POOR CONRAD GALLS j
BACK BY-GONE DAYS.
(Continued from rage zj
down his face, caused by the smoke
burning his eyes. I asked him,
"Frank,how do you like this place?"
"Oh,massa,"said he."ebery time we
move we go toad?n wusser place."
But,alas, poor Frank is gone and we
who knew him hope that the smoke
of no other place bothers him now.
I will now mention a few of the
old white men,those who lived in the
palmy days of this old State. There
were a good many who lived in
Charleston, the City by the Sea,
where the writer was born. One of
them will be the last to be forgotten,
not for the love I had for him,
but for the most unmerciful whipping
I ever got with a rawhide whip.
My body was covered with black
and blue marks by that old heathen.
I was" looking at a common thermometer
which I let fall out of my
hand. It was broken into fragments.
Old Kalb was a powerful Dutchman
and without a word he walloped me,
a small boy; almost lifted me off the
floor with that terrible weapon and
no one to itay his hand or say,
"What doest thou?" But all I knew
at tbat time, a lone orphan, was to
submit to every abuse. Ah, well I
remember the three unmerciful
whippings I got in my life were by
three burly, powerful Dutchmen in
Charleston, the City by the Sea. A
stout Dutch woman almost murdered
me once with a wooden broom
handle,but all is hushed now, and if
they are being beaten in turn now I
cannot say.
I will not mention any more of the
cruel ones,but some that were good,
of whom I may have written before.
There was Mr John McFaddin, father
of Mr John F McFaddin of Kingstree.
He was a man,as well as "Uncle"
Jim Epps, "Uncle" Bob Epps,
the Smiths, thd' McElveens, the Burgesses,
the Reardons, the Harringtons
and the Mclntoshes. It may not
be interesting to some readers of
The County Record, but it is interpstincr
to thp writer hpcansp it. is a
token of love to write these names
on paper as they have long been
written on his heart, and, besides, I
believe the children are pleased to
hear the names mentioned in true
and loving words. Capt Isaac Nelson
of Kingstree and Mr Robert Fulton,
long since passed away, were my
friends. I must also mention Mri
Philip Heller, the father of Mr M F
Heller of Kingstree. Mr Heller was
an old German and was very kind to
me; called me "Conrad". I was
down here once on my way to Georget

Winter Season that h;
our splendid assort]
Co., arriving
about dark, Mr Coleman t
was keeping a bar-room then. I was r
wet and cold and went to the bar \
for something to warm me up. Mr 1
Heller was sitting at a small table in v
the har-room. It was then cettintr J
late. He was a great beer drinker 1
and would get pretty full about the f
time for him to go home. His eyes r
were quite h y. I said, "Mr
Heller, come and take some beer."
With his head a little inclined down,
he replied,"No, I t'ank you, Conrad,
no, I t'ank you, I am f-f-full, lam j
f-f-full." "Well," I said, "one more c
won't make much difference." p
"Veil, I take one vid you. I get h? n
when I get home anyhow!" ;
A young man whom I knew quite
well came along with a very old
mule, apparently about 25 or 30
years of age, and said to me, "I
have a mule here I want to trade."
Mr Heller was quite a horse trader
and would trade for any animal, no
matter how old or poor in flesh, but
he was a man with horse sense, too,
and could not be fooled; besides, he
would not try to cheat or misrepresent
anything. He knew quite well
from the looks of the above named
mule that he was very old. He replied
to the would-be mule trader,
"If you gan brppve dot mople is bu^
10 years old he is wort' den dousand
dollars,he is de domdest koorossity I
ever see."
Mr Billy McElveen, the grandfather
of Mr George A McElveen,of this
town,was also a great trader. "Uncle
Billy" he whs called by nearly
all who knew him. He was a man
who would not allow anyone to impose
on him. Once he had a falling
out with some one whose name I
have forgotten. "Uncle Billy" was
very mad and went up to the man
and said in a very loud and angry
tone, "If you say I did so and so I
will jump down your d?throat and
gallop your d? chitlins out," and
of course the man did not wish to
experience that galloping exercise,
so the matter was dropped.
Mr Editor, I expected to mention
other small subjects when I began"
this letter, but I have said so much
more about the old men that to say
more would be too tiresome, so I
will name only one more poor departed
friend, a Mr Jacobs of Manning,
who was a foreigner, and a
dear friend,a Mr Charlie ) whose
funeral he had attended. Mr Jacobs
from accounts was a German Jew
and a man with tender heart. After
the burial of his friend, poor Charlie,
he was telling in a lamentable tone
to all who stood around the grave,
borne otners loved poor Lnarlie uobia
Dingle. He vas der Col Benbow.
He vas der Bill Cobia. He vas der
poor Charlie. He vas getting himself
buried. Poor Charlie, he vas dead
and he was dere, too." I have often
