Yours for l&MsIisesfc Camilla Communicated. Kershaw, S. 0 , Aug. 22,1904. Camilla Enterprise, Camilla, Ga. ■ Since my last letter I have travelled further in the country. I find the cotton on red lands very good, on grey and sandy lands not| so good. The rain set In here in June and scalded the cotton and from my observations both at home, on the road and bere the cotton crops are badly over estimated. Corn is fine where it is properly worked. 1 am now in the Historic part of ^Lancaster county. I am near the Monument called the Buford .Monument which marks the spot where eighty-four brave Virgin¬ ians, daring the Revolutionary Awar^ere ambushed and murder¬ ed by the bloody Tarleton. The Virginians were commanded by Co 1 . Buford of the Continental army. This spot is ten miles east of Lancaster C. H. On the old Reeky River Road. .About four miles west of this sspot is the old traditional place .known as the Billy Grimes place. An old Irishman settled this place •when ths whole country was in *,he woods. It is on the banks of the beautiful Gills creek. This settlement was made over one hundred and twenty-five years ago and the public road ran close to the door and was used during the old war by troops of both aidts. The old original house is standing just the same and my informant thinks the same old roof is yet on. It has always t>een owned by the Grimes des¬ cendants and three of the same family are living there now and the youngest over sixty-five years old. Tradition says Gen¬ eral George Washington, in pass¬ ing front Raleigh, N. C. towards Charleston, S C., stopped in front of the door, under two large old walnut trees and ate a supper of milk and mush. The old trees are sheltering me now and they look to be old enough for Adam and Eve to have taken supper i nder. Abaut seventeen miles North¬ west of these old trees is the spot where old General (Hickory) Andrew Jackson first saw the lightin the noted Waxhaw coun¬ try near the Waxhaw church (presbyterians) and Jackson’s father was buried in this old church yard. Tradition also says that when General Jackson’s father’s body was being carried to the enurch yard to b'buried the parties who had it in charge passed an old time groggery and all took on a little too much 0. B. Joyful and was carrying him in an old pair of trucks (wagons not known then) and on the way lost the body of the old gentleman and when they arrived they had to return and find the body and then bring it. Now tradition dees not say whether this was stump liquor or not. This country is also the birth place of the noted Dr. J". Mariot Sims, who once had the honor of treating the Queen of England. As this is getting rather lengthy I will finish in my next. I am getting home sick and wish to see our native wire grass and pines. With kind wishes to all, Albert Haile. Sick Headache. “For several years my wife was troub¬ led with of what physicians “’character. galled sick heartache a very severe She doctored with several emmiuent physicians and at a great expense, only to grow worse until she was unable to do any kind of work.
