we see the necessity of rewriting

read as John lFskc helps to pcrpctuate
such Il libel. The descendants of the
so-G'llcd AnglO-SaXOns have been so
perslstcntly pushed to the front by
New England writer's of HISTORY that
many weak men and women orc
ashamed of their good old lrisl, an

| Looking down the southern coast.
we find, in 1734-1737, a considerable
Irish colony on the Santce River in
South Carolina, called by the Indian
ha'nc, the Qaxhaws. Williamsburg,
on the Black River, ana Camden, on
the Watercc, were entirely peOpled nv
the Irish, and one of the historians of
the State OF South Carolina says.
"That almost every ship that sailed
from Ireland for the port of Charles
ton was crowded with Irish men, wom-
en- and children" Five hundred came
into South Carolina at one time upon
the promise that they would be allow
Ell TO lOcAtc Oh the land of the Ycnasee
Indians. This promise was broken:
many were reduced to misery, and
others found their way to the North
rrn colonies. Among the Waxhaws
settlers were the Jtutledgcs, Jacksons
and CalhOuns - names famous in
American history.
North Carolina had also it's share OF
brave dnd devoted IrshmcI. Here,
in this state, that brave Irshman,
James Moore, headed n revolution in
1905; converted that province from a
proprietary to a popular government,
elective from the people; he combatted
all the forces and power of sthe pro-
prietors; was elected by the people the
first governor of Carolina. He gloried
in his relationship to the Moores of
Drogleda.
We find in 174G that intrepid hunter
and explorer, Daniel Boone, pene-
trating the forest and beginning the
settlement Of Kentucky. With him
were such wcll-known Irishmen as
Major Hugh McGmdy, Harland, Mac
Bride, Chaplin, McAfee, Logan, Butler
and Hogan, and Marshall, in his his
tory of Kentucky, says: For enter
prise and daring courage none trans-
ccndcd Major Hugh McGrady." Nc
Grady came from near Mayo and is
supposed to have belonged to that ia
nous family so pathetically lamented
by bard Of the Jacobite era in these
lines:
"Tis my grief that Patrick Loughlin
! is not Earl in Erin still;
That Brian Duff no longer rules as
! Lord upon the Hill;
That Colonel Hugh McGrady should
be lying stark and low
