but geographical location and the
striking enthusiasm Of the Greenville

Of Tennessee, North Carolina and
South Carolina. conspired in bringing
victory to the Piedmont city.
General Tyson, in an ex-officio ca
pacity, ably presented the claim OF
each Of the Tennessee cities. He said
that Memphis was best equipped Of
any OF the cities bidding to entertain
the convention. For Knoxville. he ar
gued keen interest in the Thirtieth
and for Chattanooga its beautiful
scenery.
Columbia OHered Dig inducements
in the way Of entertainments and Ra-
leigh presented what the committee
declared was a most impelling conten-
tion that the first reunion should come
here.
The contest, however. was in such
splendid spirit that the ether towns
have pledged to do everything possi-
BILE to make the organization meeting
Of the association a big success and
bide their turn in entertaining the
veterans.
