Letter Was i.civeld by i)r. 5. o, Welch fromn Judgn James N. ('ronsotn, With Privilege to Publish It in The llrald and News. Houston, Texas May 12, 1902. "Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing, Under my eye; Warmly and broadly, the south winds are blowing Over the sky. One after another the white clouds .'re tl.et.ing; l'very heart this May mow-ning in juY ance is beating Full merrily. Yet all things must (lie" My dear Spence, this my 78th birthday I dedicate to you. Passing down street yesterday, I saw a handsome young lady, (the great grand daughter of Newberry, and of kin to the Gorees) in a lawn swing, with a horse shoe suspendedl over her. She was reading and I laughingly said to her h at she was well protected fromt goblins anid witches. Association of idesas carried me back 50 years to another horse shoe. (Jarwvile, in his reminiscences, pays a fine tribute to Geo. Giusman, the teacher of a band in Newberry in 1846. It was a jolly crowd that formed that band. Alial Where are they ? Am I alone left ? "It is almost startling to hear the warning of departing time sounding among'the tombs, and telling tie l apse of the hour, whbich, like a billow, is rolling use onward towards the grave. Thus we pass away; our names pass from record and recollee tiorn; our hist ory is a t ale t hat is told." But the bandi '"The soul1 or music slumters in, Its atteil TIllI wauked and kinidled by the master's speill." On4man wvas a master; he was a learned musiciau; he did not grind on in the unemotitonal, coildly correct manner some tire pleased to term "the classical," but his wvas the music so lovingly called "the sweetest spirit of all that serve God," "soft as an angel's rustling pinion, te'nder as the sigh of thy lady love," sounds of delieste and entrancing tenderness. This band was composed of the young men., and was a source of pleasure to the'town; it serenaded much; gatve a concert in the old court house-occu. pied the gallery, while the intell-. gane and baunty of te ton fille ing ei me to my s going to do the ioes for Cash tha isiness of the yea at lovers of fashi bilities.

Remember Thurs INAUG the court room. 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 to Erskine College and made music at the commence ment. Ab yes! they were jolly fel lows. Geo. Gusmana, played the violin, Martin Harris beat the drum, Priest Pratt. played the second fiddle, His brother Bill went tumu tum-tum, All 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-bad a good time there. Wending their way hump, they crossed Saluda at Island Ford, and stopping for dinner at the house of a fine, hospitable old gentlemain some 15 orI 20 miles from town. (his name I have forgoften) His house wvas a twvo sto)ry one, painted white. While at retched out on thve floor, Oscar Black observed a picture cut out of a paper over the door, prodding it he dliscover-ed a ho'rse shoe ne.iled to the wall. We hope the old ,-ent was never afterwards troubled with gob. lines or witches. The band arrived in town at night, and learnmng that Miss Elizabeth Wilson (usually called Puss) was lying a corpse, as they passed dlown the street they p)layedI a mournfnl dirge; to this day I often think of it. She was a most lovely, sprightly and intelligent girl and was a great favorite. Onour way to visi.t wife's nieces (the Misses Websters) anvd attend the reunion U. C. VA., we stopped ofT at Sherman, for- three days, with Hugh 0. Harrington, whomi we had not seenI since hie was seven years old1; now lie is a grand father. Mis fortunes have crowded him, in hav inig his home twice destr-oyedl, onceO b)y a lire. on~ce by a cyclone; but hie has recuperated, and is prospering; hias a beautiful t wo story house on the spvot the others were dest roy ed. Hugh is a fine specimen of the good mlani; his wife cheerful, loving avnd intellectual. He has five daughters and one son; the daughters are sprightly, polished and intelligent; his son,we failed to see. He is said t.o be an excellent busin.ess man. W e gave them one of the splendid photographs of Jundge O'Neall which you sio kinidly sent us, with which they were well pleasedl, as they had no good one.

We thought of the 128th Psalm. "Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the side of thy house; thy chil. dren like olive plants about thy table. Behold that. thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord." 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 I couldl not help it. At the reunion I found many from South Carolina, but none from Newv berry. I donned a Palmetto badge, for I love the old1 land yet. On our way from the reunion, I having on a P~ahuetto, J. V. Daven port, formerly of Laurens, nOW of Dallas, approached me. He inter ested my wife very much, as he knew and adlmiredl her brother Col. Geo. Strot her; J1ames was with him at Charlest on when he fired the signal gun at Fort Sumter and at Boonsb)oro where he fell mortally wounded. As Davenport spoke of him his eyes wvelled over with tears and his voice choked. Said he wvas 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. Hlayne Leavell, ' D. D., pastor. Saw a fine church, a fine looking pireachier, a large atten tive conigregat ion, heard1 a fine ser.. mon, text M.att. 20th chapter 28th verse, a fine choir, two male and two female voices.
