0ppVery Wednesday Wr ?BY? ^ TXKMS. IN ADVANCE: j (1^*^ Ouerjear, ... #1.50 I .75 j vVJNNSBORO, S. C. / Wednesday, July 26, - - - 1899 SUPPRESSION O r THE TRUT H. How and why the war ever slat d in the Pailippine* wa*a debatable question at the time. It was alleged in some quarters that the v-ar wa< a deep laid schema to force ih'i people of this oantry to cjnse.>t to taking the islands. Once pet yonr foot into j it and you can't get it on-, was wh??t! was desired. It is made almost certain now, upon creditable testimony, that there his j been a systematic raisrepresentatior. of the real conditions in the Philippiuesf and still more startling revelations inay be made before the year is out. Toe deception that has been pract'eed in referenco to this war should warn the people of the danger that is ahead of them. It will tend to create distrust of the motives of those in high authority, and it is another illustration of how unsnited our system of government is for colonial possesions. Tho correspondents of numerous newspapers, expansion organs as well as anti-expansion, j jined in a statement of grievances and it makes a f-trong indictment against General Otis and indirectly of Mr. McEinley's administration. The correspondents protested to Gen. Otis that owing to the censorship of th3ir despatches the people of the United States were deceived as to the act ail state of affairs. Even their formulated statement conld not pass the tensor? bat bad to be carried to Hong K?ng to escape the eyes of /?anar?r Thfiv assert that the official dispatches made public at Washington do not correctly tell the story in the Philippines. They deny tha willingness of tie volunteers to continue in the cause, as so often stated in official di?patche3. "The censorship has compelled us to participate in this misrepresentation, by excusing or altering uncontroverted statements of facts, on the pleas, as Gen. Otis stated, that they would alarm the people at home, or have the people of the United States by the ears." The correspondents sn&cificillv charge: "prohibition of hospital reports; suppression of fell reports offisid operations in liie event of failare; namber of heat prostrations in the field; systematic minimization of naval operations, and suppression of complete reports of the situation." This statement is made over the signature of each correspondent. The officials at Washington say that they will pay no attention to it. Hereafter tie people will hardly credit official news from the Philippines. A Spaktak*utjg correspondent of the News and Courier writes: There is little humidity in the atmosphere, there is no dew on the grass laese muruujge, vcgciauuu gradually drying up, the growth of plants has Dearly ceased, the corn tassels are dry enough to burn, a metallic glare from the white, flee :y clouds pains the eves and all thiDgs indicate that a drought is on us. Even the tree frog has ceased to call for rain, and the rain crow his gone to the thickets, bis throat being too dry to croak. Even the most favored sections of the county need raiD, and the dry portions, which have not been ^ wet during the list ninety days, are parching up. The cotton is blooming at the top, early corn is a failure and gardens are almost as barren as a sandbar. The portions of the county favored with showers make a better showing. Cotton is looking <vell and growing fao? Annnoh. whila corn oromises a IT i fair crop. Bat abont one-half of ilie | county belongs to the dry, rainless sections. The same condition exists in this county. Iq some spots the crop3 are reported fine, while in others they are dying np. Los An?les draws it* electricity from a turbnlent mountain river ninety v. miles away. The 12,000 horse power runs street cars and machinery, and , supplies tie city with light and heat. Oa the Catawba River, only about 20 miles from Winnsboro, about the same distance from Chester, about 50 . miles from Rock Hill, 65 to 70 milea from Charlotte is a power unequaled ia the United States, except at Niagara, and yet it lies idle. , CATAWBA FALLS PICNIC. A Dearborn correspondent of the Lancaster Enterprise writes the following: A traditional story eays that on the Catawba River, in Chester county, long ago, at or near the Great Falls, ; above Rocky Mount, there lived an Indian chief whose only daughter . perished in the falls and who, it is . said, appears again every May daring frrriJ'rrlif ?n tha af OCUlUij unii'juv ?*? iuv V4 the spray. , Hence an annual picnic is held there . on the first Saturday in every May, in which the citizens of Lancaster, Chester, Fairfield and Kershaw alike participate.

It will be reaiemberfed that at the October election there was a general movemest of voters in the back country to exercise the right of suffrage at the polls in the several parishes. Io some places they were permitted to vote vfMkrin others they were denied. a commutes nuu utcu appyimcu t>uv> the October election to consider the question, but when Montague dissolved the Assembly becvaso of its position in regard to the letters from Massachusetts, this committee also died. In March there was uncertainty also. The petition of Patrick Calhoun and others shows that there was a general denial of the right of the back-settlers to vote except in Prince William's Parish. At St. Paul's there was a riot that broke up the polls before the hour of legal closing. This was made the matter of investigation. On tbe 20th July, 176D, Pinckney, for the committee, reported that the riot had arisen from the attempt made by James Mayson. .Tohn Savage and others from the vicinity of Ninety-Six to vote at the church p 01. The committee finds that ice bourne of this parish are definitely declireii, "o:* th* northeast by Stono iiiver and (?) (0 thi b>und? of Berkeley Conmy. tili it in:ers;c;s E 'l?to liiver, fc E. by bounds of Sr. Joh:.'<s Colleton, west by South Euis-:., wuch bounds make a compact and t>;oper parish." Therefore. Mayson, Stva^e and their companions had lo ri^ht to *pj.inf ;n fntnre elections the-, be uoJ allowed to vote there nnies* they have qualifications within the parish. In the opinion of the committee the trouble was caust-d first by Tacitus Gaillard, who surveyed the Jin % as a regularly appointed surveyor. lie iudustriou.-.y spread the idea that the people of fhe 96 settlement were within the bounds of Si. Paul's. The second cause was that the sam-i wardea3 bal admitted the^e voters in OcUct art thof \fftisnn vcft-; iuslifititl lUO'sf OV bl*MV V* . w.a <. ?? J in believing he hari a valid e'airn to vote. There does not appear an* laiiber consideruiiou of these matters, except! that the Assembly pass2d au amended j bill leavi; g oat the issue regarding ihe I tenure ot the judges and simply voting! an appropriation for them, the Chief Justice raceiviDg ?i00 and tbe other judges ?300 each per annum. Matters were moving on to a settlement; however. The wants of the baek country were receiving attention, and the settlers tbemseives were disposed to be more law-abiding On the 5th of December, 1769, when the Assembly met, Patrick Calhoun appeared and took his 3eat as a member from Prince William's, and Benjamin Far^r qualified for Pnuce Frederick. Francis Powell refused to -a- - t-*. rj aoo qaanry.ior niacerreaerictv. s. xr. zoo. Petitions poured in for the improvement of the back country. A road was needed from Eaoree River to Confaree, (p. 204), along Little River, &c. andry petitions from settlers along Broad* and -Saludy Rivers demanded ferries, and the Assembly were inclined to hear them. Still the Couuty Court Act was in the future. The people were worn out with waiting, while a dilatory ministry neglected the matter. The objection raised by the king to the county court act was that it provided for the appointment of the judges during good behavior, without stating that they should be removed on the address of two-ttards ci tne members of both Houses, aiter tltd analogy of Great Britain where the Act of Settlement provides that judges cho3eu to serve daring good bebavior are subject to removal on an address of both Houses of Parliament. His Majesty also disapproved of ths provision that the county court should select three persons of wbom the Governor must appoint one sheriff, because the crown should have full discretion in the selection of this officer. Lord Hilleboroogh himuelf thought that the provision regarding jadges was indecent and disrespectiul to tha King.. The Provisional Assembly haviDg pasted an amended bin on :nc zstn July, 1769, hi3 Grachu? Majesty was pleased to give it his approval on the 29Lh November, 1769; of which an announcement wa? made in Sou:h Carolina by Lieut. Governor BuU oo the 21st February, 1770. This act added sis new district courls, one eaeh at Beaufort, Georgetown, cheraw, Camden, Orangeburg and Ninety-Six. Richard Jumberland, the Provost Marsha!, wai bought off fur S.GOO pounds sterling, and seven sheriffs were appointed, one cor each district; including CharlestowD. Ball nominates Robert Pringle, Rawlins Lowndes, Gabriel Powell and Murray, a-> assistant jadgp . "men of integrity, uuderstiuding a -op riy, bnt not bred to the law; >:.v a <i as well qualified as most who wi<a!d consent to set in that position, and have in some degree a prefcrcnce over others oi equal fitness on acount of their baling aided already in that office, and thereby acquired some knowledge of the common forms of business." He had previously (p. 207) expressed a desire for the immigration of some lawyers from Edgland, who recognizing that tLey coukl uot rise to the top oi the profession in the old country, would be willing to coin to South Carolina and accent judgeships. Asa fur? her evidence of Lieut Governor Bull's desire to restore trder and do jir-lice in the back country, he recommended the pardon of the several pera' as who h^d been convicted of murjjer under circumstances which be consid ;.red to some extent excusable. Ac ong them two- yuung me?:, William J'aust and Chris opher Davis, for killing a joung mulai.to who bv hi=i repeated i-ohberies and outrages, 4<and the difficulty of bringing him to jastice oaa MU5 consiuerea a uiusauue ur | ravening wolf." The justice and judges concurred in asking a pardon. A^in j Kobt. Bu3sard, a German, has been j convicted of assault and fiaed ?14 10 s acd ordered to be kept in jail ti!i his fine be paid. He was one of thus? who were "at the general flagellation mentioned in a former letter (No. 9) when an illegal though perhaps not undeserved punishment was given." He has already paid several sums of money and can pay no more. JBail in his trip through the bsck country found this to bo a fact, and begs tor I pardon. In the sessions begun 17ih April, i 1769, John Fnlmer, Bartholomew i Gartman, Cbristopber Smith ar.d Thos. j Trapp were convicted of attempted rescue of prisoners in the hands of Joseph Scoffel. Tbev were sentenced to three months and lo ?<. They were German?, ignorant of the law. Ball suspended the sentence and invokes in trey. Trapp, be says, has a > wife. Smith, a wife and four children, ! Fulmer, a wife aud five children, J1 Gartmao, a wife and seven children. I They arc nnable to pay anything and J \ are likely to live in j xil all the rest of j their lives If pardoned they will j aever give any trouble again. This ascending scale and climax seem to p bave wrought upon his majesty's s sympathy and he exerciscd the clemency craved in all these cases. Lord . Montague sails for brc.ne Gist July, ] 1760. Djabrless glad to be freed frou: t'w: perplexities caused by syin pathvf.n Boston on th'i coasf. hatred >f cattie ihieves entertained by hardy settlers of the back country. Soineti.ee duriEg the disturbance?* ; ,be date not being discovered, a present, Tuornas Woodward, and j ? m? ?? r ml a?aBMBKl Edward McGraw were put in iroa and carried to Charleston before th British Governor, Lord Charles Gr( ville Montague. A long and interesi ing account of their trial was prf pared by the iate William .Ederingto: but has been mislaid and the record of the criminal court in Charlesto are said to hare been scattered an lost years vgo. Tradition relate however that after a long trial the were released and toid to go home an Denave memseives. It is probable that this trial occurre | ia consequence ot an affidavit mad by Constable Wood in July, 1768, an that the government took a moi lenient view of the regulators as tfc condition of the back country becaa better understood.

As before remarked, Capt Woot ward wa? well advanced in yeai when he came to Carolina and wi compelled by increasing infirmities 1 resign his position as captain. But t never lost interest iu the cause, an was an active participant as long s he lived. * !?- ? 1- - T 3 \V nen ne was JUiiea, ne xiau gamere up some of Ms company who were j home, and was in pursuit of a ban of Torie British who were depred&tin in this section of the district. In tb party of Tories were certain indiv duals whom he "was desirous of catcl in?, and he had ordered his men nc to fire, bat to press on and capture th entire party upon whose heels the were following closely. C&pt. Wooc ward was riding at the head of hi men and had just crossed Little Datcl man's Creek, near which Mr. Lloy Dads nnw lives, when a Torv turne in his saddle as he ran and fired had The balled struck Capt.

This disaste caused a halt among the regulators an the British and Tones all escaped. As is recsrded on his tomb, this o< curred on May 12, 1779, about on year prior to the battle of Mobley Meetiog House. s In speaking of ihe Regulator, Gen< ral Thomas Simpson Woodward says "He raised, if not the first, one of th first comDanies raised in South Care Jina." He was attached to Colon* Thompson's Rangers who were at tfa npper end of Sallivan's Island dnrin the battle of Ft. Monltrie. Co Thompson was the grandfather o Col. A. C.
