there met an old gentleman, who's,
name he gave, who had showed he
the press of the great seal Of tn,
Confederacy. Mr.. Salley sent tn,
letter to one of the Richmond trio
who had bought the seal and sug.
gested that the original but long lost
ptess might be obtained by commu
'nication with its owner in Bermuda
MIR Sailey received reply stating
that the recipient of his letter was
about to start for Europe on triI
for his health, but would leave the
matter in the hands of his two as,
sociates in the purchase of the seal
who would post Mr.. Salley as to their
action, but nothing was ever heard
from them.
Some time ago DR.. J.F Jameson
director Of the department of hlstori-
cal research of Carnegie institution
wrote to Mr.. Salley that he was about
to send two investigators to Bermuda
to make researches and asked him if
there were particular matters he de-
sired exploited III his lines Of re-
search. Among the matters of inter
est to Mr.. Salley which he desired
looked into was this one of the long
lost press Of the great seal of the Con-
federacy. As result Mr.. Salley has
just received letter from Dr.. Jane
son telling him that his agents had
located the press. They also sent
photographs Of it which will b. used
to induce deyotees to the Confederate
cause to procure the press and place
it with the seal in the Confederate
museum. The owner of the press says
that some years after the war he
bought it from a Mr.. Bourne, who
haG acted as Confederate consul,
agent for the Cunard Steamship Com
pony and agent for blockade runners
in Bermuda during the war. Need
in press in his business, he bought
this one and had his own seal fitted
to it. Finding the name OF j. S.
Wyon, of London, on the press, he
wrote to Mr.. Wyon. who replied that
from the description he had given he
undoubtedly had come into the pos
session of the press of the great seal
Of the Confederacy which had been
lost in Bermuda in 1864 and when he
(Wyon) had made. Our Bermuda
citizen then procured through a
friend in Richmond, drawing of the
seal and from that drawing had the
private seal which he subsequently
used on the press made thereto. The
owner of the press has several times
refused to sell it, but since learning
where the seal is now located seems
willing to sell it if assured that it will
be placed with the seal.

SPEECH OF J. F. BYRNES
OF SOUTH CAROLINA
IN The House Of Representatives on
''The Futility of The War inves-
y - igation."

Speaking to his resolution in the
HOUSE providing for the appointment
of committee to Investigate the ex-
penditures of the House Select War
Investigating Committee, of which
Representative Graham, of Illinois,
is Chairman, Representative Byrnes
said that when, during the closing
days Of the Sixty-fifth Congress, Re-
publicans in the Senate filibustered
the annual appropriation bills to
death, their declared purpose was to
force the President 20 call an extra
session Of Congress in order that they
might begin their program of recon-
struction legislation.
In response to the call of the Presi-
dent, Congress convened May 19.1919.
"a year has now passed." said Mr..
Byrnes, "and Congress, instead Of en-
acting any legislation Of a construcs-
i've nature, has devoted it's time to
the prosecution Of series of political
Investigations which for futility and
extravaganza are unparalleled In the
history of the country. Congress has
not only wasted year, but has vast
ed more than million dollars Of the
peoples money. Through the favor
of these committees, many highly
paid parasites have fased themselves
on the payroll Of the Government, and
unless the House takes some action,
March 4, next. will find them still
drawing their. excessive salaries.
Some of these committees have not
made report. At least one has
never entered upon the specific in
vestigation it was directed to make" :"
Justifying his resolution for an in
vestigation of the expenditures of
the investigating committee, Mr..
Byrnes said: "Let me call your at
tention to the fact that more than
fifty Investigations have been author
lied by this Congress, covering every
activity of the Government during
the Democratic administration. The
business of every executive deparr-
ment has been interfered with. Wit
nesses have been summoned, at the
expense of the taxpayers, from every
section of the country. The Senate
has conducted as many, or more, in.
vestigations as has the House. Whnt
they have cost do not know and can
not comment upon =
when We recall that these COM
mittees Of the House were appointed
to investigate the alleged extrava-
gances in the executive departments,
il is interesting, but depressing, to
examine the statement of their own
expenditures contained in the hear
ings upon the second Deficiency Ap-
preparation blu. A few instances will

HISTORY IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

This year, 1920 is the fifth semi
centennial of the first permanent set
tiement by white men on the soil of
South Carolina. How many public
schools and colleges in the State have
taken note of it? College commence
ments and school closings are about
to begin-which of them will COM
memorate the founding of the colony
at Charles Town" Who is teaching
history in South Carolina? How is it
taught? Are there any who think
that the history of South Carolina is
not worth teaching?
This is taken from the Columbia
State and it is the most sensible thing
we have seen in that newspaper for a
long time. There are a good many
teachers of history in South Carolina.
They are to be found in all tie insti-
tutions Of the first order, such as
Wofford College, for instance, and in
The South Carolina University at Co
lumbia. Dr., Wallace and DR.. Enow-
den are deeply interested il their
work and know how, and there are
other teachers of history in other
schools who have not forgotten the
beginnings. But how is history gem
orally taught in our schools and col
leges? What Histories" are taught
Who wrote them, and for what pur-
pose were they written To establish
theories, eXalt sections, create heroes
magnify movements or to tell the
truth? There are "Historics." So
called, almost without number; but
We know so little about ourselves and
the not negligible part we have played
in the building not only of South
Carolina but of the American Com
monwealth.
What difference does it make to us
who made the first permanent settle
ment in South Carolina? Who cares
anything about the founding cf the
colony at Charles Town? What has
anything like that to do with the
things of passing interest that con-
Germ the people of the day? How
many people ii Laurens County, for
example, know why Waterloo" in
that County is named Waterloo! Who
is there in Spartanburg County who
knows anything about the ride of Mrs.
Thomas when she was carrying mes
sages to patriot camps when we were
fighting the British and the Tories?
We know all about Bunker Hill, and
Concord and Lexington and Ticon-
deroga and Saroaga Springs; but
there are hundreds of students in the
State who could not tell anything
about Eutaw Springs and Hobkirk
Hill and the sharp fighting on Law
sons Fork in the days of old ard just
to the extent that we have permitted
ourselves to be submerged have we
been forgotten as having had any part
or lot in the building of this great
Republic, as it used to be called: Ma
ton as it is known today.
We wish The State would keep on
playing its historic string. The XII

mig to take notice of the things
about us, and has determiped to Of

the best essays on certain historical
and other subjects, with the idea of

the legal work, in addition to employ
ing counsel, they paid another gentle.
man for preparing a law brief"
"Then there is the Ansell sub-com-
mittee," said Mr.. Byrnes. 81 refer to
is as the Ansell subcommittee be-
cause the two Republican members Of
the committee adopted a resolution
authorizing General Ansell to conduct
the hearings in the absence of any
member of the committee, and the
general has doubtless had splendid
time summoning and cross-examin-
ing the officers of the service with
which he was formerly connected
General Ansell was in the War De-
partment at a salary of $4,550, PEI
year when he resigned on July 81,
1919. "On the next day." said Mr..
Byrnes, che was employed by the
committee at salary Of $4,000 a
year and expenses. and was furnished
secretary"
Of the work of this committee, Mr..
Byrnes said: "This committee was
charged with the duty of investigat-
ing foreign expenditures. To date,
have noticed that they were investi-
batting the court-martial system. the
condition Of the jails in Paris, the
strategy OF the army in continuing 20
fight on Armistiee day, and many
other interesting subjects, but I fear
they will never get down TO foreign
expenditures before March f."
Mr.. Byrnes told how the Shipping
Board Investigating committee jour
neyed to the coast in q private car,
and though only three members made
the trip, and the party did not number
more than eight, they had to pay $50
day for the car and to secure it had
to buy twenty-five tickets. "The
dignity of the House was preserved,
but do not know what effect it had
upon the officials of the Department
whose extrayagances were investigat-
ed. One of this committees account
ants received pay at the rate of $50
day and expenses, and his expense
account for four days was $193.7s,
(which, he said, "even in these days
of H. c. L. is liberal expense ac-
count for man investigating the ex-
travagances of army officers who,
when away from headquarters, re-
ceive no allowance for expenses other
than mileage"
When the Investigations were pco.
posed, said Mr.. Byrnes, the Chairman
Of the Republican Congressional Com
mittee said they "would be made" to
secure facts as groundwork for
needed relief legislation the immed-
late future" A year has passed, and I
challenge you to point to any relief
legislation that has been proposed,
much less enacted into law. That
this was but hollow pretense and
that their true purpose was to en-
deavor to secure material for the COM
ing campaign was early evidenced by
the conduct of the Investigations. Oh,
how hopeful you were! How you long,
ed for theft"
Mr.. Byrnes challenged the COM
mittee to summon General Pershing
and "learn from him that which y0l
do not seem to know-that we won
the war;.
You have had year in which to
investigate. You have discovered no
fraud, and you owe it to the taxpayers
OF America to put an end to your ex-
travagant expenditures before you re-
cess or adjourn. Put up or shut up!"
declared Mr.. Byrnes in concluding.
