Where Was the Battle of
Kings Mountain Fought 2
10 the Rditer of Tha star;

To the Editor of The Star;
I have Just read In your issue Of
August % Mr.. A. S. L,anier's repetition
of the old and oft diSproved statement
that the battle Of Kings Mountain was
fought in North Carolina.
subject, May 5, 1905, the Hon. Il. q.
lima, said:
1.-The principal peak Is something like
five miles from the ridge on which the
battle was fought, the battle ridge being
about 500 yards long and 200 yards
wide and being quite over the North
Carolina line, in York County, South
Carolina"
But the convincing and official evil
dence for the location of the battle
ground in South Carolina is in the
book issued by the historical section Of
the Array War Department, entitled
Historical Statements Concerning the
tie of Cowpens," It IL issued by au-
thority Of Congress, and Mr.. Lanisr
may procure free copy.
Part w contains discussion Of the
location in question, as follows:
There never has been any. uncer-
tainty as TO the actual location of the
ground on which the Battle of Kings
Mountain was fought, but due to the
defects and limitations in early maps
the battle has frequently been described
as occurring in North Caroline. Many
OF the early maps show King Mountain
north Of the boundary line, with none
of the mountain symbols extending into
South Carolina. AS q result the battle
was accredited to North Carolina. In
1TT2 portion of the boundary be-
tween the two Carolinas was surveyed
from the Catawba River westwardly.
The origin of this portion of the bound
airy was the center of the junction Of
the Catawba and the South Fork OF
the Catawba."
After reference TO other surveys and
maps and subsequent corrections, the
chapter concludes with these words:
AN inspection of the Kings Noun
tain quadrangle will show that the bat
tie grpund Is much farther south, hence
had the line been run due west, as was
intended, the battle ground would
nevertheless lie within the borders Of
South Carolina"
An off1cer of the historical section
of the War Department, in speaking of
this battle ground as located in south
Carolina, recently said: This Is no

The Federal Obligation.

Any intimation that the District is
willing to accept an increase In It's tax
burden in exchange for paltry addi-
ton Of some half million dollars to
the inadequate lump sum is too absurd
10 consider as q serious proposal. No
such preposterous bargain could enter
the head of any one acquainted with
fundamental principles in the citys
long fight for fair treatment from Con-
sress In financing the Capital This
fght has been based on the fact, OBJ
vious to everybody, that the Federal
Government is not living up TO its law
flii and self-impossd obligations in ap-
pFepriating for the Federal City. Let
the Federal Government determine
anew, II need be, and by any method it
chooses, the extent of its own obliga-
tions. Let the Federal Government APP
propriate its full and fair share Of Cap
ital expenses. Then the question OF
increasing the local tax rate can be aR-
preached from the angles Of iustifea-
ten and necessity and discussed intel
ligently.
Budget policy demands, In the case OF
the District, q presumption on paper as
70 the sources of revenue that Congress
will appropriate in meeting District ex-
penses. Why this should be SO, when
Congress reserves to itself, and to itseli
alone, the decision as to the amount Of
appropriations as well IS the division
Of expenses, Is another matter. But a.
the District budget for 1882, approved
BY the Commissioners, exceeds the
money that can be raised by $l.70 taS
rate and q $s,50o,600 lump sum, the
Commissioners have based reYenus
availability on a $3.50 tax rate and q
sIo,0oO.0OO lump sum.
Their action, of course, is warning
that local taxes viii so up again unless
Congress adequately increases is con-
trihution. The $lo,ooo,o0o set down a.
representing the Federal contribution ID
based on nothing more tangible than q
hope that the Budget Bureau viii APP

expenditures. The previous years ex-

legation of the Federal Government.
The Commissioners, after iustifyine
their recommended expenditures before
the Budget Bureau in hearings In Oc-
taher. should be prepared to champion
vigorously the Districts cause, demand
ing as authorized spokesman for the

munity the lawful assumption Of Fed

There is no beauty to compare with

AL its beauty cannot be seen by the

there are centuries of learning depicted
and to be read within its walls. Every

study you md yourself being educated
up to the highest standard of litera-

velops you. The delicate celoring Of
innate love of beauty. ON the tablets
on the ceiling you read the familiar
names OF Moses, Whitman, Goethe,
Homer, Shakespeare, Milton Long,
fellow, Shelley, Aristotle, Hugo, Byron,
Tennyson and many others.
Only by hours of contemplation can
the real mystic meaning permeate your
soul and sink deep into your mind; q
real appreciation and understanding
come to dwell in your heart and be-
come part Of your growth.
All around you, everything you see
and touch was once mere thought and

The marble, which was onee buried,
