This Letter Was Received by Dr. s. G. Welch rroma Judge Jas U. CrooD, with Privilege to Publish It . io The Herald and News. Houston, Texas May 12, 1902. "Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing, Uinder my eye; Warmly and broadly, the south winds are blowing -Over the sky. Oeafter another the w bite,clouds are 4fleeting; Every heart bhis May morning in joy ance is beating Full merrily. Yet all things must die " My dear Spence, this my 78th birthday I dedicate to you. Passing down street yesterday, I saw a handsome young lady, (the great grand danghter of Newberry, and of kin to the Gorees) in a lawn swing, wifh a horse shoe suspended over her. She was reading and I laughingly said to her that she was well protected from goblins and witches. Association of ideas carried me back 56 years to another horse shoe. Carwile, in his reminiscences, pays a fine tribute to G1eo. Guisman, the teacher of s bai.' in Newberry in 1846. It was a jolly crowd that formed that band. Alas! Where are they ? Am I alone left? "It is almost startling to hear the warning of departing time sounding among the tombs, and telling the lapse of the hour, which, like a billow, is rolling us onward towards the grave. Thus we pass away; our names pass from record and recollec tion; our history is a tale t hat is told." But. the band! "The soul of music slumoers in it s shell Till waked and kindled by the master's spell." Gn"nman was a master; be was a learned musician; he did not grind on in the unemotional, coldly correct manner some are pleased to term "the classical," but his was the music so lovingly called "the sweetest spirit of all that serve God," "soft as an angel's rustling pinion, tender as tbe sigh of thy lady love," sounds of delicste and entrancing tenderness. This band was composed of the youog meii, and was a s.ource of pleasure tc the town; it serenaded much; gave e concert in the old court bouse-occo, pied the gallery, while the in.telli ,.ence and beauty ofn t he town fillec inge cme to my s going to do the ioes for Cash tha isiness of the yea at lovers of fashi bilities.

I was on the look. out for a pair of brilliant black eyes which I afterwards captured and they are now by me. "Sweet are the charms of her I love." This band went totrskine College and made music at the commence ment. Ah yes! they were jolly fel LOWS. Geo. Gusmani played the violin, Martin Harris beat the drum, Priest Pratt played the second fiddle, His brother Bill went tumn tumn-tumn, Ali alone on the old trombone: And a very good time had we. Returning in an improvised band wagon, they gave a lively concert at Cokesbury-had a good time there. Wending their way home, they crossed Saluda at Island Ford, and stopping for dinner at the house of a fine, hospitable old gentleman some 15 or 20 miles from town. (his name I have forgotten) His house was a two story one, painted white. While stretched out on the floor, Oscar Black observed a picture cut out of a paper over the door, prodding it he discovered a horse shoe nailed to the wall. We hope the old gent was never afterwards troubled with gob lins or witches: The band arrived in town,at night, and learning that Miss Elizabeth Wilson (usually called Pass) was lying a corpse, as they passed down the street they played a mournful dirge; to this day I often think of it. She was a most lovely, sprightly and intelligent girl and was a great favorite. On our way to visit wife's nieces (the Misses Websters) and attend Ithe reunion U. C. Vs., we stopped off at Sherman, for three days, with Hugh 0. Harrington, whom we had not seen since he was seven years old; now he is a grand fatber. Mis fortunes have crowded him, in hav ing his home twice destroyed, once by a fire, once by a cyclone; but be has recuperated, and is prospering; has a beautiful two story house on tbe spot the otbers were dest roy ed. Hugh is a fine specimen of the good man; his wife cheerful, loving an:d intellectual. He has five daughters and one son; the daughters are s3. Aiy, polisbed and intelligent; his son we failed to see. He is said to be an excellent busi,;ess man. W 'e gave them one of the splendid photograpbs of Judge O'Neall which you so kindly sent us, with which they were well pleased, as they had no good one. Here we found a sweet home feeling -the settled repose of affection. fer I Doors any Dry Goods busir n the next two la .r.

We marked the days of our visit with a white stone. May God's peace, love and joy dwell with them. I have written much of this good family, but we were so delighted with them that 1 could not help it. At the reunion I found many from South Carolina, but none from New berry. I donned a Palmetto badge, for I love the old land yet. On our way from the reunion, I having on a Palmetto, J. V. Daven port, formerly of Laurens, now of Dallas, approached me. He inter ested my wife very much, as he knew and admired her brother Col. Geo. Strother; James was with him at Charleston when he fired the signal gun at Fort Sumter and at Boonsboro where he fell mortally wounded. As Davenport spoke of him his eyes welled over with tears and his voice choked. Said be was one of the best, bravest, most generous and smartest men he ever saw. For 200 miles he continued to talk of him and her kinsfolk. Last Sunday attended the Presby terian church, Rev. Hayne Leavell, D. D., pastor. Saw a fine church, a fine looking preacher, a large atten tive congregation, heard a fine ser mon, text Matt. 20th chapter 28th verse, a fine choir, two male and two female voices. A volume of music riled through thbe arches as the large congregation joined in the singing. I thought of the difference between that singing and the sioging in the old Head Spring church, led by Thos. Chalmners, i.be precentor, and Dr. Leavell's grandfather, that noble good man, Dr. A. W. Chalmers, sit ting in the corner to the left of the pulpit and joining in tbe singing as a matter of duty, but who as to the matter of tune did not knew the dif ference between "Old Hundred" and "Billy in the Low Grounds,' his deep sonorous voice sounding like that of a big bullfrog amidst he shrill tones of the jnnior frogs.

Good, kind friend: Many faces of dear little children look up unto you today from tbis your home for the care of tbe fatherless. You are their helper, their benefac tor, their earthly all. Without your help what would be come of two hundred little brothers and sisters? You can give but little, perhaps, but think of it: Five dollars will provide for a child, its board for a month, or its schooling for a yearl Even a dime will give the child its three meals a day. Just now we need you. The time has come when summer wants are mul tiplying, and even biread is scarce and ard to get. A little just now from each of a thousand friends, would mean a great deal to these children. It is a joy to know that you will not forget us. You never do. God's blessing is your only reward.

(S at the Greatec CONVENTION AFTERMATH. SENATOR TILLMAN'S HOi SPEECH ON NATIONAL ISSUES. A Verbatim Report of the se-nator's speech. It Is in the Nature of a Justifieation of His Recent Speech in Congress, Which Met With so Much Un favorable Comment fro:m Dirt Eaterl. [Special to News and Courier.] Clumbia, May 22. --Every one has gone home delighted with the work of the State convention. There has never been such a harmonionis gath ering. Of course those who are look ing for office, those who have settled convictions, but mostly those ho want to keep in the public eye had something to say, but there was precious little talking, absolutely no feeling, and it was an ideal peace and unity gathering. Every one seemed to be in a pretty good humor, and if what was done was not pretty gener ally satisfactory no one t.ook the trouble to say so. There had been.mutterings all dur ing the week of opposition to the proposed change in the pledge. The committee, however, restricted it to candidates for congress and the United States Senate, and in that way removed some possible objection to the measure, but all of the talk about opposition faded away like a dream. It was so sudden as to be almost a shock. Senator Tillman read the reports of the committees. First, he read the proposed change in the party pledge. It was adopted without any one even asking what it meant or how it changed the present pledge. Then he read the proposed plan of changing the number of cam paign meetings. He looked around and some one suggested that a change might be made in the ver biage. He readily corjsented and took occasion to say that it was not his report at all, but the report of thbe committee, to whom the entire mat ter had been referred, and upon all occasions he made it a point to insist that the reports were those of the committee, and that he was merely a member of the committee. This morning Senator Tillmnan, if talking said that he was mueh grati fed with the work done, and, with a laugh, suggested that everything baw gone through on schedule time. Pa renthetically, it may be remarked that Senator Tillman did not personally favor the resolutions condemning the couse of Senator McLaurin. H< the Crow< Ieve I am selling .d.

The only set speech and the one which stirred the boys up most was that of Senator Tillman at the close of the convention. It was done in Tillman's own way and stirred up things, as he usually does. Here is an excellent stenographic report of the after convention speech: Mr. President, Gentlemen of the Convention: It is very late and I am not like a good many of you who have had little to do since we took a recess today, because I was engaged from the time you adjourned as soon as we could get together from din ner continuously until the conven tion reassembled. There was no opportunity to get any supper, so I am tired and really I have no desire whatever to make any speech. I re cognize the fact that I am under obligations to you as one of your public servants to make reports when occasion offers as to what is going on in the national field. I will, there fore, trespass for a brief wbile on your patience and present in the very briefest way possiole such ideas as may occur to me on matters about which you might like to hear. We have passed through two cam paigns, that of 1896 and that of 1900, in both of which we were sing ularly defeated as a national party. The campaign of 1896, following the betrayal of the Democracy by the man whom we had elected Presi dent, found us in a condition of de moralization and of impending dis solution almost until that famous convention at Chicago, which has been considered by many as a new Declaration of Independence, or, rather, its platform of principles and its work was looked upon by the Democratic masses as involving a re turn to the fundamental doctrines of the party. 1 bis convention declared its purpose to stand by the common people and the principles of the fa. thers. We were defeated by efforts on the part of our opponents, the REpublicans, such as had never been witnessed ini the political history of this country. It was my fortune that year to be called upon to work n the Northen States, and I made own! more Dry Goods, ,t completed the n length of time, n with the great apital.

I tell you that the feeling of dread and fear among the capitalists, the bank 'ers, the corporations who constitute the backbone of the Republican co horts has never been surpassed in the history of the organization. But we were defeated. Something like $17,000,000 subscribed by these un lawfal trusts went to defeat Mr. Bryan. In the last campaign we went into the fight under conditions that were well-nigh hopeless. We had just endied a successful war brougbt on 4 by the Democracy against the pro test and wishes of the Rebublicans, and the large amount of money which was set afloat, $200,000,000 of bonds, andthe tax levy increasing the Government income to a fabu lous amount, the victories at Santi ago and other places in Cuba and of Dewey at Manilla, left the Democ racy with practically no chance to win in the last fight, no matter what candidate we had or what platform we might have gotten. But we fought bravely and, handicapped though we were by the conditions I have mentioned polled 6,000,000 votes-our opponents beating us only by about a million. We are now brought face to face, as I understand it, with this condi tion of affairs: The Republicans are drunken with power. They are mov ing forward remorselessly with their program of imperialism, by which it is intended that we Americans, we former colonies of Great Britain, who threw off the British yoke be bause we did not believe colonists ought to be governed from abroad these Republicans, I say, are ignor ing the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitu tion, and have set in motion machin ery to subject the Filipinos by force, after having bought them like chat tels in the market. They stand arrayed today in solid phalanx in tending to perpetuate the American sway in the Philippine Islands with the Stars and Stripes waving over subjects, not citizens; over people who have been treated with cruelty such as there is no record of in the history of bumanity--all in the name of Christianity and humanity and liberty! They have organized there a local government, consistingof five Conclnded on fourth page.
