THE ALAMANCE GLEANER.
Jacksonville, Fla.—Confederate sol
- dlers, the world over, revere the name
of Andrew Jackson, and In view of the
* fact that their next reunion is to be
held in the only city In the South that
J, was named in honor of that great and
brave man, his services In freeing
Florida from the blight of Indian bar
barism will be of interest
, Jacksonville was named for Gen.
i Andrew Jackson as a compliment and
mark of appreciation for services he
rendered to civilization In the Semi
nole War. There could have been no
progress or civilization In Florida but
for the work of Andrew Jackson. Con
ditons in this territory In 1818, nearly
a hundred years ago, demanded the
services of a brave and resolute man.
Gen Jackson was selected by tt>e gov
ernment as the one man above all
others to head the movement agalnsl
the Seminole Indians, who had beer
terrorizing the territory for severa.
years and committing atrocities of tht
most brutal character.
In March, 1818, Gen. Jackaon waa
ordered to the site of the Seminole
War. He invaded East Florida, and
In a campaign of less than six weeks
crushed these Indians. It Is related

union at Jacksonville In May.
1 by historians that in one village, not
far removed from Jacksonville, h*
found 300 scalps of men, women and
j children, many of them still fresh,
hanging on a war pole. Gen. Jackson
knew that the Spaniards were In sym
pathy with the Indians in- their attacks
on American settlers. After cleaning
up a number of Indian villages he cap
tured the Spanish post of St. Marks.
For this act he was severely censured
by his government. However, the
naked fact Is that "Old Hlekory"- was
more courageous than the men who
were conducting the affairs of state
at Washington.
Early in May, 1818, Gen. Jackson
closed his campaign against the Sem
lnoles in East Florida. He had com
pletely broken their power and run
them out of the territory. They caused
no more serious trouble.
During his campaign in East Florida
Gen. Jackson obtained satisfactory ev
idence that Spanish officers at Pensa
cola were In sympathy with the In
dians. He promptly decided to march
against them and teach them a lesson.
I The Spanish governor of West Florida,
i learning of Oen. Jackson's purpose,
sent him a written protest against his
Invasion. This protest is now on ill*
among the Jackson documents In
charge of" the Tennessee Historical
Society at Nashville. The protest was
delivered to Oen. Jackson near Pensa
cola on May 2S, but It had no effect en
that determined man. In reply he s«nt
a peremptory demand for the Imme
diate surrender of Pensacola and Bar
rancas. Jackson advanced Immediate
ly on Pensacola and possessed It Two
days later the Barrancas garrison
capitulated, were received as prison
ers of war and sent to Havana.
Having thus snatched both East and
West Florida from the Indians and
Spaniards, Oen. Jackson at once pro
ceeded to establish a provisional gov
ernment under the stars and stripes
Having accomplished this, he return
ed to Tennessee, then his home.
In 1822 a number of pioneers h*ld
a meeting here and decided to start
the work of building a town. The vil
lage WEB then known as the Cow Ford,

After perfecting an organisation, the
Incorporation unfurled the banner of

men to live here.

JACKSONVILLE
AND THE REUNION
Veterans Will Find a Modern,
Progressive City
Many Points of Historic Interest To
Bo Visited By Survivors of Gray
Army During Week.
Jacksonville, Fla.—When the Con
federate veterans and their friends as»
semble here for their 24th annual re
union, they will be Introduced to a city
and community, pioud of the present
and loyal to the ideals of the old South.
Making Jacksonville the hub of a
wheel twenty-five miles in diameter,
• territory is covered rich in historic
associations and Interest and
same time a fit exponent of all that'
is progressive In the Southern States.
Jacksonville is a city of 85,000 popu
lation, with handsome business blocks,
modern skyscrapers, commodious ho
tels and residence sections that com
pare favorably with the best In the
country. The city's business ha»
grown into large proportions, embrac
ing every line known to a moderi
city. Jacksonville of to-day is in al
respects a thriving center of tradt
and commerce, much oj its commerct
going across the seas into foreign
countries on ocean steamships. It*
transportation facilities are superb,
both by rail and water. Railroads
feeding the great Florida Peninsula
center here. Thousands of
and uncounted tons of freight pass*
through the city and port every year,
the one hunting health and pleasure,
the other scattering out over the civil
ized world to do its part in supplying
the demands of the consumers of the
earth.
And while the visitors are enjoying
this view and prospect of modern
business and community thrift, they
will be given an opportunity to look
down the past threef hundred and fifty
years. All of this territory was in dis
pute three and a half centuries ago
between the French and Spanish, with !
the wild Indian holding the balance of
power between the combatants. The
Frenchman and the Spaniard both laid
claim to the Florida territory. Which
was first to discover It is a matter
over which historians differ, but it Is
well authenticated that the first white
men to set foot upon the soil now cov
ered by Jacksonville were Frenchmen
under Rene Laudonnere.
The first white man to enter the
month of the St. Johns river was
Jean Rlbault, in command of a com
pany of Huguenots, who had left
France because of religious persecu
tions. He made his landing on May
1, 1562, fifty years after the landing
of Ponce de Leon at a point to the
south of Jacksonville. Bome histori
ans are of the opinion that Ponce d«
Leon sailed as far north as the mouth
of the St. Johns, but the weight of
evidence Is against this opinion. II
he were here he left no trace. The
evidence Is that be did not travel Ir.
• direction from his original landing
that would have brought him to the
vicinity of Jacksonville. It is tbor
oughly established that Rlbault en
tered the mouth of the St Johns river
May 1, 1562, and sailed up the rir*r
tome mlies tp a bluff, where be erect
ed a stone column on which was in
scribed the arms of France. But Rl
bault did not ascend the river as high
as Jacksonville. He went from the
mouth of the river to Port Royal, S. O.
In 1664, one year after the depar
ture of Ribault, Rene Laudonnere,
who bad been with Rlbault on the
first expedition, came to the mouth of
the Bt Johns with another colony of
Huguenots, and ascended the river as
tar as the present site of Jacksonville,
camping probably oa tbe south sMe of
the river on territory now covered
by South Jacksonville. These were
the first white men to penetrate tbe
country above the mouth of the river
In honor of the day of discovery, Ma»
1, Rlbault gave the river tbe name ol
May, and this stood until tbe Span
iards whipped out the French, some
years later. Tbe Spaniards called It
tbe River Sam Mateo at first, but later
changed Its name to San Juan. From
this it finally became tbe St. Johns.
Old Fort Caroline waa situated at St.
Joba's bluff some miles below the ,
city of Jacksonville. No sign of this
historic fort remains, not even a slab ,
to commemorate Its mournful story. ,
During the reunion, steamboat ex
cursions will be run to all these points ;
of historic Interest on the! St Johns 
river. H is but twenty-seven miles ,
from Jacksonville to the mouth of the i,
St. Johns, where tbe government.has ,
constructed, with the aid of Jackson-' •
vllle, and the State of Florida, a sys
tem of Jetties, deepened tbe water oa ,

I ville and the Jetties, the visitor will
have no trouble locating the sites of
I old forts that were erected nearly four
hundred years ago by the French and
' Spanish. The trip is one of the most
delightful In the Southern States.
While Jacksonville has not adver
' Used itself as a large manufacturing
city, of recent years many large indus
trial plants have been established, giv
ing employment to 5,000 wage-earners
■ and turning out $14,000,000 to $15,000.-

WILL INVADE FLORIDA
i
Twenty-fourth Annual Reun
ion At Jacksonville
Dates Fixed for May 6 to S, Inclusive,
and ths Metropolis of Florida Makes
Elaborate Preparations To Rseelvs
Guests.
Jacksonville, Fla.—The 24th annual
reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans, Sons of Confederate Vet
erans, and all allied organizations, will
be held in Jacksonville, Fla„ May 6,
7 and 8. Already the progressive, pub
lic-spirited citizens of Jacksonville are
making preparations to receive and
entertain tbe veterans and all visitors
at the reunion. It la Jacksonville's
ambition to break all reunion records
in point of attendance and entertain
ment, and to this end every energy
of this thriving, modern city will be
directed. Every effort will be put
forth to make them feel at home, and
to enjoy their stay in the Oateway
City of Florid ». Hotels, boarding
houses and private homes will be open
| to the reunion delegates and visitors.
All who come will be cared for. The
best that Jacksonville can do will not
be too good for the thousands of vis
ttors who will attend this reunion.
Jacksonville will impress tbe vis
itors with all the force of Andrew
Jackson, for whom the city was
named. In return for valuable serv
ices rendered the state in Its Indian
troubles by Oeu. Jackson, tbe city was
named in his honor. From a village
of 1,600 population I year after the
close of the war, Jacksonville has
grown Into a modern city of 85,000.
There is no more progressive city In
the South. It Is thoroughly abreast
of the times, a throbbing and thriving
center of trade and commerce. By
reason of its location, its railway facili
ties, Its resources snd Its enterprise,
Jacksonville luoms big a* tbe Oateway
of Florida and commands tbe trade of
a vast and constantly expanding ter
rltory. Thousands of tourists from tbe
northern sections of the country pas*
through Jacksonville every fall to seek
warmth and pleasure along the famed
East Coast. All of them stop at Jack
eonvllle, spending a part of their vaca
tion time enjoying tbe many attrao
tlons that tbe city and community af
fords. This constant stream of trave
baa made Jacksonville better ant
more favorably known than any ell)
on the Atlantie coast. Recognlzlni
tbe opportunities for profitable buai
ness and Investments, new citizens art
acquired every year—active, progres
alve young men, wltb brain and cap
Ital, who Join la tbe work of making
Jacksonville a worthy product of the
20th century.
Jacksonville la a new city, and yet
It la old. If one reads tbe Antiquities
of Florida, be flnde that tbe territory
BOW covered by this marvelous city
was fougbt over nearly four hundred
years ago by tbe sturdy adventurers
of tbe IMb century. The early settle
ments of the Florida peninsula bad
their geaeela aad origin la tbe rellg
ious troubles experienced by tbe
Huguenots under Charles IX. king of
Frane. Jean Rlbault headed the llrst
expedition to tbe new World In lt(2
for tbe purpose of founding a oolony
on »hat la now the Bast Coaat of
Florida. These adventurers llrst land
ed at tbe mouth of tbe St Johns river,
twenty-live miles below the present
city of Jacksonville Here they erect
ed s monument, bat nfterwarde sailed
up tbe coast snd established a settle-1
ment at Port Royal, South Carolina.
This settlement was abandoned after
a stormy year wltb the Indians. An-,
other expedition came to tbe East,
.Coast from France In IM4. This ad-'
venture waa beaded by Laudonnere.
His first landing was at tbe present
site of St. Augustln* but In a short
time he sailed np tbe coast aad enter-
Ed (ho 31. livei. ,'.*,JUIT half
way between the mouth of the St.
, Johns and the presint city of Jack
! lonvllle the expedition erected a fort
and named It Fort Caroline. King
. Philip 11.,-of Spain, through hatred ol
the religious faith of the Huguenots,
sent an expedition to Florida to drive
out the French. Fort Caroline fell be
; fore an attack by this expedition. The
> site of this old fort Is but a few miles
below Jacksonville. History is full
of evidences that both the French and
Spanish brought their warships as far
up Johns river as Jacksonville.
They were the first white men to set
foot on Eas^Florlda.*
During * (he Confederate reunion
Steamboat excursions will carry vet
erans and visitors to these points of
historic Interest on the beautiful St.
Johns river, which bounds the city of
Jacksonville on the south. A boat
ride on this river Is worth coming
miles to enjoy. In many respects It fa
the most wonderful body of water In
America. It Is a river of sensations,
fed by never-falling springs. At points
above Jacksonville It reaches a width
of five or six miles, and It Is doubtful
If at any point between Jacksonville
and i'alatka It Is lei* than a mile wide.
The Indians called It Welaka, mean
ing, In their tongue, "chain of lake*."
The St.- Johns Is navigable for about
200 miles, and palatial steamers make
regular trips from Jacksonville to the
head of navigation. The largest ocean
going vessels come to Jacksonville
with passengers and freight from all
parts of the world. The traffic that
this river brings to Jacksonville- Is an
ImporUr. 1 factor In Its business, and
the river Itself is * wonderful and de

May 6, 7 and 8 To Be M*morabl*

targe Crowd A**ur*d the Reunion
City.
Jacksonville, Pla. —Southern social
circles are again taking an Interest
In the great social, military and sen
timental annual meeting that brings
together a crowd of from 75,000 to
150,000 people to do bonor to the ex-
Confederate soldier—the reunion o(
the survivors of the Confederate arm
ies.
The reunion Is to be held this year
at Jacksonville, Fla., May (, 7, 8 In
clusive. It I* the first time that the
ex-Confeder*tei have (elected Florida
a* the reunion atate, and uncommon
Interest attaches to the' meeting here
and throughout the South. Owing IP
the comparatively early date of the
reunion, the divisions, brigades and
camps made their appointment* of
sponsors and maids early, and tbete
ladles compose the social aids of tbe
reunion. Tbey are known as tbe offi
cial ladles of the meeting, entertained
as such, and courted by tbe entire so
cial fabric .of the Boutb.
Tbe Sons of Confederate Veterans,
following In tbe footsteps of tbelr fa
thers, maintain organisations In ev
ery Southern atate, and bold their f
union* on the same date*. Tbey ap
point sponsors and maids of bonor.
The' two organisations, closely allied,
therefore, send to each Confederate
reunion several hundred official ladles,
■elected from the best families of tbe
South, that (tand -high In the social
I scale la their commanltlM. .

. therefor*, for a Confederate reunion j
! I* a task that demands tbe best of
talent In the entertainment line.
There must be dinners, receptions,
balla, trip* to points of interest around
the reunion cltle* and anything el*e
In the line of social entertainment tbe
committee may devise. Tbe crown
fag event of the week In society, j
however, fa tbe annual bail for maida
and sponsors. If the reunion fa held
In a city where a hall large enough
te accommodate several hundred danc
ing couples at once can not be se
cured, a dancing pavilion Is construct- ,
ed for the occasion. This pavilion
conafat* of a large canvas tent, well
floored and lighted; It 1s also supplied
with comfortable seats on tbe grand
stand order, where aeveral thousand
spectators may wltneee the ball. If
a reader has not seen one of these an
nual balls at a Confederate reunion
he has but limited Idea of Its site and
brilliancy. Nothing to equal It in
splendor can be seen In tbe United
States, unless It be tbe Inauguration
ball at the national capital, now fallen
into social desuetude. If the Inaugu
ration ball fa put out *f tbe contest,
the annual ball of tbe Confederate re
union, at which the maids gnd spon-
sors noiu sw-ajr, is ine' greatest: social
function of United Staffs.
The social side of the Jacksonville
reunion will be participated In by rep
resentatives of all Southern States,
the border states aftd a few western
A commonwealths. There are sixteen
' state divisions of the United Confed
erate Vetcraps' Association, as fol
lows: South Carolina, North Carolina,
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland,
Louisiana, Tennessee, Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi, Oeorgls, Kentucky,
' Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Ar
i kansas. Each state sends large dele
gations of young women to tbe re
union, selected with regard to their
social standing at borne. In addition
to the state delegations, the com
mander-in-chief has his own official
ladle*, chosen from the South at large.
There are three known
aa the Army of Northern Virginia de
partment, Army of Tennesiee depart
ment and Tran*-Mi**l**lppl depart
ment. Each department appoint*
maid* and sponsors and sends them to
all reunions. - The scope of country
covered -by these many organisations
has about half the population of the
United States; hence, the Interest In
a Confederate reunion l« always .wide
, spread. Society circles In all of this
territory are Interested In tbe Jack
sonville reunion, and tbe event will
. bring bere one of the largest crowds
of young people ever assembled In
the South. Florida appeals to the
young, because of Its flowers and Its
wonders —Its poetry. Its songs and Its
attractive history. Rivers and ocean,
gulf and bay* have Interest all their
own. The palm and the pine, llveoak
and holly, and a hundred other fgpest
trees tbat abound throughout the
state as nowhere else on tbe conti
nent, Invest Florida with an interest
as wide as the nation. Greater Inter
est attaches to tbe Jacksonville re
union than to any recent meeting of
the Confederates, and preparations are
being made to entertain a large
crowd of people In May.

about 85,000. The assessed value of
