Undesirable Aliens in Ancient Wil- <
liamsburg. I
1
(By William Willis Boddie) ,
King George decreed that fifty acres j
of land in Williamsburg township ;
should be granted to each man, worn- j
nr. and child actually settling in the
district after it was surveyed in 1736. ,
There were some people in the colony ;
ci' South Carolina who realized that j
this land on Black river was "extra- j
ordinary good" and that a grant here ,
would prove profitable, although they ,
themselves were unwilling to live
through the pioneer days in the town- ]
v snip. These people: by virtue of in- (
A Ac CAIMIUMi
i] UCllC^ UX1 biic au?uvii?*^o)
grants to some of the best land in ,
the township.
The township was filled immediate- ,
ly after it was plotted. Since some j
who did not actually settle secured <
grants, many bona fide settlers were ,
compelled to move in as tenants and j
many good prospective settlers were (
forced to secure lands in ether places
in the colony of South Carolina.
Many of these tenants and of those
elsewhere were friends rod relatives
of the actual settlers in Williamsburg.
Th'ese outsiders holding grants ]
to land in the township to the preju- '
c'ice of those who were willing to
settle was a thorn in the flesh to
those who lived here. Once the
rctual settlers petitioned the council
cf the colony to revoke the grants ,
icede to all save bona fide occupants.
The council paid but little attention
x to this petition. Then the actual settiers
in the township on January 19,
1742, petitioned Henry McCullough,
Esq., who had charge of the granting
of lands in the colonies of North
and of South Carolina, to afford them ^
cesired relief.
This petition shows the names of (
all to whom land had been granted
but did not live in the township.
These are they: George Hunter, John
liallentine, Capt. John CI el and, the
Rev. John Baxter, Charles Stames, .
Andrew Rutledge, Esq., David Harloe,
Thomas Potts, John Hammerton,
Esq., Thomas Monk, Bridget Hughes,
Samuel Poitovine, Capt. James Fish- *
er, John Scott, Elisha Screven, Capt.
John Whitfield, Sarah Blakcway, Jane .
Eldridge, John Wilson, Lieut. Thomas
Farrington, and Captain Atkins.
These outsiders, after considerable ^
trouble, either settled in the town- j
ship or disposed of their lands.
This petition to Henry LfcCullough
recites, among other things, that there ^
were then in the tcwnsiiip more than

"Trixie" is Dead.
Trixie, the little Fox Terrier dog
belonging to Mr. P. 0. Arrowsmith,
died at the home of her master here
Friday. "Trixie" was conceded to be
the most intelligent dog in the community.
She was a household pet in
Arrowsmith familv aa well as a
favorite in the community. Everybody
knew her and respected her for
her gentleness and wonderful instinct.
During all of her illness che was
treated by Dr. Mclnnis, the well
known veternarian of Charleston,
rhis last illness was her second time
sd the door of death. Something
over a year ago while engaged at
her usual passtime?amusing a bevy
of little children?she jumped on a
Jliarp stob which penetrated her abdomen.
She realized her injury and
rave up her pleasures with her lit.lc
friends. She was taken te Charlesfor
treatment which she accepted
at the hands of Dr. Mrlnnis in
i manner bordering on human intel-r
igence. After a short time she was ,
>1 ought back home and under the (
iffectionate, careful nursing she re- |
eived in her home, finally reccvered ,
ind has since continued a source of \
.leasure and amusement to a large .
:ircle of Kingstree's little folk.
If there shou'd chance to be anyhing
better in the great beyond for
cgs of nobler mien wo heartily wish, i
ind further believe that "Trixie" will j
ittain the highest reward. (

SAVES LIFE WITH PENKNIFE.
Surgeon Slits Throat of Boy Choked
by Peanut.
Sur^ry with a penknife one day
last week saved the life of a two-yearold
John Washington, who was tak-1
en to a Cincinnati hospital with a
peanut lodged in his win.ipipe, causing
strangulation. The chi'd had
stopped breathing when Dr. C. C.
Payne arrived at the ward. Realizing
that death would ensue before
he could send for surgical instruments,
Dr. Payne took his penknife,
slit open the boy's throat and incised
the trachea just below where the peanut
was lodged. This permitted the
passage of air and the child soon
was revived. Later the peanut was
removed.
-o
The Legislature.
It is not yet possible to undertake
with any degree of confidence an assessment
of the work of the legislature
which has just adjourned. The
big issue was taxation. We thought
?and so did many others?that there
should have been a cut of something
like twenty per cent right down the
line in all appropriations which had
been largely raised sinc<^ 1918. The
weight of pressure, however, if not
the weight of opinion, was the other
way; the friends of most of the institutions
being strongly organized to
insist upon maintaining appropriations
on the basis of last year?and
-? t J IL-*-.
m tile main wey nave naa uieir way.
In all the circumstances no leader
appearing to insist upon a flat and
^discriminating reduction, it is rather
remarkable that the appropriation
bill as passed should have been so
much below the original budget. As
for the county budgets, the total figures
are not available as we write,
but in general there have been, we
think, increases rather than decreases;
and this, of course, is a condition
for which public opinion in each county
budgets are held responsible. If
the county budgets arc still high it
is reasonable to assume that this is
because public sentiment has insisted
upon a continuance of county salaries
and county activities on the basis
fixed last year or the year before.
The new measures for raising tax
money which have been adopted must
prove themselves by their results but
let it be said now that a good deal
more, was accomplished ' along this
line than many who had studied the
situation were prepared to expect
when the session opened. The bills
or this character which passed should
bring in considerable revenue and
their enactment is a distinct achievement.
The rate fixed in the income
tax bill is unquestionably too high
but this is a matter which can be adjusted
hereafter. As the new measures
justify themselves, other sources
of revenue can be developed, a step
or two at a time, which when all is
said is probably the surest way to
go forward, especially in a state like
ours.
We are glad that without adding
to the appropriation bill a way was
found of enabling the Citadel to secure
the money to make the splendid
new plant available for use, and for
this the Citadel and its friends are
under new obligation to Senator Padgett.
We are especially glad also
that the State Highway Commission
seems to have come through the session
in shape to carry cn its work,
thanks in no small measure to the
efforts of Senator Young.?Charleston
News and Courier.
