Honest Ben Shirley.

Sun Of last week says:
A few days since Mr.. Johr R. Kay told
us little incident concerning our VEN
erable old friend of Shoal Geek district,
>Afr. BENZ. Shirley. Some time ago Mr..
Kay was In Anderson, s. c., and met an
old friend of his, Hon. B. r: Crayton,
who for many years was leading mer-
chant Of Anderson; dating back to the
good old days way before the war. Mr..
Crayton asked Mr.. Kay if lie was not
relative of Ben Shirley. Mr. Kay re-
piled that he was cousin. ~ thought
sou said Mr.. c., "and wani to tell you
something about him." And Mr.. C.
went on to state that in looking back
over his old books he discovered an ac-
count against BENZ. Shirley, for S25 that
had no credit to 1t. Mr.. Shirley had
moved somewhere in Georgia about 40
years previous to his finding the account
and it struck Mr.. @. that ha would like
to hear from his old friend and customer,
and knowing his sterling honesty he
would send the account to him. and ask
him II he had paid it. He wrote to
BENZ. Shirley at Harmony Grove, who
proved to be the wrong man: Afterwards
he heard that Mr.. s. resided in Hart
county. He wrote to him. Mr.. s. did
not answer the letter but went in per-
son to see Mr.. G. The account had es-
capped his-attention, but he remembered
perfectly that it had not beer paid. He
insisted upon paying the account at ten
per cent. interest, but Mr.. G., who was
more than willing to receive the principal
refused to take that much, but they COM
promised on $65, which sum Uncle Ben
paid over, remarking, IT couldn't rest
satisfied in my grave II I knew that debt
warn't paid" Some one has said that an
honest man is the noblest work of God.
