General Ordsr No. 81.
!. The T., aifth Annual Reunion Of
the United Confederate Veterans viii
be held at Dallas. Texas, April 90 -25,
1902. The Division Commander urges
upon all the Camps Of the South Caro-
lima Division the sending of large
delegations to this grand Reunion.
10 how many Of us will it be the last
time We shall clasp hands with our
comrades.
IL. The rate Of travel will be cent
per mile. AS this will be a long trip,
arrangements have been made by
which Tourists Cars, with all the sub
stantial comforts Of the Pullman Car,
but only lacking their elegance, will
be run by the Southern Railway from
South Carolina to Dallas, and suoh
Tourists Cars as may be chartered by
Camps will be parked there for use as
homes for the Veterans. The special
rate for the same will be announced by
the railroads.
Ill. Thinking always Of the con-
| venienoe and comfor. Of his comrades,
the Division Commander has carefully
weighed the advantages presented by
the various routes to Dallas, consider
ing not only the adv 1tages Of the Off
cial train going, but the regular sched-
-ules OF trains returning, to bring the
Veterans easily to their homes, out
side of and including the official train
and has decided that the route by the
Southern Railway is by far the best
and the official train will carry the
Tourists Sleepers from South Caro-.
lima. The official train will leave Co.
lumbia, 8. c., about midday Sunday
April goth, 1902, after the hour of the
arrival of trains from Fort Mill, Rock
Hill, etc., from Charleston; and trains
by the A. G. L. from eastern parts Of
the State. It will go via Newberry
Greenwood, etc., to Greenville, where
the trains from Charlotte, Spartan
burg, etc., will join it, and thence or
to Dallas. The comrades from points
lie the western part Of the State vii
join the official train at Atlanta. 1,
is scheduled to arrive at Dallas a
M, April 22nd. This movement GOV
ers more nearly the whole State thar
is possible by any other route.
~. The Division Commander re
cognizes that he has no right, md Ger
Sainly has no inclination, to requir,
the comrades of the South Carolin,
Division to go by any one route, ant
particularly if at any personal incon
venience to the comrades, but he ap
peals to them to support him in hi.
decision Of route, and to patronizt
the Southern the official route
He urges this, because:
1st. The trip is long one, and al
South Carolinians going together
places them in pleasant communion
during the 36 hours Of the trip.
I'd. Parking the chartered Touris!
Cars from South Carolina going to-
gether places them in pleasant com
munion during the 36 hours of the
trip.
Sd. If the Veterans Of the State
desire that their influence as body
be felt in the State, they must act to-
gether as unit. They can show their
common bond Of comradeship by en-.
dorsing their official head and moving
in mass.
The Division Commander feelinp
all this, most earnestly urges the
comrades Of this Division, Cor their
own comfort, their own pleasure, and
the interests Of the Division, to stand
together, and all make the trip to
Dallas by the official route on the
Southern Railway.
By order
