Hill Writes of t Tilings Long Ago in Abbc vill County. , ??? i Seventy five or eighty years ago r there were a great many Irish people t living in Abbeville county, but nearly j all of them have long since passed e away, and their places have not been t filled by fresh importations?the fact p being that it is the rarest thing, these v days to meet with a man of that na- t tionality who has just recently arrived tiom his native home, and can "Sing of the Sprig of Shillalah and Sham- t rock so Green." v At that time the country was not s settled up in that uniform manner as t it now is?but the people lived in what t was known as settlements?that is t there would% bo sections where fami- j lies lived in close proximity to each \ other?and then there would be a large scope of country in which there \ would be very few living. i One of these settlements was known : as the Upper l^ong ^ane seuieiuun, \ which took in the country round about where Davis Miller, Oscar Cro- t mer, Tom Gaston and others now live. | Another was the Buck Stand settle- \ ment, located six or seven miles above Abbeville on the road leading to Due t West. These two esttlements were made f up almost entirely of Irish families. i My father emigrated to this country from near Belfast in the County of t Antrim, Ireland, (the section of coui- ; try where the trouble is threatened i over the Home Rule question,) when r he was seventeen years of age. ( The only business experience that . he had ever had was that of a clerk { in his father's store, who was a mer- j chant in the town of Ballynure. After making up his mind to re- , , main in this country, which he had not ; fully determined upon when he left . 'bis native home, he concluded to en gage in the mercantile business which . = he soon afterwards did in a little lop cabin which stood near the public toad just in front of the house after Wards owned and occupied by the late Peter Henry, deceased, grandfather of ; Mr. Albert Henry, of the firm of Phil- J son and Henry, merchants of this town. After my father's death I found ] among his papers, a letter, evidently the first which he wrote to his father , shortly after he arrived in this coun try. The only way that I can account for his having in his possession this letter is upon the hypothesis that up on his return to Ireland on a visit., some fifteen years after his leaving j home, some member of the family , gave him this letter, his father in the * mean time having died. 1 In that letter he said to his father that he at first had thought of open- ^ Ing his little store in the Upper Long ; Cane Settlement, but afterwards con- r eluded to do so among the people of s the Buck Stand, for the reason, as he - stated, that he had observed that the ... men of the latter place were less giv- g en to drink than was the case in tho Long Cane Settlement and that there- : fore they would be more apt to pay for c what they might buy from him on a t credit Among those living in the Long j. Cane Settlement were a very inter- e eeting old Irish couple, known as Jacky and Nancy Lathers. t I recall quite an experience which v I once had with Jacky. It was the fall of 1852, the first time my father was elected to the office of n Judge of Probate. The election bid fair to ho a nrfittv close one and some r, one of my father's friends brought c Jackv in to vote for him. v After the voting was over Jacky got pretty tight and it fell to my lot h to take him home. This I undertook t to do in my father's buggy, leaving s town only a short while before sun- t: down. ? t Being anxious to get rid of my charge as soon as possible, so as to t get home before "black dark," I drove r pretty rapidly, and in going down the n long hill just beyond the Mile v house, Jacky, who was perfectly help- tl less and measuring as much around v his body as he did in height, which v was not more than five feet, slid down t! into the foot of the buggy and was s about to get one of his legs between the spokes of the wheel. w I managed to hold him until I l< reached the bottom of the hill, when >' I undertook to straignten hiin up, but v being quite small, and Jackey weigh- M ing about two hundred pounds. 1 made s little or no progress in my efforts. k After tugging at him for some con siderable time, and if I am not mis taking, crying a little, as I didn't know what to do, fortunately a negro man happened to come along, and we managed to get Jacky's leg back into the foot of the buggy, where he lay like a lump of fat, as he was, until I reached his home, where I left him to the tender mercies of old Nancy who I have no doubt gave him a good ton gue lashing Jacky and Nancy came from the same part of Ireland a sdid my father, but preceded him by a good many years. I have heard my father tell a story, which he heard when a boy, how it was that Jacky and Nancy catne to1 inarry. i ^ It seems that Nancy, when a young girl had two suitors, one being Jacky' and the other a young fellow by the ** , \.?v7' - ? .1 II in- II .Ill aww lame of Todd. Nancy thought well of them both ml was at a groat loss to know which o accept. Finally she concluded to take it to he Lord: so going into the barn one !ii.v she prayed somewhat as follows: Oh Lord, please to direct me in this ny dileina!?which of the two shall 1 :;k<\ Lathers or Todd?" Now it happened tltat just at that ime Jacky was coming along a path hat led-close by the barn, and lioar ng Nancy's prayer, lie said?'Mine withers, hac Lathers for Lathers hatti v. a kino and Todd hath nane," which 11 plain Knglish means?Have Latli rs, have Lathers, for Lathers hath v.o cows and Todd hath none. And 10. believing that the Lord had ans wered her prayer, she married Lath ts, and they soon afterwards came to America, and settled in this country. I have heard it said of Old Nancy tiat on one occasion finding a rat vhieh had fallen into a bowl of cream, ifter fishing it out with a spoon, she ook it by the head and drawing it hrough her thrumb and fore-finger, brew it away, saying "You brot nath i.g wie ye and ye'll take nathing wit e." The late Judge Thomas Thomson < as, for a long time before becoming ' Judge, a practicing attorney at the Vbbeville bar. and cotcmporaneouf vith Mr. Burt. He was a very modest man, as quiet 0 blush as was any young girl, at iiat time, and was readily confuscc' vhen made the butt of a joke. I remember Mr. Hurt disconcerting he Judge very much by telling hi.' xperience with him while attending 1 meeting o fthe Supreme Court in Co umbia on one occasion. It seems that the hotels were ver\ nuch crowded and Mr. Burt and th< fudge had to occupy the same roon .lit had separate beds. Mr. Burt sair hat in a short while after they hac etired, or gone to bed. Tommy begar uioring at a terrible rate and kept ii 10 the entire night., so much so thai ? A -i -a ~11 Tli a ?nvt ie, Hurt, got no sieep <u an. x uv 'ay. Tommy, having gotten througl vith his business, left for home, leav ng .Mr. Burt sole occupant of th< oom the second night. Being tirei tr.d very sleepy, from having been do >rived of sleep the night before b> enson, as he said, of Tommy's snor ng, he retired very oarly thinking tr ?et a good night's sleep, but to hh ;roat disappointment he couldn' deep at all and the reason for it was ie missed Tommy's snoring. In the early fall of 1S<'!1, I became r nember of the company of whic! fudge Thomson was the Captain. \Y< vere at first sent to Sullivan's Islanc ind was the ncucleus around whicl vas formed the 2nd Rifle Regiment. In the following spring the regi uent was sent down on the coas. ibout Adam's run. Shortly afterwards Captain Thorn oil's Company was detached from the ennt p-imril !i hrieado CI 11VI vu o ? ? onnecting John's Island and Ward aw Island. At that time I held the distinguished ?usition of Corporal. I remember thr irst night after we arrived at the >!ace to which our Company was as igned. Captain Thomson took chargc if the guards consisting of some 1 r 15 men and I was Corporal of thr ;uard. The guards were changed every wo hours and when not on duty occ upied an old out house in which here*were a lot of shucks. That night there was a fellow on uard whose name was Beasly and is post was very near the water's dgo. A regiment of Yankees were sta icned on a point of land, at a little illuge called Rockville, which was ir lain sight. This fellow Beasly was the most iervous, excitable person I ever saw, nd every now and then he would call or the "Corporal of the guard," and f course I would have to go to see i'hat was the matter. When I would get to where he was e would have the same tale to tell? i-- ? 1 1,tlir> uiii ne uau uisiiuuiij uv?m mv. plashing of the paddles of a boat in l:c water, and could see lights on the oat. After being called by him several imes and getting pretty tired of it. 1 tsolved to thoroughly investigate the tatter and 011 dong so, I found that .'hat he had taken for the sound of he paddles of a boat, being rowed? .as the tide coming in and the lights . hich he had seen were nothng more !ian the phosphoresent lights to be con along the coast any night. After satisfying Bcasly that there ere no Yankees after him. I returned } the guard house and had just com osed myself amid the shucks, and as almost ready to fall asleep? lien some one came in and began cratching among the shucks, which liorouehlv awoke 1110: as this person opt it up longer than I thought mr ssary. I, in rather an emphatic mail er, said, "confound it, are you never oiiiK to K<'t quiH?" When to my great urprise and consternation. Captain homson said, "never mind. Mr. Mill. '11 get quiet after while." I kept out i his way as much as possible, the ext day. And now, Mr. Editor, having res onded to the hearty encore which as given me after I had announced iy intention to stop off my romiuis cnces, I shall have to insist on my rends excusing nn; from continuing tie same any further.
