VETERANS HAVE BIG TIME.
Meeting Saturday Afternoon a Pleasa Mt
Atfair-Getting Ready for New Suits.


The spirit of the Sixties gave the tru,
ring that sounded like the RESPONSE +,
the war call of today, at the reoula,
monthly meeting of the Confederate vet
Grams held Saturday afternoon at head
quarters. The warm spring weather. the
uearness to the Washington reunion
date and the keen interest in the mi
form campaign seemed as incentives tG
bring out the largest number of yeter-
ans that have gathered this year Then
it had been whispered about that an Tin
known friend would provide a luncheon
very much more elaborate than the usual
one served at regular meetings and the
members were out in full force
The devotional exercises were con-
Quoted by the chaplain, Rev. j. NJ Hill
liar, assisted by Comrade Robert Parker;
and music was furnished by Misses
lIadge Fields and Iris Burrus, patriotic
songs taking the lead, the veterans join
ing in the chorus
The meeting was presided over by
Commander Tom Wood and Secretary A.
N. Idol, and Immediately following the
roll the commander called upon DR.. j. T.
Burrus, who in an imprOmptu manner
spoke eloquently and tenderiy of the
Confederate veteran whom he first learn
ed to love while at his fathers knee. DIR.
Burrus was listened to with rapt atten-
ton. Later in the afternoon Col. ID. III.
Milton, of Raleigh, gave strong talk,
referring to the conditions existing over
the country, how North Carolina as of
old (the days of the sixties) stood ready
TO take her place in the front, and urged
the women to "be ready"
Commander Wood made a rousing
triotism of the sixties and 1917 and
when he called for every veteran who
was ready to go to the front and pro-
tect our flag, the camp as a whole rose.
At the conclusion of the unusually full
business period the camp Unanimously
confirmed the sponsors selection of
Airs Herbert Field as Dame of Honor for
the Washington reunion, and Paul Sta
mcy, son of Mr.. and Mrs. W. L. Stamey,
was selected as mascot for the camp for
the Washington reunion. This not only
gives young Stamey the privilege of at
tending the meetings here in the camp
but allows him the privilege of wearing
a gray uniform and marching in the pa
rade at Washington. This part is op-
tional with him.
There were numerous letters to be
read and gifts presented at the gift and
letter period always presided over by the
sponsor, Miss l. Irwin Pylor. One of
the most important letters contained a
copy of the joint resolution in regard to
the origin of the flag of the Confederate
States Of America, resolved by the house
of representatives, the senate concurring.
So-the whole of North Carolina is |
ready to 90 to Washington and stand
behind the STARS and Bars" just as they
are ready to praise Senator HOlderness
for his ardent work to raise the pensions.
