During the closing events the malignity of the struggle naturally increased, the British goaded to des peration, doubled their efforts and made bitter by growing hopelessness of their cause as invaders and alter the disastrous affair at Savannah, the regular troops of South Carolina, dis sipated and destroyed, v leaving her remaining military foree tt> l?e gath ered from remote settlements and to be trained by inexperienced cap tains without money and unsupported by ?Ohgr*:*?. These closing struggles confined to our state are said to - have been the bloodiest battles of- the war, history recording their frequency-, mention thirty-four which occurred within ono year, which shows the superior earnestness with which they were fought that the venom and virulence of rhr- conflict were reserved for these las-', acts of the long drama. i >urir.g these trying years, witn h< adfjusvrters established in this vicin ity. the British army projected into . v. > \ part <?( <>ur state campaign \ which l;U t ally bathed in it the blood of our ancestors.

As an educational' means both would preserve and so mark each locality which is a shrine to liberty as to promote inquiry on part of strangers to our history as to the details of that struggle, and thus tearn what it has coat and what it means to those living and those to come after u?. This brings us. io the question of what has the grand structure, our new bridge, the causeway constructed 'h rough the swamps, this gloriou < modern improvement and mark of the advanced prosperity of this . section and. of the state .got to do with the war of the Hevoluti&Ti. I would strain a point if it were' called for to make it have a lot to do with it, since for all time there will flow across it a never ending stream, natives who never heard of the war, aliens who $ ave no knowledge or care fc^s it, or what it means then or as to the future, and I would stop all such for so long that they should read at least a few glorious facts of the self-same spot. 4 1 would help the cause of these pa triotic women, our South Carolina Daughters of the American Revolu tion so far a*_to set up one or botn ends or even so far back as -the fork of the roads that lead to it and on both sides A f the river if need be, a boulder or shaft on which should b.? a tablet that would recite the fact that this bridge had taken the place of a ferry, which under vtflrtous names of owners had enabled the people to. t russ the river for two hundred and fifty years: that this ferry had in the time of -the war been a point of great military importance and of repeated clashes of arms;, that on its banks had been shed blood of men who gladlv made the sacrifice for the liberty of those who should come after them and who command the admiration of the world. ' By suuch means I would establish a relation between this glorious mod ern structure and the ferry now drop ping from use that its history and that of its vicinity should never be foi gotten. I would leave our state historian, secretary of? the State His U?rk-al Society. Mr. Alex Salley; Prof. Snowden and Col. John J. Da r pan. dissociated with the I). A. R., of the state to determine as to the tex:. Bui it should proclaim to a!! who pass rhnt they were near h sh^m? urm^ which our ancestors gave their lives for liberty. Further that those who passed this way were in the vicinity where every hill and valley'.' brook and river, had been made sacred by it - relation to that struggle and for the 'preservation of this good record 1 would have all e red it go to this grand and glorious organization, 'the Amer ican Revolution. And a word to you who ought to be enrolled as Sons of the American Rev olution. At a recent national con gress of that association held at Nashville, Tenn., every state in the Union was represented except South Carolina. That one state in whic i the* largest number of battles of the war were fought; the fttatc* which fur nished the most soldiers; which was the scene of the most desperate fight ing; than which no state has a proud Vr heritage and whose citizenship can claim the distinction of being the pur ost Americans so fa r~ as blood- is the, basis of measurement. 4 And siiu't our sons have gone out into what we term new states, the West and Northwest, who proud of their ancestry have joined the chapi ters ?.f the Sons of the American Rev olution in those state- which*? are without places to mark and preserve, i would proudly support ary *. a 11? from I their mother state. Such wide scat j tered membership gives assurance that to own representative- in a nat ; :<>nal congress of the a-s?v?atio,n they | would be strongly supp<>> :ed. While uur stale comparatively free, in soni?* there has been such an , inflow of aliens as to menace our na !ti?>nal institutions In a way it is a | duty as well a* a* pri\ liege for every eligible man in thn state and in the country to a< knowledge h..- obligation, appreciation and his responsibility and live up a? a Son of :!.< American 'Revolution for the pre-ei vat-ion of our grand and glorious institutions.
