THE COUNTY FAIR MEETING.
Proposed to Hold Same ut Oalkway
Instead Of Walhalla.

Editor Keowee Courier: At the
meeting held at the Court House on
the 18th we agreed to hold the next
meeting at the Court House on the
2Sth, but after considering the mat
ter we find that the farmers have
that date set to meet at Oakway.
Therefore we will consolidate the
fair meeting and farmers meeting,
not at Walhalla on the 28th, but at
Oakway, and we do hope that both
towns and country will say what
they are willing to do. What do you
want? Is 1t fair? If so, come
and say SO. 1t Is up to the people of
the county. What say you? am
sure that some good reasoning Is all
the people need, so come and let us
reason together. What will the far
mer do to help get the fair? And,
Mr.. Townsman, what do you think
by this time? We cannot fool away
any more time with the wind work
The other part Is up to US. All who
want stock and all who have stock i,
and more especially those who are
soliciting stock subscriptions, should
hc su!a and be on hand. Remember

BIG RED TEANI TAKES ANOTHER.
Walhalya Boys Found Nest and
Gathered Nine Goose Eggs.

In a very exciting game OF base
ball here last Friday Westminster
defeated Walhalla by score of 8
to O. The Walhalla boys were "up
In the air" during the first and sec
ond innings, allowing the visitors to
tally three runs In the first and five
In the second. After that our boys
played fine ball. Neither side was
able to reach third base for the last
seven innings. Smith pitched great
ball for the home team, and had he
had the same support for the, first
two innings that was given him in
the last seven the visitors would not
have scored more than two runs. He
struck out ten Of tho Reds" The
longest ball on either side was
knocked by Allen in the ninth in
ning-a two-bagger.
The official score Is as follows:

ANDREW JACKSON'S ANNIVER.
SARY

Day BY Giving His Views as to
the Place Of Andy's Nativity.
Suggests that the carolinas
Unite in Erecting Monuneat ea
State Line.
Mr.. Editor: Today, March the
lS.h, 1911, ono hundred and
torty-four years ago Andrew
Jackson, the seventh President
Of the Uuited States, first saw tho
Neht, on the line Of the Oarolinas
lssr Wsxhsw creek, in the
Xsxhaw settlement. There
spsms to have always been .
great controversy between tho
two Carolinas, - to which was
hs proper owner OF his birth
place. Please pardon me, and sl.
% allow me, ~ the came time, to
give my views on this all-impor.
tant and unsettled question. The
reason 1 say unsettled, 10 because
histories disagree ~ to wb ere,
for certain, he was born. All
histories agree that he was born
in the Waxhaw settlement, some
say he was born on the line be-
tween the two Carolinas and
few say he was born over the
line in North Carolina, but he
himself said he was South Car-
Gilman. But the question 10,
right here snd now, where, for
sertain, was he borna Traditions
also disagree as to his birth
place. Uncle Reece Massey,
very scholarly gentleman, who
vas reared, lived and died in the
Wa1haws, told me personally at
two different times, that he had
always been told that the cabin
in which Jackson was born stood
directly on the line between the
Oarolinas, east Of the Jack Cure
ton residence, near the old pond.
The chimney stood in the west
.nd of the cabin, and il the wea-
ther was cold st the time Of his
birth, the theory was that he
vas likely 10 asve tesn bora in
the end near the fireplace, and
il so, he was born in South Caro-
lima, and if the weather was warm
he was likely to have been born
in the rear end of the cabin,
which was in North Carolina.
l have heard many other ira
ditional theories, but one more l
wish to relate. His father not
long before his death. moved one
mile northeast of Pleasant Grove
camp ground, nine miles west
Of Monroe, in North Carolina,
and at his death he was taken
on q sled to old Waxhaw bury
ing ground, a distance of nine
teen miles in South Carolina,
for burial, and on Mrs. Jackson's
return home, she stopped at one
Mechanics, q brother-in-lsw of
hers, to spend the night, where
young Andrew was born, staying
there until she was able to travel.
She then went to the homo of an
other brother.in-lsw, one Oraw-
ford, who lived distance of three
miles near Waxhaw creek in
south Carolina, where she re-
mained for ten years and reared
her three boys.

HENRIETTA MILLING
CO. WINS BIG CASE
ALLEN DITCH COMPANY
WAS OPPONENT
Litigation was Over Taking Water
From River by Both Companies
Best Attorneys i'm state Opposed
Each Other in Case.

BY a decision handed down yester-
day by Judge Burnett of the supreme
court of the state. the Henrietta Mill
ing company of Echo. has finally won
Allen Ditch company, which fight
has extended over several years, with
some of the best attorneys in the
state opposed to each other Copies
Of the decision have not yet been re-
ceived by the local lawyers Interested
and until they do its exact nature will
not be known.
The Allen Ditch company, at the
time of the commencement of the
litigation was taking water from the
river near the mouth of Alkali can
yon about a half mile below Echo
and alleged in the complaint that it
owned a right to 1850 inches. The
ditch company first brought an in-
junction suit against the milling COM
pany, which was taking water from
the river above the intake of the ditch,
restraining the latter company from
diverting the waters.
The milling company resisted the
granting of this injunction, claiming
their right was prior to that of the
ditch company. a long lawsuit fol-
lowed in which a month was required
for the submission or testimony. FL
nally Judge Bean handed down a
compromise decision, holding that the
ditch company's right was prior but
only allowing it 500 inches instead
of 1850.
From this decision, the attorneys for
the Henrietta Mills appealed to the
supreme court alleging, not only that
such right as the ditch company
claimed was not prior but also that
the company had no legal right at
all. Whether the supreme court rul-
ed that the right of the company was
not prior or that it possesses no right
is not vet known
The title of the suit was Fred An
drews ct al vs. Frank Donnely ct al,
Andrews being president of the Allen
Ditch company and Donnely being
