CLEVELAND AND PERRY.

"Of the Few, Immortal Names that
Were Not Born to Dic."- Cleveland
the Pioneer and Soldier, Perry the
Patriot and Statesman.
DR.. Muench, of Charleston, Is con-
tributing a series of sketches for the
Sunday News of that city, and the fol-
lowing tribute TO Col. Ben Cleveland
and Maj. Ben Perry deserves perusal
by our readers. He Is writing about
Fort Moore, which was situated ut the
confluence of the Tugaloo and Chatuga
rivers in Oeonoe County:
Not very far from the site of the fort,
whereof the hand Of time has ,obliter-
ated every trace, stands the homestead
Of another participant in the same
war, the homo Of Col. Benjamin Clevc-
land.
If any particular man wore to be
chosen as representative of the noun
taineers of South Carolina as they
showed themselves in the Revolution
ary war, and as many of their descend
ants oven now are found to be, it is this
man. OF extraordinary size, (his
weight nigh 500 pounds) Of muscular
strength almost incredible, of an en-
durance Of toll, of hunger and thirst
unequalled, he combined with these
qualities q fearlessncss and courage, a
presence Of mind and directness Of
Judgment, a truthfulncss and honesty
| of character, that in reading OF him we
verify believe to have the picture of
Hercules presented to us. Though
having never in his life attended Il
school, he managed by self-study and
application to acquire sufficient educa-
tion to become land surveyor, and
later on, when elected Judge of the
| o. VI of
he had never read law, his decisions
wore invariably marked by clear judg
mcnt and correct legal viows. He must
have been a man of great authority
and influence among his people, which
Is proven by the fact that, while the
names OF other contemporaries OF his
arc forgotten, not only his name, but
even countless stories about him live
even in the present time among the
people. So In Wilkes County, whore
he first settled, you can still hear Of his
feats of valor, Of his fights with Ind
ians, Tories and wild boasts, performed
in his lonely wanderings over the
mountains in the pursuit Of his calling
as land surveyor so also his speech,
addressed to his command before the
battle Of Kings Mountain, is the only
one Of all the addresses delivered else
