than seven thousand veterans
and a much larger number ol spon

were present today at the ': opening
of the" twenty-third ; annual United
Confederate Veterans -reunion.'.
Threatening clouds for a time
led many to fear that the eleborate
program for the first day might be
interferea with, but later the sun
flashed through the clouds and
sparKled . on tiie bright accoutre
ments Qf uie Unitea btates cavalry.
As the troops rode' along Market
street to tne accompaniment of
martial music, there was a striking
contrast between the dapper young
soldiers and the grizzled veterans

the spectacle.
Led by Col. James Lobkett, the
cavalrymen from Fort Oglethorpe

the city in the vicinity of Chica
mauga park. Winding inland out
among tne streets 01 tne city they
iinally passed in review before the
stands which had been erected

the business district.
After witnessing the parade, a
majority ot the large crowd proceed
ed to the city and auditorium,

where welcoming addresses and re-
'gathering of the. veterans organiza

A number ot interesting events
are scheauiea lor this alteraoon
and tonight. These include the
sponsers and visitors at Warner
park this afternoon, while tonight
the veterans will be guests of the
rUnited Daughters ol the Confeder
acy at a reception.
GOV. HOOPER'S ADDRESS.
The veterans were welcomed on
behalf of Tennessee by Governor
Ben W. Hooper, who, while trusting
that the wisdom, of diplomacy
and the justice .of aibitration may
restrain the passions oi war until
the prince oi peace shall have
gained supreme possession of the
hearts of men wished that "if this
hope cannot be yet realized" the re
public might have as her defenders
such men as her confederates were
fifty years ago. " . .
We of this generation," he said
which has come on since the war
of these sixties, snould not forget J
tha the soluiers on both sides of
that contest drank to the bitter
dregs a cup which had been pre
pared for tnem before- they were
born and which otherwise might
have been passed on to us. The
war between the states was anin
herited war. 1 he seeds of inevit
able conflict had been sown in pur
federal constitution at its very in
ception, and the aged men we see
here today were fated to live at a
time when these seed should spring
up and bring forth their - awful
fruitage of civil war."
Confederate chieftains were paid
a tribute by Governor Hooper.
MI deem it the proud privilege of
a lifetime " he told v.". the veterans
and visitors, "to welcome to Tenne

for the two years of office was dis
approved. AGAINST MORE PAY.
Dr. Alexander offered an amend
ment to increase the present ' per
diem of $4 per day for sixty days

much discussion and disagreement.
.Most of the members were op
posed to any proposition of increase
in pay.
It was finally determined to re
port this to the 'full committee
without prejiduce.
INITIATIATIVE REFERENDUM
The Justice bill to provide for
the initiative and referendum was
apparently secure of recommenda

committee at 7 o'clock took a rer.
cess until 8:30 to further consider

TRAIN KILLS : JAN.
Cherokee Scout.
;Tfain .Na 19, nn the Southern
Railway in charge of Conductor
Johnson and Engineer Redfern, due
here at 955 p. m., ran over. Joe
Gibson, a well known white man,
last Monday night . about a mile
from town, completely severing the
head and otherwise manigling the
body. - s
The train was rounding the curve
near the 121 mile- post, when the
engineer saw what he thought was
a pile of cinders; a little closer he
saw a man's foot and applied the
emergency brakes, but could not
stop untd his engine had passed.)
over the body. He got down , and.
looked under the train; found, head-
on one side of rail and body oh
other side; very little blood, "which
was clotted; body not as warm as
it 8nouia nave been it man .was
alive when struck by train.
So far it is not known how Gib
son met his death; whether he was
murdered and the body placed .on
the railroad track: or whether he
was drunk and lay down on: the
track and fell asleep. Witnesses
testified that desceased drank some
cider, cherry dope and somelbitters;
but did not seem drunk, though he
staggered a little was last seen
alive about an hour before train
time near place where body was
found. Witnesses testified to hear-
ing parties passing homes before
train time nnarrpUnd anH rnreird
but did not' recognize voices; also
that pistol shots were heard in that
neighborhood. Deceased
several that he had an enemy, but
called no names. Nothing of value
Was found on the body. The most
accepted theory is that the deceas
ed was drunk, lay down on the
track and went to sleep. This theo
ry is supported by the fact thathe
was drunk enough to stagger an
hour or more before train time, and
no one knows what or how much
he drank during the intervening
time. We learn that the doctors
found no bullet wounds on the body.
Late Wednesday afternoon the
coroner's jury returned a verdict to
the effect, that, Joe Gibson came to
his death by being struck by the
train. This was done after the jury
had exhausted all the means with
in their power to clear up the
matter.

YOUfl CHANCES FOR COHSDHPFOH.:
They depend upon your age, oc
cupation, and mode of living.
Your chances for consumption.
are good. Indeed they are entirely
too good. Here are some interest
ingf acts about your chances.
Last year over 13 1-2 per cent or
all deaths in North Carolina, or one?
out of every seven, were caused by
consumption. You run more
chances of dying from consumption:
than from any other disease.. Pneu
monia comes second, followed by
diarrheal and heart disease.
Children and old people have the
least to fear from consumption, bu
about one death out of eyery four
occurring between-the. ages of twen
ty and-forty is due to consumption-
Consumption exists , and can be
cured all the way from the equator
to the pole. Your chances for con
sumption depend far more upon
what you do than upon where voir
live. Those who work and live hx
foul, dusty, dirty places, such as
cigar makers, tobacco workers, sa
loon keepers, or stone cutters, run
five times as many chances of dy
ing from consumption . as farmers
or lumbermen.

But dont lose hope. You can -
easily make -your own chance
against consumption infinitely bet
ter, than those of the farmer oir out
door worker. ; Their chief advant
age is : in the fresh air they get
wnen they are at workT But; they
don't work all the time, and so they
don't get an abundance of fresh air .
all the time. Very few of - thenn
get enough fresrr air ' in their 'beck "
