A TRUE STORy-How GEN, BRATTON SAVED THE LiyEs OF REPUBLICAN OFFICIALS--WIY OUR COUNTY SUF FERED NOT AS OTHERS. Thei e are many incidents in the dark d-ys of Radicalism and negro rule which will make very interesting read ing in a few years to those who were actively connected with the matters pertaining to the country, surrounded as it was at that time by the grealest difficulties which ever beset a govern ment in the history of government. There are young men to-day in Fair field Coanty who have no conception of what our people endured from 1868 to 1876. The Radical government was so bad in the State that an organization known as the Ku Klux Klan was per feved for the suppression of crimes and the protection of life and liberty of our people. Much good resulted : first, but like all secrot organiza tiot,.s ot the kind, the tendency was bad and the organization .was abused toward the last. Fairfield County never s.ufered, however) like some of our si-ter counties for two reasons mainly and for otLer reasons largely also. In those days it was a cotmmon sight to see the streets on Saturday evening filled with armed negroes who came in nearly every Saturday for '-a big muster." Crops at:d business had to wait. This brings us to our story. There was trouble with some of the negroes cut about the Jack Gladney country and an arranigement was effected wher eby they were to return thir guns to the State and disband thr company. Mr. 'L. W. Duval w as sh.erif and the guns were put in his charge. They were stored in the jail or shenii' s office, and when the Ku Klux learned that they had not been sent to Columbia they met and deter mined to pnt every county official to death, as our isarrative will afterwards proe. General Brattont was not a member of the Ku Klux, but on account of his wisdom, prudence and patriotism he exerted an influence by his very course on all matters affecting the public wel f.ire of our depressed country. His opini)n was sought in a mysterious On a bright sunny morning as the Gent ral w as crossing his back-yard he was hailed by a stranger riding a fiery ch.n.rger (of the Thickety stock). The gentlema.. aLked if this was General Bratton, and sta'ed that he was lost, ut was truly glad that he was lost at t e eneral's home, for he was piond of anr pprtunmity cf meet ing him of whom he aheard so much. The stranger I okt d fatigued and his horse showed i.mi of hard --idinig, and thec General n.iced th.tt the stranger did not intro dic himse f. H{e stated that he was toi: g to Dr. Thorn's, that he had cr ssed Broad River at Shelton's, was in a hurry and wanted to find the way to Dr. Thorn's. Gen. Bratton had his horse caugnt and proceeded to ride a near path leading to Dr. Thorn's, The stranger talked pleasantly-of crops and things in general. Where the paths diverged Gen. Bration pointeri the way out to the lone horseman and was about to ride away. The mnatn's Icountenance becamne changed, an air of deep concern w as very appartt He asked Gemn. Brat ton to cume to a secludi d spot in the bushes, and al though no human was nmear them he iowe ed his voice r.nd said: "Gerem al. it is not altogether~ an a<:ci e:it thr was lost at your place. i have been sent to you ont a mis-ion. I have beeni sint because y u do not know me. It is aaist the ru!es of the klan, but if von desire t> know me came ILam authorizea to give it." The General interrupt'rd bim by s ty ig, "No, I do not want to know your name. It is best perhaps that I do not. I see it, all; somebody is about Ito do something very rash; some of my aId ccmrades are in troub!e." The man assented to the correctness of the General's surmise. and stated that the klan had met and had passed official in Fairfield County because those negro guns were still in Winns boro in reach of the negroes, that 1he promises had been broken, and that one of hi. o!d command bad been de tailed to lead the terrible expedition. That although agai t tbe rules to de cline, the penalty of death attaching to any man who would question orders from the klan, this member of Gen. Bra:ton's old regiment boldly rose in the meeting and said he would not lead the expedition unless a certain man is consulted. "If he approves it, I will act." No name was called, it being against the rule to call any names in a meeting of the klan. Con trary to all precedent and prestige the klan agreed that this certain man was to be consulted. The lone horseman 'ost himself at Gen. Bratton's place. The General was also told that it he demanded the name of his old com rae he might have it-another infrac tion of the rules. To this Gen. Brat ton declined; but he told the stranger that there was no necessity for it, that Fairfield had a "star set" of county officiA1s compared to York and other counties; they were conducting their offices properly and it was wrong, un - just and a fearful piece of work they were contemplating. le said to the stranger that there hns been a long stand:ng threit that the negroes will rise up and Pil from the cradse to the grave" and then apply the torcb. "But," ,a'd the Gcneral, '"that will never happen in Fairfield County un less I am warned in plenty of time. There are two members cf my old regiment (the 6il) who are among the county officirls, and wheRever there is any attempt of the kind or anything else going wrong I will be the first inan notided; for the!e two men will warn me of any danger to our pcop'e. And as to the guns they are saftr in DuvaPs hands than anywhere else, for he of all men wants no. trouble to ame to our people." The stranger rode off with>ut intro dcing himself or giving any Kuklux's name and the county officials were ncver disturbed. But in some way iknown to Gen. Brat:on this gt to Suriff Duval's ears and whenever any &ttempt was made to persecute our Jowntrodden people by Yankee offi ,als or by Unikcd States prosecu'ions it was squelched by Duval or some ther of the Republican county offi ials. This act ot General Bratton's, the spirit of the Republican officials and the conservatism of our people aved u lts of trouble. $100 Reward $10o.
