before the supreme court this week,

Co. contending that he took advantage
Of information obtained by him while
he acted in the fiduciary capacity for
the company to obtain such title. The

THE GARRICK

The Princess of Patches is the title
of the photoplay to be presented at
the Garrick theatre on Wednesday and
Thursday. The play is a film version
of Mark Swans successful meIodrama
of the southland. Among the interest
ing scenes are the cotton pickers. the
southern darkies at play, the hand-to-
hand fight in the dead of night; the
blowing up of the houseboat on the
river and the discovery of Patches
true identity. Director AL Green es-
corted a special company of Selig
players to the Southland and the
scenes called for in the story are
produced true to life. Vivian Reed,
the Girl-with- the million dollar smile,
stars in the character role of Patches.

scenic effects are striking in every

The battle of Kings Mountain

pens made his second invasion of
North Carolina a desperate enter
prise; the battle of Guilford Court
House transferred the American
army into pursuers, the British into
fugitives. By these exploits the
war was nearly brought to a close.
Without succor from Congress,
Marion, Sumter, Horny; Pickens, and
others, at the head of unframed and
unpaid gentlemen, achieved deeds
and successes, which in other lands
more careful of chronicles, and
more habituated to record achieve
ments, would have been the theme
of inspiration for romance or verse
or history.
Greg, the English historian, says:
"The South Carolinians possessed a
class of gentlemen well qualified by
open air life, by frequent. journeys
on horseback, their love of = field
sport, their keen sense of honor and
personal dignity, and above all by
their daily habit of command, which
belonged to their position as plan
ters, personally directing the labor
of a dozen, score or a hundred
slaves, to organize, lead, and dis.
cipline the splendid raw material
of soldiership, found among the far
mers, graziers and backwoodsmen."
It is unfortunate that the habits
of life, of the Southern people and
their contempt for vain-glory, love
of money and mercenary services,
prevented any adequate preserva-
ton of the materials of such a his.

to record, and to save, these South
ern States have suffered in failing
to receive the bounties and pensions

properly due to them.

the immortality of. African slavery
until it ceased to be profitable, and
the North did not finally determine
to destroy the system until convinced
that it threatened not only their in
dustrial independence, but their po-
litical supremacy"
Henry Cabot Lodge, in his. Life of
Daniel Webster, says: ut was prob
ably necessary, at all events MIR.
Webster felt it to be so, to argue
that the Constitution at the outset
was not a compact between the
States, but a national instrument,
and to distinguish the cases of Vir-
ginia and Kentucky in 1899, and of
New England in 1914, from that of
South Carolina in 1880. -. Un-
fortunately the facts were against
him in both instances. When the
Constitution was adopted by the
voters of State at Philadelphia, and
accepted by the votes of States in
popular conventions, it is safe to
say, that there was not man In
the country, from Washington tnd
Hamilton on the one side, to George
Clinton and George Mason on the
other, who regarded the new sys:
tenn as anything but an experiment
entered upon by the States, and
from which each and every State
had the right peaceably to with
draw, right which was very likely
to be exercised"

Mass, in 1861, said, that the States
who think their peculiar institutions

ton without appealing to you or to

Sides"
Writing to q committee of New
York lawyers in 1851, Mr.. Webster
said: "In the North the purpose of
over-turning the government, shows
itself more clearly in resolutions
agreed to, in voluntary assemblies
of individuals, denouncing the laws
of the land, and declaring a fixed in
tent to disobey them. l notice that
in one of these meetings, holden
lately in the very heart of New Eng
land, and said to have been very
numerously attended, the members
unanimously resolved, THAT as God
is our helper we will not suffer any
person charged with being a, fugi-
tive from labor, to be taken from
among us, and to this resolve we
pledge our lives, our fortunes, and
our sacred honor These persons
do not seem to have been aware,
that the purpose thus avowed by
them, is distinctly reasonable: If
any law Of the land be resisted by
force of numbers, with declared
intent, to resist the applications Of
that law in all cases, this is levying
war against the government, within
the meaning of the Constitution,
and is an act of treason, drawing
after it all consequences of that
offense.' He conjured his fellow
citizens s'to reject all such ideas, as
that disobedience to the laws, is the
path of patriotism, or treason to
your country, duty to God"
These quotations show that GER
tain of the Northern States, under
took to withdraw from the Union
and form q Confederacy, and would
have carried their intention into
full execution, if the conditions Civ
ing rise to their action, had not
ceased to exist. They showed that
they reserved the right to secede
whenever they saw fit, but were not
willing for the South to exercise a
similar right.
They were morally bound by the
construction, which they themselves
placed upon the Constitution; and
in good conscience were estopped
from denying to the South, the right
to accept the North's construction
of that instrument.
History shows that the South took
the leading part in the war for
American independence.

cne might say-as if baby were

demand pen and ink to put down his
expressions" l'...s.s.g ..s..
In 1890 the white male popula-
ton over sixteen years of age in
Pennsylvania and Virginia, was
about the. same, the former being
110,788 and the latter 10, ,934. and
yet according to the official estimate
presented to the first Congress by
the Secretary of War; General
Henry Knox, of Massachusetts,,
Pennsylvania furnished 34,965 and
Virginia 56,721. New Hampshire
had a military population 513 larger
than South Carolina, and she con-
tributed 14,906 soldiers, and South
Carolina 31,131. The latter quota
is nearly equal to that of Pennsyl-
vania, which had triple the military
population, and twice the total popu-
lation, free and slave. South Caro-
lima furnished 1888 troops more
than New York, although New York
had much more than double the
military population, and forty per
cent more of total population. Con-
necticut and Massachusetts, did
more than any Of the States, not
Southern, and yet South Carolina,
sent to its armies 81 per cent. OF
every AZ citizens capable of bearing
arms; Massachusetts sent 80; Con-
necticut 80; and New Hampshire IL.
. At the North nearly every man
who served was entered on the rolls,
while as General Knox says, "in
some years of the greatest exertion
of the Southern States, there are
no returns whatever of the militia"
Generally, at the North the war
assumed regular character; at the
South it was brought home to every
fireside; and there was scarcely a
man who did not sholder his musket;
even though not regularly in the
field. Again, while sending troops
freely to defend any part of the
country, the South fought, in very
large degree, its own battles, and the
losses sustained in supporting this
home conflict, were exceedingly
heavy.
According to General Knox's re-
port, the North sent to the army
100 men for every 227 of military
age as shown by the census Of 1870,
and the South 100 for every 209. In
1848 one out of every 62 Of the
men Of military age in 1870 was q
Revolutionary pensioner, and one
