PICNIC AND PRIZE DRILL
OF REPUBLICAN BLUES

The annual prize drill and picnic of
the Republican Blues will be held at
Bohans pavilion at Tybee on Thurs
day Coming as it does on the eve of
the regimental prize drill, it attracts a
great deal of attention, and because of
the enjoyment which always attends
the annual celebration of the COM
mand, the members of the command
are looking forward to the occasion
eagerly.
The company, under the command of
Capt. Joseph M. Dreyer, win leave for
the island early in the morning so as
to get the full benefit of the days QUIZ
ing. The members of the command
will escort their lady friends, and be-
sides the picnic and military feature,
there will be dancing on the pavilion.
The greatest interest attaches to the
prize drill, and it is the desire of the
members of the company to make the
| members of the regimental team work
like Trojans to wrest Ehe much coveted
company medal from them. The judges
for the drill will be Capt. C. H. Kone-
| mann, Capt. j. T. West and Capt. ].
| c. Tyson.
At a meeting of the company last
night after the inspection, plans for
the days enjoyment were discussed. A
poll of the company developed the fact
that almost every member would be
able to participate in the exercises.
Some of the men will not be able to
go down with the company on the
early train. but as a convenient sched-
ule has been arranged, they will be
| enabled to join their command later In
| the day.

BOYS IN GRAY IN CAMP,
BIVOUAC AND BATTLE
Described by Rev. j. W. Jones, Chaplain General
of United Confederate Veterans.

The address delivered by Rev. ].
William Jones, chaplain general of the
United Confederate Veterans, to the
Confederate Associations and their
friends, at the Confederate Veterans
Associations Hall last night was
greatly enjoyed.
The speaker was introduced by Gen.
Peter McGlashan. On the stage, be-
sides Gen. McGlashan, sat Capt. Chest
mutt. president of the McLaws Camp of
United Confederate Veterans, and Capt,
Young, president of the Confederate
Veterans Association. The address.
replete with humor and pathos and
historic incident, held the attention Of
the audience throughout,
"The Boy in Grey"
DR.. Jones announced as his subject:
"The Boy in Grey, or the Private Sol
diers of the Confederate Army as 1
Knew Them" He claimed to have
known the private soldier, with whom
he associated from Harper's Ferry
in 1851 to Appomattox Court House in
1866. He had the highest appreciation
of the great leaders of the Confedera-
cy. and thought that the South had
great cause to be proud of them, but
insisted that while such leaders as Lee,
Johnston and Jackson would have made

diers as composed the armies of North
ern Virginia made first-class generals.
He spoke first of who the private
soldiers were, showing by illustration
that they were among the very best of
the Southland-that the education.

the South and its real manhood was in

Army.
Depicted Soldiers Life.
Having shown who they were. he
proposed to show what they were. and
did this by series of imaginary visits
to their camps, describing the uni
form in 1861, with its brightness, tinsel
and beauty, and contrasted it with
the uniform of the later war of which
the jacket in grey, which the soldier
boys wore, was a type. He pictured
them in camp, on the march, in the
bivouac and on the battle field, illus
trating these points with anecdotes
both humorous and pathetic, claiming
that the private soldier of the Con-
federacy was the best type Of soldier
that ever marched under any banner
or fought for any cause.
He concluded insisting that every
one ought to know the history of
these men and teach their children
and their children's children what they
accomplished and hand down their
memory and their fame to the remotest
generations.

CASINOS SUMMER
VAUDEVILLE.

Season VIII Open Monday, May IS.
The Casino season will open on Mon
day, May IS, with vaudeville, to be
followed on Monday by an opera COM
pany, which will be on the boards for
a week. The first will be an auxiliary
week, being added to the regular Casino
season in response to the demand for
entertainment there.
Manager L. w. Nelson is pleased
with the outlook for the season at the
Casino, which he regards as the best
since he has been in charge. The bet
ter class of people who attended the
Casino performances last season has
paved the way for Manager Nelson to
do better this season for the reason
that there will probably not be the
same timidity about the propriety of
attending the resort.
Il think 1 demonstrated last season
that the shows put on for the Casino
will be clean, and such as any may
attend" said Manager Nelson. The
new season opens with the promise
of having the attendance of the best
people of the city"

pating a big time at New Orleans. The

cheap rate for the excursion will in
duce many to go.

which will be used by them during
