ABE THEY "TAMED, SO TO SPEAK"?
Tiie debate in tbe House on the resoIatioa
to inquire iuto,'what disposition
the disr eusary authorities have been
making of the samples of liquors left
with tLe board of control is right
interesting reading.
Mr. Yerner offered what appeared
on its face quite an innocent little
resolution simply to the effect that an
inquiry be made into the condition of
affairs at the State dispensary. Mr.
Thomas saw no use of this as a committee
on the dispensary had been
appointed. This developed the real
purpose of the Yerner resolution. Mr.
Verner explained that it was not "the
regular investigation of the books that
he wanted to inquire into," but that it
was generally reported that member*
of the House and Senators had been
getting free liquor from the tample
room. Mr. Sturkie opposed the resolution
on the very strange ground that
the author was opposed to the dispensary.
You must b? in favor of the
dispensary, or you must not criticise it
Now this is interesting, to be sure.
This same General Assembly came
very near repealing the anti-free pass
law. This same General Assembly
had a bill pending to compel railroads
to furnish free transportation te members,
and now it is rumored, even in
the presence of this angmt bod?, that
member? have been getting free
liquor.
It is explained in the debate that the
samples are left at the State dispensary
by whiskey dealers to be dispensed
as a means of advertisement.
Sut these "whiskey fellowa," you
know, are just as shrewd as these
smart "railroad fellows," and they
may be working a clever game "to
bamboozle" or "tame, so to speak",
the members of the General Assemble.
Of conrse. a member ?f the
General Assembly cow could not be
influenced by as trifling a thing as a
"gin cocktail." Of course not, because
h would come out of the sample
rojca of the State dispensary. Now
if it shouid come out of the Columbia
Club rooms, then it would be a "horse
of another color," or a gin cocktail of
another color, or at any rate not chemically
pure. Besides, what would hare
"bamboozled" or "tamed, so to speak,"
about seven years ago does not have
that effect now. The atmosphere, or
something we do not know what, has
wrought a change.
Mr. Meare* wanted the committee to
havs power to compel the attendance
of witnesses, and to have them put on
their oitbs before giving testimony.
This wa3 promptly rejected, and we
presume, of course, on the ground
that pe : pie in and about the State dispensary
and particularly members of
, the House have reached such a high
state in the evolution of truthfulness,
good morals and zood character in
general that an oath is really an useless
formality and has become obsolete
? and ia bad form nowadays.
After all, thousn borrowing the lan
guage of another, we can not resist
inquiring: "Are they bamboozled
and debauched", or "tamed, so to
speak-*'?
^ We &2ree with the Greenville News
chat "the State should not be in any
mercantile busine-s on sny accouat,
because it is not the province of democratic
government, because it is com*
munism and because it is known,
reasoning from the kisiory of similar
schemes and the actaal experience of
our State di?pensary that from it
flows and must flow corruption and
other evils incidental to socialistic
undertakings."
It is against the genius and spirit of
a Kepublican rorm or government. n
is not the function of government to
sell whiskey. It might with equal
right and power sell drags, dry goods,
groceries or anything. Judge Hudson,
in his decision, which ought to be one
of the great historical documents of
the State, pointed out clearly long ago
why the law was unconstitutional and
why it was dangerous. For his honesty,
he was taken off the bench. The
State has suffered by it*, loss of money,
endless litigation, corruption and
bloodshed hare been the prices paid
for not heeding the warning and accepting
us final the judicial deliverance
of ths honest and conscientious judges.
"We r-avfi devoted considerable space
for several issues to historical matters,
aud we hope that our readers [have
been interested. It is worth something
to a people to go baek and view
what their ancestors have done. Fair

people, and we hope tbat by taking
now and then a slight glimpse into
their lives that it will tend to enable
the present generation to hold np the
high standard. A genuine love of
their country was a diitinct characteristic
of the representative men of the
past, and tometimes we think that this
virtue is departing from us of the
present. Let us hope that a stndy of
tke histc y of the past will revive our
patriotic < . i
The Legislature has adjourned, and
we have no doubt that the people of
the State are glad of it. It was in
sessiou too long for the amount of
work accomplished. A close examination
of the general laws passed will
show that the work ought to have
been completed in about two weeks or
not more than three weeks.
The Maine's destruction is sus?
picious, and that's about all that can
be said on the sabject. it is mere
speculation to talk abont how it happened,
whether by aecident or through
treachery. If it happened by accident
it shows great defect in the construction
of our armor plates. If it was j
done by the Spaniards, then it is hard
to see how war could be averted.
The circumstances naturally arouse
suspicion that it is thfe work of
Spaniards: Happening upon the de-j
parture ot De Lome, happening at {
Habana, and happeniog just at the
time when the relations between
Spain and tie United States are
strained, and tbe explosion, if an accident,
being without precedent, all
these are calculated to lead to the be
lief that the Maine was destroyed by
an unfriendly hand. No expense
sbould be spared to find out everything
possible which will throw light on the
subject. We hope that it was an accident.
By the vote in the House of Representative
to exempt certain counties
from the dispensary, it shows that the
institution is weakening there. A
Tote by the people on the dispensary
would show that it is even weaker
with the people.

Mr. J. K. Alston Very M*ch Interested In
Oar Historical Communications.
Mr. Editor: The communications
which hive appeared in the columns j
of your paper have aromed in me a i
keen interest in ths !^cal history ?f
Fairfield. I fiod that in Mill's statistics
there are many items of interest
to me which will doubtless iuteres'
many of your readors also.
'The first fettlement of this District
took place about 1845. Col John Lv!es
and his brother Ephraim Lyles were
amo-ig the first settlers; they located
at the month of Bearer Creek, on
Broad River. The7 were natives of
Brunswick, Virginia; but removed to
this couutrr from Bate County, N. C.
About the time of the Lyles settlement
at Beaver Creek, Riehard Kirkland

C?1. Pe&y. Kirkl&nd was a Virginian
alio and a man of great wealth."?Mill's
Statistic*, p. 536.
The early settlers followed hanting,
trapping and stock raisiDg, and were
often interfered with by the Indians.
It became necessary for every neighborhood
to hare its fort. "The first
of these were Fort Waggoner, erected
in the Cherokee war of 1760, on
Bearer Creek, six miles above its
month. -A fort was erected at Philip
Raiford's, opposite Pearson's Inland;
another at John Hicks', on P. Pearson's
plantation; another at James
Andrews', now Major Player's plantation."
<kA short time after the Lyles settlement
on Beaver Creek, Edward Mobley,
with his six sons, all with families,
settled on Beaver Creek io the
vicinity of |Waggoner's| Fort. This
settlement was known as Mobley's
settlement"?Mill's Statistics, pp. 555

The editor of Tae News axd Herald
deserves the hearty commendation
and gratitude of every son of Fairiisld
for his efforts in reviving interest in
this branch of local history. We of
the South have done too little towards
preserving the history ot our section.
The historian, Prescott, aptly says:
"111 fares it with a State, whose h:3tory
is written by others than her own
sons."
We are beginning to realize the
truth of this, when almost too late.
Teurs truly,

MOBLEYS MEETING HOtSE.
Where Whs It?--Mr.Douglass Gives Strong
Seasons for the Correctness of His Location?A.
w. X. Doubtless has Located
Hi 1*8 Meeting House o*
What M as once Called Grub's
Road, and Where W. B.
Estes Now Lives.
Mr. Editor: I observe that A. W. L.,
in bis communication published in
The News and Herald, states, that
the site of Moblev's Meeting House
"was abcut two hundred yards in
front ot'r the present residence of
Capt. W. B. Estes, "where now stands
Capt. Estss' gin bouse." The residence
of Capt W. B. Esies is on the
dividing ridge between the waters of
the southwest fork of Little River and
Ua r\f RfcoTrnr C^.tpgIr This lo?
tliv TV AlOIO Ul A^wuiVi v/1 W?.
cation is entirely inconsistent with the
description of the place where the
battle of Mobley's Meeting House was
fought, given by those wbo participated
in this engagement. Mrs. Ellet,
in vol.. 3rd, of "The Women of the
Revolution", i.i her sketch of Mrs.
Janie Wbite, whose husband, William
White, was in that battle, speaking of
the location of Mobley's Meeting
House, says: "This stood 011 the
banks of Liitle River in Fairfield District
?* *?*. In making his
attack 011 this place, McLnre surrounded
three sides of the hoose, the
fourth being guarded by a precipice,
which, it was supposed, no one would
venture to leap, though more British
and loyalists perished in the attempt
to escape this way than by the rifles
of the sharpshooters". The old map
belonging to Maj. x. >v . wooawara,
I and mentioned in his communication
published some time a?o, which is
j now betore me, places "Mobley's Old
Meeting House" on the west bank of
| the southwest fork of Little River, on
a public road leading from old Buckhead,
at the date ot this map, the reslI
denes of Isaac Means, and from the
road mentioned bv A. W. L., across
and ,<> the east side of, that fork of
Little River, and connecting with a
road running in thedirec:u;n of Winnsboio
across; the northeast fork of Little
River, on which th* residences of
C*pt. 5. Taylor *.tid J. Simonton are
noted. W, L. Iiosborough now owns
the Tavlor place, which, xt the date of
tbia map, belonged to Capi S Taylor,
and the residence of J. Simonton noted
on this old map near the northeast
fork of Little River, was situated on
land which now belongs to W. b.
Simonton, his grandson. Tiiis map
was drawn from surveys of John
Allen Tharpe, whog8) residence is noted
on the public road leading from
Winnsboro to Asmora's rerry, aoout
where Mrs, Mitchell Owings now lives,
and from the names of the persons,
whose residences are given, and from
knowledga derived from other sources,
I think it mast haTe been made between
1812 and 1815. Capt. H. A.
Gaillard has an old map which also
locates "Mobley's Old Meeting floase"
at the same place, on the west side of
the southwest fork of Little River.
In my boyhood I was informed by
my mother, that the Old Mobley
Meeting House was on the west side
of the southwest fork of Little River,
on land which then belonged to "Old
Billy" Yongue. My motber was born
in 1799, at the place noted on the old
map above mentioned, as the residence
of J. Simonton, who was her father;
she had relatives in Capt. McLnre's
company, who were in the battle, and
also went to school to "Old Billy"
Yongue, at a. school house located on
his land, a mile or two from Mobley's
Old Meeting House, and she, therefore,
had opportunities of knowing its location.
Within the last few months,
I have had a conversation with R.
"Wade Brice, of Woodwards, in whicb
he told me, that, when he was a boy,
living near J?ew Hope church, he often
had heard it said by the old people
that the gable end of "Old Billy"
Yongue's barn was made of lumber
from the Old Mobley Meeting House,
.nd that bullet holes could be seen in
it. I have heard Thos. S. Brice make
the same statement.
The records in the clerk's office of
Fairfield County, show that- William
Yongue (mentioned above as "Old
Billy") bought at a sale made by Benja
min Baile as commissioner in equity
under the order of the court, in the
case of Isabella Means vs. Sarah
Means and others for the division of
the reai estate of John Mean?, deceased,
the Jands on which, 1 think,
the Old Mob ley Meeting House was
located. The deed of Benjamin Haile
as commissioner in equity to Wiliiam 1
Yon^ue, dated the 2od day of May,
1812, describes these lands as lollows:
'All that plantation or tract of land,
lying and being in Fairfield District
aforesaid, containing three hundred
and eighty-five acres, more or less,
compo-. d of the three following tracts, i
viz.: ore tract on little River containing
one hundred and fifty acres, more
or les?, originally granted to William
MftKlou nn thpfrnirfh flav nf Mnrr.h_
1760; ono tract on the waters or Little
River, containing two hundred acres,
more or less, originally grafted to
Benjimin Mobley on tbe fou.iii day
of May, 1778, and one tract adjoining
the above tracts, containing thirty-five
acres, more or less, originaliy granted
to Jobu Means on tbe 7th day of Jane,
1790. This tract of land, by subsequent
resurvey in 1S24, a9 appears by
the plat recorded in the clerk's office
in book "FF," p. 204, was found to i
contain four hundred and fifty-six
acres, and is represented ss bounded
on the we9t by Isaac Means, south by 1
MartiD Yongue's Hampton land and
William Yongue's Woodward tract,
east by Martin Yongue and William
Yongue, and north by William !
Yongue. Tbe records do not show j
that anyone named "Wall" ever
owned or lived on these lands, but
they do show a perfect chain of title ,
from the Mobleys, tbrongh John ,

A. W.L. speaks of the land on which ,
?V .JB. Estes now lives, "as the then Mob ]
ley plantation," and of *':he Mobley
house'' being located thereon. This
is certainly a mistake. I was under J
the impression from information received
when I was a boy, that that
place, where Robert Yongae, gene- j
rally called "Robin" Yongae, :hen
lived up to hii death in 1848, was "the (
old Hill plac?V' an(* an examination
of the records in the clerk's office of
this coanty confirms this impression. ,
The deed from George W. liiil to
Robert Yongae, dated the 14th Dec.,
1830, recorded in the cierk's office, describes
the lauds therein conveyed as
follow?: "All tha: plantation or tract
of laud, conthi .ing fivv hundred and
eighteen and three-fourth- acies-449 (
acres of said land is th >> tract, vrheveon
Mo?es Hili lived in his lifetime, j
and was sold after his death to make ,
a rlivicinn. hv order of COGl't of tjiiid .
district and purchased by the paid !
George W.Hill * * * lying off the ,
southwest side of the southwest fork ,
of Little River, bounded by lands of '
James Brice, John Shirley, William .
Yongne and the aforesaid Robert
Yongue and others, and the other G9i
acres, formerly owned by ihe Legatees (
of David Weir, deceased, and by them T
sold for a division". &c.
On the old mnp ahove referred to, (
Hill's Meeting Honse is placed on the |
public road, about where ('apt. W. B.
Estes dow lives, and I think this must t
oe the old meeting honss which
A, W. L. and bis informants have
mistaken, for the old Mobley Meeting
Honse of 1780.
Previous to tbe purchase of the Hill
place, it seems, that Robert Yongue
lived on the Herbert tract, froms the
recitals in the deed of Thos. J. Herbert,
dated 8th Jnly/ 1817, in -which,
after the recital of the consideration of
the purchase money paid by Robert
Yongue, it conveys "unto the said
Robert Yongue all that plantation or
tract whereon he now resides, conx

On the old mt5? above referred to,
the road which crosses the southwest
fork of Little River, at <;Mobiev's Old
Meeting House,'-' and runs in a northern
direction. beiween the southwest
and northeast forks ot Little River, is
there called ''Road to Chester Court
House," and the road which run* on
the west side of the sonthwf?t lurk of t
Little River, by "Hili'-s Meeting j

MOSSY DALE NOTES.
The farmers have been very busy
sine* the first of January preparing
their lands for another crop, and a? a
general thicg are very mueh in advance
of any preceding year; and
whv should lhey not be hustling when
they have had such fine weather for
work? In fact, it looks almost like
tprin?r, '.vith the exception of a few
cold di> s at the time to remind ue
tha; tl.at favored season is not yet.
There has been tome small grain
sown in the past few weeks
We experienced a very windy day
lust Thursday which was the cause of
numerous fires. The Mossy Dale
Acadt.-m;. came very near being burned
on that day by fire blowing about three
hundred yards across an open field
into a piece of oak woods in which
the school house is situated. Eortunately
some hands gathered in time to
fire aroiuid the house againts the wind
and get the woods burned before the
main fire reachod there. There was
aiso a barn and stable burned down
on Mr. W. J. Ashford's place. The
building was used by a tenant, who
lost all nis corn and fodder. I hare
just learned that the Bethel academy
was burned down to-day, which is a
serious loss 10 the school. I do not
know how the fire originated, as there
was no school C<>-day owing to a rainy
morning.
Mr. T. If. Curlee had a fine mule
killed on last Tuesday by x tailing
tree and the plow band made a very
narrow eseape.
Well, I suppose the gislature has
adjourned and our solons have retired
to the more quiet scenes of life where
thev can regaiu the loss nerve force
which was overtaxed by too severe
mental strain in watching after the
interest of their constituents, the poor
tar payer.
Ain't taxes comins down with a
vim? Economy! Economy! oh,
where art thou! Eight years of promises
unfilfilled. I observe through the
legislative proceedings that there were
some in that August body who econo
ir.ised on their part by partaking or
samples which m ist hare saved quite
a nice sum if thev should have bought
from the dispensary. Though I do
not think that it was necessary to call
for a committee of investigation.
Samples are free or should be as they
are not the property of the Stated
purchase. I see that Congress,
through its committee, refuses to sustain
Tillman's whiskey bill; so Judge
Simonton is still matrer of the situation.
I look f^r a lively time this year
in the gubernatorial race. Judging
from the number of aspirants for the
place we will be puzzled to know who
to vote for, after listening to ail the
promises that they may make 'for the
purpose of capturing the boys. I believe
the old Veteran, G. D. Tillman,
will make things lively in an active
campaigu, and I think we need some
old and wise htad as captain of the
host that will lead us out of this
wilderness of despair and give us a
happy landing, and we then can give
him our plandits. t. b. h'k.

Walker best man. ''he bride
wore a handsome gown of j.eliatrope
silk, which was beautifully iaid artistically
trimmed.
After the ceremony the gn-sts, which
were the bride's immed uie friends

Miss McCrorey is a first honor

Carter is tortanate in selecting one so <
good, so noble, &o true, to spread sunshine
in his home and to share with
him all that goes to make up life.
The groom is now a professor of
Cedar Spring; is also the editor of the
paper, "Palmetto Leaf," {published at
the institution and is a man of high
intelligence and culture. He and Miss

a number of years together, and he,

left next day for Cedar Springs, their
future borne.

interested, we extend our sincere congratulations
and offer our best wishes
for a long, useful aud happy life, and
when in the evening of their lite they
watch for the golden sunset more
eagerly than they now watch lor
earthly happiness; may they see happiness
for all eternity shining through
the beantitul prisons of God's holy.and
everlasting love, which, when deatk
claims them for. its own, will bear
