THE ALEXANDER REUNION.
A Guest Writes Of the Enjoyable
Time ut Gathering.

The twentieth annual reunion Of
,he family of James D. Alexander
was celebrated October 27, 1912,
which fell on Sunday this year. The
weather was ideal and all present in
the best Of spirits. The guests be-
gan to arrive about 8 o'clock in the
morning and departed about 4
p. m. At the usual hour for dinner
several of the gentlemen began ar
ranging an improvised table for a
regular picnic spread. Then the
wives and daughters began empty
ing well-flled boxes and baskets of
all. sorts Of delicious eatables, and
soon the table was bountifully spread
and all present partook with appre-
ciative zest.
One honored guest was Mrs. VIM.
GIBSON, OF Georgia, a sister Of Jas.
D.. Alexander. The children OF this
loyal man present were Miss Eliza
beth Alexander, Theodore and w. O..
Alexander, Mrs. Louisa Abbott and
Mrs. S. NJ. Hunsinger. Besides
these there were SO grandchildren.
- Observation-Disclosures. 20 distant
relatives and 60 visitors.
Among the visitors were Ben and
Grover Dean, of Avalon, Ga; Mr..
and Mrs. J. r. Morgan and three chill
drcn, of Pickens; Russell Lawrence,
OF Central; Ralph Lawrence and
Paul Armstrong, Of Richland, and
several Of Mrs. DuBose's children
from near Walhalla.
The descendants Of this loyal and
patriotic family have settled mainly
in the Coneross section, and the ma
iority of them are faithful and pious
Baptists-in fact, they constitute
the strongest element Of humanity in
their domain.
1t was like reading an interesting
book for the writer to watch the
scions Of this noble race vic with
each other in jest, courtesy and ami
mated conversation, which went on
SO smoothly that little cases Of love-
making were carried on covertly, and
local events discussed so absorbingly
that the time for disbanding came
before any one was aware of the
flight Of time.
Thus passed a day long to be re-
membered, with hopes Of a pleasant
n profitable return next year.
Let us congratulate tho family on
the thoughtful way in which thew
have preserved the old home n the

SURVEY PUSHED NORTH.
Alaskan Boundary Line May BE
Marked This Year.

Washington, ID. C.-Since the sum-
mer of 1909 the joint commission
appointed by the United States and
Canadian governments to locate and
mark the boundary line separating
British territory from Alaska has
been actively engaged in this work
pushing the line northward from the
Yukon to Porcupine river by the end
of the 1910 season. Last summer
the field operations were advanced
farther along that part of the 141st
meridian which extends from Porcu-
pine river to the Arctic ocean, and
it is believed that the present year
will witness the completion of this
part of the survey.
Realizing that its well-eQuipped
field organization afforded unusual
facilities in this remote and rather
inaccessible region for gathering
much information not directly con-
nected with the particular work of
locating and marking the boundary
line. the joint commission extended
an invitation, which was readily ac-
cepted, to the geological survey of
Canada and the United States geolog-
ical survey to send biologists to ac-
company the field parties during
1911 and 1912, and to examine the
geology anlong the boundary from
the Yukon to the Arctic.
The most satisfactory arrangement
for making such a geologic examina-
tion in the two summers appeared to
be to assign one of the two sections
of the line to each government, as
otherwise there would have been
much duplication of work and the
observers would be required to
traverse the whole of both sections.
Under the arrangements adopted the
Canadian geologists undertook to
examine the southern or Yukon-Por-
cupine section and the United States
biologists the northern or Porcupine-
Arctic section.
The United States geologists last
year commenced field examinations
in June and carried their work
northward approximately 100 miles
to the headwaters of Firth river
which flows into the Arctic ocean.

ONE SHIP NEARLY SURE.
Sentiment Grows Against the House
Naval Policy.

Washington, d. C.-Alarmed at
the growing strength of the two-bat-

ocratic leaders issued a call for an
other caucus on the naval bill, to be
held Tuesday night. 1t is generally
accepted at least one battleship will
be provided for in view of the firm
attitude of the battleship campaign.
Sulzer, VINO is leading the fight
for two ships, announced he had 81
signatures to his petition that the
caucus release members from the
previous no-battleship pledge. With
the addition of half a dozen more
Sulzer expressed confidence that his
forces would hold balance of power
and the matter be forced into the
open house. In such event he be-
lieves by coalition with republicans
two battleships could be voted into
the bill.
