(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. THE B. Y. P. U.
