Palmetto Drug Co. W. H. WASHINGTON, Manager. Laurens, S. C. COUNTRY'S FIRST 5,000,000 CITY Now York's Population N'ow Exceeds This Number by Over 4ou?Second in World to lteuch Murk. New York. Aug. 13.?New York has just achieved the distinction of being the first citv In the western hemisphere and the second In the world to pass the 5,000,000 mark In population. The| margin by which this record was gain ed this week was not a wide one since according to the figures of tho board of health the greater city now con tains exactly 5,000,407 people. This estimate Is based on the otllcial cen sus taken in April last year which gave New York a population of 1,766, S33, so that within a period of fifteen months there has been an increase of 233,674 equal to the population of a largo sized city. Since 1898 when the population of New York was but 3. 272,418 there has been an increase of 53 per cent., a striking record in it self. The great concentration of pop ulation has not been injurious to the 1 health of New York's citizens, howev er. On the contrary figures for the last thirteen years show a falling off! in the death rate. According to the | liures of the health department for the past week the death rate was only a fraction over 14 to each one thous and inhabitants, which is one per cent, lower than the lowest record of the last thirteen years. The infant mor tality among children less than one year of age was 156 In 1,0U0 as against| 235 in tho corresponding week for 1010. At the present rate of increase it is figured that New York will out strip London and become the largest city in the world within the next 25 years. * PARTISAN LEADERS OF S. By Anna Prenllss. Winning first prize in contest of D. A. lt., Laurens Chapter. The partisan lenders of South Caro lina were the men, who, during the American Reaolutlon, when the Brit ish under Cornwallis, Tarleton, Raw don and others were overrunning the state, led their neighbors and friends who banded themselves together to protect their homes, families, and lives. The men whom they led to vic tory, wore woolen garments, called hunting shirts, woven by their wives and daughters, their caps were of ra coon skin, with the tails of a racoon or squirrel hanging down behind; their trousers und bIiocs wort' of fleer tikln. Each man rotlo his own horse, Some carried reaping hooks and mow ing Bcyths, this InBtoad of swords, and a few carried pitch forks which they used as spears. Most of Sumter's men carried a rifle, or the flintlock sort, with this, the back woodsmen could send a bullet to the distance of two hundred yards Into an object the size of a man's hat. Each rifle man had a powder horn slung over his shoulder, and wore a knife in his belt. It is said of Sumter's men that they were always ready "to scalp an Indian, to hug a bear, and to fight British dragoons.' They laid them selves in the swamps of the Santee and Pee Doo rivers. By means of BUCh signals, as the hooting of an owl, the chattellng of a squirrel, 111? screaming of a panther, they warned one another of the approach of 111? enemy. They would dasli out and fight a desperate hand-to-hand battle, and then disappear Into the forest. The greatest partisan Laders were Francis Marlon, Thomas Sumter, and Andrew Plckons, Francis Marlon was horn al Wlnl paw in 1732. As a boy, he wanted to lead a a-fnring life, bill a ship wreck caused him to change his mind, hi an expedition flfj^ isi ihc Indians in 17."i!>. he wont other In I7G1, V ant under Captain William Moult rlo.1 lie was appointed to a captaincy In tin; regular army in I77">. watt man.' a brigadier general by Governor Rot ledgo in 177s. Fortunately for bis country, just before Charleston fell ho sprained his ankle, and retired from the garrison, so therefore was not made a prisoner of war. After the surrender, lie began his swift and sudden attacks upon the enemy. Tarl eton once attempted to catch him. but gave It up saying: "Come on. boys, let's go back and we'll soon find the "game cock'"" (Sumtor), but as for this old fox the devil himself could not catch him." From that incident, the title of "Swamp Fox" has clung to 11 tho gallant Marion.' He, with the help of Llghthorse Harry Lee from Virginia, took Forts Motte and Wat son. At the battle of Kutaw Springs, he commanded the right under Greeno. After tho British retreat to Charles tori, he went to a session of the Pro vincial Congress. His face always wore a Stem, hard look. Ho had lit tle to say, but Boomed never to sleep, and was always ready to rush Into the tlilckcst part of the light. After tho war. he occupied himself with fanning. Ho died February 27*li. 1795, / Thomas Stimtor >s .'"u" in Vir* i^z ist ihc Indians in a|,v7/ volunteer. In an l flsbrvcti as a BOUtoU" ginin in 1734. He was ft volunteer in the French and Indian War, and was present at Braddock's defeat. In March 1770, he became lieutenant-col onel in the American army. After the capture of Charleston by the Brit ish, lie took refuge in the swamps of tho Santee with the rank of briga dier-general. On July 12th, he defeat ed a British detachment on the Ca tawba and on August 18th, was de feated at Fishing Creek by Tarleton. He collected another corps, and on November 12th defeated Colonel Morn ings near Broad River. In the battle of Blaekstocks, November 1780 he was severely wounded; but in March 1781, ln> raised three new regiments and in concert with Marion, Pickei and ot'i ers harraSoed the British unceasing ly. His courago was so bold that it often led him into battHe against forces much greater than his own. Sometimes he was defeated, but al ways came out of defeat as undaunt ed as before. In 1781, Congress pass ed a resolution of thanks to him and his men. After the war. Sumter had a great public career; he first served as Congressman from South Carolina, then as United States senator, and 11 nally as Minister to Brazil. He was the last surviving general of the Rev olution .dying near Caindon, S. C, in 1832. Andrew Bickens was born at Baxton County, Pennsylvania, September 13, 1739. The family moved to South Carolina in his boyhood. In 1761, he | served as a volunteer in an expedi tion against the Cherokee Indians. At the outbreak of the Revolution, he was made a captain and rose to the j rank of brigadier-general. With Ma rion and Sumter, he kept the held at head of partisan troops, after the state was overrun by (he British. In llebruary. 77!?. he defeated a party of Tories at Kettle Creek, and was de feated himself at the battle of Cow pens, he commanded the militia. For bis conduct on this occasion. Con gress voted him a sword. In Juno, he took the British forts at Augusta, af ter a siege Of two Weeks. At the bat tle of Eutaw springs, be commanded a brigade of South Carolina, militia. He served his people 111 many ways, from the close of the war to the year; 1801, when be retired from public life. He died at Tomasso Pen die to II District, South Carolina, August 18th, 1817. These men carried on that kind of war-fare that was safest for their country and most fatal to the enemy. The men, whom these great partisans led. drove away the armies of the In vaders, and won the final victory for the American cause. Misery From 1'psct Stomach and Dys-: pepsin Will Vanish.
