probable that there will be any change
in the future. Lieut.. B. o. Davis of
the Tenth United States Cavalry (col-
ored) won his promotion from the
ranks because he was a remarkably
bright young fellow and a good soldier.
He was thoroughly educated at the
High School in Washington, d. c.,
which has a military battalion in which
Davis was given a practical training
in military affairs. His career and that
of ex-Lieut. H. o. Flipper of Georgia,
the first colOred graduate of West
Point, was exceptional. The same is
true of the negro graduate of Harvard
just appointed assistant United States
attorney in Boston; it is not race
question, but one of personal superior
qualifications.
In many of the deserved tributes
paid to the lamented Gen. George
Norman of New Orleans he is spoken
of as the first adjutant general of the
United Confederate Veterans" This is
not correct, as that position was frst
held by Gen. (Rev) Clement A. EVANS
of Georgia. When Gen. John B. Cor
don organized, as chief,
his general staff, he made it gen
eral" staff sure enough Next to Gen.
Evans came Gen. Stephen d. Lee of
Mississippi, Q. M. G., with Gen. Will
liam S. Walker of Florida as assistant;
Gen. r. +. Hoke of North Carolina, in
spector general; Gen. NJ. c. Butler of
South Carolina, and Gen. w. B. Bate
of Tennessee, judge advocates general;
Gen. Joseph Wheeler of Alabama, COM
missary general, with Gen. w. H. Jack
son of Tennessee as assistant. AS
aides on his staff were Gen. j. H. For
ney of Alabama, Gen. Alfred Scales of
North Carolina, Gen. Basil Duke of
Kentucky Gen. Robert Ransom of
North Carolina, Gen. L. S. Ross of
Texas, Gen. p. NJ 3. Young of Geor-
gia, Gen. r. b. Vance of North Caro-
lima, Gen. Bradley T. Johnson of Mary
land and Gen. j. B. Kershaw 'of South
Carolina. Col. w. w. Gordon of Sa-
vannah became general in the Span
ish-American War. L question very
much if ever any general staff contain
ed as many bona fide war generals. OF
the Georgians on Gen. Gordon's general
staff them or who served as aides, the
following are dead: Gems. Young and
Walker, Coils. c. c. Jones, Jr., John
Milledge, ]. o. Waddell and G. A.
Whitehead. Gov. A. d. Gambler, Or.

Convention of the u. c. ", held in

189O-following the preliminary conven-

held in New Orleans on June 10, 1889.
1t was a great occasion for the old
Confederate soldiers, hundreds of
whom met the generals under whom
they fought for the first time after the
surrender. Col. 3. w. Wrenn, at that
time general passenger and ticket
aent of the r. r., " and G. Rail-
way, published and distributed free OF
cost to his old comrades the handsom-
est and best shaped souvenir booklet
ever issued at a similar reunion. Col.
Wrenn was, as have before stated, a

Mountain against Gen. Joe HoOker's
