WASHINGTON NOTES.
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

Cunningham that Ml Vernon was bOfltau

was a carpet given to Washington by.qaKfi
tbe French Kings,. It was a woven Amtrpiu

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,

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.

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

There 1b otiJjnJPe candidate in tbe field
for governor opUM lo tbe dispensary, and i
[hat Is CoL all these elements are
allied In (lid'H&pwrU aod the proof Is that
Charleston ttt the Jiflt gubernatorial election '
voted for M^peaflferstone and prohibition, f
whoa It is notorious that the whiskey ele- <
meat of that city is predominant and that
tbe dispensary law is not enforced mainly by '
reason of tbe hut morals of the grand Juror* i
who have failed to discharge their duty under
$Huntth?/r <
Colonel Hoyt, last winter In his paper, the I
Mountaineer, urged coalition between the
bfgtajtcense people and tbe prohibitionists 1
tirthe-General Assembly in order to repeal
me dispensary law. 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. ITtitiL such proof is '
.Slveo me I .shall stand by my guns. If a I
Tmhniityllt fanljinr nhnnnrn tn r 11 me a liar and
(CStfmDrob temperance committee feels con- I
to denounoe my opinion of existing
oondltlons as "slander" the people of South i
Carolina Will-Judge between us. If they can :

cats 0& figure. It exists, and that Is all I ;
asserted/sdd to my mind U Is "unholy" and
most make every good man feel uncomfortaJlf

In leu than live years. 1 would degMpre

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.

SPEECH OF ALTHEUS JOHNS?*.
At the Semicentennial of. White
Rock Academy, Held at South
Union, Jnly 10th.. ''
From the Keowee Courier.
Hon. J. Althens Johnson, of Washington,
I). 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. In motherhood woman Is
idmitted. to partnership with God tn the
treating of Immortal beings and the shaping
ind moulding of tham in body, mind and

CROP TALK-BOTTOM CORN GONE,
We brd a nice little rain Monday evening,
out by co means a supply. 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.

EYILS OF EXPANSION.
Fall of EtHplrea In the Pant?MIntakes
to Gnard Against In the Future?
BY LEN WHITE.
Before the Palmetto Literary Society, May
23.1900.
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

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!

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.
