' * ' YN - *-.w> HAII.K GOLD MINK WILL Old Document of Once Valuable Property Published in Year 1H45 A. P. DuBose, writing in the Greenville News of July 24, furnishes that paper additional interesting information on the old Haile Gold Mine located in Lancaster county : I he article in last Sunday's News in reference to the Haile Gold Mine .vas very interesting but there was riror in the statement that this prop<rty passed to the heirs of lienjatnin Haile without his knowledge of val uable gold deposits on the land. Benjamin Haile moved to Lancaster district from Virginia when a young man, having at the time only one slave and a small amount of cash. He purchased a small tract of land and soon afterwards discovered gold on this property. He and the slave com me need to dig the gold and the mine paid large dividends for the many remaining years of Mr. Haile's life. The last will and testament of Benjamin 1 haile dated May 6, 1846 in Items 8 arid !) makes the following disposition of the gold mine and some of his other property: "Eighth. i give and bequeath to my son, William Haile, all those two several plantations or tracts of land lying on Little Lynches creek, one of which was purchased by me from Marshall Gainer and others, containing two thousand four hundred and sixty-three acres, also the land purchased by me from -^benjamin Binham containing twelve hundred and fifty acres also all the land purchased of Thomas Welch in Kershaw and Lancaster districts (with the exception of such of the gold mines as are hereafter given to Edward) on which the gold mines are situated, containing three thousand six hundred and sixty-four acres, also the land adjoining the above purchased of Hugh Davidson, containing one thousand and eighty-five acreR, also the Hanging Hock mill tract containing three hundred acres, purchased at sheriff's sale as Mahafy property, also a tract lying both sides of Little Lynches creek granted to myself containing five hundred acres, more or less. 1 also give to my son, William .'14 negro slaves, also one half of all my stock of horses, mules, cattle hogs and sheep which aYe or may be remaining on either or both sides -of?my Lynches crek plantations and also one half of all the corn, provisions and provender which may be remaining on either or both of my said plantations. "Ninth. I give and bequeath to my sons, William and Edward jointly, the gold mines situated in Lancaster district on the Welch tract of land together with all t'he mills and appurtanences thereto belonging, to use the same in common with an equal right of way, water and timber too and to divide equally the profits arising therefrom notwithstanding the lands on which they are situated have in another clause been given to William generally." ? It is interesting to note in this connection t"hat in this will the testator makes bequest to twelve surviving children and to two grandchildren. The will also indicates in what esteem farming was held in those days for the testator does not refer to himself as a mine owner or capitalist but says: "I, Benjamin Haile, of t'he Town of Camden, Start? of South Carolina, planter, do hereby publish and declare this writing to be and contain my last will and testament." Origin of Term "Lynch Law'! | Do you know the origin of the term "Lynch law?" asks a current writer. This phrase is now synonymous with "mob law," but originally it referred to executing a sentence which duly consituted authorities had failed to carry out. It seemr that in the 16th century the then mayor of Galway, Ireland, Mr. James Lynch, and his son had a house gu?st, a young Spaniard. The ' two young men were close friends, but in a quarrel about a woman the Irish lad stabbed and killed the guest. The father had to act as judge of the trial, which resulted in murder? and he pronounced sentence of death according to English law, although Irish custom would have been more lenient. The boy's mother roused all her kindred against the decree and no om could be found to carry out the sen tence. Then James Lynch himsel! took h.s son through the crowd up t< the tower and hanged him. Lynch then returned home, shu himself up, and never again set foo1 out of his own door.
