MARTIAL DISPLAY.

The reunion of old Confederates
was held at Dark's Mill today and
there was large number of old sol

Lee was received with great enthusi-
asm by the assembled champions OF
the noble cause.
The reunion was held in magnif-
cent grove on the farm Of Judge w. 0.
Gordon, where an excellent barbecue
was served at noon. Judge Gordon
was not present at the opening of the
reunion, although he arrived about
III O'Clock from Columbia, where he
had been in the morning to relinquish
the office of County Judge.
The martial display stirred the spir-
its of the old heroes who had march
ed under the banners of the Confed-

viewing old war stories that had been
almost forgotten by all save those
who participated in the stirring
scenes of the early sixties. 1t was a
very enjoyable occasion for all CON
oerned.
