Norfolk, Va, June 2S:-Vlrglnla
and South Carolina are united by a
new tie. It is all due to the great Sue
cess Of "South Carolina day. The
two States have ever been closest in
the sisterhood, and today marks a
new era, not in craftsmanship, not in
martial achievement, but in personal
contact that the inspiration received
therefrom.
Virginia acknowledges South Caro-
lima to be her beloved sister and
South Carolina did herself proud in
measuring up to all expectations Of
this day.
The ceremonies incident to "South
Carolina day" celebration at the
Jamestown exposition we're attended
today by a crowd Of enthusiastic
South Carolinians which filed the
lower floor of the large auditorium.
The exercises we're most auspl-
ciens, and the exchange of greetings
between South Carolina and Virginia
was the distinguishing feature.
The exercises we're called to order
on time by Capt. Vim. E. Gonzales,
chairman of the South Carolina COM
mission, who, in a very happy man
ner, felicitated the South Carolin-
ians upon being here at this time
among the hospitable Virginians. He
then presented Gov. Ansel, who, 1t
was announced, would preside over
the exercises.
'At Home in Virginia's House. -
Gov. Ansel was given an ovation.
Capt. Gonzales statement that at
the evening reception South Carolina
would be ''at home in Virginia's
house'' was also cheered heartily.
The enthusiasm was thrice renewed
before he could speak. Gov. Ansel
appears to be growing upon the peo-
ple of South Carolina an on puble
occasions such as this they hail him
right heartily. He spoke briefly but
feelingly and in an impromptu man
ner which showed his appreciation
all the more.

Gov. Swanson also was given an
ovation. He is a man OF striking

ouent man and a Virginian.
Our Militia Complimented.
He first complimented the South
Carolina militia, saying that ne was
proud that they could yell as Justify
as did their fathers on Virginia soil
in days gone by. There have always
been close ties and warm and LOVING
friendships between Virginia and
South Carolina. In the days OF the
organization Of the government V1r-

was small. Virginia gave to Suoth

in the congress, for she knew 1naI tne
