Survivors of Lee’s
Army to Meet Again
Dallas, Texas, May 12.—The scant
line of grey, remnant of that host
which rallied to the standard of Dee,
(15 years ago, will make another stand
with the annual encampment of the
United Confederate veterans here
May 19-22.
Shrunken from the army of *500,000
men who were under arms at the peak
of the strife between the states, to
not more than .15,000. the veteran:,’
organization will he able to bring per
haps 4,000 of its membership to Dal
las, its leader state. With them will
gather about 10,000 Son of Veterans,
who will meet for their 10tl>. annual re
union. It will he the 35th reunion <t
the United Confederate Veterans.
The Confederate Southern Memori
al association also will m< at at tins

rattle of the drums in the conflict ot
the sixties; will bivouac again about
their camp fire ; here to retell the -t sry
of the war. Accommodations for quar
tering the visitors are being arranged
at Fair Ground park.
The advanced age of the old soldiers

bands have been obtained to supply
music for the march.

“Roll-Y our-Owns”
[ Gaffney, S. C., May 11.—Notice
has been posted on the bulletin board
of the Gaffney high school to the ef
fect that the young ladies of flic
•'leveui.h grade must do one of two
things—cease the practice of rolling
their «1 ockings or wear longer dress
es. It is said that the notice is from
j some official course anil that the
’ voting ladies must con.ply with the
■ same, although there was no iudica
1 lion of that intention apparent.
An investigator claims that half the
people in the world are half crazy. A

tive and optimistic a conclusion.—
