HONOR is SOUTH cARoLINA'S
In Tset State Lafayette Landed
House Where He Was Enter

On the Waccanaw river, in South
Carolina, far back on commanding
eminence, with acres of rice land and
pine forests stretching away ON every
hand, stands a notable relic of Colonial
and Revolutionary days-"Prospect

Huger pronounced U-geel. an Ameri-

1t was here. say the Seattle POST
Intelligencer, that the Marquis de La
fayette spent his first night in Ameri-

the mouth of Winyaw bay. He was
met by the owner Of prospect Ill.,"
and was conveyed In rowhoat pro-
PEELED by negro oarsmen In livery to
his destination, where a grand recep-
ton was given in his honor.
The mansion was brilliantly lighted
and adorned with flags, and noted
guests from the country around were
gathered to welcome the distinguished
son of France.
Mrs. Maria Freeman Roberts of Sc
attic visited the locality few years
ago. Recalling her experiences, she
says:
I'VE steamed down the river from
old Georgetown one fine morning in
February. Long before we reached the
Prospect Hilp landing the noted old
mansion came into view.
"A broad path led up the terrace
slope, by which we easily made our
way. Half way up was resting spot
with wooden seats; and an old-fash-
Toned sun dial. On every hand were
evidences of former beautiful grounds,
laid out in geometricai patterns where
rare plants and shrubs had once flour
ished, but now oyerrun with weeds
and tall grass.
THE building, although grown gray
and sadly dilapldated-only a totter-
ing reminder of its former grandeur
had yet an air of stateliness and its
broad hallway and spacious chambers
still held some rare pieces Of old Chip
pendale.
"On the walls Of the drawing room
hung a few quaint pictures. and serv-
eral old portraits. among them enc Of

premises is a lineal descendant.

How Bell Was. Saved
When Howe Advanced
on the Quaker City.
BY Or. Howard S. Taylor.

On September IL. 1777. warm,
bright day, the people of Philadelphia
stood around In the streets listening to
the faint sounds of cannon firing down
on Brandywine creek, about twenty
five miles away.
They knew that great battle was
going on between the American army
under Washington and the British,
commanded by General Howe.
And the Philadelphians listened to
the booming of the distant guns with
passlonately divided feelings.
There We're many Tories living in
the city who were devoted to the Brit
ish cause and hoped that Howe might
triumph.
There We're also many devout Quak-
ers in those listening crowds who con-
scientiously abhorred war--ultra paci-
fists who thought that the Americans
had no business to fight even IN de-
Tense Of their liberties.
But large part of the population
of Philadelphia were patriots who had
gotten the Declaration of Independence
into their hearts at its first proclama-
ton two months previously, and were
praying for Washington and his
ragged Contlnenta!s.'
Sad News for Patriots.
The noise of battle commenced about
10 O'clock in the forenoon, but by night
fail the sounds ceased, and few
hours afterward the Philadelphlans
learned that the Americans had met
with heavy losses, had been defeated
and were retreating before a we'll
equipped army of invasion which out
numbered the patriot forces about two
to one.
Washington managed to reconcen-
trate his troops and slowly fell back
on Philadelphia-skir when
ever opportunity offered.
But Philadelphia was doomed to fall
into the hands of the enemy. and Al
exander Hamilton advised congress 10
pack and get out. On September IS
that body made hasty adjournment,
to meet again at Lancaster, sixty-eight
miles away, and left Philadelphia that
night.
But before they adjourned they took
q thought about the Liberty Bell
Congress determined to save the bell
If possible
1t was not a matter of mere senti-
ment. The bell was comparatively new
then, and there were few sacred men,
cries clingiDg around it. The resolu-
ton of congress Included some church
bells in the city also. In fact, con-
gress regarded the bells as just so
much metal which the British might
break up and cast into cannon.

So the bells were ordered to retreat
to a place Of safety at Allentown, fif-
