THXANNIG T13MS MANNING, S. C. CONQUEST OF THE COOSAWS. A Legend of the Early Days of Carolina How King Benjie and Sancho Yjay Routed a Fierce and Strong Tribe of Savages and Took Possession of Their Lands for the Stale. [From the Carolina Spartan.) The following story was found in an old volume entitled "Annals, Tra ditions, and Happenings in the New World," printed in London, 1718. At this particular time I thought it might interest you and, perhaps, a few of vour curious readers. J.AN CERVANTE. THE STORY. Once upon a time it came to pass that a certain tribe, strong and fierce, got possession of a valuable part of the land, or rather water, belonging to the royal and sturdy subjects of King Benjie. This tribe, some of them at least, came from a great distance. At first, they were mild and sweet tem pered and their words and acts show ed them to be very harmless. When they first came, Benjie was not King, but the country was ruled by certain tyrants, known as Ringmen. It was in the beginning of their reign that this strange tribe, who called them selves Coosaws, after their manner of speaking, began to show their power. They went to the King's banquet halls and council chambers, and finally by fair words and much talk got permis sion to pitch their tents on the banks of a fair and lovely stream which they called the Coosaw, after their own name. There they lived in peace and paid tribute to the Ringmen and grew stronger every year. They built themselves great houses and vessels and formidable engines. They said to various smaller tribes in the vicin ity: "You keep away from the wa ters of the Coosaw. We have a grant from the mighty King of the Conga ree which gives us the exclusive right to this stream and all its belongings and appurtenances." After a long time of covetous look ing on and longing for the rich treas ures in the bottom of the Coosaw, the smaller tribes united their forces and hired learned men, skilled in the law, to help them supplant the Coosaws. heyesaeed to accomplish by strate gy and chicanery that which they :ogfd odo by force. Their persua give indbamboozling had no in ifuence on the dynasty of the Ring men, who declared that they had made a fair trade with the Coosaws, and if a bad one they must stick the closer to it. All their efforts were futile un fil the dynasty of the Ringmen was deposed by a new man; known as King Benjie. The people rose up as De man and said: "We are very tired of .paying tribute to the puffed p Ringsters and Bloated Boasters, nd we will have none Lut Benjie to rule over us." When he was crowned n a high place in the presence of all he people, these smaller tribes said: Aaa now we've got 'em. Time's u~p withtik Coosaws. They will have to o and weiwill take their fair'and de ,irable territory." They then began in the most artful way, with the assistance of learned nen, tot depum'rent the -Coosaws. Lhey soon'gained over King B3en jie to their side. Of course his followers nd servants thouight just as Benjie did. Then the allie4~ tribes hied them selves to the King's council chamber d there things were fixed, and some people-were, no doubt, fixed, and a decree, signed by the King and sealed with his great seal, was sent out to all he provinces of the realm, saying, bat.on a certain day of a certain nonth, King -Benjie and his chief ounsellor and loyal servant Sancho Yjay, with other trusty and valiant liegemen, would proceed to the waters f the Cocsaw, and there parcel out the coveted territory amongst the maller tribes who had waited so long md so patiently for the goodly treas ures beneath the placid waters. When the time came for the King nd his loyal follownrs to carry out the proclamation, there was much talk as to the manner of proceeding in this dillicult'and dangerous busi ness. It was a strange country, and they did not. know the approaches. After talking rnearly all night, King Benjie said to Sancho Yjay: "You take certain valiant men and go speed ilymd'secretly to the great waters nerthelands of the Coosaws. There yo will be joined by the leaders of the allie& tribes. The learned men in the law will also be there. While they are near you may be certain there is no danger to your bodies. With a faithful servant or two I will go another way and surprise the Coosaws in the rear.. Go, and tarry not." With this the council broke up, ad the gallant Yjay hied him forth on his perilous journey. On their arrival at theJland of the Coosaws they found the chiefs and wise counsellors of the allied tribes with their spears sharpened and their war paint oni. A council was held. The situation was discussed. Watch men were sent out to look for the camp fires of King Benjie over in the rear of the Coosaws, but no catmnp fires appeared. For some reason he tarried. The chief counsellor, Senor Al Drichi, whose name indicated his fierce, Moorish blood said: "Why wait fr your king? He is either lost in the wilds, or he tarries until the dan ger is over. Up and at them. Don Lopez, chief of the Coosaws, will re tire if you will only.- move forward. He depends for success on stratagem and not open warfare." Sancho Yjay was chosen leader, be canse he had on a former occasion distinguished himself in the fight with the Boodlers, Boasters and Brag garts and Ringmen, and had driven them to the -fortresses and strongholds on the shores of the mighty sea that borders their.Iand. The allied chiefs had a strong vessel, and this was used in the expedition. The rowers took their places and the helmsman steered the prow of the sturdy vessel straight to the waters of the Coosaw. Sancho Yjay, on-the confines of that territory, made a speech. He is noted' for his wonderful speeches, repletet with wisdom and wise counsel. When the spirits of the mighty brave who have passed away are called forth from their long sleep, it is belieyed that the first sound that strikes their ears will be the sweet and harmonious voice of Yjay making a speech to them. After appointing faithful watchmen to look out for the apnroach of Senor Lopez, the eloquent Yjay called his braves together and said: "Princes, I potentates, and worthy chiefs! Brave men are never so happy as when dan ger surrounds them and victory is to be won by sturdy blows. The time for action has come. The battlements of the enemy frown on us from yon der shore. Before the set of sun they will be ours. Senor Lopez and his followers will be led as captives back t ti- banks of the Congaree. Let no heart grow faint, no arm become nerveless, no knees knock together." This and much more did Sancho Yjay say, for it all his speeches were writ ten out, a thousand books would not contain them. He then offered a res olution which was voted on by all the braves. This is the manner and mean ing of it: "Resolved, that the land of the Coosaws is our land; that the Coosaws have no rights that we are bound to regard, or to respect; that they have grown rich and proud and refuse to give us any boodle; that they must be abased and brought low; that the land must be given to the tibes that will fill our strong boxes with tribute money." After this was agreed to they mov ed forward and took possession of the waters of the Coosaw from one end to the other. They dived far down to the abodes of the mudfish and brought up of the land or dirt that Jay at the bottom of the river and each said aloud: "We own this land." That was according to the custom of the people at that time, and the wise Senor Al Drichi advised after that manner. Senor Lopez kept far away and did not approach. After getting possession of the land a great feast was prepared and much of the fruits of that goodly land were devoured. By this time King Benjie had arrived and explained his absence. While Yjay was taking possession of the waters King Benjie with his faith ful servant was making a feint in the rear, causing Senor Lopez to believe that the real attack would come from that side. Thus it came about that a great victory was obtained and the Coosaws utterly discomfited and their fair possessions parcelled out amongst their old enemies, the smaller tribes. There was much rejoicing around the camp fires, and wine and the juice of corn flowed as freely as the waters of the Coosaw at high tide. Their joy knew no bounds. Yjay and AlDrichi felt so good that they "cut the pigeon wing," as they called a peculiar dance in their language. King Benjie pat. ted himself on the back and whisper ed in his own ear, "Old fellow, you are very good to yourself, you bet. The rain will be kept off for many a day. That howling old wolf will not scratch at your door any more." This was the strange language of that peo ple, and no one knbws what the mean ing thereof is. Thus the expedition ended. King Benjie and his follow ers returned covered all over with glory. For all their labor arid the danger undergone they received noth ing but the praises of a grateful peo ple.. Temperance Notes. Eleven of the twenty-five aldermen in New York are liquor dealers. Of the new mayors in England and Wales, thirty-four are total abstainers. A saloon occupies the house where the first Sunday-school in America was held, at Pawtucket, R I. More than twelve thousand women in New York State procured divorces ast year from drunken husbands. Carroll D. Wright, the most trust worthy statician, says that for every dollar paid in by the saloons for' their icences, about twenty-one dollars is paid out~by the people. There are in London 120,000 drink shops Is it any wonder that London reeks with vice and crime ? Other eities in proportion to population are as criminal as London. Thirty-six "wet" counties of Geor gia have one conviet to every 690 peo ple. One hundred and one "dry" counties in the same State have one' convict to every 1,32.9 people. Governor Burleigh, in his inaugu ral address on January 8, urged the Legislature to keep Maine in the van of temperance States and to strength en it by the passage of much needed amendments. The great duty of the hour is-the removal of the drink curse at home and abroad. For our nation's safety we must destroy the liquor traffic. This i not an impossibility, though many think it is. If Christians will only combine to this end, we can effect the desired result by moral suasion, home instruction, church influence and proper legislation. Windsor, Cacada, has a beautiful drinking fountain, flowing for man and beast, which was erected by the W. C. T. U. in the fiftieth year of Queen Victoria's reign. It was their contribution to the jubilee. It was suggested at the late National Con vention that it would make a jubilee in the United States if every local union should undertake to provide such a comfort for its own town.

The visitor from Hawcreek had been invited to address the Sunday-school. "I am reminded, children," he said, "of the career of a boy who was once no larger than some of the little fel lows I see here before me. He played truant when he was sent to school, went fishing every Sunday, ran away from home before he was ten years old, learned to drink, smoke, chew tobacco, play cards, and slip in under the canvas when the circus came around. He went into bad company, frequented livery stables and bar rooms, finally became a pick-pocket, then a forger, then a horse-thief, and one day, in a fit of drunken mad ness, he committed a cowardly mur der. Children," he continued, impres sively, "where do you think that boy is now?'" "He stands before us !" guessed the cilren, with one voice.I Some Reflections on the Keels Case. The statement of the Attorney General shows that he could not prop erly have done otherwise than ap prove the bond of County Treasurer Keels, of Sumter. The fact that the county commissioners had rejected the bond and that the grand jury af terwards presented it as insufficient are strong points; but it should be remembered that they were in a bet-' ter position to know the financial re sponsibility of the sureties on the bond than the Attorney-General. He had to be governed entirely by affida vits and those presented to him were very strong, and scarcely left him any alternative. Our purpose in mentioning this matter, however, is not to either com mend or condemn the course of At torney-General, but to call the Comp troller-General's attention to some figures presented in the affidavits sub mitted to the Attorney-General as to what the sureties on the bond are worth, and also to the figures in the certificates of the auditor, treasurer, and clerk of court on the same subject. The comptroller has shown a very earnest and proper desire to have bank stock returned at its true value. Nov.' let us have things done fairly. No body connected in any way with this newspaper owns any bank stock; but we want to see justice done the banks as well as individuals; and if the Comptroller-General is looking im partially for evidence in the matter of assessments it seems to us he could find some in the facts set forth in this Keels case. According to the county commis sioners, the total alue of property re turned by the surt Ies is $24,640, in which there are homestead exemp tions amounting to $13,500-leaving only $11,140. And the clerk of court finds in his office judgments against several of the bondsmen amounting to over $5,000. So there is left about $6,000 worth of property to stand lia ble for a $20,000 bond. The most interesting part of the whole transaction, though, is a com parison of values as they appear in assessments for taxation and as they appear in the affidavits. For in stance: Joseph E. Wilson, one of the sureties, returns his property for taxation at $6,590-G. M. Barrett swears "I con sider the said J. E Wilson fully worth $15,000, exclusive of debt and proper ty exempt by law from levy and sale." M. J. Keels returns his property for taxation at $600-J. W. Wilson savs on oath that Mr. Keels is "worth $2,500 over and above all liabilities." K. Pennington returns his proper ty for taxation at $280-T. B. Rhame says on oath that Mr. Pennington is worth over $5,000. Jacob Keels returns his property at $6,200-Mr. Carraway swears that Mr. Keels "is worth $10,000, at least, over and above all liabilities." And so it goes. The following ta ble is is a good object lesson: Bondsmen. Pay taxes on Worth. Jos. E. Wilson........S6,590 S15,000 M. L. Keels ...........60 ,0 K. Pennington........28 ,0 Jacob Keels..........000 1,0 R. F. Keels..........410 0,0 E. .J. Goodman.......1,40 3,0 J. T. Truluck......... 2,850 0,000 It is true that some of the bonds men ma~y own property and pay tax es outside of Sumter county and some may own bank stock upon which the banks pay taxes; but we venture to say that this would cover a very small portion. According to the affidavits, these sureties on Mr. Keels's bond pay taxes on less than half the value of their property.-euberryI Observer'. [(Yer York. Herald.] The Negro. Dr. Parkhurst went to Nashville for a visit and came away asking why there are no blacks in the Tennessee Legislature. The editor of the Chistian Advocate replies in true Yankee style, saying he will enlighten Dr. Parkhurst on this point "provided he will first tell us why there is no negro in President Harrison's Cabinet." There is a good deal of twaddle on this negro question. Some people, wvho have sentiment, think the black man ought to have office because he is black. Others, who have prejudice, think he ought not to have office for the same reason. But neither senti meut nor prejudice should have any influence in our attitude toward the colored people. The voters of Tennessee, white and black, could send a negro to the Leg islature if they wanted to. If they don't want to that is their business and not ours. President Harrison( was at liberty to choose a cabinet of ficer from the colored race, but he didn't choose to do so, and that ends it. He thought that on the whole it wasn't the best thing to do, and as he was elected to do the best thing he could it is nobody's affair that he pre ferred Blaine, Windomn, Tracy, and the rest. The negro has his chance. The laws protect and the spirit of the times encourages him. If he has any stuff in him it will come out by and by. He is on a par witn all the rest of us who have to roll up our sleeves and go to work for a living. We must fight our way and why shouldn't he? It is a free race for everybody, and the man who has the mettle, whether he is black, white, or vellowv, will take the lead. If the negro keeps up the procession, all right; if he falls1 to the rear there is no reason why the other fellows should pay his scout out of their hard earned dollars. Give him fair play and after that let him alone. That is the universal rule, and he should be made no ex ception by being either crowded to the wall or fed on sugar plums.
