MAY HOLD REUNION ON
MANASSAS ANNIVERSARY.
Gen. Evans Writes That This Dnte
Is Being Considered.
Gen. P. A. S. McGlashan has receiv
ed a reply from Gen. Clement A.
Evans regarding the date on which
the general reunion of Confederate
veterans will be held. Gen. Evans
stated that 'the protest of the Geor
gia division against holding the re
union in September would be present
ed to the committee having the mat
ter In charge and that it would be
given careful consideration.
The committee is now in session and
the principal item before it is the date
on which the convention is to be held.
In his letter Gen. Evans said the com
' mittee was seriously considering hold
ing the reunion on July 21, the anni
versary of the first battle of Ma
nassas. Just what decision the com
mittee will reach could not be stated,
but public announcement will be made
as soon as 'the date is definitely de
termined upon.
In concluding his letter Gen. Evans
suggested that no action be taken by
the Georgia division regarding a state
reunion until the National Committee
had acted. I't has been customary to
hold the state reunion in the fall and
the Georgia veterans are opposed to
a change.
A number of veterans who were in
formed that July 21 may be chosen
as the date for the next convention,
stated that this date would be more
satisfactory than the "September date,
but they are opposed to any change
whatever.
"It has always been left with the
committee from the city in which the
reunion is to be held to decide upon
the date,” said one of the Savannah
veterans, “and this is only just. Nev
ertheless. I do not believe in making
such a great change as the one con
templated. It Is always dangerous to
tamper with dates, and especially so
in this case. The spring has been
found the most satisfactory time and
the time which is most convenient to
the great majority of veterans, and
I believe that reunions should still be
held about that time.
"It must be remembered that the
Confederate veterans are situated dif
ferently from the Grand Army of thg
Republic men, particularly in that they
are not held together by a big pen
sion list. Their wishes must be con
sulted. and if It is desired to have
large numbers of them present at the
reunions, the time which is most con
venient should be chosen.”
EIGHT NEW MEMBERS
FOR SAVANNAH COMPANY.
The mass meeting of the Knights of
Pythias, called for last night with a
view to reorganizing the Savannah
Company of the Uniform Rank, did not
materialize to the extent desired and
practically nothing was accomplished.
The difficulty was that practically the
only attendants at the meeting were
those who are already members of the
company. Six or eight new members
filed their applications and they will be
initiated at an early meeting of the
company. Capt. Heilman will probably
make but one more effort to reorganize
the company and in case of failure the
members will join one of the other two
companies and the old Savannah Com
pany will disappear.
KING’S DAUGHTERS’
PETITION “REFERRED.”
Allied for Aknlmliinee for Establish
ment of Home for Incurables.
A petition to City Council from
Circle No. 12 of the Kings Daughters
asking for assistance in the establish
ment of a permanent home for in
curables, was referred to the Commit
tee of the Whole last night.
It was cited that such a home as it
was purposed to establish could be
supported for *I,BOO per year, and
that with the assistance of the city
the Kings Daughters already had as
surances sufficient to warrant them in
establishing it on a small scale.
RELEASED ON CHARGE”OF
BEING EMIGRANT AGENT.
8. J. Fisher, who was arrested on an
affidavit of B. F. Smith, a representa
tive of a labor union, charging him
with doing business as an emigrant
agent, was released by Judge Norwood
in the City Court yesterday.
Fisher was arrested under the tax
act of 1878, which was directed, accord
ing to the decision of the court, at the
carpet baggers who secured emi
grants for speculative purposes, and
not against those who were endeavor
ing to secure laborers out of work for
corporations, handicapped by the lack
of labor.

NEW INDUSTRIES ~
RESULT OF “ADS.”
Many Requests Received for Souve
nir of Savannah.
Mr. W. H. Lamson of Illinois, is in
Savannah seeking suitable farm lands
on which to locate. He was attracted
to SJavannah- by the Greater Georgia
advertisment. He is being assisted in
his search by Secretary W. J. Donlan,
of the Chamber of Commerce.
It is probable that in a short time an
other industry may be secured for
the city through the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce. The secretary
of that organization is now in cor
respondence with a firm of distillers
who are seeking a change of location,
and who show an interest in this sec
tion that promises well for their locat
ing here.
The unmber of inquires that are be
ing received from all parts of the coun
try prove that the city is being brought
to the attention of the people of the
whole country as it never was before.
The beneficial results of this may be
seen in the number of industries, and
new residients, that have already
been received and the interest that
bids fair to bring many others here.
Not the least effective of the advertis
ing that has been done was begun a
short time ago by the Pulaski House
which issued a handsomely illustrat
ed booklet of the city that contains
much interesting information of all
kinds. This book the hotel has ad
vertised in every paper in Georgia and
in many of the weeklies of the North
and West, and in addition has sent
many copies to the passenger men of
the chief railroads entering the city.
Some idea of the interest that has
been excited by the publication is
shown by the fact that already some
three thousand copies have been
sent out and that demands for them
are now being received at the rut
of from ten to twenty a day.
PURSE SNATCHER WAS

W. H. Jones, the negro who was sen

Woodmen to lleglu Drills Noon.
An enthusiastic meeting of the newly

Pythian Castle with nearly all of the
members in attendance. The bids for

pany were opened, but the contract
will not be awarded until to-day. It
was decided to begin drill work at once

ASK VETERANS
NOT TO ACCEPT
ESCORT OF THE MILITARY.
SONS OK VETERANS WANT TO ACT
ON MEMORIAL DAY.

They Cannot Make Proper Show

Dl.tlnctlve Confederate Day—Com
mittee Will Urlug Matter llrfore
Veterans—Several Camps, Report
ed a. lot. In Enforcing Eligibil
ity Rule., AVere Condemned.
A request will be made of the Con
federate Veterans of Savannah not to
accept the services of more than one
military organization, as an escort to
the cemeteries on Memorial Day.
The request will be made in writing
by the Francis S. Bartow Camp, Sons
of Confederate Veterans, in accordance
w ith the action taken at the February
meeting last night. The request is
based on the grounds that, owing to
the fact that many of the Sons are
members of the different mllltury com
panies, they are forced to turn out with
them and, so are unable to march with
the Sons, and that furthermore, the
Sons ot Veterans are the proper ones
to act as escorts on a distinctive Con
federate Day.
The matter was brought before the
camp by Mr. Kent, who called atten
tion to the fact that at the meeting
of Lafayette MoLaws Camp, U. C. V..
on Tuesday night, the matter ot ask
ing the Sons to turn out in as large
numbers as possible, and act as escort,
had been taken up. Though no offi
cial action had been taken on the mat
ter. it was evident that the Veterans
expected the Sons to act as escorts,
and in view of the character of the
celebration, no more fit body could be
secured.
The reason given by the Sons for not
making a belter showing In numbers
on previous memorial days, was that
fully 70 per cent, of their members be
longed to the different military organ
izations, and as these organizatiyns
usually turned out on Memorial Dtty,
it was compulsory with them to march
with the military instead of with the
Sons.
Would Satisfy the Military.
It was further suggested by several
of those present who were also mem
bers of military organizations, that the
military had tendered its services as
an escort mainly as a matter of cour
tesy and they would be perfectly sat
isfied if they were not invited to par
ticipate.
After some discussion the camp de
cided to have the Standing Committee
on Memorial Day Celebrations write to
each of the camps bf veterans in the
city asking them not to accept the
services of more than one military
company as escort on Memorial Day,
in order that the Sons of Veterans
might be better enabled to make a good
showing. The committee was further
empowered to confer with the veterans
in regard to arrangements.
Attention was called to the fa,ct that
many of the camt>s of Sons In Geor
gia and other states were becoming
very lax in regard to the qualifications
for membership. Especial attention
was called to one camp which admit
ted persons to membership on the mere
assertion that they were descendants
of those who had fought in the army
or navy of the Confederate States.
Hal.c Slandnrd uf lump..
Attention was further called to the
tact that the Virginia camps did not
require the applicant to be descended
from one who had fought for the Con
federacy, but admitted those who were
descended from “sympathizers" with
the Confederate cause. This latter ac
tion is in distinct violation of the con
stitution of the order.
After some discussion it was decided
lo instruct the delegates to the Na
tional and State Federations to re
quest that some action be taken to
put a stop to this practice, and that a
clause be Inserted in the constitution
making it compulsory for applicants to
prove that they were descended of
actual participants in the war in eith
er the Confederate army or navy.
In addition Adjt. Miller was instruct
ed to inform 'the national body that
the Savannah camp was strongly op
posed to any relaxation of the require
ment of eligibility. He was also in
structed to ask other camps for an ex
pression of opinion on the matter and
to instruct their delegates to the Na
tional Federation to take a definite po
sition regarding the question.
Picture of Floral Trlliale.
Comrade Harry T. Beckett, who car
ried the floral emblem of the camp to
Gen. Gordon's funeral at Atlanta, pre
sented the Savannah camp with a
handsome picture of the Savannah
delegation and the beautiful emblem
which they carried. On motion a vote
of thanks was extended to the donor
for his kindness.
The thunks of the camp was also ex
tended to Comrades Beckett and
O’Mara for their efforts on the night
of the entertainment to the Confederate
veterans of the city.

W. T. Rainey Ha. 110 UK 111 tlie Point
Place Which He Will Improve.
Mr. W. T. Rainey, who reached Sa
vannah yesterday from New York, will
shortly become the possessor of one of
the most desirable locations for a sum
mer home at any of the nearby salt
water resorts. He has concluded ar
rangements for the Point Place, at
Montgomery, formerly the property of
the late Dr. L. A. Falllgant, and will
probably take possession of it so soon
as the necessary papers have been
signed and recorded.
The Point Place has a frontage ofi
the water of about 250 feet and a
depth of some 1,500 feet. There is a
residence now op it, but it is under
stood to be Mr. Rainey’s intention to
make improvements that will greatly
change and add to the attractivenesa
and comfort of the house, if he does
not build anew one, and that he will
develop and beautify the surrounding
grounds.
Negotiations for this property have
been on for about a year. The ne
gotiations have been uonducted on the
part of Mr. Rainey by Mr. Julian
Schley. Mr. Rainey bought some time
ago the Way place at Beaulieu. It is
understood that he will dispose of this,

Miss Pauline Armstrong, 1328 Cutter
street. Cincinnati, 0., financial secre
tory Royal Templars of Temperance
writes: •
“My head had troubled me for some
months and I was much annoyed to
find that the many douches and medi
cines I took did not break up the ca
tarrh. I noticed your ads in the pa
pers and thought perhaps Peruna
would help me get rid of this catarrh.
A few doses certainly relieved me and
I began to breathe through my nose,
and soon I did not have to spend a
half hour every morning trying to
clear my head. You cannot Imagine
how pleased I was to find that at the
end of three weeks I was rid of my
trouble, which I had been vainly try-
gomery property. The Point Place has
been the summer home of Dr. Fallt
gant's family for a number of years.
The coming summer they will spend
at Ship Yard. ,
CAN ANY WAR
BE. JUSTIFIABLE?
Editor Morning News: It is the pres
ent fashion not to attempt to justify
war, but on general principles to con
demn it, and this is the outcome of an
advancing civilization which recog
nizes the import of the Divine Com
mand: "Thou shalt not kill!” But
from many sources come the saving
clause, we may defend ourselves from
attack! And the statement seems rea
sonable until subjected to the test of
analysis.
What constitutes a "defensive war?"
and how inav it be avoided?
The people of the North affirm that
"Sherman's march through Georgia
was a necessary part of defensive
war; only by this means could the Un
ion be preserved, while the Southern
people hold that their position was that
of a people defending their own home
and fireside, and the latter statement
seems the more reasonable, but we af
firm as wholly true that there has not
been for a century a war which could
not, and should not, have been avoided.
Truly the need Is for an aroused pub
lic sentiment which will condemn all
wars, all preparation for war this must
come, if it come at all from the pul
pit, from the press, and from those
who lead and control public sentiment
with a view to it* advancement. What
has plucky, foolish little Japan to gain
from its attack upon Russia? And what
a loss must come to her and to her peo
pU v ,
A German writer has said: “A great
war leaves a nation with three armies,
an army of mourners, an army of crip
ples, an army of thieves;” who that has
observed the course of events will doubt
or dispute the truth of the writer.
The responsibility for most wars
rests not alone upon the immediate be
iigerants, but largely upon those who
stand idly by, or who by word or deed,
encourage the spirit of war.
So long as men defend "defensive
wars," so long tyrants will find a blank
et wide enough to cover every conllict
which their selfish ambition induces
them to force upon a confiding people.
If we once proclaim the absolute free
dom ot trade, all the world over, the
chief Inducement to territorial expan
sion and robbing a weaker power will
disappear and the fraternal spirit will
grow with the exchange of products
unhindered by robber tariffs and vex
atious laws.
Impress upon the mind of the little
child that' murder Is evil, whether it
be in private quarrel or as a soldier
Invading the home of his neighbor.
Teach the sacredness of human life,
and Ilfs will become better worth liv
ing. Briefly cease to call ‘‘evil good and
good evil;” be honest and. though
wars are sacred by reason of their an
tiquity. und we have learned to con
sider them a necessity, yet we have ad
vanced far beyond any need for thorn,
or for any preparation for war.
