He Has Introduced a Bill to Pay
Southerners for Duties Performed
a Half Century Ago.
Washington. Jan. 19.—To accomp
lish anything at the short session of
Congress, the member must work
faithfully and energetically; for when
the great measures like the approprl-
tlon bills have been “cussed” and dis
cussed, amended and finally passed,
ed, it’s about time to adjourn. Repre
sentative Johnson, of the 4th S. C.
district, has achieved a measure of
success so far at the present i^ssion
which reflected credit on so well
known a working member as himself.
He has succeeded in having the House
pass three bills for the payment of
services rendered the government in
his district forty seven years ago.
These bills possess an interest in that
they represent a volume of hard work
and persevering Industry.
In 18(10 Mr. T. J. H. Harris, of
i Union, took the census of Union ocun-
tv for the government. Before he
I was fully paid for his services. South
■ Carolna seceded from the Union, and
J th^ claim not having been paid at the
j time provided, it was barred by the
statute of limitation. Hence when
the war was ended and South Carolina
was re-admitted to the Union, the
| only wav that the debt could be paid
I would be by affirmative, action of
! Congress. Mr. Harris called Mr.
• Johnson’s attention to the matter two
| or throe years ago. Mr. Johnson in-
j vestigated the ease, and inspected
; the book's in the office of the secre-
| tary of the interior. This search re
vealed a balance due Mr. Harris of
$.‘111.55 for the census taking. Mr.
| Johnson introduced a bill to nay Mr.
j HarrU this amount, and it received
j a favorable report: but was not
■ reached before the adjournment of
j Congress. At the beginning of the
i . r >9th Congress, Representative John-
j son introduced a similar measure,
i which received a favorable report
a"d passed on to the calendar. It al-
so passed the house of representa-
1 tives, and it now goes to the senate.
I The senate being a small body, there
is no difficulty in securing a consider-
ion of bills of this character and
| their immediate passage is almost
certain. Senator Tillman will have
charge of the bill in the senate, and
j before the 1th of March it will be
come a law. and Mr. Harris, who Is
j a well known and esteemed citizen
of Union, will receive his money for
services performed for the govern
ment forty-seven years ago. The
three hundred and forty-one dollars
and fifty-five c^nts will come in very
nicely, even if Uncle Sam was a little
slow.
Another ante-bellum debt to be
paid, through the efforts of Congress
man Johnson, and involving a sum
considerably over five hundred dol
lars. is the bill for the relief of the
estate of Charles D. Southerlln.
Charles D. Southeriin. deceased, of
Greenville county, at the time of the
breaking out of the Civil war. was
carrying the mails. A balance was
due him from the government of
$537.51. Mr. Southeriin, up to the
time of his death, was in constant
correspondence with attorneys in
Washington in regard to the claim,
and endeavored to have it collected.
The matter was brought to the atten
tion of Congressman Johnson. He
made an investigation and discovered
that the government was due Mr.
Southeriin $537.51. He introduced a
bill in Congress to have the estate
of Southeriin paid this sum: the bill
was favorably reported; and now it
has passed the house and gone to the
senate. Senator Tillman wilj have
the bill in charge and there can be
n- doubt of its passage before the
adjournment of the present Congress,
So after a lapse of about half a cen
tury, the widow and children of
Charles D. Southeriin will receive
over five hundred dollars due him for
duty performed before Fort Sumter
was fired on.
Mr. Benj. F. Pettit, deceased, who
resided in the Hobbysvllle section of
Soartanburg county, was carrying the
United States malls when the war
between the States began: he also
had a balance due him. His children
called the attention of Mr. Johnson
to the case, and he began to Investi
gate it. and found that the govern
ment still owed Pettit $146.97. He in
troduced a special bill In Congress
upon which he secured a favorable
report. That bill has Just passed the
house of representatives, and goes
over to the senate, where It will be
in the hands of Senator Tillman. It
will, without difficulty, pass the upper
house and become a law, and the
children of the deceased mall carrier
wil] receive a settlement in full from
Uncle Sam of nearly one hundred and
fifty dollars after a wait of forty-
seven years.
Representative Johnson also secur
ed the passage of a bill tor tfce relief
of T. B. Stackhouse, who was a de
puty collector of Internal revenue un
der Cleveland’s administration. At
the time he Introduced the Mil. Mr.
Stackhouse was a constituent of Mr.
Johnson, residing in Spartanburg.
Securing the passage of special
acts by which his constituents receive
over a thousand dollars—debts nearly
half a century old, during the first
month and half of the short session
of the 59th Congress, is a work of
which the repersentattves of the
Fourth District is proud.
Union Meeting Was Held i n Presby
terian Church.
Wlnnsboro, Jan. 11.—As we sit and
think of the happenings of this sec
tion and to send them to our Chero
kee friends, it is pleasant to do so,
but the thought comes to your cor
respondent to not fill the space in
The Ledger's columns where he
thinks a Cherokee corrspondnt would
likely give some dots from his home
county that would be more interesting
than Winnsboro happenings would
be to The Ledger readers, for it is
more interesting to the reader to
know the different places and people
than one who does not.
Our union meeting was held in the
Presbyterian church Sunday night,
Rev. McDonald preached. I think
the union services should be well re
presented as it gives all denomina
tions a change together at church,
and at this time I wish to say that
the North Pacolet Interdenomina
tional Sunday School Convention
should be well represented, too. It Is
a fine union for Sunday school schol
ars. I notice in the paper that it was
held at Sardis church last fourth Sun
day and was glad to hear that it was
so well carried out.
Tho Ledger brought, sad news to
us last weeb when it stated the death
of Mrs. Pridmore.
Through The Ledger this week we
were glad to learn that Mr. Jake
Pridmore was better.
There is a lot of sickness in this
section now. mostly colds, though we
have two cases of dyptheria in this
community and we know of one case
of measles.
We are having very warm weather
for this time of year. The new year
began with days almost like spring.
Farmers said they felt like plowing.
A lot of land would have been well
improved if they had plowed some,
as it was such pretty weather for the
work.
Mr. A. D. Crawford had his stable
to burn a few nights ago. It was a
sight to see and to think that thirteen
horses and mules were burning in it.
He has arranged to place some stock
in Mr. Doty’s old stable.
Rev. Mr. Walling and Rev. Mr.
Stokes are carrying on a series of
meeting here this week. It will close
tonight.
Mrs. H. B. Refo is In had health.
She has been at the Chester Hospital
for a month or two.
There has been a lot of changes
made here for the last week or more.
Several families from the country
have moved in town and some have
changed from one place to another.
Mr. Jno. H. Gibson has moved in
his new house, though he has not
got it entirely finished.
Rev. C. W. Hord, a Baptist minis
ter from Marion county, has moved
to this place. He will preach at the
churches at the places where Rev.
J. E. Freeman preached.
Miss Bissie Stewart, of Woodards,
visited friends and relatives here last
week.
Miss Lizzie Bunkhead, who ac
cepted a position in Columbia last
September, visited her parents during
Christmas holidays.
Mr. John B. Timms, who has been
with M. W. Doty & Co. for about
three years, has resigned and gone to
Columbia.
The town was shocked yesterday
by the news of the death of Mr. A.
F. Peay, of Lingtown. He died yes
terday morning and will be hurried at
Longtown Baptist church today at
2 o’clock.
Messrs. B. H. and Palmer Stewart,
of Longtown, who were called to the
bedside of their • mother, have re
turned home. She being better they
will attend tho funeral of Mr. Peay
today.
Most of the girls at school from
here took the holidays back at their
homes. One of the number. Miss
Quatlebaum, of Limestone College,
was here. Hope she will be pleased
at her school at Gaffney.
