NUNNAMAKER.) Thera has been so much written about the darine ride of Emily Geieer to save our country from the clutches of the Tories, but the account I am giving here I am sure is correct in every detail, as it is just as Emily Geiger related it to her first cousin, who was also my great-grand-mother, Elizabeth Kaigler. When Cen. Greene saw that, unless he could get into communication with Gen. Sumter and get reinforcements, his army could not resist the opposing army, he failed to get any of his men to consent to take a message from him to Gen. Sumter. This was because they would have to pass through the country that the Tories occupied and they fe;t it would be certain death to any one to undertake it. Emily Geiger, a girl only 18 years o'd?a daughter of a German farmer living In Lexington county, who was devoted to the American cause, but was too old for active service?offered her services to take the message. At first Gen. Greene would not consent for her to go. It was only aftrr she insisted, saying she had often made the trip through that section on her way to visit relatives in the low country, and that she felt confident she | could take the message in safety, that he consented. He then told her to get the consent of her parents and come back to his camp. She complied with his request, her parents consenting and giving her the best horse they | v a 1 _ AV . A_V_ TTT1 ownea 10 mase wie trip on. wnen she returned to Greene's camp, he read the message to her, then sealed it np and giving it to her bade her God-speed. It was a long and lonely ride that this girl undertook but she did not falter. Her horse was strong and he went cn without hindrance until after she had crossed the Congaree river. On the edge of a dried up swamp she wai met by two Tories, who suspected the young girl riding alone on this dismal road. They captured her and took her to the old Cayce home in Lexington county. It was at this house that Lord Rawdon had her secured in a room on the second floor and sent for two Tory women to search her. While she was left alone for a few minutes, she ate the message and, as nothing could be found when she was searched, she was allowed to proceed on her way. Late in the afternoon of the same day, she was again arrested by some Tories. She was taken to a farm house and confined in a room by herself. After supper, she retireds but she could not sleep, so she heard a conversation between the man of the house and a man who had come in since she retired. He asked if Em ily Geiger was there and was told that she was and that she said she was on her way to visit relatives in the low country, but he said he believed she was on some secret mission. Emily yery qaickly decided to make her escape f rom that house just as soon as she could safely do so. As soon as she thought the people were asleep, she opened a window that (opened on a piazza. As she did so a large fierce dog came up to her, but she patted him on the head and, by making friends with him, succeeded in getting to the stable where she quickly mounted her horse and rode away. It was a moonlight night and she succeeded in finding her way to the home of a patriot friend. It was scarcely day when she arrived and when she explained her errand, a hurried breakfast was prepared for her, a fresh horse was saddled and a guide was sent to show her a shorter and 9afer way to Sumter's cimp. After the guide had given her accurate directions, she went on her way alone, urging on her tired horse. In the afternoon she came upon some soldiers whom she knew to be Sumter's men. "Take me to Gen. Sumter," she said eagerly, "I have a message for him from Gen. Greene." She was so tired she could scarcely speak, but she repeated to Gen. Sumter, almost word for word, the contents of the letter that she had destroyed. In an hour Gen. Sumter and his men were marching towards the point that Gen. Greene had directed him to come. At the same time a courier was sent to Marion to explain the change of plans. It was largely due to brave Emily Geiger's ride that we are a free nation today. In 1824 the distinguished Frenchman, Lafayette, wno fought on the ymerican side daring the revolutionary war, revisited the United States and it is said that while he was in Charleston he met and danced with Emily Geiger at a ball. I can assure all who read this account that I can substantiate every word I have written, as I am related to Emily Geiger, she being second cousin to my father, Copt. A. W. Geiger and third cousin to my mother, who was a daughter of Jacob A. t < Wolfe. ; I haye in my possession a United States history containing a picture of Emily Geiger as she was captured by the Tories. She is buried in the lower part of Lexington county, near my father's home and I have often, in my girlhood days, visited her grave and decorated it with flowers. Mrs. R. Brant, 11115 Paden St., Parkersbnrg, W. Va.f had an attack of Jagrippe which left her bad kidney trouble, and she suffered much severe pain and bachache. Then she heard of Foley Kidney Pills and says: "After taking them a short time the pain left my back and I am again able to do my own house work. Foley Kidney Pills helped me wonderfully." Kaufmann Drug Co. Carries Georgia And Florida. Congressman Underwood wa9 endorsed in the primary elections of Georgia and Florida this week for the Democratic Presidential nomination. The vote in both StatC9 was light. H. A. Waggoner, Alvon, W. Va., says that Foley's Honey and Tar Compound is the be9t medicine for coughs and colds he has ever known. He says: "Everyman and woman tells } me it is the best they haye ever used j and whoever has used it once, always | come back for it again.'' There are | no opiates in Foley's Honey and Tar j Compound and it is safest for chilC dren. Kaufmann Drug Co. j Ate Nineteen Tea Spoons. A surgical operation has just been found necessary to recover a lot of teaspoons which disappeared one at a time from a ward of the Eastern hospital When the mystery wa9 solved by the discovery that one of the patients WH9 swallowing the missing articles, Drs. W. C. Mason and E. B. Sanger recovered from the man's stomach 19 teaspoons. Seventeen of them belonged to the hospital and two had presumably been swallowed before the man was committed.
