trymen recently had met deaths by vio-
lence and declared that their fate was
the result of failure to comply with

| have no controversy with Colonel
Brailsford for we all love him too we'll
toquarrel with him.
I have just returned from Charleston,
where had an interview with Col. Il.
J. Morris, chairman on entertainment
at the reunion. On previous occasions
they slept US on cots in the hospitals
and under the cotton sheds, because
they believed that we preferred 1t, out
from experience they find that they
can entertain US cheaper at the board
ing houses and with private families ID
the city, so the people have generously
contributed their money to pay the
bills at the boarding houses. Inc pur-
pose of Charleston people is to arrange
to pay the expenses of the soldiers who
cannot pay their own way. We want
to make up a company of this class TO
be entertained by the city as their spe-
cial guest. We have arranged Tor
twenty to be entertained free OF cost at
one home, where we can march them
direct from the depot to their lodging.
Colonel Morris will make the assign
ment and notify me by Saturday so
there will be 40 confusion when we get
there. We hope to be able to buy tick
cts also for those twenty veterans above
referred to.
The train will likely leave Manning
Tuesday morning 10 O'Clock 18th of
May. We do hope we will have a large
crowd at the meeting on Saturday and
that our friends will also go to the city
with us in our special car.

Cali for Meeting of Sons of Veterans.

I am requested by Mr.. John J. Me-
Swain of Greenville, State Com
mander OF the Sons of Confederate
Veterans, to call together our county
camp and insist that we be properly
represented at the approaching State
reunion of Confederate Veterans in
Charleston on the 18th, 18th and 18th
Of this month.
Heretofore have made no call for
our camp of Sons of Veterans to
meet, because I did not think we
would take part in the reunion. 1t
now looks as if the Sons of Veterans
will be given a place in the parade.
1t will inevitably result that we as
Sons of the Confederates, will take a
prominent part in these reunions, as
the old veterans are dying OF rap
idly and it will fall to US to keep up
the reunions and keep bright the
memories of the Confederate dead.
I therefore call upon all members
of our local camp to meet with the
veterans in the court house next Sat
urday, the 14tb, to arrange for our
being properly represented IN Char
lesion. shall not be able to be with
you in Charleston on account OF at
tending the State convention, which
meets in Columbia on the 18th in
slant, but hope that every son of
veteran who can attend will go to
the reunion.
The round trip railroad fare from
Manning will be only one dollar, with
a limit of several days.

Co. Commander Sons Of Veterans.

Carnival Of Fun.

Columbia is preparing for a spring
carnival which will exceed in attrac-
tiveness anything before attempted at
this time Of year by the capital city.
The chamber of commerce is back OF
the undertaking. and has received as
surance from q, number Of towns IN the
State, which indicate that the attend
ance will be as large as the crowds
which gather in Columbia fair week.
The day attractions on the streets will
be by one of the best carnival shows that
could be obtained, and the great night
attractions will be the firewords-the
fall of Pompeii-by the Pain company.
presenting ballet of 800 people. .
But the great feature of the week Will
be the floral parade Thursday after
noon, May 26th. There will be two
miles of vehicles gaily decorated, the
procession being led by the king and
queen in state. The coronation will
take place at the State capitol just be-
fore the gorgeous caravan proceeds
up Main street. This feature alone will
attract many people to Columbia, for
the most beautiful feature OF reunion
week last year was the floral parade.
Thursday night there will be a grand
ball, which will equal in pomp and cir
cumstance the State balls of fair weeks.
Indeed it is proposed to make the Fun
Flower carnival an annual fete,. and the
bail viii be as much of a feature as the
State ball is fair week.
The chamber OF commerce has Sc
cured reduced rates on railroads, and
mas procured two of the best bands in
the State. There will be a grand tour
ament Wednesday, and knights from
all over the State will participate for
the prizes in gold, Aggregating $50,
and for the silver cup for horseman-
ship.
Another feature which will draw
many people to Columbia is the gather
ing of the Elks. There will be a meet
ing of all The lodges in the State, and a
number of other secret orders are pre-
pairing for a like celebration.
Columbia is prettiest just at this time
of year, and the people of that city
think that spring floral carnival is
just the proper thing to give pleasure
to the people of the State at a big
spring iollifcation.

PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION.

The Ogden educational move
ment has brought about quite a
discussion as to the motives
prompting some Northern phil
anthropists. Some think it is to
Northernize the South, others, to
prepare the negro for social and
political equality, and others
still, regard the movement with
such distrust that they look upon
the Ogdenites as Greeks bearing
gifts, and are ready to desye
them and their fair promises
back from whence they came.
There are however, many en-
inent men in the South, such as
Governors Heyward of South
Carolina, Aycock of North
Carolina, Professors D. B. John
son Of Winthrop, Snyder Of Wof-
ford, Superintendent of Educa-
ton Martin and many others in
this and other States who do not
entertain these alarming views,
but on the contrary regard the
Ogdenites with such great favor
that they are giving them every
encouragement: and look upon
them as benefactorS for our peo-
pie. The educational progress
Of the South needs stimulating,
but whether it can be properly
stimulated by having injected
theories repugnant to Southern
traditions is a matter for those
entrusted with our educational
