THE WALLACE HOUSE GAVEL.' N Interesting Memento of Days of 76. J The follow ing clipping in regard j to the presentation of the gavel used by the late Gen. W. H. Wal- J j lace as speaker of the historic and I , famous "Wallace House" will be: ^ of interest to many Union people: [ | Very appropriate resolutions were j j adopted by the Timrod library yes-! ^ tcrday afternoon on the prescnta- ! j tion of the gavel of the Wallaee [ ^ house to that association. The' u gavel is a gift ofCapt. W. A. Court- j nay, of Ncwry, and the presentation s was made by that gifted orator, ,x Gen. IieRoy F. Youmans, and the ) response made by Col. J. B. Norris, j the president of the librarv. Aftor - the presentation the following reso-! t lutions offered by Col. Henry T. j ^ Thompson were adopted: "Resolved, That the thanks of ^ the Timrod library arc due and arc j hereby tendered Hon. William A. I y Courtcnay, of Newry, S. C., for the ^ very valuable gift he has made the library in the shape of the historic gavel which was used by the pre- y siding ofliecr of the Wallace house , in 187(>. J "Resolved, further, That Capt. Q Courtcnay be requested to address us a letter giving us his views in regard to the proposed erection of a ! ^ library building in Columbia." The gavel is unpretentious and ^ simple, as was befitting the time. Its walnut head contrasts strangely y with a handle of cheap pine, with a o brass ferrule in the end. But its ^ ruggedness suggests the house itself. ^ The gavel has been bound with two handsome silver bands on one of ^ which is inscribed: "This is the ^ gavel of the historic Wallace house, 7 i used by the Hon. W. H. Wallace, J November 28, December 22, 187(5, j | as speaker. Presented to the Tim- j? rod library, Columbia, S. C., by . Hon. William A. Courtcnay, 1905." ^ On the other band, the inscrip- ^ tion reads, "April 3, 1877, the _ president ordered the secretary of ^ war to withdraw the troops from , the state house of South Carolina, . which was duly done in regular official course, troops leaving April ! 10, 1877, on which day Governor ^ , Wade Hampton occupied the cover- A nor's oflice." * ^ Sad Death In Gaffney. The sad news that Mrs. Arthur v Kendrick of Gaffney, formerly Miss ^ Edna Foster of this city and a p ' daughter of Mr. Tlmd K. Foster, p j died Monday afternoon was received 11 here with deep and sincrc regret by 11 j the many friends of Mrs. Kendrick J' | and her family. The warm and v heartfelt sympathy of all of these 1 goes out to the bereaved husband a j and parents and relatives who f I mourn the untimely loss of this . estimable and lovely young matron t I who just two years ago was married t here. A host of friends here will c lament this sad death and with v I 1 ' sorrowful hearts extend their love c , and sympathy to the bereaved in ? the dark hour of bereavement. <] j We clip the following notice from tl the Tuesday issue of the Gaffney * Ledger " Mrs. Arthur Kendrick died yes- j terday afternoon about one o'clock y at her home on Frederick street, j, I after an illness of two wceksr t Mrs. Kendrick was formerly Miss ?' Edna Foster, of Union, and had been married nearly two years. n She was about twenty-two years of ? age, a member of the First Baptist church of this city, and a most esti- ^ mable young woman in every par- jj tieular. ? The funeral will be conducted to- c day from the First Baptist church ^ and the remains interred in Oakland cemetery. The bereaved young husband has ., the sympathy of the entire city in * his great sorrow. j. West Springs Versus Hampton. / The second game between Hampton and West.Springs was played on the Hampton diamond Saturday October 14 and the score resulted * 11 to 10 for the West Springs team. P The Hampton team was strongly ' reinforced by Woodruff and Cross ?Keys, Bctsill doing some fine work r in the box, while Lee, and the baby I boy Lancaster, did some star field- 8 ing for West Springs. P The West Springs boys will not 1 soon forcret the kind jind ennrtemis C treatment rendered them by the Hampton team, nor the bounteous dinner served on the ground. It was a great pleasure for the j, West Springs team to visit that j section of country situated 2 miles r abqyo Cross Anchor. The land is | level and productive, and the many ^ pretty homes gives evidence that , they are livers at homo. J. Boyd Lancaster, Captain Springs Baqe ?ali Team. t A Story of Two Violins. Between the years 1780 and 1781), Vlr. John Gage, Sr., came to Union rom Coleraine County, Antrim, in he North of Ireland. A few years atcr Mr. John Gage, Jr., a cousin, :ame also to Union from the same dace in Ireland. One of the two >rought with^him two violins; these wo instruments afterwards became he propery of Mr. Columbus Gage, he youngest son of Mr. John Gage, r. Mr. C. Gage loaned one of hese violins to Simon Farr, either luring or shortly after the Civil Var. Simon never returned it, >ut pawned it to Mr. Daniel T. Hack for live dollars. In converation with Mr. Black some time ftcrward8 Mr. Gage told Mr. Black bout having loaned Simon the i iolin. Mr. Black said to Mr. Jage that he, Black, had the violin, hat Simon Farr had Dawned it to lim for the loan of five dollars, but 1 nys Mr. Black, I will give it back 3 you, Mr. Gage, Ixjcauso it is ours. Mr. Gage said, "No Dan, , ou can keep it. I have one, the j late to it, and I don't play much | oiv. We not knowing anything | bout this violin, but knew that Mr. J Hack had an old violin, having I card him play it many a time. = ire asked him if he still had the Id violin he used to play and he lid yes, and told us the story bove related. Mr. Black had put ( lie old violin in the furniture reair shop of Mr. T. E. Bailey to ave some repairs done on it, where 1 [its had gnawed it. Mr. Black I ery kindly said the violin by rights | ught to lie and belong to Mr. C. , iage's family and he gave it to liss Sydney Gage without charge, r'liich act is highly appreciated by he children and grandchildren of Ir. C. Gage. The negro, Simon \arr, to whom Mr. Gage loaned he violin, was a slave of l)r. Joseph I. Dogan and changed liiff name to arr and was elected to the Iegislaurc from Union County during cott's administration when the adicals, renegades, scalawags, earyet baggers and negroes had charge f the State. Mr. Frank Gage, of acksonville, Fla., has the mate to his violin Mr. Black so kindly gave o Miss Sydney Gage. These violins i nay bo the make of Giovanni Paolo ( laggini, the celebrated Italian iolin maker, whose work dates ack" to 1000. If this old violin could talk, it ououess couia a talc unfold that ,ould make the hair on your head tand on end like the quills upon ~ he back of a fretted porcupine, 'or well do we remember when it layed a leaning part in"an amateur ainistrel troupe of all home talent, amcly: Dan Black, Warren Barntt, Munroe Fant, Bush (Oeorge) ircer and several others. Bush /as then a comic looking boy, and le played the part of the drunkrds son in "Ten Night's in a Baroom." And he presented a touchng sight as he bent over tie. prosrate form of his father lying upon he floor of the bar room, while the roupe sang, "Father, dear father, ome home with me now,".with iolin and guitar accompaniments, 'he "end men" of this troupe racked some good jokes. One was 'Hello Sambo! whar you bin all lis long time." "I bin a l>oarding lown at the rock house, part of the ime with Mr. Sheriff Joe Fant, nd part with Mr. Sheriff John ] Jibbs.". "Yas, you bin in jail, len." "Yas." "What (ley put J ou in dar for, Sambo." "Nothng much. I borrowed a watch J rom a man." "Pat's curis." . 'Well, you see, I had to knock the 1 nan down to malfl} him lend it to x tie." "Sambo, was dar any other * icgro in der but you." "Yas, a j aller was in der wid me." "What * ic in dar fur." "For picking up a | ttle piece of rope." Pat's qunr." 'Yas, but dar was a cow at one nd of the rope. Pat feller he tried n guy me one day and axed me diat time it was. I say, I thought t was about milking time.'' Those /ere lively days in Union, when he old Confederate veterans got lomc full of humor and fierce fun, Address at Poster's Chapel and Bethlehem.
