Editor Daily Item.
The l7th Of this month is set
aside as Constitution Day" The
recently enfranchised women are
making this fact widely known. 1t
would seem that South Carolina
would manifest an interest in such
an occasion far exceeding that Of
any other state, if one did not
know her peculiar Indifference to
every item Of her important his
tory. 1t is plain that one of the
main questions to be discussed in
many parts Of .tbc lifted States
by men and women Of the high
est order Of intelligence and patri-
otic purpose, will be the authorship
of the constitution and in this con-
neetion only two names VIII require
serious consideration, as to claim
on that great honor and one Of
these is a South Caroiinian, Chas.
Pinckney, and the other a Virgin
ian, James, Madison. If there is
single instance where Virginia has
neglected one OF her great names,
I have never seen it nor heard OF
it. There is nothing, surer than
that Virginia's care and South Car
olina's carelessness over the au-
thorship Of this grand paper will
be conspicuous on Constitution
Day"
shall be surprised indeed if any
serious effort is made in South
Carolina to a claim to this superb
work, which nigh authorities in
many parts of the Union are max
ing for her at this very time. I re-
ceived complimentary copy Of a
book entitled 1.-The Mystery of the

was informed then that the

was going on in South Carolina.
was so out of health just then I
could not take any part in bring
ing public attention to it, but it is
certainly a claim that is supported
By many interesting facts and argu-
ments of great logical force can be
presented to sustain it. 7 most
earnestly wish for thorough in
vestigation and discussion of this
question in the coming celebra-
ton of Constitution Day.
