THE NEWBERRY OF
DAYS THAT AREPAST.
LETTER FROM A FORMER RNEWBERRIAN,
NOW IN TEXAS.
Memories of Great Men and Coed Men and
Graceful and Lovely Women OF
The Old Newherry.

Going north from Stewards, we
reach the happy home Of Drayton
Nance, one Of natures noblemen
and his amiab!e wife. Lucy (Wil-
liams) descendant OF one of the
grand heroes of Kings Mountain.
Col. James Williams. She was a
lovely example of the radiant
dream that turks in the word wo-
man." Think of Drayton Nance
as he lived and you will be a better
man. He was genial, natural,
cordial and intellectual, disclosing
the goodness and greatness of his
heart; in his family he was always
gentle, generous, good humored and
ahectionate: in society pure exam
pie of the complete Christian gen.
tleman, yes, he was a great hearted
man, with a soul as white and pu, :
as a. lily. He often had a laugh
on me, telling when I was little
chap, at dinner at his house, he
asked if I would have anything
more and I replied, yes, pointing
my finger, I'll have some more
''tollards.'' He never said a weak
Or worthless thing. I remember
with pleasure their four daughters,
Martha, Fanny, Laura and Mary.
Martha, a most interesting asG
loveable girl, married D.. Barks-
dale; FsEny, warm hearted,
charming lady, sweet tempered and
gentle, with pleasant, easy manners,
married Maj. Baxter. lawyer Of
great ability and upright conduct;
Laura, a pleasant and beautiful girl,
Mary, who wife says was as beautl-
ful as dream, VIM. F. was pol
ished, literary and handsome man,
James D. hero, brave and gentle.
Newberry wouA honor herself by
\erecting a monument to his memory
in the public square. When we
left for Texas he was at the mill
tary academy. Ny wife says he
was remarkably handsome. What
beautiful tribute J. F. J. Caldwell
gives him in his In Memoriam.'
With him
'sThe path of duty was the way to
glory
tsHe is gone who was so great,
!tGone; but nothing can bereave him
Of the force, he made his own
"Being here, and we believe him
Something far advanced in state,
sAnd that he wears truer crown,
Ethan any wreath that man can weave
him.
s'God accept him, Chriss receive him."
/ remember Robert R , brother
to Drayton Nance, when he was
sheriff. O'Neall in the Annals
pays him a loving tribute; indeed
he was a worthy man, gentle and
kind and beloved by all who knew
him. He married Miss Mary Pope,
sister of Thos. H., and aunt Of my
wife. She had a sunny sweetness
of temperament, and in her youth
Vas remarkably handsome.
Passing east we come to a two
story dwelling first occupied by
whom I know not. Afterwards
Iohn Coate and his neat quick,
lively wife. Tom (Sims) Coate
lived there, and their son Tom. He
was grandson to the John Coate
who gave to the public the court
house block. He was a solid man,
one in whom to trust. His manner
roc hoor+y and businesslike. He

icle says of the occurrence: For near
ly five hours Saturday night the safety
of the American ship st. David hung

able disaster. At the end of a long trip

coal, the st. David was sailing toward
the harbor, when the vessel was caught
in the grip of the strong tide and car
ried to point within 500 feet of Mile
rock. This was at 1880 o'clock Satur-
day night. When he saw his predica-
ment, Captain Grant let slip an an
Choir, which, fortunately, held. But for
the remainder of the night, or until 4
o'clock yesterday morning, the st.
David swung dangerously close to i'm
pending destruction on the rock. At
that hour, the wind being favorable,
the ship was put under sail and bore
away from tne menace ana INTO the
harhor. The st. David left the Aus
trallan coal port on March 22d and had
strong northwest gales for thirtysiX
hours off Lord Howe island. Nothing
was seen of the distressed bark Hol-
liswood, which left Newcastle three
weeks before the st. David, and which
was last reported off this coast. The
