WILLIAM [rish Immigrant?Came Boy~A Stranger in e tied in Abbeville Dis of Prominence--Hon by his Fellow Citize: WILLIAM HILL [r* - - ? ! ti v< ras born in toe village 01 nmiyuuir.^uuu-i y Antrim. Ireland, May the 19ih, 1805, died Qy anuary lath, lt.80. and buried In Upper Long ,'ane cemetery. His father was David Hill \ nd bis mother's maiden name was Mary toe laffet. in He came to America In the fall of 1822, at Jul be age or seventeen years, landing In oni Charleston artera long and somewhat stormy 8 lassage lasting for nearly six weeks. JLt\ At that time there were living In Abbeville He Mstrlct, now Abbeville County, a goodly Wl lumber of Irish people wb'\ years oefore, Gr< lad emigrated to this country from the same ha' eotion ol Ireland from whence came the sub- E ect of this sketch. To several of these be Ing iore letters of Introduction, furnished him Is 1 ?y his lather. of Among those to whom be had such letters 8ta ras Major John Donald, whose home was In I iear where is now D'lnaldsvliie, which place ton ook its name from Col Samuel Donald, old- scb st son of the Major. From the fact that Mr. mil )onald bore the title of Mijor. which by the the oung Irishman wts considered a mark of nat real distinction. (*? In I he old country titles ant nean something, and consequently are not Jt dly conferred, ai is often the case In Amer- Jot ca,) he naturally concluded that the Major Soi ran noordinary man,and therefore the home larr f that gentleman was among the first places san o which the young man betook himself. his To the son of bis old friend David Hill, S rhom he had left behind blm when be eral- Ing rated to America years beiore, Major Don- stui Id extended a most cordial weloome, as did est* lis wife and older members of bis family. Sta it this hospitable home we and that youug fenn lr HIM pnid rrpquent visits. run r??x??iu mi | ?j uih whs not a together attributable lo the yea net that a warm welcome was ever extended at J 0 him by tbe Major aDd bis wile, as sub-e- Ji uentevents proved, hut largely ou account] trig f the attractiveness of their eldest daughter, Sen mule Hamilton Donald, who at that time re" Just blooming Into young womanhood. This attraction seems to have been reclpocal, as we floo that th?se young people lure married in It-ss than two year* after . belr first ir.eetlng. 1(JT William HIi 1 was a most enthusiastic Irish- J58? lan, never being entirely weaned ot bis love 'H?' jr bis native land, "toe home of ibe snlilally "' * nd shamrock so g.'een"; but nevertheless 18i' e was unswerving lu bts loyalty to bis dopted State, South Carolina. He was often eard to express regret that be was so ad- E anced In llle as precluded him from taking Cro n sctive part In the defense of the rights of yea be South. In the war between the Stales?a M au*e which enlisted his most ardent sympa- tbe bles. He felt that South CeroMna, wlthlu v*r rbose borders be had permanently fixed his the abltatlon, hart the first c^'m upon bl-'loy- SI Ity, but as between tbe United States and pap ny lorelgu power.be was ever reauy to do ser< at t le untler the Stars and Stripe*. H As proof of his lovalty to tne United States wbi rior lo the period at wbl"h South Carolina C ecame involved In a conflict with tbe Gen- W ml Government, we cite tbe laci that be vol* flvt nteered as a soldier in theFloridaor Semi- gro ole war In 1830, being Orderly Sergeant in T apt. Thomas Parker's oompany, tnade up of len from old Abbeville Dlstrlot: and again n 1846. he willingly permitted bis oldesi son, ohn Donald Hill, not then of age, to volun- a ( eer for the war between the United States nd Mexico, from which war he never re- fou timed. n William Hill was a man of vigorous Intel wbl act, an omnlverous reader, and consequently of most entertaining conversationalist. No lan of bis day was more beloved and held In efB realer esteem than was he?a fact which w?6 ong illy demonstrated In the frequency with Oo? rhlrb he was elevated to positions of honor juj nd trust by tbe sufTrugen of his fellow clli hut en?. no William Hill was elected to tbe office of he udge of Probate for Abbeville county for f , kht terms In succession. By those bestac- ;he ualnied with him, he was const ered a safe ,0M( nunspllor In all ordlnarv leeal matters, al p dough he wss never forma 1 v admitted to ,b0 ae bar. It was no unusual thing, fo^?ears "fore his death, to bear such expressions as, bee 1 would as soon take tbe opinion of William ^ [111 on a question of !?w, as that of any ^ ipmber of tbe Abbeville Bar." _ra cer Children of William Hill. lD0 To William Hill and bis wife were born ten blldren, six boys and four girls. Twoofthe ,,ev irtner and one of the latter aled In tbelr Idtncy?the others all lived lo be grown.

Is my early days I was a reporter on The Clarion CalL Only a dislike to own my so If beaten and the occasional fascination which ccibpen Bated for the more frequent dlsoomfort kept me in the offloe. But all this vu before the day I was sent fci* InhnnHm tin* islfa nnH Hnnorhtnp nf tha man who had Just disturbed society by disappearing from It. Mr. Grey, so lfe had been learned from he notices 6oncerning his disappearance, had one evening after dinner gone oat for a stroll around the block. He had never oonje back. His family wai of oourss prostrated after the manner of families on snob sad oooasions. After giving him time to oome book, sending to his olubs, his office and the houses of his friends hli wife had finally told his lawyers, and sy?tematio search was begun. The family bad retired from publio lffe and denied themselves to .every one, consequently 1 my chances for an Interview with "Mrs. Grey did not see hopeful, but the oity editor's air of granting me the opportunity 1 had been longing for made me loath to admit my fears. I took the train for the Greys' ?they lived a little way out of town?and prepared myself to meet the servants' soorn and the other attendant evils of suoh an assignment. The coach was an ordinary one, and there were several laboring men In it, evidently traveling to some suburb where they were to work upon the roads, (or they carried pickaxes and shovels. There eat opposite me and slightly forward a peouliar type of man to whom I found my gaze wandering every few minutes. His iron gray hair was tbiok and very unevenly out. His faoe was covered with- a stubbly growth of gray beard. Hs looked unwashed, unkempt and generally unpleasant. His blue overalls were stained with red olay and his red flannel shirt opened at the front In a way that revealed anything but a beautiful neok, burned and blistered. But the man's twitching lips and convulsive movements of the jawi attracted my attention, and bis deep Ml, steely blue eyea that burned in cavernous sooketB fascinated me. He did not talk to the other men, but sat with his head sunk upon his breast, only oooaslonally raising It to cast look about him. He, with the other lalttrers, left the train at ForestvlUa, where the Greys lived, and I soon saw them, under the direction of a foreman, assigned to make various road repairs. Of course Mrs. Grey would not see ma I sat in the library while the servant took my card to her, for there were other callers In the drawing room. Over the mantel hung a picture, presumably Mrs. Grey, done In oil. She was as beautiful as a cameo and as hard. Opposite hnr was the portrait of a clean shaven mao, with fine iron gray hair brushed off his forehead?a more plebeian cast of countenanoe, but strong and interesting. The face seemed familiar. I stared at it until the servant J returned. "Mrs. Grey la sorry, miss, but she can see no one, and baa nothing to say for 1 publication." "Very well," said I. Then I rose to ga "Is that Mr. Greyf" I asked, nodding toward the pioture. "Yes, miss," was the reply, and suddenly It flashed upon me where I had seen j those deep set, ouriouBly shaped, keen blue eyes. My heart leaped almost into my ' mouth. I took one long look at the por- ' trait and left the house. The men were repairing the road, and I ' noticed one of Me workmen whose faoe , startled me. The resemblanoe to the portrait I had seen of Mr. Grey was remarkable. He worked with ^ fleroe delight In ' the severe labor. HI* faoe seemed more j mad than ever, with the exultation of mo- ' tlon and strength deepening the gleam In his eyes. , j There was al telegraph offioe at the end of the street. I sent a message to the olty ' editor. "Bend a man to Forestvllle at I ftnoo " < mw nnmmniiH Thnn TOVllift I paced the street and walked about the ! square I reflected upon the welcome I ' would receive if I had made a mistake. Every minute I became mo e and more oonvinced that I had made the moat colossal blunder on record. By the time Mr. ' Ellington Ellsworth, the only man who 1 happened to be available when my tele- \ gram was received, had arrived I was nearly hysterical. I told Mr. Ellsworth '1 my theory, and he was properly skeptical. < He discouraged me thoroughly In about two minutes, but I suddenly rallied. 1 "Well," I remarked, taking command. "I want you to keep that man In sight I 1 hall go to town and get his lawyer. Find ' out what train they go In on, and I'll meet you." Mr. Ellsworth didn't wish to aot upon --- ?Va Analln rtrtnnrtn bUDU DU^^OOllUilf uuw uo liuau; to do bo. I >vent in, summoned Mr. f Grey's lawyer and with him met the worklngmen's train. Mr. Ellsworth, looking bored and unhappy, sot out and pointed out our ffuspeoted "disapp?aranoe" t* bis lawyer. My heart stood in my month. Was I to be forever disgraced or mads famous foreverf "Mr. Grey," said the lawyer, stepping forward, "what does this meanf" 1 And when 1 aam the man start wildly I knew that I waa not forever disgraced. "Well," said the city editor jovially, ' "what did they sayf" ( "They didn't say anything. Theydldnt 1 see me." ' "So you didn't get the lntervtowf" said the city editor shortly. "No," I replied meekly, "but I fcmad the missing man." And now, such Is the Irony of fate, th? oity editor, instead of letting me-nat on my laurels, is always exhorting me to lire op to the reputation I made in the Grey case, when I found the missing man, learned how overwork had worn eat his brain and how in his half orased condition he wandered away and returned to his original ocoupatlon in life, t? the horror of his wife with the oameollke faoc.

"Formerly the hotels tried to guard against this innocent kleptomania," the manager went on, "by having their keys made very large and cumbersome and attaching them to enormous metal tags, the idey being to render it impossible to .. put them in one's pocket To that eud they were probably a success, but they ?'31 were such an unmitigated nuisance other- as wise, and guests complained so bitterly of at the aanoyance of handling them, that of they were generally discarded.

But, aside from the room keys ? carried away by guests, a vast number of all kinds disappear through the mysterl- . ous channels to oblivion that exist In all large hoteli.
