lieyed that over the school-h0ueeE tho
State nag should float. and not tbe n1-
tional flag. Several other speakers adj
dressed the camp. and tho motion was
then adopted by very large majority
OPPOSED TO MILITARY TsrLEo
Commander Kean. OF Louisa, ofEsred the
following:
Resolved. That the officers Of the
Grand Camp OF Virginia and SIS subordl-
nate camps be known and addressed ~
the titles OF their respective officers, ami
not by titles Of military rank"
The necessity for this resolution, 10
said. was very evident. from the fact
that there are more coionels In the Stats
to-day than there ever were In the
whole southern armies.
Colonel Henry. OF Norfolk. opposed the
resolution. because the Grand Camp had
never consented to confer titles Of mile
tary rank, and recognized none, and ne
thought the motion was uncslled for.
Rev. DIR. Jones thought II might ha
pertinent to explain that these compli-
mentary titles were conferred By fno
subordinate camp charters.
Colonel Morton favored the resolutions
He said he felt sure the titles were not
desired by those upon whom they were
conferred.
Colonel Maury said the matter had
been discussed at Winchester, and II
was felt that though the Grand Camp
could take no action compelling the SUE
bordinate camps to take action, tts dis-
cussion could not fail to be salutary.
These fictitious titles. be said, have
grown to be a reproach to the Confsde-
rate soldiers. Commander kean saiu
that that was certainly fact Tor hs
own children made ridicLse OF II. com-
rade Donovan, Of Mathews. spoke In
favor OF the motion. and after some
further remarks from numerous other
sources along the same lines, the resos
luton was carried with only one disscns
tient voice.
TO MARK THEIR GRAVES.
Comrade Smith called the attention 81
the Grand Camp to the movement in~
~, foxia
| Veterans. the Sons OF Veterans, and thd
Daughters Of the confederacy. 70 erect
monuments over the graves OF Confedes
rate soldiers buried in northern prisons
and introduced Colonel Garnett. whd
spoke very emphatically in favor OK tns
| movement. The latter gentleman exc
messed the hope that some action would
be taken by the Grand Camp to more
| faithfully cherish the memory or moss
soldiers who died In captivity.
| Comrade Smith then offered the Follows
| ing: Resolved. That the Grand Camp
| Confederate Veterans, Department oil
| Virginia. most heartily endorses the acc
| ton of r. r. Lee Camp, No. 1. Copfedes
rate Veterans. the Sons OF Veterans. ana
| Daughters Of the Confederacy. In their
! effort TO raise funds to place monuments
| over the graves Of Confederate prsoners'
and who are buried In northern soiis
and that we pledge them our hearty
support"
This resolution was adopted unani~
mously.
NO WORK THERE TO DO.
Rev. DIR. J. william Jones moved that
as the committees were not reaay "a
| report, the camp should adjourn unui
the morning This brought about q
storm Of protest. and livery oiscus>
sion ensued. IL was advanced oy those
who opposed the motion, that the camp
was for behind with It's business; that
much OF Importance remained to be done.
The motion was first lost, but 1t beine
apparent that SO further business could
be transacted at that session, the bony
finally adjourned until this morning al
10 o'clock.
