V 6 THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., OCTOBER 27, 1898. HEROES OF OUR T VVI STORIES OF THEIR NERVY DEEDS IN ASIATIC WATERS. 'Tile Flrut Clunli Anierlonn r itiKt-na ntnl tlio< h 1 »«•■«•—How Com* ■nnnclor Cilynn Mrnuulit the Jupn- nene OttleiulM to Terma. A DIFFICULT QUESTION. The first passage at arms between American citizens anti Chinese was in 180!), when Mr. J. P. Sturgis of Boston arrived in the ship Atahnalpa, Captain Bacon, at Macao. The terrible Chinese pirate Apootsae was then ravaging the ooast, capturing imperial forts, laying whole towns under contribution, mas sacring those who opposed him and ter rorizing the mandarins. In vain were rewards offered for his head. Having watched and seen the chief officer and an armed boat’s crew leaving the Ata hnalpa for the city to obtain a river pilot, he thought the capture of the foreign deviT's ship wguld be easy. Ranging his junks under color of mov ing up the river and feigning to run past the American ship, the pirates suddenly rounded, expecting to leap ou board and kill the IS or 20 men left there. Instead of quick success the Chinaman caught a Tartar. Astounded as the Yankees were, their cannon were fortunately loaded, and they ma le lively use of them, and with Brown Bess muskets, horse pistols and boarding pikes defended themselves with spirit. The Chinese threw on deck plenty of those homemade baud grenades . which, owing to the quantity of sulphur ia the powder, were uupoetieally term ed “stinkpots,” but they killed none of their foes. Amid the shrieks and groans of their wounded a hellish din with pongs and drums was kept up. The Yan kees fired with such effect that the Chi nese were beaten off. Apootsae called away his men, and his ships were soon lost to sight. This episode put such courage into the cowardly mandarins that, by means of bribery and treachery, they secured the cutthroat Apootsae and had h ini put to death by the slow and prolonged process of backing, called “the thousand cuts. ” From this time forth there was intense respect for Americans at Canton and Macao, and business increased with little interrup tion. The following is an interesting and dramatic early naval incident that oc curred in Japanese waters: 'Captain Ueisinger, formerly of the Peacock, hearing from the Dutch consul at Canton of 18 sailors imprisoned at Nagasaki, ordered commander Glynn in the United States brig Preble to rescue them. At this time the seas were so lit tle known, the charts so imperfect and the season so inclement that naval men at Hongkong laughed at the idea of the little 14 gun brig ever arriving at her destination. At Napa, in the Loo-Choo islands, the natives openly scorned the notion of Glynn being able to do any thing, when, in the “Japanese victory over the Americans”—referring to the episode in Yesso bay—a ship of the line and a sloop of war had been “driven away.” All this put Glynn on his mettle. ''Beaching Nagasaki, bedashed through thecoidou of boats and dropped anchor ■within range of the city suburbs. The boom of the cannon announcing his ar- • rival was sweet music to the American sailors in prison. Boarded by a chief interpreter with attendants, who in quired his business, Glynn was ordered t to leave the waters of Japan at once, le American’s immediate reply was lat his mission was to the government, then rather ostentatiously he gave the rder to heave anchor, spread sail and love forward. Visions of involuntary ira kiri at once excited the Japanese i voluble protests. Nevertheless Glynn loved into the inner harbor and an chored within 20U yards of the bat teries on either side of the anchorage. LHe refused to see auybody but the gov- lor, sending word that he would not ive until he had obtained the Aineri- seameu ou deck. He demanded their imediate release. Furthermore, he ide it plain that if the cordon of boats ras not quickly brokeu up he would [)low them out of the water. .During the nine days the Preble re- lined a great army of soldiers gath- ted. Extra guns to the number of GO were mounted, any one of which, right- trained, might have suuk the Preble, .in spite of the glittering arms, the fight and variegated colors of the idal banners and the military and Lval flags, the American commander, lile granting a little longer time, re- to modify his request. Half his fcw were on deck all the time, and ev- precaution against surprise and latiou for attack was made. Glynn [seconded by Lieutenant Silas Bent, lew governor qame into office. Vis- I Glynn in the cabin, ho asked for j days more time. Making an end ivity of manner, Glynn dashed bis |pon the table and exclaimed, “Not sr hour 1” Nor should the governor ay of the party leave the ship till an answer. Instantly the excited stood up, the interpreter tell imandcr Glynn that this was a and must not be so spoken i am I, ” retorted Glynn. “I rep I the government of the United A parley was then asked for i Japanese.

Monday.morning Chief of Police Camp notified A. J. Settlemyer, Mrs. Molly Settlemyer and Link Settle- myer to appear before the Mayor in bis court room at 10 o’clock a. m. to answer to the charge of retailing liquor. The parties were present and the case called. The defendants asked for a continuous on account of the absence of their attorneys, which was granted until 3 o’clock p. m. Promptly at 3 p. m. the court convened, the defendands and their attorneys, Butler and Osborne, were present, and the trial of the case was at once commenced. City Attorney J. C. Jefferies appeared for the city. A number of witness were sworn, snd as is usual in such cases, their statements were rather grudgingly made. The court adjoined at 5 o’clock p. m. till 9 o’clock a. m. Tuesday when it promptly convined. The evidence all being in. the attorneys for both sides made able arguments. The evidence however prevailed, and the Mayor adjudging Mrs. Molly Settle- myer and Link Settlemyer guilty as charged sentenced each one of them to thirty days, or to pay a fine of •flUO dollars. A. J. Settlemyer was discharged. The attorneys for the defense as once gave notice cf appealed from the Mayor’s decision to t.ie full council and the time was set for yes terday morning at 9 o’clock a. m. When the case was called for trial Mr. Jefferies for the town took excep tion to Messrs. Butler it Osborne’s notice of appeal. Mr. Butler appear ing for the Settlemyers, took issue with him and the Mayor overruled Mr. Butler’s position and forced him to trial on the question of jurisdic- 1 tion altogether, which liadjbeen raised the day be.'ore, then the only ques tion for the full council to do was to pass on the question of jur.sdiction, and it was quite novel. Mr. Buthr claimed that the ordinance under which the defendants were held was of no effect, null and void, and that the Mayor had no jurisdiction and asked the fu'l court*.1 to reverse him in assuming jurisdiction. After hear ing argument from Mr. But'er for the defendants, and Mr. Jefferies for tha town, the i'ull council unani mously reversed the Mayor and the defendants were discharged. The question was a novel one in that Mr. Butler took the posit.on that inasmuch as the charter of the town did not confer on the council power to pass an ordinance against the sale of liquor they could not do so, re lying on the decision of Judge Benet and the decision of the supreme court in the case of city council of Florence vs. Blown, and the charters were almost id-ntically the same. The supreme court in that case with a divided court, sustained Judge Benet, and the defendant was dis charged. This is quite a new and interesting question and knocks out the town council from trying any one for selling liquor until a new or dinance against same is enacted. This is quite a victory for Messrs. Butler and Osborne and they were congratulated very much on the manner in which the case was con ducted. Our Tenant Farmers. The desirable tenant farmers in this section have all about rented for an other year. Most of them will work the same farms again. The less pro vident are always the last to rent and these are forcid to take what is left. These one and two horse far mers compose a large per cent of our best citizens and those of them who have had the foresight to buy lands, in addition to being independent, are fast forging to the front as oppulent and influential citizens. We long to see the Utne when all of our good, hardworking people will be tilling their own Upd. ♦ A Model Ginnery. A I.KDGEK'reprrsentative was shown through the model ginnery of T. G. McCraw a few weeks ago and was surprised to find in our midst such a complete establishment. The cot ton is taken from the wagon by suc tion and in fifteen or twenty minutes from the time the wagon is driven under the suction the bale of cotton is ginned and pressed for the market. Tom is a hustler and keeps up with 1 lies'* hustling times. One Good Resu'.t. Notwithstanding the fact that stolen goods were found by the police in the possession of some half dozen negroes lately, and that the goods were identified by our merchants, only two of them have been punished. The one with whom the most goods were found, is now free, and that without punishment. We notice however that the big crowd of negro vagabonds that have been infesting our streets lias been greatly reduced by being slightly flushed. - -«•*- * A Seizure of Liquors. Chief Camp siezed about fifteen gallons of whiskey lust Thursday at the Southern depot which had been shipped from Richmond. Vu., to A. J. Settlemeyer. The whiskey was in six beautiful jugs and carefully packed in a box and marked “ciga- retts,” but the accidental breaking of one of the jugs revealed the nature of I he contents of the “cigarette” box and caused the chief to fasten his official clutches on the “ciga rette” box, jugs and whiskey. -• •••► ► • A New Citizen. Herod Neale, late of York county, has moved to Gaffney. Mr. Neale was a member of Co. G., Palmetto Sharpshooters,in the Confederate war, and lost a leg in the battle of Seven Fines. He was for a long time pub lic auctioneer of York county, and conducted all the public sales. He says his got to be a very poor busi ness. as a county that raises its own bread don’t have many big land sales, and York does that. We welcome Mr. Neale. Do you get up with a headache?

Our familiar “Dear me!” is likewise merely a cor ruption of the Italian “Dio mio!” (“My God!”) and is an exact equivalent in every respect of the “Mon Dien!”of the French, the use of which on trivial occasions we English speakers are so ready to condemn. “Alas!” u mournful exclamation which I trust my young readers will seldom have occasion to employ, is also a shortened form of an Italian expression, “Oh, me lasso!” (“Oh, weary me!”).—Miss E.
