elected to that position.
Delegates to the reunion at Richmond
were appointed as follows: S. W. Ar
nett, S. j. Sem, l. G. Marshall and

AFTER THE GOVERNOR.
The meeting had been commonplace
enough up to this time, but from then
on there was fire in the old veterans and
the proceedings assumed a lively inter-
est. The change was brought about by
the introduction of the following pream-
bles and resolutions by Veteran w. K.
Pilsbury:
GAS confederate veterans looking with
glad anticipation to the reunion which
is soon to take place at Richmond, Va,
and as we have a right to invite our
company'-such as we desire to be pres
ent at that great gathering Of the Yeter-
ans of the south--we emphatically deny
that any one should be present that will
not be in harmony with confederate sen.
timent. Our h spitality cannot be ex-
tended with any degree Of consistency to
doubtful persons. AS camp, actual.
ed by no prejudice and bi ased by no
political feeling, which we scorn, we
must stand by our guns aad double
shotted though they be, we intend to
fire them constantly and never let the
enemy capture them. At Richmond
the sentiment will be exhaustively con-
federate, and we protest against anyone
going to the reunion that will be made
heartily sick and tired of so much con-
federate sentiment In this protest we
voice the sentiments of the MAORI
ty of the cOnfederates of the state, there
fore be it
"Resolved, That the Terrell County
Camp of Confederate Veterans does
earnestly protest against Governor w
Y. Atkinson participating in the confed-
crate reunion at Richmond; and, alsL, we
heartily endorse every word and para
graph of the open letter of Private Lew
is Cook addressed to Governor w. Y.
Atkinson.
"Be it also resolved, That we heartily
endorse the recent action of the Sumter
county veterans inviting Governor w.
Y. Atkinson not to go to the confeder-
ate reunion, and award the need of
praise to Veteran Lev ert, who had the
courage and the manhood to submit to
the Fulton county veterans resolutions
protesting against Governor w. Y. At
kinson attending the reunion at Rich
mond
"Be it further resolved, That the pa
pers of the state be requested to publish
these resolutions, and that the adjutant OF
secretary of this camp be requested to
furnish the committee at Richmond in
charge of The reunion with a copy of
these resolutions"
Captain r. F. Simmons was the first
and only one to speak against the reso-
buttons. He stated that he was not the
defender of the governor, and did not
endorse the sentiment that had been ex.
pressed by him, but that he was now
Governor Of Georgia and at the head OF
the state troops, and as such should
have d place in the exercises at Rich
mOnd.
A number of veterans spoke strongly
and feelingly in favor of the resolutions,
and their remarks provoked considera.
bic enthusiasm.
When all had spoken who desired to
the resoluti ms were adopted by rising
vote. There were only four votes against
them. A number who were in tho meet
ing refrained from voting either way.
