riors OF fifty years ago tramped to-
day, seeking enjoyment and renewing
old acquaintances.
Day Promises To Be Hot.
It was very hot Long before the sun
was visible above the fiat lands lying TO
the eastward there was a warmth in
the air that caused apprehension in the
breasts of the medical officers on whose
shoulders the care of the 5000 veterans
rests. There were no clouds to temper
the torridity of the midsummer sun,
but the veterans accepted the situation
without complaint. AS a matter of fact
most of them congratulated themselves
On the fact that Ii was nowhere near
so hot as fifty years ago today and that
there was not the necessity for haste
that there was then.
And. despite the exhortations of the
first aid men to refrain from drink
ing any Of the fearful and wonderful
concoctions sold so freely everywhere
oil tside of the camp reservation the Wis
itinG hosts simply suited their own con-
venience and drank when they were

War Time Scenes.
Most of the old soldiers are coming
here merely to renew old associations
and to see once more the war time
scenes, the mission of DIR. ]. A. Mar
shall, of Alexandria. has deeper sig
nificance. DIR. Marshall was member
of bearings battalion which supported
Pickett's charge, and his brother. Col
James K. Marshall, commanded Petit
Crews artillery brigade, which also
backed up that famous onslaught.
Colonel Marshall was killed during the
charge, but his body was never found
by his relatives or friends and the doc
tor hopes to get some trace of him this
week. 1t is his first visit to Gettys-
burg since the battle. Colonel Mar
shall was in command of the Fifty-sec-
ond North Carolina and the disablement
of the brigade commander July placed
him in charge. After the battle his
horse was found wounded In several
places. but none of the survivors of the
company could find the officer they had
followed.
There are forty tents occupied by the
Capital City veterans. Eleven of these
are assigned to Confederate soldiers,
unueT cOmfnduu OF SOi- H. u hdfShdh,
who was with Colonel Ashby's brigade
of cavalry In the war. The other
twenty-nine tents house the Union sol
diers, who have taken special pains In
entertaining their former foes.
Suffragettes Invade Camp.
The suffragettes have invaded the
camp. They came not only from WASH
ington. but from other parts of the
country to spread the votes-for-women
propaganda among the veterans. Mrs.
c. w. McNaughton and Mrs. Anna Har-
mon are leading the peaceful attack
of the Washington group, and are
working nightly to get the influence
of the old soldier vote in their cause.
Not a single veteran Will go away
frage II the plans Of the women work
ers carry. They will plead for the
freedom of women-a freedom to be
won by ballots instead of bullets. ,s-,--
The law of the camp forbids the pres
ence of women on the battlefield after

down early today. planning to campaign

headquarters by an impromptu parade
of Union and Confederate veterans who
did their best to show. by their en-

just what this visit meant. The com
mander-in-chief of the Grand Army Of
the Republic, Gen. Alfred B. Beers, of
Bridgeport. Conn. was already on the
ground, and for the remainder OF the
week the two ranking officials will be
the most prominent figures in the
celebration.
Only two hours each day are to be de-
voted to the formal exercises in the
big tent which has been erected just
off the Emmetsburg road. The off,
cials realize, that because of the ex-
treme age Of most of those here II
would be a hardship to lengthen the
program. So for the greater part Of
the time the veterans will be permitted

picturesque manner.
First Formal Function.
The first formal function of the week
came this afternoon and was de-
cidedly picturesque. The few remain
ing survivors of Joe" wheeler,s cav
airy division, and of Buford's Union
cavalry men gathered in the headquar.-
ers tent. Veteran residents of Gettys-
burg and the present town officials
were their guests. 1t was a re-
ception designed as a belated acknowl-
edgement of courtesies extended by the
towrspeople when the troopers rode
into the town half a century ago.

County Spelling Contest, May 10

first eight grades, attending the pub
lie schools for th~ree-fourths of the
term for 1928, shall be eligible to
enter this contest, except such pupils
as may have been promoted to the
high school or may have received the
common school diploma previous to
the present school year. Each district
is entitled to three representatives.
The winner in this contest will be en-
titled to represent the County in the
State Spelling Contest to be held at
Jefferson City, May II, 1913.
Prizes in the spelling contest will be
as follows: First Prize, S.; Second
Prize, 50; Third Prize, 81.
We could not get entries enough to
justify holding a d~eclamatory contest.
Some of the schools are planning to
hold exercises at the close of their
terms. We will deliver the diplomas
at such closing exercises and will not
have the county declamatory contest,
but all pupils that have completed the
examinations and have not yet receiv-
ed their diplomas may get them when
they come to the spelling contest.
We are trying to arrange for a
County Athletic meet on the same
date; all who are interested will please
notify me at once.
Remember your display work; we
would like for every school in the
county to have some display work on
exhibition at this meeting. This same
work can be placed on exhibition at
the fair next fall, SO let us all be rep
resented. Very truly,
