Ragsdale, of Eolith Carolina, ti. ; striking patriotic keynotes J hat foam1: echoes in the hearts and minds every guest. The Rev. .M.ULow .Roland, of Way mart, broad of shoub err.-;, deep of voice, painted a picture of St. Patrick and his Pie's work in aj way that brought enthur.ia-orjn to an j jy intense pitch. Three Sptuiiairs. Congressman Ragsdalc, M. A. JVIcGiniey and the Rev. Roland were tie speakers of the night, .and their dhare it;zri.he splendid programs will ever be rc^/embered for the stirring ehajiaetei and the eloquence of their remarks. Attorney Thomas P. Duffy was the ^ toastmaster, and he very ably fulfil 1w ed hir duties. Re cause of tho inability of Dr. K. W. Ryan to appear on the program, Attorney Duffy delivered a very interesting address in which now J i|_;ht wus shed upon the .recent up-} rising in Ireland. Attorney Duffy v as pithy in his introduction of the speakers, and he kept the wheels v.Jtiriing swoothly all the way. Jack iftin, story-teller, of St. Louis, furnished a plentitude cf wit and humor with liis tales of Donovan and McCarthy, while another rousing big feature was supplied by the following soloists: James McCool and Jose ph Kelly, of Philadelphia; Prof. Martin J. Jennings, of Dun more; Peter Walsh, of Jessup, and Joseph Edvsrds pf Scranton. Frank J. Daniel, of Scranton, and' Daniel McEihatton, of Philadelphia, were accompanists, and the singing program was under the direction of the former. Bauer's orchestra greatly enlivened the affair with numerous selections. The musical program opened with the singing of {"America," and closed with "The Spangled Banner." Ho* ley New President. Postmaster P. F. Connor, of Carbondale, was the chairman, he having pcrved as president during the year. The new officers elected duiing the banquet are: Michael T. Howley, pros ident; Robert C. Wills, vice president; James T. McGinnis, secretary; Johni - J. Collins, treasurer; Dr. J. F. Sallry, Frank McCann, Patrick J. Bolaml, lieoi ge W. Clark, and Myles J. McAndiew, of Archibald, members ol the executive committee for three years. For an hour previous to the opening of the banquet the members of the association held reunions on the nii^n f loor of the hotel while Piper J. K. Wallace played numerous airs on ' the Irish pipes. Precisely at 8 o'civic \ ai arranged by the committee, the; s?u?-t was made iu the serving of the! menu. Back of the speakers' table the harped green flag of Ireland and the gloriously brilliant Red, White and H!ue of America flapped side by >tde. And just as the flags were entwined, so also were the expicssed sentiments of the night, love for native land and the glorious U. S. A. being linked by the tenderest of sentiments and loftiest of purposes. While the banqueting was under way there was a continuous program of music furnished by the orchestra and soloists. Now and then the diners would break into song when lively Irish or American patriotic selections wore rendered. Some .Song Hints. Duiing the speechmaking period there were also songs now and then I by Messrs. MeCool and Kelly, both1 .-coring unusually heavy with their; nlendid numbers. One of the most' beautiful songs that has evei touch'/L lriif.li hear!* was that by Mr. McC o on the course of the River Shannon, i.'.is parody on "Alexander's Ragtir. e ilu-i ' and hi5 ditty about the policeman who called on the girl in tlx It'a hen along about the middle ??f the ai t? ru< en, were comedy song hints of the night. .Mr. Keiiy was especially good in tile singing of Scottish numbc 1his two Lauder songs going across big Messrs. Kdwai ds, Walsh, and .leanings, re presenting home talent of the very finest brand, shared in 1 he big honor? accorded to the musical program, each appearing in fine voice. There was a great reception tondeicd to Congressman Ragsdale, who is winning nation-wide fame as on( o the prominent orators of the great south. His strong, clear voice, with a musical smoothness to it carried to every part of the banquet hall and he held the intense interest of Lis audience all the way. "Our Country" was iu> u'jm- and time alter time he played on patriotic chords, arousing' enthusiasm to high pitch. He raid: "People oi our state are :always glad to conic into the g^eat state of Pennsylvania, the home of Pcnn and of tlv Quakers. We have no Quakers with us tonight Irnt we have the next thing?friends. It is a wonderful thing, this meeting of friends, whether on native soil or alien land. I am very glad to he with you tonight and join \with you in the observance of St. Patrick's anni-, versai y. 1 have wondc red now and then during n-y long trip, just why I accepted the invitation to come fill the way to Sevan ton for a night. And then I thought of how Jim Tllakes'ee had requested me to come. We all kve Jim Rlakcslee and when he asks fc.i anything, why he is sure to get it. It was a great pleasure for me to attend the meeting of your Rotarv club today. When I asked your comi littee what I should talk about tonight, they said "Make the Eagle Read the Story in this Paper, I5EGINNING IN ISSUE OF MAY Ji.

After hearing how thos^ "lions" roared at the Rotary meeting today 1 fear that the scream of thi eagle as given by me would suffer i? comparison. 1 might find myself h the same boat with the school bo> who was told to write an essay or. the eagle. "The eagle," he wiote, "is1 the great Amu. an bird. Its beak hangs over Caiuu.a. its tail sweeps Mexico, its wings spread over thv.great east and the ^ eat west. Ai.U then he soars and soars, and soar?, and soars-;?darn it, Iv'c lo -t that biro now." Our Great Country. I wonder if we realize t. .ii;ht tin greatness of our country, I wonder it we truly realize the greatness of the land which those brilliant Stars ami Stripes symbolize, I wonder if \vc tip- j preciate the wonderful great position j we occupy among the nations of ih 1 world, if we truly realize the pros n delicacy of our position. Across the bright blue waters there is* a seething caldron of bloodshed and hatred. Ku rope is ablaze with the fury of tie god of war. There is an awful chac there. Tonight we would offer cu: thanks to the great God for the sun. hine of peace and prosperity that makes us a happy and contented j country. There are some men in this I lend of ours who criticize congiess j and our great president for not h\\ing hurried us into war. In Europe where the god of war is sc( urging people right and left there are wan.faced children and widowed v:o.. < in vast numbers. They arc grievin for the flower of the nations involved, the men who answered calls o? ; flags and who have gone to their t i: kers from the bloody soil of i battlefields. And here in this < on try there is peace in every pe-J of t) bell that calls out children to scho ! in every sound of the chime- t ur calls us: to Sabalh observance. In t'.i. I great country of ours where edu tion is our watchword, where men at taught to elevate themselves, when | men are taught the way to live i happiness and peace with his neighbor, everything is at peace. And there are men in this country who seem Ube shouting for the chaos of Kurop. , chattering critics who seek to have | lis pmlirnilc/l i? ~ - 1 ill uuii 11 LU1 HC Siri'lggiO without a thought of what il might mean to our children. Thank God thai he has driven v<Kthc great Wilson arour president, the givat first citizen who has kept, tlii^ country in peace and prosperity against the ba<kground of woe and sorrow now h oi n furnished by Europe. , I wonder if we i-eali'/.e all that Avn-j erica has gone through during the' past several years. I wonder if wc have studied conditions as they have come to us from out of the cUmtli clouds of Europe. Gentlemen, we must realise more than ever now that the rule of the people should govern, that no country can ho pro'-prvous when its affairs are in the hands of a few. Old System Wiped Out, i Our ancient banking system has. been wiped out during- the past sevc.ai years. The old system of the finances being tied up in the hands e; a few financiers in New York is gos.c. The federal reserve system has saved us from further groveling at the feet of any few men, no longer must there be begging for credit when credit is deserved. Our financial system is now at its very best and so far as finances are concerned, we are readj for anything that may come. There are some people who say that war has created prosperity for us and that we won't have prosperous conditions after the war. 1 admit that war has brought us some advantages, that 1 it lias opened up some new markets for us. But just as long as our financial system remains on the present stable basis we nood c _ ..Wi. JV-%1 vil? arising of any condition either during or after this war. When the war came there was hardly a stir in our financial circles. People need no longer fear for the future, thanks to the operation of the federal reserve system. We have met the financia' condition sqitardy and fairly, we can meet other conditions as they arise. That was the big condition and v.o have solved that. KighUH4*ur Day. There are critics throughout the loiuatry who have attacked congress jecause of the stand it took on the question of the eight-hour lill for the ailroad men. It has been said i!i iome circles that congres* yielded to :he demands of labor. The American ongress had other thought \ This1. *rcat land of ours does not belong to abor nor to capital. It is our land, four land, my land. No it wasn't fielding to the demands of labor, it , j vasn't congress responding to the | :rack of lubor'r whip. When that rent question came up in congress, pictured in my mind's eye condi- < ions in our country, I pictured our 11 vondrous south with springtime com- j I D, CONWAY, S. C. ing and bringing the blossoms tin t I make up the most beautiful picture | that nature can bestow, 1 pictured the great grain and cotton fields whit the great southern sun bringing the crops to the ripening stage, 1 pictured the cotton standing out white in ih?light of a southern moon, then I pictured the great grain fields of the i f west gilded brown by the western sun, 1 pictured the twinkling lights on miner's caps in your great region, 1 heard the sound of the drills as the miners prodded out the coal that would continue the hum of industry throughout the counrty, then 1 pictured the banks bursting with the na- ^ tion's gold, the hissing of the great t steam engines in the great indust iai 1 # | and manufacturing plants, 1 pittured T the wheels, the belching smoke from : the mammoth chimneys, I pictured N a'l these details that moke up the one ; g i cat masterpiece of America a*. peace, ami with prospeiity lavishii g 1 its hand upon all.
