WI WAlsHINGToN's BIRTHDAY.
Speech of J. L. Tribble, Esq.,, before
tile Anderson Democratic Club.

Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen:
1t is q tritc observation that the world
is stage and mankind the actors. Each
has his part to perform in the great
drama of life, whether that part be one
of honor or one of dishonor. The finest
actors usually select the best characters
in order to receive the plaudits Of. man
kind, while sometimes the mantle of
honor is cast upon the shoulders of some
poor actor, wholly untricd. So have you
honored me tonight, but it was your
privilege to command my services, tits
my duty to obey. Although I feel the
want of experience in public speech
making, yet I need no other "spur to
prick the sides of my intent" than q
solemn duty, which rests, not only on
me. but on every son of Carolina, if he
have the soul and spirit of man within
him. Each of you present feel the
weight of that duty. 1t gives character
to YOUR work and determination to your
success. If you do not feel it then why
are you present tonight at Democratic
meeting? Or have you come from mere
idle curiosity, to hear an eulogy pro-
nounced upon the name and character
of Americas first and greatest chioftain?
~Teems not each ditty with the glorious tale?
Ali such, alas the hcro's amplest fate
When granite moulders and when records fail,
pcasant's plaint prolongs his dubious date.
Pride bend thine eye from heaven to thine estate
See how the might shrink into song.
Can volume, pillar, pile preserve thee great?
Or m must thou trust Traditions simple tongue
When lattery sleeps with thee, and history docs
thee wrong"
But with our hero fattery sleeps not,
nor is history unmindful of his great
deeds And when pause to count the
links in the mighty chain of time ex.
tending back from to-day to the 22nd of
February, 1892, Washington's birthday; ;
when call to memory the hero OF this
anniversary, over whose fair record no
foul dust of vanishing years can ever
settle; when 1 stop to contemplate this
splendid character-acme OF human
greatness, and sever one little green leaf
of laurel from memory's page to bind on
his evergreen chaplet; when l think of
the man whose name perhaps will be on
the lips or ought to ring IN the ears OF
forty millions of freemcn to-day, well
may shrink back at my own insignif-
cance, and feel that it would be the
height of presumption for me to do more
than lisp the name of Washington. Be-
sides, there are so many others better
qualified to speak, and since so many
, bright burning eulogies have been, and
will ever be, pronounced upon his name
while mankind shows all appreciation of
virtue, valor and patriotism. Of him

mother, remember, too, how much easier
it will be for your soldier boy to do his
duty when he knows his loved ones are
in some quiet place, sheltered from all
rude alarms. wish I could be with you
to relieve you of the care and trouble Of
moving; but it cannot be, every soldier
now fit for duty is needed to the front
In few days another desperate battle
must be fought-the God of Battles alone
can foresee the result. The "Battle of
Franklin" has been for us victory bril-
liant but barren. The Federals evacua-
ting their position and retreating to
Nashville, the field was ours; but, oh,
how dearly bought 1t is true, in years
to come, We may with just enthusiasm
and pride point our children to Franklin
and say: "See how Southern soldiers
fought for such hsroism, such daring as
our gallant boys displayed, it is surely

back upon the sad and irretrievable past;
rather glancing upward and forward, and
wooing bright "auspicious hope, the
friend of the brave" determined to con-
quer or die in defence of the cause which
is dearer than life!
Our General is generous, daring and
brave, but I do not believe there is a

who does not regret the removal of the

mother, I have not time to dwell upon a

She gave ME two eggs, just as she used to

Together we went to the old mill pond
where dear papa loved to have us go with
him on those bright, warm April after

happy, happy past I cannot, must
not dwell upon it. Our precious mother

their native country is sure criterion OF
their love, patriotism and devotion to
that country. All men like to speak OF
that which affords them pleasure, let 1t
be the love of money, the purer love OF
woman, or the love of country. The en-,
thusiastic youths ofGreece, standing amid
her classic groves, loved to sing Of glory
and of Greece. Are we less patriotic, or
have we less love of country than they !

thinkers than Carolina, and Drawer heroes

never marshaled under his victorious
eagles, in the palmy days of lofty Rome,
braver legions than the soldiers who raj

which they sacrificed their blood in the
cause of her freedom.
By the laws of nations the colonies be-
came the property of the English by
right of discovery. After our ancestors
gained their independence it became
theirs, the title deed was written by the
sword, sealed in the presence of witnesses
by their sacred seal of blood, was held
by peaceable possession until no question
could be raised about the title, and to us
it has descended by right of inheritance,

THE rERMINUs OF MAIN STREET

We are informed that according to
the town surveys South Main street at
the junction of Bullion comes to an
abrupt termination; that the street ends
right there, and the parties who have
obstructed the free passage Of wagons
at this point have committed no illegal
act nor have trespassed on the public
thoroughfare. From the time that
Eureka has been known as a town,
| Main street has extended southerly u
far greater distance to all intents and
purposes than that now claimed by in
terested parties. 1t has been in use by
the travelling public as a highway. The
southern limit OF the town as laid out
by the County Commissioners, extends
a considerable distance further than
the crossing of Bullion street, and at
least to the boundary lines all streets,
and more especially our main street,
should be regarded rs open and public
thoroughfares. BY the tearing down
of the bridge at the point referred to,
teamsters are compelled to take q long
circuitOus route in order to regain the
street, which not only proves q great
Inconvenience but is a severe tax on
the heavily burdened animals, drawing
the ponderOus loads of freight to and
from our town. The citizens of that
locality should apply to the County
Commissioners to have the street de
clared opened to the town limits, and
II they should fail to cur their Oh
jet in this way, make a vigorous pro.
test against the granting Of the ground
TO any one for private uses. before the
Register Of the Land Office at this
place, and have it brought before the
proper authorities at Washington for
final action.
