that certain points are dangerous

THE gravest effect of the present

a result may be obtained.
For example, nearly all the chiefs

Major Anderson rejected the ultimat.

The news was taken to Fort Johnson
at the head OF Charleston Bay. Cap

there. He offered to Pryor the prlvil-

them the only possible answer. Pryor
declined, because Virginia was still in
