Plans for the Reunion of tbe South Carolioa Veterans. Special to Tbe State Greenwood, July 20 ?Tbe aoouel reooioo of the Sooth Carolioa division of Uuitec Coofederate Veterans, to be heid io this oity August 1 aod *2, will be tbe biggest gathering Greenwood bas ever bad, aod promise to be .he . most successful reuoioo ever held in tbe State Tbe people are talking about it, to use a hackoeyed expression, "fron tbe mouotaioa to the seaboard " Greenwood ii doiog all that eould be expeoted of ber io tbe way of prepare iog for tbe visitors Tbe various hotels aod boarding booses ere making extra? ordinary preparatioos for the entertain? ment of the orowds, eod tbe committee oo entertainment appototed by the oiti i*ns some weeks ago reports that near ly every borne to tbe oity will be thrown open to the visitors. Thero are preotioelly no exceptions te this rule. Greenwood will keep "open house" doriog tbe rouoion. Besides this several of tbe hells in the oity will be restaurants running oigbt aod day. It is proposed to look first of ell to tbe pcrsooal comfort and entertain ment of the old soldiers. Veterans in? tending to be present should notify J. B Park, seoretary of tho committee, at joce, so that homes may be aesigocd. Greenwood wants to do tbe right thing by her guests, and (be work of the committees will be facilitated by com? pliance with this request. There will be homes provided fur every veteran, most of them without cost, if the com toittco is notified beforehand. Of course some of the visitors will desire to pay for their oecommcdatioos and the?e will be allowed to do so. Tbe publio meeting of the veterans will be held to tbe court room of tbe court house, while the available oouoty offices will be pressed ioto service as oommittee aod reoeptioo rooms, etc. Camp Aikeo, tbe local camp of veter? ans, will bave their headquarters io tbe law range buildiog, near by In this buildiog there will be a room filled with curios eod relies of tbe wer, which will he of great interest. The city will be deooreted.

Jefferson or Lin coin To tbe ancestor worshiping Celestisl the threst to destroy the im perisl tombs at Pekin means vastly more than a similsr desecration does to the European or American It is hardly probsble, however, that the civilized nations now at odds with China will adopt tbe strange suggestion of tbe consul though it would by no means be the first time that civilized nations bave played upon tbe reliioos prejudices and superstitions of less enlightened peoples with tbe view of terrorizing them - m- ?
