CHARLOTTE, N. c., June THE
dwindling hosts that wore the gray in
the War Between the States yesterday
remembered their dead, elected their
leader for another year and wound up
the formal business of the annual re-
union of the United Confederate Vet

reappointed Harry Rene Lee of Nash
vile. Tenn. as adjutant general.
During the memorial service the
Stars and Bars stood at half staff as
those who have already faced the
great beyond were mourned. Gray
heads bowed as they leaned on their
canes and the aged throng stood in
silence as the names of their comrades
who passed during the year just gone
were read. To the list were added at the
last minute the name of Mai John Han
cock, SO, of Austin, Tex, who died yes
terday morning Of heart trouble. Head

COMMITTEE TO PLAN
 BETTER CLUB HOUSE
Putnam Country Club May See Vision Fulfilled In Near
 Future

A well attended meeting of the members of the Putnam Country Club was held at the club house last Friday evening. A number of mat ters were talked over and everyone was outspOken as to his views on the subjects discussed which resulted in a harmonious conclusion. It was vot- ed that hereafter the annual meeting be held on the second Tuesday in January instead of in March. This will give more time for new commit tees to organize and make plans after they are elected or appointed.
 A vision of q number Of the mem- bers may become Il reality. Those who belong to the club and those who play the Putnam Country Club golf course feel that Putnam has one of the best courses in the state. The course was laid out on an old farm some years ago and the dilapidated farm house transformed into a club house. As the club has developed and become more and more an asset to this corner Of Nindham county the clubhouse has been remodeled. en- larged and modern improvements have been added.
 Those who have for some time vis- ualized a more modern clubhouse and oae more in keeping with che import ance the club has gained. may soon see the fulfilment of that vision, At least the subject will be thor oughly investigated by an excel ent committee. The eommi tee appoint sd last Friday evening includes Vie tor Anderson, Danielson. chairman Byron D. BuEbee, Putnam. Alfred Reed, Danielson. This committed will look into the matter of possible changes in the clubhouse tc make il more convenient and attractive ana to get plans and specifications ,o be submitted at the next meeting. The
 lattei 0f financing will be included in the committees report.
