MEMPHIS REUNION.

Again is diminishing throng gather
ing In peaceful council; this time in
Memphis. To-day marks the beginning
Of the eleventh annual reunion Of the
United Confederate Veterans and the
sixth annual reunion Of the United Sons
Of Confederate Veterans. Fathers and
sons are journeying to the common
Mecca Of the loyal Southerner.
Peace and blessed memories to the
veterans around the campires. May
the tales retold In the happy meetings
Of old comrades-in-arms have the old
time zest. May the halting steps Of the
brave old men find strength in the con-
temptation Of the generations springing
up to win their battles In ways Of joy
and happiness. Grant smiles and not
tears for the men Of the South.
There has not been pictured q more
heroic deed ON the battlefelds Of the
Civil War than the daily upbuilding Of
ruined industries which has been the lot
Of the veterans. Day by day the MEM
cries Of the war were thrust upon them
by the necessity Of rejuvenating their
beloved country. Brave hearts indeed
that did this 90 well In spite Of so many
discouragements.
Only in few States have pensions
been granted to Confederate soldiers. In
others, as in Missouri, soldiers homes
have been established. Too often the
poverty Of the State has compelled re-
trenchment, even In the caring for In.
valided survivors Of the long struggle.

NEGRO KILLS ANOTHER.
Allen Flowers Slain Near Brundidge
 by Jack Smith.

Brundtdge, July 22.@Special )-Al- len Flowers. quite a notorious negro, under indictment for complicity in stealing cotton from Mir. w. E. Boyan and attempting to burn his gin house, near here last fall, died last night as the result of a blow from a gun in the hands of another negro, Jack Smith, inflicted Saturday night. It happened at Frank Smiths, a brother of Jack, just south of the city limits. Smith Is in custody, awaiting preliminary hearing. From the evidence, 1t appears to be a case of self-defense, as Flow CTS. who was drinking, snapped the gun at Smith several times. The latter wrenched the weapon from him but was again attacked, this time with a knife. He then struck his antagonist a terrible blow with the gun. crushing his skull, the hammers penetrating the brain. Smith came in Sunday morn ing and surrendered. He has been before the courts on several occasions for petty crimes, and his reputation is in nowise angelic. He is about 20 years old and Flowers was about 50.
 Jasper GrubIes, a negro who said he lived in Troy. was shocked by light ming Saturday afternoon, a mile and half east of town. He was walking along the road and bolt struck a tree about 5lAly yaiOo LAOHh hAHAp knocking him unconscious. and 1t was thought for a time he was dead. He recovered in a short time.
 Everything is in readiness for the reunion Thursday and Friday. Be- sides the orators of the occasion, Colo mel Woods and Capt. B. H. Screws, Governor Jelks, Generals Oates, San ford and Harrison.

 Mr. Smith of Mobile, sent up an anne ndment to the Article that the Leg islature might meet elsewhere than Montgomery when 1t became iInpossi- ble to meet at the Capitol. The Smith amendment was adopted.
 MT. Smith of Mobile gave notice that he would move to reconsider the vote by which Section 59 was adopted.
 Mir. Beddow of Jefferson, sent up an amendment to the Article known as Section 6e, providing that all printing done under this Article shall bear the label or tho Typographical Union, pro- viding 1t be at the lowest price.
 Mr. Beddow addressed the Conven- tion on union labor. He said the prop osition was backed up by at least '25. 900 white voters of Alabama. He declared he had been surprised that his efforts along this line had to some extent been met with ridicule by some of the del- egates. He said he wanted to put the Convention on record on the question of union labor.
 GoVern0f OateS argued dBdlhSt the amendment. He said 1t had no place in the Constitution. There was no dis in the Article against union labor. The lowest responsible bidder was to get the work and he did not think the amendment was necessary. There were honest Ia borers outside of tho union. He concluded by moving to table the Beddow amendment,
 Mir. Beddow called for the ayes and nays, but the call was not sustained. The amendment was tabled by an vote. and the Convention at 6:3U o'clock adjourned.
