OREAT PARADES
AT THE REUNION
Maids and Sponsors To Open

i Jacksonville, Fla.—With the near
approach of May 6, interest in t.he
i 24th annual reunion of the United
i Confederate Veterans’ Association and
* w •» >; ."j ' jr
Sons of Confederate Veterans, center^
around the three parades, one each
day of the reunion. It has been defi
nitely decided that the first parade
will be that of the maids and sponsors,
and it will be given on the afternoon
of May 6,
This parade will be confined to au
; tomobiles and carriages and all spon
sors and maids of honor will be ad
mitted to it. The Jacksonville Re
union Association has decided that,
if possible, the parade of maids and
sponsors will be the finest spectacle
of the kind ever seen in the southern
states. The route will be several miles
! long and passes through the principal
! residence and business sections of the
city.

Veterans and local military organiza
tions. It is the present plan for the
Sons to march on foot, and the parade
will take In the business sections of
the city.
On the morning of May S. the last
day of the reunion, the annual parade
of the Confederate Veterans will be
held. Jacksonville labors under a dis
advantage in staging this parade that
no other reunion city has ever en
countered. that, of securing horses.
There are very few available horses
In Jacksonville, and as a result it has
been decided to make the parade a
combination between horses, automo
biles and foot-marching. The local
association believes that it will be
possible for the commandors and their
staff officers to be provided with
mounts, but it is going to be a diffi
cult matter to secure a sufficient num
ber even for that. However, a united
effort is being made to secure all the
mounts possible in Jacksonville and
nearby towns in Florida and South
Georgia.
Arrangements for these parades are
being worked out rapidly by special
committees. MaJ. S. C. Harrison is
chairman of the committee that will
have charge of the Sons of Veterans
parade. He is being assisted by the
local camp of Sons of Veterans, of
which Judge John L. Dodge is com
mander. Adjt.-Gen. N. B. Forrest, of
the National Sons of Veterans, is here
giving much of hts attention to these
arrangements.

the committee on entertainment of
maids and sponsors, and has been
working on plans for some time with
a corps of assistants. He will organ
ize the entire program of the maids
and sponsors entertainment features
and promises to give the visiting la
dles the best possible reception in
Jacksonville.
Gen. John L. Inglis, commander of
the Florida division, U. C. V., is, un
der the rules of the United Confeder
ate Veterans’ Associations, chief mar
shal of the veterans parade, with Gen.
W. H. Sebring, chief aide. Gen. Inglis
wants a parade in which the older vet
erans will occupy automobiles and car
riages, with commanders and as many
of their staffs as possible on horse
back. The veterans’ parade Is being
worked out along these lines.
The social functions of the reunion
will be about the same as have pre
vailed at other reunion cities. Three
balls will be given during the week,
one for maids and sponsors, one for
the Sons of Veterans and the other
for the veterans themselves. Gen.
Bennett H. Young appointed as his
chief sponsor Miss Corrinne Hampton,
of Columbia, S. C. His maids of hon
or are Misses Minnie Brock, of Chat
tanooga; Eloise Washburn, of Mont
gomery, Ala., and Miss Gladys Ker
nan, of New Orleans. These ladies
represent the south in the social func
tions of the reunion.
A dancing pavilion will be erected
j close to the business sections of the
city, and it will be large enough to
accommodate the reunion balls. In
addition to the balls there will be a
number of events on the program foi
the entertainment of official ladles
Chief among these is a trip lo the sea
shore, and an excursion or two on the
St. Johns river. Some two hundrec
young men have volunteered theii
services as escorts for the visiting la
dies, and everything points to a mos
enjoyable week for all who may par
ticipate In the social functions ant
the annual parades.
The Border Situation.
Some newspapers and many
individuals are disposed to re
gard lightly the possibility of
serious trouble along our south
ern border during the present
Mexican imbroglio, but such
views are the result of a lack of
knowledge of actual conditions.
When one knows that in the j
tier of Texas counties bordering :
on Mexico there is a greater :
Mexican population than Ameri-j
can, and that in New Mexico and
Arizona the predominance of
Americans is but slight, the sit
uation assumes a different as
pect. The American and Mexi
can poulation in the counties
bordering on Mexico in these
three states is as follows:
Texas— Americans, 159,767;
Mexicans, 175,237.
New Mexico—Americans, 14,
068; Mexicans 14,151.
Arizona—71,336; Mexicans,
18,634.
Of course, even in the event
actual declaration of war, a Mex
ican invasion of United States
territory is not probable, but
with this knowledge of the pre
dominance of Mexican popula
tion, even on our own soil, guer
illa warfare, brigandage, local
uprisings would be common and

of the most difficult we would
have to deal with. Such war-1
I fare is about all the Mexicans
know much about, and it is the
hardest to effectually combat.
But all things taken into con
-ideration, is the fact that the
Mexicans generally are not over
patriotic; that many natives a
long the border, even on the
Mexican side, would not rise in
arms, and that others, especial
ly those of Indian descent, care
little as to which side they are
on and if the U. S. offered them
a little better pay or better feed
I they would as willingly march
with the Stars and Stripes as
against us.
But all things taken into con
sideration, the border problem is
a grave one and we of the inter
ior can hardly conceive of the un
easiness and unrest justly felt
in the unprotected small towns
and rural districts along our
southern boundary.—Russell

! Hearing Claims Against Rock
Island.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, April 29.—The
Arkansas Railroad Commission
is today giving a hearing to
shippers and others interested
in freight and passenger claims
against the Rock Island rail
road. The railroad has offered
i to compromise the claims a
j gainst the company on account
I of the rebates by the payment
j of $100,000 in cash for freight
! claims and $30,000 in mileage
for passenger claims. No cash
will be paid on the passenger re
bates, but transportation to the
amount of the claims will be is
sued to claimant. The railroad
company also agrees to pay $2,
500 for the auditing of the
claims.
It is generally believed by
those familiar with the situation
that the compromise will be ac
cepted.
