uneomfortablcncss and inconvenience

devout worshipers from flocking thither

residents of tbe village but from the sur
rounding cotrutty also, these last in

when the heart could worship Clod

iuVhatncd of their homespun dresses,
checked aprons, sunbonncts, cotton
collars and cuffs and rou<ih hotno-uiudc

rustic escort was clad in a suit of clumsy

tho weary traveler, and the smiling face
of tho landlord, ever ready to welcome
them, were full proof of tile popularity,
and tstccui in which "tiro host" was
held. At this place tbe line of coaches
which wero then being run* between
Charleston and Columbia, "pulled up."
J>y this route, the mail bags too were
brought, whoso contents wero then car
ried to tho store of Mr. William Pooscr
which then served as a post-office, and
were there left for distribution. Not

On one of the principal streets, near
where Mr. liiggs now carries on his
carriage manufactory, thoro stood a
Tough looking little shed- knowu ns "the
market." On top ol this was placed a
boll, and inside woro found bloeks lor

Th on there was tho Orangcburg caval

rtrtptukon. On "parade days" tho gal
c'apturri rode forth all bootod and

the phtcbj who, follow^ ? by a> pack of

heels as tho cotalry paraded th?istroots.
Ah ! how boyish hearts swollcd with
ardor and .uthusiam as they, too, longed
lo bo a 'gallaut soldier."
1? tho days ol which we are writing
the laws ot South Caroliua were exceed
ingly ?evore,?oud were J generally enfor
ced to their fullest extent. The stealing
ol a slave was ?theo considered to bo
ono of the hiost criminal of offense* nnd
was punished wi?i hanging'. Aboal this
time there came to Ornngehurg a Span
iard by the name of La Crew, .Said La
Crew was of a wild, roving disposition,
and addicted to frequent drinking. Ho
formed au intimacy while hero with a no- !
gro* fannied Edtnnud,belonging to Thum
us Cross, an intimacy whieh afterwards I
cost La Crew hi* life. JIo Was charg
ed with attempting (osteal this Edmund
and sufficient proof having been found
against hi in he was tried, convicted and
sentenced to be. hung. Popular feeling
ran high in his frvor, nod it m ty be re
membered by some now living how up
to the very last La Crew protested his
innocence, and declared that the time
would soon enmc when they would lind
that he spoke truly. In corroborutiou
of this statement in after years, it is
said that Edmund upon his death bed
called his master to him and there told
him of the conspiracy that hud been
formed hgainst the unfortunate La Crew.
The fuels o! the case r.s he is supposed
to have told them are as follows :
It .soeinc?! that LnCrcW in sonic way
had incurred the auger and jealousy of.
two prominent characters of the viilngo.
ami I hey determined to rid themselves
of his presence. They hired this
Edmund to go to LaCrew and tell him
that there was n person across, the river,
who wanted to sec him on stich a night
at n ccrtaiu hour, and oiler to conduct
him thither. They then, acting out the
other part of the ph>t, informed th
authorities that they had heard that on
a certain night, naming the one, LaCrow
was {;oing with Edmund ou fouL lO
Charleston where he was to sell him
and divide the prefits. The authorities
set a watch. The night having avjVed
the utiMi.-picioue La Crew set out with
Edmund for the purpose ol having an in
terview with this person,ai he &UppjB8\l,
but in fact walking right into the very
(rap that had (ieen sot for him. They
were overtaken juit this hide of the rivet
bridge and La Crow bciug found iti the
company of Edmund was sullicic it proof
uf iiis being guilty of stealing a slave.
never mind ?uw uiuel? he protested tu
the contrary. He' was brought back,
tried tor his We,- ami eomlu-ntrjd to be
?ung, Thij i< t!io story it is said
l''dmur.-d told his mastery a-rtd it ma}' be
leinomheyed by some of th-o cdJuAe-cki
zens of Ora.igcburg Who wore* present
?it the hanging, how upon the gallows
La Crew himself duel.ir d he w.ts the
victim of a conspiracy. Hut circumst
at)tiaI e\idcucc was strong against him,
and, whether guilty or not, the mrlbrlwi
ate man was condcuiucd to ?uuSjr dcalh
by hanging.
The day of she*execution hnvidg ar
rived La Crow wub brought out of the
jail md placed in-a curt sitting upon his
colliu. All thu way to the girllcnva he
kept talking iucc.-saut ly sayiugltd wouhl
die cheerfully if only allowed his freed
um lon^ cuong to k 11 his two enemies
who had been> hii bitterest accusers,
lie b< ggi d> one of the men, who was
nerving as marshal, to give htm a gwtird,
in 1 set him (reo fur only two minutes.
'(In arriving at the spot, Mr uld field
down near the banks lif'ihe Edisto, he
was taken out and placed- upju t'tie

thing to say ho repliod :" Yes, thero are
two men standing- in- this crowd wh i
know thrt I am innocent. Though- tliey
may exult now in their hearts' over my
dowuf.ill, yet the time is coining whou a
worse fate than mine will overtake the tu.
To one of them, Mr.- 1 wish to
sny this: You sir will be o vagabond
upon thu face of the earth, shunned of
men, and detected by all who know you.
To the other: You sir will die tho dejth
of a dog, mid' the buzzards will pick
your eyes out." Turoiug to the Sheriff
be exclaimed:- "Mark my prediction
and see if it docB no* cotno true." Then
to the people he said : "1 am far from
my native land-, friendless and' among
strangers, yot I oati die as becomes a
inan." Mo then announced his roudiness,
when the Sheriff proceeded to adjust the
knot, but being sutnewlvut iuexporienccd,
was rat her slow, seeing which, La Crew
jerked it out of bis hand and knottcd.lt
.inmini his own-nook. Then with tue
words: "I'm .roady,. and hero I go !"
upon his lt?sj Ln- Crew stepped1 off tho
plunk of 'bis own-accord, and his soul
was hurried into eternity.
Uow well the prediction of Hire mur
dered man wae in after years vorificd,
sowie already know. Tho two men who
as her declared* hud conspirod against
him, one of them became a watrderor in
a distant State, and the other diod.in a
drunken N?ut.
For a long while after the hanging of
La Crow numerous wore the stories set
afloat by the superstitious affirming {-ha i,
the ghost of the Spauiurd might uf(< h
bo t-eou haunting a lonely ^spot J on the
river road near a venerable- oak that
stood in the (jjenter of tho street, near
the residence of Mr. Jacob Itickenbaker.
A number of negroes and little children
about the phuo fully b.clioTcd all this
and had sometimes declared thoy thorn?
selves had seen "the spirit." Quito an
amusing story is told in connection with
those on one of the jurymen who served
at tliut tiiuo. Old "Uucle Johnnio" as
he was more familiar cy known, was a
queer eccentric character, notouly a great
lover of his drink, but highly supersti
tious also. On sale and election d lys.
and at numerous other times, Im might
bo seen on a venerable looking gray
horse riding about the village, where ho
would i cmaiii until a late hour drinking,
too tipsy to return home. One night
'Uncle Johnnie" was taking his usual
drinks at one of tht little doggeries. A
number of persons being present the*
conversation turned upon the late hang
ing and the stories that had been set
afloat. With n sly wink at "Uncle
Johnnie" which the set understood, one
waggish young fellow W< nt to giving
awful blood cu.d ing stories of the ghost
!y visitant. "Uncle Johnnie" listened
terror stricken, t.o greatly frightened
that his knees shook together. This oak
at which the ghost was said to make its
appearance, Iny directly on his road
home, and the "lucre he thought of it
the more his courage sank, and he
kept delaying his time ofdcpnrturc.
Unobserved by him one or two of the
oung fellows stole out, and securing
tho services of a ventriloquist who was
then passing through the place, proceed
ed to this huge oak, and there made an
cfligy of La Crew. Stretching a rope
across from the treo to the fence by
means of a ring last cued around the
effigy's neck they could ut any moment
swing it out into the center of tho road .
Hiding iu the fence corner they awaited
old -'Uncle Johnnie's"' appioach It was
at quite a late hour iu the night when,
having screwed up his courage to its
highest pitch, he sullied forth lor his
home.
As he nenred the tnttch dreaded oak
suddeuly thereswuug out before his hor
rified, gaze the figure of the murdered
Spaniard. With a cry of terror, "Uncle
Johnnie" reined iu his horse, and be
gan pleading to the ghost as he suppos
ed, for mercy. But the figure, in a deep
sepulchral voice, declared that he had
come from the other world fur him, nnd
ho must now go. Then as it made a
swing towards the frightened man, as if
to clutch him, human nature coull en
dure it no longer. Turning his horse's
head "Uncle Johnnie" galloped mud'y
back to the village, one yeil after another
ringing out upon' the night air, startling
the inhabitants from their slumber. A ll
that uight he lay awake at the tavorn not
during to return Irotnu again, groaning
with terror und declaring tints tho ghost
of La Crew had come for him. Though
the juke was found out aftorwards yet to
his dyiug ?day old "Uncle Johnnie"
fully believed and firmly protested that
he hud seen the ghost of lh<- Spaniard,
and no argument or proof cuuld con
vince him to the contrary.
These, as we have told1 them, aresoiuc
ol the principal events and incidents
that marked the past of Oraugoburg
some forty years ago. \\ hat it* present

its future will be (hat 1. re ahne will
