V, - held our reunion in Pittsboro May 8 and .elected T. Y.Mims commander and W. A. Ellington assis tant commander. The following reso lutions were passed: Whereas, There are now only a few veterans of the civil war living and, Whereas, The ones that are on this side the 'grave, on account of age and broken health, are unable to earn a liv ing; and; Whereas, We believe it-is the desire of the taxpayers of this stateto in some way care for each one of us; therefore, be it ; . Resolved, That we ask the legislature at its special session this year to place all veterans of the civil war on the pen sion list of one class or the other. The following, was also adopted: "Whereas, There are only a few vet erans living and all on borrowed time, for the youngest is in his seventy-fourth year. Knowing what counts most in the life to come is what we do for oth ers; and, Whereas, Having the good things so bountifully given to us todayrby the U. D. C, we wish to return .Tjnto them our thanks for the bountiful dinner that we. so much enjoyed. May Heav en's blessings rest on all that aided in it and when the roll is called up yonder may all of them hear, "Enter thou into the joys of the Lord and rest forever." We had a fine dinner and then heard Judge Bond, who delivered one of the best speeches ever heard in Pittsboro. I want the names and addresses at once of every veteran in Chatham coun ty be sent to me and let me know if they are going to attend the reunion at Fayettevilla June' 1, 2 and 3, so I can send identification cards which they must have to secure the reduced rates. W. A. FLLINGTON, ' Box 122, Pittsboro, N. C. - THE REUNION fock'Man mage" tonight'. Mr. Taf t Doesn't Want It William Howard Taf t, former president, has eliniinated him self definitely as a . presidential possibility, according to a letter written by him to David Herriott, retired newspaper publisher of Chicago. . Mr. Taf t's letter was in an swer to an appeal from Herriott to enter the Republican presi dential race in support of the peace treaty, to which Mr. Taft replied that "my attitude to ward the treaty has put such a proposal out of the range of prac tical possibilities.' V Mrs. Willie J, Durham, of Roscoe, has re.tcrned home from a week's visit to her daughter, Mrs David T. Harris, of Pamlico county. . . Only a Few of the Old Vets . Wore Here Because of the rain, but few Confederate ve'.erans and their wives attended the reunion held at Pittsboro here last Saturday, yet never in the history of the county have the few veterans who did attend'had a more enjoy able time. V At 12:30 the Boy Scouts as sembled and the bugler blew mess call. At the sound of the bugle the veterans and their F wives and others assembled in the court house to. enjoy a din ner prepared by the Daughters of the Confederacy. The bless ing being asked by Rev. P. D. Woodall, pastor of the Methodist church. All agreed that it was the best dinner that they had ever enjoyed. Assembly was sounded at 2:15 and all marched to the auditorium of the court house. The meet ing was called to order by mas-; ter of ceremonies, Mr. W. R. Thompson; and after singing Dixie, the audienee was lead in prayer by the Rev. Mr.. R. M. Phillips, pastor of the Presbyte rian church. On behalf of the Daughters, the veterans were welcomed by Solicitor W. D. Siler. In a short, brilliant speech, Mr. Siler paid the highest trib ute to the gallantry of the Con federate heroes. : Mr. Victor Johnson in a most gracious manner then presented Judge W. M. Bond of Edenton, who delivered the most forceful address that was ever delivered to the Confederate veterans of Chatham county. From, the firsf sentence until the last he held his, audience spelled bound. Af ter picturing in the most vivid language the heroic deeds of the Confederate soldier, he turned to the heroism displayed after they returned to t:. eir homes, ragged and hungry, with all gone except honor and a sense of duty. He then, gave a con cise review of the development of the south and especially in North Carolina, up to the pres ent time, paying the highest tribute to the veterans of the re cent war. With feelings of emo tion, he modestly mentioned that his own son no. w sleeps in the Argonne Forest. jMrs. Henry A. London ther made an excellent short speech of thanks in behalf of the Daugh ters of the Confederacy. In a brief speech, Senator W. P. Horton paid the highest trib ute to the Confederate dead. He declared that no language, or words could describe the unsel fish heroism that those men, now sleeping on the battle . fields and in our cemeteries had displayed; no monuments that could be erected tell of their glory and suffering. After reading an announce ment that the state reunion would be at Fayetteville on the 1st. 2nd and 3rd of June, Solici tor W. D. Siler announced that the county commissioners would be glad to pay v the expenses of the Confederate veterans co this reunion. Resolution was then read by Mr, W. A. Ellington, thanking the daughters of the Confederacy for the excellent program, de claring that the dinner and the speeches and the songs were the best that they had had the pleas ure to enjoy. Then the bene diction was pronounced by the Rev. W. E. Allen, rector of the Episcopal church. All marched out in front of the Confederate monument and paus ed for a few minutes to listen to a short excellent speech by the Hon. A. C. Ray. Mr. Ray ex plained that the monument was a tribute to the memory of every Confederate soldier, both- living and dead in Chatham county. All stood with uncovered head, town fcnd decorated the graves of every Confederate soldier. Never has a reunion been more entertaining and helpful, both to the Confederate soldiers and all who attended. It is with a feeling f sadness, however,' that at each reunion the number of the dear old veterans grows smaller and smaller. ' Only a few more years and they will be with us no more, yet as long as time shall -last their memories will be cherished and reverenced. THE WOMAN'S CLUB ..-,.. Statement and Recommenda tions by the President Believing that no organization can realize if s highest ideals without hav ing a definite policy, I, as the presi dent, beg to submit the following state ment and recommendations for the con sideration by the Woman's Club of Pitts boro: As I understand it, the Woman's Club of Pittsboro Was organized for the im provement of our town along all lines of development educational, social, physical, moral, financial and, mayhap, political. I believe that the develop ment of these basic principles depends solely upon the co-operative efforts of each individual, because no chain is one whit stronger than its weakest link.. I accepted the chairmanship of this club because I am interested in our town, and because I believe that through our united efforts vre can. render valuable service to it. The faults which we all see and know and say should be reme- j died but which because there Happen to be no particular persons or organiza tions' business fai), to be attended to. are some of the things which we as a club should consider and remedy. .1 therefore recommend the following as a basis of our year's work, and sue gest that we accomplish no less than these, more if possible: - First: Since everything of a : busi ness or social nature within the pro vince of the club must be passed upon at its regular or special meetings. sincerely urge tnat every woman in town make a special and continuous ef fort to be present at all thesr meetings. Second: That the chairman of the various branches of the club select their committees only after serious consider ation of the work to be done that she may be sure to have an efficient com mittee. Third: That every department of the club set for itself a special work to be done in a given time. Because I have been intimately associated with the school and know its needs, I give as an illustration ' of the foregoing, a suggestion for the literary department! (A) Few good reference books on his tory and literature would be invaluable to the work for students and teachers in the high school. (B) That the health, department should thoroughly investigate conditions j of the so-called sanitary tojlets of the school and jn town, and see that they are installed everywhere necessary. I am also anxious to see the common some Of them, now for several .drinking cup discarded, especially in r, i- v. i jthe school.. This department should years.

C. Harrison, divisional di visional director of the organiza tion. At a convention in St. Louis last December, the committee of 48 adopted a platform and a statement of aims. The com mittee expects 2,000 of its mem bership of 50,000 to attend the convention. , "The new parly, representing the needs and hopes of average American man and woman, will conduct an active campaign against both the reactionary old parties and in support of a con structive program of economy, social and political progress, " the announcement sent out states. The statement declared that the time had came for 4 'lovers of the real America to organize themselves anew, ' ' to . form a "new political party to restore to Ameica constitutional rights through which the government shall be made responsive to the will of the people." Pay Teachers by the Year The board of trustees of the Smithfield graded schools has adopted the plan of paying teach ers by the year, paying one twelfth of their salary- each month beginning with the first month of the school year.
