A TRUE LOVE STORY.
BY w. ID. s.
MMMhthhhMhAAks,hhh

~ ~ ~ y y
All our magnificent farming lands
lying up from Laurens county to the
Blue Ridge mountains and to the Geor-
gia line were once owned by the Cher
okcc Indians. In 1888 the G]overnoriof
South Carolina purchased these lands
from the Indians and opened them up
for settlement.
The old Revolutionary war had just
closed, and many men were seeking
homes. The s. family we're the first
to move into Greenville District. They
bought lands and located on Reedy
river just above Dunklin bridge and up
the branch to Lebanon church. Hew-
lett, ST., married a Berkeley county girl
who had just moved up into the New
purchase. There were no ago in
use by the farmers. Timbers were cut
and hewed out into runners and vehicles
made to haul their produce on. He
placed his wife's clothing and household
goods on one of the sleds and moved to
his cabin. He and wife and negroes
"uihSu DSilllu Lie SlSu 10 InelT new nome.
From land grants for his services in the
war and trading cattle and horses he
soon owned much valuable land. Money
was a scarce commodity in those DAYS.
He paid the parson for marriage fee in
a pair of shoes that he had made. He
was blessed in his work, and in a few
years had sons, daughters, stock, ne
groes and lands. He named one son
Hewlett, Jr., after his W name. He
grew to be an active, robust and intel
ligent lad.
The P family moved up in this sec
ton. They had a daughter, Sallie, an
attractive young girl with raven hair,
fair features and eyes that could charm
ayoung man. Hewlett, IT., wwas perfect

old blue back speller, he accompanied

State Superintendent Martin and Politics

Let us examine the extraordinary out
break Of State Superintendent of Educa-
ton o. B. Martin. 1t is a jet of flame,
accompanied by rumbling and detona-
ton. But let us be calm, though crags
crack and caverns crumble while we
consider it.
Mr.. Martins objection to Ex-Govern-
or John G. Sheppard for a place on the
State Board of Education on the ground
that he is a politician excites curl
osity. Though he is doubtless a we'll
trained and clever "school man," it is
pretty well understood that Mr.. Martin
would not have defeated that rather
able "school man." Mr.. John j. McMa-
han, had he not been a politician
himself-indeed one of the liveliest that
ever "came down the pike"
Mr.. o. B. Martin objects to a "politi.
tician?" BY the Lord, Harry! Suffice
it to say, that if there be a politician in
South Carolina who can give Mr.. Martin
odds, he is a wonder that has not pas.
sed within our range of vision.
Seriously, Mr.. Martins assault or
Governor Ansel is cxcusable only on tho
plea that it provides merriment. Nc
tremendous issue can be had out of the
matter. If the Governor was wrong ir
negiecting to consult the State Superin.
tendent, it was a little wrong, a wee,
small wrong, by no means intentional
and not deadly in its effects. The Ian.
guage ofthe Superintendent is intemper-
ate and therefore absurd. The people
will laugh at the Superintendent of Ed,
ucation and they will recall that the
present Governor is never Stupid O,
indecent 1t is quite impossible that
the Governor would desire to reduce
the Importance of the Superintendent
of Education. That would be a sin.
Meantime, the appointment of Mr..
John G. Sheppard is wise. The State
will be especially fortunate to have the
services of this accomplished and sue
cessful man Of affairs on it's Board of
Education. Mr.. Sheppard happens to
be one of the foremost men in South
Carolina, a lawyer of the widest cul-
ture and most admirable ability and
attractive personality. He has had
exceptional business experience and he
has been deeply and actively interested
in schools and colleges all his life. Mr..
Sheppard would be n valuable member
even of a medical board or a ''phar-
maceutical board" to reply to Mr..
Martins fling, or of any other board
upon which the presence of a really
strong and big man would be desirable.
Although the suggestion will scarcely
peep into Mr. Martins mind, we be-
lieve that Mr.. Sheppard would prove
IN uncommonly efficient State Superin-
tendent of Education could he be pre-
vailed upon to accept that post. When
a man of his stamp can be induced to
serve upon a State board, sensible per-
sons will find encouragement and cause
for congratulation in the incident.
But again, we would rebuke any init
nation from any source rejecting upon
or belittling Mr.. Martin rcnown as a
politician"
Politics is his long suit and may make
him Governor some day. Nothing else
will. News and Courier.

Machinery is digging the Panama
Canal a thousand times quicker thar
the shovel dug the Erie.
Machinery produces the l.. & M. Paint
at fifty times less cost for labor, than
if made by hand.
The l.. & M. gives the best job in the
world, because l.. & M. Zinc hardens

M. Paint wear like iron for 10 to IL
years.
1t only requires 4 gallons of this cele,

If any defect exists in l.. g. M. Paint

family had moved to Abbeville, C. H.
His father gave him a farm and q fn~-
negroes to cultivate the laiiu, and
went to work to put in a crop. After
everything was gotten in good shape,
his mind was constantly going out to
the home of his sweetheart. A nice
suit of broad cloth was bought, a new
saddle was purchased and he was
ready to mount his horse and start for
Abbeville. Everybody.in these days rode
horseback. About sun down he reached
the red hills of Long Cane Creek in a
few miles of the village. AS he was
slowly picking his way through the mud
guiding his horse next to the ditch, the
horse being blind in n eye, slipped off
and Tell into the gully with him. He
was plastered with red mud, and his
fine broad cloth coat split from collar
to tail. He was in 4 bad p~redicament,
got his horse out of the gully and led
him up to a neighboring house and OBJ
tanned leave to spend the night there.
The good lady of the house hunted a
suit of clothes for him, washed off the
mud and darned up the rents in his
suit and had everything in order next
morning. After settling his bill fol
lodging and damages, he mounted one
eye and started for the town. He rode w
to the horse rack, ~dismounted and went
into the hotel to meet Miss Sallie. Meet,
ing no n in the office but hearing
voices in the adjoining room he looked
in, the door being ajar, and saw Miss
Sallie sitting by the side of a youne
man that was reading law at the Court
House. From the happy looks and gen
eral appearance of things he instantly
came to the conclusion that he was toe
late, and walked sadly out of the hotel
mounted his horse and rode out o
AbbeVille. A day too late. If he hac
got in the night before he intended t.
ask Sallie to set the day and fix W
everything to bring his wife home tn,
next trip.
He always firmly believed the old blint
horse falling into the ditch caused hin
not to marry. He lost faith in woman
kind, and through a long life never woulc
court another woman but devoted hi
time to ~cultivating his farm and making
money. Not long before his death h,
related his courtship to me, and hc
advised all his nephews to marry anc
raise families if they ever expected to b,
any account in this world.
| could see that the old man had ;
tender place in his heart for Sallie ant
loved her as long as he lived.
Mr.. P resided several years a
Abbeville, run the hotel and edited tn,
independent Press, and finally moved
to Alabama. Miss Sallie and the law
yer did not marry. He moved off tc
Charleston and she afte rwards married
a planter over in the flat woods, lived tt
a good old age, and left a family O.
very intelligent children.
