The Executive Committee of the Centennial was represented by a number of gentlemen and the.y with every one one at the banquet expressed themselves delighted with the reception. It is sate to ay that Lumberton got an adver tisement, on the occasion which will greatly benefit her. In the person of Col.

The old preacher began to think that he had lost his rabbit's foot, and he again described, if possible, Heav en to be more beautiful and the infernal regions more to be feared . But"yet not a negro came. The old preacher was very much moved. It appeared as if he was about to lose his reputation, and, worse than all, his grub, for that depend ed upon his success in this line. A happy thought struck him: "Now, brethren, I wish to tell you that this is surely in the lids of the Bible. I will not pretend to tell you the book, the chapter or the verse, but I tell you breth ren, it is surely there, and that is, that not a watermelon grows in hell." The' immediately rushed to the altar by the hundreds and exclaimed.excitedly, "Pray for us, brudder, pray for us. Keep us from the land where the water melon don't grow. We can stand that extreme heat, the sulphur, the scorpions and everything else,Jbut pray for us, Oh ! pray for us, and keep us from the laiul where the watermelon don't grow."

Every school boy can tell you of the Boston tea party, but how few can tell you of the act in Wilming ton, in our Southern land! The battle of Alamance, where the first blood of the revolution was shed, was in 1771.

And since that time remember that West Virginia has been born out of Old Virginia. By what means,' and in what way, T will not state at this time. Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, correctly de fined it, but I will not state it now. About 1700 the very land on which the national capitol stands was ceded to the general govern ment by the Southern States of Maryland and Virginia. In about 1803 the great territory known as Louisiana was purchased from France under the administration of Jefferson, a Southerner. By this purchase we acquired the mouth of the Mississippi and all of that great river, and from the soi then obtained there sprung into life, in whole or a part, the great States of Louisiana, Missouri Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebras ka, (the. home of the hero of the day, William Jennings Bryai-) Colorado, North and South Dakota Montana, Wyoming and the Ten-i tory of Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory; by which purchase Ave be came one ot tne greatest nations of the earth. Napoleon saitl when the purchase was made: "T have-given to Eng land a maritime rival that sooner or later will humble her pride." In 1821 we acquired the lovely land of Florida under the admin- also commenced the birth of the new government by writing a let ter to the Governor of each of the States requesting them to meet in convention to form a better and stronger government for their country. Madison, a Southerner, was the father of the Constitution, and all the great amendments to the Constitution that specially protect life, liberty and property were inserted under the influence of the same Jefferson, a South erner. Marshall, a Southerner, construed the Constitution. Our flag which once floated on every navigable lake, river and ocean in the civilized world, the loveliest flag that God's sun e'er shone on, was designed by Reed, a South erner, and the "Star Spangled Banner" was written by Francis S. Key. another Southerner. In the war of 1812 all was gloom, un til there appeared inhe northern .skies a rainbow on wnicn was written: Win field Scott, a South erner, nas wnippeti at tne point oi ,the bayonet at London's Lane, the very troops that conquered Napo- J.

Again I hear some say, "Why were you not rebels?" Well, again for the ake ot argument, suppose we were. Are we asiiamed to Dear the name thatWashington, Henry, Jefferson, Light' Horse Harry Lee, and the Northern men, Benjamin Franklin, -Alexander Hamilton, Green and Mad Anthony Wayne bore? Were it not for rebels we would not have this glorious Union. Were it not for rebels we would not now have our magnifi cent Constitution the most precious gift ere yet bequeathed from sire to son. Were it not for rebels the Magna Charta would never have been extorted irom King John at Runnymede. Al liberty sprung originally from acts of rebels.
