Address.
(Bv D. M. liailev. Major General of i
the United Confederate Veterans of
the State of Oklahoma at the Re-
union of Veterans at Ardmore.)
Mr Chairman and Comrades:
W'e are assembled again here today
for our annual reunion: to renew
those pleasant relations that have so
long existed between us and to foster
and perpetuate that fraternal feeling
that was born on the battlefields of
IHxie.
I always look forward to these meet-
ings with mingled feelings of joy and
sorrow. It fills my heart with Joy to
know that it is a gathering of old
comrades whose friendships are as
strong as family ties: whoe reminis-
cences of the late unpleasantness we
delight to hear told over and over
again and whose famiBar faces we
look for from the end of one meeting
to the beginning of another. These
are the joys that we experience at our '
annual reunions. i
On the other hand each new year i
claims its full quota of the grizzled
veterans and we fail to see the smil-
ing face of many a dear old comrade
T that at the last reunion contributed
his full share to our entertainment.
Kach succeeding reunion our numbers
are appreciably smaller and old Fath-
er Time is making terrible Inroads
on our ever thinning ranks. This aw-
ful falling off becomes painfully more
""'"- " i'---.
their reward in tne tireat Beyond and
T say to their reward advisedly be-
cause I believe If they did not reach
that coal then no other human being
ever lived ho reached that degee of
perfection that would admit him to
those pearly sates. Mi litre is too
Stood for tne martyr and the patriot
and our comrades who have Rone he-
fnfe us were that to the fullest mean-
itii; of the word. These my comrades
are the ad feature-! of our annual
assembling.
The
(iritu Reaper Is
alwavs littsv. Beginning with our of-
ficial dignitaries he cut down that
matchless leader of turn General
Stonewall Jackson at a time when his
scribes were of inestimable value;
He followed a few years later when
He saw lit. in His omnipotence to
take from our midst the Immortal
r.obeit IC. I.ee tlian whom no greater 1" io distn.-t court tc-l.n t'.ir
man or general ever lived. Then my j I'-e of Ore Joius charged with !;ir-
i.nniKi.11 iiw rui.l-. 1... !imo mnro fre-1 ceny. is being heard. This rase was
fluent until today there Is hardly n
vestige of our old civil ami military
administration left. We can now name
the commissioned officers of our army
on the fingers of our two hands. This
is the nd feature of our annual re-
union. These inarches onward and upward
have not been ron fined to the official
family of our organization hut with
our countless numbers of the rank
and file we have not been aide fo
notice this slow hut sure decimation.
As we meet annually in our conven-
tions we could miss only the great
men of our reunions and the personal
and familiar ones of the. rank and file.
However of late years Demon Death
has been taking them from us In com-
panies and battalions until now we
are so reduced in numbers that each
face we see Is a familiar one each is
a member of the family and when we
meet as we do today we miss that
face at once and we fear to ask why
our comrade is not with tie we know
the answer only too well. We go to
each reunion with the fear In our
hearts that we will fail to see many
of the old comrades who had met with
us the preceding year.
Thus it is my comrades that our
friendships are more closely cement-
ed; thus It Is that we come here with
both eitreme joy and extreme sad-
ness; thus it Is that we are more
forcibly impressed each year that it
will soon come the time when we will
fail to respond and the remainder of
our family will get together and say
over and over the great deeds of our
departed comrades and sing the
praises of those brilliant and self-sacrificing
patriots who gave up their
lives and their fortunes for a cause
they considered just. My brothers. .1
could go on 'indefinitely on this sub-
ject but there are others here to ad-
dress you and T feel that I am con-
suming their time.
Hovvever before I conclude I be-
lieve that it would not be amiss at
this time to make a cursory ' state-
ment as to our "home" which has
been completed at Ardmore. The lo-
cation of the "home" is a most de-
lightful one and the building Is com-
plete in every detail. Every modern
convenience has been installed and
every effort will be made to make
the declining years of our dear old
comrades who are incapacitated for
active competition with the younger
and coming generation as cozy and
comfortable as human hands can
make It.
On the 24th day of June 1910. the
Grand I.oge of Masons In the pres-
ence of several thousand enthufiiastic
friends and comrades laid the corner-
stone of this grand Institution which
vviii remain for years to come a noble
monument to the memory of those
brave brothers who fought and died
for a cause they knew was just. Bro.
Kddleman. acting grand master
made a very interesting and exhaufi- j
tive talk on the "Laying of Corner-j
Stones." and paid a glow ing tribute j
to the cause and the occasion. Gov-j
ernor Haskell who was to have been j
present was unavoidably detained and
his place on the program was very
ably filled by Bro. Russel of Ardmore.
Needless to say Bro. Russell made a
tnaunificent s; eeeh and was long and
loudly applauded.
Among the most interesting speak-
ers of the occasion was Hon. W. I
Gilmer of Ardmore. To Bro. Gilmer;
and those who assisted him. we owe :
n great debt of gratitude for their un-j
tiring efforts in our behalf before the
legislature. And besides securing for
us legislative appropriation for our
Home he worked unceasingly with
others to raise the remaining amount
of money to insure the success of our
Home.
And now as completed I can assure
you it is one of the finest institutions
of its kind anywhere In the country.
It will be a "Home" to which we can

FILES SUII
ALLEGES CONSPIRACY HAS BEEN
FRAMED AGAINST HIM TO HIS
DETRIMENT.
Robert M. Dillard has through his
attorneys Champion & Champion
filed suit against Westheimer &
Dau.be Godwin & N'ichols Colley &
Nichols and Love ft Thurmond for the
sum of $2500. which he alleges they
will damage him by a conspiracy they
have formed to prevent the cotton
growers of this section having their
cotton weighed on his scales. He also
asks for a restraining order to pre-
vent them dictating to the cotton
growers where their cotton shall be
weighed. Dillard Is the county weigh-
er and was elected at the last primary
election and alleges in his petition
that tho only compensation he re-
ceives for his duties as such weigher
is the sum of ten cents that he col-
lects for each hale of cotton weighed
and that If the defendants are not re-
strained from interfering with the cot-
ton growers in the matter of where
the cotton fhall be weighed that he
will not realize anything from the of-
fice. He alleges In the petition that
the farmers of this section have been
notified by the defendants that they
would not purchase their cotton if it
was weighed by the plaintiff and that
in a number of cases where the cotton
had been contracted for the defend-
ants refused to accept It after they
learned that it was to be weighed by
the plaintiff and destroyed the tick-;
ets that they had given the owners of j
Hie cotton. He alleges that the action
of the defendants will be the means J
of causing the farmers of this section
to carry the cotton to other markets
and that he will be deprived of the
financial henefits of his office and for
the reasons stated asks for judgment I
in the sum of $2500 and that the de-j
fendants be restrained from interfer-1
ing in any manner with the cotton :
produrers of this section. j

DEFENDANT IN SENSATIONAL
MURDER TRIAL SAYS HE EX-
PECTED TO BE HOME SUNDAY.
1
Sboitly After Six o'Oclock Last Night
Both Sidt's Had Completed the In-
troduction of Evidence Arguments
Degin Tomorrow.
Cltc.-teriiehl Court House Va. Sept.
ii - -"I expect to be at home Sunday.
I feel that my story impressed the
jury and I believe they will give me a
square deal." This was the confident
remark of Henry Clay Bealtie Jr. in
his cell today.
Vneasiness of nervousness was not
apparent in hi countenance.
The court house and pastoral va-
cant are clothed in peaceful quietness
today while counsel for both sides tire
knitting together the relevancy of the
various testimony of days past into
argument upon which Beattie's life
will depend.
The defense will make its strongest
Idea on the danger of circumstantial
evidence.
If was shortly after fi o'clock last
evening when both sides in the case
announced that they had finished the
introduction of evidence. Judge Wat
son who is presiding in this trial
stretched his arms and with a sign
of relief announced that court would
adjourn until Thursday morning to
day being devoted to discussion with
the counsel as to the court's instruc-
tions to be given the jury tomorrow
morning before the arguments are be-
gun. Beulah Binford the so-called "girl
in the case" was not called to the
stand by either side. Both she and
Paul Benttie are still confined in the
tail but it Is generally predicted that
they will be released. Although the
prosecution has sought to 'prove that
Beulah Rlnford was the motive for
the murder they feared to place her
on the stand. The prosecution feared
that the girl would slick by her former
companion and that no testimony
damaging to the defense could be se-
cured '.torn her.
The belief that the Binford girl will
be released was occasioned by a re-
mark by Judge Watson yestepday aft-
ernoon that unless the girl was to be
placed on the witness stand he wish-
ed to "turn her loose."
