 The commander -in-chef has issued a strong appeal to the organized sons everywhere to assist him in every way possible in making this reunion success full, and it is incumbent upon the Ala bama division to take active interest in the reunion by reason of the fact that it is held within the borders of our own fair state and because it's success means much to Alabama from a standpoint of patriotic uplift and in many other respects. It will indeed, be a great gathering and will mark a very important era in the hitsory of our organization, in fact the future, whatever it may be, concerning the II. s. c. V. depends in a very large degree upon results of the forthcoming general reunion.
 The several members of the staff of the division commander are expected to be in attendance upon the reunion and are requested to report for duty as soon as possible after arrival in the city, and the importance of appearing in uniform is again impressed upon comrades.
 Let each comrade interested in our work endeavor to revive inactive camps and assist in organizing new caps.
 The brigade commanders and camp or ficers and all others in official authority are requested to give publicity to this order and to use every available means collectively and individually for the de- velopment and upbuilding of the proper patriotic interest in the direction of making this the thirteenth annual Con federation reunion the greatest that has ever been held.

TEXAS IS SAFE FOR
 BRYAN AND BAILEY

Dallas, Tex, May 5.-Democratic county conventions held throughout the state to- day universally instructed for Bryan for President, insuring Texas for him. AL though Senator Bailey's majority for dele gate at large in the primaries held last Saturday is shown by approximately complete returns to be in the neighbor- hood of only 10000 out of total vote of 220,O00, a very considerable majority of the county conventions adopted resou- tions and appointed delegates favorable to him. In many of them they instructed for him for vice president. In a number of other counties, notably Dallas, reso- lutions were adopted condemnatory of Senator Baley's actions and demanding that the legislature shall pass laws for bidding public officers to serve or repre- sent corporations.

CAMP PAIGN WILL
 BE VERY COSTLY
Candidates for Governor In
 Georgia Must Dig Up
INTEREST IN CONVENTION
Ninth District Meeting Will Be Held To Protest Against New Rule Pro- vding For Nominations By
 Popular Vote.

Atlanta, May 5.-(Special.)-I is not un- likely that estimates of the cost of the campaign to the respective candidates for state offices may have to be revised, if things keep up as they are going. For instance. it is estimated that advertising the list of the Fulton county Joe Brown club in the six largest Georgia dailies cost MT. Brown at least s25oo. and 1t is likely there is more advertising yet to be done.
 Then, considering the length of the cam paign, probably more campaign literature is being sent out than was ever before known. It came pretty near to keeping a couple of clerks in the Atlanta postoffice busy handling the documents sent out by political headquarters.
 As 1t was two years ago, the complexion of the state today depends very much on the extent of the partisanship of the man who is expressing the opinion. Both the Brown men and the Smith men are claim ing practically everything in sight. and conservative opinions are at a premium. The best to be had makes the race an exceedingly close one, with the result much in doubt.

To Test Rail Mill.

The men employed in the operating de- partment of the rail mill at the steel plant received orders to report for work Wednesday morning for the purpose of testing the new rail mill. The rail mill as completed is the most modern and up-to-date in the country as every late device or invention to increase it's effi- cency has been installed. The new re- heating furnaces will be used to heat the billets instead of the soaking pits which are undergoing repairs. Every thing points to a successful trial of the mill as many steel workers, some of whom have worked in the steel plants of Pitts burg, Chicago and other points, say that in point of equipment and appliances the mill has no superior. The test will continue some time

Fulton County Situation.

So far as Fulton county is concerned there can scarcely be said to be doubt that it will give Brown a good majority, though, of course, the Smith forces are claiming it. But if the situation in Full ton is anything like an index of the way things stand in the state, it might be said MT. Browns election is practically assured. But the difficulty is in ascer- tain whether Fulton conditions are really typical Reports from South Georgia as we'll as from North Georgia would make it appear that they are much the same in those sections of the state, and yet wherever Governor Smith goes he is en- Enthusiastically received, his followers rally round him, and there seems to be some foundation at least for a "whoop- em-up' political story.
 It is true, however that the governor finds more of the opposition in his aud- fences now than he did two years ago, and all reports indicate that the enthus- iasm is not of the same spontaneous sort it was then, but is rather of the made-to- order kind.

Return of Camp Muster Rolls.

Heretofore many camps have been all lowed to participate in the convention, in cases where muster rolls have been received after the date prescribed by the constitution, which provision sets forth that all camp dues must be received by the commander-in-chief at least 10 days prior to the reunion date. AS the reunion is to be held on June, g. 10 and H. the last day, therefore, upon which dues can and will be received by the commander in-ehlef is May 29.
