Why She Took'' Rack Her Old Name
After Jessie had been at the board
ing' school a few weeks she began
signing her letters home "Jessica."
Brother Tom thought he would give
her a little dig about it, so he wrote:
"Dear Jessica: D.adica and Alomica
have gone to visit Aunt IJzzica. Un
cle Samica is talking of buying a' new
maehinica, but he doesn't know wheth
er to get a Fordica or a Chevica. The
old cowiea has had a calfica. '1 "was
going to call it Nellica, but I changed
it to Jimica because it was a bullica.
Your affectionate brother, Tomica."

Why Bryan Resigned From1 Cabinet j
'* .
Greenville, July 28.: ? Why William
Jennings Bryan resigned as secretary
of state during the administration of
Wood row Wilson, as outlined by the
late Commoner himself was today
made public by David B. Traxler,
Greenville citizen and life long friend
of Br van. #
*
The statement was made by Mr.
Bryan here shortly after his resig
nation at the time he was the guest
of Mr. Traxler. The latter said that
as far as he knew he had never seen
in print the reason given for Bryan's
resignation.
Mr. Bryan spoke in this city and
during' the course of hTs remarks was
interrupted by some one who wished
to know why he had rewgned from
Wilson's cabinet. With a short but
indirect answer Bryan made reply to
the questioner and continued the ad
dress without interruption.
Returning to the home of Mr. Trax
ler, where he was a guest, Mr. Bryan
is said to have expressed regret for
the occurrence.
"I am sorry that the gentleman saw
fit to inquire into my personal busi
ness," Mr. Bryan is said to have an
swered. (
Following the Nebraskan then, in
conversation with Mr. Traxler, gave
his reasons for having resigned as
Secretary of State.
"At that time I had completed
treaties with thirty nations of the
world in which it was specified that
none of them would declare war
against the United States until the
question had been debated for a year.
Only four countries, including Ger
many, had not signed this agreement,
but they had not entirely rejected it. j
"When the first sharp note capag j
from Germany, I as Secretary' of.
State, framed the reply. I then went
over to consult President Wilson and
learned that he had framed a note
also. There was a slight difference in
these but after discussing the matter
fully, President Wilson decided that
I was right and my note was to be
cabled to the German authorities. Be- i
fore it A'as sent, however, President I
Wilson reconsidered and ordered that I
his note instead of mine be sent. In
the hope that our slight differences j
might become reconciled and also for
the sake of keeping harmony, I signed
the first note, which had been framed
by the President, and sent it.
When the second note came, I found
that the President framed the answer
ami sent it for me to sign, which I
could not conscientiously do. Having
been thrice nominated for the Presi
dency and differing as I did on ques
tion* of that import, I deemed it best
for me to resign, because I coold not
conscientiously ygn the nc$e which
President Wilson wanted me, as sec
retary of state to sign and forward
fce t>?e German authprities."

A Visit TO CAMDBN
By M rs. |{, I'. Itoitxlfy, iti Monro",
(N. ('.) Journal
Camden, South Carolina, is a phan
tom city. If you should visit it some
ha/.y midsummer afternoon you would
be obsessed with the dream-like at
mosphere of the place. The wide
shady streets inviting the passerby
to loiter, open gateways leading1 into
shadowy walks curving dimly in the )
distance, spacious mansions of won
derful breadth and dignity of outline,
a wide main street, with ancient me
tal figure of the Indian warrior, ltaig
ler, drawing his bow above the tur* ,
rot of the city hall, an old and a
modern court hoiv^e, small dwellings
with quaint doorways, and, heavily
shuttered windows; the architecture,
the flora, the atmosphere of culture
are unmistakably that of the old
South ami should, in the natural
order of decay, have vanished at the
close of the Oft' 11 War.
Driving down the broad streets, one
is impressed with the number am!
loveliness of memorials to the city's
heroic dead. In winter, when the tour
ist season is on, the streets are filled
with people, and horses and dogs in
the pursuit of sports. Once summer
was the gay season, when .the rich
planters brought their families from
the plantations in the low country to
spend the warm weather in their sum
mer homes in the hills. At such, times
as those gallant .lamed Polk Dickin
son withdrew from the happy throng
to fight the Indians in Florida, a lit
tle later, in IK 17, at Mixchoag, Mex
ico, losing his. life in another war.
There is a beautiful shaft to his mem
ory in a cactus bordered circle in the
center of a park.
A lovely column crowned with a
Grecian urn bears testimony to the
valor of the Confederate dead. A per
gola above a stone basin in the cen
ter of a beautiful square is a grace
ful memorial to six Confederate gen
erals, natives of the city, and a bronze
drinking fountain on the main thor
oughfare between the city hall and
the old court house i.s significant re
minder of the heroism of Richard
Kfrkland, another native son, who
risked his life in battle at Fredericks

wounded, friend and foe alike.

nu south, ?dend?-r spire rising above
the tree tops, has been the scene of
much that was inspiring in the he
roic pr$K.
In the grassy open space between
the porch steps ami the' street a solid
column .stands upon a base of gran
ite blocks. At the pinnacle of the
shaft facing south and the street a
single star looks down upon an oval
wreath of victory encircling the
words "To DeKalb," and on the mar
ble tablet beneath:
"Here lie the remains of Haron De
Kalb. A German by birth, but in prin- j
ciple a cttiaen of the World,"
The name' of DeKalb is one of the
most valiant and heroic of all history, j
Coming to this country with LaFay- !
ette duriny the darkest days of the
Revolution, "his distinguished talents
and many virtues weighed with Con
gress to appoint him major general ,
in the Revo utionary army." He Was |
second in command at the battle of'
Camden August 1G, 17H0, where Gen
eral Gates' well-nigh murderous pol- j
icy brought mar annihilation to the
patriot army. Long after General
Gates had' fled the .baron fought on,
being covered with wounds. At the
last i he aid. de camp, Lieutenant Col-.
t>m 1 DuBuysson, embraced his gen
eral, announcing his rank and nation
to the surrounding foe, and begging
that they would spare his life. While
exposing himself to save his friend,
the aid de camp received a number of
dangerous- wounds, but his devotion
eo.uld not save the baron. He had re
ceived eleven wounds, and died three
days later at Camden, and was bur
ied in the Presbyterian churchyard
bordering on the street that bears
his name.
The tomb of DeKalb is hallowed
bv the sacred dust that Ik's within
and the footprints of his contempo
raries, also martyrs in the cause of
liberty. It has been a public shrine
since Washington visited it in 1791,
and l.ab'ayettc laid the cornerstone of
the monument in 1825. Hen. Thos.
Sumter sometimes passed that way.
(It'll. John Poby Kennedy veteran of
the Civil war and long an elder in
the church, often lingered there, als >
young Augustus Ma*;enburg Trotter,

of many warriors will join you there
and accompany you through shady
avenues, past stately ami sumptuous
homes screened from inquisitive 'eyes

There some will turn back to moot
Shei man's army at the breastworks
south of the city. Others, mere lads
like my boy and yours, will take, the
road -to the left and meet Cornwall!*

fork of the road, (?en. Washington

for a drink at' the big spring or you
