mounted en a large truck. Other at?
tractive floats was the one from
Stateburg, representing ihe spirit ol
1770, one from Bethel, one from
Wedgefield. Several or the private
ears were handsomely decorated, bo
totally th.t ot Miss Krlstlansen. But
for the fat I I hat the committee hail

There were hundreds in great choru:

in 1905 (according t<> my recollec?
tion) Senator Tillman and mysell
were chosen by the committee in
barge to deliver an address at \n
? h i Kin, at a meeting that was called
for ilv purpose of organising a ri
union of the Red Shirts patriots* of]
1876. i remember well, that Qov.l
rrilman came to me to confer in re?
latlon to tli*- matter. He said that i; '
was not his ruh* to write speeches
nd that he I ne w that such was m
practice; but he suggested that the
? . a-ion would be historical, and
tated that it was his purpose t"
write in extenso the speech that h<
' ai d make; and I told him that i
ould follow ^his example. We both
i. pared our spec h< . and they were
leltvered respectively, as prepared, j
From that day until this, I havel
never had time to wait*' any of tin
lumerous speeches upon various
.mn which it has been my dutj
o make, in connection with my con?
templated address at Sumter, I had
taken more pains than i have taken InI
'onnectton with any address which I
have made since the a.hire--; at An
lerson; and it was the greatest dls
ippolntment m* my life that my visit
n Bumter was prev< nted so that I
?ould not deliver the address which
had so carefully prepared. White i
tad ii"t written the address, 1 had
?repared it with all ih< care that It
tnportance demanded; and for Its un
oldlng I Intended to depend ui ?n
?Pri vldence and the inspiration of m)

The only portions of the addre
but were written, were In support ??i
iij assertion, that the Southern pea

I tin reupon wrote thai portion ol
the address of Patrick Henry which
