COPY OF ORIGINAL SKETCH OF
OLD FORT PRINCE GEORGE.
(Written by Capt. r. E. Steele, Sept.
%, 1910

Away back in Colonial days Fort
George was built by British soldiers
(aDout thirteen or fourteen years
previous to Am arica's struggle for
,dcpcndence).
Abou; 80 yards from the east
bank OF Isundiga river (Which is
now called keowec rivcr), taking its
name from Ii, Indian village, Keo-
wee, on the west bank Of river, less
Than halt a mile from the fort.
Fort George is situated in the cx-
treme northwestern portion of Pick
ems county, S. c., about 300 miles
from Charleston, S. c., and was one
of chain of frontier forts. AS to
construction, it was built of huge
trees or logs upright in the ground
some 25 feet above the ground, COW
cred with some kind of roofing ship
ped from England. The fort occu-
pied about one-fourth acre of
ground. with magazine built of stones
of various sizes. Only one entrance,
door 5x4 feet out Of rough hewed
pine boards two inches thick put to-
gether with spikes and wrought iron
nails. | myself had the pleasure of
seeing this shutter in a partial state
of preservation some forty-five years
ago.
In the beginning Of 1850 South
Carolina was on the eve Of an Indian
war. 1t appears that number of
whites had been massacrcd in fury
of the savages. A treaty was effect
ed by Gov. Littlcton and he had in
his custody twenty-five Indian chiefs
as hostages. These captives Gov.
Littlcton placed at Fort Prince
George for safe keeping. This post
was defended by cannon G think
two small pieces and maintained by
small force, Cotymore being colo !
mel. In defiance of this force and
in this neighborhood the war was be-
gun. Fourteen whites were massa-
cred within mile of this station.
This was followed by stratagem by
which Acconostata, one of the prin-
clpal warriors, aimed to obtain pos
session of the fort. Pretending to
have something to communicate to
Col. Cotymore, Lieutenants Bell and
Foster, he lurcd them to the banks Of
the river where he had prepared an
ambush. From the opposite side of
the river the Indian addressed the
Col and while they spoke he was
seen to wave a bride above his head
which was sign to the warriors in
ambush. They fired, killing Coty-
more and wounding the licutenants.
But failed to take the fort.
Fearing the hostages within the
tort would cooperate with the as
sailing foe without, the captain in
command gave orders for them to be
put IN irons. The Indians resisted,
staDblng three of the soldiers but
were overpowered and butchered to
man. This event united the Che
s.
tages were among their chief men.
They fell without distinction upon
men, women and children.
About this time (1760) William
Bull, native Carolinian, came into
power. He sent Col. Montgomery
WIN large force, surrounding the
town of Keowce by night. Not
warrior of the Cherokees escaped.
MS success was not quite as com
plete at Eastatoe, but he burned
oheegam Town and other settlements
shared the same fate. After cap
'urlhg the town of Etchocc, sixty
miles northwest Of Fort George. he
returned to the relief of this fort,
bringing his wounded with him.

While the association teams are
composed of league winners and the
independents are made up OF teams
not affiliated with circuits. there Ii
every reason to believe series FOR tho
city title will be acceptable II the
games can be staged before the
weather gets unreasonable.
War and the Navy Yard have an en-:
gagement to play In the Section Y
series and, after a winner has been
picked, a final series Of six games VIII
be run off at Union League Park.

After the six.game series In brought
to a close. the independent interests
propose getting the winners OF The
Times Cup and the association winner
in l. best two out Of three series LOT
the District title.
Chairman Haas Is Of the opinion
that the city title championship
would not only draw well but would
be we'll worth the time spent.
There would be no question about
a championship team" says JACK
Haas. while on paper the Associa-
ton teams look stronger. you never
can tell in a baseball game.
II believe a series between the as
ISOLATION champion and the independ-
ent champion would be well worth
taking the trouble to sit through. I
know the independent winner would
give O good baseball argument.

The best any team in the independ-
ent sandlot series has been able to do
" hold the Roamers to a tie. and with
the exception of the opening game
with the International play-off. Bray
ton has pitched all the games.
A Good Reason.
The only reason he failed to start
against the Aztecs was that he had
pitched two games in a row in the two
preceding days. and. at that. he hurl-
cd the last inning against the Aztecs.
When the regular junior schedule
was completed 1t was necessary for
the Roamers to meet the Renrocs in
an extra game to decide a section
champion. Brayton pitched. The
Renrocks held his team to a tie.
Gene tried It again the next day and
won. Then came the first Aztec game.
Schroth manned the mound in place of
Rrayton and pitched winning ball. al
though the Roamers were bit shaky
without Gene in there.
Yesterday Brayton worked the Sec
cnd game with the Aztecs. Another
tie, 2 to Q, in six innings, resulted so
tomorrow Brayton likely will make q
second effort against the fast south
west team and should he be successful
the city title will be the Roamers. The
game will be played on the Rosedale
playground diamond.
Should the Aztecs win a deciding
contest will be staged Saturday on
the Union Station plaza field.
Doubleheader Tomorrow.
Tomorrow, at American League
park, the Linworths and warwicks
will meet in a game to decide the

SALTS FINE FOR
 ACHING KIDNEYS
We Eat Too Much Meat Whicl Clogs Kidneys, Then the
 Back Hurts

Most folks forget that the kid neys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need flushing occasionally, else we have back ache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheuma- tic twinges, torpid liver, acid stom- ach, sleeplessness and all sorts of bladder disorders.
 You simply must keep your kid neys active and clean and the mo- ment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good drug store here, take tablespoon 'ul in glass of water before break fast for a few days and your kid neys will then act fine. This fa- nous salts is made from the acid of Tapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. It also neutral iZes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending blad der disorders.
 Jdu odltS IS HdrHieSS, lHeXpeH- sive; makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia- water drink which ev- erybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications
 A wellknown local druggist says he sells lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.
