MjfcPArrott Replies to C. O. N. Soli <h\to. r Bishopville, S. C.JJunc l, 1897 Kdilor Camden Chronicle: ta* Dear Sir: ? With your pernrssion I will have n low words to say in answer to a communication which appeared in Inst week's issue >jf your valuablo paper ovor tho non 'le plume of 0. O. N. Solidatc. Some of the allegations therein made, are calculated to mislead and I wish briefly to notice such. In (ho first place I will siy that from Wie beginning, I have been in ornately associated with the advo cates of tho onco proposod now County of Sa\cm, and am now doinp what I can to aid othors in establish ing Keo 'County. I am and have been in all thq meetings held, and have heard tho measure discussed pro and con and have time and again been a listener whilo individuals discussed the merits and demerits of a proposed now county; therefore I think I can speak for most of tho advo cates of tho new county in these parts. I have no', nor havo 1 heard anyone spook of any portion of tbo territory first tftken from Ker shnwCo as the "backwoods foction." No one who ia worthy of notice and who knows the sretion and tho peo pie living therein, cut ofT by tho last survey would speak of it as tlie ''back woods section." Answering the second charge of bu'ldozing will say ? we will havo to ask C. O. iN. Soli (iato to specify, as we aro not awaro that any uttcmpt has been made by anyone to bulldoze any body. I a uroe with C. O N. Solidato that the question for tho people living in the nroa taken from Kershaw to form bee County to consider is, "will their taxes bo higher or lower if annexed io Leo County." If C. 0. N. Soli date bad discussed that question in hia article instead of indulging in in sinuations, mud slinging, etc., nil concerned might have been the re cipients of valuable information. I submit to the people of Kerehaw co interested, that their best way .to judgo as to whether their taxes will bo more or less is to inves tigate and thereby ascer tain whether no* or old counties havo paid tho' most taxes on their property in (say) the last ton years. Tho statutes of tho State show that Kershaw County's annual levy for County purposes for the last ton years average 0^ mills per year; while Florence county has only paid on an average since it wat* established about 4 milld Neither Hampton nor Borkeley or the other now counties have leyied as many mills as has Kershaw co in any year since their formation. If these state mcnts are questioned I will give the exact annual levy as tak^n from tho statufos in all these countioe, and let tho figures spoftV'for themselves, i Darlington county in^l$S8 parted with 300 milos /of her territory to help form Flor'enco; since then tho county has built a twelve thousand dollar jail, paid oflf her indebtedness of about $9,000 and done it all with an average annual levy of about 3$ mills, but little more than half of what Kershaw co has paid. Does that look like largo counties are cheapest operated? Tho little slings at some of Kershaw's , citigon?s who happen to favor the formation of the proposed new county aro unworthy the writer; I know I havn't; nor do I believe that any advocates of tho new county measure lias over tried to boy the vote of any citizen of Ker. shaw Co by offering to make him Clerk of Court, Coroner or any other kind of official. I . unhesitatingly say however tljn.t. suitable men to flil any ollleo within tho gift of tho peo' pie will not be bard to And in the area taken from Kershaw Co and they will donbuess' come in for their nail share of the vffices when. "Lee County" is established.

The ohl Manning mnnsjou is about ?? miles from Manning, tho oonntv seat of Clarendon, audi* easily reached. It is in tho western portion of the oonntv, the curve of tho Nantoo, four miles from I 'i no wood, a thriving little station on tho Muneliostor and Augusta railroad It in nestled among What Is now known as the "Sand Hills," hut in the days of more than a eontury ago were known as tho ' High 1 1 ills of t ho Santeo," It will ho I remembered that it was among those I famous hills where Francis Marion, tho '' Revolutionary Swamp Fox," loved t;> retreat duriug'tho long and hot Summer months in order that ho might recruit I his stock and recuperate his won. -out men. It was also near those hills where Lord Cornwallis passed in his historic I march from tho low country to Camden. I I is road is yet easily discerned, in many I plaeis, ami not many years since, lower I down the river, an ohl bayonet- , sup posed from its length to have been a Itriul Nil weopou, was plowed up. Tho hills] in this immediate vicinity approach near to mount inns and are very sandy. At It loom 11 ill plantation, only a few miles distant, there stands a hill from whoso summit it is related that the lands in four counties, Sumter, Rich land, Orange burg and Clarendon, can easily ho view ed. Among those hills the scrubby black jack and oak is tho principle tree of the harvest, and an occasional dwarf long loaf pine stands as a sentry. Ro twooo tliM many hills uro numerous tittle I dolla and spring heads, rushing, rippling brandies and gushing springs. Many J people in South Carolina have no idea that in Clarendon, what is commonly I accepted as a low country county, there exists such a community where tho J scenery borders on to mouiitaii'oiis, It is easy, then, to imagine why it. was (hut Marion would select, this seoiion to re cuperate and where tho Santce swamps o tiered him convenient opportunity of acquiring and retaining his commonly known nick-name 01 "Swamp Fox. " It is also easily understood why it was that Governor Manning, a lever of the boautu . of nature, and possessing ? proud and chivulric spii it and admiration for his.oric ground, should ha vo select ed the spot which he did for tho erection of his mansion, This is the community whiuli has furnished to South Carolina five governors? two Mannings and three Hicbardsons, Covernor Planning erected this house in 1S.??D to 1K42, and spent about $ 1 00. - 000 in its building and beRUtifying, It was here that ho lived and raised his family, and the houso was occupied up to some 12 or 15 years a^o, when the governor began spending most of his time with his daughter, Mrs. Williams of Camden, where ho died. The mansion is not now occupied. In one of the brick outhousps in the large yard lives "Undo lien Pleasant," who has the keys to tho house. "'Uncle lien" wps born tn Vlr&lnin, was bought at tho age of 12, and 0111110 to 8onth Carolina about a year afterward. Hw has resided hero for tho past fiO years, lie was tin* body servant of the governor, going with him on his trips to the north and other purls. And only the governor himself eould havo excelled what. Undo Hen now is for politeness. }fe takes great pleasure in showing visitors tho grounds and car rying thoni through tho residence and explaining to them the history connect ed with tho various antiquities. Tho .mansion Itself now makes one think of grandeur deserted, of magnificence castaway, rind is rapidly falling a victim to tho ravages of cruel and destructive ti-no. .The houso was built of brick and trimmed with granite. The main body is about CO feet square, with n largo oastlc* shaped court for the stairway In tho roar, and wjngs running otf on either side. It has two full stories besides the rooms in the third story where the servants used to sloop, and besides tlio cellars underneath. The front porch runs the entire width o;f the building, the tloor being made of til ing, and six massive . high columns, fully four feet In diameter, present a most im posing scene to the eve that is unaccustom ed to viewing the public buildings in large cities. Much of the material used in the building of this beautiful castlo came, from other parts. Some of It/ was landed at Charleston, thenco transferred to steam ? ^ ? ? ?s CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. T. A.

Nor would the lover of fiction fail lo gratify his appetite for the most generous assortment of imaginary productions, or the student of divine matters lack for the works of the deepest ami most mioiont re search. Hut tho writer must not attempt to go too ileeplv into detail. His object is not so much todesoribo as to awaken somo one who may and will. I might devote many more lnies'in an attempt to picture thoar* tides of antique furniture, of wall decora* tions, to describe tho statuary, tho archi tecture, tho old drives about the premises which are now almost washed away by tho rains of decades, of tho delapidated stablos, of tlio trees, of the woods near by, of the spring down the hill arched with masonry in the shape of a cathedral, of tho lodga down at the entrance to the promises, of the iron .gates, of tho bridge across a gush ing stream and many other things. If those humble lines moy arousd the interest or some capable writer, eothat "Millford," the ahte-belum homo of Gov. John I;.
