SHOULD ADMIT
SONS TO CAMP
Colonel Maury Advocates the
Bringing in of Young
Men.

The question of admitting sons OF Con-
federate veterans to membership in the
veteran camps was brought up and ad-
vocated at the regular meeting of Pickett
Camp last night by Past Grand Command
er Maury.
Colonel Maury favored the opening OF
the doors to the sons on the ground that
the tinnc was coming, If not at hand.
when young blood and energy Were need
ed in the organization as u stfmulant.
The great work of the veterans, he san
should not end with the passing OF The
last veteran, bat should be continued by
their sons, who might we'll be worked
into the harness under the direction OF the
veterans.
This stand taken by Colonel Maury was
met with considerable opposition en- tic
part OF his comrades. As the question
was already on the table. having beer: in
troduced some months ago in The camp
and at that time laid on the table fGr
twelve months, the matter ended last
night in discussion.
Colonel Maury spoke of two camp: in
Virginia already admitting TO tnei: men
bership sons, and showed that this lead
had heen most satisfactory. Ele was care
full to explain that he did not advocate
the consolidation of the sons of Confed-
crate veterans with the veterans, but
thought the doors of the camps should
be open to any veterans son as an indi-
vi0ual and not as a member of the Sons
of Veterans.
The Rixey resolution was in no way
brought up during the meeting. The bust
ness before the camp was of a. routine
nature
1t was decided that Rev. w. ". Lear,
of Centenary Methodist Church, should
be invited to preach special sermon to
the camp at All early date. Mr.. Z. 5.
Uranium was elected a member of the
camp Referring 10 the location of the
Jefferson Davis monument, Comrade
Northen favored the Monroe Park site,
and expressed strongly his disapproval
Of the idea Of placing the monument at

often been kind to him, giving him food
on many occasions.
