HANGED TWO HEX Shortly after Cuningham attacked Colonel Hays and a band of Whigs at Hays Station, setting fire to the house, he forced them to surrender and immediately hanged Hay and another man, Daniel Williams, on the pole of a fodder stack. Before ihey were dead, the pole broke, and Cuningham drawing his sword slew the half-strangled men with hi own hand.

Cuningham then ordered his men to murder whom they pleased. A lad of fifteen who was In the party came up to his dying brother crying and wringing his hands asked, "What will I tell Mama?" Cunlngham Immediately drew his sword saying, 'Tou will tell her nothing you little brat," and slew the lad In his track. "Broody Bill" famou horse Ring-tail, several time saved his life when escape seemed Impossible. When riding at night, he would tie his horse bridle around his wrist and sleep In the saddle. When danger was "ear the horse would wake him by Jerking on the bridle.

It was on the bank of the faiuda that three hundred men, led by a son of Captain Butler, put "Bloody Bill" and his gang to flight, as "Bloody Bill" was escaping, young But-fer pursued him on his famous horse, Ranter. As Butler neared "Bloody Bill" he shouted, "Now I've got you, you beast." At this Instant Butler's horse stepped in a hole and tumbled. "Bloody Bill" escaped and left this country. The balance of his gang was scattered to the four winds. The horrible deeds of "Bloody Bill" will never be forgotten and he will always be remembered as the most cruel man that ever trod the soil of South CLINTON, Aug.

I Near Hay Mountain, three miles from the Newberry county" line, In Laurens county stands the famous Hay Station monument, erected In memory of Colonel Joseph Hay and Captain Daniel William and other victim of "Bloody Bill" Cunningham. The monument bear the following inscription: "To the memory of Colonel Joseph Hays, Captain Daniel Williams, Lleutentant Christopher Hardy, Lieutenant John Neal. Clement Hancock, Joseph Williams, Joseph Irby, Joseph Irby, John Milven, James Feria, John Cook, Oreaf Irby, Benjamin Goodman, Taney Saxon.

The present monument waa erected in 1910, replacing the original monument which was destroyed by lightning forty years ago. The remains of the old monument are to be found and.when pieced together give a descrlp-. tion of Hays Station Massacre In detail.

The original iron fence surrounds the new monument. WAS TRUE SPORT In McCardy's History of South Carolina in 1780-1783, William Cunlngham is described as being of a lively, Jovial disposition, open-hearted and generous, priding himself upon- keeping his word, but of a quick and fiery He was a remarkable horseman, with a passion for fine horses, fine weapons, and fine clothing. These qualities rendered him a favorite with the young men of, his neighborhood. At the age ot nineteen he was applied to by John Caldwell, to assist In raising a company. When ordered to the lower part of the state Cunlngham Insisted that he enlisted under the condition that he was not to leave the "Ninety Six district.

However, Cuningham wag forced to throw ia irons, and court-martial on a charge of mutiny. He was not only acquitted by the court but freed from his engagement on the ground of the condition of agreement. Caldwell thus became an object of hatred to a set of men to whom the distracted state of the country afterwards afforded ampie opportunity of satisfying their resentments and avenging their wrongs. In while visiting in Savannah Cuningham's brother, John, an epileptic, was murdered. Cuningham hearing of this and unable to secure a mount set out on foot, accompanied by oiie servant, walked all the way from Savannah to Ninety Six.

He immediately sought Captain William Ritchie, of the Whigs' side and shot him as he was climbing a fence in his yard. From this time a bitter neigh-hood strife arose. Shortly after Cuningham saw fit to change his political views and Joined the Tories.

Captain Noah Mighlll veteran fisherman of Dark Harbor, waa a dyed-ln-the-Maine-woods Republican before meeting John W. Davis, Democratic presidential candidate. Today the captain is a dyed-ln-the-Maine-woods Davis Democrat. On all Straw Hats.

McLeod of South Carolina, Friday told' student and alumni ot Sum- merland and Newberry College, in reunion here, that the hope ot the 1 nation lie In preserving this and other right under the constitution. "We ought to take stock of our citiienshlp, and consider lis cost. and it the governor de- olared. "The founding of the American colonies was not for tlnan-eta! gain, but for religious liberty." During the past four years ap- i propriations In South Carolina for educational purposes have increased 100 per cent, he asserted. Inceas-Ing numbers of young men and wo- men "knock at the doors of our col-.

leges," and "we must care for i them." he said. i Other speakers were Professor R. A. Goodman, of Newberry college, i and Prof, a M. Wilson, also of Newberry.

Captain Nosh says if he can take Mr. Davis ftshin' he'll tell tiie world whether or not he' going to win the coming election. "You can't fool the fish." said Noah; 'they're non-partisan." Noah assured me he was a surefire character detective. "I can tell a New Yorker by the place he carries his money. Now Mr.

Davis aint a New Yorker he's got a sense ot humor. I got a hutch he's runnln' for 'election 'cause it's good fun. Of course, he wsnts to win. but if he don't ho won't get goo.e flesh. "I was surprised to learn Mr.

Noah is going to vote Democratic, but believe it will take a lucky break or a smartly directed camnalgn to put Davis over. "Even if Mr. Davis is a yes" you specify and you et it when you want it. Consequently our customers are never delayed in their cor to shake hands with the nominei when he arrived from New York for a vacation at Seven Hundred Acre Island. One of Noah's ancestors, Shubael Williams, first settled on Islesboro In 1764.

"Me and Mr. Davla are much alike," aald Captain Noah today. "We both emoke a pipe." Th captain atopped counting hi year after he passed seventy-nine. He makes hi living by fishing in the vicinity of Penobscot Bay end bemoan the fact that the coming of the summer colony ha turned the ancient profesolon into rum running. Captain Noah say the only way to make the country dry I to drain off the ocean.

Noah doesn't run rum up the coast or down Ms throat. He declare liquor spoils hi taste for chewing tobacco. Captain Noah admit he knows a heap about politics. He haa never left Knox county In hi life. has been able retain his political perspective.

"The only thing Jm af eared of," said the captain. "Is I'll get elected a United States senator. Then Td lose my, reputation, aurer'n sea gull hnve wings."
