CHARLESTON, S. c., Nov. %, 1896.
General order No. 26.
|. The division commander being con-
vinced that certain suggested changes,
not in conflict with our constitu-
tion, would materially improve the con-
, dition of the United Confederate Vet
Grams in this State. to secure general
expression of opinion thereon, invited
n representative from each camp, the
brigade commanders and the division
staf to meet him Mt the fair grounds III
, Columbia, November IL. The plan.
with certain notifications. met the
unanimous approval of oil present Mt
that meeting. The division commander
! therefore promulgates the scheme and
commends it most earnestly TO tho di-
! vision as ono calculated to largely in
| crease the interest and membership in
and influence of the United Confeder-
ate Veterans of this division.
.. The formation of the small
camps, by county neighborhoods is
deemed preferable to large camps, en-
bracing an entire con unity or other
large areas. Such offers opportunities
for more frequent meetings and inter
course, and thus keeps alive an inter,
est in our organization and our oppor-
tunitics for good. The organization of
the camps of each county into regi-
ments, which can meet ut least annu
ally, supplies tho place of county
camp.
3. Camps can be formed in sparscly
settled neighborhoods with minimum
of ten members, but mt least twenty
members is the preferable number for
camp. The expenses attending a
camp are, s. charter fee, paid only on
applying FOX the charter; 10 cents per
member per annum (l0 cents to the
General Federation of United Confed.
crate Veterans and cents to the State
diviHoL). These fees should be remit
