Experts OF America and France Agree
Upon Contestants,

Upon Contestants.
Conditions for international revolver
matches by cable have been agreed
upon by the United States Revolver
association and the National Shooting
society of France, and as a result the
contest will De held June 81, % or 30.
The question of date is the only mat
ter remaining unsettled. The French
experts desire that the limit for the
barrel be 121h inches and the weight
OF arm 5-S pounds. This was ac-
cepted by the Americans, most of
whom, however, will use the regula-
ton inch barrel and the other barrels
varying up to 8 inches. There will be
10 men and three substitutes on each
team. Each of the Is will use the 10
standard American targets of six shots
each at distance of so yards.

SONS AND DAUGHTERS
OF THE CONFEDERACY
THB TWO ORGANIZATIONS JOINED IN
A RECEPTION TUESDAY EVENING.
The Veterans Were HOnored GueStS-An
Interesting and Inspiring Program
Was Carried Out.

Most of them who yet survive
are fast approaching the brink of
the river which flows between time
and eternity the heroes in gray
who, in morning Of their lives,
fresh with hope and confident il. a
courage inspired by principle born
Of truth and justice, went forth to
battle for Southern rights; whose
noon-tide dazzled world with it's
kindling glory; whose evening, ush-
cred upon them in the deep gloom
which enshrouded Appomattox, has
been spent and is now being spent
Ill tue work Of building new South
upon the ruins of the old-a new
South, retaining all that was noblest
and sweetest in the old, and yet an
lnseparable part of are united coun-
try which is today leading the
world in material progress and in
all the arts and sciences.
1t is we'll for the future of the
Southland and of the American ma
ton, it is we'll for the valor of
American arms and the glory of
American achievements, that their
deeds shall not be forgot, that their
children have determined that the
memory of the days from 'o1 to os,
and from 'o5 to TO shall ever be
fresh and cherished sweetly. 1t is
due them and due the future; for
there is no brighter page in the his
tory of nations than was writ bv
the struggle of the Southern legions
and the record Of a great PEOPLES
glorious past can but inspire their
children to noble endeavous and
grand achievements.
In the hospitable home of Mr.
Fred. H. Dominick, draped with
the red and white of the Southern
Confederacy, and banked with
palms and ferns and roses kissed
into beauteous bloom by soft South
ern breezes, the Drayton Rutfer
ford Chapter Daughters of the Con,
tederacy and the John M Kinard
Camp Sons of Confederate Veterans
met On Tuesday evening for social
intercourse and to further the great
cause in which they are enlisted
The members ofthe James D. Nance
Camp were honored guests.
This is tn first of a series ot
meetings by which it is hoped tc
lend fresh enthusiasm in the great
work in which the Sons and Dauoh.
tiers have enlisted themselves. It
IS proposed to hold these meetings
monthly or quarterly.
The reception on Tuesday eve.
1'lng was we'll attended. The guests
were cordially received by the mem
bers of the home. At the conclu.
sion of the program which had been
arranged light refreshments were
served, and the whole evening was
spent most pleasantly and most
proitably.
Mr.. Fred II. Dominick cordially
welcomed those present and an
nou ced that Mr.. J. J. McSwain,
OF Greenville, COMMANDMENTS Chief
OF the South Carolina Division u.
5. ", who had been invited to be
present, had found at the last mo.

tor him to attend. Commander
McSwain regretted very much this
inability to attend and expressed

meeting.

perfect liberty of the citizen aud
the State. The civil war was not
a conspiracy Of leaders. 1t was not
a rebellion. 1t was a revolution in
that it was thorough uprising of
the people. 1t was a crisis in which
the people took charge and wrung
the States out of the Union. Con-
stitutional liberty was theirs and
they dared to maintain it by the
arbitrament Of war. I appeal to
every son and de aughter to uphold
the unconqueeru, undefiled priu-
ciples Of the Confederacy.
''No nation rose so white, so fair,
None fell so pure of crime"
Before I close let me make one
appeal to the chivalry and patriot
ism of the young men of the South
1t is to build one more monument
and crown the top with the beauti-
full figure and angelic face Of Wo-
man. The true chivalry and pa
triotism of the manhood Of the
South will not be recorded by the
future historian until we raise this
monument III commenmoration of
the hardships, the loving ministra-
tons and the heroism of the Con-
federate women. Companions in
suffering, they ought to be com.
panions in glory.

COMMANDER KINARD'S ADDRESS.
Mr., John NJ. Kinard, Division
Commander Of the South Carolina
Division of Sons, was introduced
and made an address pleading for
earnest work among the Sons and
Daughters, for loyalty to the cause,
and closing with an appeal for ear
nest effort in the work of the erec-
ton OF a monument to the women
of the South.
Commander Kinard said that this
joint meeting of the Daughters and
Sons had been suggested, he be-
lieved by the Sons, in order that
they might in some measure at least
inbibe the enthusiasm aud activity
that had characterized the Daugh-
ters.
No chapter of the Daughters Of
the Contederacy, no camp OF the
Sons of Veterans, he said, would
amount to more than tue rain bow
after the storm-beautiful, but SOON
vanished-if it had not a distinct
and positive object and pursued that
object persistently and vigorously
We must see to it that there is nc
further perversion of the history OF
the war. Already the school books
our children study have the North
ern setting of history and it now
seems that the last act of recon
struCtiOn may be the distortion OF
history under the ruthless lines OF
the conqueror's pen. We must SEE
to 1t that no surviving Confederate
soldier shall spend the remnant OF
his days in want of the necessities
of life. 1t is a sad reflection upon
the young manhood of this genera
ton that they are SO lax in interest
and allegiance to the blessed cause
for which our fathers fought so
nobly and died SO willingly. Are
we not untrue to the high and noble
heritage of our ancestors if we do
not band ourselves together with
hooks of steel to perpetuate the
valor and heroism of the Confeder
ate soldier and combat the insidious
reflection tat Our war was rebellion
and treason, Our soldiers rebels and
traitors?
Commander Kinard cited the in
cident of the schoolgirl of Louis
vile, KY, thirteen years of age,
who refused to sing Marching
Through Georgia., at the com
mand of her Yankee teacher, and
who in appreciation of her loyalty
