THE McGILL FAMILY TREE. IT IS A CREDITABLE PIECE OF WOT K. Two Hundred and Eighty Descendants 4 From Captain William and Martha Henry McGill. An Old Family. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Etta Jane, Nov. 18.—According to promise we give this week an ac count of the McGill family tree painted by Miss R. Emma Kennedy, of Yorkville, who is also a grand daughter of John McGill. This tree represents one of the oldest, most influential and numer ous family connections the Eastern Cherokee and Western York, and its publication will no doubt be interest ing to many of the relatives, friends and acquaintances who are The Led ger’s patrons To Miss Hell Plaxico, of Kings Creek, I am greatly indebted for the help she has given me in getting the list of the families from the tree. She is one of Cherokee’s most ex cellent young ladies and also a de scendant of the McGill family. There may be some omission of, or misspelled names, but in the main the tree as a family record is almost absolutely correct. A photograph of this tree can he seen in Mr. R. M. IMuxieo’s parlor. It reflects credit on the skill and in genuity of the fair hand that painted the original. We hope the young ladies of Cherokee county (and else where) will follow Miss Kennedy’s example and thus preserve family records that will prove a source of satisfaction to corning generations. The trunk, or bodr, of the tree represents tiie man and wife (Captain William and Martha Henry McGill.) Capt. Wm. McGill is the father, grand-father great-grand-father, etc., of the family. Capt. McGill was born December 25th, 1775; married April 1804, died Aug. 25, 18(58. He was the father of fourteen children and therefore there are fourteen branches on the tree, the oldest child being the first or lower branch, that one being Elizabeth McGill McElwee, next Jas. H. McGill, Jno. McGill, William McGill, Infant, Thus. Mc Gill, Infant, Mary McGill Caldwell, Jas. Henry McGill, Infant, Martha S. McGill, Adam A. Jackson McGill, Jane Caroline McGill, Whitesides, Emeline McGill Glenn, Isabella Mc Gill Simril. And each of these branches has other branches extend ing from that branch representing his or her children, and so does these branches (last branch mentioned) have branches and so on, so far as the generation has reached making a complete tree, Of course, some limbs have more branches than others, but some of the children have more children and grand chil dren than others, making the tree more natural, for if the tree had each limb just alike it would not be at all natural. Some of the children died while infants and of course these branches have no branches. The grand-children num ber sixty-five, great-grand-children 173, great-great-grand children twenty-eight and children fourteen, making a total of 280 children, and the two parents making a family of 282 members. The ones that are dead are marked thus * on the tree and can be seen in the photograph. The tree was drawn on a white sheet of paper with a pencil and was in a frame, I don’t know just the size but would guess about,44x20 inches being large enough for you to read the names at a little distance from it.

IFieUmont HeadliK’ltt.l M. O. Gentry this week married J. H. Link to Miss Lula Hudson; the latter from Chester and Mr. Link, a hand in Pacolet mill, and Hr. Link hired her as a domestic in his family. He did not know her befoie that time. After the ceremony Mr. Link carried his bride back home to her father. Jim Hudson, from Chester, came and demanded the woman, the wife of Walker Simpson. She then acknowledged that she had married Simpson about a year ago, but only lived witn him twenty-four hours, when Simpson’s brothers came and threatened to kill him if he did not leave the woman he married. Since that time she has had no home, and was roaming from ope cotton mill to another. Air. Link is at a loss to know what to do, but he is told that the marriage is not legal, he is free to marry any one he sees proper. The father of the woman has taken her away and Mr. Lick says he does not know where she is. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup cures the most stubborn coughs, colds and lung affections. Even incipient con sumption has been successfully cured by this marvelous remedy. Sufferers will obtain relief after a few doses.

It'taarU'ston Nows iin<l Courier. 1 In an editorial article under the head “About •Flanting’ Wheat” the the Abbeville Aledium, which prides itself on its agricultural information, critically remarks: .“The Cotton Plant and other news papers speak of ’planting’ wheat, and much information on the subject is published for the farmers. “The Aledium knows enough about farming not to say ‘plant’ wheat, the proper expression being ‘sow’ wheat. The farmers do not have much respect for the man who ‘plants’ his wheat instead of sowing it.” The Aledium is hypercritical in this matter, and is in error besides. Sowing is our mode of “planting,” to begin with, and may fairly be included under the more general term. But that is not all that is to he said. Speaking for ourselves, as one of the “other papers” alluded to, we may explain that we have used the word “planting” instead of “sowing” of deliberate purpose. “Sow,” according to the highest etymological authority, is derived from the Anglo-Saxon “sawan,” the equivalent of the Gothic “suian.” Welsh “hau,” German “saen,” Dan ish “saae,” Swedish “sada,” and Latin “satum,” all meaning to “spread,” to “scatter,” “to scatter seed on the ground “for the purpose of growth.” And that was just what we did not want the farmers to do. They have been scattering their seed wheat “on” the ground all these years, us a rule, and have made so poor crops in consequence that they have been led to form the opinion that the soil and climate of South Carolina “do “not suit wheat.” Our object was, and is, to get them to try, instead, the mode of proce dure usually followed by the expe rienced and successful wheat growers in other States and countries—the mode of literally “planting” the wheat, by means of drills, which de posit the seed in the ground, at a proper depth and in a position to in sure their being covered with earth and given a chance to germinate, strike root, and grow under the most favorable conditions. We have accordingly and invaria bly advised our farmers who intend to experiment with the wheat crop to “plant” their seed, instead of “sow ing” them, as they have usually done heretofore, and we are sure that it is good advice in nine cases in ten. We submit to our Abbeville con temporary, therefore, that “plant wheat” is not only a “proper expres sion,” but wise counsel, and that the farmers in this State who follow it will doubtless have far more respect for the wheat crop hereafter than they have ever had before—which is the end we are striving for.
