Hampton's Name cheered.
He spoke Of the greatest Carolln-
ian, Wade Hampton. Not so great IN
intellect as Calhoun, for no Amerl-

South Carolinians. The white flower
Of friendship will add fragrance and
color to the beautiful bouquet which
has been brought to jamestown by

Carolina outranks all others States
because she has preserved to a better
degree the ideals Of former days
with the pluck and progress OF today
