Thla episode happened when Rich
ard Covington's name, or picture,
headed every paper. For Diet Cov
ington, you recall, was one of our
very rich young men, and Ids ap
proaching marriage with this or that
heiress' constantly heralded. These
Huppoaed engagements having been
later denied, society immediately be
gan to speculate. /
The English woman whose hand ru
mor bestowed upon Richard hud fol
lowed him, it was related, to his own
country, and was now in seclusion
in an American village.
Now, whether this gossip might* be
true, society in general was anxious
to ascertain; reportera were the young
man's aversion, and no authentic in
terview had taken place.
Richard, on Ida return, made Bright
Fort by the sea bis stopping place,
and brought the Honorable Bertie with
him.
Dick expected to be bored, as usual;
but his second morning )n Bright Fort
changed this expectstlon.
Cantering down u leafy l*ne, he
came one day upon a witching young
creature. The girl's eyes twinkled at
him. and she spoke his name.
Richard, displeased at the uncon-
\enrtonal address, would have ridden
on hla way—but the girl smiled, ■
ruoer entrancing smile, and Richard
halted—and lingered. Though »ha
confessed *t« being a guest of the h«e
tel, Mlaa Ann frankly Informed him
that ahe waa not of hla daaa. Nor,
she saudly added did ahe car# tn be

TALES OF OLD BARNWELL,
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.j
rails were of wood. The mihature
engine that made the trip twice a
day was named for a little girl,
“Lula May.” In 1881 the old South
Carolina road bought the tramway
and constructed a branch to the town.
Among the early citizens of Barn
well was Angus Patterson, the nestor
of the bar for more than 40 years, a
shrewd, gentle, kindly man. He long
represented his district in the state
senate, and was for a number of
year* its presiding officre. In an
obscure corner of the senate chamber
hangs a portrait of the old gentle
man.
At a time when the rode duello was
the sine qua non of the rank of
gentlemen, that quiet village of the
plain was never the scene of a duel,
though even the gentle dignified Mr,
Patterson once indulged in a street
fight. The rauae waa—chickens! One
of his neighbor*, a fellow lawyer,
was Mr. Samuels, arm the two old
kindliest anj moat beloved of the vil
lage fathers. J ~
Some of the prominent lawyers of
tho place in former times were tj^a
two brothers, Alfred and /antes Al
drich, Mr. Owens, the brothers Angus
and James Patterson, Isaac Hutson,
Mr. Bellinger and many others who
were men of distinction. Barnwell
gav$ to the Secession convention its
speaker, D. F. Jamison; it furnished
the army with Gen. Johnson Hagood,
general and governor as well as suc
cessful business man and planter;
with frank Mixsoh, 16-year old sol
dier -of the Confederacy, w^o coolly
picked up a shell with lighted ami
rapidly burning fuse which had fall
en into the midst pf a group of sol
diers and threw it far away but n
second before it burst.
Company E, made up of Barnwell
boys, bad seven color bearers killed,
three of them were brothers. One
died holding so tenaciously to his flag
that it was necessary to wrest it by
force from his stiff hand. Of the
whole company after a disastrous bat
tle, one ijWm; Thompson, an<j one of
ficer, a young lieutenant, were left.
uteni
)im t
The officer, in a spirit of grim humor,
began issuing orders to Thompson by
name as though he were a company,
and Thompson w : th the same grim
humor was responding when a miflie
hall struck the lone soldier, leaving a
forlorn lieutenant alone of Company
1.
It is said that there is in BamweH
a grave of a Confederate soldier who
was bom north of the Mason an I ]
Dixon’s tine. His name was Frank
Cassidy. He went tn Beaufort in his
childhood to live with an unda. and
grew up into a genuine Southerner.|

Both Dr. and Mrs. Bethune Patterson
have contributed ta tome of the va
rious forms of literature. Mrs. Mary
C. Simms Oliphant, p granddfbghter
of the author, haa revised and brought
up to date the history of the State
written by her grandfather. These
are but a, few of the Barnwell County
people who have added something to
the literature of the State. William
H. Duncan, who died about three
years ago, left in manuscript a most
interesting and valuable historical
sketch of/the village of Barnwell to
which the present article owes much
of its data.
Some of the writers mentioned
were born and grew up in the district
of Barnwell, but are now to be reck
oned with the comparatively new
county of Bamberg, which some years
ago was separated from the former,
and named in honor of one of its lead
ing citizens, Gen. F. M. Bamberg,
who also adds luster to the mother
county.
Changes of County Seat.
During Reconstruction times a car
petbagger, Charles Leslie, member of
the legislature from the district, was
instrumental in having the county
seat removed from Barnwell village
to Blackville. Four times in eight
years was it changed hack and forth.
Finally in 1874 there was an ejection
held to determine which town should
have the court house. The ballot
boxes were brought into BarnweM,
which was the county seat at the
time. It being late before the last
one was received, it was determined
to lock them in a closet in a building
which stood on the northeast corner
of Main and Marlboro streets, in
which was located the olfice of county
clerk. They were to bo guarded
through the night by ail men. tHr -e

A Memorable Thrashing
»
If Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe
could have seen the thrashing that
as Richard rushed toward the girl. At
sight of him, Ann started, then smiled
In usual composure.
“Well?’ she asked him.
"It Is I," he said breathlessly, “who
ask the question. 'The hour is very
late. Ann; you are alone," he glanced
up to the balcony whence she had
come.
"I fell asleep on the rest room
couch," Ann pleasantly explained,
“and when they locked the ball rootrf,
they locked me in, So I climbed out
through the balcony window, and here
I am ” „
"Ann!” distress was In Richard's
tone. “Don't you think you owe it to
me to tell me something about your
self?
“I have loved you as you desired—
unquestioning. Now. 1 ask you to be
my wife.”
“Now?” repeated the girl softly—
She paused.
“I have told you of my humbleness
Richard, hut I think I have never been
so humble aa now, before your true
love”
From the fold of her fccarf, ahe drew
her own aiuall glistening fan. “1 am
jum a Journalist peraufi. Richard, sent
after the story* that other* failed is

he voluntarily resigned on account of

negro, Gid Hazel, always a free man,
^famous cook in the days when he
served the muster gatherings^ Dur
ing Reconstruction times Gid was a
partisan of the White people, and, un
like some of the former slaves, was
never influenced by the radicals, al
ways saying that the white folks
were his friends. Gid Jived to be al
most a hundred years old. There
