o. r. Morton Post,

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
Two hundred and fifty colored veterans
anxiously await that last word to be
spoken by the national encampment that
meets at Cleveland, Ohio, September II,
1901, to whether O. P. Morton Post,
No. f. of the Department of the Potomac,
shall ever again march the streets of
Washington For twenty-one years it has
existed and made a history too sacred to
be blotted out in the manner determined.
Among her members are those who have
seen long and faithful service, but never
at any time surrendered the grand old flag
or proved traitor. 1t may not be known
to all, but it is nevertheless true that an
order was issued commanding that never
again should the flag be destroyed for fear
of falling into the hands of the enemy but
such an order never had reference to negro
troops 1t was Sergeant Planciancois who
said: Colonel, l will bring back those
coors to you in honor report to God
the reason why and falling in death, the
grand old flag covered him. 1t was Car
ney at Fort Wagner who struggled over
dead and dying, falling at last as he NUT
tered THE old flag never touched the
ground boys" Men who fought side by
side with these heroes are the men who
have made the history of 0. p Morton
Post and who are trusting the encampment
Will not say they may not again march un-
der the banner of that post. If necessary
they will submit, protesting all the while
that after such services as they have given
they are entitled to all that comes to any
member Of the G. A. r. Simple justice will
restore Q. 2. Mortons charter and her
property. CHAS. H. SHORTER.

Fund for Old Soldiers.

There is a plan on foot in Westmoreland
and the neighboring counties of Virginia
for the establishment of fund for the
purpose of taking care of the old, disabled
and needy confederate veterans of that
part of tidewater Virginia. 1t is proposed
to organize clubs in each district, and the
ladies will hold festivals, fairs and other
entertainments to raise money for such a
fund. The money thus raised will be used
for the benefit of old soldiers who are un-
able to care for themselves, and will insure
them the comforts of life in their old age
and proper attention when they are sick
While the plan is only yet being dis
cussed, it will take prominent shape very
shortly it is said.
