NEE TING OF CAMP WAS
HELD in MORNING
Veterans Are Addressed
By Dr.. Christie
DISCUSSED TRIP TO RICHMOND
Camp Sumter Has Enjoyable Meeting
Friday MOrning---COngratuIa-
lions Are Extended to
Commander Davenport.

A special meeting of Camp Sumter
GAP, L. c. V. was held at the court
house Tuesday morning, at which the
veterans completed plans for their
participation in the memorial exer-
cises, and also discussed informally
the trip to Richmond in May.
A half hundred of the veterans were
present, Camp Commander II. T.
Davenport presiding.
The exercises were opened with
prayer by Rev. Robert l.. Bivins, of
Furlow Lawn church, after which the
camp was favored with an interesting
address by Rev. l.. h. Christie.
DIR. Christie, who is assisting with a
series of meetings here, is the honored
son Of a hero of the Lost Cause, and his
theme, treating of the Confederate
soldier as a hero in war and none the
less brave in defeat. aroused the great
est enthusiasm.
The address struck a~responsive
chord in the breast of each of the griz-
zled veterans and DIR. Christie was
thanked sincerely for his kind words in
their behalf.
The camp then turned to business
and discussed the trip to Richmond in
May. Quite a large number of veter-
ans and citizens will go, although de-
tails are not completed. A special car
will be given them if the required
number attend.
happy coincidence of Yesterdays
meeting was the fact it was the birthday
anniversary Of the camps genial and
popular commander who, upon being
pressed by inquiry, pleaded guilty to
sixty -four years. And honored ones
they are indeed.
AS a merlted compliment to Com
mander Davenport, Captain John A.
Cobb presented the following resolu-
ton, which was adopted unanimously
and enthusiastically by the camp.
Resolved: That we extend our
most hearty congratulations to our hon
ored commander upon this, the ami
versary of his natal day, and wish for
him many happy and healthy returns
of the day.

Members Worried Over Mileage

Heretofore 1t has been the custom
for the members of the legislature So
draw their mileage the second day of
the session. This gives them little
pocket spending money, which is quite
convenient BUT the members were
positively startled this year to be in
formed that they could not under the
code draw their mileage until the end
of the session. To meet this emer-
gency bill has been introduced in
the house appropriafing $3.50 to each
member as a contingent fund. 1t is
quite likely this bin will pass the
house, but its chances in the senate
are not very good. This is far more
than their mileage would have
amounted to if they could have OBJ
tanned it Immediately and it does not
seem good politics for the members to
come in and pay themselves in adj
vance of their services. OF course the
first bill passed by the legislature APP
propriated $150,000 for legislative ex-
penses. That was passed the second
day of the session and consequently
the $3.50 is already available if
they can get that bill through, but it
has to run the gauntlet of the COM
mittee on legislative expenses in each
house and it looks a good deal like
breakers ahead. l presume the code
will be amended SO that hereafter the
mileage can be secured the first day
OF the session, but this year they will

The Presbyterian Ministerlai Relief.

Louisville, KY, May 15.-The ex.
eoutive committee of ministerial
education and relief of the Presby.
terian church in the United States
(Southern Presbyterian ohurch)
issued its annual statement to be
presented to the Gen sral Assembly
Of the church, which meets in Birm.
ingham to-day.
1t says: "Some time ago Hugh T..
lnman, of Atlanta, promised to give
100000 to the fund of ministerial
relief for aged ministers and the
widows and orphans of deceased
ministers on the condition that $685.
600 be raised by the whole assembly.
All this money has now been
raised with the exception of $4,000
and lnman has paid $4,000 of the
amount promised. This now gives
an endowment of 100000 with a
sufficient amount pledged to make
the total $25O,000
"Altogether S253,0O0 has been
handled during the year by the com :
mittee and all records in the history
of the church being broken"
The committee reports that proba-

Chicago, May 16.-Six reasons
why he killed himself were given by
Beauford L. Leeds, a guest of the
Warner Hotel, who was found dead
in his room Monday night, having
committed suicide by taking strycl.
nine. The reasons were az follows

partly paralyzed for the past ten
years.
"4-My right hand has been ruined
