REMINISCENCES ANENT
OLD KINGSTREE.
A FORMER STUDENT HERE RE j
CALLS ANCIENT TIMES AND
PERSONAGES.
Editor County Record: ?
I want to make a few remarks as j
V, to Kingstree, our county seat. The
writer went to school in Kingstree
from 1882 to '85. We knew it then
as "Old King-dree," and in those
days the merchants were: Mr W J
Lee, Benjamin Brothers, Mr Ira Roger,Mr
S P Brockinton and the present
Mr Porter. Mr Lee was the
manager of the Coleman Hotel and j
i
bar-room; Mr M F Heller was doing j
a live-stock business, the druggists!
were Dr D C Scott and Dr James i
Brockinton. I)r Brockinton's stand
was the fine drugstore now occupied
by his son, Dr W V Brockinton. Also
the old school-house still stands and
the old store known as the Kinder
building near Dr Scott's drug store.
Down near the old depot site? there
has been so much change that I
hardly recognized the locality. In
1885 this part of town was an old
field,farmed ard, I believe,owned by
Mr Imuran then editor and owner of
the old Williamsburg "Star" or
"Record." Mr Logan was one of the
best men that ever lived in Kingstree.
Always called the writer, "my
young friend Camlin." But he has
long since gone to his reward.
Also Mr McBride Scott, who lived
just across Broad swamp, was a
kind and good man in his day; all
who knew him loved and respected
him. Also in his neighborhood, a
little farther up the road, lived Mr
James McClary, with whom the
writer boarded year after year while
going to school. This noble Christian
family were as parents to the writer
and I never shall forget the refining
influences that were brought to bear
upon me by that good old-time
Christian Presbyterian family, and a
warm place will ever remain in my
heart for all the members of this
family. The old gentlemen, the dear
wife and mother, two of the sons
and one of the daughters have crossed
the river of death. Mr P C McGary
of Georgetown and Messrs
Hey ward and Sam McClary are all
of the family that now survive.
Mr Wilder, our revered school
teacher,I have lost sight of entirely.
The children who attended the school
were myself, the MeClarys, the Solomons,
Mr Ham Keels' children, Mr
Louis Jacobs' children, Mr Mac,
Scott's, the Brockinton girls, the
Hirsch boys, Robert Fulton, Walter'
?j /* T 1 ?
anu vjeorxe juugoii anu uuicib.
Rfght at the foot of our school
building stood Mr M J Hirsch's lawoffice.
Mr Kelley's office was where it
is now. Mr Ira Roger married the
only daughter of the late Samuel J
Morris, Esq, who was a fine lawyer
and a good man. Mr Barron Grier
was practicing law in the present
\
office of Messrs Lee & Fishburne,
and Mr T M Gilland's office was
where it is now.
To compare the present Kingstree!
with the town then, there are only j
two places that look natural?the:
court house and the old Lee store.
The old Lee building would furnish
fine fuel for a fire in this thriving :
town on some dry, windy day.
Mr Editor,this may be interesting
to some of our Kingstree people to
read. Mr Calhoun Logan, another
fine old gentleman and veteran, i
knew and loved in those days as I
do now. Subscriber.
V Thirty Years Together.
Thirty years of association?think
of it. How the merit of a good thing
stands out in that time ? or the
worthlessness of a bad one. So
there's no guesswork in this evi-;
dence of Thos Ariss, Concord, Mich, j
who writes: "I have used l)r King's:
New Discovery tor 30 years, and it's
the best cough and cold cure 1 ever :
used." Once it finds entrance in a
home you can't pry it out. Many 1
families have used it forty years.
It's the most infallible throat and :
lung medicine on earth. Uuequaled |
for lagrippe, asthma, hay-fever,'
croup, quinsy or sor? lungs. Price

Tribute to I. W. Hlrsch.
L M Moore of Ninety-Six addressed
on Monday to the editor of
the Columbia State the following
tribute to his veteran comrade at i
Mauassas, 1 W Hirsch of Charleston: ;
"In The State of July 22 your ;
special from Charleston sp#aks of I :
W Hirsch in connection with the ,
battle of First Manassas and the
company he had the honor of serv- (
ing with?Company B, Butler 1
Guards, Kershaw's old regiment. ^
Second South Carolina infantry, 1
Your correspondent states that Mr
Hirsch and Mr Divver of Anderson j
are the only two of that company
now living. That is a mistake. Your
humble servant is still living-, as are
Dr E F Rowley, S A Townes, Luther '
Hawkins in the city .of Greenville,
and two or three more, living in
Greenville county. This old company
had a record hard to beat- from
Manassas until the surrender. In
the battle of Gettysburg this company
carried into battle 4b mt^n, and
out of the 4b in that fight 44 were
killed or wounded. Mr Editor, it is
not the company so much I wish to
speak of but the individual?I W
Hirsch, my old comrade, Isaac William
Hirsch.who is a Jew. He and I
were boys together at Greenville.
When the war broke out both went
in the same company. In that grand
Army of Northern Virginia was the
flower of the South'
"I saw Mr Hirsch de what I never
saw any other man do. Having been
badlv wounded and sent home, as
soon as he was able to return to his
company he came back?unable to
walk without the aid of a stick. He
. - - 4. -r i?4.4.1,. ...u..
weni into me worst 01 uuiuie wncu
he could not walk without the aid of
his stick; and, crossing his feet, he
would put the stick between his legs
and give Uncle Sam's boys in blue
the best he had in his old rifle. Could
Napoleon or Alexander boast of a
better soldier? Father Ryan and I W
Hirsch?the part those two took in
the Confederate army has made a
tender spot in my heart for the
Catholic and the Jew, and I am as
far from being either as any living
man. But any man who wore the
Confederate gray with honor, dead .
or alive, is my brother
L M Moore."
"Ninety-Six, July 24."
The foregoing clipping is from the
Charleston Post of July 26. Mr I W
Hirsch is a brother of the late
Melvin J Hirsch. Esq, of Kingstree.

Stieff Pianos
"Sin^ThetrOwn Praises."
One of the greatest characteristics of
the past and present day is INDI-VID-;
ALITY. The Individuality of the :
STIEFF PIANO is its chief charm, j
rhere is no other piano just like the ,
STIEFF. Others try to imitate, but
iomehow they fail to reach that "ev-<
?rything" and "individuality" characteristic
of the Stieff Piano.
The STIEFF PIANO enjoys still ari-.
:>ther "Individuality" foreign to any
:>ther great make. It is sold direct to |
Lhe user. This "Individuality" secures,
?n ideal Piano, one that will meet ev-1
^ry demand of the greatest pianist or
most oxacting musician at a moderate
:ost. Write for catalogue, prices, etc.
