Columbia State: The reunion of
the United Confederate Veterans of
South Carolina will be held In Colum-
bia on the 9Th and 10th OF August.
Columbia Is considered q particularly
convenient and attractive place for
these gatherings and the city considers
1t an honor and a privilege to enter
tain the old soldiers. Judge Robert
Aldrich has accepted the invitation ex-
tended by Mayor Gibbes to be the
chief orator Of the occasion. The full
programme for the two days has not
been arranged as yet, and IL is not de-
cided whether the principal oration
will be delivered at the second meeting
Of the first day or at the first meeting
Of the second day. Details which will
be in charPe of the Sons Of Veterans,
have also not yet been arranged, but
1t Is understood that the order Of the
meetings and the nature OF social feat
ures will be announced shortly. Gen.
B. H league, commanding general of
the South Carolina veterans, is at his
summer home in Saluda, and Is I'm
communication with the mayor, and
with members Of Camp Hampton as to
arrangements for the reunion. These
annual gatherings of the old soldiers
were formerly held In May, but for q
number Of reasons II has been consid-
cred more convenient to have them
during the last of the summer. The
one last year held in Spartan urg In
August was most successful and en-
joyable and II was decided at the time
to hold this reunion for 1911 at about
the same date.
- Columbia Record: II the Red Shirt
reunion, to be held here August and
10, simultaneously with the reunion of
the South Carolina division, United
Confederate veterans, is to be as sue
cessful as its promoters hope II will
be, some such supplemental mode Of
financing the convention as the raising
Of popular subscriptions In the several
counties will have to be resorted to, Is
the opinion Of Mayor Gibbes. At this
time the city finds itself unable to
undertake unaided the entertainment
of conventions, even srch notable con-
ventions as those Of the Confederate
veterans and the surviving Red Shirts
Of '76. The Confederate veterans have
a state APPROPRIATION Of $500, but II is
said that amount will not be adequate
for the proper entertainment Of the
division and more funds, perhaps as
much as $1,000, will have to be pro-
vided, somehow. There is no state aid
for the Red Shirts. The mayors idea
Is that inasmuch as neither Of the re-
unions Is local affair. both being in
fact Of statewide interest, the burden
of financing these gatherings should be
distributed over the whole state, rath-
er than be imposed upon the one local
community of Columbia; more espec-
ially," the mayor points out, because
in fact Columbia, as the capital OF the
state, suffered most, materially and
otherwise, from the War Between the
Sections and the troubles Of the Re-
construction era" Mayor Gibbes says
that Columbia, however, is not for that
reason disposed to stand back or with
hold any evidence Of hospitality. THE
ISSUE" he says. lis one Of means, not
Of will"
