MERCHANTS KICK.
Claim They Are Paying More Than

Resolutions protesting against the
present taxation of mercantile stocks,
and calling on the South Carolina tax
commission 10 afford some relief, were
adopted at q meeting held in Green
wood last week of merchants from
Greenwood and other towns CT the Pied
mont section. The resolutions request
cd al retail merchants throughout
South Carolina to unite in the effort
to procure relief. The merchants
claim that they are unfairly taxed on
their inventories and accounts instead

system and the laws were explain
ed by +. B. Grier, Greenwood attorney,
who had been invited to address the

YANKEE DOODLE HOUSE
Historic Dwelling in Albany is Falling
With Decay.

Father and | went down to camp
Along with Capn Goodin';
And there we saw the man and boys
AS thick as hasty puddin'.
So wrote Surgeon Dick SchuckburS
of His Majesty's Colonial Army in 1855,
composing what was intended as 4
satirical ballad aimed at the American
Yankee, but which later became our
first National anthem and was sung by
the Yankees when CORVALLIS surrend-
cred Yorktown in 1881.
The stalwart Dick sat perched on
the curb Of well in the rear of the
old Van Rensselaer, mansion, which
overlooks the Hudson river at Albany.
Round about could be seen the British
officers of the generals staff, spick and
span in the brilliant uniform of His
Maiesty's forces The old mansion,
the home Of Col. Johannes Van Rens-
selaer, had become the headquarters
of Gen. Amherst, commander of the
Kings Colonial forces In those days
the mansion was a magnificent old
place and then, as now, said to have
beer the Oldest house in America, it
having been erected in 1912. Round
about were encamped the great force
oil British regulars and Colonials,
happy and unsuspecting the final de-
feat that was to befall them several
years later at Ticonderoga, where they
were to clash with the forces of the
French under Montcalm.
AS the regulars watched the Colonial
soldiers the irrepressible Dick Schuck-
burg of His Majesty's Colonial regu-
lars, a gay blade with a keen mind,
whose bubbling wit and satirical sallies
made him a welcome addition at any
gathering took occasion to write
merry quip on the ragged, unsoldierly
appearing Colonial troops whose
frontier garb and rough and ready
ways made them the subjects of much
merriment.
Thus from the pen of the rollicksome
Dick SchuckburS was Yankee Doodle"
born, a satire on the frontier soldier
men, but borrowed, it must be con-
fessed, from an old song said to have
been based on Cronwells entry into
Oxford.
The song swept the kings army like
wildfire. Although dashed off as Dick
sat on the edge of an old well, no
doubt to the accompaniment Of the
laughter of Dicks army friends as he
recited his verses, it was filled with
the dash that made the Colonials the
best sort of fighting men and with not
little of their quaint manner of ex-
preston. And the Yankee soldiers
accepted it as their own, and later,
during the war of the Revolution, flung

the great prepondcrancc of wealth and
population in the North, with their
enormous resources and command OF
the sea. The convention was against
him, however, but he went down with
flying coiors. The candidates from
Greenville county to the convention
were all defeated.
His friends and staunch supporters
were Jas. T.. Boyce and Chief Justice
O'Neall. For the first time in thirty
years he was defeated in his own
county. Being too old for active SER
vice, he supported the Confederacy
with voice and purse. Served as q
member of the Legislature, Confederate
commissioner, district attorney and
district judge. After AppomattoX, he
was chosen by President Johnson pro-
visional governor Of this state. Under
his administration the legislature car
ried out much of the work he had sup
ported for years. Abolished the par
ish system, and the right to elect gov
ernor and presidential electors was
given to the people. The penitentiary
was established, the courts of law and
equity were combined and the state
banking system was abolished. After
the expiration Of his service as GOV
ernor, he returned TO GroenNille and
was elected United States senator, but
MED n scat His last prominent SER
vice was in 1876, when at the, aGa OF
II, he went as one of the South Caro-
lima delegates TO the st. Louis conVcn-
ton, by which Tilden and Hendricks
were nominated.
His law practice was large and !u-
crative Always dignifed and courtc-
Gus, he observed the highest standards
of professional ethics.
He married in 1887, in the city Of
Charleston, Miss Elizabeth +. Mccall,
daughter of Hext Mccall, and a niece
of Robert Y. Hayne.
He carefully kept a diary all his life
and it is much to be regretted that it
has never been published. He was not
member of any church, but attended
Christ Episcopal church in Crccnvi!le,
with his family.
The latter end of his life was spent
in secluson at his country home near
Greenville, where he had one of the
best Libraries in the state.
Cover. or Perry was one Of the finest
looking men | ever saw. According to

HAD BIBLES AND BOOZE
GreenviIIe County Preacher Arrested
as He leaves Revival Meeting.

as He Leaves Revival MeetinS.
What some members of the Green
vile police force termed q mixing of
the word of God and the spirit Of the
Devil was brought to light Sunday
night in the mountains that skirt the
upper edge OF the county, relates the
Greenville Piedmont of Thursday.
The revealing Of this odd mixture"
came about rear Cross Plains church
and was due to the accidental meet
ing of Rev. w. p. Step, a Baptist
preacher, with State Constable j. h.
Howard and another officer. Rev.
Step was en- his way home after hay
ing preached ut a service of n revival
meeting which he was conducting at
Durham's School house. The officers
were out after still" When they
met the Rev. Step in the road, how
ever, they turned aside from the quest
for the "moonshine factory" long
enough to investigate the paper hand
bag which the preacher carried. An
inspection OF the contents Of the bag
revealed two Bibles and q quart of
"moonshine" whisky in fruit jar.
Constable Howard was in Cireenville
today and told the police he would
swear out a warrant against the
preacher charging violation of the
prohibition law.
[t was said at police headquarters
tolay that Rev. Step would be given
q preliminary hearing before the
United States commissioner here to-
morrow. e.
In one Of the Bibles which the
minister carried in his paper bag
there was found at police headquarters
today a circular letter sent out by a
committee of the state organization
Of the Anti-Saloon League a. Column
bia to ministers urging them to exert
their efforts and influence toward pro-
hibition enforcement. In the same
Bible there was also found q sheet of
paper on which sermon notes had been
written.
Rev. Step is the pastor Of the Pleas
ant Grove Baptist church in the upper
section of the county and is well
known in the section in which he lives.
