u. C.. VS.. WILL MEET

Marion Camp Will Be Represented General Witch
Issues General Orders.

Major General w l.. Witch, COM
handing the division. has issued the
following orders relating to the re-
union.
/. In pursuance of General Order
No. IS. issued from general headquar-
ters at New Orleans, the major gener-
al commanding hereby announces
that the eighteenth annual reunion OF
the United Confederate Veterans will
be held at Birmingham, Ala, on Tues
day. Wednesday and Thursday, June
| 9, 10 and II. 1908. The broad and en-
ergetic character of citizens of this
city, it's wonderful development and
strong southern sentiment, as evil
denced by their persistent and earnest
| desire to welcome the survivors of
the Confederate army as their guests
warrants a glorious and happy reun-
| ion of our comrades, and an earnest
and hOspitable welcome awaits us.
2. Each camp in good standing is
entitled to one delegate for every
twenty members and one additional
for fraction of ten members, also to
the same number of alternates.
AS only camps in good standing are
entitled to representation, if any camp
has not paid its dues at general or d.
vision headquarters. the major gen
eral commanding most earnestly and
urgently appeals to every camp to dc
so, so that this division can maintain
the proud record it has heretofore
borne as second to none in its repre-
santation at these glorious reunions
3. Transportation is at the rate OF

MANY WOODS IN A PIANO

As many kinds of wood are used in
the making of a piano as in the max
ing of q house or an Ocean-going
steamship. Certain woods posses
qualities demanded by piano manu-
facturers. and no substitutes will be
taken.
The sounding board, for instance. is
never made of anything but spruce.
1t is a thin piece-mOre frequently sev-
eral pieces glued together-the whole
thing would hardly make enough kind
ling for fire, if Ratchet were used
on it. But it is the one essential thug
and without it there could be no pia-
no.
It is selected with care. seasoned in
the most painstaking manner, cut and
shaped by experts, and it becomes the
soul and life of the instrument. Had
the spruce used in a sounding board
gone to the pulp mill instead of the
piano factory it would have made
about enough paper for a couple OF
sheets of music.
The pianos frame, the part which
holds the strings and endures the in
cessant strain of several tons. is ECU.
ally of elm Bicycle rims are of the
same wood, and the enormous LOAD
which a thin strip weighing a few
ounces can carry is we'll known.
The visible part of the piano is the
veneer, the thin shell of wood gIuei
over the outside of the frame. The
music would be as fine and the frame
as strong without the veneer. But
it adds beauty, and for that reason \
beautiful wood is selected, and Is
stained. vanished and polished. Il
may be walnut, mahogany, oak, ash
maple, cherry or rosewood. 1t is as
thin as egg shell, but it hides the
heavy poplar planks to which it is
glued. Yellow poplar is nearly always
used for backing of piano veneer.
Maple and cedar are commonly
used for bridges, levers. hammer
shanks, backstOps and other small me
| chanisms, while white pine is. excel
lent for keys. Perhaps not more than
one or two of the states grow all the
kinds of wood used in making one
! good piano.

TENNYSON, THE ENGLISH LAU-
REATE

His thoughts are singing swallows in
the caves,
Or dryads hid within the living flute
No sweeter music ever left the lutte.
1t sounds like summer winds among
the leaves.
To crown him bay with laurel inter
weaYes;
To hear him sing the other bards are
mute;
He haunts the soul with cadences
that suit
The lyric beauty wrapt in summer
ewes;
His English heart ne'er left his native
shore:
His moral strength was as the
strength of ten;
He sang the loves and deeds of En-
ghsh men.
And like the mighty valiant souls of
yOre
He touched the skies and taught the
world to sing
In lofty notes the idylls of a king.

committee sold ice cream and cake
one afternoon and evening and with
the money that they received they
brought vases and tables for the

after the service at night the flowers

afternoon. During the past year the
society had the town council pass an

The chief features were as follows:
Opening salute of twenty-five aerial

and dome with twenty-five mammoth
ruby lights. Nests of fiery CObras

Brilliant white lights Illuminated the
roof and dome with startling effect.

THE CAMPAIGN MUNcHAUsEN

The Ocala Star heard a report on
the streets that Hon. J. n. G. Stock
ton, as paving contractor, had beaten
the city OF Jacksonville out of $50,
OOO," and the Star forthwith proceed
ed 10 denounce the report in bitter
terms. concluding with these words.
The man who started that damna-
bic lie should wear convict stripes and
pay the penalties of his detestable
conduct by digging phosphate or dip
ping tUrpentine for the state"
In the same issue of its weekly edi-
ton. April 18th inst, the Star printed
without any comment at all the fol
lowing:
The report is current that General
Albert Gilchrist is sending out two
sets of pamphlets. one for the wet and
one for the dry voter. We have nOJ
seen them. but the gentleman wh1
has seen them said they hit 'em ago
ing and a-coming."
Now, If the Star had been disposed
TO be really righteous, it would have
appended 10 the report about General
Gilchrist the same comment which z
made upon the rumor about Mr.
Stockton, for the one is as equally de
serving of cenSure and denunciatiOn
as the other.
The falsehood about Gilchrist was
first published by Claude LeWrangle
who was manly enough TO correct II
as soon as his attention was called
10 it. but we fear that Editor Bittin,
ger, engaged as he is in running fOI
the legislature, will never see or hear
or make any correction OF this Sian.
der which be has published about
Gilchrist; and unless Editor Harris of
the Banner, with his usual generosity
makes the correction. the people of
Marion viii be permitted to continue
10 believe the falsehood. For Editor
Bitnnger is a man of high character
and people believe what he saws OF
publishes, whether correct or not. Il
is a pity that he does not have time
10 read and digest his exchanges,
which would often prevent his magk
ing such a serious mistake as the
one of which we are complaining.
If he ever sees this, we wish to as
sure him that there is nothing on
earth which General Gilchrist despis

dealing, a fact which stamps as base

A DEADLY EXPLOSIVE
Or. r. r. Snowden's invention May
ReVoIutionize Modern Warfare

In company with several other gen
tlemen, the editor of the News had
the pleasure on Tuesday morning Of
witnessing a test of the new high ex-
plOsiye, the invention of DR.. r. r.
SnOwden of this city, and which we
have no doubt will bring to that gen
tleman deserved fame and fortune.
The test took place at Col. Bowers
farm, just northeast of the city. A
mammoth stump was selected and 4
hole was bored in the center to 4
depth of about fifteen inches. The
doctor took a few grains of a dark
brown powder, and placed them in a
funnel formed of paper. on ton of
these he placed three or four tinv
walls, filled with a colorless liouid
Long stiff wires pierced the stonners
OF two OF the bottles, and when this
combination was placed in the hole
IN the stump, the wires or rods pro-
truded several inches. A weight was
placed IN such a position that when a
long cord was released by the doc
tor, after all had retired to a safe dis
lance the weight fell on the rods,
causing the walls to be broken, and
allowing the liquid to mix with, the
powder. This caused an instant and
terrible explosion, and though only q
very small quantity of the explosive
was used, it was evident that under
favorable conditions it would create
terrible havoc.
DR.. Snowden is confident that he
can get his invention adopted by the
y. S. government, the explosive being
peculiarly adapted to the uses of mod
ern warfare, as the component parts
could be separated in a shell or
bomb, and the conclusion of the mis-
sile in falling would mix the ingre-
