WHO WAS LAURENS COUNTY NAMED FOR?|
1T Seems That Doubt Still Remains i'm the Minds of
Some as to Whether 1T was John or Henry Laurens.
Named After Henry Laurens.

The utterance of Congressman JOS
T. Johnson, at the ceremonies incident
upon the laying of the cornerstone of
the remodeled court house several
weeks ago, that it was not known
whether the county of Laurens was
named after Henry or John Laurens
has again brought up discussion
which seems to have been definitely
settled by the exchange of correspond
ence carried on by the late Col. T. b.
Crews, when editor of The Laurens-
Vile Herald, and the editor of the
News and Courier. The correspond
ence as carried on by these two pa
pers has been furnished by Mr.. c. d.
Barksdale, son of Dr. John A. Barks-
than Downs spoken of by Mr.. John
son as the man who proposed Laurens
as the name of the county These pa
pers go TO show beyond a reasonable
doubt that the county was named for
Henry Lauiens.
The cliprmg that dates further back
than any WIS Jalten from the Lnurens-
VILE Herald which had taken it from
the News and Courier. This was writ
ten by DR.. John A. Barksdale in 1887

Courier as TO who the county was
named for. 1t is as follows:

documentary Evidence,

THE Charleston News and Courier,
in speaking of the proposition to
erect monument to Henry Laurens.
the man in whose honor the county of
Laurens was named says that al
though this opinion does not rest on
documentary evidence, It Is highly
probable that DR. Barksdale is cor
rect'-in stating that the county was
named in honor of Henry Laurens in
stead of John Laurens.
If the editor of the News and Cour-
Ter will consult mills Statistics of
South Carolina" he will observe on
page 60i, that the author states that
the name of this District was given
in honor of that great patriot, Henry
Laurens.' If this isn't "documcntary
evidence" the News and Courier might
possibly find convincing proof among
the same records in which it discov-
cred that Charleston county is tho
original territory embraced in the Car
den of Eden.
Webcr's School History might pos
sibly assist the editor in his search for
historical facts concerning Laugeus
county as that publication is the only
history IN which we have ever seen
the statement that the original name
OF Laurers county was "Cravcn." TN
der the Royal governments. the tarri-
tory now comprising Iaurcns county
was portion OF the large territory
then embraced under the name of
Craven" county. and reached from the
Seacoast to the mountains. After the
Revolution, the State was divided into
Districts, and Laurcns was placed i'm
what was then known as Ninety Six
District. 1t was previous to this time,
however. that Mai. Downs declined the
honor of having the name of Craven"
changed to Downs county, and sug-
&cstcd the namc of l.aurons, i'm honor
of his patriot-fricnd, Henry Laurcns
We think the News and Courier
ought to be satisfied that the claim
that l.aurcns was named in honor OF
Henry Laurens. instead of John l.au-
rens, is not legendary, but "documen-
tary."

nit the following: On page col, OF

The name of this District was given
i'll honor of that great patriot, Henry

book, occurs the following: eminent
men-Major Jonathan Downs and
John Hunter distinguished themselves
during the Revolution-the first in
the field, the last in the councils Of
his country" etc.
These men were probably both in
the General Assembly of the State, or
when Laurens Ca part of the old
NinetySiX districO was made a sepa-

proposed to call the district Downs,
in honor of Major Downs, he declined,

A Monument to the Laurens's.

A. few weeks ago Mr.. Luther A.
McCord, of Laurens, made the very
interesting suggestion that the peo-
pie of his city ererr on the public
square monument in honor of John
Laurens, the brilliant young soldier
and diplomat of the Revolution. Mr..
McCord's impression was that the
county and city of Laurens were nam.
ed in honor of the younger Laurens.
but John A. Barksdale, a venerable
and beloved citizen of the town. and
a relative of Major Jonathan Downs.
the Revolutionary patriot who was of
the commission that iaid out the coun-
ty in the latter part Of the Eighteenth
Century, is of The opinion that the
name was given i'm honor OF Henry
Laurens, the father of Jchn. Although
this opinion does not rest on documcn-
tary evidence, it is highly probable
that DR.. Barksdale is correct.
AT any rate it would be very hap
py consummaticn if jae monumcnt
should be built, and it would be well
to make it Il memorial to both of the
L&urens's who in different ways were
equally DISTINGUISHED ror their LOFT
patriotism and eminent services to
their STRUGGLING country. 1t would be
an especially fine thing for Laurcns
people to build it because it would
signalize and testify TO The unity OF

However the question seems to have
come up again in 1907 when Mr.. l.. a.
McCord suggested that monument
be raised to the memory and in honor
of John Laurens' for whom Mr. Nc
Cord stated the county was named.
Col Crews on information given by Dr..
Barksdale, corrected the impression
in the following editorial:

MORMONS TO ISSUE VIEWS
Nothing Secret About Church,
Saws Elder Here.

Ben E. Rich. an elder of the Mormon
Church and president of the Mormon
Mission. said last night that he had re-
ceived telegram from Joseph +. Smith
head of the Mormon Church, authorizing
him TO say that il was his intention 10
publish in book form a set of interior ana
exterior views Of all the Mormon temples.
This action is the result of the recent
controversy between Max Florence, res
ident of Salt Lake City. and the Mormon
Church. in which Florence sought to dis
pose Of a set Of photographs showing the
interior of the Mormon temple in salt
Lake City for 100000.
Mr.. Rich said: so far as the rooms
and furnishings of the salt Lake tenn
pIe are concerned there is nothing secret
about them When the building was fin
ished the authorities Of the Church IN
yited 500 non Mormons TO view its beau
". and one entire day was spent in show
ing them through the edifice. II was eX-
plained at that time that under the rules
of the Church the building would he
closed after its dedication To all but
members of the Mormon faith
"A description of the temple was pub
ushed in The Salt Lake Tribune. and
since that time many pictures of the in
terror have been published. The pictures
for which Mr. Florence asks 100000 are
not worth s. in our estimation"
When the booklet which Mr.. Smith is
having published is ready II will he dis
