OlA OLDEST ST. ANDREW'S SOCIETY IN AMERIC The Scottish American: In your issue of January 17th, M Robert Earle May, President of tl Scots' Charitable Society, Bosto said, "I know it would be intere ing reading to me and many othe if President Moffitt or some oth< member of the St. Andrew's Sociel of Charleston, would give us in the: columns a history of its founding Acting on that suggestion, the Si ciety at its next monthly meeting adopted a resolution entrusting 1 me the grateful task of preparir "a sketch of the history of the Soc ety for The Scottish American." brief "sketch" it must be to ada] it to the limits of these columns. 1 do the subject full and worthy ju tice one could fill a good sized bool for the history of our Society, unlil the "short and simple annals of tl poor," embraces a period of almo: two hundred years during which th Society had many stirring exper ences. On St. Andrew's Day, the 30th c November, 1729, a number of Cha: leston gentlemen, nearly all Sco: by birth, formed themselves into society for the purpose of cultiva ing and maintaining "a good undei standing and acquaintance with or another,' 'and with the design "c promoting some public good by the joint endeavor." They called th society "The Saint Andrew's Clul at Charleston, in South Carolina. Membership was not limited to me of Scottish birth or blood, for th rules declared that "any man c honour and integrity, of what natioi degree, or profession soever," ws admissable into the Society. Let us note that this declaratoi of the doctrine of human brothei hood was made by those Scots c Charleston sixty-five years befor Burns sang "It's comin' yet, for a' that, That man to man, the world o'e Shall brithers be for a' that." And how long agon in America history all this happened is shown b the striking fact that the city of Ba timore and the Saint Andrew's Soci< ty of Charleston, were founded i the same year?A. D.. 1729. The list of new members adde in 1780?during the British occups tion?discloses the fact that the S Andrew's Society was loyal to til Crown. Fifteen of those new men bers were^ British officers, includinj besides majors and captains, a Sco tish peer, a baronet, and six col< nels. Between 1781 and 1787 there wj a great gulf fixed; and on the n vival of the Society in 1787 we fin that Gen. William Moultrie wi elected president,?a fact which tel its own story. In the Columbia Htfrald, Nov. 19th, 1787, appeare the following interesting notice "The members of the Old St. Ai drew's Club in Charleston, and thos who wish to,become members of tt same, are requested to give in the names at the Bar of William's Cofft House." " It appears that the Society had r hall nor home of its own until 181' and that its meetings were held i private houses. In the South Can line Gazette of 1732 is an account < the anniversary meeting of St. Ai drew's Club, at which "his exce lency the Governor, Alex. Skene, etc. etc., "and about 49 other men ' bers residing in the province, met j the house of Mr. Henry Gignilliat On St. Andrew's Day, 1815, tt Society dined for the first time i their own new hall, a handson building on Broad street, next ti old cathedral. Here were held the annual and monthly meetings unt 1861, when, on the nieht of Decen ber, 11th, the St. Andrew's Sociel Hall was utterly destroyed in tl great fire which devastated half c Charleston. Fortunately the records of tl Society were saved, as were also tl greatly prized suff-mulls, as anciei as the Society itself. The painting which had adorned the walls wei rescued, and sent for safekeeping i Columbia, there to be lost whe Sherman's army burst Columbia i February, 1865. Of its cherished possessions tl Society values most highly the pare! ment roll on which, besides the nr ginal rules, are the autograph sign tures of all the members from 172 until the Revolutionary War. It somewhat humbling to mere nu with his brief span of life to loc on a parchment that has for near two centuries defied the tooth < time, and has passed unscath< through the perils of wars, siege bombardments, fire, earthquake, c clone, tidal waves, whcih are part < the stirring history of the old cr of Charleston. The St. Andrew's Society of Cha leston has been conducted as a cha itable institution, dispensing i charity to the poor and needy, carii for the widow and fatherless, hel ing any poor Scot who was down c his luck, but not yet limiting i beneficence to any nationalit Moreover, many years before tl State established the free comm( school system, the Society raised fund of $15,000, and built an mai A tained a free school for the childr( of the poor. Charleston is justly proud of hi St. Andrew's Society, proud of i r' splendid record as a dispenser < ie I charity, and also of the fact that n'jis the oldest St. Andrew's Sociei s iin the United States. It is doubtf rs j if there is another in the world i jrj ancient. i Grimshawes, N. C. W. C. Bene 5e, .
