The bettor opinion, however, is,
thai the District was named after
General Nathaniel Green, who
rescued South Carolina frotn the
British Government, about the
Ynno the District was boing set

Tlio first settlement of Green^
ville county was commenced in
17C6, but progressed very slowly
till after the Indian treaty of 1777,
by which the lands were ceded to
the State. In 177G Paris, an Englishman
ancTIndian trader moved
to Greenville from Virginia and
built a house where the city of
Greenville now 6tands. The house
was located near the spring now
owned by Doctor Irvine. 44 Paris

the city was called after him. lie

the present town of Greenville.
But in our revolutionary struggle,
lie remained loyal to the crown ot
Great Britain, and his grant was
repudiated by the State of South
Carolina. Mr. Paris bad two
daughters, one of whom married
John Cunningham a wealthy incrchnnt
of Charleston, and became
the mother of the lion. Richard
Cunningham who was for many
years a Senator in our State Legislature
from the city of Charleston.
About the same tiirio .Tmv?h

Greenville was not designated, bnt <

of 1786, County Courts vrere es- .

and settled on the Enorce

Houpo, on a place recently owned
by Nathaniel Morgan, deceased.
Mr. Ilite was a gentleman of
wealth and intelligence, and was
masacrced by the Indians with
several of hi6 children during the
revolutionary war. Ilis wife and
two daughters were taken captives
and carried olf, but afterwards
rescued, and they returned to-Virginia.
The State of South Caroli
na made a grant of land to one of
his sons, who died before the grant
was perfected. Sinco my admitance
t?> the Bar, a suit was brought
by the heirs of young Ilite for this
tract of land which included a por- i
lion ot the city ofGieenvillc, South
of the lieedy Itiver. The action i
was abandoned after ascertaining
the death of Ilito before the issuing
of the grant.

anfl great grand father of tho jnesent
General Wade Hampton, moved
from North Carolina before the
commencement of the revolutionary
war, and settled some miles be- ;i

by tho Indians, with his wife
and several of his sons, at the same
time that Hite was killed. . i

of the Indians hi* General Pickens,
tho settlement of tho District increased

war in 1783. The tide i
of migration from North Carolina, i

enmo very strong before tho opening
of the land office in 1784,
which enabled all settlers (o tako <
ont grants for any lands they
might desire. No settlers camo
from the lower part ot South Carolina,
and there was very little Intercourse
between the two sections
of the State. i
The District of Greenville was
established by an net of tho Legis*
latnre in 1786, and its boundaries 1
defined: They were the old Indi- <

In the early history of Sonth
Carolina, and for nearly one l*un?
dred years after the settlement of
the State, the courts sat no.w< ereeUe
except in the city of Charleston,
where all judicial business,
civil and criminal was transacted.
Persons from all parti of the State,
two hundred and fifty miles distant
nad to go to Charleston to have
justice administered or crime pun
iehcd. This became a serious
grievance and gave rise to the
u Regulators" iu the upper country,
who were a sort of modern
" Ku Klux," organized for the purpose
ot punishing and preventing
crime, and administering justice
in a very summary way on " scalawags,"
horse thieves and pliin-*
derers. In order to remedy this
evil and bring the administration
of justice nearer home, the Legis
lature in 1768 extended the holding
of courts to Orangeburg,
Camden, Ninety-six, Clreraw,
Georgetown and Reaufort?
Charleston was no longer the State,
as Paris is France.
In 1784 there was also established
in South Carolina a court of
Chancery and three Chancellors
were elected to admiuistcr Equity.
Previous to this time the Govern
or and his council had exc:ciscd
all chancery jurisdiction throughout
the State. The same year
County Courts were established
throughout the greater portion of
the State, in addition to the circuit
courts established as above
stated in 17CS. Tho circuit court
for the District ot Greenville, sat
at old Cambridge^ till 1791, when
justico of the circuit court for Pendleton
and Greenville, then called
Washington District. In 1798 tho
county court system was abolished,
and a circuit court established
in each county. This was regarded
as a great improvement iu our
judiciary system and lias continued
permanent ever since. The
sitting of the court at Pickenville
was discontinued, and Greenville
and Pendleton had each a court of
its own, held twice a year at their
respective county seats.
In 1793 commissioners were apfminted
by the Legislature to seed
a more suitable place for a
Court llouso in Greenville District.
Ilenry Mitchell Wood,
Larkin Tarrant, John Thomas, jr.,
and James Harrison Bar net t were
uatued as commissioners. The
next year the Legislature appointed
another set of commissioners to
locate the county seat. They
were Rev. Jauier Tarrant, John
McBetli, Peter Sartcr, Isaac Green"-,
Paul Abner, Samuel Walker,
William Anderson, Robert Nel on,
Martin Adams, William Goodlott,
Q:I? \ v: I I :
o vuntai x vow i ^ KJ11 (iO II 11114*11
Jumos Kilgore, Thoiuas Townsend,
and William Choice. 13v this last
boaid of commissioners, the county
scat was permanently established
where it now is in the city of
Greenville. The first Court IIousc
erected, was built, as 1 have heard
my father say, who settled in the
District in 1785, of round pine
logs. This rude temple of justice,
in the course of a few years, gave
place to one of more pretention,
which was framed, sealed, weatherboarded
and covered with shingles.
In after time as the population
of the county increased, this
new Court House was found to be
entirely too small, and it was disposed
of to Chancellor Thompson
for a dwelling houso. He moved
it on top ot the hill where Tench
Coxc now lives, and added wings
to the house. The new Court
House was erected in the centre of
Main street, just between the present
court hou>cs, and stood there
till 1826, when it gave place to the
present old conrt house. Captain
WicklifFe purchased the old wooden
court house, removed it to the
lot now belonging to the estute of
Uol. Hoke, where it waa burnt
eome year a ago.
Although the district of Greenville
waa rapidly settled after the
close of the resolution war, yet the
county seat, or village progressed
very slowly for a great number of
years. It was a very humble place
in 1819 or 20 when tho State road
was completed over the Saluda
Mountains. The building of this
road gave new life and prosperity
to the village. It became the
preat thorongbfaro of the West.?
The wealth and fashion of the lower
parts of Georgia and South
Carolina were attracted by it as
Lite best access to the mountains,
snd the watering places iu Virgin-1
la and North Carolina. Hotels
sprang up and soon tbe village became
the third town in the Slate.

ADDITONAL AND EXPLANATORY PRESENTMENT.
We beg leave to call your Honor's
attention to the crowded condition
of our county jail, and the
want of accommodations for the
United States prisoners. At each
of the sittings of yonr Court the
convictions average about fifty,
many of them sentenced from
thirty days to ten years imprisonment.
In the present bnilding
there are only four cells to accommodate
all, both State and federal.
The jailor is compelled to crowd
from twelve to fifteen in each, un
til Uonrt adjourns, when the prisoners
have to be sent and distrib
nted to tbe other counties, often to
insecure jails, where the sentence
of the Court is not inflicted.
We would therefore reoommend
the building of a suitable
jail in this City, for the 'accommodation
of an the United Stattii
prisoners undergoing sentence in
this Btato, as this is one of the
most healthy sections that could
beseleoted for the erection of such
a building.

Benefits of SunshineSeclusion
from sunshine is one
of tbo misfortunes of our civilized

body ; at first ten minutes a day,
increasing the time until he could
expose himself to the direct rays
of the sun for a full hour. Ijis
habits were not essentially altered

A Care for Every Druak&rd.
A Dr. Johnson gives a prescription
to cure every drunkard which
amounts to this :
1. Eat comfortable meals at
regular hours, partaking especially
of tarinaceous tood, vegetables
and fruits three times a day.
2. Exercise regularly, but so
as not to induce fatigue.
3. Ilave regular and long sleep,
going to bed and rising at regular
hours, and take a sleep about
noon.
4. Keep the mind as much interested
and amused as possible
by harmless games sports, etc.
5. Take a warm bath daily about
11 A..M., if convenient.
6. Break up all old associa :
11/ltiO
7. Keep away from old resorts.
8; Quit chewing and smoking
tabacco, lor this blunts the moral
sense and makes the imagination
dull. Liquor makes the ideal faculty
wild and unsettled while tobacco
makes it obtuoe.
9. Never forgot that if yon are
to be a new man you must have
new ideas, and thes-e must be such
as to make you discard the use of
alchohol in all its forms. Do not
tako it as a medicine any more
than as a pervage, for it will reawaken
the old desire in the one
case as readily as in the other.
