spirator in the Terre Haute electioh

reared badly. T simply haven’t words
to express my feelings in referring to
that man (Eli Redman) His conduc t
has been unspeakable He was a man
high in office, but he turns his back
on undisputed facts and still hangs
onto his job. If Hilton Redman had
not been so active in this case I would
be inclined to be more lenient."

A unique plan of regarding in a.
sentimental way the men who fought
for the cause of the Confederacy has
been launched by J. M. Williams, of
Memphis, who recently was appointed
paymaster general, with the rank of
brigadier general, of the United Con
federate Veterans.
The plan t6 to collect $2,000,000 in
the currency of the Confederate States
of America and distribute it among
the veterans at the reunion at Rich
mond, Va.. which likely will be the
last official gathering of the veter
ans.
General Williams, in letters sent out
to the camps of veterans over the
South, says that while the Confeder
ate money, of course, is of no value,
! he thinks that the sentiment carried
with the idea will at least delight the
I hearts of the men who fought so long
ami so valorously with scarcely a cent
of compensation, and prove a worthy
reminder of the appreciation of their
sendees to the Southland
. General Williams’ letter is as fol
lows.
"Possibly you have noticed General
Bennett H Young has appointed me
paymaster general, with the rank of
brigadier general, and I am making
an effort (and have met with some
success) to raise a good bunch of old
Confederate rponey with which to pay
off the old sbldiers af the Richmond
reunion This is one of my hobbies,
and it meets with popular favor, and
I know.lt will be highly appreciated
by the old veterans at the Richmond
reunion
“T will ask you to notify your • a-
rious camps as promptly as possible
to get up as much of this old sacred
money as possible and send It to me
at once. No. 400-401 Bank of Com
merce Building. Memphis. Tenn.
"T will place every donor on ihe
honor roll, and these names will be
announced at the reunion. Will you
do this'*
"1 will want at least $2.00,0000.
Yours very truly.
J M WILLIAMS.
Paymaster General. U. C. V.’’
