Professor Snowder announced
t he would touch very briefly
Qn the two most notable histori
cal 1neidepts that would obviously
oceur to any readers of our
State's history: the extraordinary
and successful iission of John
Laurens, which made the British
surrepder at Yorktown possible;
and the unsuccessful mission of
Charles Cotesworth Pinckney
and his two' associates to the
French Directory in 1797, when
Pinckney made his world-famous
reply to the French demand for
money.
Allusion was made to the emi.
gration from France after the
revocation of the Edictof Nantes,
the speaker giving the nest
homes of some twenty-five prpm
inent families who came from
every' section of France;-from
Brittany to Dauphiny, and from
LQriaine to La Rochelle.. So far
as he knew, Professor Snowden
said, the family of Horry was
the only one accredited ]Paris,
or Charenton nearby; ElaHor
ry, the refugee,' being "the son
of an *elder of a church in Paris,
who died a 'martyr for the Prot
eetint faith."
SIn1758, nearly' seventy years
r the Revocation, Peter Man
t, the son of one of the
tiest and most devoted Hu
a, was a student of law at
inner Temple, London, and
"n six weeks on vacation in

fo1 nt Sansculltte, who had
visited Paris for the purpos,
came back to Charleston and en
$ertained his customers, while
,shpving or "frizzing" them with
the gruesome story of execution.
Among the marriages to which
more or less extended reference
was made were Col. Thos. Sum
ter and the Countess Nathalie de.
Sage; Daniel Horry and Elenore
de Fay la Tour Manbourg, the
niece of La Fayette; Count Fer
dinand de Lasteyrie and Martha
Seabrooke; and the Conat de
Choiseuse and Miss Huard.
Perhaps the only South Caro
linian who ever published a book
in Paris was Daniel, who, after
voluntary expatriation, changed
his name to Charles Lucas
Pinckney Horry, and issued- an
attractive, though somewhat col
orless duodecimo, entitled, Pen
sees et Ventriments (1805.)
The most interesting feature
of the paper was a series of ex
tracts, with apposite comments,
from the journal of Joel R. Poin
sett, a brilliant young Carolinian
who spent the winter of 1801-2
iA Paris; during the first Consul
ate of Napoleon, one of the most
important periods in the history
of France. After extensive trav
el in Switzerland, Italy, Finland,
Aussia, and even the Trans-Cau
casus as far- as the oil wells of
Bpku, (now controlled by the
omnipotent Standard Oil Co.,)
Poinsett returned to Paris, via
Germany, in 1808, and had some
amazing experiences, among
others, hearing Marshall Mar
sena declare that Napoleon had
attempted his life. There is no
doubt that Massena was seriously
wounded during an interview
with Napoleon. The Marshall,
Prince of Essling, said to Poin
sett: "The cursed little fool
could not even shoot straight, or,
he would have killed me."
In conclusion, Professor Snow
den declared that the most essen
tial service that Paris rendered
this State was the splendid
training given to our physicians,
under Velpean and others, dur
ing the last three quarters of the
nineteenth century: though in
these latter days the seat of the
highest medical learning has
shifted from Paris to Berlin anid
Vienna. Up to 1840 South Caro
lina had more representatives in
the Parisian hospitals than any
other Southern State sa ve Vir
The Secret of Good Batting
is similar to the secret of good business-it happens
to some and just misses the others.
If there ever was a commercial homna run it's
Fatima, the Turkish-blend cigarette. The expert
who conceived this blend was some batter I fEtimna
was first lined out in the college towns-the studer.t
body quickly proclaimed them winners. Today
Fatima is the biggest selling cigarette in this country.
The secret is- e, good, choicq tobacco-no
expense in the pa uality all in the smoke
