FOOR WEEKS MORE
TILL THE REUNION
The Auditorium with Seats for 10,000 Is
Nearly Ready.
SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE COMING IM
Meals Must Be Furnished for Three
Days to Thousands.
VETERANS TO BE ONLY GUESTS
The Impression Has Gone Out That
Everybody Will Be Entertained
Free of Charge.
Mr. Anthony Mttnhy, ehairm.tn of the
finance committee, announced at Wednes
day’s molding of tile executive committee
of tlie Confederate Veterans' Reunion As
sociation that citizens had .subscribed about
$5.5'») to tlie fund lor entert lining the vis
itors and paying tlie expenses of tlie
reuni >n.
"lie subscription commit tees arc st'll at
work, and tiny will add to this fund.
Major .1. (’. Hendrix, chairman of tlie
committee on halls, stated that the seats
"'ll all lie in the audi'oriuin in a few days,
ill: thinks that tile auditorium will be
ready by Saturday night of tihis week.
’l’he leunion is less than one month off.
’rile reunion committees ar.- determined to
have everything in readiness for the visit
ors by iie time they come. The comple
tion of Hie auditorium a montn in advance
snows the spirit of the moving spirits in
the reunion.
A question i nnie up over tile extent of the
entertainment to be given by tlie associa
tion. Seen t.iry Waddell said that ho is
getting many letters asking if tin Atlanta
veterans will entertain militaiy companies
and other organizations. Tlii.i matter will
be made clear in an official circular, Hie
substance of which will lie that all V
ans who do not feel able to pay their hull 1
bills while here can have free sleeping
quarter.- and trie meals out ai the exposi
tion park, where the reunion will be held.
All veterans while out at the grounds will
be welcome to meals at '.he commissary.
'They cau .al ail they want, and as often
as Gley choose. It has all along been .as
sumed that the veterans will not want to
leave Hu- park and return to toe di'.y for
dinner. Therefore ample provision will be
made for them to get dinner out at the
park. Hut visitors who are not veterans
"al not get admittance to iie tables. Every
d.iep.te and visiting veteran will 'mile a.
badge stating bis position. That badge will
be all that he Heals to be admitted to the
breaklas:. dinner or supper table:--. No
badges will be furnished to any one except
delegates, other visiting veterans and com
mit tees.
Captain W. 11. Harrison, ehairman of the
badge committee, reported Hint the is. u
am I of i ..Ug. will be guarded very close
ly. fie has ordered about 18,500 badges.
Colonel A. J. Ae. t that m had
received a letter from tin adjutant general
of the Missouri veteran.-, who wrote that no

they will send licit men .n Atlanta.

Key West, Fla., June 29. A vessel ar
rived her., from the blockade this morning
and reported all quiet along the lino. She
brought an officer of the Cuban army and
a pilot, who are carrying important dis
patches to Senor Estrada Palma, of the
Cuban junta, from General Alexandro
Rodriguez, the insurgent command; r of
Havana province.
The Cubans were taken on board Satur
day last from an auxiliary gunboat which
had picked them tip.
The niessengers of General Hodriguez
gave a very interesting account of their
experiences. After having- the insurgent
camp they made their way into tlie city of
Havana, spent sevural days there, pro
ceeded to one of the small inlets in tile
neighborhood, stole a small boat and row
ed out to sea in the hope of coming across
an American vessel. Th y were thr-'e
days in Hie boat before they were picked up.
The Cubans report that there ar no
supplies of rhe. maize, potatoes or eg;;s
in Havana, Flour, they . ay. costs ~0 cuts
per pound, and the army lias been placed
on halt’ rations. Tile messengers clas.s .is
fills? the reports tli.it vessels have suc
ceeded in entering Havana with supplies.
They a.-sert tluit since the blockad. In
gal) onl)’ three small lishing vessels have
entered the Itaibor, and that no food what
ever is received from Cienfuegos.
The Cubans confirm the reports that vv.irk
on Hie defenses of llaV-Hl.l is proc "ling
steadily. Two lim s of torpedoes extend
across tlie mouth of (he Inirbor. which is
said to be further protected by two auto
matic torpedo s. on.’ at each sid.-, dis

Continuing, they say:
"The way the total crop is counted is
by adding tlie receipts at the ports, the re
ceipts at tile int' i’.or towns, the consump
tion at tlie southern mills and what is call
ed the overland movement; namely, that
cotton which is shipped from the south to
New England mills and to Canada by rail.
"You see from this that whatever cotton
may have been left over from the previpus
crop probably figures in tlie current crop,
and also whatever amount of the new
crop that may go into maria. t to September
Ist will also be counted in the crop of 1897-
98. This is as fully as wc can explain the
matter.'’
Their figures on the crop through June
Ht.i .ire 10,758,003. Statistics show tiiat the
new cotton marketed during August, 1897,
amounted to about 200.00(1 bales.
We trust tlie facts and figures so given
will furnish suflieient data for your esti
mate. They are all that .ire to lie had up
to tins date bearing on the contest.
’t'he close of the month of June mark’s

MUCK JEANS FROM GEORGIA.
Captain Kincaid, of Griffin, Gets a
Large Army Contract.
Tlie sold:''.; iii Cuba wdl wear trousers
made of Georgia jeans, manufaettired from
Georgia cotton. Captain Kincaid, of Grif
fin. lias obtained a contract from the gov
ernment for tlie manufacture of 2.090,000
yards of jeans suitable for trousering.
Tlie price is lo be 15 cents a yard, the
whole contract amounting to $300,000.
Ti i:’ is th'' ii l ’’' l contract for tlie manufac
ture of supplies of any kind awarded to
the south so far as known here. Tlie Kin
caid mills at Griffin represent more than
$590,(’i00 of investi ,1 capital and $159,900 more
is being spent, to increase the eapaeiry of
Vhe plant. Tiny employ 600 men. women
and children. They make marly all the
goods used in the skirts of women bicycle
riders. This is m mrnense trade with Hie
mills. They also make more Turkish tow
els than any other plant in tlie United
States and When the new machinery is in
they will mainufaeture more Turkish tow
els at Griffin than are made anyvv.tere else
in tlie world.
Captain Kincaid, the president of the com
pany, sent over to Par's a few months
ago and got some of the prettiest patterns
of Et each dross goods. He has since been
turning out Hie same patterns here in Geor
gia. Captain Kincaid is a progressive busi-
ness man and it can bo said for him that
the (roods 'ho makes for t'he army will be
the best the soldiers get. His mills are
noted for their tin - workmanship and the
high grade of tlie goods. Tlie plant can
handle tire order easily, but it means plenty
of work for some* time, to come.
