Senator ( Smith of South ('arolina is then i presented to the audience, who re ceive him enthusiastically. Governor Ansel then welcomed the people in be half of South Caro lina. He was in line spirits and was never more jolly. He told the North Carolinians that "There was something doing over here" and we as the eye could see, there would be had room for them. Turning to buggies coming, and the battle Governor Kitehin he said “stand ground seemed as if a city had up," and the two Governors stood The approach to the grounds tninds one of an enormous camp meeting. Buggies, carriage's, wagons and every conceivable means of transportation were used, and it ^•erned, as we proceeded through the picturesque country that as far Alteration LOUIS COHEN AND COMPANY •<K w r ** TFTli HOUSE THAT CIVLS :you satisfaction: OR YOUR MONEY BACK sprung up as by magic on sacred soil of more than a century. Everyone seemed bent on doing honors to the memories to the dead heroes who make our present possi ble. And as the numerous orators exclaimed todav “all honor to those u ho fought for American liberty" liberty in local self-government and religious belief. Well, should Soath Carolina be proud of the part played by her representatives in the exercises of this day, as indeed she is proud of the valor displayed by her sons in earliest days? Her Governor, ever happy and jovial in his remarks, made a most admirable presiding officer- his remarks being frequently applauded. The celebration today was attend- ed by some who were here at the centennial in 1880, the building of monuments was somewhat more dis tinctive in those days and thousands encamped there for the week, and say that the vast concourse then was no greater than today. When the hour of 10:30 arrived Col. Coward stepped to the front and commanded silence, and the band’s first selection. Col. Coward formally opened the exer cises. He spoke of how' the battle ground had been avoided, as if ghost ridden until 1810 when the >ame spirit of 1780 caused the peo ple of this section to gather the bones of the warriors and place them at the foot of the hill. This spirit caused the people of the two Carolinas in 1880 to erect the old monument on top of the mountain, and it was then the gifted John Preston of South Carolina and great American historian, George Ban croft, were the orators when the thousands gathered there to take part in the Centennial exercises. Time has rolled on and the neighbor hood celebration of 1805. the two States' celebration in 1S80. and facing each other. Governor Ansel made a quick movement of the hand and drew forth from the table a glass of water. Governor Kitehin was as quick and drew forth a flash ing tin dipper. "Here’s bur love pledged in sparkling water to the noble people of North Carolina,” said Governoa Ansel, and "Here’s to game little State of South Carolina,” said Governor Kitehin. Governor Kitehin was then received with loud applause bv both North Carolinians and South Carolianians alike. He spoke briefly of the battle and paid tribute to both States. The exercises were concluded by a few appropriate remarks by Gover nor Ansel. “It has been a great day, a happy day,” and it is with re gret that the Governors of Tenne ssee, Georgia and Virginia cannot be here where their soldiers fought so bravely.” One Present. of SUPERVISOR'S REPORT. <Sc 234: rwinar Street, Charleston, S.
