REV. ED. F. COOK TO STAY.
Hot. Osgood I*\ Cook* Pnntor of
Crnce Church. Gocn to Duvrnoit.
The fact that all of the Methodist
ministers of Savannah, whose terms
had not expired by limitation, would
come back to Savannah, made public
yesterday when the South Georgia
Conference made knbwn its assign
ments, was received with undoubted
satisfaction in Savannah. The rumor
that Rev. Ed F. Cook, pastor of Wes
ley Monumental Church, was to be
transferred, had caused much uneasi
ness among his congregation and other
friends, and it was a distinct relief to
them to find that the rumor was un
founded.
Not only will Rev. Mr. Cook return
to Wesley for another year, but Rev.
Bascom Anthony will be returned to
Trinity, and Rev, J. A. Smith to Ep
worth Church. Rev. Osgood F. Cook,
pastor of Grace Church, whose term
has expired, has been assigned to
Dawson. The Grace Church pastorate
will be filled by Rev. Charles A. Jack
son, Eden, L. E. Waters and Isle of
Hope, by Rev. H. P. Stubbs. The new
presiding elder of the Savannah dis
trict will be Rev. T. D. EIHb. He suc
ceedes Rev. John A. Thompson, whose
term has expired.
Rev. Mr. Jackson, the new pastor of
Grace, is a young minister, who for the
past two years has been in charge of
the church at Fort Gaines. He has a
wife and children. It is expected that
all of the Savannah ministers will
reach the city to-day. Rev. Osgood F.
Cook will spend a week or so here be
fore leaving for his new charge.

Once Trod the Brawny Scot in
Kills nnl Tnrfnn Now the Seat
of the Wealth of Georgia's For
ests—The Fort Known to the
World ns n I.nmber Market—Some
of the People and Industries That
Make the I.ittle Town One of the
Best Communities In Georgia.
Had Rasselas in his search for a
place where the inhabitants were con
tented and happy, visited Darien, I
think he would have stopped there for
awhile, and considered th conditions.
It is a city where a large business is
carried on so systematically and quiet
ly that its volume is known only to
the initiated. The people have the po
liteness of the old school, and if they
disagree in matters public or private,
they wash their soiled garments, as it
were, in the back yard. Darien has no
booms, and seems satisfied with its
calm, dignified and comfortable exist
ence. No community In Georgia, how
ever, not even Savannah, the patriarch
of Georgia’s cities, is more replete with
historic material than this old Scotch
settlement.
Brawny -men in kilts once marched
along the bluff of Darien to the mar
tial music of the bagpipe, and in harsh
Gaelic, told their tales of love, war and
woe. The descendants of those brave
Highlanders who settled on the banks
of the Altamaha, are to be found to
day among the beat of America’s clti
zens.
The first public road built in the col
ony was that from Savannah to Darien
to give access by land to Oglethorpe's
town of Frederica. This highway Is
what is known in Savannah as the
Ogeechee road, and began at Bull street
about where the Pulaski monument
stands. Gen. Oglethorpe, In one of his
letters, mentions that he had sent men
to run the “traverse line from Savan
nah to Fort Argyle to Darien, whence
to this place (Frederica), is only six
teen miles by water.’’
Darien, or New Inverness, as the
town was called, Darien being the
general name 'of the settlement, was
lounded by Highlanders,men Who sung
“Charley over the water,” and who
were encouraged to cross the water to
where their patriotic song could do
no harm. They fought as valiantly
against the Spaniards as they did
against the enemies of the Stuarts,
and later on they or their descend
ants fought for American freedom.
New Inverness was named from the
town in Scotland where the emigrants
were collected. These Highlanders
were picked men and commanded by
officers who were members of the
best families in the Highlands, but
whose political sympathies, like those
of their followers, had been with the
Pretender. They sailed from Scotland
in 1735, under the command of Capt.
George Dunbar, and landed in the
colony early in (January, 1736. The
country, about, New Inverness was
called "Darien” in remembrance oJ
the disastrous attempt. 38 years pre
vious, to found a Scotch settlemeni
on the Isthmus of Darien, then a
part of Spain’s territory in America.
This was one of the schemes known
as the South Sea Bubble. Millions in
money and thousands of men where
lost in such chimerical enterprises, and
the speculation of ’ the times almost
bankrupted the people of Great Brit
ain. •
Gen. Oglethorpe, in a letter written
aboard ship “in Tybee Creek,” says
"Some of the Carolina people on their
(the Highlanders) first landing near
Savannah, strove to discourage them
by saying that the Spaniards would
shoot them, as they stood upon the
ground where w'e placed them, from
the houses in the fort. ’Why, said the
Highlandmen, we will beat them out
of their font, and shall have houses
ready built to live in.’ They have
mounted a battery of four pieces of
cannon, built a guard house, a store
house, a chapel and several huts.”
From this letter it appears that Mr.
Hugh Mackay was in command of the
Highlanders at Darien.
The settlers of Darien were early
called upon to defend the colony from
the attacks of the Spaniards, and. did
their full share of fighting at Blobdy
Marsh and in the invasion of Florida.
The losses of the Highlanders in the
campaign against St. Augustine, It is
said, seriously effected the prosperity
of the settlement. They had no time
to cultivate the land. The Highland
ers liked to fight and Gen. Oglethorpe
indulged them in their liking. Doubt
less nothing was thought of this, as
in those days the English had much
the same opinion of Scotchmen that
Gen. Sheridan, only a few years since,
had of Indians, that Is, that a good
Scotchman, especially if he was a
Highlander, was a, dead Scotchman.
In closing decades of the seventeenth
and first of the eighteenth century
the Scottish plaid and tartan were
outlawed. It is different to-day; the
Highlander and his dress are honored
throughout Christendom, and a
Scotchman is as loyal, if not more so,
to the King than the Englishman him
self. He is more British than the
Briton,
Darien, however, passed through the
troubles of colonial days and became
the second city of Georgia, with a com
merce rivaling that of Suvannah, un
til the coming of the railroad. For
Borne reasons Hs merchants failed to
avail themselves of the new method
of building up cities, and other cities
advanced rapidly In business and pop
ulation. Darien was satisfied to move
slowly. It Is a fact, however, that the
little city is much larger to-day than
It was forty years ago. It has never
ceased to be the center of a large tim
ber and lumber trade, and its mer
chants are known the world over for
their honor and Integrity. The Al
tamaha brings upon Us golden bosom
the wealth of the forests of Georgia,
and Darien td-day represents more
than what Is embraced within Its eor
perate limits, rt Is headquarters for
the lumber business at Bt, Simon’s
Island, SatMla river, Doboy and other
places. Its merchants control vast
tracts of forests and many saw mills
along rivers and railroads. These In
vestments and Industries, to a great
extent, concentrate in Darien.
Among the Industries of Darien
eighty years ago, was the manufacture
of ruin from sugar cane. The “best
New England rum," and pure "Jamai
ca rum” were the products of Mcln
tosh county sugar plantations. I heard
a story while In Darien to the effect
that many years *tncc a cat-go of Da
rien rum which had by some chance
got to Wilmington, N. C., wa* seized
by the customs' officers for a violation
ol the revenue law*, the officials In
sisting that the rum Was not made in
Darien, but In Jamaica. The necessary
evidence, however, was forthcoming,
and the rum was released to make hap
py </r otherwise, the people of the old
North State.

of steamers plied between Charleston
and Savannah and the St. John’s river,
nearly all of which made a landing at
Darien. The building of lines to connect
the railroad system of Florida with
those farther North put an end to the
steamboat lines, and to some extent
deprived Darien of prompt communi
cation with other places. This, however,
was remedied a few years since by the
building of the Darien and Western
Railroad, which connects with the Sea
board Air Line at Theo, or Darien
Junction. Mr. F. H. McFarland, a son
of the late Dr. J. T. McFarland of Sa
vannah. is the general manager of the
railroad. It seems to me that if the
Darien and Western Railroad would
extend its fails into the rqiddle of the
state, crossing as the line would en
route. 1 several great railroad systems,
it would be of immense benefit to Da
rien. The city has its mills and fleets
of timber ladened vessels; its counting
rooms, and stores are managed by
trained business men and all the oth
er adjuncts to trade and traffic. It has
more of the making of a big city than
others of greater pretensions. With the
growth of the state there is no reason
why great prosperity should not some
day come to Darien.
The populating of the Immense tracts
of cleared land controlled by Darien
interests, in Itself, should build up a
city, and If a railroad could be built
to make such lands of easy access,
emigrants would be 'constant
ly coming in, and that and the general
development of agriculture, stock rais
ing, dairying, etc., by reason of such
a population, would be beneficial to
Darien.
Arriving at Theo, or Darien Junction,
by the Seaboard Air Line, I had to
wait about an hour for the train from
and for Darien. It was a cold, damp
morning, and I thankfully accepted the
invitation of Mr. J. R. Jones, who
keeps the only store there, to warm by
his stove. 1 arrived at my destina
tion in due time. There is no grander
depot than that at Darien. It is na
ture’s canopy, a grove of magnificent
live oaks, and the train runs in be
tween the trees.
I met my old friends, Capt. James
L. Foster, Capt. James Lachlison and
Capt. Joseph Hilton, as soon ns I left
the car. The last-named gentleman is
a former Savannahian and Darienite,
but now living In New York, where

ident, are located. Capt. Foster is an
ex-Oglethorpe (Company B), and was
with that command when captured at
the surrender of Fort Pulaski. After
his return from prison he received an
appointment in the Confederate navy,
and served with distinction to the close
of the contest. Since the war he was
captain of the Mclntosh Light Dra
goons. Capt. Lachlison was captain of
the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, Com
pany B. He was also a Fort Pulaski
prisoner, and afterwards participated
in the fighting around Charleston and
the campaigns in Georgia and Tennes
see. He is a son of that noble old
Roman, the late Robert Lachlison of
Savannah, whose enterprise and indus
try have a monument In the buildings
now occupied by the Savannah Brew
ing Company. They were his foundry
and machine shops. On the capture of
Savannah*the Federals stole all the
machinery and material and turned
the buildings into a hospital. This out
rage virtually ruined Mr. Lachlison,
and he removed to Darien, where he
had an interest in saw mill property,'
and died there some years since at a
ripe old age. Capt. Joe Hilton and
also Capt. Foster are nephews of the
late. Mj-. Lachlispn. Capt. Hilton was
adjutant general of Evans’ Brigade, A.
N. V„ and surrendered at Appomattox.
Speaking of those times he gave me a
vivid description of the march from
the lines at Petersburg to the clos
ing scenes. Six days of marching,
starvation and fighting; thin linos of
gray against, splid bodies of blue; a,
fight, a retreat, a stand and a fight
again, or on to the end.
These ajfitlemen kindly introduced
me to those of their fellow citizens
whom I Was not acquainted with, and
among other gentlemen I met several
old schoolmates. Of course, I called
at the Gazette office and saw my old
friend, Hon. R. W. Grubb, nn editor
who is known by every newspaper
man in the country, a faithful worker
for Darien and Georgia. There Is
only one. "Dick” Grubb, and he lives,
in Darien, and may he live long.
Darjen has a solid financial instN
tution, "The Darien Bank,” of which.
H. W. Strain. Esq., is president, and
J. A. Space, Esq., cashier, in olden
times, Daj-ien not only had banks,
but ha/1 branches of them in Savan
nah, and their bills were considered
as good as the best. In those dayH
some bank notes were subject to dis
counts of from 5 to Hi/ per cent, as sorm
as you were out of sight of the bank.
Darien's bank bills, however, were al
ways good for their face.
I was the guest of Capt Foster and
his good wife. In the afternoon he
drove me bohljtd his span of fine
horses to “The llldge” to call on mu
tual friends. “The Ridge" is a beau
tiful suburb of Darien, and three
miles distant, and is reached by a
well-built shell road, the building of
which was largely due to Capt. Fos
ter’s efforts. The residences at “The
Kldge” are large and handsome and
surrounded by extensive and wall
kept grounds. At Capt. James Lach
iison's I met his wife, whorh I had
not seen for years, and also members
of the family, among them their young
est daughter, who was married the fol
lowing Monday to the Rev. Thomas
Thomson, the pastor of the Methodist
Church, and a son of our County Tax
Collector, Mr. T. F. Thomson.
I took supper with my old friend,
Mr. Thomas Hilton and his son-in
law, Hon. Wm. Clifton and his wife,
and Capts. Foster and Hilton. Mr,
Tom Hilton is In his 76th year, but ho

He is not a descendant of the High
landers of New Inverness, but might
be a connection for he is a Lancashire
man, and that comes very near to be
ing a Scotchman, and ho would be a
worthy representative of any High
land clan. He says “bye” for boy, and
all men who are younger than he are
“byes,” and as I came under the rule,
I was “a boy again.”
Mclntosh was luid off from Liberty
county in 1793. It was In colonial days
St. Andrews Parish, and its history is
part of old Liberty. It was named In
honor of the Mclntosh family, which
gave to Georgia many distinguished
soldiers, and some of the first settlers

ing to the census of 1900 is 6,637, a
small increase over the previous cen
sus. Darien, Crescent, and Barrington

There are enrolled in the schools 251
white, and 1,205 colored pupils, who are
taught by nine white and sixteen col
ored teachers.

A number of Savunnahians were

Alfred Stern, Mr. James Freeman, Mr.
George Ford and Mr. Herman Rosen

Atlanta or the Birmingham sleeper,
which did not leave the track, though
the Atlanta sleeper was partially burn

cago. His father, Mr. J. M. Barnard,
received a telegram to the effect that
he had escaped unhurt and had con
tinued his Journey.
Mr. Saussy, who is superintendent of
the Tybee division of the Central, did
effectual work at the scene of the
wreck. He assumed charge immediate
ly after its occurrence, and directed the
efforts of the train crew and passen
gers who assisted In putting out the
fire that resulted. Upon the arrival of
Superintendent B. C. Epperson of the
Macon division, Mr. Saussy relinquish
ed the direction the work.

man was only slightly hurt, his inju
ries consisting chiefly of bruises on
one shoulder and one or two scalp
wounds. He Is In the hospital in Ma
con, but is expected to be able to leave
It within a few days. This will be in
formation to his many friends In Sa
vannah who were deeply concerned at
the rumor that he had been seriously
