The VETERANS and
DAUGHTERS PICNIC.
Delightful Day Spent In Renewing
Pleasures OF the 0lden Days.
Election OF Officers.

The annual meeting and picnic of
|Thos. Ruffin Camp, Confederate Veter-
ans, of Wayne county, was held near
the home of Mr.. Haywood Ham, in
the beautiful grove and wood adjacent,

An abundance of everything good

dred people present. A much larger
number of veterans were present than
at any gathering we have had in ten
years. The roll was called by the Ad-
jutant and the deaths during the past
year noted. 8
Since our last meeting 81 "have crossed
over the river to rest under the a
of the trees.' But a few years more and
there will be none left of the Die boys,
and during the few ear left to them,
the INDECENT ones should be cared for
by the. younger generation, for the pros
perity we are now enjoying is wholly
due to the old fellows, who, after hav-
ing served in the army for four years,
returned to homes devastated by an
invading army, and who, by their eff
forts brought about the present condi-
ton OF affains.
The annual meeting of the camp was
held in the morning, graced by the
presence of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. Election Of officers for the
ensuing year resulted as follows:
Commander, T w Slocumb; lieuten-
ent-commander, DR. J B Kenneday;
major, w 6 Hollowell; adjutant, A B
Hollowell; surgeon, DR. w III III Cobb;
quarter-master, R P Howell; chaplain,
Rev J F Hill.
The following we're presented by the
Daughters of the Confederacy, Miss Sue
Collier, president, with crosses Of hon.
Or; Nick Carter, C c Dali, j 7 Dees. r
C Fields, r w Cough, w II Higgins,

ton and I Talton.
The thanks of the camp by a rising
vote was rendered Mr.. Haywood Ham,
for the use of the grounds and his
work and money contributed to the
success of the picnic.
On motion of Col. j. H. Hill the place
was named "Camp Ham, in honor of
Mr.. Haywood Ham who has kindly
given the use Of the grounds to the vet
Grams for their annual gatherings.
We have attended many picnics. but
we unhesitatingly pronounce this one
the most enjoyable one ever held in
Wayne County.
We cannot close this account without
speaking of the good order preserved
by those present. Not a man was un-
der the influence Of liquor, n the
ladies, we'll, no community can boast
of a p%rettier and more intelligent gath
ering than was present on this occasion.
none more graceful as was evidenced
both in their department on the ground
as well as the dances in which with the
old vets to the music furnished by the
string band present, they engaged in the
old style cotilion and Virginia reel.
It was decided to have the meeting OF
the camp at the same place next yea,
and we hope to have ever a larger
crowd present.

new DEMOCRATIC
SENATORS.
Important Committee Vacancies on
the Minority Side.
Special to THE ARGUS.

Special TO IHE ARGUE.
Washington, D. c. August 9-The
election of Joseph F. Johnston to sue
coed Senator Pettus of Alabama is an
interesting addition to the small COM
pany of Democratic senators who next
December will find seats on the min
eority side. The newcomers, besides
Senator Johnston, will be John III.
Bankhead, succeeding John T. Nor
gan of Alabama; Jefferson Davis, uc-
>ceeding James H. Berry of Arkansas;
Robert L. Taylor, succeeding Edward
w. Carmack Of Tennessee, and Thorn
as H. Paynter, succeeding Joseph c.. S,
Blackburn of Kentucky. John Sharp
Williams, recently chosen at the Miss
issippi primary to succeed Senator
Money, will not take his seat until
later.
Besides those succeeded by Demo-
Gratis there were four other Democrats,
Clark of Montana, Gearin of Oregon,
Dubois of Idaho and Patterson Of
Colorado, who were succeeded by Re-
publicans.
Bankhead of Alabama is b only
new Democratic senator to take his
seat in the Sixtieth Congress who
comes straight from the House to the
SENATE. Senator Johnston comes from
private life, though he is not without
experience as a public servant, having
been governor of ma from 1896
to 1900. He is a lawyer by profession,
but is better known as a financier. He
was the first president of the Sloss
Iron and Steel Company and is credit
ed with having accumulated a large
fortune in late years.
Senator Davis was last in the public
service as governor of Arkansas.
Senator Paynter comes from the
Kentucky circuit bench, to which he
was elected after having served three
terms in the House. Senator Taylor
served one term in the House nearly a
quarter of a century ago and subse-
~quentlv was three times governor of
Tennessee.
The deaths Of Senators Morgan and
Pettus and the retirement of Senators
Berry, Blarkburn and Carmack, lead
ing Of veteran Democrats, leave i'm
portant committe vacancies on the
minority side. The more important of
these committee places, according to
ancient usage, will be left to the pick
of the holdover senators on on the
minority side.
The more important committee posi-
SO-r Joft 1- @I4 -bo n ~
succeeded in the Sixtieth Congress by
Democrats are as follows:
By Morgan-Foreign Relations, In
dian Affairs and Interoceanic Canals.
By Pettus-Judiciary, Military AT
fairs and Privileges and Elections.
BY Black burn-Judiciary, District Of
Columbia and Census.
By Carmack-Interoceanic Canals,
Philippines and Interstate Commerce,
BY Berry-Commerce, Appropria'
ations.
The foul Democrats who were sue.
ceeded by Republicans were on the
following important committees:
Clark of Montana-Foreign Relation:
and Library.
Gearin-District Of Columbia.
Dubois-Distriet OF Columbia. Phil
ippines and Privileges and Elections
Patterson-Judiciary, immigration
and Territories.
These are the most desirable com
mittee places left vacant, besides then
being a number of minor committee
assignments which will be available t.
the minority.

About sixteen tons of these pits
