THE YARMOUTH ROAD.
Rum0rs of Its Sale to Portland r. all
road Denied.
Relations of the New Road with Its
Neighbors are Cordial but Nothing
Serious is Meant.

There has been prevalent rumor that
the Portland Railroad company had al
ready acquired Or was about to acquire
the controlling interest in the Portland
q Yarmouth Electric railroad. A repre-
sentative of the PRESS saw Mr.. Thomas
G. Harris on Monday and made inquiries
as to the truth of the rumor. Mr.. Har-
ris replied that there was no truth what
ever in the story. The Portland Railroad
| company had made no proposition look
| ing to purchase, and consequently the
Yarmouth electric people had entertained
| none. The promoters and controllers OF
the Yarmouth enterprise did not wish to
sell out. They intended to keep the prop
erty and operate it.
1t was true that the Yarmouth COM
pany, having been hindered by the con-
dition of the bridge over Back Bay
would run only to Deering at present, the
Portland railroad taking the passengers
there and bringing them into Portland.
The Yarmouth road would also purchase
its power of the Portland Railroad for
the present. These facts, and the general
ly handsome treatment which the Port
land Railroad management had extended
to the new company, were in Mr.. Har-
ris's opinion, the conditions which had
produced the rumor of the purchase.
Mr.. Harris said the extension of the
road to Yarmouth would be pushed at
once, and that cars would probably be
running into that village by the middle
of October

About 1000 reople were present ct tho
reunion Of Orr's r lbs, hold at Sandy
Springs. August 10th and 1lth. This at.
tendance is the largest in the history OF
the association. 1t is perhaps
for by the fact that General Longstreet was
expected to be present. The general, how
ever, could not be present on account OF
HIS health. .
Promptly at II o'clock tho survivors OF
Orr's Regiment and Veterans of other
commands wero formed in line and head
ed by the Anderson Cornet Band, March
ed to the stand, passing in review with
uncovered heads before the widows OF two
gallant colonies Of the regiment, Mrs. J.

The exercises of the morning were open
ed with prayer by the chaplain, J.T. NC.
Bride, D. D., after which the president OF
the association, Col. G. Med. Miller, the
last colonel Of the regiment, made an
address CT welcome. Ia the course OF his
remarks he called upon the mothers to
impress this fact upon ttelr children
'the Confederate soldier fought for a nobIe
cause and that though ~oVorpoWered they
were not conquered and hey had no

exhorted tho mothers in pathetic Language
that in teaching their children to pray they

Colonel Orr spoke of General MCGOWAN as

Gen. NJ. L. Bonham, who made an clio,

his remarks he seized the tattered nag
which General Longstreet presented to the

the reunion of the Veterans. 1t promises
commanding the Division, is working
hard to secure q large attendance.
South Carolina leads the Veterans AS
ISOLATION in number of Camps. and sure
ly the Sons O fveterans should do the same
in their organization. Great efforts are
being made to thoroughly rouse the
young men of this State to their duty and
to interest them in forming Camps of
Sons in every town in the State. There
are n%inety-fve Veteran Camps In the
State and only eight Camps Of Sons. These
eight are located as follows:

General Headquarters, Charleston, s. c.,
for membership, so as to take part in the
G~reenville reunion. No Camps car Join
the South Carolina Division unless they
are members of the United Sons Of Con-

Veterans meet, 1t will be the Sons

Col. James A.. Hoyt, Chairman of the

Then in Heaven with joy to greet thee,
Where no farewell tear Is shed.
