"a T BUILDING.
The Old Post ONCE at chariess Has

The Old Post ONCE at Charless i. Has
Seen Famous Men.
Among the quaint old structures OF
Charleston our old post office build
ing takes the lead in historic interest," -
said Mr.. James S. Murdoch, a leading
wholesale merchant of the Carolina me-
tropolis. Mr.. Murdoch is here with a
delegation of his townsmen to ask con-
gress to make a modest appropriation
so as to donate the aforesaid antique
edifice to the city.
"The old post Office" said he, was
built of brick imported from England
in 1867 under the direction of a COM
mittee of the colonial assembly. Its
leading members were John RutIedge,
Henry Laurens and Thomas Lynch,
who later took a prominent part in the
formation of the republic, and whose
names will be found among the signers
of the Declaration Of Independence.
During the occupation of Charleston by
the British it was used as a prison, and
between 60 and 10 of the best citizens
were confined there before their re-
moval to st. Augustine, Fla. In the
number was Col. Isaac Haynes, of the
celebrated family of that name. In
revenge for the execution of Mai. Andre
Haynes was taken out from prison and
suffered the death penalty by orders of
Col. Balfour, then in command, with
out the formality of a trial.
I'm 1890, when Gen. Washington WIS.,
tied Charleston, it was the same old
building that he was entertained, and
a splendid ball was given in his honor
by the wealthy planters of the state,
cooperating with the town people.
With such historic associations sur
rounding it u people naturally take
u deep interest in their old post office,
and the idea Is to keep it in its orig
inal condition as a sacred memento of
the past."-Washington Post.

Old man Sol Simpkins has now been

three times with them same blue
