New York.—The relentless march of progress, until recently sparing of the older landmarks, which seemed se cure In the remoter regions of Staten Island, shortly will wipe out one of the last remaining relics of Revolu tionary days still standing within the ilimits of the olty of New York. The Black Horse tavern, at the In tersection of Amboy and Richmond roads, New Dorp, Staten Island, short ly will be razed to make way for the widening of Richmond road. Con demnation proceedings will be started soon and the building will he razed when the maps are finished and the contracts awarded by the borough of Richmond. The present owner of the faded and rambling frame structure which housed British officers during the Revolution Is Mrs. Catherine C. Curry. It became her property after the death of her husband, Patrick Curry, who went to Staten Island more titan forty years ago and opened a public house where more tban one not too elderly resident can recall having stopped to partake of the cup that cheers. Since Volstead days the house has been maintained as a private dwelling. Improvement Imperative. Because the Intersection at which the house stands has long been a blind corner and a peril to motorists the Improvement contemplated by the city became Imperative. A triangular slice of land, it will be cut Into two pieces, one part being used to widen Richmond road and the other to form a small plaza. The old tavern, portions of which have been Incorporated Into the pres ent building, has been celebrated In many legendary stories of Staten Island history. So legendary are some of these stories that It has been Impossible to verify them. It was In the latter part of the Revolution that Gen. William Howe, commauder of the British forces In the New York area, quartered some of his staff officers in the Black Horse. General Howe himself occu pied a house across the road, known as the Rose and Crown, and It was here that on July 4. 1770, he read the Declaration of Independence. At that time, history tells us, he remarked: “That document has been signed by very determined men.” The Rose and Crown long ago suf fered the fate now destined for the Black Horse. The appearance of the place has changed considerably since the days of 76. Still standing are three of the old rooms—the old tavern was a very small place—which now are utilised as living room, parlor and din ing room. Additions have been built from time to time, among them a comparatively modern dance hull. The original wooden sign, which bore the tlgure of a black horse and which Is now so weatherbeaten that only the faintest of markings can he discerned, Is In the possession of Mrs. Curry, • who has refused to p^irt with It de spite the pleas of a number of his torical societies. How It Got Its Name. It is related that on the occasion of a review of troops by Lord Richard Howe, brother of General Howe, a staff officer mounted his handsome horse to escort his superior and that the horse took fr^ht, dashing Itself and its rider against a high rock and killing both. At that moment the house, hitherto unnamed, was christened the Black Horse by fellow officers who witnessed the tragedy. William T. Davis, Staten Island his torian, recalled that for a short period of years prior to the purchase of the building by Patrick Curry It was used as a post office, and residents of the rural districts came from near and far to receive their mail. It Is told, without verification, that MaJ. John Andre, the officer delegated to assist In the treachery of Benedict Arnold, stopped at the Black Horse and executed his will there before Change in Prices. Simon Brown's Sons, of Blackville, have made the following changes in the prices for cucumber seed as ad vertised elsewhere in this issue: 1 to B lbs. at $1.15 per lb.; 5 to 25 lbs. at $1.10 per lb.; 25 to 100 lbs. at $1,00 per lb. Blackville Store Robbed. Blackville, Feb. 22.—Monday right thieves broke into the stores of J. C. Hoffman and N. Rosenblam. Entrance was effected in both cases by breaking starting out on his mission. jCuttis Family Slave Will Lie in Arlington Washington.—A place has been re served for humble Jim Pa^ks In the great Valhalla, where America’s dis tinguished dead lie. Uncle Jim, an «lgbty-four-year-old negro, will be buried In Arlington National cemetery when he dies. There he was born. ' No man, so the records show, out side of the army and navy, has been so honored in this day and genera tion, The War department has en tered a formal order that Uncle Jim he buried In Arlington. His forebears lie there, too. Unde Jim's years sre upon him, but he may be found almost any day at his tasks In Arlington. He knew the 1,100-acre reservation when It was an ante-bellum plantation. He was a slave here, the property of George Washington Pgrke Oustls, grandson of Martha Washington and adopted son of George Washington. Then he served Col. Robert E. Lee. Age Tomb Found Troyes, France.—A bronse Jo mb has bees discovered near the village of Barhoiase. It contalaed a woman's with a ■ ember of funeral Including three brooae brace- pin and two armlets the glass in the doors, the side door of the former and the front door of the latter. Holes were made large enough for a pttrsjm to enter. Mr. Hoffman is unable to estimate his loss, as it was in groceries. Mr. Rosenblam missed several pairs of trousers, some shoes ard shirts. No cash was taken from either store. Town officials have discovered no clue as to the identity of the rogues. ♦ ♦ ♦ CITATION NOTICE. The State of South Carolina, County of Barnwell. By John K.
