THOSE MYSTERIOUS COINS.

Since the last issue Of THE ENQUIRER,
some new and accurate information
has developed about those gold coins
recently discovered by Fred Wallace,
of the Clark's Fork neighborhood, in
his pig pen.
Mr.. r. M. Wallace, Of the same
neighborhood, and who Is reliable, was
in Yorkville last Friday. He gave
some additional pointers.
The coins were really found in the
pig pen, as claimed by the Negro, in
one Of his stories, and the circumstan-
ces Of the finding are substantially as
already related. Mr.. Wallace went to
the place last week and found several
more coins, including some bits
quarters and halves. His search was
thorough, he thinks, and it Is probable
that the entire treasure has been re-
covered. In all there are now rs coins,
and their intrinsic value Is somewhat
in the neighborhood Of 5000.
According to Mr.. Wallace, the pig
pen was built about the decayed
stump of an ancient chestnut tree that
fell to the ground many years ago. The
chestnut stood near the side Of the
Adair's Ferry road, about ten miles
from Yorkville. 1t is remembered by
older citizens Of the neighborhood, and
they also remember that the trunk was
hollow. From the size Of the tree, Mr..
Wallace thinks it must have been $50
or 200 years old, possibly older. The
gold of course, had been deposited in
the hollow trunk years before.

WE have with the compliments Of
the author, a copy Of Rev. J. D. Bal
ley's sketch of the life and career Of
Colonel James Williams. This pamphlet
was published in 1898, and contains 81
pages, printed in large clear type. The
story is we'll and truthfully told and
Is very interesting reading. There is
lots of valuable Revolutionary history
in it. although patriot, fierce fight
er and without a drop Of cowardly
blood in his veins, Colonel Williams is
shown to have had his faults as other
men have. There were jealousies and
chickering's between himself and other
Revolutionary leaders, especially Sum-
ter, Hill and Lacy, and it Is made pref
ty clear In the sketch that If he had
carried his point the battle of Kings
Mountain would never have been
fought. Colonel Williams was anxious
to take the army that had been raised
against Ferguson over in the rNinety-
Six district for the purpose Of wiping
the British and tories out Of that
neighborhood. In his efforts to accom-
plish this, he did some things that he
ought not to have done, which things
have laid him open to severe criticism.
But he is not to be condemned by this
generation. He gave ample proof Of
his sincerity and devotion to the cause
of his country. On account Of less seri-
Gus differences than he had with his
colleagues, other leaders like Bloody
Bill Cunningham Joined the tories and
British. Notwithstanding bitterness
that grew out Of the proposed Ninety
Six expedition, which bitterness was
sufficient to keep Colonel Williams out
of the council Of war that was held just
before the battle of Kings Mountain,
and notwithstanding the fact that Col
onel Williams had an Independent COM
mand that would have followed wher-
ever he was inclined to lead, he Joined
in the attack and did his full duty, lay
ing down his life in the moment Of vic
tory. The memory of Colonel Williams
is entitled to be held in the highest
honor and esteem. Rev. Mr.. Bailey's
pamphlet, too, is entitled to wide cir
culation. It can be read with interest
and profit by hundreds Of people 9TH
erwise we'll informed; but who know
too little about the revolutionary his
tory of this part of the state. The
price Of the pamphlet is 35 cents. 1t
can be obtained by sending that
amount to Rev. J. D. Bailey, Cowpens,
South Carolina.

Judge Benet On Concealed Weapons.

Laurens correspondence Of Columbia
State: The final presentment Of the
grand jury was handed in Thursday
afternoon, and in commenting upon
the various presentments therein con-
tanned and before dismissing the body,
his honor, Judge Benet, took up and
discussed at length the penalty for the
pernicious practice Of carrying conceal
ed weapons. There were during the
past year 247 homicides in this state,
the vast majority being victims OF the
handy pocket pistol. The tendency Is
appalling when we think Of the 250 or
more lives to be thus ended in the next
12 months. 1t Is violation Of the law
in this state to carry concealed weap-
ons; but who will undertake to prose-
cute a case now, as the practice has
become so general that even officials
and jurors are not uncommon Violators
of this very statute. AS possible
remedy a legislative act is suggested
which will make 1t unlawful to own,
carry, buy or sell pistols unless they
are Of a certain size-too large to carry
in the pocket. The law guaranteeing
the right to bear arms has been con-
strued by some courts to apply to the
vest or hip pocket pistol. 1t Is obvious
that a remedial measure should be urg-
ed by all lovers Of law and Christiani-
ty. These remarks by the judge occa-
stoned by reference to the matter, were
no doubt called forth by the generous
character Of the murder cases being
tried here this week. in which the no
torious pistol always came in as the
means Of execution.

FARM LABOR.

The farm labor problem has grown
to be a most perplexing one through
out this section, and so far as THE EN-
oU1RER has information, nobody seems
to even have in mind a satisfactory So
luton.
In the hearing Of the writer the other
day, a prominent and successful farm
er of the county made this remark: "I
have been working Negroes for more
than so years. I have worked them as
slaves and I have worked them as free
men; but in all my experience, have
never seen them so trif1ing and unrelia-
BILE as now. Make a contract with a
family, and nine cases out Of ten, by
the time you have given out all that
Is coming to them they pick up and
leave. You can put them in Jail; but
what good will that do you? And with
rare exceptions white laborers are no
better"
This complaint is common through
out the whole country. Near the towns,
the situation is worse than further
out in the country; but further out in
the country it Is bad enough. One Sc
rious cause or effective don't know
which-is the increasing liquor traffic.
Quantities Of Illicit liquor is sold in all
quarters Of the country. The vendors
are disreputable Negroes and whites,
and the business Is debauching the
whole country.
There should be some remedy for
this situation. We are unable to make
suggestion that will cover the case.
What is to be done?.
