it be the last time we shall clasp Ihands with our comrades. I

II. The rate of travel will be 1 Icent per mile. As this will be a long (

'trip, arrangements have been made v

by which Tourists Cars, with all the c

substantial comforts of the Pullman e

Car, but only lacking their elegance,will be run by the Southern Railwayfrom South Carolina to Dallas, andsuch Tourists Cars as may be char-tered by Camps will be parked while e

there for use as homes for the Veter -sans. The special rate for the same

will be announced by the railroads.III. Thinking always of the con-

venience and comfort of his comrades, Sthe Division Commander has care- b

fully weighed the advantages pre-sented by the various routes to Dal- a

las, considering not only the advan- t

tages of the official train going, but P

the regular schedules of trains re-

turning, to bring the Veterans easily a

to their homes, outside of and includ

ing the official t! .v.d has decided Is

that the route by tLa Southern Railway is by far the best, and the offi-cial train will go by this route. Thistrain will carry the tourist sleepers lifrom South Carolina. The officialtrain will leave Columbia, S. C., h

about mid-day, Sunday, April 20th, N1902, after the hour of the arrival of n

trains from Fort Mill, Rock Hill, etc.,from Charleston; and trains by the i

A. C. L. from eastern parts of the d

State. It will go via Newberry,Greenwood, etc., to Greenville, wherethe trains from Charlotte, Spartan- r

burg, etc., will join it, and thence on a

to Dallas. The comrades from points din the western part of the State will T

join the official train at Atlanta. It a

is scheduled to arrive at Dallas, 6 A.M., April 22nd. This movement w

covers more nearly the whole State A

than is possible by any other route.

IV. The Division Commander re-

cognizes that he has no right, and ai

certainly has no inclination, to re-

quire the comrades of the South Car- 0

olina Division to go by any one route, bi

and particularly if at any personal biinconvenience to the comrades, but-he appeals to thenm to support him Nin his decision of a route, and to pa-tronize the "Southern," the officialroute. He urges this, because:

1st. The trip is a long one, andall South Carolinians going togetherplaces them in pleasant communion it

during the 36 hours of the trip.2d. Parking the chartered Tour-

ist Cars from South Carolina together, b

places the many South Caroliniansoccupying such cars when there, at dahome together. It gives our State a ai

local habitation at the Dallas Reun-.ition.

3d. If the Veterans of the Statedesire that their influence as a body frbe Met in the State, they must act

together as a unit. They can showtheir common bond of comradeship E

by endorsing their official head and n

moving in a mass.

The Division Commander feeling si

all this, most earnestly urges the d

comrades of this Division, for their U

own comfort, their own pleasure, andthe interests of the Division, to standtogether, and all make the trip toDallas by the official route on theSouthern Railway.

Unprecedented Indacem4ntA- Ind Grea

Crowds Going from Now to the Close-

15,000 People There Thursday-Soldiers in Camp

Exposition Bureau of The State

Charleston, S. C., March 21.-Thiestimate of the crowd on the exposition grounds yesterday as pnblishecin The State today is hardly a faii

one, although .it was the numbei

generally accepted yesterday. Therwere -considerably more than 10,00(people here, and 15,000 would b(

nearer the correct number. Th(visitors enjoyed themselves until

quite late at night, and the midwa3was the scene of one long merry

romp from eary morning until mid

night. That the day was a success

for other reasons as well as attend-ance will be proved when the peo.ple who were here go back to theiihomes. The correspondent of TheState has heard quite a number ofvisitors say that they had come dowito see for themselves, and they are

so well pleased with what they saw

that they are going home to gettheir families and come again.

Everything indicates that the peo-ple will now begin to come to the

exposition. Many have been puttingoff their visit until April, for it iswell known that April is the monthof the year when all nature is near-

est perfection. It having been provedthat the exposition is a success in

every way except in attendance, the

people will have nothing to restrainthem unless it should be the cry of"hard times."

THE -RAILROADS IN EARNEST.

In order to encourage the people,-the railroads have knocked the bot-tom out of the rates. At a recent

meeting held yesterday it was prac-

tinally decided to~make the rates

lower than at present, and the exist*

mg scheme of rates is lower thanever before issued for Charleston.No very definite statement may bemade in regard to the new rates, but

the whole matter will be made pub-lie~in a few -days. This much is

known here-the rate from Norfolkwill be $6; from Atlanta $3.50(which is cheaper than the ordinarytate from Columbia;) from Savan-nah $1; from Coluinbia and Augusta$2.00 (which is cheaper than walk-

ing if one had to buy meals alongthe~route).

This is in keeping witn the rates

from other points, so it will be seen

that fhe raijroads are determined to

bring the people here. The mid-

way people were very much delighted* when they. heard of the rates beinrgreduced so conspienously. .Theysay that they have never heard ofsuch rates being offered to any other

exposition.Mr. McGarvie, of the bureau of

publicity, leaves today for Floridawhere he will work the winter resorts

a ad will talk exposition to all the

tourists who are homeward bound.It is thought that they will come byCharleston in April and May. Maj.Hemphill today tried to get some

definite informati-n in regard tcPresident's day. He will be able tc

givagut something in a day or two.

The crowd toda~y is not as largeas it was yesterday, but it is a verygood attendance. Many of the visi~tors in the city are taking in thesights around Charleston, but thE

buildings on the exposition groundsare filled with sightseers. The

grounds are so extensive that ii

would take 50,000 people to make a

really great day, so far as appearances are concerned.

Greenwood, S. C , March 14, 1902General Order No. 57.

I. The twelfth Annual Reuniolof the United Confederate Veteraniwill be held at Dallas, Texas, Apri22 25, 1902. The Divisiion Cornmander urges upon all the Camps o

the South Carolina Division the sending of large delegations to this grantRaBnnion. To how many of us, wil

each house until we got enough.We paid for all we took except at

one house. Here the man said. itwas stealing and he would not take

any pay. We took dinner with a

lady who had two or three sons inthe Federal army. We paid her forour dinner and then went on to camp.We had plenty to do for several days.The next morning we were orderedto move and turned bhck towardsKnoxville. At Bean Station we hada sharp fight. Our brigade lost no

men but were fortunate enough to

capture the Federal commissaryhouse and the 3rd ,regiment gotthree days' rations of crackers andbacon, besides soap, candles, etc.

The balance of our brigade only gotone days' rations. I went into this

fight with my canteen full of mo-

lasses instead of water, but that was

the last time I did such a thing.Here Gen. McLaws was suspendedfrom his command and Gen. Ker-shaw took charge of the division.As we were moving into the fightGen. Longstreet spoke to Maj. Gog-gans, Gen. MeLaws' chief of staff,and asked for Gen. McLaws, whentold he was a mile or two in the rear,Gen. Longstreet told Maj. Goggansto go and tell Gen. McLaws he was

leading Gen. Kershaw's brigade inthe fight. From Bean Station wecrossed the Holstine river and wentinto winter quarters at Russellville.We were nearly all barefooted andhad scant clothing.At the ferry across the Holstine

river, Tom Grimes and myself beatthe generals out of a mess of fish.A citizen had a fish trap and hadinvited the general officers to eat a

fish dinner with him, but we got tothe trap first and got the fish.

LEVER'S POPULARITY.

Congressman Is Greatly Liked by HisAssociates.

[Special to Charleston Post.]Washington, March 21.-There is

probably no member of the delegation from South Ca. olina moie popular among the Democratic membersof the house than is RepresentativeLever, whose congressional career

began at the beginning of the presentsession. It is generally the opinionof the members who have watchedis contest that he will retain his

seat and that the committee will re-

port in his favor.A friend of Mr. Lever, who was

in Washington the other day, was

seen at the National hotel and saidthat Mr. Lever would doubtless be

given a renomination by the peopleof his congressional district. Al-

though one of the youngest membersof the house, he said Mr. Lever hadmade a record during the presentcongress of which an older member

might feel proud.The speech of Representative

Lever delivered when the bill to

establish rural free delivery was un-

der discussion in the house, was

published in full in the Congres-sional Record. The speech was in

opposition (to the bill, Mr. Lever be-

ing an ladvocate of the present sys-of rural free delivery, and opposedto the contract system, which the bill

proposes to establish.Representative Latimer from the

committee on invalid pensions, has

reported to the house bills to restorethe name of Carl Jordan to the pen.sion rolls, and granting an increaseof pension to John Hoffman. Both

of the beneficiaries are residents ofSouth Carolina.

)d FIRST MOVE ON THE1.9 POLITICAL BOARD,

ofTHE CALL ISSUED FOR MEETING OF

iS STATE COMMITTEE.

Will Call State Convention-Initial Step ind the Reorganization of the Democratic

Party for the Campaignof 1902.

le -

[The State, 22d.]tY From April 3 on through Septem-

ber there will be much politics in

r. South Carolina. State and coun-

i. ty officers, a United States sena-

it tor and a full set of congressmen are

n to be chosen by the people. Thust far this campaign year has been a

,n very quiet one though many have been

V. informaly announcing their candidacyd for different offices.Ls It wal.not until yesterday, how-a ever, that the first official move was

n made on the political checkuerboardlooking to the campaign of 1902. Itcame in the shape of a call issued byChairman Wilie Jones of the StateDemocratic executive committee fora meeting of that committee to be

n held here in the office of the Secre-le tary of State on the evening of AprilY 3. This meeting is simply for ther purpose of issuing the formal call

for the State conuention to be held

. on May 21 and the call for the vari-ous precinct meetings and county

i, conventions to be held earlier. TheL- committee will have nothing else tor do so far as known. It will have

nothing whatever to do with the mat-

ter of arranging the State campaignw this year, that duty falling upon the

- new committee to be elected by theS State convention.0 It is not unlikely however, that

the precinct clubs and the countyie

conventions will expr 3ss themselveson the matter of reducing the num-

s-ber of campaign gatherings so thatI-the State convention can consider the

>rmatter in the light of what the peo-9 ple wish. In several counties articleshave been published advocating the

d reduction of the number of meetings.s Secretary Gunter of the Stiate comn-n mittee expects to get up a circulart letter to be sent to the county chair-men shortly giving the dates of the

e different meetings preliminary to theState convention and full informa-tion as to the number of delegates

h allowed, etc.But the call yesterday is the

is first official political move of

>rthe campaign year and now thatthe ball has been opened

0 the formal announcement of manyd candidates for various positionsmay be expected. Already in all

~parts of the State a great deal of po-e.litical talk is being indulged in.'
