rhe rally on Tuesday was q greater
success than any one expected per-
haps. Certainly the veterans turned
out i'm surprising numbers. A long
line of them were in the parade and
there were many who were late or FOR
one cause and another did not get into
line, then there were many who forty
years ago could march all day without
:jinner but now could not march
around a square. At the opera house
the exercises were opened with pray
er by the Rev. IL. o. Judd. Major j.
II. Marion then delivered the address
of welcome in behalf OF the city, 10
which Gov. Hayward responded. Rev.
A. c. Barron, D. D.. Of Charlotte, was
then introduced in the place Of others
on the programme who were absent,
and made most appropriate and
feeling address. Col. ]. w. Reed, COM
nlander, called Walker CASTOR camp
to order, and Gov. D. c. Hayward was
elected an honorary member and 1t
vas resolved to confer on him Cross
of Honor. The governor accepted this
honor in a brief but admirable speech.
The camp also invited Gov. Hayward
to meet with them again on January
18th, and make an address, when his
and other crosses will be presented.
At the suggestion of Rev. John Bass
Shelton. voluntary contribution was
made for the purpose Of placing
markers at the graves Of the unknown
Confederate dead in Evergreen GEM
etery. This collection amounted to
S77.91. After the close of exercises

for the veterans in a large vacant

vided by people who came in from
the country, by citizens Of the town.
and an appropriation by the city coun-
Gil The supervision and arrange
ment of this was put entirely into the
hands of Mr.. r. M. Cross, and every
one is applauding the manner In
which he discharged his duty. The
veterans Jared sumptuously, and left
enough for many more. The Lee
Light Infantry had tables prepared up
stairs for the visiting companies,
where nothing was left to be desired,
and the young men had a delightful
time. In the afternoon, large crowd
witnessed the battalion formation on
the square, where three companies
Chester, Hazelwood and Fort Mill-of
the Third battalion were addressed IN
Il very complimentary and pleasant
way by Governor Hayward, Adj. Gen.
Frost and Col. ]. c. Boyd. The bat
TALON, under command Of Maj. j. H.
Marion, then marched to the fair
grounds and drilled for some time, af-
ter which it returned to the square
and was dismissed. The opera house
was again we'll filled at $50 for the re-
mainder Of the days programme, and
this was a very entertaining part.
