Washington Prepares
For The Reunion.

Although the Confederate re-
union, to be held in Washington.
is more than four months Off
June Interpretations are well
under way. This will probably
be the last reunion. but whether
it is or not, it is safe to asss1me
that it will be the last big one.
Not only is the Washington
committee of arrangements busy
every day in the week with de-
tails, but veteran camps in every
State of the South are perfecting
plans for moving on to the ma
tional capital. Also the rail-
roads are giving a great deal of
publicity to the Forthcoming
event.
The lines traversing this part
of the South with eastern con-
nections-that is to say, practic-
ally all the lines-are making
announcements which appeal to
the sentiment of the old soldiers
who fought for the lost cause.
One railroad company is stress
ing the fact that its trains run
through historic battlefelds OF
Virginia, taking in a view Of
the crater near Petersburg and
the Notifications around Rich
mond. Another company calls
attention to the fact that the
veterans who travel on its road
will ride over one stretch of rs
miles which was built by Con.
federate soldiers, land which
has remained, perhaps, the most
permanent monument of any
work done by the Confederacy.'
II is the line between Greensboro,
| n. c., and Danville, Va.
| When the war began there
was no railroad connecting the
old Richmond & Danville with
the North Carolina system oil
roads. A railroad official, in
sketching the situation, says the
Confederate authorities saw the
strategic value of such a line,
and were able to bring to bear
sufficient pressure to overcome
the obstacles which had previ.
ously stood in the way of its con.
struction, owing to the rivalry
of North Carolina and Virginia,
each State seeking to protect its
own railway interests
The rail necessary for the con-
struction of the Greensboro-D IN
vile connection was procured by
tearing up other lines. At the
close OF the war the 48-mile
stretch was confscated by the
United States as one of the as
sets of the Confederacy and there
was prolonged litigation before
the Richmond & Danville re-
ceived it.
This section has been double
tracked but few changes were
found necessary lin the location
as determined by the wartime
engineers"
