 Assist in Work.
EXUM MADE CHAIRMAN
 AND IS HARD AT WORK
old Heroes In Birmingham VIII Be Unable to Attend Con feder- ate Reunion Unless They Are
 Given Assistance.

W. l.. Yaneey chapter, Daughters of the Confederacy, has determined to send as Its guests to the Mobile reunion a number of the Confederate veterans of Jefferson county. who would otherwise be unable to defray their own expense. Mrs. J. K. Frazier. president of the chapter, has named a committee of cit- zens. of which Culpepper Exum is chair man, which has been asked to assist in raising the necessary funds to pay for the trip of the old heroes. MT. Exum entered into tine plan with enthusiasm and says the necessary money simply must be raised.
 Mrs. Frazier has received a letter from General Oxford of Camp Hardee, advis- ing her that there are about twenty-five veterans who would go the chapters guest and who will be compelled to re- main at home unless some arrangement Is made.
 Mrs. Frazier has named a committee of representative citizens said MT. Exum yesterday, "and I have no doubt but what they will assist us in this worthy cause. There are many of these old men who will probably attend this reunion for the last time, and it is as little as we of the younger generation can do to see that these men get to take a trip which means much to them.
 ''The people of Birmingham are quick to respond to anything of this kind. When my interview was printed in. Mon days Age Herald outlining our plarAthere was a note from Colonel Kettig at my H. I saw in the paper this morning that you were in trouble and wanted to "bor- row ten dollars. Here 1t is with my best wishes for the good cause.'
 "Other letters have been coming to me which show how quickly any appal for the old soldiers meets a response in Birmingham. Take, for instance. this one from J. E. Dimmick: Enclosed please find check for s2O for the purpose of sending old veterans to the Confederate reunion at Mobile, Ala. I saw your note in the paper tonight and it appealed to me more than anything else, regardless of the fact that I am Yankee and nt'' on the other side FE
 Here is one from T. II. Motion: T approve and commend your proposition to raise a fund with which to pay the expenses of the old soldiers to the Mobile reunion, and herewith hand you a check for ten dollars
 'These are just some samples and I am sure that we will be able to aid the Yancey chapter in giving the old men one more good time"
