The melon grew in [rs. longshore'? garden. It was a ne melon and she conceived the idea P varnishing it to preserve it. She vouglvt probably if it were varni.?4h1 so that' no air could get to it, that i this way it might probably be opt. In accordance with her idea, >e melon was varnished for her by [r. Kufus M.

II. Kinard's plantation, in the upper part of t'he county, < and he walked hack after spending 1 Cli l ist mas day here. Ned was bonn in Africa, and was < hrou.u1:'; :o this coun'try by a slave ( dealer, from whom he was purchased < by Mr. Kinard V father, General H. 1 IT. Kinard. lie was* owned by Gen. I Kinard until slavery was abolished at ' the close of the war. W'lien the sue- 1 cess of Northern aims made him frej 1 lie remained on Gen. Kinard's plantation, where lie has lived continuously since, and where lie will in all probability he buried. 1 Ned .is a ditcher. Digging dite'iies 1 has been his iife work, and is all he 1 knows. ( In tiie days before the War Be- t I ween the St'ates many of the bottom ] lands in 11ii<s county winch are now 1 grown up in, willows and swamp 1 arrowth were fertile corn fields. They were made so by the excellent sys- ' tem of irrigation whicih some of the ( old planters, whose plantations were [ ' their pride, had in use. Great ditches 1 were dug-and the lands were drained; < mid in these creel bottoms the finest ( corn was made. Many farmers in ( this sent ion still keep kinds, which 1 otherwise would he of no use except 1 to hold the world together, in cultivation by this system, but there are thousands of acres of swampy lands in t'he >outh. wherein formerly crops ( were grown, which have been re- 5 [*Iaimed by the willows. ] Gen. Kinard was one of the wealth- iest and most successful planters in Newberry comity in ante-bellum days. His plantation was situated in the upper part of the county, part of it 1 extending over the line into Laurens { founty. Kverv acre of his land which . eould be put into cultivation yielded it's crop. The bottom lands were ^ [trained, and it was on these lan ts Hint f'pn. Kinard's heaviest and finfst crops of corn were grown. When Gen. Kinard bought Ned. after his arrival in America from his ( (Vfriean home, he assigned him to the kVork of digging ditches. One had only to look at Ned's build to know hat his calling was that* of a ditcher. Today, in his 105th year, he reminds >ne very much of a square brick pilar built to support a heavy structure. [Te is almost! as broad as he is tall. Fie appears now to be very lit Me, if 0 my, over five feet in height, but his es's and aims are those of a giant When South Carolina seceded from he Union, and five War Between the States was on. Ned was taken from j j lis work of digging ditches on Gen. vinard's plantation, and went with "Jeu. Kinard to Charleston, where '4en. Kinard put him on the work ol issist'inir in building the forti'ficaions there. Of course, Ned's duty vas to throw up dirt. Considerable ivalrv developed among the negroes ,. m the fortifications as to which >ould throw the most dirt, and g t is still t'he pride of Nod's life that ie was adjudged the champion dirt tli/rojver. Ned says whenever the {ucstion was asked they all siaid Ned Citiard, General Kinard's negro from tfowiberry, "kin t'row do mos.' " Ned still does whatever ditching here is to do around the plantation, md in addition he makes about on<e >ale of cotton a year. He will not .oucli a plow. He prepares his land ? i-.id cultivates his cotton altogether vith a hoe. ITe seems to regard plows is something unholy. In fact, while sTed has lived in America during the ife t'ime o<f nnore than t'wo generaions, lie li'as not yet been completsy civilized. While he has led a ieaceable life, lie still retains many y.f the elements of his original savage rfuture, and his broken English is yet j inrd to understand. Ned has been married >a number of inics, his last marriage occurring 011y a few years ago. On that' occasion STed thought he had won a prize in the lottery of life, and before tilie C narriagc iiis mind wins considerably troubled as to the make of his we.tUng clothes. He walked to Newberry and told his troubles to Mr. Kin- ,j urd. Mr. Kiwird told him that he [thought the appropriate dress for a j rlifcher would be a .pair of overalls, iind Ned eagerly consented for his "old masser" to make the purchase f. r him. Mr. Kinard presented h*m, with his compliments, a suit of the gaudiest ovenalls he. could find, and n high white beaver. Tn this wedling suit, and with a white preacher C lo perform the ceremony, because Ned, who must lvave been of royal blood in Africa, would not be mar- j ricd hy a negro, he was joined to lis last wife for bot>10i' or for wors 3. tlis lost wi'fe Is now d6ad, and Ned )'( is again a widower. H Ned lives ia n ealjiir by himself, // md is I'ttppy. The abolition of slav- J Jry in no wise changed the manner m jf his living, l^or the Kinard fataiily | lis heart holds the same loyalty, and 1 from tr. '.Mi he receives the same at- r !e:ilion, as in the days of flic Old g j South. ^ L, ' Ned's a^e was recorded in thrt )ld Kinard family Bible, which was, jfl turned i-n the tire which destroyed#'. ' m^k Mr. Kinard's residence on March 29,\ >f this year. This date was nut-hen-';. tie, and would make Ned 105 years* ? dd tliis coming moiith. Aside* from' t^Hj Hho dale, however, mambers of the Pair.iiy by tracing the family record mek to the date when/Ned was pur[ based, can approximate his age, and t would iMwjjear that this is correct.
