Where Nesbit Kan the Cherokee
Works.
The Spnrtnnbuip correspondent of
the Nows und Courier in the issue of
the 14th inst., writes ns follows:
As to tho new county of Limestone
the proper name lias been suggested.
That is a historic place. About 1822
to 1830 ipi iron manufacturer by the
name of Nesbitt bad charge of the
Cherokee Ford Iron Works. It was
hardly considered safe for people to
live on the river during tho summer.
Mr. Nesbitt in looking around for a
summer homo selected the place
where the famous hotel was built sev-
I think his name
Nesbitt. Ilewasaprom-
i incut man and his descendants are,
! perhaps, in CJeorgia now. He first
! built a two-story log house, which
i was afterwards added to and im
proved. Attention was soon called
to the beautiful location, tho big
spring, or springs, for there were sev
eral of them, and the large beds of
marble and limestone.
About 1830 tho hotel was projected
I and it was built a few years later. It
was a joint stock concern. The run
l of custom was wonderful, considering
that all guests, however far they
came, rolled in on wheels, or rode on
| horseback. For two or three years
j they held high carnival there for
about three months. The company
broke and the hotel ceased to draw
j crowds. For six or eight years it was
kept nominally open, hut did not pay
! interest on the investment. The
property fell into the hands of the
llunk of the State, I think, and Dr.
i Thomas Curtis and son bought it in
j 1844 or 1845. The war closed the
! school. The property changed hands
a time or two after the war. The old
! hotel is now the property of the I>ap-
| lists of this county, and they are car-
• { rying on a good and prosperous fe
male school there under the presi-
Such is the
is to give
name to the new county. Tho big
spring is about a mile and a half from
the town of Gaffney, which is to he
the county site. Gaffney is on a
! high ridge, or rather plain, with land
: gently sloping in several directions.
It is nearly in the centre of the new
i territory and is admirably situated
for a county seat.

OH THEIR WAY TO GAFFNEY.
•
They will be on exhibition for the
ladies only. Jt will cost nothing to
look at them, hut as they arc curios-
Ldit'S you may ho benefited.
They are handsomely decorated
elegantly and artistically designed,
and if you see fit to carry one of these
visitors home with you, it is alright.
They have gone to many a lady’s
house and you never had a better
friend visit you than one of these.
They visit the best of families and
you would not have one of
them leave for anything. Now we
will toll what the above is. It is
nothing more than some more
of those Standard Sewing Machines.
We have them in Antique Gale, Syca
more, Ash and Maple woods, which
has the appearance of piano furni
ture. The cover and drawers are of
the special, celebrated bentwood and
the shelves are metal, nicklo plated
in front.
They also have a new set of steel
attachments, different to anything
you ever saw.
If you buy a Standard you will re
ceive careful instructions from a
compident teacher at your home.

No Argument in This.
One pretended argument used
against the formation of a new county
is that the amount pledged for the
public buildings by tho citizens of
Gaffney is insufficient. We beg to
submit the following in reference
thereto:
Blacksburg. S. C., Oct. 1G, 1890.
EJ. 11. DeCamp, Gaffney, S. C:
“I was one of the hoard of county
commissioners that built tho court
house at Yorkville. The Spratt Ma
chine Co., of Fort Mill, had tho con
tract to build the court house. The
contract was hid off at $9,974, but
we made some cuts on the holding
and got the main building for $9,200.
I have not got the dimensions.”
Respectfully,
E. R. Safocii.
Anyone who lias ever visited York
ville will be compelled to admit that
her court house is not only archi-
tectually beautiful, hot that it has
all the modern conveniences. Gaff
ney will furnish one equal, if not su
perior to it.
If you doubt the authenticity of
the above statement, call on us; we
have Mr. Sapoch’s letter on file.

A Hog With Hydrophobia.
L. B. Davis, who lives about five
miles west of this city had a dog to
bite a hog about September 1st. He
feared the dog was mad so killed
it. Last Wednesday tho hog
showed unmistakable evide’j^co of hy
drophobia. It would bite and attack
everything in its path. Finally it
got hold of a buggy spring and had
to he beaten oil with a stick. Mr.
Davis was forced to kill the hog,
using an ax for tho purpose.
