ID FORM NEW CAMP
 SONS OF VETERANS
Spontaneous Movement Starts
 Among Young Men
TO HOLD MEETING MONDAY
Present Plans Are To Call New Organ ization Camp Morgan-Pettus In Honor of Alabama's Fa-
 nous Senators.

In remarkably spontaneous movement the young men of the city have taken active steps towards the organization veterans.
 Recognizing the great task of enter taining the reunion in June, the young business men of the city are uniting pledging themselves to help in the work. The undertaking is one of great im- portance meaning new life in the prepara- tion for the reunion.
 Getting out of the rut into which Camp Clayton had fallen, many of the old members becoming dissatisfied with the way things were being run and the uses to which the offices were being put, a large number have withdrawn and joined by scores of other young men, they have decided to perfect a real live organiza- tion. The committees on the ball, on reunion have withdrawn from Camp Clay ton almost bodily, so that the working committees on the social features of the reunion will not be intefered with. The greatest result of the movement will be shaking off of a so-called objection able element which it is said has been putting clogs in the wheels of reunion preparations.
 The meeting for organization will be held Monday afternoon at 5:30 o'clock in the Commercial club rooms. It is probable that the new camp will be called Camp Morgan-Pettus in honor of the two noted senators who had such great Confederate records There is an in- creasing sentiment to elect Rufus N. Rhodes, who was first commander of Camp Clayton, to the leadership of the Few camp
 The call for the organization of the new camp was circulated yesterday morn ing by John Yeatman, Robert Jemison and Hill Ferguson and they met with wonderful encouragement Over 100 sig natures were secured in few hours. The membership is open to sons and grandsons of Confederate veterans. Here is the call:
