one end. AS Governor it gave hin
great satisfaction and pleasure to see
Columbia again throw her doors open
to South Carolina. Great applause.
lie hoped from the bottom of his heart
that no iron lock Or bar would ever
again through political prejudice ban
the door against any of the people Of
the State.
He believed this was the beginning
of new era in South Carolina: There
has always been an Individuality
among South Carolinians, and where
ever you find them you find that love
of liberty that is inherited by the peo
pie of the State What gave this State
its character was lis insight into State
craft aud It's vast intelligence. You
are to say whether that shall be per
petuated. He was satisfied the con
vention would not ta ke a step back
ward. He was satisfied that IN the
efforts to do what could be done Tor
the State no ligh!s would be pat out.
He always believed when the good OF
the State was at stake all would join
hands He thanked the people of the
State for this evidence of future unity
among the white intelligence OF South
Carolina. TIE evidence Of future pro-
gress and peace, and let us so forever
on hand and hand together working
for one end, the common good of the
State of South Carolina.
Governor Evans was given a round
of applause.
Mr.. Gillard: Let US take the echo
on the wing and drink to the Confed-
crate soldier" (Applause)
Col. VIM. Wallace introduced Con
gresham Stanyarne Wilson. Con
gresham Wilson responded to the
toast to the United >tates, proposed
bv Col. Wm. Wallace. He said that
no place could be better fitted for re,
spending to such a toast than Colum-
bia, the cradle of secession, from
which all portions of our land could
be reached, from the bleak regions of
the North to those OF the South, where
the alligator alone held sway. He
could say that if one State could claim
more than another in keeping alive
the fires of patriotism that State was
South Carolina. And that when we
had thought to 60 by ourselves our
company had been found so pleasant
we had been held in the Union by
main force, and there we We're now
and there to stay. (Cheers.) This is
a great country, the one that had
shown the greatest ability to assimilate
all people1Teutons, Slaves, Goths and,
last of all, the son of Africa, under the
14th and 18th amendments, and as a
country the greatest of all in clvilizas
ton, with strong government, and
one to stay and one prepared to say
thus, as an elder brother, we would
see toit that no foreign hands should
lay ruthless hands on any part OF the
New World. Cheers and ''Hurrah
for Cuban) And it could be depended
upon, that when the United States
Should be called upon to say that these
should stand, by force Of
arms if need be, South Carolina would
show that the same spirit existed now
as in the Revolution, that the fires OF
liberty still burned. All that Colum-
bia needs is for her to be placed in
connection with the sea and be placed
on the same footing as other cities
similarly situated-a few feet OF water.
That while other cities were asking
for many feet all Columbia wanted
was four feet. 1t was time for her to
rise to a question of privilege, to have
her rocks blown up, and when this
was done we would all come to the
conclusion that Uncle Sam was a very
good old gentleman.
DR.. Joynes, Of the South Carolina
College. said that he deemed it an
honor to be able to offer the toast 10
our educational institutions" When
ais auditors were charged with the re-
sponsi5Ie duties Of providing for the
government of the people they should
zee to it that the foundation of all gov
,rnment, education, should be well
jared for. He had recently visited
country whose greatness had bsen
,uilt up by education. So France was
fow~doing. The greatness of Virgin
a was due to the same cause He call
ID on Mr.. Rogers, of Marlboro, to re-
;pond to the toast.
MIR. Rogers said he yielded to no
nan in his admiration of educational
Institutions of State. First of all come
he great University of the State and
College for Women. OF the Unlver-
;ity he could say Carolina owed to her
he greatest statesmen and jurists of
he State, and it wonld i'll become the
State now to forget her, and he dared
;ay that no member of the convention
would dare lay the vandal hand on
1er. While this was ali true, the con-
7ention should be liberal in their sup
BORT of the primary schools OF the
State. AS a son of donominational
school he would bid God speed to
every institution of the State located
1ere.
Col. VIM. Wallace proposed ''The
United States" +" Response by the Hon.
5tanyarne Wilson.
DR.. Joynes offered: Our Educa-
ional Institutions. Responded by Mr..
Rogers of Marlboro.
Mr.. W. B. Smith Whaley, who IS
most active in the industrial progress
If Columbia, introduced Congressman
W. J. Talbert to respond to the toast
If agriculture.
Col. Talbert made a most admirable
speech.
Speaker Ira B. Jones responded to
Our County and municipal govern
nent;" General Hemphill to the
Press, and Attorney General Bar
Der to Women"
The gathering then dispersed, IN the
very best of good humor.
