WALHALLA, 8. C.:
WEDNESDAY. MARCH 4, 1008.
CEN. WASHINGTON'S ANCESTRY.
Discovered ?iat ?it? Descended from
Famous English Kings.
(Caro. Tickner, in Harper's Weekly)
"Let no man faucy he knows
sport," said tho late Moncure D. Con
way, "unies* he has family-treed an
ancestor of Goorge Washington."
Yet, despite the many clover schol
ars and antiquarians of America,
who have tried their hands at this
sport, it has remained for a fellow
of the Royal Historical Society of
England, Rev. Frederick W. Ragg.
to convey to us the latest Interesting
revelation regarding the ancestry of
our first President.
Barring those who champion tho
truly democratic standpoint, less
prevalent to-day than It was In 1S20.
which scorns to connect itself with
Old World titles and abhors royalty,
there romain many liberal souls
among us who do not grudge to one
who was acknowledged llrst in war
and itrst In peace a share in the hom
age accorded the first family of Flag
land.
Edward I was himself a mighty
warrior, and first in many wars; his
prow sss was early exercised on tho
Turks, durlOg that last crusade ever
embarked on ny England's kings,and
when the throne became his own he
successtully carried out his p oject of
uniting England, Scotland anJWales.
He brought the famous Scone to
Westminster Abbey, and under him
Englnnd became a mighty nation. He
was a monarch wise and great, even
though ho had little leaning toward
democratic government and did not
display special fondness for Magna
Charta. Edward Longshank? was not
an ancestor to be despised by his de
scendant George, of knightly bearing
and equally long legs.
That this direct line of descent has
not until now been established may
seem a blt surprising in view of the
exhaustive research that has been
devoted to the Washington ano*-"try.
The reason ls, however, not difficult
to understand when one reflects that
such research has been concerned ex
clusively with the male line, while
this royal blood ls introduced into
tho family by Marguaret Butler, who
mnrrled Laurence Washington in
% 1588.
Good for Everybody.
Norman R. Coulter, a prominent
architect In the Delbert Building.
San Ptti.iclseo, says: "1 fully en
dorse al! that has bee: ?aid of Elec
tric Bittere as a tonic medicine. Il
ls good for everybody. lt corrects
itomach, liver and kidney disorders
In n prompt and efficient manner and
builds up the system." Electric Bit
ters ls the best spring medicine ever
sold over a druggists' counter; ns a
blood purifier it is unequaled. 5 0c.
