Wliy so CfcUod?It Owes its Name to a Colored Man. We wonder how many of the younger people know why tbe spring in the Park woods is ki.own as "Fortune" Spring. In speaking with one - ^ ^ nl J n a aIUaii n tt tt7 ft UI lUtf UXUCi' UllJ^liO LUC VlliCI ua#?j v heard the following fact9 concerning it. Captain Buchanan, of Revolutionary fame, and great uncle of our esteemed townsman, Mr. G. II. Monaster, owned a negro slave narnel Fortuue. He accompanied Captain Buchanan during the Revolution as his servant, and at the time ot Lafayette's landing at Georgetown, he made himself necessary to that officer by performing the duties of valet, Captain Bnchanan being stationed there at that time. On Lafayette's return to the United States in 1825, For une heariug of his being iu Camden saddled a horse and went to that to^n. He insisted on seeing Lafayette, who recognizing him, invited him to join him in a glass of wine. When Fortune retarned to Fairfield he cultivated the land near the spring which now bears his name. Ever since that time, about 1825, the spring has.been known to the inhabitants of the "Granite City," as "Fortune Springs," and even the surrounding roads have borrowed the name?wbile tbe rising generation call the locality "our park," those of older growth designate the woods with the name of one of Winnsboro's oldest African residents. 1/rrJLA JbUxlIXAUU^. Oar farmers have about finished harvesting their crops. Most of them made very good crops this year. The price of cotton though is so extremely low that they will realize very little for it. Our advise to them is to plaut less cotton aDd to strive to make their supplies at home. Then, and not.nntil then, will they improve tiieir condition. More oats have been sown here this fall than has heretofore been the ca6e in years. Some wheat has been sown also. ' Most of oar farmers have got good turnip patches.

Editor News and Herald: I observe that several ot your cor- ; respondents have recently asrked for information about the location of: Mobley's Meeting lluuse where a battle, ihough small yet very cn-j conrsgiBg in its results to the wh'gs, was fuiiHht in Jane 1780. I have, known, tince my boyhood, of its !oca-1 tion on the west side of the west fork of Little River, on a pian!afion which then belonged to the estate of Old Billy Yongoe. It is abont thrcequaitersofa m.le south of tho road rohi^h lnnrlj frr> s Mr. William L. Rosborough'* re.-Ueucc to^rjirds JLiuckhead,3on a t: act of )a-id wlrch, I believe, now belongs to Mrs. W. J.J Burley. Xiic mout:d. now overgrown with trees, suppo-eri 10 be the old fort, lies about fifty yards from the we?L Lank of Little River, and I am informed by a citizen living near there, j that about four hundred yards from this mound is still to be found thedis- j tinctiy marked line of the old brcas;- , works, on a high bluC". This battle occurred a f_\v days after the surprise of the British at tie old Held, now Beckhamviile, iu Chester County, Mrs. Ellet in her sketch of Mrs. Mary McLure in vol. 211, of "Women of the Revolution." page 177, says: ''Tee arrival in the neighborhood of Col.

The same number of men, among whom tvere John Brattou and John Mills, went down with him, and as before, were victorious, surprising and defeating more than two hundred." Dr IIo>ve, in vol. I, Hist. Presb. Church iu South Carolina, p. 51G, speaks ot the Whigs, "being undertbe command of Colonel Brator:, Mnpr Winn and Capt. McLure," who "defeated a party of Tories at Mobley's Meeting Licuse in Fairfield District." In her sketch of Mrs. Jane White, Mrs. tCIlet again speaks ol tne aitacK ai .uouieys Meeting House, and says: ''This stood on tha banks of Lit:le Rlrer i;i Fairfield District. A number of people from the vicinity had assembled in obedience lo a summons lrom the commander at Rocky Mount, to (ae protection au I enlist in the royal army, a suitable person being there from headquarters with a force sufficient to sustain him in any necessary movemen; * * * In making his attack on this place, McLure surrounded shree sides of the house.. fourth being guirdcd by a prccipice, which it was supposed no one would venture to leap, though more British and loyalists perished in the attempt to escapc this way than by the rifles of the &harpshcoters." Mobley's Meeting House seems to have been a place of rendezvous for Tories and British in 1780. In Draper's "Kiugs Mountain and its Heroes,on page 143, he says that five days before the battle at Musgroves' Mills, "Lieutenant-Colonel Johu Phillips' battalion and another were stationed" in that - L - 4| Ai "\<C VIClIllty. jLiiu uaiue so iuu^iwuo 1 Mills on the Enoree Iiiver having oceurred on the ISch dav of August, i 1780, this would make the date tbe j 13th day of August of same year. | Lieutenant Anthony Allaire, a British officer iu Ferguson's corps, in his diarv, after speaking of crossing Broad River at Lyies Ford on ihe loth day of August, 1780, mentions that his command. on the next day, "marched to Mobley's Meeting House fo convenience of ground." A. S. Douglass. MR. DOUGLASS IS VERIFIED. M:ij. "Woodward has Discovered a Map I-ecating the Spot?He Slakes Two Good Suggestions.

I had always heard that il was situated in the neighborhood spoken of bht the procise losation I never knew before the appcaraace of bis article.
