SONS OF VETERANS GATHERED
Delegates to Augusta Reunion to Be
Announced Soon.

SUM-
One of the largest and most enthus-
iastic meetings of Francis S. Barlow
Camp, Sons of Confederate Veterans,
held recently was that of last night,
called to select delegates to the annual
reunion of Confederate Veterans and
Sons of Veterans, which will be held
in Augusta, Nov. 10-11-12.
The delegates were not named and
probably will not be selected until 1t
is ascertained just how many members
of the camp will attend the reunion,
which probably will be known to-day.
A large delegation is expected to go,
however, 50 there will be little trouble
in having the camp represented by its
full quota of delegC ties. No official
route was selected but it is generally
understood that it will be the Central
Railroad, particularly as the veteran
organizations have already named that
line as the official route.
MIR. c. G. Edwards, commandant of
the camp, who presided, was made
chairman of the delegation and will
name the other members. He will also
select a sponsor to represent the camp
at the reunion. Mr.. Edwards was
especially pleased with the meeting be-
cause of the large number of members
who were received into the organiZa-
ton, as well as the many applications
for membership yet to be passed on.
At the conclusion of the business
meeting the members adjourned to the
supper hall, on the upper floor of Artil-
lery Hall, where supper was served
by the Independent Society of St.
Pauls Church. A number of enjoyable
addresses were made, the list of speak
ers and their subjects where an
nounced, being as follows: A. D. Har-
den, w. w. Sheppard, 1.-THE South as
1t Was and the South as 1t Is: G. C.
Haywood, THE Bonds That Unite U.s.;
r. L. Denmark. "Our Trust; E. C.

"THlNGS WILL TAKE A TURN"
SAID HOUSE BREAKER.

scriptiOn While Being Sentenced.

Wore Button with Prophetic In
scriptiOn While Being Sentenced.
William Walters, alias Rubber Nit
chell, alias several other names, was
sentenced to forty years in the peni-
Tertiary by Judge Barrow in the Su-
perior Court yesterday on two charges
of burglary to which he entered pleas
of guilty. The other four charges
against him, for burglarizing the home
of Lee Roy Myers, were relegated to
the dead docket.
As Walters walked into the court
room to receive his sentence, Detec-
tive Wall noticed a button which the
crook was wearing in the lapel of his
coat. He stopped to examine it, and
as he did so the negro laughed and
said, Yes; things will sho' take a
turn in a few minutes" That was the
inscription on the button; and they
did. Judge Barrow gave the confessed
burglar twenty years each on the
two charges.
Walters is about 80 years old,
so that it is probable that he will die
in the penitentiary. He took the sem
tence with stoical indifference, saying
that he might as well have got TWEEN
~ years on each of the six charges.

MINISTERS SECURE
PROMISE OF NO GAMBLING
Committee Met with Fair Directors
Yesterday Afternoon.

A committee from the Ministerial AS
ISOLATION. composed Of Rev. w. A. Mis-
bet, chairman; Rev j. A. Smith and
Rev. John D. Jordan, met the fair di-
rectors yesterday afternoon and dis
cussed the matter of gambling on the
grounds A promise was made by the
directors that no games of the roulette
class would be allowed on the grounds
this year.
Rev. w. A. Nisbet. chairman of the
Ministerial Committee, when asked
concerning the meeting by represen-
tative of the Morning News, said:
1--WE were met fairly and squarely by
the directors and the question OF gam
bling on the grounds was discussed
from all sides. There was no DISPOSE
ton on either side to attempt to force
the others TO an agreement, but all
talked the matter over in all its phases.
At the conclusion the management
gave us their assurances, as gentle
men, that they would permit no
gambling devices of the roulette ma
ture on the grounds this year,
"Our request was to prohibit all
games of the roulette class, as these
are games which are particularly like
ly to lead the young and unsophisti-
Gated into playing their money, only
to lose it. 1t is these games which we
were assured would be kept off the
grounds. That was all we asked for,
and all our concessions were granted.
I'VE made no request to prohibit
gambling on the races. We knew well
that matters of that kind rested with
the individual, and, furthermore. we
did not wish to ask for anything I'M
reasona BILE from the directors. We have
their assurances that there will be no
games such as were run under the
grand stand two years ago at the fair
this year. Our agreement does not APP
ply simply to games under the grand
stand. but to the entire ground.
I'VE are not growing over a victory,
or anything Of that sort. We were
met like gentlemen and our arguments
listened to courteously. The promise
to prohibit the games was then made.
We took our stand simply because we
were earnestly and conscentously con-
WINGED that such games were wrong
and were traps for the innocent and
unsophisticated.
