York county is full OF historic in
terest, and it's people are awake in
the matter Of preserving this heri-
tage from their ancestors. Heesntly
there was an occasion OF unusual in
tekest at Brattonville, which was the
eeiebkstion of Huck's defeat and un-
yelling monument to the heroes
who won the victory. The Yorkville
Enquirer gives full a.,d interesting
account of the celebration, which was
ander the auspices of the Daughters
OF the American Revolution, and the
speech of Congressman ID. f. Finley.
which is descriptive Of the engage
ment and the military situation OF
the times. is worthy of preservation.
The battle was fought ON the 18th OF
July, 1880, and the number engaged
was quite small, Americans $50 and
British 900, but the defeat aud death
OF Huck was followed by the victory
at Musgrove's Mill, which led mp to
the battle Of Kings Mountain, Octo-
ber Z, 1850. Mr.. Finley says: with
out Huck's defeat the battle of Mus
groves Mill would hardly have been
fought, and without these victories
there Is little likelihood that the bat
Ties OF Kings Mountain and Cowpens
would have taken place, and without
these battles it is improbable that
the war of the Revolution would have
been successful. ."-GreenvilIe Noun

The police are on the lookout for a
swindler. who undertook two weeks ago
to work off two bogus checks. one for
$500 and the other for sl0o =. That both
checks were worthless was not definitely
settled for several days.
The fellow. who was we'll dressed and a
slick talker. claimed to be f. +. Frey,
son OF A. Il. Frey OF the Pattoff and
Frey Iron Works. Cincinnati. He applied
to Dr. Thomas F.. Rowe OF 96 Weybosset
street for office room. and contracted
with Charles w. Calder to put up a par
tition. which was to cost $50.
Then he asked where he could conven-
iently carry his bank account. As ne

be obliged TO use considerable money.
lie was introduced at the Union Trust
company, where he presented check for
$500 His desire was 10 deposit that for
collection and to draw 800 for immediate
expenses.
DR.. Rowe was invited to indorse this
check. but declined to do So Not at az

Of the funds by the usual banking pro-
cess
Subsequently Frey gave DR. Rowe a
certified check for 800 purporting to have
been given out by a Cincinnati bank. The
figures were perforated. the banks stamp
across the face was the name of the Pot
toff and Frey Iron company.
The earmarks OF genuineness seemed
perfect. with one exception-the certihca-
tion was upon the back instead OF the
face Of the check. just the reverse OF
banking custom.
Dr. Rowe was invited 10 cash the
check pay Mr.. Calder his $40 and deduct
n quarters rent In advance. The trick
was a good one. and perhaps DR.. Rowe
might have been fooled. had he not de-
