eating the Children of the South to
Clearly Comprehend the Sacrifices
and Patriotism of Their Fathers.
Memphis. Tenn, May 29-Twenty
three hundred and five members of the 1
United Confederate Veterans, surviv-
ors of the great armies that battled for
the cause of the south during the war
of secession, and representing 1881
camps of the organization, met in Con-
federate Hall yesterday for their 18th
annual reunion. Several delegations
arrived too late to participate in the
opening session of the convention. bu.
It is expected that there will be fully
$500 old soldiers in attendance.
Although the convention in point of
oratory, enthusiasm and all other re-
spects was a most brilliant success,
the weather put a damper on the one
feature of the reunion which Memphis
had arranged with especial care and
pride. This was the great floral pa
rade, which, owing to the threatening
clouds and muddy streets in the out
skirts of the city, was postponed, as
was the exhibition of the fireworks on
the Mississippi river.
Before the meeting of the conven-
ton in the Confederate Hall the La.
/ dies Memorial association signalized
the first day Of the reunion by holding
in Calvary church a memorial meet
ing for Jefferson Davis The exercises
comprised the rendering of several
hymns and a memorial address by
Bishop Thomas G. Gailor
Bishop Gailor, who is a forceful and
pleasing speaker, took exceptions to
the term rebellion" as applied to the
war between the states, and spoke
earnestly in favor Of educating the chill
dren Of the south so that they would
clearly comprehend the sacrifices ant
patriotism of their fathers He made
a strong plea for that justice to the
motives actuating the south during the
war which he asserted had been de
MED to them by certain historians. TIL,
children of the south, he declared
must never be made to believe tina
their fathers had done anything blu
what they believed in their limos
hearts to be right, He closed with al
eloquent tribute to the patience an
heroism shown by the women of tn
south which fully equalled, he sale
the gallantry revealed by the me-
upon the battlefield
