rem in 1910, as any other cause. South Carolina
voted for him, and he sank with her around his
neck every one else had done who sought her

Palmetto leaf, but they are now trying their best
to sneak away from it, for instead Of delightful
shades and sweet reposes, they find enkindled
around them the burning fires Of disanioa. They
find that Texas first, and the Union afterwards,
will not do, and now they are trying to disayow
such sentiments and declare themselves res2on-
