ALTON OF NORTH CAROLINA,
WILMINGTON, March 1892.
Comrads: At a meeting of the Ex-
ecutive Committee held in Raleigh on
March 23d, 1892, the following reso-
luton was adopted:
Resolved, That the President of the
North Carolina Confederate Veterans
Association be requested to issue call
to each Camp or county or city Asso-
citation of Confederate Feterans, re-
questing each Association in the State
to convene and elect two delegates for
each camp (and an additional dele
gate for every twenty members above
the first twenty to represent the or
ganization in the convention of Uni
ed Confederate Veterans to be held at
New Orleans, April sth and 9th.'
AS you are doubtless already ware
there will be reunion or convention,
of the Association known as the Uni>
ted Confederate Veterans in New Or
leans, on April Sth and 9th. This
organization is composed of delegates
from the local camps or other associa-
tions by whatever name called, and
the delegates are accredited directly to
the United Confederate organization
by the camps themselves. The State
Association is most especially
! anxious that the various camps of
North Carolina shall be creGitably re-
presented at New Orleans. Matters
of grave Importance will come up for
discussion the perpetuation of our
history and the memory our comrades,
the support of our destitute brethren
and the widows of those who have pas
sed away.
The place which North Carolina
will eventually take in the history of
the late war will depend, in large
measure, upon the efforts which SHALL
be made to perpetuate the achieve
ments of her sons. You need no en-
treaty from the representative of the
State Association to see the Importance
of as full representation from North
Carolina as possible.
| urge you, therefore, first, to call a
meeting of your Camp or county LEGAL
organization, by whatever name called.
1t is desirable, however that the name
of the oranization shall be changed to
that of "The Camp of
Confederate Veterans" Ifyou have
no organization in your county is
equally important that meeting of
Confederate soldiers be called at once
20 form ore. At ttie meeting please
elect two delegates 3lom each Campo
with one additional delegate if seen fit,
for every twenty members in excess of
twenty These delegates must be ac-
credited under the signature of the
officers of the Camp (who are usually
Commander and the Adjutant), to the
New Orleans convention. As soon as
the Camp is organised or if organized,
as soon as the meeting is held, please
send the membership fee of two dollars
the roster Of members and the Con-
stitution and By Laws, if adopted, for
each Camp to George Moorman, %
Caroudelet street, New Orleans, La.
The blanks will be sent to you and
copy of the Constitution and By
Laws usually adopted, upon applica-
tion to Adjutant-G General Moorman.
Tie delegates are requsted to take
| wiah them an assessment of ten cents
per capita for each member of the
Camp.
Special rates will be given upon the
railroads, the exact figures not being
obtainable, but the rates will be pub
lished as soon as promulgated
