dations contained in the presidents and
secretary's reports.
Quite a discussion arose over the ques-
ton Of a reunion next year and the
time at which it should be held.
Some favored having it here in the
summer, after the crops are laid by;
others thought the present policy of
holding it on Wednesday and Wednesday
night of Fair week was the best policy
and secured a larger attendance than
would otherwise be here.
The latter view prevailed, and it was
decided by large majority to hold a
great reunion next year on Wednesday
of Fair week.
Judge Walter Clark presented a re-
port for the committee ON publication,
showing what sketches Of regiments had
been written, and by whom. Sixty-three
of the sketches are complete, and Judge
Clark urges survivors in the unwritten
regiments to prepare similar sketches.
On completion of Judge Clark's report
the Association extended to him vote
of thanks for his services in this mat
ter, extending as they do over a period
Of about five years.
.'In the performance of this wonder
full historical work. said Mr.. London.
Il understand Judge Clark has, with his
own hand, written more than l,oOO let
tiers trying to secure these sketches, and
| think this Association ought to do all
ii can to assist him. | therefore move
the following resolution:
"Resolyed, That some survivor OF
each Of the organizations whose history
has not yet been written be requested
to hand in a sketch of the regiment not
later than January LIST, and that if such
sketch is not ready by that time such
as are in hand shall he at once printed
The resolution was adopted, as was
also the following by Mr.. Chas. Nj
Busbee:
Whereas, IT, OBJ. Branch Camp, U
G. ", of the city of Raleigh, has inaug
urated a movement looking to the crea'
ton Of a fund to be invested for the

struck his leg against Il cake of ice
in such a manner as to bruise 1t Sc

and panied him 50 badly that he could
not walk without the aid of crutches.
He was treated by physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment and
two and half gallons or whiskey in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamberlains
