inventor of logarithm, and that Sir Charles Napier who has been called, the acknowledged hero of a family of heroes. And who has not felt his blood run faster as he read of Luck now. with its little ba;nd of Britons and their women and children, hud dled together. expecting every mom ent to be overwhelmed by the hordes of mutino ;u Sepoys. when "Up spake a Scottish maiden, With her ear upon the ground: 'Dinna ye hear it?--dinna ye hear it? The pipes of Havelock sound'!" Then. with what joy they listened, while ''Louder. neare'r. fierce as vengeance, Sharp and thrill as swords at strife. Came the wild MacGregor's clan-call, Stinging all the air to life." In our own land. the Scotch and the Scotch-Irish have shown them selves worthy .descendants of their valiant sires. From the border wars with the French and Indians in Col onial days. to the War with Spain, and the pacification of the Phillip pines, the 'Scotch and the Scotch Irish have ever borne an honorable part. It was a Scotchmap, a mem ber ,of your own society. General Wil liam Moultrie. and his handful of heroic men, who, by the defeat of the British fleet under Sir Peter Par ker, irrevocably com-itted the Caro linas to the cause of independence, and it is well known in Charlotte that a large proportion of the signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Ii dependence were of Scotch ' and Scotch-Irish descent. It was a Scot -who earried the victorious.* arms of our country to the Capital of Mexico, and to tell of even the most distin auished of the Scotch -and Scotch Irish who participated on both sides in our Civil War would make any ad dress far too long for an occasion such as this. In their native land the* Scotts have carried the industries based on their-natural resources to the highest degree of perfection. Scotch woolen goods are unsurpassed by those of any other country, and the Scotch and th'e Seotch-Itish in Ireland have set the standard of the world in the myanufacture of linens. The iron and steel industry of Scotland. founded at an early date, has been highly de veloped. Shiip building has thrived in Scotland since the time: of The Errne. and, in the present day, the highest development of Scotch in dustry is found in the shipyards on the Clyde, and the Scoteh-Irish ship yards at Belfast. .From t.hese yards have come a great part of the mer chant and war fleets of Britain, and, in the Lusitania, they have their cerowning achievement. .In Ameriea, - the Seotch and the Scoteh-Irish have had a wider field for the development of industrial leadership. All the world knows what Andrew Carne Fg ie and his associates, largely Scotch men and men of Scotch descent, achieved in the building up of the iron and steel industry about Pitts burg. and Alexander G-raham Bell, the inventor of the telebhone, is a man of Scoteh ancestry. Niot even the briefest reviewv of Seotch achievement would he com plete without some reference to the financial genius of the race which produced William Paterson, . th.e foundet of the ~Bank of England. The banking system of Scotland has n intained an enviable reputation or, soundness, and is pointed .to to day \by some of the advocates of banking and currency reform as the model upon which the system of this country should be based, and I have' no doubt tl#t the high reputation of the banks ofiOharleston is due, in no - small measure, to influences in 'their managemenlt attributable to t.he men of Scotch ~ancestry who have~ from time to time been mem bers of this society. The fiscal sys 'tem of our government was devised by a man of Scot.eh descent--Alex anrler Hamilton-and it stands to day, with few modifications, as .a monument to his genius. Not only in fiscal affairs. but in shaping the en ire policy of oar government and in molding the character of its in stitutions. have men of Scotish bloodI ecen influential. No less than eight of our presidents have been of Scotch or Scotch-Irish descent. The list in lades Monroe, Jackson. Polk. 'Buch nan. Grant. Hayes, Arthur. and Mc inley. TI'e strains of Scoteh and Scoteh sh blood which catme into our coun in colonial days. and which have -e been enriched by fresh acces .e. have leavened our whole popu~ n with the spirit of the Scots fought with Wallace and with e. Ever champions of indiviual 'ty, they have been firm uphold f an orderly government in the of those lines by Burns: The wretch that wad a tyraint owi And the wretch. his t rue-bor br"othier. Who would set the mob aboon th throne, May they be damne;l ttgetIr. In no locality has the Scotch in .i'uence been more pote:it than in th 1Woim:s. espetially in the Cit o CIarles!on. where.

Lord Fairfax would not become en y titled to sit in the House of Lords -by the simple act of renouncing his e American citizenship. He is not a a peer of the United Kingdom, but of e Scotland; he is "the Baron Fairfax, s of Cameron." Only sixteen Scottish peers sit in t the House of Lords, and they are - elected to it by the whole body of e the Scottish peerage. Should Lord Fairfax renounce his American cit d izenship he must still be elected by his fellow Scottish peers to the House of Lords before he can sit e there. e - o In our opinion, Senator Tillman would be wise to follow more of the examples of Senator Latimer.
