SOUTH GAlOUu- x RARE HISTORIC ARE ncense Map of Colonial Grtnt bf.Q«eea Anne, Dated 1711, Found Among Posses- ^ slens Left to LiWary by Late Dr. Frank Jasper Young. Allendale, March 24.—Work on the library project in Fairfax, sponsored by the civil works administration, has brought to light many old doenments and papers of vast interest and value, that was the property of the late Dr. Frank Jaaper Young, of Fairfax. Among the papers discovered, per haps the most important is a map of an original grant of larti in the vicinity of Charleston County. On this map is a seal with the following in- asription: “To the Honorable-Walter Dowglass, Esquire, constituted Cap tain-General and Chief Governor of k - > all Leeward Islands in America, by her late Majesty Queen Anne, in the year l7ll, this map is most humbly dedicated by your humble servant Norman Moll, 1715.” This map shows the original layout of the city of Charleston, then called “CharTes Town.” .. t Of equal interest is a newspaper, yellow with age, but well preserved. This is a copy of the New York Herald, dated at New York April 1 ♦ K : 15, 1865, in which paper is given an entire account of the assassirktion of President Abraham Lincoln, the. first page of the paper carrying the de tails of the tragic affair. Another newspaper discovered is an even older one, being the Georgetown Gazette, • dated at Georgetown, S. C., Wednesday, July 23, 1806. This paper carries interesting articles of the news of'Trarfay ana time. — , In the front room of the house, which is used by the library, stands the furniture that was used by the Youngs, among which is an old- fashioned square piano,.antique chairs, and a handsome £6t of brass and- irons and fender.- On the walls are portraits of Doctor Yeung and his wife, who was the former Miss Vir ginia DuRant, of.'Fairfax. • ' Mrs. Young was a prominent figure In the town of Fairfax. She was an early advocate of woman's auffiage, which in her day was considered an eccentricity and is considered to have been the first suffragette in this Sec tion of the country, in her desk still repose letters sent to her in the in terest of this cause, from all sections of the country.

Two^ther rooms in the house are rented out as offices and the monet* derived from this source serves to keep the library in opera tion. Doctor Young also donated to the library three large bookcases filled with valuable volumes, some of these having been highly prized by him, and in addition to these many shelves of books have been added.— remained unmolested, although the doors to the many rooms in the house have never been locked. Clothes worn by Doctor Young ^ during his last years, aa well as many other itema ol personal property, are as they were when he lived in the house. • Even a bowl of fruit stands untouched in the rear of the-house. _ In the Ikrge closets of the house are^many pieces of antique furniture, as well as china tea-sets, silver, andirons, and many ether such articles.

Modern methods of cpld storage have made the best-known Paschal flower, onefe truly the Bermuda Easter Illy, an all-year adornment The Amer ican pasque flower is a wild Anemone which keeps to the northern central states and is not familiar here. The pasque flower of Europe is alse an anemone, and' it is possible that the poppy-flowered anemone of Mediter ranean meadows—red, bine and pur ple like those local florists are selling today—was the gorgeous bloom to which Christ pointed when he admired “the lilies of the field.” In Mexico the poinsettia is often called flor de Piseua. The "Easter cactus” (Scblum- bergera) belongs to homy old kitchen windows. But the flower most appro priate of all to Easter,is too rarely seen since grandma’s conservatory waned—the cerulean passion flower. In Itself and in its story it Is exquis ite. not to be forgotten at the season of earth’s resurrection and of-thw trt- umphant festival of the church. The first Spanish explorers, beholding it as It trailed from branches in South American forests, were struck with wonder, finding in its strange form the land's own glorification of their task of conversion. Legend gathered quickly about Passi- flora. A drawing of it, brought from Mexico, created a sensation at Rome in 1610. It was proclaimed to enfold “all the mysteries of the Passion.” The ten colored -parts of the floral envelope, says Bailey, to an ardent fancy repre sented the ten apostles present at the Crucifixion. The inner fringes became the Grown of Thorns, the five stamens the Five Wounds, or else the hammers that drove in the Three Nails (In that case represented by the three gtylesL The vine’s coiling tendrils were the cord* or scourges, while" the leaves, with their “fingers,” might have been the hands of Christ's tormentors. That this natural manifestation qf Chris tian belief tshould have been hidden In the New world's untrodden jungles astounded Europe. And not long ago even Dutch Reformed bonaehplds would as soon have lacked Pate tllles ' ^ 11 “ ‘ * WJoylf RESURRECTION in Immortal Harmony |ASTER has ever been the. queen of festivals. It pro claims the triumph of life, the reason for hope, the fulfillment of desires.. The musical world again returns to songs of gladness, and spring, with its budding new life, wakes the poet and the musicians to another effort to sing its praise, observes a writer In the Washington Star. It is a remarkable fact, however, that the aspect of ( joy and liberation which is the ullimiite accomplishment of the events of Holy week has been of so little inspiration to the great writers of music. If is, perhaps, im possible for the huiban mind to ade quately grasp the meaning of the re demption and so to glorify it in the outpouring of the one divine element with which we are blessed—music. It is true, when Christ rose from the dead it was without accompaniment) of angel choirs, but silently and un ostentatiously the great benefit to hu manity took form. The angel at the tomb sat quietly without harp or trump et as he announced, “He is risen, He Is not here,” and the news was car ried as quietly to the waiting apostles. The silence which surrounded that moment is readily understandable, but what It has meant to the world there after should have been a source of constant exhilaration to the musical narrators.

Of all those who have attempted to record it iq harmony, it was Bach alone who was able to imbue the tell ing with vitality and life fire. Through profound devotional sensitiveness, per haps, or the natural shrinking from or Inability to relive the great trag- SOUTHERN edy, the successors of Bach have pro duced music in which the fundamental vitality has been lowered and the trae reason of the Passion—that through death there should be life—consequent ly overlooked. Bach’s contemporary, Handel, chose “The Resurrection” as subject for an oratorio written in Italy In 1708. At- though his “Messiah” has. grown in popularity with each generation and its majesty impresses itself with con stantly renewed force, his attempt to picture the glory of the resurrection came to naught and has had no per formance worthy of remembering. The promiae of Immortality, which the Easter day brings is bnt a con firmation of what every one knows who has music in his heart Music Is the one gladsome Ingredient In the sorry mixture which is lift and It ia them with a constant message of hope and Indeatmctible vitality. For this reason alone It should be given a prom inent place in the dally routine that by Its tteths the sense of joy could be cultivated, the mind detached from gloomy contemplation and the way to a knowledge of beauty and art laid per mik tova hy oslac tho 8oathtra at tha lowast faraa a vac offarad: I ■ « par miU-lm Caoehaa -*■ * Om ticket*—m!4 Sally touypolatMr "isa .''W 3 C permOgi iflifrbig i NO »ip>CHA>OBI Your trip on tha Soothars will be' quickvr, aafar—and moaa« call No tirfca to chariga; no i ■'jam iW ■. * \jS70 SOUTHERN RAILWAY SYl mm • ' I V.
