1t was our intention to reach Linwood
that night, but the trains do not make
connection, and were delayed on account
of the reunion OF old soldiers. Our escort
was so disappointed that We did not reach

himself, and madc the remark that it WAS
IL pity all the Old soldiers hadn't died in
the war.
We were entertained for awhile that
night by the Salvation Army singing and
playing in front of our hotel. The next
mornings we left Spaltanburg about ten
o'clock and reached Kings Mountain at
twelve, and were driven out to IinwO0d, 81
distance of five miles. We found the place
crowded with boardcrs-about 150-most
of them attending the Teachers Institute,
which lasted for two weeks. Instead of
