r. People are measured aid hccaii ts
|ly, by the care of and interest in
church, schools and the memory of the
dead. When there is history, that
history should be preserved, and one
generation should declare to another
Gods guidance and blessing and the
heroism of the men and women of
former days. To this end patriotic
| associations should be formed that
they may keep the memory green over
the graves of the faithful dead, and
thus each generation shall light it's
torches from the altar fires of a
dauntless past and find in these as
the Bible in spiritual things, "a lamp
to its feet and light to it's path"
1t is this which gives a distinctive
value to the Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution.
Woman is still the last at the cross
and first at the tomb, and it is highly
proper that the daughters of the wo-
men who were the herines of 1776
shall keep precious the memory of
those dauntless ones who met the test
of savage foes, both red and white.
who rose to their full statue in blood
and fire.
Centuries ago lin a great crisis,
France had one Joan of Arc; in our
Revolution each home had one in
each mother each girl pure as the
Maid of Orleans, dauntless as she,
as lavish of life for the cause, as
ready to die. Today we devote our
selves chiefly to a local part of these
immortals.
In this, the county seat of Union
county, we have in this year of 1915,
formed the first chapter in the county
of the Daughters of the American
Revolution. 1t is well that this work
is begun. We are part of South
Carolina, one of the original thirteen
colonies. Without our aid it might
have been impossible for the Revo-
luton to have succeeded. George
Washington thought that Francis
Marion and our other heroes made
Yorktown and the surrender of Corn
wallis possible. All around us in Un
ion, Spartanburg and other counties
near us there was fighting fierce and
sharp, perils by sword, peril by night
and day, perils from the red savage
and the white savage, foreign born
and Tory.
Out of all this we must choose p
name for our chapter of the D. A. r.
We are fortunate in wealth of ma
terial from which to select. We are
to have name appropriate for the
present and to grow in its dis
tinctive value as the years go by; a
name that will shine brighter in a
day as distant from ours as we are
from the days of '76. When the
members of our chapter then shall
learn from our efforts the story of
their Revolutionary grandparents,

At this time it seems that the peo-
pie. of the State have voted for pro-
hibition by decisive majority. The
people have spoken-the law will gov
ern. The prohibitionists have won the
first round in this fight. I want to
say to them that this fight is not COM
pleted, but the most important part
of the battle has just begun. The de-
termination of the success of the fight
will now depend on them and inc.

all other good citizens for their active

and inflict the penalty which the law
prescribes for infractions of law, and
not simply to furnish me with rumo4s
and unsubstantiated statements which
can not help me to bring violators to
just punishment.

of law and order. The people then
spoke in no uncertain terms, and dur

my ability.

material which made glossy spot on
the ball, which gave it virtually the
same peculiar shoots as are caused by
the emery ball, which has been pro-
hibted in base ball. The only difference
being that Danfortns scheme does not
roughen the cover of the ball, but
smooths it. There are those who con-
tend that the umpires will not allow
Danforth to use this delivery in the
American League. in which event his
effectiveness would be much impaired
and his success with the White Sox
doubtful.
