Not caring to be downed in the / moffnr on inimotirrotmn txroa nnrlor. lliUVtV A HU 1U TLOH^UtJWll WW UU Ulluv & taken and the information, full and complete, was found. After all the work had been done the investigator noted in an on old scrap book that a paper on the subject had been read before the Charleston Chapter of the Sons o? the Revolution some years ago and all the work might have been saved by getting this, but it was then too late. The _ work had been done. The great seal is the work of William Henry Dray tun, one of the men I who "pushed," so to speak. South ' Carolina in the Revolution. The | conservative element, though patriotic, were not ready to plunge into war with Mother Country. William Henry Drayton and Christonher Gadsden aided by others were the J mainsprings of action in bringing things to a head in the colony. In Drayton's Memoirs, one will j read that the need of a public seal J becoming apparent in 1776,the Presi ident and privy council were authorized by a resolution of the General Assembly to have one prepared. William Henry Dryaton and others were charged with designing the seal. Governor John Drayton tells us that he remembers as a small boy seeing the mold or die of the great seal brought by the artist, who was engraving it, to his father's house. He does not tell us the name of the ! artist nor does he remember the exact date. He thought it was not in the winter time. 0 On page 374 of the memoirs, we are told just what the seal is intend^ ed to represent and perpetuate: 15! "The device for the armorial achievement and reverse of the Great Seal of the State of South Carolina is as follows: . Arms. A palmetto tree growing on the seashore, erect; at its base, a torn up oak tree, its branches lopped off, prostrate; both proper. Just below the branches of the Palmetto, two shields, pendent; one of them on the dexter side is inscribed March 26?the other, on the sinister side July^., Twelve spears, proper, are bound crosswise to the stem of the Palmetto, their points raised; the bond;Upiting them together bearing the inscription, Quis Separabit, unJ?? ?n i n M uer IRC prusuaic uan 10 luuivucu C Meliorem Lopsa Locavit, below g t which appears in large figures 1776. K| At the summit of the Erergue are t i the words, South Carolina; and at i > the botton of the same, animis C opibusqueparati. Reverse. A woman walking on ? i the se&shere over swords and dagCj gers; she holds in her dexter hand, ? i a laurel branch?and in her sinister ?j the. folds of her robe; shee looks toCi ward the sun, just arising above the ? i sea, all proper. On the upper part, ?> is the sky, azure. At the summit J i of Exergue, are the words, dum ? | spiro spero: and within the field below the figure is inscibed the word, ? ppes. The seal is in the form of a circle, four inches diameter, and four thenths ofvan inch thick." It was not designed until after the fort of Sullivan's Island had defeated the British fleet as all of its devices will prove. The fort was constructed of the stems of the Palmetto trees (Corypha Palmetto) which grow abundantly our our sea islands?which 1776 grew on Sullivan's Island at that time and now. "The arms were designed by Williams Henry Drayton, and the original executed by him with a pen, bearing a great similitude to what is represented on the seal, is in possession of his son, (this in book published in 1821). It, however, contains more devices?but this is easily reconciled by supposing all he had designed was not deeiped by the President and Privy Council necessary to the great seal. The expla* nation of this side of the seal is the RUB OUT PAIN with good oil liniment. That's the surest way to stop them. The best rubbing liniment is MUSTANG LINIMENT Good for the Ailments of Horses, Mules, Cattle, Etc. Qood for your own Aches, Pains, Rheumatism, Sprains, Cuts, Burns, Etc.25c. 50c. $1. At all Dealers. following: The Palmetto tree on the seashore represents the fort of Sullivan's Island; the shields bearing March 26 and July 3 allude to the Constitution of South Carolina which was ratified on the first of these days; and to the Declaration of Independence which was signed on the last of them. The twelve spears represent the twelve States which first acceded to the Union. The dead oak tree alludes to the British fleet, as being constructed on oak timbers?and it is prostrate under the Palme'tto tree because the fort constructed of that tree defeated the British fleet, hence the inscription, Meliarem Lapsa Locavit, is appropriately placed underneath it; under which 1776 is in large figures?alluding to the year the Constitution of South Carolina was passed?to the battle faught at Sul livans Island?to the Declaration oi Independence?and to the year when the seal was ordered to be made. The reverse of the arms is said to have been designed by Arthur Middleton, father of Henry Middleton, Ambassador (1821) to Russia from the United States. The woman walking along the seashore with swords and daggers represents hope overcoming dangers, with the sun just rising, which was about to disclose in the occurrences of June 28,1776; while the laurel she holds signifies the honors which Col Moultrie.his officers and men gained on that auspicious day. The sun rising in great brilliancy above the sea indicates that June 28 was a fine day; it also bespeaks good fortune.

A report published Monday morning from a part of Illinois says: "Fully 40 per cent of the plants is lost, and some wheat fields are being prepared for oats; many moTe will be plowed up later." The above is given out in Chicago as a fair sample of many advices received from Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas and Nebraska. VIRGINIA FARMER Restored To Health By Vinol Atlee, Va. ?
