VETERANS IN ATLANTA ( - Made Welcome by Thousands of Loyal Georgians. 10,000 MARCHED IN PARADE General Clement Evans Received Ova tion Along the Line of March—Gov ernor Smith Reviews Parade. Atlanta, Ga. —Between banks of bared beads which lined the sidewalks and streets of this city, the sweetest sentiment of the south, crystalized in the Confederate Veterans of Georgia, at their eleventh annual reunion in what has been declared to be the big gest and most successful parade ever held by this organization. It is estimated that there were in line of march between 7,500 and 10,- 00*0 men, women and children, and that this splendid pageant was wit nessed and applauded by 50,000 peo ple, who stood in line and watched the parade, which took an hour and a half to pass a given point. Of this number 3,010 were grizzled veterans of the war between the Con federate States of America and the United States of America, the Observ ed of all observers and the cynosure of all eyes. The lame, the halt and the blind were there. Marching two by two, of tentimes holding he*ds for guidance and support, they we Iked with a firm tread, with uplifted faces, lighted countenances and a buoyancy that lift ed them above those who watched from the side lines. There was a halo and glamor thrown about these heroes of the old south that brought tears to the eyes of many and checked back the cheers of those who wished to give answer to the ringing rebel yell of the men who fought for the cause they knew was right. General Clement A. Evans, Comman der-in-Chief of the United Con federate Veterans. Under a brilliant sun, with the warm October air sending the blood coursing through the veins of all, the parade—and it was a parade of which Atlanta will always be proud —was formed and promptly on time began to move under command of Grand Marshal J. F. Burk, who was mount ed upon a spirited charger. Between the banks of cheering thousands he led the way followed by the young lady riders, and other aides, across the viaduct and in front of the governor’s mansion, where they halted to review the veterans on parade. With hared heads, riding prancing steeds with the ease and grace which made them famous during the dark days of ’6l-’65, came General Clement A. Evans, the idol of the Confeder ates and the commander of the Unit ed Confederate Veterans; General W. A. Wright, who rode a charger, though he lost a leg iii the war, with as much ease as any cavalry officer; Captain R. E. Park, and others. Tlieir approach was signalized far down the line by a rumble cf cheers, like thunder, which grew into a roar as General Evans arrived with head bared, gray hair wind-tossed and a smile as sweet as that of a woman for all. His great gray cloak thrown hack exposing himself to the wintry winds that swept the streets as fear lessly as, when younger, he faced the bullets for the south he loved so well. And when he passed ’twas like the ceasing of some exquisite song. Cheer after cheer greeted him on all sides, and he was made the central figure of the parade. All military stood at “Present” when he rode by. The governor sa- BULLOCH TO TAKE CONVICTS. County Will Have Road Force of Over Fifty Convicts. •Statesboro, Ga. —At the meeting of the county commissioners here, it was recommended that Bulloch county take all the convicts she can get under the new apportionment that will be made upon the expiration of the present lease on March 30th, next. Under the old apportionment this county was entitled to nineteen con victs. Already about thirty-three mis demeanor convicts are at work on the public roads and together with about twenty-five that the county will re ceive as her share of the felony con victs a road force of more than fifty convicts will be available. luted with uncovered head, and re ceived a courtly salute in return. Preceded by old and battle-torn flags, the ones that were riddled with shot and shell, wnippecjf into shreds by the wind and all but gone, the vete rans came, 3,000 strong. To the spectators the sight was a sad one. To veterans the parade was a gala manifestation of a reunited body. Some walking on crutches, oth ers walking on wooden legs, still oth ers hobbling on sticks, others carrying empty sleeves and still others bent with age and blind, they walked with heads held high and faces shining. Ever and anon there would come from one the old rebel yell. It would be taken up by another until it went thundering "down the line and was drowned in the applause of those it thrilled. ‘ Others marched to the tune of their campfire songs, and “Tenting To night,” “Dixie,” “Suwannee ißiver” and “Nellie Gray” were heard on the streets foi* the first time in years. They sing it different from the way it is sung now. The various camps, and there were ninety-two, every one in the state, were represented in the parade. Some of the camps were represented by a single dele gate and others, like the Atlanta camps, were represented by the en tire membership. Five women who went through the war as nurses, either in the field or at the hospitals at home, marched proud ly in the parade with their husbands. It was noticeable and never failed to draw attention. Two old-time negroes, slaves who served in the war as body servants, too marched in the line of parade just a little in the rear of “old marster/’ One toted his knapsack and the other carried a foraged guinea and a shin ing skillet. A number of tb£ veterans wore their confederate gray uniforms and several had the uniforms which they wore at the surrender. At the business session Athens was chosen as the place for the next corn ventlon, and the following officers were elected: Major General Louis G. Young of Savannah, commander of the Geor gia division, United Confederate Vet erans. - , Brigadier General John O. Wad dell of Cedartown, commander of the Northern Brigade of Georgia. Brigadier General Benjamin Mill kin of Jesup, commander of the Southern Brigade of Georgia. Brigadier General J. W. Wilcox of Macon, commander of the Eastern Brigade of Georgia. Brigadier General H. F. Davenport of Americus, commander of the Wes tern Brigade of Georgia. Judge Robert L. Rodgers of At lanta, of the Georgia Divis ion. BOLL GEORGIA. Pest Will Soon State If Not Checkeife^^ Atlanta, Ga.—“ The is traveling from the west g ia at the rate of from seventy-five to one hundred miles a year,” said State Entomologist E. L. Worsham at the state capitol, “and I believe if it is not checked it will reach the cot ton field of Georgia within four or five years.” This statement was prompted by the fact that a monster meeting of the agricultural association, entomol ogists, etc., who are interested in the boll weevil plague, will be held in Natchez, Miss., November 24tli to the 27th, for the purpose of devising some means, if possible, for combatting this menace to the cotton crop. Entomologist Worsham has been in vited to attend this meeting and has accepted United States Secietaij of Agriculture James Wilson will he present, as will the various commis sioners of agriculture throughout the south. , , , . A number of weevils thought to be the boll weevil have been sent to En tomologist Worsham this fall, but upon investigation it has proved that none of them are the dreaded boll weevil, and Georgia is free from this pest up to this date. This department is watching carefully all shipments of cotton seed and cotton seed hulls from the infested districts, and to see that the quarantine law is not evad ed. Because of the boll weevil in the west, these tainted seed and hulls are sold more cheaply than the Geor gia product, which is attracting some of the merchants. Entomologist Worsham urges that cotton seed and cotton seed hulls he purchased in Georgia from Georgians to avoid running any risk. In view of the fact that cotton seed hulls and meal have come to he ac cepted as the best cattle feed in the south, being cheaper and more bene ficial than any other cattle feed, a erreat deal of "interest is attached to the sale of the cotton seed and its by-products. The cotton seed of Geor gia are up to the required standard. BUILD GOVERNMENT ROAD. Roads May Be Constructed to Mili tary Post Near Atlanta. Romo, Ga.—ln the opinion of Hon.

Mr. Lee thinks the county commissioners of Walker county will be favorable to the work ing of convicts and that it will take its quota for that purpose.

There is already about 50 miles of government road in Walker county and a bond issue will give an addi tional 100 miles. RIVERSIDE CAFE OPEN DAY AND NIGHT.
