JOHN lt. ARGIOR MULLALLY. dontlomau, Scholar, Statesman-A Mighty Wielder of Wcightly l'on. Pendleton, Oct. 20.-Editor Keo wee Courier: Truly "a prophet is not Without honor save In his own coun try and among his own people." The South peculiarly has been charged with failing to give adequate expres sion of appreciation of, or encour agement to, its more gifted sons, es pecially in the Heids of poesy and literature. We have here living aiming us, in his native place, a very honored and accomplished mau -most highly dis tinguished in Xew York and all over the country, and yet, in his own na tive State of South Carolina, hardly noticed in his modest retirement. An orator, a versatile writer, a phi losopher, scholar, philanthropist, a patriot, jurist, statesman, poet, and withal a real Democrat-a friend of and loved hy the common people, a good "mixer," and a charming Chris tian gentleman, as witty as he is wise, and as wise as he is kind and lea rless. The following little incident that came to me by way of a city farther down the State illustrates what I am saying. Mut Hist let mo say that w< ought to learn about our boys who have gone forth Into the world and made South Carolina famous in every held of noble effort and of high endeavor, and we ought to talk about them and hold them up as an exam ple to our youth as well as an Incent ive and an encouragement. Some time ago a young lady school teacher in a city of this Stato wrote to the president of the "Interborough As sociation of Women Teachers of the City of the Creator New York," ask ing her how the women teachers of Xew York's five great Boroughs some twenty and odd thousands-got their great increase in pay. The lady replied that the women teach ers had agitated, agitated, agitated and then held a big mass meeting in Carnegie Hall; that they had speak ing, and that then a young South Carolinian named Adger Mullally had read a poem, which brought the vast audience to its feet; that the grand Carnegie Hall organ pealed out and the song was lifted hy tho thousands of voices of those there as sembled; that every one of the hun dreds of thousands of school chil dren, yes. millions-of New York and vicinity learned lt, and that be fore Christmas had again come the community, the city administration, State Assembly and Senate had been awakened-and so the relief came. 1 send you a copy of the printed pro gram, uf which many thousands were distributed, and I think tho incident worth printing. Mr. Vullally has taken up his per manent residence in his native State, and wc Pendleton neo pie, who ad mire him greatly and art- so proud of Slim, and loved his grandfather. Dr. Adger, and his father, Dr. Mullally, expect hin: to be our Governor of '?..'?'. ;?>'?. in tn.* ci ry of New V nc.; -'nue or?b?! >'. >.<. ,v %fi$% . ?. tuen ptOVt?d 01 oucu titrai ueueiii LO the New Yorkers, follows: Justifia Fiat, Coolum Hunt.
