IN CHATTANOOGA CESiETERY. r City Preparing to Entertain Reunion Crowds Is “Shining Up,” and In Cleaning Off Cemetery Workmen Make Grewsome Find as Well as Having Busy Time With Slimey Serpents. Chattanooga, Tenn., Feb. 27. Editor News: The Confeder ate reunion is to be held here :n May and the city of Chattanooga is having a house-cleaning as well as making other preparations to get all of the advertising end money she can out of the great throngs of people who are expect-' ed to flood the city on that occa sion. There has, gone out several type-written pages of data, boost ing Chattanooga that will be used in 3,500,000 folders, to be issued by the railroads and circulated thruout the south between now and the opening of the Confed erate reunion. The railroads of course will be benefited by the reunion and it is their purpose to advertise Chattanooga as wide ly as possible. The cit.yHU popu lation is placed at about double the real figures in these circu lars and of all of her advantages and enterprises boosted to the echo in the same proportion. But the publicity campaign is on and sordid commercialism reigns supreme. The old soldier and “his lost cause'’ is to he used as a draw ing card that the younger gener ation may puff and blow and thereby reap self-agrandizement or a financial harvest. To read the columns upon columns pub lished in the daily papers here about the reunion one would hardly realize that the old Con feds. have anything to do with the affair except to furnish the numbers of visitors and pitch dol lars into the. coffers of Chattano ga business. For instance, read the following excerpts. “It, is estimated that the re union will leave in Chattanooga $500,000 and that the adjcertis'- iug will amount in value to sl, 000.000. The Sons of Confeder ate veterans are proposing to g t busy. They intend doing their part on a big scale and in a mast effective manner. Plate matter will be furnished the weekly papers and each day a good live story will be mailed to the dailies’’ By delving through it all, I did find this in reference to the Confederate Veterans: “Congressman John A. Moon has been successful in securing from the war department 12,000 cots for the use of the confeder ate veterans during the reunion in May.” Do these annual hurrahs that are made over the few' living de fenders of our homes and native land in that .fierce conflict be tween the states, spring from fountains of pure love and de votion? Pardon me if I doubt it. Ti know that marble shafts rep resenting every southern com monwealth lift their glistening heads in the sun in mtemory of the wearer of the gray; I know that the Daughters of the Con federacy and the Sons of-Confed erate Veterans are zealous in their efforts to sing his praises and keep the records straight; I know that camps are named in honor of the generals of the Con federacy and monuments dot the southland to his glory. And— “ These may be tokens ® ' (By Special Staff Correspondent.) and devotion as deep as the sea and as pure as the driven snow, but you cannot expect one who has Confederate kindred sleep ing in unknown graves some where amojfg • the hills of Ten nessee or Virginia to believe in its'sincerity, when he has stood and viewed the old Confederate gravery and in the heart of the city here —a' wilderness of forty years growth, poisonous reptiles wind their way through weeds and grass growing almost om the breasts of those who lost their lives in the thick of the fray. pli, consistency, thou art a jewel. • Chattanooga has the commis sion ‘form of government and some time i>go the commission er of parks and driveways was instructed to clear off the old cemetery and 1 send you here with some excerpts from his re port to the mayor and commis sinners. The commissioner graph ically portrayed in writing the results of the depredations of the malicious, the devastation of time and the wild growth of an “uninterrupted riot, of nature” at the same time scrupulously avoiding mention of the fact that it was the resting place of the confederate dead. Some l very gruesome discoveries were made by the workmen in clearing away the growth of vegetation. In one place human hones consisting of a skull and ribs were found unearthed. Over four hundred poisonous snakes were killed on , the grounds. But read the ex 'cerpts and figure for yourself what it, uwAiis';— . . > ‘‘'The old property was known to'-'frfe.. in what would be called a bad Condition, but this vague suggestion gives hardly an idea of the real facts.

The en tire surface, including most of these sunken graves, was cover ed by an interminated mass of vines, weeds, briars, and wild growth—an uninterupted riot of nature for twenty, forty and six ty years. 1 “Under such conditions it is not hard to understand how this old and sacr< 1 ground had reach ed a period in its history to bt avoidd and shunnd by its old friends —a place unsafe and unfit, to visit—known as a rendezvous at night and more or less in the licentious and vicious, it had be come in fact and in truth a nui sance, abandoned and disowned —such was the condition when y u ur commissioner took c' arge. “The work began in a gener al cleaning up and more than *IOO poisonous snakes were killed.
