SOME OF THE ME: OF ROCKY MOTNI
Miles Farrar, in the eari;
year of the last century, ran th
falls in a boat and came on
uninjured. We have heard o
no other ever making the effori
In the early settlement o
Rocky Mount Drs. Edwards an
McCullough were the practicin,
physicians. Dr. Edwards was
very wealthy man and of cultivat
ed manners. He died at Rock
Mount and left a large estat<
which did his children but littl
good. The old people of tha
vicinity could have unfolded ,
story of great wrong had the
been disposed to do so.
Dr. Briggs of a later date hat
a very great social wrong prac
ticed upon him. In consequene<
of this he drank to such excesi
that he died in a few months.
Thomas Minton was by far am
at long odds the most useful mai
of this day in his section. Hi
repaired clocks, watches, etc.
manufactured tin vessels of al
kinds, made furniture of ever
description, did any smithing
needed, and built the machinery
of all the cotton mills of every
character. All this was done ii
a day when every piece used wa,
taken from the forest, prepared
dressed, and shaped. to fit th<
place for which it was designec
by hand. After his death his
tools were thought to be wortl
$1,000. He left no one who knev
how to use many of them.
Berry Montgomery was sur
veyor, auction cryer, merchant
mechanic of no small import, ant
was often called upon to trea1
the sick though no L. D.
When a boy the writer saw a
wagon which this old man made
after he was seventy years of age
probably. It looked well and
did good service. At each meal
he took his brandy and at nc
other time. He used tobacco also
yet he lived more than ninety
years.
Timothy Connor was a mnasten
mechanic. He built the first res
idence of' any pretension in all
this country. It was erected for
one Mc~rarey at Beckhamville ir
the 20's. This house was the
residence of Dr. W. C. Cloud foi
many years. It was burned ir
the early 90's. His next large
house was built for Laban Hall
It was erected in the 30's. ThE
family of the late Jesse A. Glad
den now own it and part of therm
live in it. He made the model
of the- first bridge across the
Congaree River at Columbia. Th..
strips of this model were thinnei
than a table knife, yet it would
hold up the weight of any man
It is said that he sold this mode
vary cheap to John McCullough
the contractor of the Rockb
Mount canal, who built the
bridge by it. Timothy Connor3
death was a tragic one and has
been mentioned.
Barney O'Neale has left 1h
imprint on many plantatious
round about. His favorite wor!
was digging and walling up wate:
springs. A specimen of ha~
bandi-craft may be seen on thE
"Sweat Place." This work may
have been done by order of (>1
Senf, as this place was his hion
for several years previous to hir
death. On account of thE
character of his work Barue3
O'Neale was known everywhert
as the "Spring lizard."
John ~Gunthart~e, a t welvE
years old boy, secretly entered
vessel at an English port auE
concealed himself until well ou
at sea. He was landed a
Charleston, S. C. This was short
1y after the Revolution. [HI
remained at Charleston soim
time and and then came up au
settled on Rocky Creek. Here hE
spent the remainder of his lift
which was full of years. Hle
reared a large family. He was
a good and useful citizen and
died esteemed and respected by
all. As he never communicated
with his relatives in Enhgland
they never knew w hat became oj
him.
William Montgomery is said tc
have been a very eccentric man.
Many amusing anecdotes are
told of him. He lived to be quite

A Creeping Death.
Blood poison creeps up to
wards the heait, causing death.
J. E. Stearns, Belle Plaine, Minn.,
writes that a friend dreadfMlly
injured his hand, which swelled
1 up like blood poisoning. Buck
len's Arnica Salve drew out the
poison, healed the wound, and
saved his life. Bast in the world
f for burns and sores. 25c at Mc

Happy Life.
How happy is he born and
taught
That serveth noi another's will;
Whose armor is his h..aest
thought,
And simple truth his utmost
skill.
Whose passions not his masters
are,
Whose soul is still prepared
for death,
1 Not stied unto the world with care
Or public farm or private
breath;
Who envies none that chance
doth raise.
Or, vice; who never understood
How deepest wounds are given
by praise,
Nor rules of state, but riles of
good;
Who hath his life from rumors
freed;
Whose conscience is his strong
retreat;
Wrhose state can neither flat
terers feed
Nor ruin make accusers great.
This man is freed from servile
bands,
Or hope to rise, or fear to fall;
Lord of himself, though not lands,
And having nothing, yet hath
all.
-George Herbert.
Saved by Dynamite.
Sometimes a flaming city is
saved by dynamiting a space
that tha fire can't cross. Some
times, a cough hangs on so long,
you feel as if nothing but dyna
mite would cure it. Z. T. Gray,
of Calboun, Ga., writes: "My
wife had a very aggravated cough,
which kept her awake nights.I
Two physicians could not help
her; so she took Dr. .King's New
Discovery f o r Consumption,
Coughs and Colds, which eased
her cough, gave her sleep, and
finally cured her." Strictly scien
tific cure for bronchitis and La
Grippe. A t Mc.Master Co.'s, Obear

More Advice Needed.
A young lawyer received a call
iromt a well-to-do fatrmer, whi
a in et d of legal ativice. The
lawyer looked up) the statutes,
tud tidd the f-, imer what I(4
queried the ? rmne-r. ' WI J kt'

lawyer. ThM farmner handed o'ri
a five dollar bill. The lawy
seemed embarrassed. But, aft.
searcihintz through his pockets.
an~d the drawers of his desk, he
rose to the occasion, and pock
eted the bill as he reached for a
digest. "'I guess, neighbor," he
-remarked, as he resumed his seat.
[ shall have to give you two dol
lars' worth more of advice."

IWhy Suffer from Rheumatism?
WVhy suiffer from rheumatism when
one aippliention of Chamberlain's Pain
Balm will relieve the pain? The quick
relief whlich this liniment affords
makes rest and sleep possible, and that

Many who have used it hoping only
for ai short relief from suffering have
ben happily surprised to find that
after a whiile relief became permanent.

A Good Suggestion. .53
Mr. C. B. Wainwright. of Lemon -
City, Fla., has written the manufac
turers that much better results are
obtained from the use of Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoa Remedy
in cases of pains in the stomach, colic
and cholera morbus by taking it in
water as hot as can be drank. That
when taken in this way the effect is 4
double in rapidity. "It seems to get inei
at the right spot instantly," he says.
