AN IMPOSING PARADE.
Veteran Organizations Turned Out
with Full Ranks.

The parade of the afternoon was one
of the most striking feature of the
days observance. 1t followed the pro-
gramme of past years, but it was
filled with unusual incidents from the
time of it's formation until IL was
dismissed at the soldiers lot in Laurel
Grove.
The procession was formed on the
west side of Wright Square. 1t was
led by platoon of mounted police, be-
hind which marched the First Regl-
ment Band and the military escort,
consisting of a provisional company of
the First Regiment, under the COM
mand Of Capt. J. T. West, of the Sa-
vannah Cadets.
Following the escort came a line of
carriages, in which rode Bishop Ben
Jamin D. Kelley. the orator of the day,
Rev. DR.. w. c. Schaeffer, Gen. P. Nc
Glashan and others. Barlow Camp of
Sons of Veterans, under the com
mand of Commandant David c. Bar
row, followed and then came the car
riage in which was Miss Mary Gusts
Lee.
The Veterans Line.

ISOLATION was under the COM
mand of First Vice President
John R. Dillon and McLaws'
Camp of Veterans under the command
OF Commander c. L. Chestnut Capt.
Louis G. Young was in command, as
marshal, of the entire procession. All
of the organizations in line turned out
with full ranks, especially remarkable.

rams Association, in view of the fact
that many of its members have been
in attendance on the Dallas reunion
and have not returned to the city.
At the grounds of the Savannah
Hospital, on the corner of CASTOR and
Drayton streets. the chapter of Chill
dren of the Confederacy was drawn
up and as the parade passed 1t joined
the procession, of which until it was
dismissed the chapter formed Il part.
The band played a durge as the pro-
cession turned from Drayton street into
the Park Extension, and in slow time
the march to the monument was COM
pleted. Here the veterans formed
around the four sides of the shaft
within the enclosure, and handed to
the Children of the Confederacy the
wreaths of laurel they had worn.
These were deposited around the base
Put Wreath on Monument.
Miss Lee took leading part in the
final decoration of the monument, and
with her own hands placed in posi-
ton the wreaths of the Sons of Vet
Grams. This. a circle of laurel en-
closing a floral battle flag of the Con-
federacy, was suspended upon the
northern front Of the pedestal of the
monument.
The concluding exercises of the pa
rade took place at the soldiers lot
in Laurel Grove Cemetery. The Chill

FOR A SUITABLE MAN.
COIIectOrship Resolution at Cotton
Exchange Meeting.

exchange meeting.
A meeting of the Savannah Cotton
Exchange has been called for to-mor-
row at noon. The object of the meeting
is the consideration of the question of
a collector of customs for Savannah.
This specific purpose was stated in the
request for the meeting, which was
signed by the requisite number of
members of the Exchange.
Those who signed the request do not
want Col. j. H. Deveaux reappointed
to the dictatorship. One of their
number will introduce a resolution,
calling upon the President to appoint
some citizen who may be suited for the
Office. The resolution does not name
Col. Deveaux as persona non grata,
but it aims directly at him, neverthe-
less and it is possible that there may
be such an amendment as not to make
it necessary to read between the lines.

who asked that the meeting be called

of Honor.
Savannah paid loving and tender
tribute yesterday to the glorious deeds
and the immortal memory of the Con-
federate dead. From the hearts of the
people Of the city went up this offer
ing of devotion to the heroes in gray
who yielded up their lives in defense
of right, in defiance of might.
AS usual the Daughters of the Con-
federacy, survivors and descendants
of that band of noble women of the
South whose conduct and self-sacri-
fee, willing and accomplishing amid
the stress of war and death, compelled
the unwilling admiration of their coun-
try's foes, were foremost in Memorial
Days work of love.
Early in the morning they began
their pious labors. Under the trans
forming power of their zeal and taste
the monuments to Southern valor that
rise from the parks and in the ceme-
teries of Savannah became shafts of
beauty and color. The laurel of victory
and honor, the cypress of grief, bright
flowers that typified the beauty of the
lives, the glory of the deaths of the
soldiers of the Southland, made of the
dead stone living symbols of the spirit
and the meaning of the day.
In the cemeteries about the city every
lowly grave which holds the ashes of
a Confederate soldier received its share
of attention. A wreath of laurel crown
ed the simple stone that bore each
heros name and a miniature of the
battle flag he had followed to victory
and at last to death, told it's story
of dangers dared and honor won.
The parade of the veterans in the
afternoon, escorted by Barlow Camp
of Sons of Veterans and a provisional
company of the First Regiment of In
fantry, was a moving and imposing
spectacle. Occupying a carriage in the
procession was Miss Mary Custis Lee,
daughter of the loved and lamented
leader of the armies of the Confeder-
acy, who at the Confederate monu-
ment and in the soldiers lot in Laurel
Grove played a prominent part in the
exercises of the day. At night at
Guards Hall Ri. Rev. Benjamin j.
Kelley. Bishop of Savannah. delivered
the Memorial Day address. 1t was
feeling and eloquent effort. breathing
the Southerner's devotion to the Lost
Cause and it's heroes living and dead,
and discussing with force and energy
some of the vital questions of the day.
Perhaps it's caustic criticism of Presi-
dent Roosevelt was at once it's most
interesting and, coming as it did from
a Roman Catholic priest and bishop,
its most remarkable feature.
