THE INSURANCE BULLETIN

Montgomery. June 5.-(srecia1. Wheth- CT or not there is to ne a general re- organization of the Sons of Confederate Veterans at the Memphis reunion, Dr. Thomas M. Owen, chairman of the com mittee for the good of the eonfedera- tiOn, refuses to say. He leaves for Mem phis this evening and will meet the com mittee at the Peabody hotel on Monday at a m,, but does not care to talk of any possible changes that are contem- plated. This committee was apponted at the last reunion.
 There will be nothing done other than for the best interests of the organiza- tion; neither will we take action that is not in line with the approval of the vet erans," said Dr. Owens. We have put in a lot of hard work in going over the various features of the situation and there will be a voluminous report, but it is not at all certain that there will be any clashing or disagreements. can not, of course, discuss the report, but you have a right to say that what is done will be for the best of all and it will be such as to meet the approval of the men who compose the organization of the old heroes of the war"
 Outside the remarks of Dr. Owen or anything he may have said about the report it is well known that the move ment to reorganize the sons is a live wire. Only a few days ago one of the New Orleans camps passed a resolution to the effect that if there was a retreat from the rgidness of the membership ;4 is to make the laws such that sons of men engaged in the Confederate service can get in. For instance, under the pres ent regulations a son of a cabinet off, cer of the southern states could not be- come a member of the sons organiza- ton.
 It is also said that there will be a movement to have the sons meet at times other than the veterans, as complaint has been made that they take from the pleasure of the older ones by too much participation in the festivities. It is thought that all this can be avoided by meeting separately. It is also said that an effort will be made to have the ex- penses of the delegates paid to the re- unions and also to have the dues made high enough to meet the expenses of the subordinate bodies. In other words, the progressives desire to have the sons made as strong for active service in history and 1 patriotic service is possible to make l them.

Drago of Mobile, the man who is to be sheriff of Mobile county, talk ing the place of Frank Cazalas inn peached, is spending the day in Mont gomery, and will likely leave for home Monday.
