 New Orleans, La., May IS, 1911. Gen. George w Gordon, general com manding United Confederate Veterans Memphis, Tenn:
 In presenting a brief summary of matters conn nected with my office for the past 12 months, I take occasion to express again my great satisfaction al the promising condition of affairs While the dues paid by camps are nec- essarily reduced in aiNount, there has not been that pronounced decline which l feared. Then, the payments are in the main made with such cheerfulness that one canont but feel proud and encour- aged.
 New Camps
 After the field has been so often gone over to form camps, it seems impos- sible to believe that there are yet sections of the country where there are left enough Confederates to or ganize camp of the United Confed- crate Veterans. Yet such is the case, and during the interval since our last reunion 25 charters have been issued as follows: Georgia Heading, as on the occasion when I made my last report), 8; Texas, 5; Oklahoma, 3; Mississippi, Florida and Arkansas. each, 2; North Carolina, Tennessee and Missouri, each 1.
 While there are number of camps which have died from simple lack of material to keep them alive, others in dormant state have been revived and there is to be noted only a slight de- crease In the total now on the roster, as will be seen from the following table:

Summary of Camps By Departments
Total Camps Chartered

Totals S............. 11S3 1196 As per last report .1733 rms year 25
  Total number chartered .1758 One cause for this excellent show ing Is that officers seem more inter- ested in the grand work. This is the case in all parts of our territory; and, where all are putting forth such stren- uous efforts, 1t seems almost inviduous to select any name for particular men- tion. The efforts of one man, however, stand out so conspicuous and his la- bors have been eXerted for SD many years and conducted so unremittingly, efficiently and zealously that 1t would be unjust not to mention him. As com mander of his camp, as brigadier geu- eral. and as major general of the Geor- gia division, Gen. John H. Martin, has set all an example that is worthy of the highest commendation and most faithful emulation. He ever studies those things that make for the good of the association and his division has or ganized more new camps and had more "slumbe bering camps" revived than any other; and they pay moro promptly and regularly.

All have been bound in attractive grey cloth, and are an addition to any library, public or private. There are five volumes and are offered for sale at $250 per volume. and those who are so fortunate as to secure a set should be well satisfied, as the edition Is very limited, and 1t Is impossible to republish.

rests" he said.

he, took place in an amateur game
on a town lot at Charleroi. The teams
were playing on a wet field and an
outfielder who wore derby hat went
after high fly. He came to little
pond and taking his eye of the ball
made a jump to cross It. AS he was

head, went through the crown of his
hat and lodged there. The base run
