GONZALES IS AN AMERICAN For the First Time itar State Gives History of His Family in Reply to Attacks Mr. W. E Gonzales, in a re cent communication to the Winnsboro News and Herald, in answer to an attack made on Mr. Gonzales by Mr. Johnson, for the first time gives the his tory of his family, which shows that he is an American and a South Carolinian. It has been the pet scheme of many politi cians, Ewhen opposed by The State, to call the editor of that paper a "renegade Cuban." The part of the letter which refers to his family, only. is given. and is as follows: "I have never before made reference to lineage; it is rarely done with good taste. I neither lean upon nor admire those who go for support or shelter to fam ily trees. No favors have been asked by us of South Carolina on account of family history, military service or otherwise. None will be. But since false hood has been told by the sena- t tor from Fairfield county, it is the right of the people of that county to know the truth. While Cuba has contributed to the world men whose names S would honor the roll of patriots of any country, I am a South Carolinian; a South Carolinian by right of 250 years' reside-ce of my people; bound to its soil and to the loftiest sentiments of the state by their honorable 8 part in every *epoch of colonial f and State history, including the , signing of the Declaration of In t dependence. Lands coming to t them as grants from: the lords proprietors are theirs today. My c great grandfather, William El liott, whose name was given to n me, was, according to O'Don- A nell's standard work, "History of Cotton," the grower of the V "first successful crop of cotton in South Carolina," in 1790. A hundred years previous to 1790t that cotton-grower's great grandfather was planting in South Carolina, but a little later was "a member of the colonialt assembly." Fifty-odd years ago, when my father, then long a citizen~ of the United EStates. land-owner and slave-holder in South Caro lina, and carrying scars of bat in the glorious cause of liberty, volunteered for South Carolina's. war against the United States. there was no cry of "Cuban!" When he, with others of the staff, was publicly thanked by' Gen. Beauregard for service at the reduction of Fort Sumter.1 none cried "Cuban!"r WThen he was chief of artil lery for Soath Carolina, Georgia end glorida, and built forts and personally got cannon to mount in them to protect our long coast line from the enemy's menacing fleets, the only cry I find record ed in the press of that day in re gard to him was one of thank- ~ fulness that the energy and the skill of A. J. Gonzales were be- ~ tween the people of the interior C and the would-be invaders. At half century ago, when he was, by appointment, the personal representative of the governor of South Carolina in military af fairs on the coast of this state,1 it was not as a "Cuban." When A. J. Gonzales surren dered at Greensboro-three weeks after Appomnattox-as colonel of artillery. Con federate States army, chief of artillery of Hardee's corps and acting chief of artillery of Joseph E. Johnson's army, and began that weary march through desola tion toward the' stark chimneltys where his home had been on~ the coast of South Carolina before $herman's raiders applied the torch and left gaunt want to oc cupy the count y behind them, I do not believe. Mr. Editor, there was one Southern Er of that period so despicable as to yelp "Cuban" at the Confede ate soldier who freely offered his life to the Southern Cause and uncomplainingly lost in that1 cause all that a man of honor may los.e.

I Terra Firma Shaken Columbia, June 12.-Hun Ireds of Columbians were awak ned from their early morning t lumbers Wednesday by a series f earthquake 'hocks that oc urred about 5 o'clock. The hocks came within five seconds t nd the majority of persons who ave their experiences were of he opinion that the number of aves was three. There were everal residents who were firm n the belief that they felt four. Zegardless of the number of hocks, Columbians were con -inced that the trembling of the arth was no product of the im ,gination. One resident of the .orthwestern part of the city aid he was awake when the hocks came and his bed was aken quite distinctly. Entire amilies reported having felt the r juake, so there is no doubt but iat Columbia was visited by 4e outer edge of a great seismic isturbance which had as the enter of its wave-likt motion a pot somewhere far at sea or J iiles below the eaith's surf ace.

Walh11l-Sturnin August Choice of Vice-President Baltimore.-National Com mitteeman Josephus Daniel has started a movement to bring about the nomination for vice president of the man who stands second for the presidential nom ination on the final ballot. Mr. Daniel said the Baltimore convention should be a repeti tion of 1884. when the ticket was Cleveland and Hendricks, both of who:i were candidates for the pre sidency. He said that none of the can lidates for president would say At this time t at they would ac :ept the nomination for vice president, but declared that af er the final ballot on the presi lential nomination the second ian should be appealed to to ake the vice-presidential place is a duty to the Democratic )arty. Mr. Daniel says the party can 1ot take any chances on nomi iating a small man for the vice )residency, but must put with ts presidential preference a man or vice-president who is big nough to be president and who vill represent some of the plank vhich the Democrats will put nto the platform.

Bowen, d t the age 6f 17, left his home, 14 vhich was situated near the b oot of Glassy Mountain, to go b o the battle front. His blood S vas bounding with the quick u hrob of war and with the eves f youth he saw nothing but a rowning laurels of victory f: head. There was no sadness in h hat home when this young man 0 vent forth to fight for his coun- 13 ry, they were glad to have him b :o. His father was too old to f, nter service, but two sons had C ready gone ahead and now h hat the third was gone their v Learts swelled with pride that 0 hey had three sons defending D heir own loved Southland. e My father was mustered into f ervice at Old Pickensville. He b vent from there toSullivan's 0 sland where they remained h everal months, then on to il ichmond and were stationed il here ,ne month before entering er - re, They did no actual fight ag~ until the battle of Frazier's arm, This Brigade was the rt to open fire, it was a fiercer attle, causing Areat slaughter ' mong our men. My father vas struck by a bomb shell, ' vhich completely destroyed his ' :un and severely wvounded his ight hand. Here he was in 4he idst of a fea- ful battle with nio f veapon with which to fight and t tis hand torn and bleeding, but b te was not ready to give up. It 4 Las been told me by one of his ' :omrades that he wgmed up ~ and down the 1Me af men urg- 1 ng thenm oX4 and begging them ( iot to give bach, best pretty son t hey were compefled to retreat t is the enemy had turned their I atteries broadside and were ' imply mowing our men down. 1 s they moved back a jball t ~truck my father in the hip r which felled him to the ground. I le managed to get up, seeing a t iouse near by and believing I iimself seriously wounded he < rent to the rear of it, finding a f :ellar door open he crept in, lay iown and was not able to move 4 gain, This cellar was full of< nen, some wounded, some dy ng, and some just cowards hid ng from shot and shell, some ankees were among them too. All the afternoon he lay suf-] ~ering agonies, and not knowing ,he extent of his injuries, he i ~ould hear the mighty roar of attle outside and at one time 1 ie knew that the northern arn 1 was between him and hip, @d aut they wege reguised about aight ari driven from the field,1 hus anking the South victo Col. IR. E. Bowen was Captain > my father's company at that me. At the close of the battle de went over the field hunting his wounded men, he would call out the name of his com pany and his men would answer, as he neared this old house what a welcome sound it was to my father to hear that familiar voice sing out "Com pany E., S. C. Regiment," he aswered as best he could but could not make himself heard above the groans and shrieks of pain from those around him in the cellar. He begged those arond him to help him answer, to answer for him, but no one knew him and paid him no at entin, the voie came narer. Felder Doesn't Fear Blease Upon his return from Chica go Friday Tom Felder gave thE Journal a statement, in which he declared his indifference to the threats of !Gov. Blease, of South Carolina, to have him ar rested and taken from the train if he travels through the Pal metto State with the Geo;gia delegation to Baltimore. "I go and come when I please aid Mr. Felder. "I am abso utely unconcei ned at this latest )ffort of Blease to obtain cheap political notoriety. It is noth ng more or less than clap-trap. [ will attend the convention in 3altimore, and I will go with ;he-lelegation. "There's nothing in the char ces Blease and his henchmen tave brought against rie. This vas clearly demonstrated last all when the grand jury in his ome county. by a vote of 11 to , returned no bill on the war ant taken out against me.

But 4 better fate awaited him, bout ten o'clock that night his riends found him and carried Im to the field hospital. The ext day he was carried to Rich-' iond, his wound was found to e in a dreadful condition, his %ther was telegraphed for, he me at once and brought with im Dr. John Field and in two reeks they carried him home n a stretcher, but it was onths before he could walk en with the aid of crutches.

The Year of Jubilee. Jerry Moore, the prize corn iser of Florence county, has ron another prize. The last rize will no doubt be worth iore to himthan the first. He ron it through the study of die Bible. There are .many candidates or office iii all the connties, hie politicial machinery should e lubricated with the best uality of mental and intellect al oil. So every candidate nd eyery yoter is urged to earn all be can about the year f Jubilee as it Is discribed in he Bible, This is the year for he expert mixer, whether he >e candidate or voter. If the roter is alowed a half chance, ie will be kind and affable as he candidate. He rarely shows esentment unless cornered by a nan for whom he is not going o vote. A candidate who will em up a voter in such style ught to be exempted by law rom running for office, Be ides there are so many smooth r and easier ways- of finding ut the real state of the voter's nind. The unparalleled example of ['aft and Roosevelt will not pre rail among the contestants in Pickens county. In the normal quiet state of olitics which this county now mjoyes seventy five per cent of he voters wouM much rather ga g endidate say nice things about his opponent.~ It shows a dncere desire to malke things pleasant. Enyy, jealousy, r'esentment re as contagious as measles md small pox and cause about i bad a taste in the mouth. I could tell you all about this ear of Jubilee but it will do ou ten times more good to look it up and study yourself. No description of a beautiful land cape can give the reader the full message that he would get from looking on it himself. The beauty and. programme of the flowers, the music of the birds and the brooks would give him a physical and mental thrill that can come in no other way. The landscape would touch every fiber of his sensibilita and thus be sure to reach hi! soul. lof the candidates ani ., votrshould absori "I CAN TRACE THI GRAFT TO THE G OVE R NOR'S OFFICE"--Grace Charleston, June 13. When asked today :-bout the report of the service of a subpoena upon him to testify about graft c&n ditions in Charleston counry in the enforcement of the dispen sary law, 'Mayor Grace stat~d that he had not yet received the subpoena to appear before the dispensary investigating com mi"tee but that he would will ingly accept service aindis ready to tell what he knows, when he is called upon. "I wrote the editorial in Com Sense regarding the graft con ditions in Charleston," said Mayor Grace, and I have no de sire to avoid the responsibility for anything that I have said. I am ready to sustain every thing that I wrote. "If I am subpoenaed I will tell the grounds on which the article was based and I am sure that those who hear the state ment will agree with him in the con lusions which I have reach ed. I can prove that graft ex ists in Charleston and I will say, as I have stated on several prev ious occasions, that I can trace, the graft to the govern's office at Columbia, this spirit of thi f Jubilee, the county would enjo a ightful and profitable campaign of education. The study is earnestly recom mended to the women of the ounty and state, for the obvious reason, their company is so ften sought and so much en joyed by the men who may get by proxy the prize for which they are too lazy to seek by per sonal application. When this plan of campaign is started right-in the counties, it may soon reach the State House and then the White ouse. Politics would thus be ome, if not nrofitable, a thing f beauty and a joy forever. Julius E. Boggs. ackson's Will and the Silver Vase The prevalent idea that Gen. Andrew Jackson, seventh presi dent of the United States and 'a South Carolinian born, willed the massive silver vase. presented to him by the women of Charleston and other towns, and the oil painting, represent ing the American minister to Mexico unfurling the American flag in the face of a Mexican mob, which the citizens of his native State gave him, to the last survivor of the Palmetto regiment which served gallant ly through the Mexican war, proves upon investigation to be correct. The clause in Gen. Jackson's will relating to the disposition of the picture and vase follows in fullh "The large silver vase present ed to me by the ladies of Caries ton, South Carolina, my native State, with the picture repre senting the unfurling of the American Banner, presented to me by citigens of South Caro lina, when it was refused to be accepted by the United States Senate, I leave in trust to my son, A. Jackson, Jr., with direc tions that should our happy country not be blessed with peace, an event not always to 'be expected, he will at the close of war, or end of the conflict, present each of said articles of inestimable value, to that pat riott residing in the city or State from which they were presented who shall be adjudged by his countrymen, or the ladies, to have been most valient, in defense of his country, and countries rights." At the close of the Mexican war it became incumbent upon someone to bestow the vase and picture upon the most valieni patriot. Robt. F. W. Allstor was governor of South Caro lina from 1856 to 1858. H< wrote to Andrew Jackson, Jr. calling attention to the provi sions of his foster-father's will Young Jackson realized th< difficulties of selecting the )avest man in the regimen and agreed readily to Governor Allston's proposition that the. vase and pizture be given to the association of survivors of the Palmett', regiment in trust for. the last survivor. His letter to Gov. Allston bears: date of April 3, 1858, and was written from Memphis, Teiin. Gov. Allston issued a pro clamation on May 4. 1858, which set forth the terms' of Gen. Jackson's bequest and the manner in which the execut6r of his estate, his adopted son, had agreed that they be carried out.. The proclamation specifig that when the Palmetto associa tion dwindled down to one member he should become the possessor of the vase and picture provided he were a citizen: of South Carolina and resided within its borders. The vase and picture were ac cordingly presented to the presi dent of the Palmetto association by Gov. Allston, to be held in trust for the last survivor. The two heirlooms were preserved by the presidents of the associa tion in safety until Sherman burned Columbia. Capt. Wit-l liam B. Stanley of Columbia. was then president of the Pa metto association. The paint. ing of the flag scene was han ing on his wall ind wascon samed in the fire.' which d stroyed his hous.e. Capt.' Stan 'ey gave the vase to a faithful negro who buried it to keep it out of the clutches of the Yankees. After the war ended, the vase passd into thehandsof the ires 'Ant Of the association. in weeis said to have been a meeting etie P association, at w was voted to the State. If this action were taken the survivors must have agreed that the Jackson vase was too valuable to be given into the keeping of any one man, as it might meet a fate similar to that of the picture. No record 'of the meet ing of the Palmetto association in 1900 is available or known to be extant. Under the terms of Governor Allston's proclamation, there are only two men now living who could lay claim to the Jackson vase. They are'Mat thew B. Stanley of Marion county and James A. McKee of Pickens couity, the sole sur vivors of the Palmetto regiment who are citizens of South Caro lina and reside within the bor ders of the State. Three other veterans of the Mexican war who served in the Palmetto regiment are George H. Abney of Clay, Miss., J. ,J. Martin of East Point, Ga., John Williams of Downs, Kansas. There may be other sust of the Palmetto regiment living in' Texas, since a number of them left South Carolina at the close of the war and settled in - the Lone Star State. The Jackson vase is now in the office of the historioal comn mission of South Carolina in the State house. It is kept in a lass vase with several of the silver medals awarded to pri vates in the Palmetto regiment by the general assembly. On the vase is engraved "Presented by the Ladies of South Carolina to Major General Andrew- Jackson to W. B. Stan ley, Pres. of Palmetto Associa tion in trust for the last survi vor." The vase was manufac- ~ tured by Gardiner.& Fletcher of Philadelphia.
