,-TH?S. J! ADAMS, PROPRIETOR EDGEFD3LD, S. C., THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1893. VOL. LVni. NO. 7. ------ ' ' -- PATRIOT VS. COLONIST. Tho following is the argumej : ' of a 16 year old Edgefield youl] delivered in an institution < learning not a hundred miles froi Edgefield, on the question : Resolved, That those who fought ft the liberty of America suffered moi hardships than those who colonized i NEGATIVE. F Mr. President, ladies and gentle men, and gentlemen of the Com mittee: X Pernes you may expect an ad < . dress from me robed in the richei of eloquence, such as you bav jr heard from those who preoeede? . me, but let me inform you now ii the beginning that my debate con 8ists not in eloquence, but in un painted and unquestionable facti which occurred during the colon iz?tion of America. Be they ever so dry, I woul< like to have your attention for ai y;;y hour or two, while I relate somi : N of these facts. Let us begin bj saying that: Those who colonized Americi /were the first heroes of our cat ion a history. They conquered alike th? treacherous Indian and the path less wilderness. They explor?e the continent with its endlesi foresta, infested with wild beast* and hostile savages. As they cleared* the land theil huts were their forts, their churchef in which they worshipped were their arsenals; and the peaceful furrow often their grave. Death has little horror to him who fight? in open battle amid the cheers ol y friends and countrymen. Th? sufferings and wounds of the pa triots of the revolution were watched by loving hearts and heal ed by loving hands, while a grate ful people: gave their sympatbieE and prayers. ~ But not so with the early colon ists. They suffered without care Qr sympathy, and died without a requiem. He toiled and resisted .disease and hunger, fought pain wM^^ro^iaih^irih? lonely^Yft?rjfn^ - Sfinth none tc- com/ort him. Yet he :vdi? this anr? murmured not. pl No loving hands tobe thrown ffii&bout his neck, no sympathizing tears to be shed in his behalf, none p^"* to whom he could look for aid. or even for sympathy, he had to struggle against a destiny that ; was continually frowning upon ? ? Those old patriots of the rev > W^. lutiou had all (he things which the ? colonists were iu need of ; even their *r. . first attempts at liberty were suc cessful. In other words the gods appeared to smile upon them from the first. Sir, please note the dif ference between houor and hard ships. Also remember that the point we are trying to carry to night ie not who deserve the most honor, fame, or renown, but who endured the most hardships. Neither are the causes, objects, or purposes aimed at to be taken into consideration. The only meaning of hardship that I can find is "severe labor," "suffering," "that h'"ch is hard to bear," and the "refore, sudden death is not a hu ' ip. Why sir, many men of'the revolution did not know, what hit their patriotic heads. Again sir, their greatest sufferings rosy be fairly compared only with the minor hardships of the colon ization. For instance, the crossing ot the .frozen .Delaware, and the Bufferings at Valley Foge did not equal in severity or^n.; duration the sufferings which' ?tteuded the landing of the Pilgrims, and the winter which followed. Tho Wyoming and Cherry Valley massacres cannot be compared with the "starving time" in Vir j| ginia. My honorable opponents may bring forth the disastrous battles of the Brandywine, Long Island, Germantown, etc., but let me re peat that sudden death is not such a hardship as lingering, hopeless suffering, and the most of men who die in battle die by sudden death. My opponents may say that those old patriots had to fight both English and Indian. In reply I will say that the colonists fought not only the Indian, but also French, Spanish, Hunger, and Dis? ease; while those who fought for liberty, had France, the most pow erful nation on the globe at that time, to help them. The first serious attempt to set tle America, was an unsuccessful effort made by Ribault on the coast of Carolina, then called Florida, wbicii I will describe later. A second expedition led by Lahdonene together with Ribault settled near St. Augustine. Th? Spaniards being jealous of sucl enemies in their vicinity, set tc work and massacred'every one. Ii the meantime Ribault had left th< colony to attack the Spanish fleei on the coast. He failed to fine the enemy he sought, but encoun tered a terrible storm, in which he was shipwrecked. On his returr to Fort Carolina he found th? Spanish flag floating above i te ruins. The Spaniards demanded their surrender, what else could be done? Behind them lay starvation and ceaseless wandering; while before them? Possibly their liv?e might be spared, but not so, they were marched in the fort with hande bound behind them and put to death. The, next attempt was made by Sir Walter Raleigh at Roanoke, ;#a., or rather North Carolina. The colonists in that instance becom ing dissatisfied soon returned home. Greenville who had brought them over, arrived a few days after their departure, and left fifteen men to hold Roanoke, while he re turned to England for a new colony. A new. colony was collected and brought over and on reaching Roanoke they found only the bones of those left by Greenville. They either were massacred or died of starvation. None were left to tell the tale. Before many weeks it was decided to send to Gov. White; for supplias. White being detain ed in England did not return until after two years, but then nothing was to be found of the colony he; had left. What become of these colonists has ever been a mystery to the world. What instances of suffering and hardships can my opponents bring forth which will equal these two cases? The next important attempt to colonize was made at Jamestown,1 Vu. Time. will.not allow m}r going fully into:detail, but you all know" of the numerous and thrilling;ad-! v?ritur^crf-'Capt. John^m?t^^ahcT the famous "starving time," when the colony was reduced by famine; and disease from 500 to 60. Next in course of hardships comes the: first massacre in Virginia, in which the heartless toma-hawk spared neither age nor sex. During this massacre about 350 men, women, and children were treach erously murdered. The very day of the massacre some of the In dians were in the houses, and sit ting at the tables of those whose murder they were plotting, saying, "Sooner shall the skies fall, than peace be violated on our part." The Indians remained at peace for about twenty years, when they again began hostilities, by mur dering 300 men, women, and chil dren. Next on the calendar of colonial sufferings is the landing of the Pilgrims, which happened in mid-winter with the snow on the ground, and the spray of the sea freezing as it fell on their clothes, making them look like a coat of mail. Words cannot express the sufferings of the long and weary winter which followed, when many men died from cold and hunger. The dealing out of the five kernels of corn is known to all. There was only one pint of corn :n the whole colony, and. when it was divided np, amounted to only five grains apiece. Again in the same winter, at one time there were only, seven able to .take care of the sick. .Talk about your Valley Forge. Why, sir, it cannot be com pa ed with the sufferings to which I have barely alluded. During their first winter in the New World, the Ply mouth colony was reduced to 46 souls by famine and disease. Next on the roll comes the Pequod and King Philip wars, with their numerous barbarities, which only the Indian is capable of inflicting upon his enemy. "The wars with the French and Spanish followed, with all . the ^horrors which my opponents may say existed during the revolution. The first of these wars is that of King William, lastiug eight years, then comes Queen Annie's war, lasting eleven years, next comes King George's war, lasting four years. Last but not least comes the Frenoh and Indian war, lasting nine years, making in all 32 years of war. Why, sir, it* the hardships experienced in 32 years of war do not exceed those endured during seven years war, then there is no force or truth in numerical logic. I will now relate a few incidents of cruel sufferings which occurred during oue of .the wars above named. In one case a man was held by a fork over flames till death came to his rescue. As the tongues of fire licked the garments from his limbs one might hear the groans of agony, and see his life blood flowing from his wounds. Oh! horrible sight. I cannot describe it to such a humane au dience. In the other case six men were placed near th? banks of a stream, and an Indian woman walked around them singing a death song, and striking them on the head as she passed. She kept this up till the life was beaten out of their tortured bodies. Such things were of every day occurrence during the whole colonial period of this country. I will now con fine myself exclusively to the col onization of South Carolina. Sir, I will venture to say that our own South Carolinian fore-fathers dur ing their colonial history endured more hardships than all the United States combined during the revo lution. As I have already said, the first attempt to settle South Carolina by Europeans was made by Ribault at Port Royal. He left the colony to return to France for provisions. After his departure the men he had left became dis-, heartened, built a small ship and determined to return home. After enduring many hardships at sea they were picked up by an EogliBh ship. While at sea they were about to starve, and after eating all their sole leather they cast lots to see which one should be killed and eaten by the others. The one on whom the lot fell submitted to his fate like the hero that he waB. In the year 1670 a few settlers under Gov. Sayle landed in the vicinity of Port Royal. They found them selves beset on every side by fierce savages, ravenous mosquitoes, and terrible alligators. This state of affairs not suiting them, they de termined to move to the present site of Charleston. The next year .the Indians gave them 'much trouble. - The winter of the same year the colonists suffered much from the want of food, the Indians being hostile, food was not to be had. "Starvation stared them in the : face." Three years later the In- 1 dians again became troublesome. The Spaniards of St. Augustme7" thinking a settlement made by Lord Cardcross at Port Royal an intrusion into their territory, in stigated the Indians to attack and harry them by land, while they should make an attack by sea. About this time the Spaniards to gether with Indians and run-away negroes, landed at Edisto, and pillaged the houses of Governor Morton and Secretary Grimball. They carried off slaves and money, besides brutally murdering the Governor's brother-in-law. On their return they swept down on Port Royal and utterly destroyed it. Some years later small-pox broke out in the colony, causing the death of oVer 300 persons. The same year fire broke out in Char-, leston, and destroyed many s'ores and dwellings. The next year,; 1699, yellow fever the most detes table of all epidemics, broke out and caused the death of many. A few years later the Indians treacherously murdered 130 men, women, aud children. Col. Barnwell was sent to avenge tKia. After killing and capturing many of them, being out of pro visions he returned to Charleston.' Scarcely had they returned when they renewed their depredations. Col. Moore marched against them, routing them with great slaughter. In the year 1715 the Indians en couraged by the Spaniards of St. Augustine formed a federation of all the tribes from St. Augustine to Cape Fear. The object in view was to exterminate the colony. Their bloody work began on the 15th day of April, 1715, with the massacre ?at Pocotaligo. Within a few hours the pitiless toma-hawk had destroyed over a hundred per sons in that place alone. The peo ple of Port Royal hearing of the massacre, embarked on board a ship which lay in the harbor, and sailed to Charleston. The few who remained were cruelly mur dered. Sir Thos. Barker was sent out to meet the Indians, he was led*?nto ambush and together with his comrades was tortured to death at the stake. Another expedition was treated in like manner near the same place. During the war which followed over 400 lives were lost. Again the Spanish and French gave the colony much trouble about the year 1725. An attack was made on Charleston but was repulsed. The summer of 1728 was one of extreme drought, broken at last in August by a dis astrous hurricane. The streets were running streams, the people had to seek refuge on the roofs ?nd upper stories of their houses. Many went to a watery grave, 23 ships were driven ashore and wreck ed by the dreadful storm. This disaster was followed by an outbreak of yellow fever, which left multitudes of dead in its destructive wake. Starvation followed. The Spaniards were ever on the watch for a chance to exterminate the colony, and they were continually urging the slaves to run away, and come to St. Augustine,. and urged on by these things, the}' revolted against their masters. Led by a negro named Cato, they ?* collected to gether, and with drums beating started on their march of destruc tion. They burnt houses, murder ed men, women, and children. They were dispersed, however, and their leader hanged. In November, 1740, fire destroyed over half of Charleston: More than.300 houses were burued, and many families ruined. In the year 1751 bands of marauding savages plundered the plantations on the San tee and Cooper rivers. The next year, 1752, Charleston was again visited by a destructive hurricane. The waters of the sea were driven into the city, add many persons were . drowned, and much property destroyed. A few years latter the Cherokees "fell up on the settlers of the up-country? wherever they were io be found. Just as the people were preparing to attack them messengers arrived from tire Indians pretending to make peace. Scacely had they returned to Charleston, when they heard of the massacre of Fort George. The garrison hearing the" .

About this time small-pox broke out in the colony again, and it was in a most deplorable condition, when those true Southern states, Virginia and North Carolina came to the rescue by sending a body of troops to help them. But unluck ly they could not stay till the Indians were completely subdued. So you see that this grand, noble state of ours, had to fight her battles alone. Among the many barbarities of . the war, I have only time to describe one. The Indians besieging Fort Lon don with a garrison of about 200 men caused their surrender by starving then out. The Indians promised to spare their lives if they surrendered. They surrender ed under those express terms. But sir, such a thing has never been known in the history of the Indian. "He isn't made that way." as the expression goes. No sooner had they surrendered, when the bloody work begaii. If so many hardships were ex perienced during the colorization of one state, how much more there fore must have been the hardships endured during the colonization of thirteen states. Now, most honorable judges, I will not say any more, simply because I do think I have said enough, not by any means because I have exhausted the theme of colonial suffering, for that harrow ing theme is truly inexhaustible. Well, now ladies and gentlemen, I hope I have not taxed your pa tience beyond endurance. You will pardon me though, I know you will, for it is very seldom that you can hear such a mass of iron clad facts and figures. An old criminal was asked what was the first step that led to his ruin, when he answered : The first step was cheating an editor out of his subscription. When I had done that, the devil had got such a grip on me that I never could shake him off." John J. Ingalls has truthfully said "It is corn, and wheat, and beef and cotton of the country against the bonds and gold."-Ex. It has been said that a fool may ask questions that a wise man cannot answer ; yet both may be better for the question. A P?TBIFIED MAJS. : A Curiosity from the Black H?ls Offered ?o the Government. A .well-known collector of prehistoric relics has what is asserted to be a real petrified man, which he is trying to dispose of to the government scientists. He would like to have this interesting specimen ph. pubiic exhibition at th? national, capital. It was found two weeks ? ago in the Black Hills by some cow-boys. Eminent physi cians pronounce* it a genuine petrifaction of a human body and the most interesting of its kind ever discovered. It is said to be from 200 to 300 years old, the body of a Caucasian probably a hunter or trapper. He was undoubtedly killed by In dians. His body was buried in a calcareous soil. Hence the flesh and other parts of the body were found mostly replaced by a lime stone formation. There is no suggestion of disease in the body and, therefore, it is supposed that death came suddenly The musclesCare round and. full ; the chest and shoulders those of a giant. The head ?B well shaped, stamping the person as a Cau casian and-' not an Indian. The forehead is full. Four of his teeth are plainly visible and are white as ivory and as well preserved as in life. The : creases and peculiar configurations of the skin, especially on the neck, face, wrists and finger? joints, are distinctly visible. The low??limbs are small, but the feet arefwell formed! and on one of tb?^big toes there is a bunion plainly marked. The veins of the ankles are clearly outlined in the petrifaction. This specimen has been criti cally examined by medi*"*1 - rp rts mr^i ' * ?? nd ?.&\ .

Where the man came from is hard to conjecture, for at that time as for as known the BlfPck Hills had not been d? covered by white men. It ?6 thought that he may have belonged to the prehistoric age and ' "he tribe of men who peor" this continent before the Ir * The story of thc- fi . is r s fol lows: The cowboys were pros pecting for gold when they dis covered the petrified man. His feet were protruding from the earth. One-cowboy noticing tho peculiar stone formation struck it with his hammer. He hoped* as the miners say, that it would "show color.,' He knocked off a big toe from the petrified men. His curiosity was aroused and he summoned his comrades. Together they dug away the soil in which the mau was buried to the depth of two feet. The entire form was found well preseved. The position was that of a man laid out for burial, the hands and arms being laid across the body. Undoubtedly the body had first been buried much deeper. During the long years it had lain there the rains had washed the earth away. The cowboys secretly transpor ted the body from its resting place in a wagon and put it on exhibition in the smaller towns of Iowa. There it immediately came to the attention of "the collector, of prehistoric relics, who pnrchsed it and now wishes to sell it to the government. Since medical men have always doubted the petrifaction of the human body after burial this, if the statements made are fully attested, is au interesting discovery from the standpoint ot science.

Washington And His Coach: BY WILLIAM ELLIOT GBIFFI8. 'Ceatain states of th? original thirteen are peculiarly associated with the life of Washington. In Virginia, he spent his earliest, possibly his happiest, days. In Massachusetts, he made a grand military beginning, and, in later life, a tour in state. In New York, he experienced disaster and grief, though these were afterwards eclipsed by the pomp of his inauguration. In New Jersey, the darkest shadows and brightest lights iii both achievement- and character were manifest. In Penn sylvania, he first began to be an explorer and a soldier^here first dis playing the greatness of his charac ter here' also his greatest work as statesman was done. In Philadelphia, in accordance with the spirit of tho times, and .h what Washington believed to bu ena proprieties of his station, he lived in stately style. Not the least striking indication of the importance of the President and of the government was the splendid coach 'n which Wash ington rode to church, and when traveling on outings for health. Made in Europe, and especially imported for the presidencial use, it was of white decorated with . medallions, When traveling, this white coach with four bay. horses, two un if or. A outriders and the same number' of footmen and posti?lious, with its fierce-must achioed coachman in white and red livery, with cocked hat and well-encased queue, "the Presi- ; den's chariot" was a sight to overawe the rural spectators. In our day, such splendor of official dignity would not be relished. We are more democratic than bur fathers. Of Washington's coming to church, John Harby whom we once wrote in these columns, has often ' told, Liviug_jxL--^H- - ... -v \l}?}, Udr&y -be . .C?-f? *>}.?.. -..'? fi?vi* U./i?ri?

Fritz had been a Hessian soldier. None sooner or more than Washington saw into the true character of these worthy Germans, victims of the very spirit against which Wash ington had fought. With Fritz on the box, the coach was safe, and the horses sure to be well held in when confronted by danger on the road. Amid profound and even reverent silence the stately form moved across the pavement, up the churchyard, and into the old edifice which has no door at the Oriental, but only on the southern side. Many a time did John Harby's children, as they have often told U8,stray across the grassy meadows from the old* Lutheran Church-at Fifth and Cherry Streets, to Christ church, in order-'to look with childish awe on the Father of His Country. It . was John Harby,8 German countrymen, or descendants of them, who first gave Washington this affectionate title. Most worthy of the honor was this tolerant and far-sighted man. Already he saw that the United States was not an English nation, not a new England, not a people with a single strain of blood. Even in his own time he understood clearly that this country is a new Europe, a new. Christendom. The old names of New France{ New Sweden, New Netherland, New England, musk pass away, and the Uuited States of America be the only name worth keeping. Hence his recognition of the virtues, the merits, the sterling character, of the French, .German, Dutch, Irish, Scotch, Welsh, as well.as of English descended peo ple in the army, in the government and in the country at large. , Despite his great personal dig nity, reserved manners, and. his aristocratic bearing, Washington had a warm heart for the humblest and, especially after his Revolu tionory experiences, a sympathy with common folks. Besides the many anecdotes in print and well known, the following, we think, illustrates strikingly thii trait. It was first told by Alfred Ely, D. D., who was, we believe, an eye and ear witness of the incident Dr. Ely was afterwards for sixty years pastor of the church in Monson, Massachusetts, and from his daughter I have heard it. We quote from "the written word:" "In the autumn of 1780, during Washington's first presidential term, he made a journey to Boston following up the west side of th e Connecticut Uiver, and crossing it at Springfield. Ho traveled in his English . coach drawn by four horses, with footmen, postilions, and out riders. "As they approached the river in the town of West Springfield one of the outriders galloped ahead and held ? parley with the driver of a loaded hay-wagon, to induce him to turn out and allow Wash ington's chariot to pass. He re fused to yield an inch of the road, and the state chariot patiently followed the wagon for some dis tance, until, at a safe point it passed by to .the bank of the river. "While waiting for the ferry boat, Washington stepped out of his coach, when one of the outriders approacher!, and, salut ing him deferentially, said, with an air of injured dignity : "iYpur Excellency, as I was riding along, a little way back, we overtook a man with a loaded cart, which occupied the entire road. I asked him to stop his team, and let tis pass ; but he refused.' I then told him that President Washing ton was in the coach. He refused again, saying that he had aB good a right to the road as Presi dent Washington.' "Washington's laconic reply was : 'And so he had.' "The outrider astonished at this reply, retired iii silence." Comment ' is needless. The essence of the Declaration of Independence and of the Constitu tion of the United States is in that reply.

"Cos rn; " is the lemonade that the puppy fell into."-Wide Awake The Columbia correspondent of the News and Courier says of the whiskey men of that city : "Although thay do not admit it in so many words, the fact is that the Columbia liquor men have practically given up the fight. Very many of the employees are seeking other places in anticipation of being thrown out of a living, and many of them have succeeded in securing engagements after July 1.

There is no longer any ifs, ands or buts about the Senate of the Fifty-third Congress. It will be Democratic. This has been of course, expected ever since last November. Still, it is gratifying to know that it is an absolute, rock bound fact. All the elemnts which nature requires, to make the hair beautiful and abundant, are sup plied in Ayer's Hair Vigor.
