The annual reunion OF the United
Confederate Veterans OF South Caro-
lima was commenced most auspicious-
ly yesterday. The weather was very
summery, but there is lot of shade
In Anderson. The band concert on
tho court house square ushered in the
proceedings of the day, after which
followed the morning session at the
headquarters tent, and this was fol-
lowed by meetings in the afternoon
and the entertainment at Bcuna Vista
park last night.
There Was a.whole lot OF happiness
crowded into yesterday. Men who had
not seen each other for generation
fell upon each others necks and wept
tears OF Joy. Many an old heart made
young again in the recalling of those
days when they were shoulder to
shoulder In the trenches.
Benches had been placed in many
convenient places and under the great
oaks dn the rear Of the courthouse
there were gathered all day hundreds
of old soldiers. holding real, genuine,
reunions.
The trains poured their gray clad
freight into the city through the morn
ing hours and there was q busy day
at the Chamber. OF Commerce where,
