Blue and GRAY VETERANS
MEET like BROTHERS
Remarkable Scene at the G. "A. R.
Annual Encampment.
Van SAINT LAUDS SOUTHS SOLDIERS
General Sicksls, Commander Van SAINT and
General Hilary A. Herbert Want Joint
Reunion Of the Blue and Gray.


Atlantlc City, N 1.-The hotels, the
piers and board walks were crowded
with old soldiers and their families
who came to attend the G. A. r. en-.
campment.
Commander Van SAINT and Hilary A.
Herbert OF Alabama, former Secretary
OF the Navy and general in the Con
federate army, were the principal
speakers at large gathering of vet,
Grams on the steeplechase pier. After
a short address by the commander-in.
chief, General Herbert eulogized the
members of the grand army and their
commander. He told how the wearers
OF the blue and the wearers of the
gray were being welded together for
the cause Of the Union, and he urged
a join reunion of the Blue and Gray
veterans.
Commander-in-Chief Van SAINT and
Gen. Daniel E. Sickels both declared
they would work for the proposition,
and the former will bring it up before
the G. A. R. members later. 1t is be.
lieved by many soldiers that this DEM
onstration Of friendly feeling will kill
the agitation against the place of the
statue of Gen. Robert e. Lee in Stat
uary Hall at Washington.
A remarkable scene occurred with
the entrance of General Sickels into
the auditorium AS he swung down
the aisle with pinned-up trouser leg,
giving mute evidence of his heroism,
the veterans arose as one man, and
four of his command lifted him, chair
and all, and placed him on the plat,
form, while the commander-in-chief's
band played Dixie" and the crowd
cheered.
AS General Sickels grasped the
folds of huge silk flag with Comman-
der Van SAINT, General Herbert step
ped up and, laying, one hand upon the
shoulder of the grizled veteran, the
other on the flag, said
IF | had been told when | was in
Antietam that in the years to come l
would stand side by side with Federal
soldiers and grasp the Stars and
Stripes with tnem, would have been
insulted. But l love that old flag
now"
Commander Van SAINT paid tribute
to the Southern veterans, saying that
he was glad to meet them on friendly
terms, and that he had no desire to
meet them again in war He declared
he was proud of the fact that no
American army ever surrendered to
anything but another American army,
and repeated that there was no longer
a North and South, but that we were
all one great American people.
Perhaps the largest host from
distance to attend the encampment is
the st. Cloud, Fla, veterans, who
came with their own band. The com
mander is G. D. Degraw.

WANTS NO M0DERNIzED BIBLE
King James Version the Best of All,
Says Writer In Success
Magazine.

We are just old-fashioned enough to
take no stock in the modernized Bible
which is shortly to appear, "couched
In everyday language, with obsolete
words and phrases eliminated" The
King James Bible has done more to
preserve the good old Saxon words
and style, which are the best English
literature has produced, than anything
else. Instead of a movement to get
us further away from that vigorous,
simple. classic style, and in the inter
est Of establishing the finest literary

Letters TO the Leader
Statement Unnecessary.

Bluefield, Sept o.
The Daily Telegraph is very I'M
happy. Its former friends cand allies,
the saloon people, threaten to vote
the Democratic ticket, and unless It
can persuade the Democratic candi-
dates to say something abusive Of this
large class of voters and drive them
away, it knows that it's game of polit-
ical expediency is likely to prove n
boomerang. The liquor people are
sore on the Republican machine in
this county For years they were
held up-Democrats and Republicans
alike-and forced to contribute TO the
campaign fund of the Republican par
~ and Messrs Baker and Cohen can
give expert testimony as to what hap
pened when they declined to be bled.
The saloon people felt that as long
as they furnished the "sinews of
war to elect the Republican candi.
dates they were entitled to consider
alton at the hands OF the party. They
know the Democratic party position
on the license question and they open
ly fought the Democratic candidate
the last election. But when. for
eXpediencys sake, the machine decid
ed to turn Mercer dry, they natur-
ally felt resentment, and many OF
them have declared their purpose to
vote for candidates who are honestly
dry as against candidates who are
dry when they believe that no other
policy can win. No statement is nee
essary from the Democratic nominees
They are too we'll known to the peo.
pie OF Mercer county to make q state.
ment necessary. The machine has nc
power to arbitrarily place them in a
wet column, as It did certain of
the Republican candidates in the pri
mary. The Democrats, we trust. will
politely decline to abuse any part OF
the electorate. but pursue the even
tenor OF their way, and no voter will
have any fear that they will not faith
fully and conscientiously live up h
the promises Of their platform.
