B' inventor of logarithm, and that Sir ,

ggp the acknowledged hero of a family of
ro heroes. And who has not felt his
rat blood run faster as he read of Luckily
now, with its little band of Britons
jPv and t^eir women and children, hudElf
died together, expecting every momWm
cut to be' overwhelmed by the hordes
J of mutinous Sepoys, when?
if "Up spake a 'Scottish maiden,
Wjith her ear upon the ground:
& 'Dinna ye hear it??dinna ye hear it?
K ' The pipes of Ilavelock sound'!"
K Then, with what joy they listened,
A while?
" Louder, neareV, fierce as vengeance,
H Sharp and thrill as swords at' strife,
R Came the wild MacOregor's clan-call,
Stinging all the air to life."
Tn our own land, the Scotch and
K the Scotch-Irish have shown Hicmselves
worthy descendant's of their
Kaftvnliant sires. From the border wars
^r&witli the French and Indians in Colj&WjOiiial
days, to the War with Spain,
}lM; and the pacification of the Phillippines,
the 'Scotch and the ScotcliIrish
have ever borne an honorable
$$? part. It was a Scotchman, a mem
ber.of your owm .society. General William
-Moultrie, and his handful of
i heroic men. who, by the defeat of (lie
ft British fleet under Sir Peter Parti
her, irrevocably committed the CaroUnas
to the cause of independenevj,
K and il is well known in Charlotte that
y- a larire proportion of the signers of
K the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence
were of Scotch and
; Seotch-Trish descent. It was a Scot
P, who carried the victorious arms of
our country to the Capital of Mexico,
i and to tell u? even the most distinguished
of the 'Scotch and Scotcli*
Trish who participated on both sides
in our Civil War would make any adi
dress far too long for an occasion
EI such ns this.
Tu their native land the Scotts
have carried I ho industries based on
their natural resources to the highest
degree of perfection. Scotch woolen
<roods are unsurpassed by those of
any other country, and the Scotch
| and the Scotch-Trish in Ireland have
| set the standard of the world in the
? manufacture of linens. The iron and
I steel industrv of Scotland, founded
I at an early date, has been highly de4
veloped. Ship building has thrived

Bruce, and. in the present- flay, the
highest development of Scotch industrv
is found in I ho shipyards on
the Clyde, and Ihe Seotch-Trish shipyards
at Belfast". Fi'om these yards
have oomo a great part of the merchant
and war fleets of Britain, and,
in the Lusilania. they have their
crowning achievement'. In Ameriea,
the Soot eh and the Scoteh-Trish have
had a wider field for the development
of industrial leadership. All the
world knows what Andrew Carnegie
and his associates, largely Scotchmen
and men df Scotch descent, J
achieved in the building up (if the
iron and steel industry about Pittsburg,
and Alexander Graham Bell,
the inventor of the telebhone, is a
man of Scotch ancestry.
Noi even Ihe briefest review of
Scotch achievement- would be complete
without some reference to the
financial {renins of the race which
produced William Paterson, the
, ^founder oil' the Hank of Knjyland.
The banking system of Scotland has
i. <ni{untained an enviable reputation
fovwioiindness, and is pointed to today
yi.v some of the advocates of
bankruir and eurrencv reform as the
model i|min which the system of this
countrynshould he based, and I have j
do doul>V tHftt the hiyh reputation of
the haul<Y (,f 'Oharlest'on is due, i:i
no snudl ' measure, to influences in
their mannurcmcnl attributable to|
the men of Scotch ancestry who
have from time to time been mem|
hers of this society. The fiscal svstcm
of our government was devised
kby a man of Scotch descent Alexander
Hamilton?and it stands to-I
- day, with .few modifications, as a
| monument to his "-cuius. Not only in

Satire policy of our government and
jHrain molding tIn* character of its inHffist.itntions,

mktof our presidents have been of Scotch
BHjor Scotch-Irish descent. The list ing^R'
hides Monroe, Jackson, Polk, "Buehf|Hinan.

ffl^KThe strains of Scotch and ScolchSSHysh

in colonial days, and which have
ns^Bicc been enriched by fresh accesHgMis,
have leavened our whole popuH^Hiii

most of its opportunities, and to work
harmoniously with all agencies contributing
to civic advancement in the ,
spirit of "a good understanding and

of a greater Charleston, in which the

if it is true, as reported, that a New;

The dark blue silk beaver Gainsborough

one.day was trimmed with two ltoyul
Crown Russian sable skins, made
into an immense scarf that circled
the crown and was knotted at the j
Iv'ft side, where the heads and tails
of the animals did duty for a bow.
These Russian sable skins retail at
$450 a piece, and the hat could easily
have cost .$1,000 at a fashionable |
Fifth avenue shop.
Hats trimmed with ermine and j
Trish lace mount easily into the hundreds,
as do the gnazy spangled effects,
especially when the garniture
is a bird of paradise. Then there
are a number of rich women who
spend $200 and $1100 apiece for hats.

there is some misunderstanding there.
Lord Fairfax would not become en- (
titled to sit in Ihe House of Lords
by the simple act of renouncing his
American citizenship, llo is not a i
peer of the United Kingdom, but of |
Scotland; he is "the Baron Fairfax, .
of Cameron."
Only sixteen Scottish peers sit in
the House of Lords, and they are
elected to it by the whole body of
the Scottish peerage. -Should Lord ?
Kairfax renounce his American citizenship
iie must still bo elected by
his fellow Scottish peers to the 1
Mouse of Lords before he can sit
there.

would be wise to follow more of the
examples of Senator Latimer.
