Annual Ball.

The ball Wednesday night was the
browning event of the reunion for
both old and young. The dancing
was done on the stage Of the opera
house, which had been cleared for
the occasion. The decorations were
profuse, the Confederate and Am
erican flags being used. The Opera
House was filled with interested
spectators and the whole made a
scene long to be remembered.
Tn first half of the evening was
devoted to such dances as could be
enjoyed by the veterans, the ball OPP
ening with the grand march and to
the inspiring strains of the music
the old men stepped out lively with
their pretty sponsors, enjoying the
pleasures of long age. The Virginia
reel, square dances and marches
were danced, the young ladies vieing
with each other in giving the veter-
ans a good time. Could the North
have taken a look ahead and seen
these men marching with so much
vim and vigor after fifty years, the
government would have capitulated
and peace been made at once.
After the square dances the vet

MEETING OF THE VETERANS.

We are giving elsewhere an ac-
count of the reunion of the veterans
in Abbville. The account of Tues
days meeting is taken from the
Greenville News and the account Of
Wednesdays meeting from The
State. These accounts furnish full
Ter information as to the proceed
ines than we would be able to give.
The people of Abbeville have
greatly enjoyed the coming Of the
old veterans. 1t is our purpose In
next Tuesdays issue to publish the
names Of those veterans who attend
ed and the names of those people
who entertained them in their homes
and elsewhere. We are sorry that
the names of a great many who at
tended only during the day, and who
returned home at night, were not
obtained. The list to be published
will show that more than three hun
dred veterans registered with the
Committee on Homes. It is believed
that the whole number of veterans
attending approached four hundred.
1t will be gratifying to those peo-
pie who undertook to assist in en-
pertaining these good visitors to
know that they have stated on all
occasions that the meeting in Able
vile was one of the most pleasant
they have ever attended. One old
veteran called us aside to say that
if we heard Of anybody grumbling
about the way he was treated in
Abbeville to report the matter, and
he would have him lynched.
The fine dinners served by the
Daughters of the Confederacy on
both days of the reunion added to
the pleasure of the old soldiers.
They greatly enjoyed sitting down
together at the big tables and being
served by the good looking women
who were in charge of affairs.
To Capt. J. L. Perrin belongs a
great deal of the credit for the sue
cess of the meeting. He had his
plans we'll made, and his committees
of this size and we should give the
meeting a success.
Abbeville has just now found out
what she can do in handling a crowd
o fthis size and we should give the
matter another trial.

decencies of the unspeakable Ger
man, the pulpit cannot close eyes
to the evident effects on those in
the pews. To meet this emergency
which is now worldwide, the pastor
has chosen the following subjects
which open the way to the testing
of Christian faith.
Morning, HOO o'clock.-"The
Foundations of Christian Faith"
There will be three competent judi
ges to hear the evidence and pass
Judgment on its suficiency.
Evening, $3.50 (sharp)-"The
Bush and the Book" The startling
parallelism between the burning bush
before which Moses was commanded
to remove his shoes as he stood on
Holy Ground, and the Bible will be
made plain.
The old soldiers in our city and
their recent convention linked to the
general world condition creates q
spirit of patriotism that should pro-
perly find expression in the church
service where the community's
thoughts are Influenced. For this
reason there will be sung both re-
ligious and patriotic songs at the
evening service supported by the
pipe organ and several other in
struments constituting an orchestra.
This evening service will be n long
to be remembered and an over
flowing house is anticipated. Come
early. Country people will have
plenty of room near the church to
tie their horses and park their acrs.
Those who have the leaflets used
at the recent rally on which is print
ed "The Star Spangled Banner
are requested to bring them. Don't

tables have been provided in a

cd Of Work for Contributions to
Ono Hundred Million Dollars
War Fund.

designating the week beginning May
20, as "Red Cross Week" and calling
upon the American people to con-
tribute generously to the second
500, OOO, 900 war fund of the Am

Proclamation.
"Inasmuch as the war fund of
1917, so generously contributed by
the American people to the Ameri-
can Red Cross for the administration
of relief at home and abroad, has
been practically exhausted by appro-
priations for the welfare of the men
in our military and naval forces, and
for the yet more urgent necessities
of u allies, military and civilian
who have long borne the brunt of
war.
"And, inasmuch as the American
Red Cross has been recognized by
law as the fundamentally for war
relief.
Great Demands Met.

vile for their generous hospitality
and delightful entertainment extend
ed to the old soldiers, to the COM
mittees which planned and 80 efec-
lively carried into effect the excel
lent arrangement for the comfort
and pleasure of the veterans, to the
press for courtesies, to the ladies
who graced our reunion at all times,
to the soldierly Boy Scouts, to the
owners Of automobiles whose kindly
attention has been very helpful to
the old men, to the railroad officials
for reduced rates, to the band and
to all others who have contributed
to the pleasure that the reunion has
been to each one Of our command"
The people of Abbeville and the
various organizations Of the city
have worked 10 make the reunion a
pleasant one for the old soldiers,
realizing that for some it will be
the last. 1t vas an inspiring sight
to see in the parade today the grey
haired men with their banners flying,
marching behind the khaki clad
band that will soon be in France.
The annual reunion ball was

house, bringing to a close an enjoy
able occasion.

"And inasmuch as the year of oul
own participation in the war has
brought unprecedented demands up
on the patriotism and liberality OF
people and made evident the necessi-
ty of concentrating the work of re-
lief in one main organization which
can respond effectively and univer,
sally to the needs of humanity un-
der stress of war.
"And, inasmuch as the duration of
the war and the closer and closer
cooperation of the American Red
Cross with our own army and navy
with the governments of our allies,
and with foreign relief organizations
have resulted in the discovery of
new opportunities of helpfulness un-
der conditions which translate op-
portunity into duty:

and economically administered the
