PC Court Record Should Improve In Coming Games The Blue Rose basketballers from Presbyterian College, now standing at 3-3 for the Christmas holiday break, should have a good chance of Improving that record when action is renewed. The Hose men should be able to battle their next six opponents on even terms, since none of these fees could be tagged as powers in small college basket ball. The PC quintet will see ac tion after the break with a Janu ary 4 trip to Charlotte College, followed by bouts with Georgia State (1), Shorter, Newberry, and Piedmont. Clinton fans will get to see the Hose again on January 13 when the Georgia State Panthers visit LeRoy Springs Gym. Any forecasting for the Pres byterians during the second se mester’s activity comes to an abrupt halt however, when the January II game pops up. On that Monday night the How Jour ney to Davidson to tangle with the Wildcats—who were picked by Sports Illustrated as the num ber-one team In the nation in Although founded a compara tively short <B years ago, the town of Saluda and the immedi ate area has a history that goes back many generations before that. The territory from which it was formed was formerly the Saluda section of old Edgefield- The Cherokee Indians ohen made their homes throughout this area, and particularly up and down the Saluda River, which in Cherokee meant “River of Corn.” Directly through this area passes the Cherokee Road, a former Idian trail that connect ed the up country and low coun try of the Palmetto State. Saluda County was primarily settled by emigrants from Vir ginia and Pennsylvania, and the three main groups wen: The Cavaliers, the Scotch-Irtah and the Dutch. This was and still is excellent agricultural land, ^nd the fanners prospered..' Toddy, Saluda County Is known as the County of I P's— Poultry.

Charles is a a tain, Adam Is a Quillen is a One of the most important events in South Carolina history ocurred in Saluda County, and many of jus are probably not even aware of tt. In 1733. the Saluda Old Town Treaty was signed between the Cherokees sod His Majesty’s Government of Great Britain, coding Is ~ the territory whfll MW ct the counties «f _ Cherohse (west of Brood Rlv er). Union, Newberry, Laurens, Greenwood, Abbeville, McCor mick. Edgefield, Saluda and a part of Aiken. The Treaty was negotiated by then Governor Glen, represent ing the King of England, and Old Hop and other chiefs of the Cherokee Nation. Gov. Glenn came up from Charleston with about 500 militia, and met with the Chiefs on the west bank of the Big Saluda River on the old Hagood Place. About 900 Chero kee Braves were present, and to gether the British and the In dians feasted and conferred for a whole week, amidst much pomp, protocol and ceremony. Many of the details concerning this famous, history - making treaty came to us Cram research and writing by a Saluda citizen, Motte J. Yarbrough, and also from Chapman’s “History of Edgefield County.” They tell us that the King of England had Glen give the Cherokees about 32.300 in gifts, and that Glen spent some $3,000 to host the as semblage of 1,000 during the 7- day feast. Old Hop, the Indian Chief, took some earth and placed tt at Gov. Glen’s feet, signifying that they gave their lands to Great Brit ain’s King. Following the signing of the treaty, settlers were more secure and could sleep at night with less fear of Indian raids. It further assured the British that, after Braddock’s defeat In the French and Indian War, the set tlers would remain loyal to the Crown until they were firmly established in America. Sadly enough, there Is no spec ial commemoration or observ ance of this famous Saluda Old Town Treaty, and possibly day in the future, minded ettisens of the area will see fit to establish some event, to be held each year on July X calling attention to the history that was made here more than two centuries ago. Many distinguished South Carolinians lived and they made contributions, to America’s story. The old Butter Burying Ground, about miles from Saluda, holds the re mains of soldiers of the War of 1312, the Indian Wars, the Mexi can War, War Between the States and the Revolution. Bu ried here is James Butter, who fought against the Cherokees in 1776, and joined the Revolution in 1779 pnder General IJnooln near Augusta, Ga. After Charles ton fell, he was put in prison for refusing to swear allegiance to the British Crown. Major General William Butler, James son, is also buried here. He had been a captain in the Revolution, although just a young boy, and was later elected Sheriff of the Ninety-Six Dis trict, and in that position escort ed General George Washington on his tour of South Carolina. Even later, General Butter was one of the framers of South Carolina’s Constitution. Much Is to be learned from a visit to Saluda, and you’ll find the friendly people eager to wel come you to their community.
