Dear Editor: - As I promised
the boys to give them a letter or
two more, I always like to do
what I say.
On the south side of Gills
Creek in Lancaster -county,
01 the same road of ye oiden
times from Raliegh, N. 0., to
Charleston, S. C.. (as I before
wrote) about one-half or three- i
quart^rg pf a mile the road crosses
the Chester^ and Lancaster)
road, 8fcan ^' d Creek church,
known as a aeceder church (or
iginally Presbyterian) during our
late war, Gen. Kilpatrick’s noted
road passed this road and just
b f re reaching the cross roads
cu' across and went in the direc
tion of Lancaster Court House (to
make a near cut from one road to
the other) they passed through
an old field of very red land, very
compact and as the season was
wet, the Cavalry horses will step
in each others tracks as every old
soldier knows that trained Cavai
ry horses wiil, they in stepping
left a ridge between. The land
has never been worked since and
it being level it is perfectly plain
today and some think they can
0 him and severely heat him and
would have killed him if it had
not been for an old time darlty,
who nursed him threw his arms
around him and received a part
o' the healing. Ti ey ail got mad
and Started to take the town, but
news had reached ahead and
everybody had his gun and when
they entered the square they
weie riddled with bullets, and of
; 1 the running, the like was sel
dom seen. No one ever Jgmw how
nattv V;a8 k ^' an( j woun ded.
Col. Cash was a noted duelest and
he went to the Riddle House and
went to his room and said, he was
not responsible for the fuss, but
at night he was notified th&t he
would be mobbed and he left. I
will always remember Sam Brew
er, a noted negro horse swapper,
who had come some twenty-five
miles to swap horses, he hitched
in the cedar thicket, it was full of
washes, when the firing corn
menced he ran down and jumped
on his old plug and started off
and he saw a large deep gully, he
had doubts about hia horse jump
ing it. but he told her to go and
she cleared the gully and he said
he did not stop under five miles,
He said to me in a few days,
to him a short time and said, look
here, I’ve got no rum, but d—n
you, you c m take my sugar and
he threw a sack of sugar at him
and got on his horse and rode off
trying to study Frogology.
I visited the place where I was
born, on the Lancaster road near
Fork Hill church. The new acad¬
emy is in a stones throw cf the
spot, there is hardly any sign of
the place, nothing that I can re¬
in >mber. It is the redest, waxiest
and stickiest land I ever saw, I
have often looked at my buggy
tires and seen red mud several
inches thick in a solid rim for
some distance. Mr. Sims, the
present owner, tells me that no
turtle or cooter (as they are call¬
ed) can ever travel across those
fields when they are fresh plough¬
ed and wet, that the red clay
stick or a lheres to his bottom sur¬
face and Keeps adding more and
more until his legs gets too short
and finely gets so short he cannot
travel, and unless he gets help
he wiggles until he dies. Mr.
Sims says he has found lots of
them dead in that way.
The old family grave yard,
where my father and other rela¬
tives and friends were buried is
near, but no trace or sign of any
graves now and fine cotton grow¬
ing over the supposed place. We
located it as near as we could and
will soon wire it in. It makes me
fe 1 sad “as Bill Arp would say’’
to ruminate over these things.
With kindest regards to every¬
body. Yours truly,
Capt, Albert Hail?.
