some statements which may at least be In

of his loyal kindred still survive.
In the fitties the name Of John G. Calhoun
was pronounced most religiously by many,
and much larger number called him "Mr.
Calhoun" with perhaps more reverence than
they called the name OF our Saviour, and GER
tainly with more respect than majority OF

OF God.

And more than this he means TO tell 1t all

THE KITE AND ITS TAIL,

After the war, in season and out of season
speakers on every stump, not recognizing the
changed condition OF our politics, eulogiZed
Calhoun In the most eXtravagant style. A
little later on the name of John G. Calhoun
was used as a sort OF kite, 10 the tail Of which
the names OF local celebrities might be at
tached and eulogized, or praised on every
occasion. There may have been some speech
es that were outlined without these attach
ments, but at this writing | cannot recall
the fact Of any speech being delivered at Alb
bevllle that didn't play more or less on the
same string, and this eternal harping on the
same cord, and this everlasting praise f"our
set" to the ignoring all other men, has com
pletely disgusted very large per cent. Of our
people. They are literally worn out by this
never ceasing dingdong on the same key, as
