A GREAT UNDERTAKING.
Caring For Veterans is a Tremen-
dOuS Task.

Gettysburg, Pa. June 29.-Army Of
fcers, crowds of visitors and veter-
ans who are to participate in the ex-
ercises commemorating the 50th an.
niversary of the battle of Gettysburg
said today the event would go down
in history as one of the greatest re-
unions of its kind ever witnessed. The
officers said the magnitude of the un-
dertaking would be difficult to grasp
even if the encampment we're for the
entertainment of $4,000 men in the
prime of life but when one considered
that the average age of the veterans
is Y years, the task before those in
charge of the camp must be released.
The real invasion of the quaint lit
tie border town began early this
morning. It is expected to reach it's
height by tomorrow night and gal
lantly the little borough of 1000 has
tackled the proposition Of caring for
its guests.
To add to the difficulties and dan
gers of a situation hazardous under
any circumstances, the weather is al
most unbearable.
With a sun blazing savagely the hu-
midity is so high that the least move
ment is productive of exhaustion.
Thus far the veterans already here
have contented themselves very large
Iy with sitting about in shady places
talking. Already there have been
several cases of heat exhaustion.
By the telephone system in the
camp, the construction of which in
volved the stringing of 120 miles of
wire, it will be possible to telephone
from any point in the camp to any
part of the country reached by the
telephone system.

Edgefeld, June 27.-During a
thunder storm Wednesday afternoon
about , o'clock, lightning struck ths
Baptist church in the town Of Edge
field, causing it to catch fire. Before
the fact was discovered the fire had
made such progress that it was i'm
possible to save the building. Some
of the furnishings and the piano was
savsd.
The church was built of brick and
was we'll furnished, being the most
costly and best furnished church in
the place. The building and furni-
ture is estimated to be worth about
$4,000, while the new pipe organ
was valued at about $1,000, the III
surance on the whole only amount
ing to S5,2OO or less than one third
of the value of the whole.
1t is a great loss to the Baptists
of Edgefeld and to the town; but,
the Baptists are brave and the con-
gregation is a large one, consisting
of between three and four hundred
members. While the loss is such a
heavy one to them, they will rise
equal to the occasion and rebuild
at once with a finer and larger edi-
fee, is our prediction.
