Birmingham, Ala., .June 10. —
With the selection of Memphis as
the place for the reunion, and the
election of General Clement A.
Evans, of Georgia, as commander
in-chief to succeed the late General
Stephen D. Leo, the United Con
federate Veterans adjourned their
annual convention late this after
noon.
The selection of the place of
meeting aroused great rivalry be
tween Memphis and Atlanta, these
two cities being the only ones put
in nomination- Strong speeches
were made for each place, hut when
Virginia came over to the side < f
Memphis, the Atlanta supporters
realized that the fight was lost.
Genera! Clement A- Evans, the
new commander-;n-ehief, is a mail
of pleasant address, and one of tie
most. loved in the army. lie is a
native of Georgia and horn oi
North Carolina and Virginia, revolu
tionary parentage. He was a grad
uate of the Georgia Lawsehqq], and
began practice of law at 1!) years of
age. He was elected judge of the
county court at 22, and state sen
ator at 25.
The civil war commenced when
he was senator, ajnd although he
was exempt from military service
he joined a company in his county
in Janury, 1861, and began his
millitary coreer. He was first
elected major of the Thirty-first
Georgia regiment, and then pro
moted colonel. His regiment was :
put in Lawton's brigader, afterwards
Gordon’s brigade- Gederal Evans I

nessee department with rank of
lieutenant general.
The Command to love.
You are not commanded simply to
love your neighbor. There isa very
important qualification attached
thereto, and, with it, there comes in
to play the grim humor that lights
up the pages of Scripture; and be
sure the uttermost depths are sound-
ed. The command is a large and
healthy invitation to self-knowledge,
the necessity of which has been in
sisted on by the sages and prophets
of all the tribes of men since experi
ence came out of the underbrush,
full of wounds and bruises, in search
of a full meal and a soft pallet.
The behest is simply to love your
neighbors as you love yourself, and.
the qualification is such as to fit
iv- ry case; for wLm mu. look frank
ly into tin 1 < • pll.s < f your own
heart —into the dark nom, as it
were, where your native thoughts
and desire .-.otic at. I rage, and!
•atch a glimpse, h >wv. r fleeting,
of the lair of the least, you will
have to acquire a strange taste for
what is alto. -:t wholly bad if you
fall in love with the things you
find there. Let ho thin scum (1
piety, howev' r nod it may lie, inter
fere with the thoroughness of this
self-examination; let no veneer of
culture and refinement come be
tween your vision and the thing
you really are; and when you have
seen all there is to be seen, and
learned a great deal you never
knew lief ore, you will he compelled
to admit that your neighbor must
indeed be a monster if you cannot
Live him as you love yourself. —
