Are KenOmlnated ana G1Veu NEW
Terms by the Reunion Convention
In Session at Atlanta.
ATLANTA, July 22.-The fight over
the place for holding the next gather
ing of confederate veterans grows
warmer with the progress of the re-
union. The Kentucky delegation, which
last night was practically sure of the
convention, finds this morning that
Charleston is in the fight to stay and
the influence of the South Carolina del
egation is rapidly spreading.
The Kentucky delegation was assured
yesterday of the support Of Tennessee,
but it appears that that state, at meet
ing, voted II to 33 to go Charleston. In
the speechmaking at the Tennessee
meeting much was made of the fact
that $75, 900 had been subscribed for the
G. A. r. encamprnent and that, accord
ing to telegram from Mayor Weaver
of Louisville, but $4,000 had been
pledged for the confederates. Texas
announces itself in favor Of New Or
leans, but as that city is not making
any special effort toward securing the
meeting, 1t is believed by the Louisville
delegation that Kentucky will get the
Texas vote on the second ballot.
The crowds are much larger than an
ticipated and last night several churches
were thrown open for the accommoda-
ton of the veterans.
In the afternoon there were reunions
of chaplains and surgeons III, the rooms
of the Young Mems Christian associa-
ton building, also reunions of regiments
and batteries in places selected by them.
Called to Order by Gordon.
General John B. Gordon called the
convention of veterans to order IN the
auditorium at Piedmont park at 1O:SO.
He said:
eve are all confederate men and
women, but we are also Americans and
proud Of cur country. [Cheers] God
has blessed us as he has blessed no
other nation. It becomes US who have
been spared by His providence to sing
praises to Him and want the men
whose shouts have been heard on many
battlefelds to join in hymn of praise. "
Committees on credentials and reso-
lutions were announced.
The report of the historical commit
tee was presented by its chairman, Gen
eral Stephen D. Lee of Mississippi. The
report says in part:
ssIn the just war in which our coun-
try is at present engaged, our comrades
now living and the descendants Of those

inc committee from Unarlcston statcu
that the city intended to build an audi
torium with seating capacity Of 10000
and that the city council would give
SIS, 900 toward entertaining the veterans.
On the first day it appeared that
Charleston was favored by Alabama,
Florida, Virginia and Louisiana, while
Louisville claimed Texas, Mississippi
and Tennessee, with Georgia divided.
Reunion Comes to an End.
Immediately after the selection Of
Charleston as the next meeting place,

Surgeon Generals Report.

Surgeon General Tebault Of the
United Confederate veterans rendered
his annual report at the auditorium yes
terday morning. The document is quite
lengthy and contains many interesting
facts concerning the methods used by
the north in the exchange of prisoners
during the war.
The report says i'll part:
1.-The whole number of federal pris.
oners captured by the confederates and
held in southern prisons from first to
last, during the war, was i'll round mum.
bers 27O, 900, while the whole number OF
confederates captured and held in pris:
ons by the felerals was in like round
numbers only 100000. From these two
reports it appears that, with SO, 900 more
prisoners in southern stockades, or
other modes of confinement, the deaths
were nearly 1000 less.
According to these figures, the per-
centum of federal deaths in southern
prisons was under 9, while the per-
centum of confederate deaths IN north
ern prisons was over -. These nortu-
ary Statistics are of no small weight III
determining on which side there was
the most neglect, cruelty and inhuman-
ity, proclaiming as they do a loss by
death of more than 3 per cent of con-
federates over federals in prisons, while
the federals had al unstinted command
of everything"

Hard water is best softened by tho
simple process of boiling it for some
minutes. This forces the gas and
air out of it and causes the carbon
ate of lime to be at once deposited on
the sides of the kettle or boiler in
the form of fur - After being
boiled water should stand until quite
cold. Another method of softening
hard water is by the addition of a
small quantity of milk of lime,
which can be obtained from a
chemist.

Sons of Veterans Adjourn.

The final session of the convention OF
the sons of veterans was held this morn
ing at ii o'clock in the hall of the house
of representatives. 1t was the occasion
of a reception to the sponsors of the
camps of the sons Of veterans and a
very elegant affair.
Little business was undertaken, as it
was not intended to take up any work.
A few changes were, however, made in
regard to the regular order of business.
The most important of these was the
election of every sponsor present or any
one who represented a camp of the sons
of veterans at the present reunion as
honorary members of the federation.
This is very important action for the
meeting to take and will probably estab,
ish precedent that will work either
to the advantage or disadvantage of the
organization.
It was also decided that committee
of three be appointed to establish uni
form rank of the organization.
At night grand official entertain.
ment and reception in honor of the
sponsors and their maids was given in
the confederate auditorium at Exposi-
tion park.

Union PRAYER Meeting.


The Baptist church was we'll filled
last night when several other cburche s
ad journed their regular Wednesday
mig ht prayer meetings to JON in with
and help their Baptist friends. Rev.
DR.. Hanks preached from the first
chapter of John, his theme being the
Incarnation of. the Word of God in the
plan of salvation for mankind, the
Word that was made flesh in Jesus
Christ. The speaker set forth the
goodness of God in thus providing an
escape for man from sin and its penal
ties, and the entire absence of cost in
accepting salvation 1t is n free gift,
TO be had for the asking, and men who
refus. to accept it, will be found with
out excuse. DR.. Hanks made an i'm
passioned plea. He said that if saliva
ton was to cost trip around the world
what preparations we would make
to meet the requirement.. But it is
not coupled with any conditions. Either
young men and one young woman,
arose for prayers, and an after nesting
was held at which half the audience
remained, and not a few persons we're
labored with. One young man, cow
boy. who had Christian parents, told
frie nds he had had enouyh OF bad as
ociations, and preferred the associa-
tion of Gods people.
The meeting was well conducted, ard
the singing was hearty and good. AS
was noticed on Sunday and Monday
dig hts. the men fully equalled the
mum Der of women, if it did not exceed
them, which is considered a remark
ably good sign, Written requests for
prayers may be banded or SAINT to DR..
Hanks or any of the city pastors The
meetings optinue each day 800 and
/ 80 p. M, and Christian pc ople are E.
quested to invite whOmSOever they
may meet to attend the revival.
