LAURENS, 8. C, Jan. 8,1902. ?EN. STABLING TUCKER. General Starling Tucker, whose name stands at the hoad of this ooluinn, was a prominent figure In Laurens Dlstriot in the early years of the century just closed. His home was near Lanford's Station, among the noble hills' of the Enoroe, and thero lie his remains among the people he so strenously and patriotically sewed In the days of our country's youth. An intolllgent friend of the editor of this papor has recently visited the spot on his old homestoad whore repose his remains, and sends us a copy of the inscription on the stone which marks his resting place. A granite wall twelve by fifteen feet enoloses this spot and within the enolosure is a monu ment with the following inscription: "In memory of General Starling Tucker, who departed this life the 3rd day of January, 1834, in the 64th year of his age. He was be loved in life and mourned In death for private worth and public use fulness as a man and a oitizen; the honost representative of his coun try for twenty-eight years in tho Legislature of South Carolina and in the Congress of the United States. His friends in Laurons District have caused this monu ment to bo erected to his memory and worth." On the obverse side, to his wife, who long survived him: "Sacred to tho memory of Lavlula Tucker who departed this life July 10th, 1855, in the eighty-sixth year of her age." The burial place is near what is still known as Tucker's Mill, now standing, about a century old, and now the prop erty of Capt. J. W. Lanford. The writer has endeavored to learn something of the nativity and early history of Genoral Tuoker, but with out avail. It is most probable, how ever, that as he was sixty-live years old at the time of his death, In 1834, his family must have been Virginians and that he was born on the Enoree during the Involution. General Tuck or loft no children and we are not ad vised of any collateral relatives of the name, tho Hlggins family, of which Mr. James Hlggins is a mombor, be ing connected through either his wife or a sistor of General Tucker. The memory of General Tucker is still fresh and green with the many descendants of his neighbors and his name is still venerated and honored among thorn. While wo have no re cord of his services in tho State Legis lature or in Congress, Judge O'Neal in his biography of Robert Stark, (Revo lutionary soldier, afterwards Speaker of the House of Representatives and State Solicitor), furnishes an interest ing episode in General Tucker's career. In 1814 the war was pending between the Unit-ad States and Great Britain. ' and Tucker was. Colonel of a Regiment of the Second Brigade. Qf State Militia. Under the orders of the Governor, com panies of Infantry, Cavalry and Arfcil: lery were ordered to rendezvous at Newberry and Col. Tuokor put in com mand; they were mustered into ser vice by Brigade?Major Thos. Wright, on the 1st., 2rd. and 3rd of March, 1814. Robert Wood and Samuel Can non woro the Majors, and Captain Wil liam Irby, a soldier of 1776, was Adju tant. On the 4th of the month they took up their maroh to Pocotaligo, through Lexington, Orangeburg and Barnwoll and arriving at Poootallgo, were orderod to relieve Col. Carter's regiment. Says O'Neal, who was a soldier of the Regiment: * On the way down, the Regiment below Barn well, began to meet the disoharged soldiers of Col. Carter's Regiment, to the relief of which we were marohing. Those first mot had beon disoharged on account of sickness. Tboy wero tho most squalid, emaciated croatures and were hardly able to walk. They de pleted to the soldiers of Col. Tucker's regiment the unnecessary hardships to which Col. Youngblood, who had ob tained the command in place of Col. Carter, had subjected them. As might have beon expected it created a feeling of indignation whioh could not be al layed." Seeing this state of things John Toubs, of Edgefleld, who belong ed to Capt. Caldwell's troop of cavalry, said to Col. Tuoker: "The day yon give up the command of your Regi ment I will shoot you." (They must have been a gay set of larks.) "At Pocotaligo the Regiment was met by Capt. Benjamin Frazier, of Edgefleld, and he said to Col. Tuoker: 'You are marching right into h?11'. Yesterday an order was published requiring a de tail of two Companies, to throw up a tote de pent on Port Royal Island, un der thedlreotlon of Col. Youngblood." Said he, "the object is thus by Compa nies to take your command from you." The order to construct the toto de pont(nn earthwork to protect a bridge) was published to Col. Tucker's Regi ment. A council of every officer of the Regiment was held and they unan imously voted to disobey this order, and from day to day tho work was post poned. On the 5th of April the Regi ment was disoharged and the Gover nor of the State ordered Col. Tuoker arrested and Court Martialed for not digging and constructing the toto de pont. He was charged with disobe dience of orders and the following con stituted the Court: CoJ. Adam MoWil 11?, Col. Evan Benbow, Maj. Abram Blanding, Maj, Jos. Miokle, and Maj. Benoni Robinson. James Dillett, Judge advocate. Solicitor Robert ^ Stark, and O'Neal, just admitted (1814,) '?.he bar, defended Tucker. lie was nvloted of disobedience of orders ''.fenced to be suspended from his land for ton months. ?ays: "There was fourteen nost of them were not prov says O'Neal: "Indeed, the madeSUrling Tuoker sub i brigadier of the 10U? Brigade, Major-General, 6th Division, and a member of Congross." Tuoker never refused to carry out the order but simply delayed.it and in a very short while, / "ii 6'.h, they were discharged, having taken up the march at Nowberry, March 4th. Ho could not have done otherwise, every officer in the company supporting him, and reaching home, ho was elected Brigadier, then Major-General (one half the State) and after to Congress. For fifty yours the writor has heard General Tuoker spoken of by suoh men as John Lanfor?, deceased, his neigh bor, and others, and never without the highest respect for his noble qualities and manhood. Discipline must prevail but unless the hoalth of tho soldier is regarded, as by soldiers like Hampton and Kershaw, who were no "Carpet Knights", there will be no men to tight on tho day of battle except suoh soare-orows as the men of Carter's Regiment mot on the maroh to Pocotaligo. If the story of this bravo and dis tinguished son of Laurens should stim ulate the rising youth of our county to noble effort and emulation, tbon wo have done well to ferret out the lifo of the subject and put it before them. Tucker may havo beon technica'ly at fault, but sometimes It is right to disobey orders. A French detail of five hundred men was made, and a Colonel ordorcd to take a certain point. Tho Colonel sug gested a reduction to a hundred. Asked for his reason he eald: "all will bo killed, not a man will return, and a hundred are enough to sacrifice." The order was revoked. It must be kept in mind that in the days of Tuoker tho high-road to posi tion and famo was tho militia. After tho return of tho regiment O'Neal be came a Captain and ran against Tucker for Major-General and was dofoated. He subsequently became Major-Gene ral and Judge and Chief Justice. Thos.Wright, tho Judge Advocate, be- I camo Lleut-Govornor. Capt. William Irby the Adjutant, was the father of tho late Lieut-Governor, James H. Irby, and tho grandfathor of tho late Senator Irby and Dr. W. C. Irby of this city. He must have been flfty yoars old when he took the Hold with TucKor. * * * "Most potent, grave and reverend signiere, My very noblo and approved good masters."
