Mrs. Means Lecture.

Mrs. Means lecture in the ch&Q
OF the Clifford Seminary last Fl
evening was very interesting ano. s
structictive. In part Mrs. Means
said: "From the old South Carolina
there has developed a new South
Carolina, and although 1t is a glor-
ious State now, it cannot be said to
equal the old.
"When Gen. Washington made a
tour Of the United States in 1893, he
said that it was in Charleston, Gam
den and Columbia that he found the
most cultivated women.
Thomas Nelson Page SAYS the
Southern woman was accustomed to
have her wishes obeyed, and these
wishes were always wise and to good
purposes.
You Of the younger generation
have often heard of the old Southern
slave-servants. The Southern women
made them. They taught them their
trades, felt responsible for them,
watched over and cared for them like
their own children. Educational in
fiuence in the Southern home was
very good. The children enjoyed the
privilege Of listening to the discus
sion of politics and other topics, past
and present, by parents and guests
The women took interest in politics
as well as domestic affairs.
"Miss Cunningham, OF this State,
put into effect the idea Of making
Mt. Vernon the Mecca Of the United
States. In 1888 Mt. Vernon was to
be sold 1t was offered to Virginia,
but was not bought that year. Miss
| Cunningham wrote an appeal to the
Southern people which caused MUCH
enthusiasm, both in the North and
South. The first mt given
for buying Mt. Vernon was at Lau
rens, the last by Northern banker
After many struggles Miss Cunning
ham accomplished her plan.
| "On the 18th of February, 1865.
the mayor of Columbia surrendered
the city to Gen. Sherman. At dusk
three sky-rockets shot up in the air.
The women asked each other what it
meant. They soon knew; eight fires
broke out simultaneously. As the
women ran from their burning homes
they were taunted by the Union SOL
diers, but never word they said,
never a cry they uttered"

against the piazza. He was taken to
his home by MI. w. H. Sartor, who
happened to be passing at the time in
his buggy, and DR.. Montgomery was
called in. His injuries, though very
painful, were not so bad as was feared,
and it is hoped that he will be out again

thing imposing in the excessive
self-rcliancc OF Napoleon, who de-
c'ared If there were no one %
