WHO SAYS SELL IT?
Our par k is to be sold in a few days.
Has there been any agitation or wish
< xpressed on the part of the people to
sell this p)roperty? Is there necess:ty
1oe the s:ep? Do the people realize
that the only grave of woods about
the town is t> be turned over to the
woodman and his axe? Where will
our picnickers go? Now that a fac
tory is ini sight and better times ahead,
we should hold on to this lovely natu

IN T HE KU KLUX DAYS.
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.
