THE KINGS MOUNTAIN CENTENNIAL
An Account of the Exercises Attendant Upon the
Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary
of the Famous Battle.
Reprinted from Frank Leslie’s lllgstratedNerrapspei'ol October 30,1880.
The celebration of the one hun
dredth anniversary of the battle of
Kings Mountain began on the battle
ground on Tuesday. October 5th.
The following military companies
were encamped on the grounds, Tues
day: Richmond Howitzers, from
Richmond, Va.; Cleveland Guard,
from Shelby, N. C.; Jenkins Rifles,
from Yorkvllle, S. C.; Kings Moun
tain Military School Cadets, from
Kings Mountain, N. C. Late in the
afternooou there arrived the Salis
bury Rifles, from Salisbury, N. C.,
and the Carolina Military School Ca
dets, from Charlotte, N. C., under
charge or Captain 0. W. Evans, of
the United States Army. One of the
most important features of the oc
casion was the United States Post
Band, from McPherson Barracks,
who discoursed most excellent music
during the day.
The programme for the first day
was the reunion of States. There
were about 3,000 people on the
grounds, half of whom attended the
speaking. The speakers' stand was
in the form of an amphitheatre,
with standards bearing the initials
of the original thirteen States. On
the stand were seated the speakers
of the day, the executive committee
of the Centennial Association, com
manding officers of the different mil
itary companies, reporters and othei
prominent men.
The ceremonies were opened with
prayer by the Rev. Ellison Caper;
Governor Jeter, of South Carolina,
_ zrt_a_1 An thn
conclusion of his remarks, introduc
ed the other speakers in the follow
ing order: Judge Daniel G. Fowle, of
North Carolina: Judge T. N. Van
Dyke, of Tennessee; Rev. David E.
Butler, of Georgia; Hon. S. W. Wil
liams, of Arkansas, and J. M. Mc
Neal, of Mississippi.
Colonel Coward said he thought
he would be doing Injustice to the
States pot represented on this occas
ion if some allusion were not made
about the gallant part they perform
ed in freeing our country from Brit
ish tyranny. He then proposed
three cheers for each of the States
of Virginia, New Jersey, Rhode Isl
and, New York and Massachusetts,
which were given with a will. The
ceremonies of the day were then an
nounced as closed, and the audience
dispersed while the band played
"Yankee Doodle."
On Wednesday a dress parade, un.
der the command of General Hunt
of the United States Army, was held
at 12 o’clock. The balance of the
day was spent by the multitudes In
roaming over the battleground look
ing at the curiosities and searching
for vellcs. At the foot of the hill Is
a rude monument, placed there years
ago to commemorate the battle. On
It is an inscription stating that Colo
nel Ferguson was here slain, and
giving the names of some of the
American officers killed. About hall
way up the hill Is a sign marking
the spot on which Ferguson fell.
The Relic House wps a point of con
siderable Interest. Among the relics
on exhibition were a wooden can
teen and sword used by Benjamin
Ormand in the battle- The sword is
apparently nome-maoe, wun in<
words "Victory or Death" etched on
the blade. There Is also etched on
the blade several arrows (hooting
out of a cloud toward* a crowd. Also
a Bible printed In 1789, owned by
the same man, and taken from him
by the Tories; a piece of epaulet;
piece of shoe-buckle and knee-buok
le worn by Colonel Joe McDowell;
watch-chain dug from Ferguson's
grave; sword captured 1n the battle;
powder-horn used In the battle, ant
a sword, complete the list. The 'lat
ter Is worthy of special notice. It is
a fine Toledo blade, and has engrav
ed on the reverse side the span 1st
motto, "No me enbaines shi honor,’
which is translated, “Sheathe me noi
without honor;” on the pbversp
“No me saques sin rasou"—“Dray
me not without reason.”- Tennessee
through her Historic*! Society, reP
resented by Mr- S. A. Cunningham, <
commissioner, furnished for the en
tertalnment of visitor* to the cetebn
tion the sash worn by Ferguson h
the battle of Kings Mountain, thi
sword worn by Colonel Du PUyster
who finally surrendered the Britts!
forces, and the elegant dress swon
presented by North Carolina to Col
onel John Sevier for gallantry |i
that battle.
On Thursday, which way the anni
versary day proper, there waB a ver;
large concourse of people. The e*
ercises began with a national saint
at sunrise by the Richmond (Va.
Howitzers, and at 10 a. m. a revlei
of all the troops was held by Oener
al Hunt, of the United States Army
after which the large assemblage
crowded around the speakers' stand
which had been erected in one of the
ravines whioh led down the side oi
the mountain. Seats had been pro
vided for five hunderd people on the
stand, and these, with the seats on
the side of the mountain for the aud
ience, formed one vast amphitheatre.
A lyric, written by Mrs. Clara Dar
gan (McLean, of Yorkvllle, S. C., and
set to music by Professor E. W. Line
back, of Salem, N. C., was sung by an
improvised choir with fine effect, led
by the Fifth United States Artillery
Band. The rostrum was decorated
by one immense United States flag
and others representing the thirteei
original States. After this came the
reading of an ode written for the oc
casion by Paul H. Hayne, of South
Carolina. The reader was Colonel
Charles C. Jones, of Augusta, Ga.
Hon. John W. Daniel then delivered
the oration, which was universally
pronounced to he a magnificent ef
fort. After the speaking a proces
sion was formed and marched to the
monument, a few hundred yards dis
tant, and the ceremony of unveiling
It was conducted by four young la
dles, supported by Governor^ Jarvle
of North Carolina, Holliday of Vir
ginia, Jeter of South Carolina, and
General Campbell of Tennessee, the
vast audience singing the Doxology.
The Eutaw flag, the Hornet’s Rifle
men's flag, and the flag of the Char
lotte Grays were brought upon the
stand and kept there during the ex
ercises. At 6 o’clock a dress, parade
was held, and at night the ceremon
iea were concluded by a grand pyro
technic display. .
In May last year the people of the
village of Kings Mountain formed a
"Kings Mountain Centennial. Associ
ation,” with Colonel Asbury Coward,
of Yorkvllle, S. C., as president. The
Legislatures of North and South
Carolina were memorialized, and last
winter they appropriated $2,500 for,
the erection of a monument. Six
hundred dollars was raised by indi
vidual subscription, and the work
was begun. The massive column as
It lifts its head above the summit of
the mountain impresses the beholder
with the Idea of substantial work
manship and durability combined
with symmetry of form. It presents
rather an unfinished and bald appear
ance, and seems to be lacking in ap
propriate ornamentation. The base
and pile are of solid gray granite,
hewn out of a quarry in York Coun
ty, only six miles distant. The stone
Is fine-grained and of the very best
quality, being similar to that o!
which the Capitol building hi Col
umbia, S. C.t fa constructed. The
shaft rises In pyramid form to e
height of twenty-nine feet. On one
side there is a beautiful tablet ol
snow-white Vermont marble. Upon
thiB tablet are engraved all the
names of the Americans who fell it
the battle. Only twenty-eight name?
appear on the slab now, but when
others axe obtained by the commit
tee they will be added, so as to make
the record complete. When ooanplet
ed It will be surmounted bjsa bronze
figure of heroic size of a Southern
soldier of one hundred years ago,
clad in the garb of a frontiersman
and holding In hta hand a long rifle,
which he fa busy loading while he
ascends the mountain,

FOR THE TEACHERS.
Womans' Betterment Association
Gives Reception at Central School
—A Delightful Affair.
Gastonia’s graded schcool teach
ers were complimented Friday even
ing with a delightful reception given
at the Central school building by the
Gastonia Woman’s Betterment Asso
ciation. From three to four hundred
t'astonlans were present to enjoy the
hospitality of these good women who
'eft no stone unturned to make it a
pleasant affair.
At the entrance to the building
containing the auditorium the guests
were greeted by Mrs. J. K. Dixon,
Mrs. A. M. Smyre, Mrs. J. D. Moore
and Mrs. A. F. Whitesides. They
were then conducted Into the lobby
where they were presented to the re
ceiving line which was composed of
the members of the school faculty,
twenty-three in number, and Mes
dames A. A. McLean, W. J. Clifford,
R. C. Warren and R. M. Johnston,
officers of the association.
The guests were then conducted
to one of the class rooms on the left
where punch was served by Mrs. R.
C. Anderson, Mrs. W. H. Reddish,
Mrs. J. C. Galloway. Mrs. B. F. Or
rnand, Mrs. D. M. Jones and others.
The guests then repaired to the
main auditorium where an interest
ing program, consisting of short ad
dresses and musical selections, was
rendered. The first number on the
program was an instrumental solo
by Miss Annie Latimer, following
which Dr. D. E. McConnell, of the
board of school commissioners,
mfcde <a witty and entertaining ad
dress of welcome to the teachers. To
this Supt. Joe S. Wray responded In
his usual happy manner. Col. C. B.
Armstrong, Mr. A.M. Smyre and Rev.
John" Hall followed with brief and
appropriate speeches, all of them
heard with Interest and attention.
The Moore quartet, composed of
Km \1 nrv Moore Morrow. Mrs. T. A.
Norment, Mrs. H. B. Moore and Miss
Polly Fry then delighted the audi
ence with a selection, this being fol
lowed by a violin selection by Miss
Lillian Atkins, with piano accompan
iment by Mrs. K. J. Sifford, vocal so-'
los by Mrs. L. L. .Hardin and Miss
Pollv Fry, and an Instrumental solo
by Miss Latimer, the entire pro
gram was well rendered and well re
ceived. Before and after, the pro
gram there was opportunity for so
cial converse, the new teachers meet
Ing many Gastonlana. The whole,
affair was such as to dispel any pos
sible doubt in the minds of the teach
ers as to their weloome to Gastonia.
Snow on the St. Bernard.
St. Nicholas.
At present the monastery of St,.
Bernard costs about $9,000 a year to
keep up. This money is partly col
lected In Switierland and partly de
rived from the revenue of the mon
astic order.
In the middle ages the monastery
was stripped of all its wealth, though
It still continued and continual to
this day to carry out the work of St.
Bernard. . , .
Over 30,000 travelers pass this
way every year, and hundreds of
these at least would lose their lives
were It not for the guardians of the
mountain. When the first heavy
snows come In September the paths
are marked with posts 20 feet high.
But these soon disappear, and othei.
posts are fixed on top of them, and
so on. Soon the winter paths lead
Indifferently over enormous rocks
and burled alpine hute. The great
est danger comes from the furious
gales shifting the snow and making
return impossible.
