By Col. J D. No. 5. "Man jFi ?? I * } Just after the war "refugees atad inagees from Tenn-essee" came tin jarms to our State and others {to [in persecution from their nei^hrs who had fought or sympathised th the North. Our people met th<3m th open arms, thinking they might a valuable acquisition to our citjizship in ridding the community jof . endiary and dangerous negroes. I folder the conditions at that tilne pjederal authorities having thfcir H&apon the country, for one of olir men to be accused of such criipe equivalent to becoming a runpv nr a lmi? term in orison. Whijle kj V? *se refugees might have been sejr;eable to our people under certain cumstances they afterwards becaime" nuisance. Most of them in the e|ad rned robbers and bandits and pr^yupon the innocent people who h|ad led and helped them through g<*mjsity and fellow feeling for {he rtu^ate. These men to add to tljJeir flror let it be known they w<t>uld mmit murder for hire, would ^ill a rsonal enemy of another for a* stipited sum, assuming the role tff hirassassins. / Some of the older people, especially tjie lower part of the county, rejmber the time when a ba(n^ of ese freebooters made a descent upold Mr. Peter Charles, (a quiet, tsts Christian old g-entlepian.

Ho told his acquaintances that they were waylaid by the United States constables, between whom and the^e refugees were a deadly feud. The matter was soon blrwn over for people at that day had no time nor inclination to give heed to yesterday, they thought only of today. For more than a decade after the I war peddling tobacco through this State was a very remunerative busi: ness and the familiar "Mountain | Scoops" could be seen in every part of j the State. These men would ship their ; tobacco to some central depot or J town in the country in which they intended operating, then bring their : wagons over the mountains and pedI die for months around this central ! section. During this time a man from Stokes ; county, X. C., with his son, a lad of thirteen or fourteen, was operating from Augusta, but in the counties of ' this State. During one of his trips he I was joined by a man, well mounted, ' with the appearance of a well-to-do | trader. Ke proposed to buy both | teams and wagons, with their con cents, mis kiiiu ol a always suited the tobacconist as it gav? him a quick sale with the promise of : a better and cheaper outfit at home, i After riding nearly all day, haggling i over the price and conditions, the trade was effected. The trader asked the North Carolinian to ride with him through the country to a little town where he would get the money, j This was agreed to and both rode | away, the tobacconist never to be I heard of again. He returned that | night or next morning and told the lad that the father had urgent reasons tor returning home at once, the boy to follow next day. The trader ginving the boy suffiI ceient money to defray his expenses j home, he took the two teams and j wagons and drove towards Augusta. ' Tin****, +-V, ^ r-cio/ ?>!or! hnmp Tiic ripn >V HCJLt mr lau 1 vuvuvu ??VJ I pie had heard nothing of the father. Telegrams were sent to every point where ther-e was a likelihood of his visiting but nothing was known of ! him. Th-en the theory of foul play j was the only explanation. By some ' reasons, the people in Stokes got into j communication with Sumter authori! ties and was assured the murderer 1 from all descriptions was no other I than the missing Marshal. The friends of the murdered man organized a party to hunt for the lost tobacconist, and run down the murderer. I have forgotten all the details, but they met Marsha] in the public road down in Florida where he had sold one of the teams and peddling from the other. With the money lie found on the person of his "victim he took a waybill for several hundred boxes of tobacco, j then lying in the depot in Augusta. From this he ereplenished his stock as fast as he could sell out a load. When overtaken Marshal had on the hat worn by his victim with a bullet hole through the hat band. On his way to Sumter he confessed to nothing nor made any explanation whatever. When they reached the city of Sumter a j great crowd was awaiting them, among I them the brother or the muraerea man. Marshal sat ?n the seat with the driver while one of the guards sat by him with a Colt's revolver in hand. Just as they neared the crowd in the street the prisoner suddenly rose from his seat and gave the guard a crushing blow over the head with the heavy iron shackles on his wrist, felli ing him to the bottom of the wae;on. j Then he leaped for lib-'-rty between I the horses. But <is h? reached the | end of the wagon tongue the driver ! pulled a derringer from his coat pockI et and shot him through the heart. ; The murdt/ed man was never found, j or at least, identified, for along in ! that part of the country so many { Yankee soldiers and outlaws were kill! ed and left in the swamps that a dead | man's bones excited no curiosity.

The Augusta Chronicle says: "From | authoritative sources comes the in| formation that a plan will soon be ini j troduced in South Carolina whereby ! that State will inaugurate at one time< j a State-wide campaign for the eradij cation of the cattle tick, the p?st I which causes so much cattle loss and saps vitally from the industry in this section of the country."
