 GRATEFUL FOR AID Veterans Will Go in Special Car and Tally-ho Has Been Provided In Mobile for Those of Ad-
 vanced Years

Chairman Culpepper Exum of the spe- cial committee appointed by Yancey chap ter, U. D. C., to assist in raising funds to send deserving Confederate veterans to the Mobile reunion has made his final report and the result assures every de- serving veteran trip to Mobile
 Yancey chapter believed that no better project could be undertaken than to raise money to send some of the old heroes to Mobile whose financial condition would otherwise prevent them from renewing acquaintances with their old comrades. Members of the chapter express them selves as deeply grateful to MT. Exum and members of his committee for the assistance given.
 The contributions came from large number of men and women. and the amounts ranged fl Iom s1 to s20.
 Mrs. J. E. Frazier, president of Yancey chapter, said yesterday:
 By this means we have been enabled to do a great work. Our committee and the committe from Camp Hardee are in vestigating every case. and we feel safe in saying that we have funds enough on hand to send every deserving veteran.
 Capt. P. Sid Jones of the Louisville and Nashville has arranged a special car for us so that our party of old he- roes will all go together. In Mobile we have hired tally-ho which will be in the parade, and in this we will carry Bir mingham veterans who are over 80 years of age. There are about 15 of these, and we wanted to see that they were not compelled to walk along the line of march at their advanced age"
 Officers of Yancy chapter have writ ten the following letter to MT. Exum:
