Bkacii Island, Oct. 15.
David Ardis was a native of Beech
Island, of an excellent and wealthy fam
ily, and married Clip Gray, wh i was a
drcconJant of thi. dd '‘.'abler stock. Mr.
Ardis was an educated "enlieman, a
good planter, a man of imslinehing in
tegrity. of great firmness of pjrp 'Sg,
and oi lh,* higlioEt order efinopi eeur-
age, and, wi l* all. a consistent and en
lightened Ct>: Vth.n. Hs was for many
years one <d the el icrs in the I’resbyie-
riai; Church, lie reuioved into Beoch
Island about {.wen 1 y ..even years ago into
Georgia and subserpitutly into Aiabauia,
where he di<'d. He leit a wide gap
when ho went away from us, and his
loss was much regretted. None of his
descendants are living here at the pres
ent time. *
Stephen Wilson came from North
Carolina to Beech Island when a boy.
and married Miss Betsey Prior from
the Hollow Creek neighborhood. Mr.
Wjlsvu was a man for whom nature had
d n.e much by endowing him with a re
markably line physique and great natur
al ability ; and although an unlettered
man, he was an unexceptionable business
in.iti, possessing much shrewdness and
business capacity. He accumulated a
hue fortune for the times by his owu
unaided efforts. Although a man of
prejudices, yet he was ever
■.nd just in hi.- dealings

Ou the 8th of l«st August a colored
man who was fropi Aiken county, S. C.,
and gave his mine as Japies Stephens,
while.in the store i<f Mr. D, Stellings.
on Broad street, a.-ked Mr.Stcllit gs if he
i!>d mt want to purchase same Aiken
county school scrip. Mr. Stcllings said
he did not, but directed him to the
office of Mr. G. P. Curry, broker.—
Mephens proceeded to Mr. Cu.ry.s and
presented him a scrip lor thirty five
d dlars, issued to him (he is a school
teacher in Aiken county) and purport
ing 10 be signed by the three l-ehoo]
Trustees of a emtain bisirkl, whose
signatures were attested by a magistrate
and certified to as correct by Her. J. 0.
Browne, School Commissioner of Aiken
c unty. Mr. Curry bid wiitten to Mr.
Browne semo time previously in refer
ence to other scrip, and Mr. Browne re
plied that all serin certified to by him
were all right and would be paid in the
Full when tin taxes came* in. Think
ing that the s ;p now tendered was gen
uine, Nr. Curry raid he would buy it,
and oflVred Stephens (ifi; cents on the
dollar for it. This < ftVr, after some do.
mur, Stephens accepted, and was paid
£17.f>0 by Mr. Curry. Stephens then
said that he knew other panics in his
t-etlion who held scrip and would like to
soil it, as they could only exchange it
with the merhnautti iu thei: neighbor
hood for provisions and could not get
money for it. Mr. Curry told him that
ho could purchase it, and Stephens then
left, promising to return. On the 20th
of August lie did return, bringing six
scrip, in ail .?i85, purporting to be
signed by the school trustees in the
several districts, and certified to bv the
tf
County School Commissioner. Kadi al
so contained a written authority fr.un
the school teacher, to whom it purport
ed to have been issued, to Stephens to
sell the scrip and receive the money.
Mr. Curry bought the scrip, giving
SteplKui.- $92.50. The following Sat
urday Stephens returned once more,
bringing scrip for 825, for which he
received 017.50, making the total
