NO DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS Florence, May 6.?Col. Holmes B. Springs has given out for publication a telegram which he has received from Theodore Roosevelt putting an end to the canard sent broadcast that the Confederation veterans were not to be admitted, into membership of the American Legion, while veterans of the G. A. R. as well as SpanishAmerican war veterans had been invited to join the organization. Colonel Springs states that he felt confident that Colonel Roosevelt's position in the matter had beeif'misrepresented, and telegraphed him for an expression. The reply, says Colonel Spring, is just What he expected it would be. "The boys who' l^ave beeji fighting overseas have come to know no section. It was a 'one country' proposition we were up against, and the boys from the South stdod shoulder to shoulder as they advanced against the common foe." gaiaiEfisraiiUiinuarararaiaf ITILE COP Abbeville, So.

C.: ' , A. "I notice clipping from New- York papers stating that the American Legion proposed to admit union veterans and not Confederate veterans. This is- absolutely untrue. If the committees at the convention decid- . ed. to admit one, both would have to be admitted. The question of eligi- \\ bility is of Course one for the con- f . vention. The Confederate veterans *, is one of the organizations which is to, welcome delegates at St. Louis; Trust you will do your best to stamp ? out an question of sectiomsm. This, is my mind, is one of the important functions of the ]Jh>posed organist- ">, tion. We fought shoulder to shoulder in this war and the Spanish war." My ) own forbears are members of both the G. A. R. and Confederate veter-: _ ans.
