CONFEDERATE REUNION.
Arrangements Being Made for Hand
ling Visitors TO Reunion at Ma
con May 80.

Macon, Ga, March 21.-Temporary
improvements in its local facilities
for handling passengers, involving an
expenditure of more than $4,000,
will be made by the Southern railway
to provide for the comfort and con-
venience of the great crowds that it
will bring to Macon to attend the
twenty-second annual reunion of the
United Confederate Veterans, to be
held in this city May I, s and 9. The
improvements will include new bag
gage rooms. extension of platforms
and enlargement Of ticket offices, pub
lie comfort buildings, and parking
space for 60 Pullman cars with COM
plete arrangements for light, water
and sanitation, thus furnishing a sub
stantial addition to the hotel facili-
ties of Macon. The location Of these
cars will be in two blocks Of the CEN
tre of the city and occupants can
reach them without crossing any
tracks. A large number Of parties
have already arranged to live in their
cars while at Macon. The Southern's
passenger station is within one block
of Central City park, in which the
Veterans camp will be located.
Arrangements have already been
made by the Southern to run a large
number of special trains to Macon
from various points throughout the
South and it is expected that a num-
ber of others will be arranged. Two
additional trains each way per day
between Atlanta and Macon will be
operated May 6, Z, s, and 9, which,
with the various special trains will
allow passengers reaching Atlanta at
anv hour to secure immediate con-
nection to Macon.
In order to handle the reunion
trains with the utmost dispatch, the
Southern will have a strong organ
ization on the ground and every de-
tail of service will be given the most
minute attention.

UNDERWOOD HIMSELF
GIVES STORY OF HIS LIFE
To Save Mothers Life Family Moved
to Minnesota When Oscar Was
Only Three Years Old.

Comment upon the following docu-
ment is superfiuous. In the first one,
Senator Bankhead, if Alabama, sub
mits to the Constitution Oscar Under
woods own story Of his life. In the
second, the unadorned narrative Of
the Alabama statesman explodes every
petty charge of "sectionalism" made
against his ancestry and tells a life
story emitting him to rank among the
first of Americans.
Following is Senator Bankh@ad's
letter:
'In Interest Of Truth"
Editor Constitution: I am sending
you a statement prepared by Mr.. I'm
derwood himself touching certain
newspaper misrepresentation that
have appeared concerning him.
I do not send this statement with
the view of having you publish it in
full. Indeed, I do not know that it
will be of any service to you at ALL
but l thought it was we'll enough to
have the facts before you, and you
can use your own judgment and dis
cretion as to whether anything con-
tanned in this statement will be use
full to you in refuting misrepresenta-
tions.
It is not Mr.. Underwoods habit to
attempt to correct a newspaper state
ment, but he thinks perhaps in the
interest of truth that some of the
facts contained in this statement
might we'll be put before the people
of Georgia. For instance, you will
see that his father was arrested early
in the war and imprisoned on account
Of being a Southern sympathizer, and
kept in prison until he accepted a pa
role pIedging him not to take up arms
against the United States. His two
uncles were Confederate soldiers, as
YOU will see, etc. am simply send
ing this statement for your informa-
ton. Sincerely yours,
J. H. Bankhead,
Chairman.

Why They Left South.

When Oscar w. Underwood was 8
wears old, in the fall of 1865, his
mother had a number of hemorrhages.
The doctors, fearing tuberculosis, ad-
vised his father to take her to a dry
climate, and they moved to st. Paul.
Mimi, when it was a frontier country
and there was only ten miles OF rail-
road in the State. His father lived
there until 1875, when he returned to
Kentucky and brought Oscar W. Un-
dervood back with him and placed
him in school in Louisville, where his
father established the family home,
Oscar w. Underwood remained there
and went to school until 1881, when
he was sent to the University of Vlr-
ginia and graduated there in law in
June. 1884.

two months, from there going to Biz

Underwood was admitted to the bar
in Birmingham, Ala, on the first day

Dudley's Defeat in Ohio. He after
wards studied law, became a member
of the court of appeals of Kentucky
was elected to congress as a whig, and
afterwards served in the United States
senate as a colleague Of Henry Clay.
He agreed with Mr. Clay in his ad-
vocacy of a gradual emancipation OF
the slaves and in the early part Of the
ffties emancipated all his slaves who
desired their freedom on condition
that they would go to Liberia to live.
About half Of them accepted their
freedom under these conditions, and
he, at his own expense, sent them to
Liberia and gave them the money to
start life. The balance Of his slaves
remained with him until after the war.
AT the outbreak of the war he was
over 10 years of age and took no ac-
tive part in the hostilities, but MS
svmpathies were on the side of the
Union. His son, Eugene Underwood,
the father of Oscar w. Underwood,
was born at Glasgow, KY, in 1918. He
practiced law at Bowling Green, KY,
in partnership with his father, and
subsequently moved to Nashville,
Tenn, and practiced law there for
about ten years. He was member
of the original board Of directors OF
the Louisville and Nashville railroad,
but just before the beginning OF the
civil war moved to Louisville and en-
gaged in the practice Of the law in
that city.

When the Union army first occu-
pied the city of Louisville he was ar
rested, charged with being Southern
sympathizer but was subsequently
released, and from that time to the
end of the war took no part on either
side of the controversy. Two of his
brothers served in the Confederate
army; John C. Underwood, now living
in New York, was major in the Con-
federate army and was engaged on
the Confederate side in the Battle OF
Shiloh and other battles. Towards the
end of the war he was captured ana
confined in a northern prison until the
close of the hostilities. Eugene Un-
derwood, from the time OF the out
break of the Civil war, aligned him.
salf with the Democratic party and
consistently voted the Democratic
ticket from that time to the time OF
his death. In his youth he voted the
vhig ticket. Joseph R. Underwood,
Oscar W. Underwoods' grandfather,
was whig up to the time of the Civil
war: after that time he aligned HIM
self with the Democratic party and
always voted the Democratic ticket.
He was a member of the national
Democratic convention that nominated
Seymour for president. All of Oscar
w. Underwood's ancestors on his pa
ternal side were Southern people,
either Virginians Or Kentuckians.

Underwood's maternal grandfather
was Jabez Smith, who was born IN

burg, Va, when he was boy lS years
of age. He built one Of the first cot

from a Democratic family. During the
