THE VETERANS COMING.
The veterans will begin to arrive
in Abbeville on next Monday afternoon.
Th^ people of Abbeville must
lake haste to prepare for their
coming. The reputation of the city
for looking after the pleasure of
visitors to the city must not be allowed
to suffer at the time when we
should do our best. The old soldiers
will not attend many more
reunions. For many of them this
reunion will be the last. Therefore,
we should bestir ourselves to see
that it is the best reunion they
I
have ever attended.
k, _ ... .
The Committee on Jiintertainmeni
is the most important of the Committees.
Mr. J. S. Stark is in charge
of the committee and they have
done good work towards finding
, homes for all the veterans. A great j
number of people have indicated a;
desire to have a number of these
Id soldiers with them. Some homes
bare been missed in the canvass,
and it is important that these report
to Mr. Stark at once, as it
will be necessary that every person
do what he can in order that homes
May be prepared for all.
JS*. '
It is thought that some three
S;i . hundred veterans will be here. In
addition, to these a good number of
&t. ' other persons will be here to attend
the reunion, including perhaps
fifty or more young ladies who are
to act as sponsors for the several
oamps, including their maids of
honor. At the last reunion there
C'"1 / were four hundred of the veterans
mlone. It seems certain therefore
that we should expect at least four
hundred visitors in the city.
isr
? * So far as reported homes for
only two hundred and twenty-five
fft flonf _T T,
Ha T t ityviwvi w W. ?
Pcrrin, who is in charge of all committees.
It is likely that Mr. Stark
may have secured homes for others.
ISe-'"
but is is evident that others still
must be provided for.
It will not do for those who are
a position to help to wait to be
asked to do their part. The time
for assistance is now, and the committee
has not the time to make
another canvass of the city. Those
who desire to provide homes for the
veterans will, therefore, telephone
to Mr. Stark, advising him of the
number they desire to entertain.
Those persons who have already taken
delegates can help materially
by taking one or two more, if this
can be done conveniently.

THEIR FINISH.
'
We see that Col. J. M. Connor,!
formerly of Greenwood, but now of'
the progressive city of Greenville, \
~ . . .. I
says xnac rsryan is tne greatest political
fakir in the country and that
Champ Clark is next. We suggest
that cryan and Clark now be good, j
LEVER'S HAT IN RING.
jj$ The
announcmeent that Congressman
Lever will be in the race for
the United States Senate to suc
J o A TV11 !11 iV
tccu oeiiiiLur i minaii win cause trie
politicians all over the country to 1
sit up and take notice. Congressman
Lever has made the state a
most creditable representative in
Congress. As the chairman of one <
of the most important committees
in the lower house, he has had the !
confidence of the administration,
and has made himself a national ]
figure. Just what effect his announcement
will have on the politi- j
cai fortunes of other candidates
mains to be seen. If elected he i

will fill the office to the satisfaction
of the people of the State. $
GENERAL BONHAM, ORATOR. (
One of the things to be looked (
forward; to at the Reunion of the
Veterans next week is the speech of
Gen. Bonham, of Anderson. We say
he is "of Anderson" merely because
he is temporarily residing
there. He really belongs to Abbeville.
General Bonham is one of the
most finished orators in the state. 1
He takes a great interest in all matters
connected with the Confederacy,
and his speech will be worth
hearing.
SOLDIER TALK.
Col. Fogg Fleming, of Antreville, :
was here Tuesday. He says he
wants someone to wire President
Wilson to send a million and a half
men to France to whip the Ger- .
mans. He says -it will take that
many to help Pershing finish the J
job, and that we Americans must
do the work. The Colonel knows ^
what he is talking about. From all |
we can gather, President Wilson |
and the War Department have
reached the same conclusion already,
however, so we saw no need
to send the message.
' BOY SCOUTS?NOTICE!!
