less heroes, and she gave host of
brave men of the ranks who on count
less fields rendered valorous account
of their courage and patriotism. The
creditable part which the people of
this state took in support of Southern
defense is a source Of pride to the sur
vivors of the great conflict and of
generation to the younger generation.
"In every community from the Po-
tomac to the Gulf the Confederate vet
eran is always an honored and well
come visitor and guest. No greater
tribute could be paid to the enduring
justice of the principles for which they
commended and for the magnificent
manner in which they sustained their
convictions through the four sternest
years of American history, than the
unanimous and enduring verdict Of
commentator and appreciation which
has for half century accorded the
glorious patriotism and chivalry Of
the Confederate soldiers throughout
the length and breadth of the South
land they so heroically defended. In
Florida the veterans will find the same
cordial respect and unbounded hospi-
tality which awaits them at all points
In the Southland,
THE formality of assuring a well

the Jacksonville Reunion is quite un-
necessary; but 1t may be permitted
me to say that shall always consider
it one Of the most pleasing and graft

privileged to bid veterans OF the Con-
federacy from all sections welcome az
the guests OF the warm-hearted people
of this great state.

against regular democracy, until they
had shown their hand, others unwill-

Insufficient notice had also been Civ

Proceeding to organization J. @.

instructing for Samuel G. Williams
for Supreme Judge and Captain W. R.

Commissioner. The committee on res
olutions were Messrs. Hudson, Clep-
per and Woodfin, and their report was
as follows:
In presenti6e the candidacy of Capt.
Sadler to the convention R. A. Will
Hanson spoke very highly of him as a
citizen and gentleman. Capt. Sadler
is an old confederate soldier.
Taking up matter of county organic
alton on motion of Mr.. Williamson,
J. G. Lambert was reelected chair
man of executive committee, and J.

FIRED ON
AMERICANS
Mexicans Get Impatient to Be-
gin the Slaughter.

First blood was shed in the Mexican
War Monday, although war was not
officially declared, owing to Huerta's
refusal to salute the American flag af-
tor arrest of officers sent for mail.
The battle occurred at Vera Cruz.
A landing party of 500 men were sent
by orders of President Wilson to seize
the custom house and thus prevent the
Mexicans from obtaining $1,000, 900
rounds of ammunition and 400 field
guns coming in German ship. The
Mexicans fired on the party as they
landed about II O'Clock, and the battle
was vigorously waged for four hours,
the combatants firing from the house
tops, and other points of vantage.
Four Americans were killed and 16
wounded, over 300 Mexcans are be-
lieved to have been killed. The rebels
are about to ally with Husrta, and it
now seems that the only way to end
the war is to prosecute it as vigorous
~ as possible, and seize the capital,
Mexico City, and Huerta himself:
The American spirit is very
strong in Mexico, and has been for q
long time, and it seems that nothing
but war will satisfy them.
Telephone report yesterday was that
400 American soldiers had been kill
ed, and O'Shaunessey, the Ameri-
can charge, assassinated.
