LORENCEf Daily Times V X vT0L XI. FLORENCE, S. C., THURSDAY) OCTOBER 13, 1904 NO 29 FOR CAROLINA. Col. Dargan Puts Record. us on AT THE PEACE CONGRESS. The Only Representative From South of Potomac River. He Accomplishes the Great Object of Mis Trip. Col. J. J. Dargan has recently returned from the inter national peace conference in Bos ton. He was sent as the .represen tative of the South Carolina Teach . er's association'and was the only delegate from that great section of the Vnited States that lives south ofthePotamac river. He was most cordially received and enjoy ed the meeting most) thoroughly. In that conference were men and women of world wide reputations, whose names are as familiar in South Carolina as they are in Eng land or Germany. Col. Dargan went there very largely with the express purpose of putting on record the |fact that South Carolina was entitled to the honor of taking the lead in demand for Universal peace. The convention held in Boston, and in Tremont temple, where Charles Summer made a speech on the subject of the world’s peace that has been exploited over the world and through all histories as tho first move in this direction, and which was frequently referred to with great pride am? gusto in the meeting. He succeeded in having his speech on the subject put in the published records ot the conference where it will have world wide circulation. The following is the address. Mr. President, Ladies and Gen tlemen: I highly appreciate the privilege granted me cf addressing this congress. I feel sure we are making history here and history of the most creditable kind, which will grow in esteem as —p'is ■‘1V r.M * i-. a 11 y r't nor e pi ■ .1 t-j be found on the roll of Fein(ersirip of this body and among those who take an active part in these proceedings. Bat above all I am glad to be here to afford proof that the people of my state, South Carolina, are awake to the importauce of this move ment, and are determined to do their part towards its advance ment. I come as the representa tive of the State Teachers’ associa- rtion, regularly and formally com missioned to act for that large and influential and devoted body of educators, and 1 speak for them when I declare that we are "‘en listed for the war,” in this war against war, and will be fouid faithful and energectic at every stage, until the cause shall be brought to a complete triumph. It is gratifying i ndeed, for us to < be able to place beside the glori- j ions names of the sous of Massa- ' chnsetts who in the past have lab- ' ored to enlighten the public un-! he said: “Peace is indeed our pol icy.

As early as 1838, in.a report on the petition of the New York Peace society, Hugh fck Legare, of Bouth Carolina, as chairman of the committee of the national house of representatives on foreign affairs, —said: “The comipittee need scarcely say that they fully appreciate aud sympathize with the philanthropic feelings and purposes expressed in the memorial. They agree that the union of all nations in a state of peace, under the restraints and protection of law, is the ideal per- fection of civil society. Not, how ever, that they would be under stood as affirming that war has al ways, iu the history of mankind, been an unmixed or uncompen sated evil. * * *Q»It is sutli- cieut, in this connection, barely to mention the names of Alexander "nd Charlemagne.

A single extract will show the trei d of his tho.ight. He says: “War after all is the! reign of vitlence, and violence Is the scourge of the human racd.** “We may boast of the valor of our troops, but submission to the law and respect' for the liberties of their country are the crowning j glory of the patriot army that fought the battles of the Itevolu tion. Who will compare the bloody laurels of the conqueror j Withit u? mild lustre that sur- roun is the brow of the magistrate ! who gives laws to mankind? What j does it sqxi'fy that some have' fought aud bled and signalized i tae bloody arena by great exhibi- ' tions of moial and jihyicalstrength | if the cviiit has been barren of' good results? But they who have developed the resources of their ' country, w io hive increased the amount of rational and innocent i enjoyment, or diminishe l theevi s of human life are justly hailed as the benefactors aud fathers of man kind.” Would that the world were as familiar with Petigrn’s great ora- i tion as with Sumner’s magnificent deliverance on the ever memorable ; Ith of July, 1845.

His prayer for peace in his poem on Christmas in 1864 may be plac ed by the side of anything from Whittier or Longfellow, with no fear of its suffering eclipse by its proximity to such noble utterances Let us quote a few verses. ••Jle who, till time shftll cease.

Kuropatkin’s advance has been met with a counter advance of the forces under Field Marshal Oyama. According to advices received at TDkio a general engage ment is in progress between Liao Yang and Mukden; bat reports from Bussian sources describe the fighting there as merely in the nature of advance guard actions. Gen. Knropatkin is reported to be aiming to strike simultaneously at two widely separated points on the Japanese left. There has been hard fighting a short distance north of Bensihu, in which a loss of 150 in killed or wounded is ad mitted. The Japanese claim to have cut off a Bussian column south of the Taitse river. No official leports from the front were received by the Bussiau war office last night, and the fact is re garded in some quarters as indi cating the nousuccess thns far of Gen. Knropatkin’s forward move ment. Military authorities, how ever, point out that owing to the magnitude of the movement planned, it is too early to expect news of decisive results. Letter to M.
