REVOLUTIONARY REMINISCENCES.
Jaraet Meek was a soldier of the revolutlonry
war, and resided on Bullook's creek, in
ork County, 8. C. He served under Mttrlon
uring the war, and suffered nil the hardships
ad privations of that partisan officer. On ono
tension he was captured by a squad of Tories
>miqandcd by Capt. Mnyfield, of Union County,
. C., and for fear ho might make his escape,
icy pinioned his arms with ropes and drove
im before them like a dumb brute totho slauglit
pen. They had a river to cross after they
iptured Mr. Meek, and finding no boat or
dicr means of conveyance by which tlicy could
oss tho river, after looking around they at
ngth found a larce lioor troinrh. whirli iHnv
unchcd into (he river, und into which they
laced their prisoner and ferried him over the
ream. They reached MnytieM's house about

repnred dioner for thorn, and while tlioy were
ljoying their repast the sentinel cried out:
Yonder comes Marion's Men." They t>il
ropped their knives and forks?leaving their
ins?and made their escape through a back
jor and fled to tho nearest thicket as fast ns
icir legs could carry them. With Marion's
en there was a man by the name of Hood,
ther of Abner Hood, who once resided in
rinston County, Miss., who, on reaching Mayaid's
house and finding his friend Meek with
is arms firmly tied behind him, out with his
nifc and cut the cords that bound him and
irried him safely back to Mariou's camp,
any years after the close of the war, and after
is children had grown up around him, Mr.
[eck started to Alabama to attend the land
des at Cahawba. His body was found shortly
'terwards 011 the Seneca river, in the Northcst
part of S. C., where he was drowned ort
as murdered bjr^ highway roboers for bis

is remains were buried on tho premises of

This captain M&yfield resided in the neigliborlo^of
Josiah C'ulbortson, in Union County, S.

Bloody Bill Cunningbnm, Sam Brown, Sam

During one of their tory raids they captured

gives tho following account of the railroad (
rioting by the whiskey laden participants j
going to Statcsvillc. The excursionists u
I going in both directions seemed to have a
imbibed plenty of fightin? spirit during a
their stay in Charlotte : p
The train that pulled out for Statesv'lle
held the crowd thaltook the cake. A good t,
many colored people wcre'tiboard with a
largo party of young men. The cars smell- t(
cd so strongly of whisk'ey that the people w
living along the railroad were made drunk
as the train pu&sod by. nud the atmosphere t
was blue with piofanity and thick with a
flying fists. A man could hardly stand up ^
before he would be cuffed over and jammed
undel^bb seats. Kyes that wero bleared
and puffed from drink sceuicd to be the
favorlfp^urgets and the rapidity with which c
they were closed aud tied up in crape was
astonishing. Every other man had an eye t
in mourning, and those who could keep t
their treth iu their mouths considered ^
themselves fortunate. a

The fighting narrowed down to an issue
betweon the blacks and the whites, and 0
when tho train reached Iluntcrsville open p
battle was declared. The white men drew
their pistols and fired in'o tho crowd standing
around the depot. The firing wis coinmenc- j
