Judre Orr saws: THE Iaync family
for instance, | think seldom had less than
twelve or fifteen Of it, branches IL positions
of power and trust" Why, the fat knight
immortalizcd by Shakespeare, did not more
cgreyiou>ly multiply the men in buckram
than does Judge Orr the llayne family in
this astounding announcement.
There were but two "branches' of the
Haync family under the cid regime. One
"branch" were descendants Of my grand
father, Colonel Isaac Hayne. hung by the
British in l7Sl as rebel and secessicnist ;
the other, the descendants Of Abram llayne,:
who died about the same tim: in a British
prison ship. He, too, like his kinsman,
being charged with disloyalty and treason
by those who were then in power. These
two were the only male adult Haynes of
their day. For more than quarter OF
century after their death, there was no Hay
ne in office in South Carolina and during
the ninety odd years which have elapsed
since the death of these two, the Haynes
who have held office, State and Federal, all
told do not number fifteen. Instead OF
twelve or fifteen at all times in Office, VIC
have. all told. less than that number in a
period Of ninety years.
The "lIayue family have, at all events,
left room enough for Judge Orr. That gen.
tlcman, though considerably my junior, has
himself been member of the State l.cgsla-
ture. a member of the United States Con-
srcSs. speaker of the House Of Representa-

Convention, commissioner irom seeded

States. delegate to the National Democratic

I am surprised that gentleman SO various

Judge Orr-should be raking among fossils
and dead mems bones. If the "llaync
family" alluded to by Judge Orr were ever
Il power in the State, they certainly are not
so now, and it would have been kinder OF
Judge Orr to have let them alone. Though
kc may have cut loose from all memories OF
the past, it affords no good excuse for need

who have only these memories left t, cherish.
