DAY ORATION Eloquent Protrayal of the Position This State Has Occupied Since the Foundation of the Government. Norfolk, Special.-Hon. Walter Hazard/ of Georgetown was the ora tor fot South Carolina day at the Jamestown exposition. . Mr. Hazard was selected for this signal honor hy the South Carolina commission, and right well did he acquit himself. , .Mr; Hazard's address was largely a historical review of the development of this country from thc landing of Columbus - to the present day. Mr* Hazard said in part: In the inspiring presence of this assemblage, composed SD largely .>? representatives of two of the most famous of the original 13 colonies, one feels an acute consciousness .if fact that he is ? standing on hallow I ed ground-ground made sacred by the toils and the sufferings, the blood and the tears, the joys and the sor rows of ten generations of American freemen. Only a few miles to the Westward, on the bosom of the ma jestic rive the music of whose waters today sounds in our ears, floats the little island where the first perma nent English settlement on this con tinent was established, and Jo which the civil and political principles de veloped by the Anglo-Saxon through centuries of struggle and of growth were transplanted, there id blossom anew for the healing of thc nations. Not far to thc north lies the city whose name will be forever linked in thc annals of history with the closing chapter of thc Revolutionary war, on whose shattered walls the battle flag of Great Britain was furl ed in final defeat. And less than a hundred and fifty miles heuce, as tho eye gazes toward the mountains bat?i ed in the tender purples of distance, lies the tranquil Appomattox, where the flowers of hope that blossomed at the cradle of the Southern Con federacy dropped their faded petals over its untimely grave J where the greatest soldier in all the tide of time sheathed at last his stainless sword and the thin gray line which had followed its flashing splendor through the smoke and carnage of battle melted away forever from the vision of men. South Carolina's Work. And so we of the Palmetto State, entering within the hospitable gates of the Old Dominion and bringing here our treasures of art and science, our products of loom and mine and forest and field, to enhance the at tractions of her great ter-centennial exposition, lay our tribute of praise and affection at her feet, that have trod both the paths of peace and tho wine-press of woe, and draw from her fair beauty, her proud dignity and her glorious record, a fresh in spiration for the duties and respon sibilities that rest upon us as' citi zens of a sister commonwealth. It has been wittily said that the only difference between the Virgin ia gentleman and the South Carolina gentleman is that, when the former salutes you, he bows wholly to yon, whereas the lntter, returniug the courtesy, bows half to you and half to himself. There is perhaps just a grain of truth lurking in this piece of pungent satire. For it cannot be denied that there are few beings on the earth, for whom the average South Carolinian lias a more exalt ed regard than a typical son of Ins native State, one "to the manner born." Yet it is no less true that there exists in the breast of the ed ucated Virginian an exquisitely del icate, but well defined, pride of liu cage, a subtle appreciation of the an cient splendors of his ancestral halls and acres, and a fine sense of the pre eminent virtues of his contempora ries within the pale of the Old Do .minion. Yet, since he recognizes with true g enerosity the claims of his South Carolina friends, we may accept his bow. as an admission of thc greatness of our own little State. For to his ears too has come thc fame of our great men, Gadsden, Pinck r.ey," Rutledge and Middleton; Sum ter,, Marion, Moultrie and Horry; Hcyard, Laurens, Calhoun and Mc Duffie; Cheves, Harper and Ward law; Hampton, Pickeus and Butler, Petigm and Hayne, Timrod and Le Conte, and a score of other brilliant names, eminent in war, diplomacy, statecraft, law, literature and the ology, that illumine thc pages of South Carolina's history, have cm belished her fame with an imperish able lustre. Not for Self Praise. But we have not come here today intent upon self-glorification. There is a solemnity of meaning in an oc casion like this that ill comports with vain assertions of our own su periority or with boastful pictures J of what we have accomploshed. The lesson suggested by these exercises is the duty of introspection, and the privilege which it affords is that if inspiration for higher and nobler endeavor in the field of social, po litical and industrial activity, e -1 Headlong Fall of 31 Feet. .Newbern, Special.-John Clodfel ton, a carpenter, employed on the Elks temple, fell 31 feet striking the floor of the building and breaking the temporar}' flooring.

Lawrence Wallace and Fred Lowe while bathing in the James river im mediately below the Richmond Cedar Works found thc body of a baby boy which had been nailed up in a box and set adrift in the river. HOW WOMEN' INSPIRE MEN. The sens of men rule the world, but the daughters of men govern through them. It is woman who founds so ti&ly in its artificial aspects. It is woman who creates class distinctions and insists on maintaining them. It Is woman who Imbues man with desire to emulate, who instills into him social ambition that inevitably brings in its brain the restless fever of ac quisition, the madness of greed, the imbitlon for power through financial success. It is woman who is at once the so cial bulwark, the autocrat and the snob. It is woman who cares for the pretty observances and formalities of social life, and men, wboce vanity and weaknesses become women's strength, pose as lords of creation, while they follow her in blind obedience to in sitimot and vanity, mutely acknowledg bg her power to lead and their own Inability to refuse to follow. An Accommodating Peg.' One of the disadvantages of mod ern shoemaking machinery is that the peg won't fit Itself Into the hole. Time was, according to Mayor E. F. Brown, of Marlboro, when lt was much more accommodating. . ) "One day," he recently informed the Boot and Shoe Club, "my father, a pioneer tn the business, hit the peg and It flew up. What happened? Probably you won't believe me, but It's a fact all the same. The peg hit the ceiling,, came down exactly into the hole and was driven in. But, you know," added Mayor Brown, with a smile, "we don't peg shoes that v/ay nowadays."-Boston Herald. PLANT A PUMPKIN PATCH. : If all the pumpkin seeds in the world were in the hands of a single seedsman and he would use printers' ink freely, making no extravagant claims, but giving the actual facts, he could sell it at fabulous prices. The seed, however, is found on almost ey ery farm. It will pay every farmer to plant pumpkins. Tlhey will furnish him an excellent hog feed and cow feed in the fall. They can be raised very cheaply and fed easily. ' . We doubt, however, whether thc/ common method of growing them In' the corn field is .'.fae best one. The! pumpkin is too great a lover, of stra-i shine to do its best in the shade ol a heavy crop of corn. If planted at the same time with the corn, or even a week later, it interferes more or PIGEON CITIES IN THE SWAMPS. Each spring, in May, all the rosy gulls of a wide region somehow agree to resort to a particular one of vari ous marshy lakes for the purpose of rearing their young. Just how they decide the important question is not for us humans to know. At any rate, what they do select is a great aroa of grass, reeds or rushes growing out of tho ?water, and there, out of the abundance of dry stems, each pair builds a partly floating nest, side by side with others, thousands upon thousands of them.
