Battle of Kings Mountc
Grand Monument?D
and Patri<
King's Mountain Uattki Ground,
Special.?Thousands of people journeyed
Thursday on n patriotic pilgr.inage.
The battleground of King's
Mountain was the shrine of their
seeking Here in the presence of the
ofTicial heads of North and South
Carolina two United States Sena- ]
tors and two Representatives in Congress?besides
others prominent in
the officialdom of two States, official
dedication was accorded the King's
Mountain monument?a signal recognition
by the Congress of the United
States of the valorous part played in
the war of independence by the soldiers
of the south.
It was a day of many features. Presided
over by Gov. Marin F. An6el of
South Carolina, the exercises of the
morning which were prolonged into
the afternoon were entirely interesting.
Undoubtedly they were to the
nuuience garnered Irom a vast expanse
of many comities in two or
more Commonwealths. For never before
did such an audience, of whom
the majority stood the entire time,
listen for three hours and a half to
constant making of speeches without
the slightest exhibition cf restlessness.
Never had lonesome Kings Mountain
been host to such a concourse.
For a day or two in advance stragglers
had been coming in wagons,
harbingers of the hosts to follow.
From Gaston, from Cleveland, from
York, from Chester, from Spartanburg,
from Mecklenburg, from McDowell,
from Cabarrus, from Lancaster,
from Union, even from Buncombe
they had come, the earliest arrivals
pitching camp by the roadside
and in the woods in true pioneer
fashion.
Before dawn an endless stream of
carnages ana nuggies and wagons
were rattling and rumbling along the
winding ways. Three roads, that
from Kings Mountain, that from
Grover and that from Yorkville had
been put in excellent condition bv
public appropriations and private
subscriptions inspired by civic pride.
Contributing most brightly to the
animation of the occasion was the
delegation of Daughters of the American
Revolution from Charlotte, from
Yorkville and other places. Tl?e
Charlotte delegation, of course, included
the delegates who were there
attending the North Carolina Congress
of that organization. It is
doubtfull if ever before so many rep
resentatives of feminine culture, refinement
and loyal patriotism climbed
breathlessly the clilT which the
plateau overtops.
Seven companies of the national
guard of North and South Carolina
were present. Friday they reproduced
the battle of Kings Mountain with
the deathless cartridges. Cue of
these companies is from North Carolina,
the Dallas company, under the
command of Capt. A. L. Bulhvinkle.
The others are respectively from
Rock Hill. Fort Mill, Columbia, Cornwall,
Yorkville and Spartanburg. In
command of these provisional troops

was Col. \Y. W. Lewis of the First '
Infa?rtrv. In general charge of the c
whole exercises was Col. J. C. Boyd n
of Columbia. S. C., Adjutant General.
The monument is the third erected
in honor of the heroes of this turning
point of the revolutionary struggle.
Col. Asbury Coward, chairman of
the executive committee, in presenting
Gov. Ansel to preside over the
mee.ing said:
'"This beautiful day ushers in a
day rendered glorious for the deed
accomplished on October 8, 1780. It
is tlve most notable that can be found
in all our annals.
"It is peculiarly a matter of compelling
pride because the result of the
battle was due to the spontaneous initiative
of the plain people of that
whole section and others contribut
ui iiitjir men 10 me American 1
forces on that occasion. It was here ^
on this lonely spot that the represen- ^
tative of a foreign power was overthrown
and a triumph achieved which
laid the foundation for the realization
of the Declaration of Independence
and the existence of the constitution
of the United States?the
repository of all our liberties.
"The dead were left unburied after
the battle and the place was avoided
as haunted territory. Then, about JO
years later, the neighbors came again,
buried them at the foot of a stone
which recorded their deods in simple
language. In 1855 the counties recognized
the significance of what had
happened and gatliered to give expression
to appreciation. Men like
John S. Preston and the great historian
Bancroft, spoke with eloquence
of the part played by the men at
Kings Mountain. Later came the
oiner monument. And so the recognition
has spread. First the neighbors
then the counties, then the State !
and now the United States lias placed 1
its seal of approval and appprecia- 1
tion." !
The monument first erected is a 1
simple soapstone slab. The second 1
is much more pretentious in monu- (
mental form, and is quite creditable.
The third for which Congress ap- j
propriated $.10,000, is a granite shafr J
831-2 feet high, with inscriptions as '
follows: '
On the north and front face:

On the east face the names of the <

President Snvdor of Wofford Col
lege was the orator of the dav. He S
was measurably brief but eloquent ;
and historic to the delight of the vast
assembly.
Senator Overman and Gov. Kitehin 1
of North Carolina. Senator Smith and 1
Congressman D. E. Finlev of South 5
Carolina each addressed the enthusi- (
astic audience. Congressman Webb 1
was detained at home by sickness of 1

Host Unfavorable Report Issued by
the Department of Agriculture at
This Season of the Tear in Many
Years.
Washington, Special.?The most
infavorable report on the condition
if the cotton crop issued by the
department of Agriculture at this |
enson of the year for many years
las just been made public. Financial j
ind weather conditions combined to I
ake the report unfavorable.
The official report indicates that
>n September 25 the condition of the
otton crop was only 58.5 per cent.
>f normal, as compared with 63.7 per
ent. on August 25, 1909 ; 69.7 on
September 25, 1908, 67.7 on Sepember
25, 1907, and 67 per cent.
>n that average for ten years on Au- 1
just 25, 1909.
After the announcement by the
department of Agriculture of tbe
igures recording the average for this
nonth, I)r. S. A. lvnapp, chief of tho
'o-operative demonstration work for
he Department of Agriculture in the
south, after the conference with Secretary
Wilson, said that the serious
'ailing off in the figures, especially
'or Louisiana and Mississippi, were
lue to two conditions. One was the
;xcessive rainfall in the early part
>f the cotton crop season, followed
ay a serious drought and the second
was the failure of cotton planters to
abtain advances on their crops from
jankers. The latter J reason forced
:he planters to dismiss a considerable
part of their labor at a time
vhen tbe boll weevil was a most seri
)us pest.
Dr. Knapp Gives Reasons.
, Dr. Ivnapp stated that another reason
which indnced a falling: off in the
general average of Louisiana, was
hat there was practically 30 per cent,
ess of acreage in cotton than in previous
years.
The boll weevil did serious damage
luring the past year in the southwestern
quarter of Mississippi.
"In mv judgment," said Knapp,
'the really serious trouble, which
lpplics to all of the cotton States,
was brought about by the excessive
rainfall in the early part of the season
and the excessive drought in the
latter part. In sonv> of the States
ilanters scarcely could obtain water
mough for their live stock. This
was particularly true of Texas ami
Oklahoma. What is known as the
Sew Orleans storm, which passed uu
through portions of Louisiana and
western Mississippi, blew out immense
quantities of cotton and served
seriously to detract from the excellence
of the crop."
Secretary Wilson declined to make
iny statement regarding th.-> figures
riven out by his department. He
said that he could talk about the
wheat crop, about the condition of
rattle in the west and about almost
anything else but cotton He said
that Dr. Knapp knew more about the
rntton crop from practical observance
if conditions in the south than ar y
">ther man in the department, am' he
iad nothing to add to the statement
Bade by him.
