Evidently State Press failed to
catch the spirit Of the editorial from

Dnr comments were suggested by
the call of Chairman billiard in
which he set forth as one of the
purposes of the fifth congressional
convention "to declaring the para
mount issue for 1904" We under
took to warn Chairman billiard and

doctrine prevailed that it was trea-
son to suggest any change in the
national democratic utterance; that

expressions in that editorial did
not reflect the sentiment of the

trict or state conventions have no
right to make any declaration not

Horse Shoe Robinson.

The writer has been searching for in-
 formation about Horse Shoe Robinson,
 the hero of Kennedy's novel, who is
 buried in Tuscaloosa County.
 MT A. s. Salley, Secretary of the South
 Carolina Historical. Society. writes as follows:
 Tn reply to yours of the 11th. in ref erence to Horse Shoe Robinson I beg to say that I knew ali about Kennedy s novel. It entirely misrepresents the con dltion of affairs in South Carolina during the Revolution and pe.'verts history. Lika all other historical novels, 1t does or has done much harm to the cause of his tory. l have always believed that Horse Shoe Robinson was d fictitious creation of Kennedy's, but If there really was such a soldier in service in South Carolina as James Robinson who bore the soubriquet of Horse Shoe then he rary rolls, orders, documents and letters are concerned. He must have been one of those reckless characters so often met with among the inconspicuous heroes of a great struggle. The records In Colum- bia. when indexed. df properly indexed), will probably show one or more soldiers by the name of James Robinson, and they may also show that he came from that portion of Ninety six District, after wards embraced by Pendleton District. and they may possibly indicate that one bore the ssoubriquet of Horse Shoe,' but 1t would be great task to find all that uniil tnaL mass or papers IS properly classified and indexed; and even when the work is done we may not be able to find our man. simply because it will have been improperly done
 So much for MT. Sa1ey, who does not like historical novels and has very little faith in Horse Shoe Robinson
 The History of Spartanburg. S. C., page 407, states that After the Revolution, Horse Shoe Robinson resided in Pendle- ton District s. c. He was a scout dur ing the Revolution and a terror to the Tories"
 In the introduction to Kennedys novel he tells the circumstances which led him to write the novel and we see no reason to doubt the truth of his statement as he professes to be relating facts.
 He says that in the winter of 1SlS-19 he he had occasion to visit the western sec tion of South Carolina. He went from Augusta to Edgefield and then to Abbe- vile and thence to Pendleton in the old district of Ninety-six, just at the foot of the mountains. His course was still westward until he came to the Seneca River a tributary of the Savannah. He describes how he happened to spend the night at the home If Col.

The few members who cal and will attend the meetings can arrange an interesting and profitable order of exercises and spend a pleasant hour together during the months of July, August and September. The matter of a quorum must be considered as no new business or anything of im- portance can be decided by an unlawful number, but there need be nothing but routine business and a program of ex- ercises in which all present can take part.
