Program leader was Mrs. It. F. Sanders. The topic was on u Southern Authors On The Pre-War Between the States Period.” Mrs. Sanders stated that be fore her research, she had nc idea there were so manj Southern Authors. It wat interesting to note that the most frequently mentioned authors prior to 1850 were clergymen, doctors, educators and lawyers; that perhaps these were the only persons who had educations, and most of their works pertained to their professions. There were also more female author* of that period than one would suspect “But writ ing was one of the few things a woman could do at that time without being ostracized,” the speaker said. The information for the program was obtained from the “Library of Southern Litera ture” compiled by Lucian La mar Knight. These are the authors listed from Newberry: John Brown Carwile, John A. Chapman, James Wood Davidson, Job Johnstone, Burr James Ram- age, J. H. Hammond and Marcus Claudius Marcellus Hammond. Richard Furman and two of his sons are mentioned among Southern authors. Others who left their mark were Henry Watkins Allen, Robert Francis Withers Alston, Caroline Aug usta Ball. Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard was an author as well as a soldier. Kate Cornish is listed a South Carolina poet who wrote under the name of “Kil Court- land.” She had written a num ber of poems, and in 1907, the Dixie Chapter of the UDC at Greenville published these in book form. Mrs. Ralph B. Baker read a poem by Sidney Lanier at the program’s close. Mrs. Shealy dismissed the chapter with a prayer. ON VALENTINE DAY AQtyT Q&veVbu!' with the most beautiful Heart of ad!
