Wliat Our <'nrrp?|>oii<lciit Saw anil llenril 111 ihe Oreat <"lly. Sunday afternoon we visited Fort Meyer and Arlington. The drive out tiiere Is through ' a beautiful wood and the roads are in goo<t condition. Arlington Is the old homeol our beloved General It. K. Lee. and a more beautiful spot could not he found. This land is now owned by tlie United States and is used for a Nmlonul Cemetery. General Lee's home is still standing and is kept in repair, standing on the piazza a fine view of the Potomac cau be had. >ot a stone's throw from there lies the body of Sheridan. To me it seemed the irony of fate and 1 could not help speculating on bow the grand old Coniederate soldier would feel, if once more he could visit bis borne. In the cemetery we saw a large number ot mouments erected to prominent military men and one huge stone marked the last resting place of two thousand Union dead. A beautiful bed there is planted in | various colored columns to form the name B-A-U-L-E-Y, in Honor 01 uiu ywuug suiuicr who lost tila life In Havana harbor. FORT MEYER. Fort Meyer has no thrown up fortifications, but Is stluated on a high blufi'overlooking the river and commands a fine view of Wasblngtou. The grounds are beautifully laid ott'and the officers' houses and burracks are comfortable and homelike. SOLDIERS' UOME. Driving across the city we came to tbe Soldiers' Home. Here we-find the old soldiers who bav? been pensioned by the Government of the United States. Tbey have comfortable quarters, a chapel and tbe grounds that surround their home are all that tbo heart could wish. Tbey have their own horses, cows, chickens and garden. In tbe same enclosure Is the summer home of the president, this, though, has not been occupied for some years. TIIE NATIONAL MUSUEM. The National Musuera was the most interesting building of all. Here can be found curios from every nationality. The case that Interested me most was the one that contained the present* of Dewey. Here was the . sword presented by Congress, the handle of which was encrusted with diamonds ; a huge silver punch bowl and ladle; gold dinner menu card; gold loving cup and dozens of medals; two gold watobes, one with bis moo ogram Id diamonds ana ihbi. olh not ieu?i, tbe loving cup made from tbe 72.000 dimes given by tbe oblldreu of America. It Is about four and one-half feet high. History can be learned by studylDg carefully tbe cases. The dlffereut stages Id American history Is well set forth and arranged to be easily connected. Large rooms are devoted to the Indians, Chinese, Japanese and every nation being represented, Several rooms are devoted to stuffedanimals and the skeletons of animals. A skeleton of araun stands sidebyBldeof that of a chimpanzee and 1 am almost ready to accept Darwin's theory. lu the rotunda of this bulldlug Is a model of the figure that standsqq the'dome of the oapltol and a fountain of water plays at the foot of the huge form. kt. VERNON. ML Vernon tbe borne of tbe father of oar country Is a place around which cling many fond memories and one feels &b if the very air and ground was boly. Tbe home Is furnished tbroogboat and Is as It was In tbe day?-0f Washington wltb the exception of a few portraits that bave been added. Tbe borne-ti owned by tbe Daughters of the Ameftaty Revolution and each chapter has a roo*$fer } some part to keep in order. Tbe dinUutMUfi - 1h kept by tbe Soutb Carolina chapterJWB^^M walls bang oil portraits of Marlon, StUMMca ? DeKalb, Moultrie and Miss Parmela CamH^H bam. (It was through the Influence of?(?? Cunningham that Ml Vernon was bOfltau and kept op.) On the floor of tbe west rojjnr was a carpet given to Washington by.qaKfi tbe French Kings,. It was a woven Amtrpiu flag wltb a spread eagle and E Plorlbus Utoetm written in tbe center., In a-case in tbe-aatJ , was Washington's sword and tbe key of tftf Hastlle tjlven to him by Lafayette.

Driving In the city the home of Dew^jr Jif pointed out. This house was presented to Ihe Admiral by the admiring thousands dpOMM return to America. Tne home of JaftpM Lelter, the wheat mercbaut, lirltlsbJUegMMg] Louise Home, Arlington hoi el and lbeCn?KH| of the Covenant, wbete Harrison attencWB during his administration, TUE POST OFFICE, The post office Is a Dew building bnllt of granite and covers a square. The Interior is of brown and white marble. Here Is found the lead-letter office and the museum. It Is certainly queer to see the numbers of things tbat pass through the mall. For Instance.a live rattlesnake, pigeon, watches.clocks, rings, false teeth, pistols and Hundreds of odd things. ZOOLOGICAL l'AKK. Out In the Zoo a whrtle day could be spent The collection ot birds, aud animals is good. Tbemonkey s, snakes, parrots aud alligators attracted my attention most. The grounds are rather In rye and ibe animals are too far apart to be seen comfortably In a day when the thermometer Is 'JO In the shade. NAVY YAKI>. " At the navy yard only one vessel was under going repairs. The naval gun factory In this yard Is busy making guns for the new battleships now being built for the American navy. THE TREASURY. We were shown through the treasury by ? negro. We could not s?e the"KoKues Ualler>" without the special permission of some high officials, xo we contented ourselves the vaults. The following Is the contents of the vaults In the United State* treasurer's office : Vault No. 1. 5103,653.00") 00; vault No 2. S-V?.458.000,00; vault No. 3. $731, 24S.1G ; vault No. 4, ?756,580.97. vault No. 0. 810.000,(KI0.0O, vault No. 7. $432, 456,428 08%; vault No. S, ?:JK0,000.000.00. Total, 88(17,007,2H8/i 1 %. Total weight of coin, 5,000 tons. ? Here we saw the machine that crushed the United States bonds that had been redeemed. These are crushed In the prenee ol three men who hold keys that unlock the macerator and they had to keep rcoouiu of the amount of bonds destroyed.. Tin- pulp Is dried and sold to manufacturing companies to make paper. I'IH,N.vi>VUKE HEACII. Thursday we vlBlted Chesapeake Ileach, a summer resort about forty miles out of Washington. We led the busy, bustling city about 10 o'clock and reached the beach after an hour's ride. Ou the way to the' beach we passed large truck larins and fields of tobacco. Chesapeake Reach Is a comparatively new Hummer resort, but it is last becoming popular, and a large crowd was comiDg and going all the time. A good string band furnisher music for the daDcers, a scenic railway delights the children's hearts and a good serf Is enjoyed *>y toe bathers. I went with the intention of going into the serf, but when 1 heard a gentleman say that sea nettles had slung him. my heart fulled me. After hesita' ting for some time I made up my mind togc in. This was my first experience In the self, and 1 enjoyed it thoroughly until just before golug out one of those dreaded sea nettle* stung my arm. The pain was Intense, but by rubbing mud on the arm, the pain was alleviated. DEPARTS! ENT STORKS. Saturday we visited the principal depart ment stores In the city. Here you can find anything In the world you could ask lor. Th< most bautiful embroidery, pictures, tapestry curtains, carpets, silver artioles, monogram paper and all household furniture. The prln cipal ones are Woodward & Lothrop, l'alalf ltoyai and Saks ACo. The Five and Ten Cenl Store dellgnts the heart of the bargain bun ters. H'KI.XLKY S VI1UKIH. Hunday morning we attended the Metropolitan Methodist church and heard a flnt sermon Irooi the Bev. Frank Bristoe, the pas tor of the chura)|.-*fie Is an eloquent speakei aud no one can leave the church without toot for thought. The President and Mrs. McKln ley were not out, the President buing absen from the city. HOMEWARD BOUND. Monday we left for home. On the way t< the station my attention was called to the nev Kvenlng .Star Building. It Is the finest news paper building in the world. It is built o Georgia marble aud is eleven stories high. A tt:30 o'clock we went aboard the s.earner New |?ort News aud soou set sail for our natlv lieath. The river was calm and beautiful Washington gradually faded in the twilight and one tall building after another was lost t view. Indian Head fort was oue of the oios Interesting places that we passed. The fort is situated at a bend of the river and was used In the late war. The government, now uses it to store powder aud dynamite. We stayed lip on deck until a late hour enjoying the cairn, restful quiet, brokeu only by thoughts of next day's hot, dusty ride. After being en route for :#> hours we reached Abbeville, !ludln? the town in gala attire and a large numof strangers within our gates. TILLMAN REPLIES. Clinrice Repeated?Still Insist* Tlioy Are in Alliance With Barkeepers. Kev. J-() Willson, Colombia, S. C. Dear sir I have your letter of July '_"2. asylng If my speech at Bennettavllle was correctly reported. I do not recollect the exact wordft used at Benuettsvllle,but they are In effect true as quoted; and Inasmuch as ihe District Cod- i terence of the Methodist church, under the leadership of Bishop Duncan, has taken tbe matter ud. and the BlshoD is renorted to have "nailed" my utterance "as a lie" while the report of the committee on temperance "denounced any Insinuation that theelTort of the Christian ministers and other cltlzans to rid the State of thin gigantic evil is a sought or 1 voluntary combination with the saloon ele mentas a base slander, that Is Itself an attempt to strengthen the power of this most damnable iniquity," I will take the occasion offeredby yourlnqulry to make anannonbceraent over my own signature of what I said and meant at Bennettsvtlle. Of course the reporter gave only the barest outlines. I have no qoart<el. with the ministers of any church or denomination and have no purpose to give offense to-any of them. I have always borue testimony to the hlght character and purity ofWjrpoBeehamotflrlzlng the ministry, butl believe th^ey a>e ^rong in fighting the dispensary law as they do, and 1 claim the right to say-60, at&nJw]edgiDg at the same time their right'JHBgedom of speech and freedom Of poiitlOAlWttOn on this and every I mentloned-tiiA'SjraMldeof the ministers in- ' cidentallyatfwfc^twtiltlonof the anomalous political situation. ministers attack the dispensary beoanBtfH|pes nottro far enough, and the high iloenifiPpeople and the blind i l^ere whofn I deatenaiea as the ' old bar keep- i ers" attaafc'thfjmBpensary because it goes too far.

Colonel Hoyt seeks the i eowfrnor's office and of course wants votes. I I am opposed to his election solely ou these graoQds and called attention to tbe elements I supporting him. There may be no open "alii- i aaoe"-.and technically I may have been In I error to asserting it, but I think It permissible to declare alt the supporters or any one < candidate "allies," and It tbe Methodist mluls- > jfln who accused' me of "slander" will show NBfc they do not intend to work to the same f was the barkeepers tor tbe overthrow of KjCdlspehaary, I will then consider the pro- < prlety of Ah apology.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? j ' Tlic fottou Mill* and the ExpoMltion. < News and Courier. I Soutb Carolina 1b the largest cotton manu- ' facturing State In the South, and the second 1 largest cotton manufacturing State In the ' Union, ranklDg next to Massachusets. One < of the leatures of the Exposition to be bold 1 In Charleston next year will be a ereat textile ' display of the output ot the Southern mills, ' and, as South Carolina leads the South In cot- < ton manufacturing, the South Carolina mills ought to fill the largest place in this exhibit. < The cotton manufacturers in this State 1 should esteem It a privilege to assist the peo- 1 pie of Charleston in the great work they have ' undertaken, and for the one practical reason, ' if no other, that, but for the amount of Char- ' lestou capital invested In the mills of this State, the present development of this industry would not have been possible. It was slated some time ago upon the ' authority of a manufacturer In the Piedmont ' country that from two-thirds, to tliree-fonrths 1 of the entire amount of capital Invested in i the cotton mills in the upper part of the State and employed by these mills in the conduct of their business, was Charleston capital. It is not unreasonable to exDect that the cotton mill industry, which has been so greatly promoted by Charleston capital, should take an active part io helping to promote the aucoess of toe Exposition at Charleston. If the presidents and managers and directors of the mills in tills State would agree to a very small assessment on the number of spindles operate ed In their mills It would be practicable to make a textile exhibit at Charleston of homemade goods from home-grown cotton that would impress the commercial world with the strength of our position. Such an exhibit would, moreover, advtrtlse to the hundreds of thousands of people who will visit the Exposition, the quality of these goods, and as the West Indian and South American countries will be represented here, It would open new markets for these goods, and give our manufacturers a special advantage In dealing with these countries. We do not think it too much to ask and expect that the cotton mill peopie of the State shall make the desired exhibit here, and contribute liberally for this purpose. I,. W. Whiten liOcnlN.

O., a fornaer teacher of White Rock Academy, was the next speaker. The subject asslened Mr. Johnson by the procrammp commlttn was, "Why the Mother Should be Educated?" Ho spoke impromptu. He said he <'id not. come down to make a speech. For 15 minute* he handled the subject In a masterly manner.. He Is n gifted speaker and has* clear distinct voice. The following is a brief synopsis of the speech. , In the divine economy for the moulding of Individuals and the elevation and betterment of the race, the mother is the great, instrument to be nsed, II was ordained that the woman, who was the chler instrument tn man's fall, should be also the chief lnstrnment in bruising the head of the serpent of eVU; and when the Saviour of man oame to aarth to teaoh the better way he came of a tinman mother, bat without a human father, md thus pnt the seal and .honor of divinity jpon motherhood.

It had been almost four weeks since any rain had fallen In .his section, and the crops were suffering very badly. Tbo rough usage to which they lad been subjected to clean them of the grass, >oupled with the absence of rain, was more :bun was good for them. Tbe little rain that ell did but little good, and without more and i plenty of it very soon, the yield will be as ^ad or worse than last year. It is even now mfe to say that there will be less corn raised bis year in this section than there has been 'or a number of years, as the bottom lands jpon which many of the lareer planters, and more or ine smaiier ones uepenu ior meir :orn supply, are an entire failure. They were planted to corn twice and bad fine stands up in them, and these were by high waters washed off and covered up, and acres upon icres of the best bottom lands will make no jorn at all, as It was thought to be too late ifter they dried oil to plant them the third lime. VALUE OK A OENTLE HORSE. Sometime we have to pass through experience that would be nerve shaking, but they are over so quickly that we cannot get excited till too late. Such was the case a few days ago with Messrs. W. W. Thompson and Gordon Speer, while driving, the top of the buggy made a sudden lurch to one side and over tbe top went, and there was a mixture of buggy top, young men and wheels, which might have ended seriously with any other than a gentle horse.

Subject: Resolved, tbat farther annexation oi territory Is not for the beat Interests of the American People. Mr. President. Honorable Jddees and Ladies and Gentlemen : The subject for debate tbli evening Is one of the greatest importance and one which should occupy the minds of every American citizen. One which is calling for the genius of our land and although that genius Is nobly rising to meet It. H la still pending in the legislative balls of oar coanury. I shall try first to give some examples of expansion and of Its evils In other days, and then to enumerate some of the evils 'which might result from It In the present day. We will look at the mighty empires of the earth, which have risen and fallen .we will see the cause of their downlall to 'be almost Invariably, their exptbi'lve policy. Take tor instance Babylon, that srreat city and ae? to What an end It camo. It* authority extended from the banks or the Enpbratea to tbe River of Egypt* For centuries Asia trembled at tbe tramp of its armies, and tbe terror of'lts name. Well might the proud mpnarcb exclaim, as be stood upon tbe roof of bis palabe and looked out over tbe broad expanse of tbe city, "Is not this great Babylon, wbioh I bave bullded ?" It was lndeod a grand sight. Behold the grand edifices lift* ing their airy tops among tbe olouds; the great Temple of tbe Sevw:Spheres rising in spiral oolumB toward the sun. But with all fhese and the broad expanse of his mighty empire, tbe great king was "weighed in tbe 'balanoe, and found wanting, and bis kingdom divided and given to tbe Modes and Persians." Tbe cause of tbe down fall of tbls great empire can easily be Been. It had expanded beyond tbe bounds of reason and common sense, and therefore suffered the consequences vThe next most striking example afforded Aft toy history of the fall of empires from ngpanslon, 18 tbe empire of Alexander. That peat genius ;had?tbe world at bis feet, but at mi death the'empire fell to pieces. In tbe Book of Daniel we read that when he was strong, the great born was broken; and for It came up four notable ones toward tbe four winds of Hetven. It was not Intended that there shonld be a universal empire, and therefore tbe conqueror's mad oourse of conquest and expansion was cut short by blB last enemy?death. Ana now we come to Rome, once the mis treM or toe woria. ?ome bhl od ner seven hills and swayed tb? destlnen of nations for -' I'lQjOtTT~ P?" is fallen. She too bat) gone oeyrond the bonnda of reason In establishing a world em plre and now see "bow are tbe mtgbty fallen." Readers of blstory will remember that the emperor Trajan, was a soldier by profession and talent, and that In order to acquire military glory be extended the bound of tbe empire beyond tbe old limits wblcbbad been held by Augustus and tbe other Caesars. But wben his kinsman Hadrian, came to tbe tbrone be re-established the old boundary lines, because he very readily saw that a further annexation of territory would not be for tbe best Interests of tbe Roman people. He knew that If tbe empire was extended further, tbe government would be weaker and unable to control so vast an extension of territory. He saw further that If tbe empire was made larger the barbarians would come pouring in on every band, and break down every trace of tbe government He was a wise statesman, and some of our modern politicians might do well to follow in bis footsteps. But even under the conservative policy of Hardrlan the empire was still too large. It extended over the whole civilized ana many parts of tbe uncivilized world, and thnrAfore could not be governed effectively. We cao very readily see the cause of the down-fall of Rome to be ber mad course of lDBurpatlon and tyranny. Spain affords ns a good example of tbe evil consequences wblcb never tall to follow a course of expansion. During: tbe sixteenth century that country was tbe leading power of Europe. It bad Its colonial possesions Id almost every part of tbe world. Bat as Is always tbe case when sbe became so powerful, sbe began a course of Imperialism and tyranny. Tbe recent war between tbe United States and Spain bas taken away from ber ber most valuable colonlol possessions, and now sbe stands as an eyesore, I mlgbt say, In tbe eyes of tbe olvlllzed world. Tbe French Empire under Napoleon gives us another warning against expansion and territorial greed, Napoleon had Europe quaking and trembling at his feet, and delug* ed that continent wltb blood for years France at tbls period mlgbt bave had tbe most prosperous and brilliant era of ber history, bad It not been for the mad ambition and Insatiable greed of ber emperor. As we look upon tbe commanding belght of glory to which Napoleon attained, and admire the geDlus and dash of tbe great chief, a lonely rock rises out of the sea for o'.r meditation. Wbata fall for that genius wbo had bad the world ror ttie sway 01 ms migniy lnienecr, now confined to a barren rock; and all the fruits of expansion. These are only a few examples of the fall of nations from expansion'. As we read history there Is nothing I think which strikes us so forcibly as this fact?the fall of empires from territorial greed. Shall we not profit by the examples of the past ? If we enter upon their policy of conquest and territorial expansion, what Is to binder us from following them to their fall? My opponents will doubtless tell you that America Is different from every other nation that ever existed ; that she knows what she is doing, and has sense enough to stop expanding when the time comes. But ladles and gentlemen, have the examples afforded us by history proven this to be true ? Do you not suppose the Romans thought they bad sense enough to snow when to stop extending their territory? Doubtless Napoleon Booaparte thought he was sure of hlB ground and bad control of bis ambition. But when a nation once starts on a course of acquisition of territory, they become puffed up by their foreign conquest, and are willing to undertake almost anything to further the objects of their ambition. I can iblnk of no belter argument against u-rnanalnn than firm of Washington's men sages to Congress, in which be said, "Separated as we are by a world of water from otber nations, we shall If we are wise, surely avoid being drawn Into the labyrinth of their politics and Involved In their destructive ware." Surely the "Father of his Country" knew better about suoh matters than tbe progressive and expansive politicians of to-day. It Is wonderful what an insight Washington had Into the luture. Yon will remember that In his farewell address be cautioned his countrymen to avoid disputes and sectional feeling; which resulted In the Civil War. And now we And be anticipated another, and perhaps a greater evil, and again cautioned bis countrymen against a policy of foreign acquisition of territory, because he very readily saw that It would not be for tbe best Interests of the American people. Mr. W. G. McGee, vice president of the National Geographic Society, in au address on the growth of the Uo lied States, first calls attention to tbe faot that with the annexatlon of Hawaii an end came to America's longest period of Inactivity In territorial expansion?a period of thirty-one years. But i ?_ TtAOfO BAI1 txHll llflfl IUU& UHU& UVCI bUUOO jcaia auu juw <! wv%. that they make up the most brilliant era of our country?times when the arts flourished, literature was made for our nation, and was such an age of science and Invention aa the world had never seen. Men Instead of trying to expand their territory, expanded their minds, now we have the result and a glorious result it Is. The same author Just quoted, goes on to say that the American of to-day must look for Indications of results to follow from expansion In the future, to the lessons of 1803, 1821, 1845 and 1848, which are the dates you will remember of the Loulsana Purchase, the annexation of Florida, the admission of Texas and the admission of California, respectively. But I would rattier Bay, look 10 me lessons 01 naoylon.Rorae, Spain and the empire ot Napoleon for the solution of this problem of expansion. Mr. McGee says further, that hundreds of Philippine Islands are looking to America for proteotlon and ultimate absorption. I cannot understand bow be arrives at this conclusion, when Agulnaldo and bis brave followers are fighting for tbelr liberties and tberlgbtB to which they are entitled. Men whose names may be handed down to their posterity as the naraesof Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, are banded down to us. Men who were not afraid to fight for their lives, their liberties, their property and their sacred honor. A terrible evil of expansion is that It would , take away the very flower of our young mani hood to be the victims of tropical climates r and the bullets of half civilized people. i Young men who should be In our colleges and i universities, Instead of In our army fighting > for an unjust cause. It seems to me that we have enough territory right here at home to keep us busy for the next llfty or seventy five years. Why not , govern what we have well, Instead of having bo much that we cannot go> ern it all. So much that the democratic principles of gov eminent cannot extend over It. I don t see what the expansionists want with more terrl. tory. Our dominion now stretch^ from wea to sea, u distance of three thousand miion, and within ihoso bounds lie some of the fair est and richest portions of the earth. If those lands were crowded with population, there might be Rome excuse for expansion, but certainly not when,we have room for millions ? more of people for years to come. Some ministers of tbe Gospel, wiio are in favor of expansion, will tell you that it would be a meansof Christianizing the world. But If attention were paid to the vice and cwrupllon of our land It seems to me we woulcPbave as much as we could attend to. And besides we do not have to own tbe land to send missionaries into It. Does shooting men down in cold blood and sending their soul Into eternity, without saving one word to tbem of Christ and His Holy Word look like Christianizing them? Statistics show that the farmers are almost universally In lavor of tbe Independence of Cuba, the Philippines and against free trade with Puerto Rloo. This is very easily ex plained when we remember that it is to their highest Uiterest to prevent coIodIrI empire beyond tue realm of reason and tbe national welfare. . , Mr. President, if we were going ten thousand miles away from home to find room for our surplus population, and if we needed lands to settle, expansion w'ould take a very different face upon it. But we are not going acrou tbe ocean for that purpose. We are going there to secure raoes for subjection under tbe flag. Under that flag which was never Known to wave over anything but tbe "land of tbe free, and the home of tbe brave." Why sir, should Its stars and stripes be polluted now by waving over a servile nation. "When Freedom from her mountain height, Unfurled her standard to the air, She tore tbe azure rone of night. And set tbe stars of glory there! Do yon think, ladles and getlemen, that Puerto Rico or Cuba or tbe Philippine Islands Will add other stars to tbe crown of dory up. pon our flog? If they ever reached that elevated position, tbey oould not be seen for their very blackneHB among Freedom's sura. We might however discern tbeir outline by the streaking of the blood of American soldiers across tbeir discs. Mr. President, it seems to me that the sacrifice of onr American soldiery, the noblest in all the world, l? too dear a price to pay for territory we do no>. need. I firmly believe that If we abonld subdue the Philippines tbey would be dissatisfied and tbat it would be necessary to keep standing armies there all the time. If this should be done It would be going against the very principle of the Declaration of Independence. 1 hope I shall live to see the day when our beloved fiasr shall wave over a conquered people, but I sincerely hope that I shall live to see tbat day when those bright and beautiful stars thatare under the flag now, shall be exalted to the skies, there to roll in glory among tbe constellations ol liberty and equality. SOUTHERN CHIVALRY. Essay Before the Palmetto Literary Society by Minn flnnd UoIIIdknworth. The manners and customs of the Southern people have been described frequently for us and these descriptions are often tbe fabric of an Inventive mind or tbe fancy of an hostile Imagination. To many the most pleasing part of tb6 portraiture, Is the ascribing to us of "plantation iiiuauem, auuuu?iug >u uo a user ?Uv. >uuw1 ted aversion to labor of all kinds, together, with a, strange neglect of the comforts and enjoyments orllfe. Only recently a visitor In our State from New Jersey, bus pictured us as wanting Id all the luxuries and delicacies ol the table, and bad announced that tbe most beneficent Influence to health and eDjoymentare vast and varied amounts of hog and hominy, and a taste for rice, essential food, for mind and body, and many Indulgences In these luxuries necessary to fit us for reflection and meditation, but even theu fail to excite to action. None have done us the Injustice to say that we were lacking In hospitality, and all are agreed that Southern hospitality Is as broad as oharlty and as enduring as the word of God. Mine be the agreeable task of reminding you Of tbe action, patriotism and adventure of an Emily Gelger, Martha Bratton, and Rebecca Motte, and tbelr descendants who rale a gallant and chivalrous race of men by a power stronger than all laws. A people among whom the men have In their characters something of tbe Hotspurs aDd the dash ot tbe Navarres. Men who were born In the sohool of warand who have illustrated Southern bravery and honor on the plalDS of Mexico, tbe tleldsof Virginia, and the fslands of Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Phillippines. To whom courtesy and amenity are Innate aqd natural, whose polish has no veneer about It and to whom deference and respest to women has descended from father to son, for generation to generation, a community ;of men who are manly men. who bear "without reproach tbe grand old name of gentleman," and who instinctively raise their hats to tbe man who breaks stones on the street, or tbe woman who leads a cow with a halter. Those characters are no doubt Inherited, and can be traced backward as far as tbe stock from which they sprang, and tbe in" ' ma Ki haa miinh t n nuence OI IOC UJIUiULO UU VAVfUCTU i*t?o ??' do with tbe manners and custom of a people. In a cold country the Influence of tbe weather compels Its citizens to make provision lor its severity, and necessity compels the acquiring of tbe virtues of industry and diligence. With us tbe conditions are different. Here, no stern winter comes to wrap the blighted leaves and flowers in winding sheets of snow, to lock the bosom of our mother earth and to "freeze up tbe genial currents of the soul." The fruits and flowers go on unchecked and In rotation so that In due season we may enjoy them. All our surroundings orush out all feelings of despotism and encourage a feeling of personal Independence, and an aptness to speak, think and feel, as we choose, with none to molest, or make us afraid, and having no no check but the law. Tbe spirit of chivalry is made manifest in many of our people by their descendant from English ana Scotch Irish stock from old knights in armor and dukes In Kilts of tbe Gordon plaid, and from those who originated tbe Tournament when many ladles of quality nnri hiph rank were assembled, anil when the Queen of Love and Beauty was crowned by tbe successful Knight. Tbe patrons of shooting matches, and tbe lovers of the chase-such Is oar English decent, with none of the badges of Inferiority and with no privileged olaaa, I have tried to trace Southern Chivalry with many Imperfections. I know I have not overated Its Importance, Valor, fortitude and chivalry claim our admiration, and 1 have placed It where I truly believe it belongs, in a great measure on tbe brow of the Southern Gentleman.
