CAMPS CONVENE
At NASHVILLE
CONFEDERATE VETERANS OF TEN
NESSEE ASSEMBLE.
Union City Chosen for the Next Meeting
Place of the Old Veterans by As
clamation-Auto Ride About
the City.

Nashville.-As officers of the camps of
the United Confederate Veterans of Ten
nessee, the delegates assembled in the
Cheatham bivouac room in the court
house Wednesday afternoon selected
John P. Hickman as their president to
succeed himself. Other officers selected
were: Bridgadier-G General for East Ten
nessee, r. G. Crouch; Brigadier-General
for West Tennessee, William @. Gordon.
Brigadier-General for Middle Tennessee,
Evander Shepard.
Before the business of the meeting
started the old veterans began telling
stories. Many men in the hall were
called upon to get before the audience
and relate anecdotes and one and all
responded. The business of the after
noon session was begun with the appoint
ment of committee from the camps to
confer with that of the bivoaucs on the
next place of meeting. The committee
for the camps was composed of F. M.
McCrea, r. c. Crouch and ]. C. Hickman;
that for the bivoancs of S. c. Myers,
John A. Miller and J. l.. Deviney. The
committee after short elaboration
unanimously selected Union City for the
meeting place in 1914. The convention
ratified this choice enthusiastically.
The motion was made and carried that
the actions and reports included in the
report of the morning session of the
bivoaues be made part of the record
of the afternoon session, that of the
camps. This motion was carried and the
secretary so instructed. The meeting
was then led in prayer by the Rev. /.
+. Martin. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and adopted. In this
reading it was shown how those in
charge of the recent Chattanooga re-
union had forbidden women to ride
astride in the Confederate parade, an
action which the veterans approved of
heartily. They also showed their appro-
baton of the fact that the parade at
Chattanooga had been one for Confed-
crates only and that the usual features
for sponsors and maids, that almost
overshadows the old soldiers, were rele-
gated to another parade.
