A. H. Miller. AFTER SIX YEARS. Union Testimony Remains Unshaken. Time is the best test of truth. Here is a Union story that has stood the test of time. It is a story with a point which will come straight home to many of us. John Petty, 70 W. Main St., Union, says: "Weak kidneys caused pains though the small of my back and they were so severe at times that I couldn't sleep. My kidneys acted irregular in passage. I used different medicine, but didn't getVpermanent benefit until I took Doan's Kidney Pills." Statement given February 15, 1908). OVER SIX YEARS LATER, Mr. Pf>t t V "I Vicivnn'f nrvti/'o/l 4 slightest sign of kidney trouble or backache since I used Doan's Kidney I'ills." Price HOc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr. Petty has twice publicly recommended. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. NOTICE.

Henry Baile r ] from Virginia lived about here fc , some time. He was a fellow studei , of Lemuel Alston in William ar Mary college, Virginia, and came hei after his graduation with young All ton. Mr. Bailey was a great favorit a genial companion and an ccon plished gentleman. He taught scho< 1 for a while, afterward went to Chai ! leston, studied law and settled ther ! His son, Henry Bailey, was the ai torney general for South Carolina fc several years. I have some beautifi | old letters from Henry Bailey to Ma j Henderson, my great-grandfathe , | containing accounts of many interesi , ing events occurring in Charlesto , 100 years ago. David Johnson boarded at Chis holm's near the Potter place, wher Mr. Nott lived and had his office. M Chisolm had one daughter, Mis Nancy, the beauty and belle of th : country. Of course, young Davi could not be so constantly associate with the pretty Nancy and remain ir sensible to her charms, and Nanc felt more than the cold regard c friendship for the handsome youn David. But, alas! The maiden wa poor and the swath yet had his foi tune to make so Nancy was wise an married a rich suitor. David was bes man at the wedding and led in th wild ride for the bottle, all of whic I heard him relate with evident deligh at the recollection when he was venerable old man, our greatly re spected and beloved friend, Gov. Davi Johnson. Miss Angelica Mitchell, the wife o , Abram Nott, later on Judge Nott o ; Columbia, was a relative we were a very fond and proud of. She wa born and brought up here and live the early years of her happy marrie life on Pacolet, and her first childre were born here, She was a woman o rare endowments, had a fine mint far more than ordinary culture, kindly and pleasant disposition, unite to great energy, character and a for titude that seemed novcr to give wa under the severest trials. In my lif I have never known her superior an few who could compare with her ii all the qualities that go to form th highest character of woman. A Itare Character. But decidedly the most notable wo man of this old neighborhood o Grindal was Miss Sallie Goudelocfc I I approach the subject with hesitancj I fr,,. i* (nl,? _ TIV-IJ iv/1 IV tvuuuj tai\c viitJ j#dl Ul iX V ItJIU ing, a Smollet and many more o her favorite old English authors t do her justice. Miss Sallie Goude lock was the oldest daughter of Mi Goudelock of Scotch descent, wh lived on north Pacolet. When Ma, Henderson moved here from Nort Carolina, Miss Sallie was then, ha been and continued to be the ac knowledged leader of society. Sh had passed through the war an arden Whig, giving aid and all her sym pathies to the cause. She had krfow many notable characters of the time! both Whig, Britisher and Tory, fo her father was a lame man, a nor combatant, so it followed that hi house was frequented by all parties She had visited Morgan at his cam at Grindal ford in company with he father and sister and was escorte home by Col. William Washingto and Col. Howard. It was delightfi to hear her relate her experience during the war. In Mrs. Henderson, my great-grand mother, Miss Sally found a con^eni? companion. This friendship grc^ with the years and Miss Sally wa i aiso the friend of Mrs. Henderson daughter, Mrs. Fernandez. l>y th time Mrs. Fernandez's daughters earn on, Miss Sally had taken a partnei Thomas Murray. As Mrs. Murra she was the dear friend of my mothci who was the daughter of Mrs. Fei nandez and the venerable, respecte< beloved friend of my mother's laug! ters, and this one now writing onl wishes she had the gift and ability t picture the character of this noble ol lady. Her One Hebetude. ! Mrs. Murray was long past her se | ond youth when she married Thomi ; Murray, a handsome young man, oiiit | smart and a great reader, but man ] years her junior and who was, mor< lover, dissipated. Miss Sally's mai ! riage was the one folly of her lif and as she often said in after yeari i she pleased her eye but pained he heart when she married Tommy Mui ray. She had a good property, lan and negroes, but it did not tak I Tommy many years to spend it an ! reduce her to poverty and depenc | ence, all of which she bore with th most cheerful resignation. But n one could ever associate with Mr. I Murrav anvthincr tint sim?hinf? ?n happiness. She must have been a woman t preat natural ability, for her advar ! tapes had been few. She was reader and eaper for knowledpe n j self-improvement. Her memory wa j somethinp wonderful. She could, i her old ape, recite ballad after bal T lad that she had learned in her youth ? was familiar with the early Englis authors, quite an admirer of Dr. John ~ son. Her favorite maid was calle m Peknah after one of Johnson's hero ines. She was always ready with quotation from some favorite autho and could make apt application of it I remember after she was a ver; ? old lady', a widow living all alone u; r" in the hills, taking a young friend o 3" mine to visit her. The young: lad; [d was very beautiful and her name wa le Aurora. When I introduced m; friend, Mrs. Murray took her ham and smilingly said. "She is 'neithe "e Rora nor Dora nor Sheleneghira, bu 10 ; her name is the fair Deginira.' " J finished woman of society could no ' y Iiave made a more graceful compli >r ment and it took me many day ^ searching before I found the poer amongst the old British poets tha "e she quoted from. But her mind wa a storehouse filled with poetry am e? 'omance. l" She was the welcome guest at al 3 the gatherings in the country, and wa r" elated or connected with a grea e" many of the families. I can remem l er at the grand dinners and famil; uatherings at the Nuckolls mansioi 11 . .. ... . . ? . now me Kina ana courtly Willian J" Xuckolls would take Mrs. Murray 01 r' his arm, giving her precedence ove all the assembled guests, and escor n her to the table, and how the brigh old lady was the life and soul of tha table. e A Visit to Charleston. r* One of the incidents of interest ii ,s Mrs. Murray's life handed down to u '? was her visit to Charleston. In th ^ early times just after the close of th' Revolution, Miss Sally, as she wa l~ then, had always felt an earnest de ^ sire to visit the city and see the oceai so she resolved to go. There were n< ^ traveling facilities in those days, s< 3 Miss Sally mounted her pood steed " and went alonp with her brother whei *7 he carried their produce to market b; wapon. She arrived in the city, foum ? suitable quarters, had hei crop sol< and set about spending her money She bought for herself a handsomi a blue silk gown and an adornment fo, her head which she called her jockej cap, crowned with an ostrich plume j. and a neglace of brilliants known ai ^ her diamond necklace. She explorec the city from one point to another seeing all that was of interest to her "j One evening she was missing anc Brother Billy set out in search ol 1 her. After much trouble and hare " walking, he traced her to the wharf j There was in the harbor a fine British / man-of-war, and on finding that she 'j had gone on board he followed, anc there was Miss Sally in all her glorj ~ dining with the British officers anc \ just having a royal time. She woulc . relate this episode with the greatesl { delight. The famous costume, the blue silk jockey cap and diamond necklace, ap peared afterwards on all grand occasions. Our old ladies did not change ^ their fashions often, but when thej got a costume it cost money, and ii " served more than one generation. ' Mrs. Murray was not hnadsome, bui ^ had a fine, strong face. She was sometimes accused of vanity, bui really what often appeared vanity ir her was only a proper self-apprecia tion that went to form the beautifu . roundup of her character and make o: her a complete and perfect woman. A Sensible Woman. Mrs. Murray was a member of th< iFair Forest Presbyterian church anc t a deeply religious woman, but he] mind was too broad and comprehen ^ive to be influenced by the very rigic hnd sometimes fanatical views of th< ' churches in those days. When th( religious reaction set in after a lonj oeriod of license in the Church o 3 England, one of the very earnest bu *' unwise old Methodist circuit rider: ^ berated the ladies of the settlemen (j from the pulpit for their fine clothes n Mrs. Murray met him soon after am I itook him to task for desecrating: thi s pulpit with such trivial matters as i woman's dress. "As for me," she toll him, "I consider adornment a neces sity ,a thing: women owe to them II selves. I would as lief have a co\ lV without a tail as a bonnet without i s bow." Mrs. Murray settled the oh s fellow; he let the women alone afte e that. e She was fond of dancing: and en r\ joyed it long after the period whei y most women g:ive it up. She once sail r> in defense of dancing: that she thoug:h it made the heart rejoice and g:ratefu *' to the Creator "to move by sound o flute and fiddle, clap hands and dowi y the middle" and that she had neve ^ made a more earnest prayer anywher than in a ball room. A sharp tong:ue< old crony said aside, "I don't doub Sally did pray, but it was for a part " ner." s Well, I have looked back beyom 0 an hundred years and tried to recal y the past of my old people. Now fare well, shades of Grindal! The shad ows erather round me. the nierht come e on, when I too must follow to tha s? unknown shore. S. A. Sims. ir Grindal, Union County. December 1, 1894.
