Etta Jaxe, Sept. 5.—I spent
Thursday night, August Kith, with
Mr. J. B. Foster and family, and as
the next day was rainy I did not get
off untill p. m., when I went to
Brown’s store when a meeting had
been appointed for the campaigners
that forenoon. I met Mr. Wilkins
Brown and several of his neighbors
who had gathered in to hear the
chin music of the office-seekers and
had been somewhat disappointed as | the horse tracks
they (or a good many of them) had ! she had found the
already met and disbanded. Here I
met Mr. Spake the veteran black
smith of South west Cherokee, and
who is one of the oldest permanent
settlers of Ravenna. He still plys
his vocation to the satisfaction of his
customers. Brown’s store is head
quarters for that Ravenna section.
From Brown’s I made my way to
White Plains via Goucher creek
church, stopping on my way at Capt.
J. B. Brown s who lives in one of the
finest sections of our new county.
Or. at least, it compares favorably
with any other portion of it 1 have
seen. Goucher creeK church is an
old established place of worship and
a comfortable school building stands
at the edge of the yard where Miss
Brown, daughter of Capt. J. B. Brown
is now teaching school. The almost
incessant rainfall have left the road
in an almost impassible condition.
But I wondered my way on past the
home of that jolly good fellow and
noble citizen, Ben. F. Bonner, who is
one of the leading citizens of White
Plains township. I rested and chat
ted with him for a few moments.
His farm lies on Goucher creek and,
like my friend Capt. J. B. Brown and
others whom I passed, he has a fine
crop of corn on it. Here he pointed
out tiie old Thickety fort that played
a prominent part in Revolutionary
times. It stamles near Mr. Bonner’s
house and there are some traces of it
there yet. It was doubtless at or
near this place that Miss Annie Ken
nedy got her information from a sick
soldier as to tiie direction of Gen. Mor
gan’s army when that heroine made
her perilous trip carrying to the hero of
Cowpens the message apprising him
of the pursuit of the lories, or loy
alists who were to co-operate with
Turletn and crush him and his gallant
little army, and thus gain an indis
putable control of South Carolina.
If our readers will pardon the di
gression I will give an account of this
incident for the benefit of our young
students of history.
While Morgan was in this section
recruiting his army and horses during
the winter of 1781, the British sent
out forces from Xinety-six and Caui-
dem with a view of capturing him.
Cornwallis had laid the plans and
left then for Tarlcton to execute,
Simultaneously the movements be
gan early in January of that year.
The whole county w.as aroused and
the loyalists too, were anxious to get
rid of this pestiferous neighbor.
Couriers were sent out in every di
rection to gather the loyal sympa
thizers and get their support. The
British troops had already crossed
the Pacolet river on their march and
the loyalists were flocking to thiir
standard. This state of affairs < x-
isted in Union. Xewberry, Laurens
and the lower section of Spartanburg
counties. The Kennedy family lived
not far from the present site of Jones-
ville, and they were true patriots—
especially the female members as is
usually the case in such times and
on such occasions. The elder Ken
nedy had been persecuted by the
British and their allies and was in
such a condition as to be entirely
helpless. But his daughter, Miss
Annie, was tqual to the emergency.
The moving of the armies and the
jubilant nature of the loyalists led
them in a large measure to disclose
their plans which were that Tarlcton
was to circumvent Morgan and put
his army in front of him and prevent
his escape into Xorth Carolina. He
was to hold Morgan in check without
offering him battle until the allied
forces of the British could get up and
then the attack was to be made on
Morgan’s force from front and rear
at the sam«- time. By some means
the plans were made known to the
Kennedy family, and our little hero
ine, Miss Annie Kennedy, undertook
‘be perilous task if relieving the
situation. Mounting (he best horse
on the plantation she concealed a
pistol in her bosom and started on
her perilous journey. Crossing Pacolet
ut Grindul’s Ford she soon come upon
the rendezvous of the lories who were
encamped not for from where Mr. Due-
bin Littlejon now lives. They had
killed a turkey and were quarrelling
over it. She knew some of them.
They were her neighbors. Drawing
her bonnet over her face us well us
she could she managed to pass them
without being recognized. As soon
as she was out of sight site put lash
to her horse and was soon out of
danger of pursuit. She knew that
a detachment of British troops was
between fter and Morgan's army.
But undaunted she pursued on,hoping
by some means to be able to puss
around them and accomplish her
mission. This site managed to do.
Stopping ut the home of a man by the
name of Bryant, near Goucher creek,
He ploughed on through the inky
darkness while the stillness of the
night was broken only by the barking
of the faithful watch dog or the boot
ing of the solitary owl as it sung its
lone-lr requiem until she suddenly
come upon a stream of which she had
not been, told (this was evidently
Big Thickety). Here she dismoun
ted. She had missed her way,
but, undaunted, the noble girl re
turned to hunt, her road. Coming to
an opening which resembled a road
she dismounted and after feeling for
discovered that
road the army
had traveled. Again mounting her
liorse she turned his head into the
newly discovered road and give him
the reins, and the usual cluck that
encouraged him to press forward
with head erect, nostrils dilated and
eyes Hashing fire he sprung forward
with all of his might hearing his load
of precious freight. Over hill and
dale he went like a tornado while the
fire rolled from the rocks crushed by
his iron heels. His rider sat erect
whiW* the frosty winds fanned her
rosy cheeks and her noble and pa
triotic heart beat with highest im
pulse. The clattering of his hoofs
aroused a faithful watch dog as he
kept vigil over the home of his mas
ter. Reining her horse aside to the
humble cottage that nestled among
the towering oaks she called out to
the inmates. The trembling voice of
a frightened woman answered her,
and told her that General Morgan’s
men were within n few miles of her 1
ilirection of Xorth Carolina and as 1
best she couldjgivejthe nocturnal visi
tor directions how she could reach
Morgan's headquarters by the strait-
est and suftest route. Soon our hero
ine was in the road pressing on to her
destination. Suddenly ‘Halt!” come
from a sentinal at the roadside, to
which Mie paid no attention, but
flitted by like an arrow, only to be
stopped by a cordon of American
bayonets at picket headquarters,
without disclosing her mission she
asked to be escorted to General
Morgan’s headquarters. This was
done and she was treated with all
the courtesy and politeness that our
American soldier and gentleman
could command. Her message was
gladly received and the necessary
precaution taken to prevent a sur
prise and defeat, of the American
army.
As soon as she had warmed and re
freshed herself upon such articles as
the soldier’s laider furnished, her
horse had been fed and her message
delivered she was sent with an escort
under Lieutenant Patterson, of Mc
Call's cavalry, who conducted her to
the western side of Pacolet river
crossing at a lord near where Clifton
Xo. 3 uow stands. She then returned
to her home and the troops to their
camp. Miss Kennedy reached bar
home that evening and gave an ac
count of her adventure. General
Morgan began preparing for the bat-
and tiie next morning, after her re
turn home Miss Annie Kennedy was
aroused from slumberby the boom of
cannon, the roar of musketry and
the shouts of charging squadrons
which announced the fact that the
battle of Cowpens was on in all of its
fury. The sun that rose that morn
ing on a ghastly field went down on a
free and independent notion (fiat
night.
This, in, brief, is the story of Miss
Annie Kennedy, one of Xorth Caro
lina’s noblest girls. But to our nar
ration. I went to Mr. W. A. Don
ald’s that night and to the White
Plains meeting tiie next day where
we met a full turn out of the voters
of that section, perhaps 250 or 3U0 in
number. The grounds selected for
the speaking and barbecue was in a
beautiful grove under a brush arbor
used by the Shiloh congregation as
a place of worship. The Reynolds
boys hud prepared a first class bar
becue for the occasion. During the
day the speakers went into the house
to escape the rain which fell in tor
rents at times. Mr. E l. H. DeCamp
spoke ut that meeting in favor of
Prohibition. His address was well
received by the crowd. The meeting
closed about 5 o’clock in ihe after
noon and I took the nigiit with .Mr.
Robert H. Taylor. During tiie day
I called upon Magistrate Lee and
hud a pleasant talk with him. Next
day I went to Macedonia church
where a protracted meeting was ill
progress. On my way there I crossed
little Thickety ut Tinoall’s mill now
owned by .Mr. Lipscomb and operated
by Mr. Thomson. This is, beyond
doubt, one of the oldest mill sites in
upper South Carolina. The walls
and building show signs of great
antiquity and it bus a fine patron
age. The seel ion of country about
there is a fine farming section and
fanners have the promise of an
abundance crop this year, of both
corn and cotton to which we might
add sugar cane. The people of that
section, us well as that along tiie
route to Macedonia are a thrifty, en
ergetic people and are apparently in
easy circumstances most of them at
least.
From Macedonia church wo wen

we went to tiie Blacksburg meeting on

A Hmugaroo Colutvy Near London.
If we were to break suddenly upon a
London cyclist and tell him that with
in 20 mikst of his great city there was a
colony of wild kangaroos, he would
piobubly either regard us as perverters
of the truth or of beiug ki immediate
need of a straitjacket. Yet we are as
sured cn the highest authority that such
is the cuse, the colotty acisting ou Leith
Hill common. About 14 years ago some
kangaroos escaped from Weottou House,
where they had been kept in confine
ment. They took up tbrir quarters near
Leith hill and have retrained and mul
tiplied there ever stnoe. It seems strange
that such emblems of the far west
should exist in a wild stole where the
great throb of Loudon miftit almost be
felt and where the hum of the wheel
during the .summer months is almost an
