The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1915-06-30

My grandfather was named Lewis
George, Ludwid'' in the fatherland.
He came across the waters from
Germany to this country about the
time of the Revolutionary War. He
fought in the battles of Cowpens,
Kings Mountain and Eutaw Springs.
He was a great friend and admirer
of Gen. Francis Marion. l have been
to the battle grounds at Kings
Mountain and have seen General
Fergerson's grave, the place where
he was put away. I have seen the
two large monuments there and the
small stone at Ferguson's Grave.
This was great battle and I am
proud that my grandfather helped
to strike the winning blow for our
Independence there.
After the war was over my garnd-
father settled in the old Dutch Fork
of Lexington County. He married
Joe Arehart's daughter and for a
while lived at her home near Brook
land, 50 far as can learn. BY this
marriage was born one daughter
named Kate. When Kate grew to
womanhood she married Adam Ris-
ter. Adam and Kate had several
children but one of them was Nancy
and she married my father, Andrew
George, her first cousin.
After my grandfather's first wife
died, he married the second time,
Becky Stuck. After this marriage
he acquired a large tract of land,
now known as the Henry Cumaland-
er land near Chapin, S. c. My old
home place was part of this tract.
My grandfather and others of his
descendants are buried on this old
Henry Cumulander land, on the side
of the road from Chaplin to Latta-
koo. Some of the old graves are
still plainly marked.
My grandfather, Lewis George,
had six children by his second wife;
Sam, Lewis, Harriet, Margaret, An
drew and Joel. From Sam George,
who was born Dec. 4, 1904, and
who married Susannah Kleckley on
July 16, 1885, has sprung the George
families around Lexington Court
house: E, J. Grby), Dedrick L., S.
Preston, Louisa M. and Harriet H.
Louisa married Bolivar |. Hayes
and Harriet married Capt. P. H.
Caughman. Most of these are still
living. AS | said, my father An
drew George, married his first cou-
sin, Nancy Rister. From this union
were ten children, namely: James,
Nelson, Gilvie. Adam, Preston, Polly,
jim, Jack, Joe and Mary.
When | was 23 years old war
broke out and I joined Capt. Moi
fett's Company, Co. c., 3rd S. c..
Regiment, under Col. Williams, and
we marched under Kershaw's Brig
ade and Longstreet's Division. We
fought the second battle at Manas-
sas Junction and Bull Run. We
whipped old Gen. Scott and ran him
into Washington. We fought the
Seven Days Battle at Seven Pines.
We fought the battle at Malvern
Hill, Fredericksburg, Savage Sta
tion and Culpeprer Courthouse.
From here we went to Gettysburg.

Burglars Attempt
Robbing Nero. Co.
Leave Their Tools and Flee When
Waterman Ask What They Want
No Trace OF Their Identity.

Burglars attempted to break into
the Pleasant Grove Mercantile Store
again early Thursday morning. That
they were unsuccessful was due to
the fact that night Waterman was
on duty and frightened them away
before they had gained admittance.
Since the burglary several weeks
ago. MILFORD Monson. who attends
High School. has been sleeping in the
store at nights. About two o'clock
Thursday morning he was awakened
by noise at the rear door. Being
suddenly awakened, he allied out

glars dropped their tools and fed,

his beat, came around about fifteen
minutes later, but had not seen any
one and a hurried search failed to
reveal the presence Of anyone around.
Two hours later. the sheriff was tele-
phoned for and came over from Provo.
Mr.. Hayes was also called at the same
time. Up-to-date there is no clue as
to the indemnity Of the burglar or bur
glars. Of whom the tracks indicate
there were two.
The tools left at the door as the
robbers fed, were a big iron bar, or
spike puller weighing about forty lbs,
pick without the handle and big
monkey wrench. Later It was dis
covered that these weapons had been
stolen from the San Pedro section
house, entrance being gained by pull

Our National Curse

Ours is the overworked credit sys-

penditures Of life, and especially to

to whether he would rather sell for
cash at a considerable discount In

We believe the vote would be unani-

The credit system Is a nuisance.

Wherever the credit system pre-
