TALK Of LAST REUNION
BEATS HASTY RETREAT
BEFORE VETS CHARGE
Warriors Are Going to Keep
on Having Reunions as Long
as There Are Any to Reunite,
Other SideIightS on Gathering
BY ROGERS WINTER.
journal staff Correspondent.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 1S.-
There's not going to be any last re-
union of the United Confederate
Veterans. so long as there are any
veterans left to reunite.
The veterans have settled this
question very definitely and very
emphatically. and all parties con-
cerned have accepted their say-so as
final, thereby fisposing of the talk
that the one next year might be the
last reunion Of the men vino fought
for the southern Confcderacy.
This morning at the BijOu theater.
where the veterans hold their bust
ness sessions. one of the speakers
committed the mistake of suggesting
that perhaps the reunion next year
might be the last.
Something happened right then
and there. The veterans let out a
rebel yell that shook the building.
charged with drawn bayOnets. and
put the suggestion completely to
rouU. Beating a hasty and disordered
retreat to the rear of the building,
the suggestion leaped through door
about twenty. feet above the ground,
and was langled on the pavement in
an ALLEY.
The veterans are going to keep on
holding reunions, just as long as any
of them are left. Why shouldn I
they. as they say themselves? These
annual gatherings are the greatest
thing the average veteran has to live
for. Take that away from him? Not
if they know it. OF course ii may be
that nobody seriously contemplated
such a thing, but there was consid-
cradle talk going the rounds-pre-
vious to that episode in the Bijou
theate, sine which moment the talk
has not been audible to the naked
ear.

Spot Cotton IN
Atlanta Reaches
NeaU High Mark

Spot cotton in Atlanta Thursday
reached new high mark for the sea-
son. 1t was quoted at 13 cents, an adj
vance of lis over quotations Wednesday.
New York spots also went up 20 points
to 1886 cents. New Orleans spots went
up ! points to 12.SS cents.
There was also a marked advance in
the New York futures market, of from
IL to II points.
Persistent peace rumors, the back
wardness Of the new crop and appre-
tensions that rains and colder weather
will further retard it, were responsible
for the upward movement.
