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 Nir-
rinia was large and South Carolina
was small. Virginia gave to South

He spoke of the greatest Carolln
ian, Wade Hampton. Not so great II
intellect as Calhoun. for no American

greater in all his matchless seit-con
troll. He concluded by saying ina
