The minutes of the last meeting
were confirmed with the proviso that

A committee of ladies of Dickson
Chapter, No. 81, U. d. c., was present
and read a strong letter of protest
against this camp recommending that
pension be granted to Scott H. Myers.
Resolution for reinstating members
by General H. w. Long was read,
and ordered embodied in the proceed
ings of the camp, which is as follows:
Whereas, section of article 8 of
our constitution provides and directs
that every member who is one year
in arrears of dues shall be notified by
the treasurer of the same, and if pay
ment is not made within thirty days,
at the next regular meeting after the
expiration of such time the same
shall be referred to the executive
or excuse why such dues are not paid,
and make investigation thereof and
report to this camp their recommen-
dalton that the member in default be
suspended, or that his dues be remit
ted in whole or in part, or that he be
given further time for payment. Such
recommendation shall be acted upon
by the camp without debate, and the
same adopted, modified or rejected"
"And, whereas, the requirements
of the foregoing action has not been
complied with since the February
meeting of the camp in 1907;
"And, whereas, number of mem
bers of the camp, dropped from the
roll of membership, claim that they
were not notified of their arrearage
of dues, and feel offended at being
thus dropped;
And, whereas, the list of pension
ers of Marion county exceeds the list
of the membership of our camp;
therefore, be it resolved:
Il. That in the future the spirit
and letter of the provisions and re-
quirements of said section 4 of arti-
Gle s of our constitution will be en-
forced. -
50. That all members of the camp
who have been dropped from the roll
for non-payment of dues since Feb
ruary z, 1907, are hereby restored to
membership of the camp, and that as
soon as the adjutant, Comrade J. H.
Livingston, can procure the treasu-
rer's. book containing the names of
all members dropped from the roll of
membership as aforesaid, that he is
hereby authorized to call to his aid
such assistance as he may desire, and
make complete list of the names of
all members who have been dropped
from the roll of membership as afore-
said, and submit the same to the
camp at it's next regular meeting
IS. That the adjutant is hereby
required to make out a complete list
of all members of the camp who have
died since February z, 1907, together,
if possible, with the date of death,
the company and regiment to which
each belonged, so as to have their
names enrolled with the silent dead
of our historic book.
"a. That all members in arrears
of dues that may pay at their earliest
convenience the sum of so cents
each, shall be clear upon our books
for dues to January 1, 1872
So. That all veterans in the coun-
ty who are eligible for membership
in our camp are hereby earnestly re-
quested to put in their application for
membership, whether they can attend
meetings regularly or not. Our con-
stitution defines the members of
camps into two classes, to-wit: Mem
bers in good standing, which includes
those whose dues have been RENTED
by the camp; Active members, which
includes those who have paid their
dues. The basis of representation
in the brigade and division reunions
is based upon the number of mem
bers in good standing and not upon
the number of active members of
