We have been requested to publish
the following quotation from Daniel
Wedater:
"Sir, let the system (of the gold
trust) go on, and we shall soon not
know our country. We shall see a
new America. On the map where
these United Slates have s'ood wc shall
soon behold a country that will be
strange to us. We shall see a class
of idle rich ana a class or ia:e poor,
the former a handful, the latter a host.
We shall no longer bahold a community
of men with spirits all active
and stirring, contributing, all of them,
to the public welfare while they partake
in it, pushing on their fortunes
and bettering their own condition and
helping to swell, at the same time, the
cup of general prosperity t? overflowing.
We shall see no more of that
credit which reaches out its hand to
honest enterprise; oc that certainty of
reward which cheers on labor to the
utmost stretch of [its sinews; of that
personal and individual independence
whieh enables every man to say that
nc? man is bis master. * * * The
ruin or occupation; distress for present
means; the prostration of credit and
confidence; and all tbis without hope
of improvement or change is a state
of things which uo intelligent people
can longer endure."

Spring. In speaking with one

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.

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

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."

Mobley's Meeting Iloiise in Fairfield
District, was warmly welcomed. 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

MR. DOUGLASS IS VERIFIED.
M:ij. "Woodward has Discovered a Map
I-ecating the Spot?He Slakes Two
Good Suggestions.
Mr. Editor: I cannot res:st the inclinst
<;:i to thank Mr. Douglass for
' * * nt,.u
i lias i.em snu suucimi aniuc uu iuv;uley's
Meeting llonsc which appeared a
lew days ago. 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. It is really curious
to note that rone of the maps of
Fairfield of recent date mention this
historic spot, but so it is. One map of
VnWfiphi District drawn from the eur
veys of John Allen Tharp by Ed.
Paquenant, and older tfcan the Marshal!
or E'kin maps, locales "Mobley's
o!d Meeting Liouse" just where Mr.
Dougia?s points it out, confirming the
statements of Mr. Douglass, mnl I
think settling the matter be} ond controve
ivy.
And now, Mr. Editor, that the exact
site lias been loeated, two things still
important remain !o be done. Lotus
have a history of (hi fi^ht; ?'o: as has

both sides are still living in the county,
and can no doubt give interesting
narraiives and valuable contributions
to bistorv. The fact (hat they were on
opposite sidos v- si not deter any one
from ro!at;-' - i.aory, nor should tt.e

under different banners be cause of
reproach to nn- especially when
we ivfic;t that vrc ourselves diff icd
recently, as Li ?ct !>-, o-i issues of much
less importance. The (rath i--, no
people defended from men who had
conrajr>i t) fight for t heir convictions
have reason to ln;>g ihrir beads, no
matter how the issues terminated.

I ask all your subscribers particuarly
to read and read again i!:eae
article?. I only glanced at the last,
(Mr. Roddey'o), but saw what I have
( always advocated, that the farmers,
cotton growers, and all those support,
j should combine and corncr their own '
cotton and other products. There is :
enough capital in "the cotton belt and j
of those frendly to us at the North to :
give us a living price for our cotton .

I had been troubled for years with
