full in the face and laid him low.
When he recovered consciousness, and
after rubbing his face a moment he
candidy said, Boys, 1 took in too
much territory the last time"
However, the subject has been as
signed me by the programme commit
tee, and l will do the best l can with
it, at the same time craving your SYM
pathy and attention.
For few minutes let us consider the
condition of our country at the time
the battle of Kings Mountain was
fought and then trace the growth and
progress Of the republic to the pres
ent time.
Mr.. Chairman, on this spot of earth
where we now stand, there occurred
just 129 years ago momentous strug-
gle in which was bound up the destiny
of a country that has since become
richer than Ophir Of Babylon, mightier
than Rome, vaster than the British
empire, and more cultured than Greece.
Had the patriots lost this all-import-
ant battle, our country would have re-
tanned the British yoke and remained
an English province. On this hilltop
on that eventful day quivered the des-
tiny of this republic In fate's tremend-
Gus balances. When the guns ceased
firing, and the smoke Of that hours
terrible contest had cleared away, the
patriots triumph was complete, and
the way grew clear, the path bright,
to the successful termination Of the
Revolutionary war, with our inde-
pendence forever established, and un-
der the guidance Of and smiles Of prov
idence, that young nation has become
the mightiest government that ever
existed on the shore Of time.
Let us notice the conditions under
which the young republic started her
career alone among the other nations
of earth. Her people did not exceed
three millions, scattered over an area
of 100000 square miles. Today her
population has grown to ninety mil
lions of people inhabiting three mil
lions, six hundred thousand square
miles of territory In 1880 Virginia
had the largest population Of any Of
the states; Pennsylvania was next,
and North Carolina third. The coun-
try was then bounded on the west by
the Mississippi river, on the south by
the Spanish colony Of Florida, on the
east by the Atlantic ocean, and on the
north by the Dominion Of Canada. At
that time the northern boundary was
in dispute, and but six Of the thirteen
states had definite boundaries. The

Explanation of Its Meaning and Interpretation of Its
Message.
GREAT ADDRESS BY DR.. HENRY N. SNYDER
the Story of the Battle and Draws
Lessons That Should Be Needed by
the Present

Of these principles that fused English,
Puritan and Scotch Covenanter to-
gether, and sent them victorious to
Naseby and Marston Moor; 1t was
violation and defiance Of these prtnc1-
pies that brought a kings head to
the block after he had been tried and
condemned by an elected parliament
of the people. These principles OF the
right and the ability Of the people to
govern themselves, slowly won through
the centuries, but once won never sur
rendered, the Cavaliers brought with
them to Virginia, the Pilgrims to New
England, the Dutch to New York, the
Swede to New Jersey, the Quaker and
the German to Pennsylvania, the
Scotch-Irish to the new homes along
the slopes Of the Blue Ridge, and the
Huguenot to the lowlands OF South
Carolina. Freedom, self-government,
was born in the blood and bred in the
bone Of most Of these men. But Its
power was strengthened by the stress
and strain of their new surroundings.
1t was felt and realized by all, not only
by the cultivated thinker Of the older
colonies but also by the lonely hunter
by the salt licks Of the Cumberland.
When the storm Of the Revolution
broke, they knew, each and all, clearly
what was at issue and thought 1t
worth while to pay the price OF life
and goods for it. 1t was their rights

to embrace forty-six states, besides
numerous territories and insular pos
sessions, until today one Is startled at
the thought that our country's flag
flies over 3,690,0O0 square miles OF the
earth's surface.
On the goth day of April, 1903, un-
der the mastery guidance Of Thomas
jefferson, that vast stretch Of territory
beyond the Mississippi became part Of
the United States. Out Of this i'm
mense territory have been carved the
states of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missou-
ri, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Kan
sas, Oregon, Washington, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho,
Wyoming, and parts of Nevada and
Colorado, totaling 1,172,000 square
miles. and at the same time giving
possession Of both sides Of the Missis-
sippi river, the longest river In the
world. This great river drains a terri

To be living is sublime"
BY means Of the telegraph and tele-
phone one may sit at his breakfast ia
BILE and read Of the happenings Of yes
te-day In the remotest parts OF eartn.
The whole world Is bound together by
800 cables, which make all nations
neighbors. BY means Of the phono-
graph one may sit at ease in his home
and listen to the voice Of a dead
her grandest operatic style. By means
Of the wireless telegraph the voyager
on the sea no longer fears the terrors
Of the deep, for help can be called
over the winds and waves and arrive
in time to rescue.
One hundred years ago the doctor
and the surgeon were almost unknown;
while at the present science has ad-
yanced so rapidly and wonderfully that
parts of the human anatomy may be
replaced with animal substitutes, the
human system lighted and Inspected
by electricity and the x-ray, and even
death itself baffied and often ROBBED
of its victim.
All this wonderful progress, this
marvellous growth, these phenomenal
inventions and discoveries, have taken
place in our glorious republic, whose
foundation was laid in the storm and
stress Of a battle, the anniversary OF
which this concourse Of people are
here to commemorate today. This,
therefore, is holy ground, and on ap-
preaching 1t one should feel instinct
lively that he should remove his hat
and unlatch his shoes; for here took
place the decisive battle which sealed
the destiny Of unborn millions. God
bless and keep the spirits Of the STAIN
nd
yielded their noble lives in such a
country's cause Brave, simple men!
Pure in motive, patriotic in action,
gallant In battle and glorious In death!
This magnificent shaft but feebly ex-
presses our admiration Of their DEATH
less deeds; for, could the loving and
patriotic hearts before me today erect
a monument in keeping with their SEN
timents, 1t would rise to the stature
Of pure gold and pierce the clouds be-
yond the flight Of bird or eagle.
But yonder lofty, lonely mountain
peak will stand forever as twin SEN
tinel Of this splendid government tri.
butte in granite, to point the spot
where American liberty first received
its full inspiration and drew its first
full breath Of life.
Let US emulate the lives Of these no
BILE men who fought and died and are
buried here, by placing our country's
cause above every cause save that or
God and home. Let US reconsecrate
our lives to this beautiful republic and
determine to make the land they won
for us a garden Of peace, Of happiness,
and religious liberty.
Buried in rude holes, called graves,
the noble dead lie all about us.
REST on, embalmed and sainted dead,
Dear as the life you gave!
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The herbage of your grave.
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
And honor points the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps"

THE NATIONAL MONUMENT.

Men of the up-country Of the two
Carolinas and of Georgia or that olden
day! You had the reward Of all your
sufferings and hardships on this slope
on that day of battle. Today we turn
back to you in gratitude for the price
less legacy you left us, your descend
ants; men of the distant mountains OF
Virginia, of Tennessee, of Kentucky!
You left this field to take up anew
the tasks you but temporarily laid
aside, tasks mighty in their influence
upon the country you here helped to
save-ighting Indians, carving new
commonwealth from the wilderness,
and holding from Frenchman and
Spaniard the west and southwest, the
fairest portion Of our National domain.
Fitting it Is therefore, that we, your
heirs, should dedicate to your memory
this lofty shaft. It's base rests upon
the hill consecrated by your valor and
your devotion to the cause which no"
blesses us, and you were men OF the
hills; it Is made Of enduring granite
dug from the very earth over which
you marched and suffered, and you
were unyielding granite in the STUB
born virtues of your manhood; 1t
points away to the blue Of the over
arching sky from its deep base in the
broad bosom Of the earth, and out OF
your heroic virtues, born Of the soil
that you won, there scared high over
all the aspiring ideal of home, OF
brotherhood of the same rights for all
and special privileges to none, OF re-
ligious and political liberty, in a re-
public of free and equal men. 1t was
for these ideals that you fought and
were willing to die. That granite fibre
of your manhood, that grim, stern bat
tie lust, those muscles Of iron and
nerves Of steel-all were but the ser
wants Of your ideals. These chiefly
constitute your glory. You did your
whole duty in striving to make them
real in your own way and by your own
means, and we Of today honor you
most when we turn from this scene
and these exercises and this shaft ded-
icated to your memory, possessed with
the thought that it shall be our duty,
to meet the new tasks, social, indus
trial, and political, that have come to
us, in the spirit Of the ideals which,
through your deeds here performed,
make this spot a shrine Of patriotic
worship for all Americans.

grey dripping dawn finds them at the
Cherokee Ford on Broad river. They
had marched eighteen miles during the
night, and their enemy was yet fifteen
miles away. But wearied as they were,
they press on without food or rest, and
at 8 o'clock in the afternoon they are
at the foot of the hill ready for the
attack.
ITO catch and destroy Ferguson"
had been the cry Of the mountaineers.
Now they were ready to make it good.
The hated foe was within their grasp.
Leaving their horses, afoot they hasten
into action, with forces so divided as
completely to surround the enemy.
With his usual dash and courage the
British leader answers charge with
charge. But he meets a new kind Of
fighting men, and they give him what
they call Indian play" that is, charg-
ing from the protection Of one tree to
that Of another, they fire upon the
British with their usual deadly accur-
acy. Ferguson repeatedly gives them
the bayonet, mode Of warfare with
which they, too, are unfamiliar. At
each charge they flee quickly down the
hillside till out of reach of the enemy
and then turn to charge and fire again
with terrible execution. For an hour
the slaughter goes on, the American
forces gradually closing in. Early in
the action the gallant Ferguson is slain,
pierced with seven wounds. Nothing
can save his band now. Flags of
truce are shown by the British at va
rious points in the conflict. But the
mountaineers, at least many Of them,
did not even know what flag of truce
meant, and kept on firing. Finally, the
firing ceased. and that October sun
went down on the last of Ferguson and
him men-all slain or captured. The
men of the hills and the mountains
had done what they came to do-cap-
ture and destroy Ferguson. So bury
ing their dead. caring for the wounded,
and taking their prisoners, they turn
their faces once more toward their
valley homes beyond the dim blue line
Of the distant mountains.
But Shelby, Sewer, Campbell, Cleve-
land, Mcdowell, Winston, Hambright,
Lacy, Hill and Williams, with the men
under them had done far more than
destroy Ferguson. Their victory sent
CORVALLIS from Charlotte back to
Winnsboro all but panic stricken,
freed the up-country Of the horror and
oppression Of Tory rule, brought new
hope and courage and faith to the pa
triotic cause every where, and became

In attempting to discuss so big a
subject as the United States Of Amer

lotted to me, I am reminded Of the
braggart who boasted that he could
whip any man in Richmond. No one
taking the gage Of battle, he declared
that he could whip any man in Vir-
ginia; still no one accepting the chal-
lenge, he loudly announced that he
could whip any man in the United
States, whereupon some one struck him

ago. It gave us the imperial republic
