I ho Origin of tin* Name I,unions, and n Uiogruphy of Ks Xuiuesuke. La?reua oouuty 1ms tho honor pi being named lor one of the greatest of great mou, Henry Lau* renn, u brave Revolutionary pa triot. Mr. Laurens was born iu Charleston, iu 1721. Iii? aricos tors wero Frenoh Protestant re fugees, who had loft franco soon after the ropoal of tho ediot of Nnntz. Thoy Urs! settled iu Now York, hut af tor wards movod to Carolina. Ho was designed for a merchant and made a successful one.Ho was I always prompt and punctual, uoS ! only in businoss, but in other mat lore. Thin mudo him very popu lar among tho business people. Henry Laurons was n lover of justioo. Hu unco persuaded a slavo to give an unwilling oonsout to roooive the small-pox by inocula tion for some experiment; the slavo died in consequence*To com I fort tho slave in his -lying mo ments AHBuranoo were given him that his children would bo oman uipatod. This was dour-. in hia religion he was strict and exemplary. Ho was familiar with tho Biblo and firmly believed its doctrines. Ho often repeated parts suitable to tho preBont occa sion. Ho was also strict about his children reading und studying this Book, Having 'accumulated a large lor tu no far suspassiug what was then common in Amerioaand hav ing I'ocontly lost hiswife, he with drew from business and went, to Euglaud to over eeo the educa tion of his sons. Very soon aftor ! this the quarrel began which led to t ho Uovolut ion. Ho was one of the thirty-nine Americans, who, in 1774. petitioned Parliament not to ?pass the Boston port bill. He exerted all of Iiis mental powers to prevent the war1 but finding that nothing less than a dis graceful submission on the part, of iho Colonies would prevent blood shed, ho returr. d to Carolina to tako part in the defence of his na tive country. Offors were made him to got. him to remain in England, but as n true Carolinian ho rejected all these with haughty pride. To one man, who was trying to persuade him the sure ruin of all his l>usi liuss would be the result of his siding with tho Americans, he re plied: "I go resolved still to labor for peace, dotermini d in tho last event to stand or fall with my country." On leaving England ho assured his many friends that America would never submit to the :iuim of Parliament, and on his arrival at Charleston, in December, 1771 ho told his American friends that England would not yield to their demands and lie was stll'o that war was inevitable, Kis information was much relied on during the year 1V7? when Carolinu was mak ing ht-rdefenses. His leaving Eng land at this crisis to join his fol low countrymen, in their struggle for independence, caused him to rise higher in their estoom and many offices of great importance wore conferred upon him and which ho served to the satisfac tion of all. When the provincial congress met at Charlestun on June 1st, 1775, a Council of Safety was appointed president of this body. On March 24t h, 1770,when South Carolina declared herself, a free and iudopoudenl sJtato, tho Provincial Congress voted them selves as the General Assembly, and Henry Laurens was chosen president. In December 177<>. ho resigned his seat in Congress and received tho thanks of all. In tin* year 1779, ho was ap pointed United States Minister to Holland and was given full power to transact all business of this country there. On his way to Holland ho was captured by the British and made n. prisoner in the tower of London "on suspic ion of t reason." This was accom panied by orders: "to confine him a close prisoner; to be looked up evory night; to be in custody of two wardens; not to sutler him to bo out of their sight day or night; to allow him no liberty of speak ing to any one, nor permit any person to speak to him to de prive him of t he use of pen and ink; to suffer no letter to be brought to him, not any to go from him. He was then fifty-six years of age and afflicted with the gout and other infirmities. The year 1781 came near a close when tho sufferings of Mr. Laurens became known, and aroused compassion in his favor and hatred against tho authors of his sufferings. Ho was released iu tho spring of Ip2. Soon alter his release ho received a commission from Con gress to be one of their representa tivies to Paris to negotiate for peace with Britian and was one of the signers of tho preliminaries of peace which "wns signed on Nov. ?Oth, 1782. After returning to Carolina ho retired from public life and amused himself with agricultural experiments and promoting the happiness of his children, friends and neighbors. His health which had long beo1. delicate gradually doclined vixd on Dee. 8th, 1792, he passed away and went before his God. He was 69 years of age. His will concluded with these words: "I solemnly enjoin it on my eon as an indispensable duty, that, as soon as he conveniently can after my decease, ho cause my body to he wrapped in twelvo yards of tow cloth and be burnt until entirely consumed and then collecting my bones deposit thom wherever he may think proper. So ends the career of one of t-'no greatest men that ever lived -and for whom our city and county is named. CordrUj Wbllb WawfiT, Clemson Collogo. S. 0. New Oyster House.
