These were plain, old fnsbioucd, modest looking, little .structures with rough walls, bare ' benches and pine pulpits; but their uneomfortablcncss and inconvenience did not prevent the little baud of] devout worshipers from flocking thither Sunday after Sunday. Here they cntno in all kinds of weather, not only the residents of tbe village but from the sur rounding cotrutty also, these last in gigs, carts, qncer-looking old carnyalls. and eotno on horseback. These were the days of good old-fashioned religion when the heart could worship Clod kneeling upou the baro floor with the sunlight or rain as it might chancu to be , coming through the groat openings in tho rr.nf, with a deep, honest fervor wu font is almost unknown in these? latter times id carpeted floors and cushioned pewe. Then "our girls" were not iuVhatncd of their homespun dresses, checked aprons, sunbonncts, cotton collars and cuffs and rou<ih hotno-uiudc shoes. Or what cared they if their rustic escort was clad in a suit of clumsy jeans much too short at wrist nud ancle, which plainly showed the cheek shirt Benebln, or coarse brogans below 'I or what miuded she of his awkward un gaitily movements as he assisted her to alight and then wulkcd with her up to tho "mpclin-houso" door, casting "sheep's eyes" around nil tho time to bco if nny body "was a-lookiu ?"

The well-spread table and comfort:., to Bleep ing apartments to be found hero- by tho weary traveler, and the smiling face of tho landlord, ever ready to welcome them, were full proof of tile popularity, and tstccui in which "tiro host" was held. At this place tbe line of coaches which wero then being run* between Charleston and Columbia, "pulled up." J>y this route, the mail bags too were brought, whoso contents wero then car ried to tho store of Mr. William Pooscr which then served as a post-office, and were there left for distribution. Not yet had the "snort of tho iron horse" penetrated this quiot little village On one of the principal streets, near where Mr. liiggs now carries on his carriage manufactory, thoro stood a Tough looking little shed- knowu ns "the market." On top ol this was placed a boll, and inside woro found bloeks lor out ting up meat, and the necessary 'Bcnlcs for weighing. This was placed hero for accommodation of such country men ns ".Duld bring in boof, pork, mut ton and other frcsli moat. On-reaching tho villago they would make their way hero, and ringing tiie bell would thus notify, the villagers that they wore ready ?"?to sorvo thoni with tnTheso would flock hither with baskets and the bur gaining would commence in good ear ?* nest. ?? Th on there was tho Orangcburg caval ry, which for n short time was oomnmn deal by Cnpt. Fitzpatriek, if we we not rtrtptukon. On "parade days" tho gal c'apturri rode forth all bootod and an.I wit Ii drawn Bword in hand, t the head of his men, who "faced ' about," "forward, raarohod" and "chnrg rA'' in (|tiite an appropriate military Tlioy were both tho on^y aud admiration, ol the little urchins about the phtcbj who, follow^ ? by a> pack of db'gB, run eloso in the ..oof the horses' heels as tho cotalry paraded th?istroots. Ah ! how boyish hearts swollcd with ardor and .uthusiam as they, too, longed lo bo a 'gallaut soldier." 1? tho days ol which we are writing the laws ot South Caroliua were exceed ingly ?evore,?oud were J generally enfor ced to their fullest extent. The stealing ol a slave was ?theo considered to bo ono of the hiost criminal of offense* nnd was punished wi?i hanging'. Aboal this time there came to Ornngehurg a Span iard by the name of La Crew, .Said La Crew was of a wild, roving disposition, and addicted to frequent drinking. Ho formed au intimacy while hero with a no- ! gro* fannied Edtnnud,belonging to Thum us Cross, an intimacy whieh afterwards I cost La Crew hi* life. JIo Was charg ed with attempting (osteal this Edmund and sufficient proof having been found against hi in he was tried, convicted and sentenced to be. hung. Popular feeling ran high in his frvor, nod it m ty be re membered by some now living how up to the very last La Crew protested his innocence, and declared that the time would soon enmc when they would lind that he spoke truly. In corroborutiou of this statement in after years, it is said that Edmund upon his death bed called his master to him and there told him of the conspiracy that hud been formed hgainst the unfortunate La Crew. The fuels o! the case r.s he is supposed to have told them are as follows : It .soeinc?! that LnCrcW in sonic way had incurred the auger and jealousy of. two prominent characters of the viilngo. ami I hey determined to rid themselves of his presence. They hired this Edmund to go to LaCrew and tell him that there was n person across, the river, who wanted to sec him on stich a night at n ccrtaiu hour, and oiler to conduct him thither. They then, acting out the other part of the ph>t, informed th authorities that they had heard that on a certain night, naming the one, LaCrow was {;oing with Edmund ou fouL lO Charleston where he was to sell him and divide the prefits. The authorities set a watch. The night having avjVed the utiMi.-picioue La Crew set out with Edmund for the purpose ol having an in terview with this person,ai he &UppjB8\l, but in fact walking right into the very (rap that had (ieen sot for him. They were overtaken juit this hide of the rivet bridge and La Crow bciug found iti the company of Edmund was sullicic it proof uf iiis being guilty of stealing a slave. never mind ?uw uiuel? he protested tu the contrary. He' was brought back, tried tor his We,- ami eomlu-ntrjd to be ?ung, Thij i< t!io story it is said l''dmur.-d told his mastery a-rtd it ma}' be leinomheyed by some of th-o cdJuAe-cki zens of Ora.igcburg Who wore* present ?it the hanging, how upon the gallows La Crew himself duel.ir d he w.ts the victim of a conspiracy. Hut circumst at)tiaI e\idcucc was strong against him, and, whether guilty or not, the mrlbrlwi ate man was condcuiucd to ?uuSjr dcalh by hanging. The day of she*execution hnvidg ar rived La Crow wub brought out of the jail md placed in-a curt sitting upon his colliu. All thu way to the girllcnva he kept talking iucc.-saut ly sayiugltd wouhl die cheerfully if only allowed his freed um lon^ cuong to k 11 his two enemies who had been> hii bitterest accusers, lie b< ggi d> one of the men, who was nerving as marshal, to give htm a gwtird, in 1 set him (reo fur only two minutes.

Then to the people he said : "1 am far from my native land-, friendless and' among strangers, yot I oati die as becomes a inan." Mo then announced his roudiness, when the Sheriff proceeded to adjust the knot, but being sutnewlvut iuexporienccd, was rat her slow, seeing which, La Crew jerked it out of bis hand and knottcd.lt .inmini his own-nook. Then with tue words: "I'm .roady,. and hero I go !" upon his lt?sj Ln- Crew stepped1 off tho plunk of 'bis own-accord, and his soul was hurried into eternity. Uow well the prediction of Hire mur dered man wae in after years vorificd, sowie already know. Tho two men who as her declared* hud conspirod against him, one of them became a watrderor in a distant State, and the other diod.in a drunken N?ut. For a long while after the hanging of La Crow numerous wore the stories set afloat by the superstitious affirming {-ha i, the ghost of the Spauiurd might uf(< h bo t-eou haunting a lonely ^spot J on the river road near a venerable- oak that stood in the (jjenter of tho street, near the residence of Mr. Jacob Itickenbaker. A number of negroes and little children about the phuo fully b.clioTcd all this and had sometimes declared thoy thorn? selves had seen "the spirit." Quito an amusing story is told in connection with those on one of the jurymen who served at tliut tiiuo. Old "Uucle Johnnio" as he was more familiar cy known, was a queer eccentric character, notouly a great lover of his drink, but highly supersti tious also. On sale and election d lys. and at numerous other times, Im might bo seen on a venerable looking gray horse riding about the village, where ho would i cmaiii until a late hour drinking, too tipsy to return home. One night 'Uncle Johnnie" was taking his usual drinks at one of tht little doggeries. A number of persons being present the* conversation turned upon the late hang ing and the stories that had been set afloat. With n sly wink at "Uncle Johnnie" which the set understood, one waggish young fellow W< nt to giving awful blood cu.d ing stories of the ghost !y visitant. "Uncle Johnnie" listened terror stricken, t.o greatly frightened that his knees shook together. This oak at which the ghost was said to make its appearance, Iny directly on his road home, and the "lucre he thought of it the more his courage sank, and he kept delaying his time ofdcpnrturc. Unobserved by him one or two of the oung fellows stole out, and securing tho services of a ventriloquist who was then passing through the place, proceed ed to this huge oak, and there made an cfligy of La Crew. Stretching a rope across from the treo to the fence by means of a ring last cued around the effigy's neck they could ut any moment swing it out into the center of tho road . Hiding iu the fence corner they awaited old -'Uncle Johnnie's"' appioach It was at quite a late hour iu the night when, having screwed up his courage to its highest pitch, he sullied forth lor his home. As he nenred the tnttch dreaded oak suddeuly thereswuug out before his hor rified, gaze the figure of the murdered Spaniard. With a cry of terror, "Uncle Johnnie" reined iu his horse, and be gan pleading to the ghost as he suppos ed, for mercy. But the figure, in a deep sepulchral voice, declared that he had come from the other world fur him, nnd ho must now go. Then as it made a swing towards the frightened man, as if to clutch him, human nature coull en dure it no longer. Turning his horse's head "Uncle Johnnie" galloped mud'y back to the village, one yeil after another ringing out upon' the night air, startling the inhabitants from their slumber. A ll that uight he lay awake at the tavorn not during to return Irotnu again, groaning with terror und declaring tints tho ghost of La Crew had come for him. Though the juke was found out aftorwards yet to his dyiug ?day old "Uncle Johnnie" fully believed and firmly protested that he hud seen the ghost of lh<- Spaniard, and no argument or proof cuuld con vince him to the contrary. These, as we have told1 them, aresoiuc ol the principal events and incidents that marked the past of Oraugoburg some forty years ago. \\ hat it* present is all who live here uo ?? can tell j what its future will be (hat 1. re ahne will show.
