Branch t.4iinp, LonfeilojN&Frete- i r a r. r- R'gTr4T0nsof liilH33rtrrTnd who went to the Confederate reunion at Nash ville last week, taking the only Confederate drum corps in exis tence, it is learned that North Carolina made, a decided hit there. About 300 North Carolina vete rans were present, headed by Ju lian S. Carr, commanding the di vision, and never were they enter tained in a handsomer style. The drum corps made a great hit, and never swept an - audience - more completely than it did the one of tt,000 persons in the auditorium when it entered and tlayed "Dix ie," r A noted orator , was speak ing when the drum corps entered the great hall. In front marched Commander Carr, followed by Mr, Stronach, then by veterans who boro tlw flag of L. O. B. Branch camp, which was .the bat tleflug and also the flag of the city of Raleigh, which is distinctive and striking. The drum corps came next with little ten-year-old Mary Stronach, marching in f ront of it, in Confederate uniform,- and literally covered1 with badges. Be hind . the drum corps came the sponsors and maids of honor f aora North Carolina. And such music as that drum ' corps made! The aisle was cleared of people; and down it went the drummersand the fifers, while",' the cheering; crowd leaped to its feet and , the great orator was put out ojf action until it had swept down one aisle, passed in front of tho platform and then up the other aisl. Nev er was "Dixie"- played in more soul-stirring fashion and the cheer ing, as the drum corps put it, seemed as if it would "raise the roof." The drum corps serena ded the. governor at the capital and he made a little speech the re J in response to the one made by Commandant Stronach. The drum corps will probably go to St. Lou is, to make its merry music du ring the convention of the Daugh ters of the Confederacy, The North Curolina veterans ought to sec to it that it goes there. There is nothing like it in this country Volume of sound it; can turn out is astonishing. Mr. Stronach tells me that in a counter march in which it passed the superb band of the Seventh Cnited Slates cavalry, absolutely drowned out l';e hit ler. .. i;0"IIIATED BY ACCLA MATION Renomination for Three Con '. . gressmen. - ; Claude Kitchin in Second, James R. - Thomas In Third and James M.
