story of their greatness told, had not

us to delay no longer to revive the
fast fading memories Of those by
whose glorious patriotism and
achievements this good day has be-
come an inheritance for us.
The year l7JJ witnessed two i'm
portant events in the history OF South
Carolina. One was the treaty Of
Governor Glenn with the Cherokee
Nation by which a large territory,
embracing thirteen Of the present
counties in the middle and upper
portions Of our State, including Spar
tanburg was ceded to the Province OF
South Carolina, and opened to set
tiers. The other event, hardly less
important in its bearing upon this
Province, though not enacted within
its borders. Wa. the defeat Of General
Braddock in his rash attempt to take
Fort Duque,ne. This disaster to the
British arms left the western from
tiers of Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Virginia ex 5oSrd to the mercy OF the
