A Glorious Timo at Sotith Carolli Ilend quartern Deilte the Weakther-The Stato Flag anl the Oenixlno PamIt tin Treo A([ mired by the Crowd. (Special to the News and Courier.) Louisville, 1.y., May 31.-The vot orans from SoutL, Carolina have been seeking shelter fi'm the drizzling rams today. Already many of the big reunion plans have been spoiled by thunder storms and rain, and there is not a very encouraging out look for tomorrow. The grizzled fighters from the Palmetto Stato have seen mnore hardships, however, than any endured by water, and they have satisfied themsolves with Kentucky and its fine product. A few of the Carolina veterans have started borme and many others wvill leave tomorrow at the finish of the grand parade. Around the South Carolina head qluarters groat crowds have gathered today. These headquarters are con. sidered to be the most elab)orately decorated in the city, and the twvo huge palmetto trees from Charleston have caught the eye of the people who pass by. The State is splen didly represented and the register shows more than eight hundred Car olinians in attendance at the reunion. A "THIRsT DEPARTMENT." Trhe bad weather has driven the veora'rs to their hall. There is a fine band of music to cheer the crowds and in the building there is a "thirst department" to ripen friend ships inta closer bonds. At a meet ing of the division this morning it was decided to cast the unanimous vote of South Carolina for Baltimore as the next place for thie reunion, wirth Memphis as a second choice. Many of the veterans favored Mem phis, but the unanimons vote of the division will go to the Maryland city. Adjutant General Floyd has been asked to speak in Baltimore's behalf at the convention, and lie will make a ringing speoch to help pull the -votes. Gen. Walker, at the convention to day, introduced his resolutions on the schoolbook question. These in of feet are to see if necessary funds can be raised to defray the expenses of an active canvass in the Sonth to ore ate a sentiment for the use of school histories which are fair to the South and to exclude others which aire not. The resolutions were referred to the committee on resolutions. R Woman and fewberry's G ise the entirn . and can9t a, Lting and slashin 5.

H was appointd chairman of ak special colmItto tc extend tho greeting and, at the coi vention of the Sons of Votorans, he made an address which was well re coived. The South Carolina veterans fared 'vell in tho honors today: Col. Zim. merman Davis was appointed chair man of the committee on credontials and Gen. Carwile was mado chair man of the committee on resolutions. Many of the 'alinetto State voterans attended the convention this morn ing, but thoro was so much noiso and confusion in tho hall that the pro cooding could not be heard. The voterans seemed to find moro satis faction in looking in the shop win dows. THlE GOVERINoR IN cLOVEa,* Governor McSwooney hias mnade friends by the dozen since his arri vuli, and the honorable position he occupies has caused him to be the subject of certain leIasantries as to his relations with Iho Governor of North Carolina. For instance, today at the South Carolina headquarters most amusing comedy was arranged for the honolfit of a number of vet srans from other delegations whlo happened to be present about the time Governor McSwconey camoe in. [The Governor was drafted into ser vice for one of the principal actors, and the Governor of North Carolina baving failed to attond the reunion, a veteran bearing a resemblance to bim was called upon to act in his itoad. With elaborate ceremony it bvas announced that the Governor of NTorth Carolina and the Governor of South Carolina wore present and say ng something to each other, arid nesses as to what this conversation ~olatod to would be received1. Gov. ~fcSwooney has received many cour eous attentions, as has Col. Floyd, who is at home withI the veterans. HIARD ON SPONSoRs AND MAIDS.
