W. T.Sherman, : which occurred in New York last Satur? day afternoon, removes a most noted .character in the history of the United IfSfetates. He was one of three men who j|&j6yed the title of General of the Army. His operations in the South during the ; war will never be forgotten by our .peo? ple. ; In the North, however, he ranks as '?^ -aiero, and bis funeral, which takes place in St. Louis, will bo a grand de? monstration. "_ ?% The Augusta Chronicle offers this good ^advice to the farmers': "A month or two ?ago'the farmers were urged through this column fcr plant oats. The injunction and -the reason for. it still hold good. The 'psice of grain is high now, and will be all ^he: rest of the year, in the opinions of ?&srperienced business men. The farmer l^yhb has to bny corn or oatsrto feed his ' stock during - the Bpring and summer ^months will have to pay high for it. It ? Is therefore highly important that he should guard against this by raising ? plenty of oats for bis Btock. And if be ^will raise enough for his neighbor, too, he will find that it will be easy to sell at ? paying figures." ? ' " The National Democrat says the deter , ruination of the Republicans under Reed ^^zio defeat all silver legislation probably ll^jwt?es the fate of the free coinage bill for .. the present session. The question must go over to another Congress and in the meantime wo advise everybody to read carefully all the facts obtainable in regard ?: to our national fiaances and form sound and clear opinions. That a majority of |^'**?he American people are quite ready to ^^re-establish the silver standard is a fact iich we believe cannot be disputed, and ?? untioa there shall be a marked change in the feeling of the western people.it is likely to come. But there is also a*gen? eral opinion that only silver produced in the United States should have free coinage in the mints of the United States. y, - ?z?Ex-President Cleveland has written a letter in which he takes strong grounds against the unlimited free coinage of sil? ver, and as the West and South are in favor of free coinage, it is thought Mr. . Cleveland has destroyed all hopes of his mbeing the next Democratic candidate for {^President. It is fifteen months until the :\ next Democratic Convention, and the sil ^Cyer question will doubtless be out of the way by that time. Up to this time, Mr. .Cleveland has been in the lead, and it .? shows that *Mr. Cleveland is an honest politician, and bas the courage of his ^convictions. Congress will undoubtedly v^asa a free coinage bill, but in what "shape is. a matter of conjecture, as a compromise measure is thought probable, :cbiifining the free coinage to American 'idlver. . t Tillman's Independence. Chahlestox, S. 0., February 18.?The appointment of B. O'Neill, George W. oWilliams, and Jacob Smail, all bank ' presidents, as commissioners of registra :Mon for Charleston, bas stirred up the politicians here, and the political pot is - once more boiling. Both factions of the " Democracy, ringsters and reformers pro? fess to be satisfied, although it is known that both sides had sent other names to the governor. The three commissioners, 3>. A. J. Sullivan, John B. Beeves and Henry Schachte, sent in by the County einocratic ex-committee, and endorsed "by the Charleston delegation in the Leg? islature, has been endorsed by Senator fir by, chairman of the Democratic State Committee, and, by Congressman Shell, the father of the farmers' movement, and it ia said that this was in accordance with , the deal made between the regulars here, and the Tillman executive committee ' during the recent campaign. Governor Tillman, however, refused to deliver the goods. The reform or Tillman faction bad also sent in three names, two of them being the names of notorious po? litical cranks. These were also thrown over by the governor. None of the new appointees were consulted, and their ap? pointment was as great a surprise to tbem as it was to the public. It is probable that all three will consent to serve, as ev? erybody seem8 satisfied to have it so. Their work is to straighten out the entan ?lament in the registration books, caused y the confusion of the number of polling precincts. These being different for .IState and municipal elections, they have nothing to do with the appointment of managers of election.?fyeciai to the At ?laufti Vonaliiution. ? But one mile of ' in lowa last year. railway was built JL BIT OF HISTCBY. JGarly Settlthient in and Around Honea I'atti?Eeruinlsenucs ot Old Settlers?TViiy it Wua Called "Koney Path." David Greer, Sr., immigrated to this State from County Antriem, Ireland, landing at Charleston, 8. C, in February, 17S9, settling in Newberry District, on Bush River, where he remained only two or three years. Having chills and fever so much, he moved to what wns then Per: dieton District, settling on Corny Creek, abont three-qnarters of arnile Southwest of Honea Path. Mrs. Emily Greer now lives near the site of this old residence. At that time (1792) the country around Honea Path was thinly settled. Henry Purdy had settled down the Creek below David Greer. He sold out to Jervy Petty and moved away. Petty sold out to Nirarod Smith, who lived up about Anderson. Mr. Smith let his brother-irt law, John Cullins, live on the place. At the same time old Mr. William Davis lived on Broadmouth Creole. He was the father of Moses and Aaron'' Davis, who were twins, born while Mr. Davis was gone to Hamburg, the main and only near market at that time. Hearing of their birth before he got home, be named them Moses and Aaron. He was also the father of John L. Davis, who the most of the citizens around Honea Path remem? ber. Giles Gantt lived still further up the Creek at the place well know as "Gantt's Muster Ground." Wheeler Po- ] Bey lived on what is now the old Honey road, about two miles west of Honea Path and opposite Obediah Shirley's old place. Ansel Massey first settled the Obediah Shirley place, building about a quarter of a mile weBt of Mr. Shirley's house. He I was a brother of Laban Massey, who set? tled the place wesfc-of Barker's Creek. Mr, Nimrod Greer now lives onfa part of it, ?oar the old settlement. They were sons of Noel Massey, who lived on Reedy Fork Creek, near where it rnn into Broad mouth. He was also father of Silas Mas say, who lived west of Anderson and died a fow years ago. Old uncle Neddy Hull lived where Due West Corner now is, and owned the land where the town of Due West is built. He and David Greer, Sr., married sisters, Misses Peggy and Polly McCormic. Old Mr. Gent, father of Dan? iel and Jesse Gent, lived at what is known as Gentsville. At the time David Greer settled near Honea Path, mills were scarce. There was one near where Gambrell's Bridge used to be, on Saluda River, known as Gambrell's Mill. Old uncle Dicky Smith built one shortly afterwards to grind corn only, on Broadmouth, where Davis & Bigby have one now, known as the "brick mill." He sold out to Hugh Clement. Benj. and Isaac Clement built it oycr in 1835. AU the mill boys, who were boya when I was a boy, forty years ago, re? member the stone in the foundation wall of the old mill bouse with this inscription on it, "B & I. C, 1835," which Btands for Benj. & Isaac Clement. They sold to Haydon Bfock and Laban MasBey, who kept the mill, each taking it day about, until Laban Massey died in 1856. It was then sold, Dr. John G. Gantt, grand-son of Giles Gantt, buying it. He sold to Da? vis & Bigby, or rather to G. W. Haw? thorn, and he to Davis & Bigby, who built the brick mill about 1869. The pop? ulation being sparce, one mill seventy or a hundred years ago could do the grind? ing for half a County?or Districts as they were called then. There was but little wheat made in this country at that time (1792). What wheat the people did make was threshed out with a flail, made of a hickory pole, about six or eight feet long, about the size of a man's arm. and broken or bruised with the back or "pole" of an axe, so that it would bend "joint"-like about two feet from the larger end, the op? erator taking hold of the small end and coming down over-handed with it on the sheaves of wheat previously spread out on a large sheet for the operation. Five or six bushels was a day's work for one hand to thresh and clean. ' Some contrived and built rude fan' machines for cleaning the wheat but the most of them separated the chafFby "making wind" with a sheet of cloth (generally a bed sheet or small wagon sheet) in the hands of two persons, tho third one holding the threshed grain in a basket above his bead and letting it fall gradually on a sheet spread on the the ground. The wind being produced by a lateral motion of the sheet, held in a vertical position by the two hands, blew the chaif from it, lotting the wheat fall on the sheet clean and ready for the mill. Some made what they called treading yards, making a ring about thirty feet in ?diameter on the ground, throwing up dirt on the outside and leveling a road around the circle about three or four feet wide, and placing the sheaves on this track, they led their horses around?or sometimes the small boys would ride them around? on the wheat until it was all threshed or "tread" out. If we in this day had to get our "biscuit" like our forefathers, I doubt if we would eat it three times a day like we do. When these old settlements were made there was no cotton grown here except for "spinning cotton," which was to make the cloth used at home. Each family made their own cotton, and, picking the seed out with the fingers at night, and card, spun, and wove it by hand altogether. Esch good old mother vied with her neighbor in the beauty of her homespun dress and breeches for her husband and sons. Tobacco was raised as a merchanta? ble product, it being "hand" up and packed in large wooden hogsheads with a felloe put around each head and a small hickory split-open and put around on the felloe as a tire. A gudgeon was then put in the center of each head and a pair of shaves constructed to them to hitch the horse to. In this way they would roll the hogshead to Hamburg or Charleston to market. After selling his tobacco, he would ride his horse back home, buying his saddle-bags full of coffee, sugar, black pepper, etc Honey Road was but a path, or Indian trail,, then, and from the beat information I can get (traditionally) Indians called it "Honey Path"- or "Honey Trail," from the fact that a great many bee trees were found along the trail, and the Indians ob? tained a great deal of honey in their tray els, which at that time was Very frequent along this path. It was never called } Honea Path until after the town was ! built; if it was I do not remember to have j heard it, and I| was born and raised in a mile of the Honey Road. After tho couu? \ try became settled up the Honey Path ; was opened, and wide enough for wagons ! to travel, andjwas ever afterward called \ the Honey Road, being made a public ' road, I think, in 1855. The Honey JRoad, j ! proper, extended from a little below i Honea Path, to where it intersected what is known as the old "trail road," another Indian trail, leading from the Saluda, at Cooley'e Bridge to Vienna, on the Savan? nah River, going by Calhoun and Cray tonville; the Honey Road coming into it at Arthur Smith's residence, on the Co? lumbia & Greenville Railroad, four miles below Belton. Honea Path town being on the Honey Road it was called Honey Path and afterwards called"HoneaPath." If any other person can give any other or better reason why it is called Honea or Honey Path I would like to hear it. David Greer lived at the place he set? tled, on the head of Corny Creek, until he died, September 10th, 1855, at the ad-! I vanced age of one hundred years; the ! most of the other old settlers being dead at that time. I have heard an anecdote told on him to the effect that the first seed corn he got to plant after he came to this country, he sewed it like he did his wheat?in drills?expecting to havo to roap it. The grain, he thought, would grow on the tassel or top like wheat, but ?to his astonishment, it did not make auy grain at all. He planted his wheat in drills or rows, so that he could cut or reap it with a reap hook, a small blade about eighteen inches long, bout to about tho 'half of a circle, with a handle on one end, the inside of the circle being ground to an edge. He would tako it in his right hand, and, holding tho heads of the wheat in his left hand, a quick stroke with the hook would cut it all down. He would then lay it carefully in pilos or heaps along the low, being careful not to loso a single head until he would get the entire row cut. Then sticking his hook in his leather belt (which nearly all Irishmen woro around their waist), he would bind up in bundles of suitable size for handling, go back to the other end. then commencing with hook again on another row, and so on until the field was all cut. Wild game, such as deer, turkey and some bear were plentiful, bo that at any time they wanted a mess of fresh meat, all they had to do was to go out and kill it. David Greer said, that before ho came to this country, he heard it said in Ireland that there was big fat hogs running at large in this country, with a knife and fork stuck in their backs, hollering, "Come eat me! Come eat me!" There was plenty of wild hogs, but I don't sup? pose they had the knile and fork ready for eating them with. For all they had plenty of everything in tho way of land in its virgin state, ana with a good range for cattle and plenty of game, but there are a great many conveniences we havo now that had never boon heard of then, such as tho railroads, steamboats, und steam? ships, the telegraph, sowing machines, tho grain cradles and reaping machines, and thousands of other things too tedious to mention. Why, just think ?bout it. When Dayid Greer lauded at Charleston in February, 1769, George Washington had not been in? augurated as President of these United State? the first term. Time flies, and tbnt fiuif, too- Stoppyounjr man, look?think ?you will have grand-children telling bow rude and clumsy the people were when their grand-lather was a young man. Hiha:.! Frost. "Oak mil Farm," S. <?., Feb. Kith, 1890. j Married Women win do Business. Judge Sim on to- has filed his decision in the case argued in the United States CircuitCourt here on Tuesday, the ques? tion being whether a married woman has the right in this State to engage in trsde. The caso was that ofICeuster & Co. agdnst E. B. and M. H. Dickson, and the plain? tiffs attempted to show that a married woman has no right to engage in trade, and that a receiver ahonld be appointed for the bnsiness of the Dickson Shoe and Hat Company, of thiB city; that after the payment of creditors the balance should go to the judgment which KenBter & Co. had obtained several yearB ago against E. B. and M. R. Dickson, who did bnsiness in Augusta. Judge Simonton dismisses the rule to show cause why a receiver should rot be appointed and says: "Can a married woman in Soutn Mo? lina engage in trade ? The question has never been made in this State. The learned and able, as well as exhaustive arguments of counsel deserves careful consideration. Until the adoption of the constitution of 1868 the relations of hus? band and wife were governed in this State by the common law. Article 14, Section 8, ot the confutation declares: 'The real and personal property of a married wo? man held at the time of her marriage, or that which she may hereafter aequire, either by gift, grant, etc, shall not be subject to levy and sale for her husband's debts, but shall be held as her separate property and may be bequeathed, devised or alienated by her the same as if Bhe were unmarried; Provided, that no gift or grant from the husband to the wife shall be detrimental to the just claims of his creditors.' "In 1887 the legislature of South Car? olina declared that all the earnings and income of a married woman shall be her own separate estate and shall be govern? ed by the same provisions of law as apply to her separate estate. "In 1870 the legislature gave to married women unlimited power to contract, but in 1882 this was amended, so as to read: (A married woman shall have the right to purchase any Speeles of property in her own name and to take proper legal conveyances therefor and to contract and he contracted with as to her separate property; provided, that the husband shall not bo liable for the debts of the wife, contracted prior to or after their marriage except for their necetsary sup? port." Judge Simonton says that if a married woman has power to buy Bhe has power to sell and Bhe ?an buy and sell in Buch quantity as she ckooses, She cannot di? rectly or indirectly make herself or her separate estate liable for the debts, con? tract* or engagements of her husband or any one else. She may constitute her husband or any one else her agent in the transaction of business. Decisions are quoted from in which a married woman is given the right to buy, sell, mortgage and bind herself legally, and her contracts can be enforced against her. If she does not desire to engage di? rectly in trade, Bhe can act through an agent, and in this case E. B. Dickson is the agent of his wife. A married woman, however, can not become a member of a firm.?Greenville News. CRIMES AND CASUALTIES. Greenville, S, 0., Feb. 11.?A tele? gram just received from Deputy Sheriff Jeff Gilreath announces that J. B. Wil? liams, who murdered Major W. A. Wil linras, on Friday night last, and has since been a fugitive "from justice, was captured near Waynesville, N. 0., to-day, and will be brought back here at once.

Nashville, Tenn., February 12.? A Montgomery, Ala., special says : "A case of interest to hotel men everywhere, involving as it does the extent of their liability for damage in cases of accident to guests, has been decided here. In July, 1889, W. A. Thomas, a guest of the Windsor Hotel, of which Oapt. D. B. Weit is proprietor, fell in a hallway alleged to be poorly lighted. Both arms were broken. The plaintiff sued Capt. West for $10,000. The jury yesterday, after being out forty-eight hours, return? ed a verdict awarding the plaintiff $2,500." Aiken, February 12.?Three promi? nent merchants were buncoed in the woods near Aiken yesterday and fleeced to the extent of $10,009 or more. Two fine looking men, one at the Buck House and the other at the Highland Park Hotel, had been here for nearly two weeks, and they took in the prominent merchants and a planter at Williston, to the above stated amonnt, with a so-call? ed gold brick (iu the shape of gold) filled with lead, One of the party came here yesterday with his draft on a Char? leston factor and had it cashed through a bank here for five thousand dollars. New Orleans, Feb. 10.?Stanhope Turnbull, a young man, and a member of an old Mississippi family, was given a coat of tar and feathers from head to foot and marched naked through the streets of Woodville," Wilkinson County, Mississippi. Turnbull recently came to New Orleans and was married to a hand? some young Woodvillo quadroon, Charity Hampton, and on returning home with his bride he was arrested and jailed at Woodville, charged with violating the Mississippi law forbidding the marriage of white with colored where negro blood is one-fourth present. As the marriage took place iu Louisiana the Court had to discharge them. As Tnrnbull started to leave the Courtroom he was seized by citizens, members of a society regulating organization, stripped,.and tarred and feathered. In /his condition be was marched through town, the females of the city having been notified to keep in? doors, and escorted to the Mississippi line. The Turnbulls are related to the first families of West Feliciana parish, Louisiana.
