Confederate Reunion

Vinita Ind. Ter, Aug. 28, 1905
MAJ. f. J.. BARRETT Adjutant Vi
nita Camp. No. 500, U. c. v. My
DEAR MAJoR: Permit me at this
time to acquaint You with the state
of the the deli erations Of the COM
mittee, of which / am chairman, ap-
pointed by the Vinita Commercial
club for the entertainment Of the
Union Confederate Veterans at their
annual reunion originally set for Ju-
ly S-4 and 5 at this place.
So proud were we as town Of the
honor of entertaining our veterans,
said committee, as early as the latter
days Of May we're at work In the mat
ter with view to making those
memorable days in the history of our
town, but by reasons Of the fact it
was postponed by request until after
the Louisville reunion; the commit
tee thought best to postpone it until
cool weather. Some time since the
ndJI6I Was kdlH bnhNh ~ ~ 1--~
committee and active steps were ta-
ken to prepare for the reunion, but
after mature deliberation, we have
concluded that, in as much as quar-
antine is threatened and will in all
probability be in drastic force along
about the time we would designed to
have it, thus having the affect to
keep away large numbers Of our peo-
ple from all over the territory, who
would otherwise likely attend, the
committee came 10 the conclusion
that it would he best to defer the re-
union at this place for this year, with
the sincere regret, but with the hope
that we shall be fortunate enough to
secure it at some future time, when
we hope to be able to honor ourselves,
BY showing honor to urdistinguished
guests to whom so much honor IS
Justly due. Respectfully
JOHN B. TURNER,
Chairman Committee.

sAruRpAY NIGHT ROWS.

r VERY community has its element
- disposed TO lawlessness, and un-
less il is kept sternly In subsection II
becomes a..menace and a reproach TO
that community. There have been dis
turbances in two OF our down State
towns recently that add little to the
reputation for order Of these communi-
ties; and what appears to be needed
badly is a dose Of discipline.
Now the tendency OF commentators
is to make some sort OF politics out Of
such breaches and to play upon the
words negroes and whites. when
this distinction has little meaning. It
is 1nofe to the purpose to say that
there are iaw-abiding men. and men
disposed to deviltry. The latter need
at all times to feel that the arm Of the
law is strong and its punishments
swift and sure.
Nobody worth considering In a
community stops to consider whether
a desperate is white or black; is he a
law-breaker? II he is. then do not pail
late his oftense, do not gloss it over.
ID not get his hail bonds ready on ,he
nope that he will show his gratitude at
the next election. Punish him as tie
law provides, but punish him AS a hu-
man being accountable for his acts.
and not as a white man or colored
man.
The dowp-siste towns on Saturday
nights abound With loafers. Respsct-
able women keep to their homes. while
crowdlng, iost;lng, profanity and some
times violence reigns. The authori-
Uss ostsr;:mss fail to back up the on-
GERS of the law. on the mistaken no
non that lsnisncy is the bes, way out
of trouble.
ohicers should not only be sncour
aged to enforce the law but required
to DO IL. The conditions OF our penm-
suiar tswns on saturday nights arc a
disgrace TO our people.

fession Of teaching and practice work
in all primary grades The years work
was especially hard for the teacher Of
pedagogy and the one year students. Sat
isfactory work was done so far as 1t
was possible usder the conditions inn
posed. Thrty-oie young ladies completed
the course and we're given the board s
certificates at the close Of the school.
The distinguishing features OF the
years work was the introduction Of the
new course of study in language and the
simpllfcation OF the course in arithmetic.
The new work was undertaken by teach
crs and principals with commendable
zeal which promises much for the future.
The semi-monthly conference with
principals were devoted to the discussion
and illustration OF the principles Of in
telligent supervision; the principles Of
education and their application under
varying conditions the principles OF LAM
guage teaching and the general economy
Of education. During the year IL has been
my aim in conferences, in teachers meet

agious and sympathetic in the correc-
tion of bad practices. and prompt in the
commendation Of good practice. and to in

The worst feature OF wilmington's

II HE Evening Journal wishes TO say
Il for The benefit OF its readers that
the .rantings Of the writer of Republic

such a nature that we would treat
them with silence mot with contempt.
since that requires certain interes)
were II not for the fact that the writer,
Mr.. Bach. is seeking through this
paper to attack a gentleman who has
no direct interest in it, Francis Nj.
Walker.
Mr. Walker offended the vencmous
writer Of Republican Glasses by con-
testing with him the nomination for
register Of Wills. although the former
WIS in the field long ere the latter de-
cided to give up his ONCE in the postal
department to enter the lists for the
local office. As Mr. Walker is not con-
nected with this paper. save as attor-
ney for certain interests. it is fair for
us 10 say that he conducted his cam
paign like a man, and was so much in
terested in making clean fight that
he begged this paper not to publish
certain stories that might have proved
damaging to his competitor. We have
always believed that in trying to be
fair he went too far, and that we erred
in not telling the people why Mr.. Bach
should not have been named.
Now the motive for the recent at
tacks by the register Of Wills is ap-
parents, he desires to succeed himself.
and fears that Mr.. walkers popularity
may be too much 10 overcome. But
however that may be. we think that II
is only fair that the public should
know that Mr.. Walker is not respon-
sibie for any part Of The Evening
Journals policy. He is not a stock
holder, not a director, and never was.
His only connection is that in his ca
pacity as an attorney he has represent

paper
What Mr. Bach represents can only
be answered for the time being, save

CaiIfornla Wins.

Versailles ball team, with a number OF
enthusiastic fans. went to California last
Sunday to play the crack team OF Moni-
teau county. Having secured Carl Cross,
the Windsor twirler, with Elmer Padge,t
as catcher, they went into the game
with more or less confidence, the other
positions being filled with Murphy,
Koetting I.utman, Blackwell Schwartz
Richard, 1'routwine. The first three
innings were holly contested neither
Versailles or their competitors being
able to score q ruu up to the fourth.
This spell was at last broken and Cali
fornia took the lead retaining II to the
end of the game. winning by q score Of
10 to 2.
Several errors were made which prov
ed costly to Versailles, but a home run
hit by Keottiug was the feature Of the
game. This was lost by the umpire call
ing him out at home plate. The record
of the home team shows that some very
good work was done but the boys were
unable to break the "hoodoo" that fol
lowed them in the former games.
Cross struck out II men. Richards and
Cross made three 2.base hits, while seven
stolen bases were placed to their credit.
The game proved very satisfactory to the
spectators who gave our boys credit for
playing clean ball and making their
competitors play hard for what they got.
Brownie Clark umpired tile game.
The team goes to Eldon Sunday to
play the team of that city, and a large
number of fans will accompany them,
