The Eleventh Annual Reunion of the Confederate Veterans of Anson coun ty, held in Wadwiboro yesterday, was a fine succe&, as has been all the reunions held here. Notwithstanding the weather was threatening the crowd was large, though hardly so large as last year. At 10.30 a. m. the veterans formed in pen order, on South Green street 100 strong. IlereMhe procession was formed. First came Chief Marshal John WGulledge and C pt. .John M. Little who rode between the lines rmed by the veterans. Then came e Roberdel band, which was follow- a company of beautiful young adies, on, horseback, dressed in white nd tarrying Confederate flags. Next ame a number of little girls carriages ontalning the speakers and many adies. The parade was thought to mve been the handsomest we have ver had at a reunion, the mounted oung ladies, especially, adding to its ttractlveness. After the parade the further exer ises were held in the court house, aj. W A. Smith, Commander of inson Camp, presiding. The exer ts were opened with an eloquent id appropriate prayer by Rev. M. . Smith, pastor of the Methodist liurch. Ex-sheriff J. T. Gaddy was the rst speaker. lie paid a high tribute i the Southern soldiers and to the omen of the South. The speech ade a reat hit and we regret that r. Gad,dy did not have it written ' that iV could be reproduced in full the M. A I. -Vol, Dennett next spoke. , He said: dam President!

These are but fractions to the unmeasured and iminacu vnen given to our cause, as hu y swept from headland to head uid stood shotted with expecta JaTfcey are chiefest;auaonjj us. e are here to gather up the frag ments and make the paths straight, The last paper of a public "nature Vltten by ex-President Davis from sick bed, five weeks before hi-j Lth, pertained to the celebration of f Centennial of our Ratification of Constitution of the United States ayettevllle, North Carolina. He tressed his cherished hope to min- witffi this people, bear aloft their hdardof aspiration. He points the last time to the historic colony Ubeinarle, the monuments which rison the rights of the people, iding on the river fronts and ten- ling tribute to the unalienable lits of the people.

Burled In debt, overltorne by usury, they fought a fight unmatched this way. "Soft word lo luolify the inUmr'n brt-ant And lull retaiiting umiry to rent; Bright Ix-amM of wit to Htill the raging Jew, Teach him to dun no more and load anew " These were not their devices. They stood plump struck, and fought lack as never man fought until then. I fetch no idle words to you this day. The day with me is tar spent The shadows forefend. I hear the darkness coining over the bar. I submit to the custody and keep of this glorious chapter of Daughters of the Confederacy the solemn codicil of our President to the history of our Stite. Preserve it: bind It up in na tive wood, wrought by mitlve hands, and, as the years wear away, let not the erosion dull our,, theme nor, abridge aught of Its simple but irre sistable pathos. I commit, with this litany of our virtues graven by the withered hands of the blessed Presi dent a hermit among rulers , a cor respondence all too .brief, now that he is gone. With this he honored me. I pass it to your Association and enjoin that you suffer not the Irreverent to do It hurt, nor take it in vain. The struggle of the South is now a thrice told tale. Nonetheless, Itre joicesthe conscience of our poor human ity.Like the Scripture narrative, it ap peals in "Forma Pauperis", mayhap, but, () Lord! how lightsome. Those who led us in the actual combat of the field were filled with the fire of God; we cannot see their like again How did we honor God and fear evil in the way If It be good to wax fat the vir tues of our kind, to heap up the per fection of our being made manifest through mortals born to an estate of corruption, then all we sorrowed, suffered, lost is of no siernificanc? be' sid4 the immoral names we gave to the world. Sherman defined war as hell and bell as war. . Our ideal in arms . cautioned that every rigor or tne situation be soiteneu by a chivalry worthy of the high estate of the South I would have you recall that the conduct of our people through that period of stress and storm was inspir ed by our best and beauest. No fev ered hand emote the enemy; emy; no unbalanced hosts charged and counter-charged; no extreme counsel jwlsoned the inspiration of our actions by land or upon wave. The best was at the fore, discipline, reverence, obedience, per rank and by file. No reckless hosts were em battled for the conflict. At the last the refiner's fire had given us the temper that neitner breaks nor bends. It was the wearing away till the line was thin ani pale and tatterdemalion.-, And, as the dissolv ing view gave us the eye stroke we thought aloud: , "Because he hath pity on every living crea- . ture, . . y ' . ' -, ' Therefore is a man called holy;' For true nobility standeth in the trade of virtuous life, ; ' ; Not in the fleshy line, For-flesh is blood but gentry is divine." ' At the conclusion of Col. Bennett's address the old eoldeirs, and their wives, and the widows of soldiers re paired to the avenue on West Wade street where a most substantial and bountiful dinner had been prepared for them by the Daughters of the Confederacy. ' Opening of Pee Dee Institute Pee Dee Institute opened last Mon day .with a good attendance. The enrollment . the first day was 130.

Prof. Jackson Hamilton is the newly elected prin cipal and he has with him a corps of teachers whose skill and ability are equal to any similar body of teachers in the state.

The Democratib primaries last Saturday, for the nomination of a candidate for the Legislative, and candidates for county ami township offices, passed off quietly. The eve ning was showery, otherwise the primaries would probably have been very full. About 1,650 votes wre cast against some 1,850. two.years ago. The returns of the primaries were canvassed Monday by Mr. Jas. A. Loekhart, chairman of the county ex ecutive committee, and one poll hol der from each voting precinct of the the county, as follows: Wadesboro No. 1, W. Ij. Steele; Wadesboro No. 2, H. H. McLendon; Lllesville, J. F. Spencer, Morven No. 1. J. E. Moore: Morven No. 2, W. E. Pennington; Wiiite Store, Chas. Richardson: Lanes boro, No. 1, C. F. Bennett: Lanes boro No. 2, J. S. Bivens; Ansonville, S. H. Gaddy. Burnsville was official ly represented, but by consent the re turns presented by Mr. C. W. Thomas, of that township were received and canvassed. , The totil vote, by pre cincts, cast for each candidate is giv en in a table in another column. After canvassing the returns the following gentlemen were declared nominated for Legislative and county offices: Jas. A. Loekhart, for Representa tive. " T. C. Robinson, for Clerk, f J. O. A. Craig; for Treasurer. E. F. Eenton, for Coroner. L. L. Little, J. T. Webb and Jas, A. Hardlson for county commission ers. ' . ' Elijah Gulledge for Cotton Weigher at Wadesboro. No one having received a ma jority of votes cast for register of deeds there was no nomination. A second primary wih be held next Saturday to make the nomination. Under the rules Messrs. C. W. Thomas, of Burnsville and D. M. Johnson, of Morven, are entitled to run in this primary. THREE IN RACE FOR SHERIFF According to the official returns R J Lowry received 567 votes for sheriff, T. S. Clark 523, and S. P. Martin 497. Under the rule which allows a third candidate, who. receives within 25 votes of the second highest candi date for an office, to run in the second primary, Mr. Martin only lacked one vote of being entitled to enter the second race. When the vote for Sheriff was an nounced, Mr. C. F. Berinett of Lanes boro township, stated that one man had voted there who he did not think was entitled to vote. , Some one stated that a vote was cast a't Wades boro In favor of Mr, Clark by a per son not entitled to vote. The Board of Can'vasseis sent for Mr. Martin to ask if he wished to m ' ke complaint He sent word, however, that he was willing to trust the board to do what was right, and did not wish to enter any squabble over the matter. There was a good deal of discussion as to what course i to pursue, and it was understood that there would be chal lenges against persons who had voted for the different candidates for Sher iff. After discussing the matter and consulting with the members of the executive committee who were present, the board of canvassers de cided that under the plan of organi zation they had no right to go back of the returns, and that the poll hold ers were the final judges of the quali fications of the voter. Mr. Lowry said that he wished the vote adopted as returned by the poll holders. Mr. Clark then rose and stated that he had hoped that the board of canvassers would go into the whole matter and that all illegal votes, by whomsoever cast, would be thrown out Dut f'lt ne wished no unfair advantage and being doubtful as to the qualifications of .these two voters, he asked the board of can vassers to throw out two of his votes and allow Mr. Martin to enter the face. Mf. John W. Gulledge made a speech urging the board not to per mit this to be done, but the board decided to allow the votes to betaken off and Mr. Martin will enter the second race with Mr. Clark and Mr. Lowry.

Mr. Tyson was about 60 years of age and was one of the county's best citizens.

Ty son, of Ansonville, township and two daughters, Mrs. Bettie Lee, of Dar lington, S. C, and Mrs. Jennie Tyson, of Ansonville. The interment was at Red Hill, Monday.

The men were told,after their arrest that if they would leave- town at once they would not be pros ecuted, but it seems they preferred not to do this, as they were still in. town after ail the trains had passed, Saturday night. They were again, taken into custody, and Tuesday morning were sent to the roads for a term of 25 days, in default of pay ment of fine and costs amounting to several dollars each.
