Recently Prof. Snowden. of the
South Carolina University, discuss
ini^witb thefjrst year olass the vari
ous nationalities which had blended
into the South Carolinian of today
told the indents that while the {r ah
and Ihe Highland Scotoh had played'
un important role here, they had
quickly araa'gamated wl<h the Kng
Ijsh and adopted that language un
like the Frenoh and Germans who
had for one, somet'rpcs for two, gen
erations, continued to speak their
mother tongue. The only exception
of which he was aware was the com
munity in K?rshaw county, of which
"Plnetree Chn-ch" was the centre,
'here, bo late as tho year 1835, Rev
Mhlcolm D. Frasier, h-msclf the sec
ond generation from the Highland
emigrant, bad preached in GaeHc to
a large congregation.
Thereupon, one of the students B
A. Betlwne, 8ai 1 that he had at home
a Gaelic Bible belonging to -ono of
his ancestors, a Pinetree Presbyteri
an, and a few days later he brought
Prof Snowden a vety Interesting, pes
ftihly the unique GaelicBiblo in South
Carolina
This Bible is Qaelio from Genesis
to Revelation, save three pages of
' General Rnles for Reading tho GUo

p*tre. dated "Kdinburg, March $3
1807," whioh states that "in the year
1767 the society In Scot'and for
propagating Christian knowledge"
had "published a translation of the
New Testament into tho Gaelic lan
guage and distributed a number of
copios lu tho Highlands and West
em Isles." Afterwards the Old
Testament had been translated,''^
which means those of our country*
nion who understood jdo other lan
guage are furnished with the whole
sacred writings. This important on
dcrtaking w?8 concluded in 1801."
Ihe title page is missing from Mr.
