I GLORIOUS WAS THE FOURTH.
(CONTINI EI* KHOM CAGE ONE.)
starving Cubans and wo demanded
that their oppressors leave the west
ern hemisphere. From every state
and from almost every hamlet in
this broad land, came demands that
we rescue the oppressed. Avenge
the death of our citizens. Tho Con
gress of the United States passed
almost unanimously u resolution of
war. the President of tho United
States issued a cull f^r J2u,000 vol
unteers and over i(H) t 000 responded.
The spirit of 70 had not died in the
hearts of Americans, the heroism of
Concord, of Cowpens, and of Moul
trie. has been banded down from
father to son and from son to grand
son. Brothers had for a time become
estranged, but when first the call to
arms was sounded they forgot a''
that ever threatened to septate
them; and a Lee, a Grant, a Logan
and gallant Butler stood shoulder to
shoulder under the one flag of a com
mon country. This country could
not continue to .xist with a solid
North oppos'v 4 . to a solid South as in
the latter uays of the oU’s. Tin con-
Hict ended at Appomntox—we
tho’.ght it then a defeat, ami a de
feat was bitter; but when the country
culled once more for the service ui
her sons, we found that in defeat
iay our greatest victory and our
country was united as it had not been
for over half a century. We are re
united ns we could never have been
without a national conflict. We have
not forgotten the gallant struggle
upon Southern fields, and we are
proud of the men who wore the gray,
but out of that conflict has come a
better understanding that we never
could have had without it.
We are proud cf the Green Moun
tain boy, George Dewey, and his
matchless victory at Manila; we arc
proud of the gallant Ensign Bagley
of North Carolina, who ran the Win
slow where duty called, into a harbor
where it was practically certain it
could not escape. We are proud of
the heroism of Richmond Pearson
Hobson, whose father fought val
iantly with the Alabama troops for
the Confederacy, and whose great
grandfather was one of tho North
Carolinians distinguished in the clays
of the Revolution.
The South ollered the first sacrifice
of blood to the cause of a common
country and we are proud of it.
I see before me an old woman,
whose hair is whitened by the frosts
of many winters; care and trouble
have drawn deep lines in her face;
her hands are hardened with toil, lu
18(51 her husband went to the war and
was brought home and laid at her
feet a corpse. She lived only for
her baby boy and toiled away
into the nights that he might have a
fair start in the race of life. When
her work is done, ere she retires she
takes from a bureau drawer an old
gray uniform with a ragged hole in
the breast of the coat, passed her
hand lovingly over it and dampens
it with tears. Tho baby boy grew
into stalwart manhood and has long
since been the prop upon which his
mother has leaned. A few days ago
a new uniform came into the little
cottage—it was blue; and when tho
son returns from Cuba crowned with
the laurels of victory the blue uni
form will be laid beside the gray, and
the mother’s pride in him who wore
the blue will soften the widow’s grief
for him who wore the gray.
On this birthday of our republic we
can therefore rejoice, not only at the
liberty granted us under the Declar
ation made on July 1th, 1770, but we
can also thank God that we are now
a united people and that our house
is no longer divided against itself.
From the rock-bound coast of
Maine to Pacific’s Golden Gate; from
Superior’s crystal waters to ihe ever
green shores of the Mexic sea. broth
ers are wo all, prou.l of the Stars and
Stripes, whether we como from the
rising or the setting sun; from the
bleak prairies of the Dakotas or the
sunny slopes of the Carolinas; con
tent to rest beneath its folds, from
the dawn of the morning when the
earth is wrapped iu gray, into the
eventide when the skies have donned
the blue.
During the delivery of Senator Mc-
Laurin’s speech a telegram giving In
formation of the destroying of the
Spanish fleet was received. The Sen
ator read the news to the assembled
multitude and when he had finished
a great cheer went up to heaven us an
endorsement of the great work ac
complished.
Senator McLaurin’s address was
followed by the rendition of “Amer
ica” by tho band. Mr. Butler then
introdued Maj. Hurt, of Yorkville,
who made a neat and appropriate
speech of a few minutes. Maj. Hart
was followed by Mr. Finley, of Yoric-
ville, in a few well chosen remarks.
Mr. Finley was followed by Attorney
General Barber. Mr. Barber’s speech
was a gem. He was frequently ap
plauded for his patriotic utterances.
The speaking was followed by the
game of baseball between Kings
Mountain and Gaffney. This was
the only disappointing feature—for
the Gaffney adherents—of the day.
It was practically no game at all.
Kings Mountain had increased the
efficiency of her team by drawing on
several towns and had a team that
would have been a credit to the
Southern League. Tho consequence
was that Gaffney, with Lor all-home
team, was, to use a slang expression,
“not In it.” At the end of nine
innings the score stood 28 to G in
fuvorof the Tar Heel boys. However,
the game was not de.void of interest,
as quite a number of pretty plays
were made.
All in all, the day was a glorious
one nnct everybody was pretty well
satisfied with it. The behavior of the
crowd was admirable. In all the
throng The Leugek did not see one
man under the influence of whiskey.
Tho general verdict seems to be that
we should make the celebration of
the Fourth an annual thing, and if
tho crowd sti^ys in the same humor
it was Monday we will.
