I'ci\, r " CONCISE SkS OF LAURENS COUNTY WRI/TEN BY MR. W. W. KENNEDY. The Organ/ation of the County in the Eigh= tee/^h Century and its Progress Into the Twentieth. ? The sl/cn 9^ 1/aureus County which appears below was pre pared for iA-rtion in a school catalogue by Mr. W. W? Kennedy and by Jii/ourtesy is published in Tin-: Adykutiskk. Mr. Ken nedy doe/10* present it as a complete or elaborate sketch but Tin-; Ai)vi:k'/|,'r,H' readers will find it of great interest and value. The schooljfhehers throughput Laurens would do well to clip it from the p;^1' and keep it for reference. / - / The County of Laurens, which, up to the reconstrue /lion period, was known as Laurens District; was carved out of the old Ninety .Six District about 1785. It is to be inferred from the wording of certain grants from George III, still in existence and covering land in the (iraycourt section, that a large division of territory, called Craven County, with indefinite boundaries and extending over into North Carolina, originally embraced all of this portion of our Stale. The writer, while making an abstract of titles some years ago, could not find in the proper office any record of a certain tract of land belonging to one of the l'ulnnms, and on asking the owner for any papers he had concerning the property, was handed a very old paper, worn out at the folds. On being opened it was found to be a grant from George III to one of the ancestors of the owner. It was quite a curiosity, with its blue ribbons and the great royal seal in red wax. It was signed by Jonathan Downs as the King's surveyor, and staled that the land which it covered lay in Craven County. Jonathan Downs lived on Rabltll Creek, where Mr. Albert Garlington now lives. When the Revolutionary war began he raised a body of Whigs, of whom he took command, and with whom he fought many a hard skirmish along the stream on which he lived, and along Reedy River, with Indians and Tories. lie is supposed to have fought at King's Mountain. It is known that he partici pated in the battle of Musgrove, on the Knorcc. ?So dis tinguished was he for his bravere and ability that his peo ple sent him to the legislature after the war. When this County was carved out of/ Ninety Six District it was pro posed in the legislature to name it Downs District, but he rose and promptly objected, saying that be was still living and that, for aught he or anybody else knew, he might dis grace his name, and that, therefore, the district should be given the name of a dead man. He begged that they would give it the name of his friend, John La lire us, who had been killed just as the war was closing, his request was granted; hence, the name our County now bears. During his term as King's surveyor Major Downs ob tained grants covering nearly all, if not all, of the upper portion of Laurens County, the eastern boundary of his pos sessions at the close of the Revolution being a straight line running from Knorcc to Saluda, and passing somewhere between Dr. A. C. Puller's and Trinity Church. Years after the war his daughter, the late Mrs. Phoebe Brewster, then quite a young girl, on coming into his room one morning found him seated beside a trunk full of papers in front of the fire taking out paper after paper, and after examining it throwing it into the fire. She asked him what he was doing, and was told that the papers in thai trunk were grants to him from the King covering thous ands and thousands of acres which had been settled and improved by a great many poor, but honest and industri ous people, who supposed that they held undisputed titles, that, in case of his death, his heirs could dispossess all of these people, and that to save them harmless, he, after re serving an ample estate for his family, was destroying all the evidences of his ownership. The first white settlements in Laurens were made, prob ably, by Indian traders and the more adventurous of the Huguenot, Scotch and Scotch-Irish colonists of the low country. Afterward these received accessions from Vir ginia, Germany and Holland, thus laying the foundation for the splendid people we have now?self-respecting, in dustrious, thinking, progressive people, who read the news papers and useful books, mingle much with' each other so cially, observe the Sabbath, go to church and take an en lightened interest in schools. During the Revolution a large proportion of the peo ple of this section adhered to the royal cause, there being as good people 011 one side as on the other, though juost all early historians tried to convince their leaders that the Whigs were all saints, and the Tories all devils. The two factions merely represented different opinions on great pub lic questions, and in nearly all cases both were conscien tious. The truth of the matter is that the Revolution in South* Carolina was not spontaneous, nor, in any sense, original, but merely sympathetic, the Northern colonies having the direct grievances, while the Southern, especially in South Carolina, not only had no direct grievances, but stood in a most favored relation to the crown; it is not sur prising, therefore, that the spirit of loyalty should have been so stiong here. At the close of the war, while a spirit of vindictive ness prevailed amongst the more impulsive of the victori ous Whigs towards the vanquished Tories, and prompted property confiscation and personal retaliation, the more thoughtful leaders, recognizing the true spirit of the situa tion, counseled moderation and reconciliation, except in cases of great wanton crime, thus saving to the country some of the best elements of its population, who, the war being over, accepted the situation established by the sword. The wisdom, ns well as the righteous of 'this course, has been demonstrated many times in peace and in war. The sons of those Whigs have joined hands with the sons of those Tories both fa peace and in war. / Concluded next week. SOMETHING DOING AT WARES SHOALS Work Unimpeded by Hot Weather.
