Origin of the llciumnlmly and Scott Familie-. At the outbreak of the Revolution? ary, War Uen. Thomas Sumter found himself in (loose Creek Parish, near Charleston, S. C, where he had been MH| after Hraddock's defeat, where he was a lieutenant in the provincial army or militia of Virginia, his native State, by the English government to quell tho disturbances among the In? dians, instigated by the French. He was successful, after having placed in Irene the most prominent Frenchman who was causing the trouble, and shll ping him to France. He said the vessel was never heard of again. Uen. Sumter then commenced trad? ing With the Indians for land and bought 0 plantation from them as high Up as the Santec river and made a home near Nelson's Ferry. It was during this period tho war of ?'Amer? ican Independence" broke out. it was not long before he had a following of friendly Indians and whites to join hint In the fight for freedom. It WUI on one of his recruiting trips he came upon a crowd of men fighting <? chickens at a cross road, and upon his r< monstratlng with them muhy agreed to follow him and fight for Iholr country. One in the crowd Called out "BOyS that's the blue hen's chicken let's follow him, ho is the game cock." Hence he pot the soubriquet, "game eocl;." It was from this crowd he en Utoted Jo3< ph I'.ennanhaly, ami a man who gave his name as Scott. He made Joseph Bennnnhnly his scout, In which capacity he continued during tilt war. He was a Caucasian of ' Aral)'* deS0< nt. Scott, the other man, wna always thought to be of partly i rench descent and had an assumed name, Qen, Bumter made him a bu? gler, After the war. for years he was bugler for the Clsremont Troop, com manded 1 y Got, Thomas sumter, only on ef Cen. Sumter, and at their mils lor parades he acted In that capacity. The lots Col. .las. Bland Ing and oth? ers remombored seeing htm, an old man in that capacity. He was .a tail or, and Col Rumter'f Wife, who wan n French lady, employed him to chat, her silk dross* ? which she got from Tran e. He USOd as soap for this pur i.oie the : o >i of the Bear Grass or Spanish Bayonet (hot:) (Tucco Alol folia) It being very cleansing and void of any grease and cleaned silk beau? tifully. Oon, Sumter. after tho Revolution? ary war gave the two old soldiers a niece of 'and near his home at state hurg, S. C, where they lived nnd hi ?rued for them during his lifetime. .Ios< ph Fennanhaly and the man Volt were either pirates or had CS aped from pirates?the writer ha>: forgottt n Which, but they were "white men." On one occasion the fact of 'heir dark complexion brought up the Uestlon of th' Ir having a right to sit >n a jury and When Oon, Sumter was tent for?the writer was told this by the late Col. Jas. \). Blttndlng, Wh< vas about 18 years old, who said h* *:\\v 'Ion. Sumter walk in, place hlK >istoi on a desk, and deliberately ?hake hands with both men and turn 'n% naked if that was sufficient? or lursc this was sufficient to establish 'hem Hi belonging to th" white race , the writer, got all of th's Informs ion as written above from my father who remembered Oen. Sumter well being 18 years old at his death, an vas told this by Cen. Sumter, whom he conversed with, and rode with often as a boy. He, my father, show ?d me the very spot on tho Statcbur.' hill where he said, "My son, here b where grandfather (meaning the old general) jumped his horse over thir llteh and escaped thence into the (Vaxaw country, after the Tories had surprised him over there at the ruins * t asked him if liennanhaly or Scott were with him and he laughed and said he did not know. I got some information myself, as n l.oy. from old Bailie Scott, who was the wife of the old Bugler, and also from Bennanhaloy's wife, but they were so old and feoblo that it all wai disconnected and Incoherent. 1 could not get much Information of the past, but chiefly confirmations of my questions, l was born and raised at the ol : "Home House." near where the Hen nanhaly's and Scotts and their fam Hies lived. They got to he called "Turks" by the country people. 1 ?:<> to knowing them by name during th w;ir and since the war of secession and lust before the war, I know tha If they ever wantetl advice or an', thing they WOUld come to my father or uncles or some of Hie fam 'y a their ancestors did to my an re it i and SS they have done with me In instance In regard to the pre: < n( 1 of the United States. T have ndv! them to put on the uniform; "fight f ? your country and teach your youu ? men to obey orders and remember that Wood row Wilson Is commander In chief of army and navy and super? ior ofllcer to all, and no matter how he obtains your services by draft or otherwise go. and obey orders hi whatsoever position you ure called up on to Ml In defense of our count'v You will be cured for. Many of you j litte myself, l ,am sorry to my, are no! allowed to 0 >, on account of age, 1 bu{ if 1 cannot ; ;o with you, 1 will do .1!'. ] can ?0 p t your j oung nun placed in position where lheir inheri? ted proclivities, patriotism and In Lclligenca will l*e rocognlzed ami ap? preciated In duo time. Always let them remember: it is better to ac t.iii.t by merit, on your part, than to acquire by favoritism or otherwise. The Dennanhalyg and Scotts are now prosperous farmers, and all good cltltons, as their ancestors always have been. They have their own school hous-e, their own church. I It is or has boon unfortunately, but nevertheless true, that on account of their Inherited dark complexions they have been confused with that class of j people known as Red Bones, scatter? ed about In North and South Carolina, but this is entirely a mistake. They have never made any alliances ex? cept with white people as all of us know who are conversant with their history. They tumtehed at least six soldiers to the Confederate armies. Warren and Dick Ilennanhaly joined Capt. R. M. Canty's company of Ker Bhnw's Brigade and wore killed. John Bennanhaly enlisted in some company from Marlobor county. Tom Bennan halcy, who is living and drawing his Confederate pension, with his broth? ers Charlie and Jake, went in and served under Capt. P, 1?. Gatllard, of HagO0d'8 Sharp Shooters. Charlie and Jak? were killed. Wintield Ben? nanhaly was also a soldier, In Spann'S company, and lost his life. All these men volunteered and were good soldiers. 1 am writing ibis now so that they can have it to Keep, and the young men who go to the war may have a copy to show whore they come from, who they are and what they deserve. I will keep a copy for my grandchil? dren, so in after days they will know that these men did their duty, as predicted bore and now by their t ? rand fat her. Thos. s. Bumter. 1 Bumter, s. c.

Chairman Coker or Council of Defense Slums How Public May Holp Rail? roads. Columbia, Sept. 10?David R. Cok? er of Hnrtsville, chairman of the State defense council, has issued the following statement to the people of South Carolina: ' Many of the Industrie? of the United states are threatened with heavy losses due to the fact that the railroad equipment of the country is inadequate to lake care of the tre |mendous volume of business which the ! country is now doing in addition to moving large bodies of troops and j their equipment Our people can do much to relieve this situation, if they will carry out the following sugges? tions: "All shippers: of carloads of mer? chandise should load cars as soon as I j placed and load them to full rapacity. I "All receivers of carload shipments ! should unload and release cars im? mediately. "The coal situation is especially acute and there is some complaint of ! slow movement of coal ears. The rail? roads are urged to see that there h no further cause for complaints of this nature. "Cotton gtnners should press bales to Hie minimum Blxe allowed by their equipment, :o that more bales can lie loaded per car. "Cotton and other merchandise shoidd be accumulated in minimum car lots before being shipped, and cotton exporters and mills should buy in maximum car lots instead of in lots of any number of bales. "The railroads have already issued rules forbidding the shipment of com? pressed cotton in less than full car? loads, but it is equally Important to load uncompressed cotton to capai Ity. "We trust that the buyers and sell? ers of cotton and other merchandise will see to it that wherever possible merchandise is tendered for shipment in full carload lots and in the most compact ami uniform packages." Chamber of Commerce Notes. Secretary Reardon is looking for one hundred progressive citizens, farmers and other business men wljo will volunteer to induce one hundred men to subscribe for live shares each of the capital stock of the co-opera? tive produce marketing association at $10 per share. Phone your name to Sumter Cham? ber of Commerce, Phone No. 200. Colored people will be admitted to membership In this association also, and are to be taken care of by the as? sociation the same as white produc? ers. Of course anyone may subscribe for one share if he likes, which is only $10, one-half payable with applica? tion for shares of stock. , Reports to the Chamber of Com? merce indicate Sumter county will have a greatly increased acreage |?| tobacco next year, if the seasons- are good. Planting of tobacco in the western sections of Sumter county where the soils are equally as fine for tobacco growing as anywhere else in this State, but where little tobacco has been grown heretofore, will add greatly to the wealth of the agricul? tural districts of Sumter county. Th?-> outlook for a continuation of <he high prices of 1917 are good he cause unusual demand for, and the scarcity of tobacco for last two years. Ruropean tobacco growing countries have been out of the tobacco growing business for three years practically, and will be for another year or two. The American tobacco crops which must supply the world have been short for two years, and the increased demand will keep up prices for two years or or more.
