who was 4 veritable legal giant in

of an older day. \ few hundred
yards from the Aoney home where

South Carolina and was afterward a

Among his sons were: Judge Andrew

senator; who ranks as a great states
man of the ante-bellum days and held
his own in debate against Webster,
Sumner, Seward, Chase, Douglas and
others; Pierce Butler, Governor OF
South Carolina, who was shot down
at the head of the Palmetto regiment
in the Mexican war; DR.. George But
Ter, who married sister of Comnlo-

senator.
Just across Big Creek from the
Butler home was the home of the
Brooks family, where was born Whit

member of congress, and as I recall
the father of Press Brooks; Maj. Zach
Brooks was the first Brooks to settle

if the character of the men who heard
it was not unimpeachsjble. They heard
something and coincided with the
bon. .5sramer,; of Fort in '61. An
other remarkable fact is that the vi
b,aticr5 of the earthquake at Charles
ton in 'S6 were distinctly felt in a
house at Laurens court house, then
occupied by my k;n2:nan, A. ". An
dcsson,, general passenger agent OF
the Charleston and Northwestern
railroad, for days after the shocks had
ceased everywhere else throughout
the Piedmont country.
The explanation is easy when we
take into consideration scme t.:irgs
we do net behold with the natural
eye. As long ago as the fort..eS the
state geological survey located a con-
siderable underground river from the
focs of the Blue Ridge mountains to
the coastal country. This stream pass
es under Laurens county near the
court house, runs under the Sallda at
a point east of Ninety-SiX, then flow
ing almost parallel with the Saluda
for some distance under a part Of
Lexington county, coming 50 near the
surface in the eastern part OF the
county at a Methodist church near
Pond Branch that it's rumblings nay
be distinctly heard at times IN the
ward of the church. From that poirt
it flows under corner of Orangeburg
county, where it breaks out in bold
Boiling Springs" at several poiF::s
in the swamps, then it defects wess-
ward and passes under parts of Aiken
county in the vicinity of the old Mar
tin home in what was formerly Edge
field district. That course if contln-
ued would have carried the river m
der the Savannah and into Georgia
if it had not been arrested by the kao-
lin formations in Aiken county. From
these kaolin deposits it turns almost
directly eastward and flows under
Barnwell county and empties into a
subterranean sea underlying Han:p-
ton, Allendale, Cc,leton, Jasper and
parts of Beaufort and Barnwell coun-
ties ard perhaps part of Orangeburg
county. The artesian basin, however,
underlying parts of Sumter, all OF
Clarendon, Williamsburg and George
town counties seems to be fed from
underground streams which have their
origin in the high sand hills OF the
Sartee, and the hills Of kershaW. This
subterranean basin makes possible
the wonderful artesian wells OF the
coastal country. 1t is, therefore, pos
sible for Gound waves, under the prln-
c;ple of speaking through tube, as
well as earthquake disturbances, to
follow the subterranean channel OF
