waiting for his horse TO be brought
around. He never lived at the Home
HOuse-his home was farther down
IN Stateburg at a place called now
The Ruins" The British burned this
home and when his wife had died
and his son was married so the good,
brave man went to end his days at u
place called South Mount, now a
windswept, desolate hill with no
sign of dwelling. There he died
and his body was brought down to his
sons home and laid to rest in "the
grove"
In Natalie's dairy, kept all these
years, there is, so one of her descend
ants tells me, this paragraph: TODAY
/ have been out to the grove to select
the place for my grave"
She lived to see her daughter mar
ried, and outlived her husband by a
few years After her death the old
Home House was torn down and the
cottage built Of some of the ma
teral. The lilac walk is gone, the rose
hedge is no more, most Of the trees in
the wood walk have dis; ;.ppeared.
The MOrttlary Chapel.
In the cottage are some old French
books. Some charming old letters, and
a few bits Of queer old furniture. "The
grove" is there. Madame" as Mrs.
Sumter was called, had never heard
Of being buried in the earth-her peo-
pie were all laid in vaults. So after
her death chapel was built Of brick,
with French tiled roof, and her body
taken up and laid in the vault under
the floor. Who shall say that life is
purposeless? How far-reaching it's
influence, maybe, we hardly dare to
think. The writer has not one drop
Of Natalies' blood in her veins and
yet the French womans life has been
a constant source Of interest and ad-
miration and inspiration reaching out
over the years. Inc Home House is
place to go and dream, to open once
more the closed door Of the past and
to live once again in the lives Of
those who were brave and beautiful
and full Of fine courtesy. 1t seems
so well worth while. 1t must all nave
been beautiful and how many distin-
guished people went to the Home
House and wandered over the pic
turesque hills.
Some time they come again to re-
mind us Of the things that can not
die, and their presence is felt in the
old hills and valleys, where they
fought their fight and won their VIC
tories. Mary Waties Sumter.

today were ended before Superior
Court Judge l.. s. Roam, who presided
in the case. Judge Roam tonight an
nounced that he would make public
his decision Friday morning. Attor-

hand, insisted that the defendant had
been given an absolutely impartial
trial.

have heard that Madam Senat open
ed little milliners shop and, again,
that she taught a class in French.
Whatever she did she must have
done well, for she supported herself
and the three children and placed
Natalie at q fashionable school. There
the pretty little French exile met
Theodosia Burr, the petted darling Of
her father, Aaron Burr. Theodosia
told her father Of her schoolmate to
whom she formed q lasting attach
ment, and Burr sought out Natalie.
Deiriended her and took her for q
time into his home, aiding Madam
Senat in her efforts to get news OF
Madam Delage.
AT last when the dark shadow lift
ed somewhat and the French nobility
began to return to shattered homes
and impoverished estates, Madam
Delage, too, came back to the chang
ed and saddened conditions in the
French capital and instituted search
for the lost little daughter. Letters
passed and at last arrangements were
made for the return to her moher Of
Natalie, now girl of 16 or II.

Aaron Burr at this time was in the
United States senate, and his notes
and letters to Natalie are delightful,
throwing wonderful sidelight on his
strange, complex character. However
busy that brilliant mind was, dream
ing of an empire over which he was
to rule, he found time to write kind
ly, playful letters to the lovely girl,
to arrange for her passage, to advise
her what books to read and to tease
her about hers and Theodosia's jeal-
ousies. These letters have never been
in print, but one must be given here:
II received your letter yesterday
while seated in the senate, and neg
lected the public business to answer
it. You and Theodosia craze me with
your jealousies. She always accuses
me OF writing you the longest letters,
and you accuse me of writing her the
oftener. AS do not keep any very
accurate accounts either Of the num-
Der of letters or the number of lines
which they contain, you may for
ausht know, be both right. But 1
suspect not. There is but one way to
satisfy both, and that is to write to

"24 Feb, '97."
Some Of the letters are addressed
to my Dear Nat" and all breathe a
kindly interest and affection for the
young, homeless girl. There is a
miniature OF Natalie which shows her
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1913-11-01

as very pretty girl with little air
of girlish wistfulness. No doubt the
child could still remember the yells
of the Sans Culotte" and the awful
deeds committed in the name Of
Liberty.
Bride of ThOs. Sumter, Jun.
Now with a light heart she was to
return to her mother and her native
land. Her passage was arranged for
and that strange fate which shapes
our destinies was busy too with the
life that was to mingle with hers. Col
Thomas Sumter, son of the distin-
guished Gen. Sumter, had obtained
the post as minister to Brazil and had
his passage on the same boat with
Natalie. How they met do not know,
but l can picture to myself the young
mans admiration for this flower Of
the French nobility, and can imagine
how the young girls heart was won
by her handsome suitOr. At any rate
we know he had wooed and won an
answer before the vessel reached the
shores of France. After much oppo-
sition by the proud Madame Delage
to this republican suitor Of her
daughters she yielded. Perhaps Col.
Sumter told her Of the thousands IF
acres his father owned; perhaps the
general prevailed on madame to give
her consent. We know she yielded
and the young people were married
and went to his post in Brazil. Natali,,
always remained a deyout Catholic
and her children were all baptizei
into that faith. Several if not all ~
them were born in Brazil.
After years they came home to tie
Home House and mere we take up the
story at Stateburg once more.
There are charming stories Of the
French lady taking up bravely her life
on the plantation, mistress of a num-
ber of slaves the mother Of six chill
dren, and a member Of a neighbor-
hood who all worshiped at the Epis-
copal church, the Church Of the Holy
Cross. Though wistfully her heart
and mind must have crossed the water
to sunny France sometimes, she took
up her share in the life around her,
wrote bravely to her mother and
visited sometimes her beloved friend,
TheOdosia, now the wife of Gov. AL
ston, and living in Charleston. In
letter to her father, Theodosia
writes: Natalie is here, and receiving
far more attention than I ever re-
ceived."

The Home House was the scene, too
OF many gaieties-a small world
where life was full and busy. 1t must
have been a beautiful place. The lilac
walks led down to the grove, the
burial ground selected for the family

because ii is good to try and keep
alive the names and at least a part
OF the life story Of some Of those peo-
pie who helped to make Stateburg
and South Carolina in general the
chivalric and historic places they have
always been. Kipling's oft quoted
lines come aptly now in these dark
days:
Lord God Of hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget, lest we forget"
Natalie Delagc.
The Home House was given to his
son. Thomas Sumter, by Gen. Sumter,
and here he brought his pretty French
bride. Natalie Delage, who is entitled
to a page all to herself. The Home
House was then big, rambling house
with IA rooms, and the grounds were
laid out in innumerable walks. The
rose hedges. the lilac walk, the wood
walk are remembered by persons liv-
ing now. There the young couple
lived, with their six children, the lives
Of whom are SO interesting and ro-
mantle that the writer would have to
go far beyond the limits Of this sketch
to follow each to its fulf1llment. So
let me take the gentle mistress of it
all, Natalie Delage. And old friend
used to say 'the name slips from the
tongue like music"
Natalie was born in France in the
days when the storm was gathering
which saw its awful climax in the
French revolution. Madam Delage
her mother, was a lady-in-waiting at
the French court and made her es-
cape with her child, gOverness
Madame Senat, and Madame Senat's
two children. Better to evade tho
watchful eyes Of the people. Madame
Delage disguised herself as a peasant
and divided the little party, going
aboard two trading vessels bound for
the new world-Madame Senat and
the three children on one and Mad
anne Delage going alone on the other
What courage and fortitude hers
must have been! All was lost-the
Princess Lamballe had that morning
been torn to pieces by the mob. Mad
anne Delages pretty sheltered life,
surrounded by the glitter and pomp
OF the French court, would hardly
seem a fitting school to develop calm
ness and bravery in the face Of
frightful peril and heartrending sep
aration. But where many men failed
this little band, headed by Madame
Delage. succeeded, and out on the
open sea the two vessels parted.
Madame Delage's vessel, caught in a
storm, was blown ashore off the West
Indies; the other vessel brought the
cargo safe into the New York harbor.
What a pathetic little group it must
nave been--poor Madam Senat, Ma
