A TEXAS LETTER,
ANOTHER INTEtESTINU LETTEli FROM
AN ANTE iLILUM LdAWYER.
This. Letter Was i.civeld by i)r. 5. o,

With Privilege to Publish It

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

"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

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.

"All that desire would fly far through

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

female voices. A volume of music
r'ol led through t lie arches as thme large
