(Continued from last week. Back to the bleeding South from the Court House at Appomattox, the idolized Lee, ydth words of love and courage, sent his griz zled and ragged veterans, sobbing like children. To wnat did they re turn? They and you came back to ruined homes and devastated farms; your stock killed and your barns were empty; your money was worth less and your citixenahip gone. Though homeless and pennileaa, you gave not away to despair. In April our land was in ruins, but in June our fields were green with harvest From the trench to furrow you went, and the horses that had charged the Federal gun then march ed before the ptow Yea, in *85 Sherman and hta army of Vandals left us in a»hee. but today we are the chief asset of the Nation that the balance of power in the of the werhl Whv?

Will the South of- J tomorrow be the same as that of today? I answer you these Questions with another? » What is our heritage? In the year of seventeen hundretj and seventy- six, the Colonial South'Carolina took the initiative in breaking in twain the shackles of British oppression, and the world renowned political instrument, known as the Declara tion of Independence, was a con tribution to mankind from the pen of Thomas Jefferson, a Son of Virginia. 'Twas on the historic soil of South Carolina, in seventeen hun dred and eighty, that a band of rugged Southern troops waged and won the decisive battle of the American Rfolution—King’s Mountain. An inestimable gift from the South was the Father 6f our Country, George Washington, who was “firut in War, first in Peace, and first in the Hearts of his Countrymen.” All the offic-rs ’ in the Mexican War with one exception were born below the Mason and Dix on line.
