LOCAL VETERANS
 BACK FROM REUNION
Had Fine Time at JacksOnyille-Re- election of General Young
 Is Pleasing

Members of Camp Hardee, United Confederate Veterans returned yester- day morning from Jacksonville where the reunion was held. Many of the Camp Hardee members came also and during the day others arrived in the city.
 All declared that they had fine time at the reunion and had but one complaint to make. Dr. J. w. Barclay. 2100 Sixth avenue. had the following to say about the trip:
 We had fine time in Jacksonville. Everything passed off lovely, but I don't think it was as good reunion as the one in Birmingham. We were well pleased at the reelection of Gen eral Young as commander in chief, and he received the entire vote from Ala bama. The selection of Richmond for the next reunion was also gratifying to us, and especially so to me. I was in that part of the country during the war and will revisit the scenes of many stirring events with great pleasure
 'In regard to the parade, 1t was all right. but there were not near enough automobiles to carry the veterans. I suppose the people of Jacksonville got up as many as they could, but there were not over half enough. Only . few of the veterans marched.
 There was one thing that was pain fully noticeable and that was the ina bility of the railroad men to handle the traffic. We lad a particularly dis agreeable experience. having to wait for our train all night.
 However, such things are unavoid- able and taken all in all, we had a fine time"

Some of these men," said he. were not members of the Cath ollie church. but in this mass all will be remembered"
 After the evening services the mem bers of the Holy Name society met In St. Paurs hall to elect successor to E. F. Dupray. who resigned his office of president owing to his early de- parture from the city. W. F. Enneltng was elected president, after which sew eral of the members made short talks expressing their appreciation of the zeal and services of the late .presi- dent and wishing him success in his new field of labor.

The animal was closely guarded but despite pre- cautions some wag of the Birmingham temple succeeded in turing 1t away and there was consternation among the Meridian Shriners when a frantic search failed to reveal the whereabouts of the precious goat.
 Taking pity on their very evident distress, the goat was eventually re- stored. but not until 1t had had some strenuous experiences
 Members of Zamora temple will not go to Atlanta until today It is ex. pected that there will be at least 800 on the special train that will go over the Southern.

Charging Improper Motives

To the Editor of The Age-Herald The Conner forces have made the ri- diculous and nonsensical charge that the capitol of this state Is in Loufs- vile: that the states rights are sold to and are under the control of the Louisville and Nashville and the liquor interests. This implies. in no unmis- takable inference. that the voters of this great commonwealth are the slaves of, and are dominated by, the inter- ssts. These charges are disgraceful Ato the manhood of this state. stigma Ton the integrity of the electorate. and an insult to the intelligence and pat riotism of the independent democracy. A candidate may be excused, by the extremely liberal, for dreaming in pol ttics, and for cultivating his evil thoughts and malicious suppositions to Efhe extent of charging his opponents with various alliances. having no source for their origin except a fer tile and highly theoretical mental fac |ulty. complicated with the disease of suspicion and disposition to islander. When the opposition Is charged with |}7ishonesty by implication. with the E5vowed purpose of obliterating the per- yPptton and understanding of tho voter Fad by prejudice thus aroused seeks to ecure his support. notwithstanding the fult hurled at him.
