Office Over Pendergraas' Store TO CHECK 4 IN 7DAYS of the original lands owned bv James McKinney, who brought his family from Little River, . S. C, jn the early 1830's to this fertile val ley, later called Cashiers Valley after a . horse owned by Pioneer McKinney and named Cash because of the large sums of money that had been offered for him, and from the fact that "Cash" roamed wild in this valley one' entire winter, since he refused to be herded with the other hor.ses in the fall ' to retur.n to Little River.; The Hamptons Of S. C. The High Hampton lands were purchased by Christopher (Kit) Hampton, brother of General Wade Hampton, for a game' preserve, and the Hampton brothers and sis ters and their friends .spent many pleasant summers at their shooting lodge at Cashiers Valley, coming on horseback from Walhalla, S, C, over a trail which later became the old Turnpike road. Among other South Carolina families who sum mered in . that section at the time were the HaskelLs, Taylors, Pres tons, Ravenels and Sloans. Dave U. Sloan, in his book "Fogy Days and How" or "The World has Changed", published in 1891, re lates many interesting and amus ing incidents as they occurred in that .section more than a half cen tury ago. Samuel Prioleau Ravenel of Charleston, father of the Misses Marguerite and Clare Rav en.el, spent many summers as a young man in Cashiers Valley, and was later a large land owner m Jackson county as well as in Ma con county. Gen Hampton Nominated Governor In a sworn statement several years ago, copies of which are on file, Andrew C. Baumgarner of Cashiers Valley, tells of having sold produce at the Hampton home in his younger days and of having known-the family well. Mr. Baum garner .said that General Wade Hampton was the guest of his brother, Kit, in the summer of 1876, when he was offered the nomination of Governor of South Carolina. Another -affidavit by James Willis Bradley, also of Cashiers Valley, tells of- having been employed at the Hampton place in 1876; when General Wade Hampton was on his usual sum mer visit to his brother, Kit, and that it was the General's custom to spend from two to three months each summer with his brother. The statement by Alliso,n McKin ney, on authority of his uncles, Nathan McKinney who will be 94 years old ths September, and Zeb ulon Vance McKinney, 81 the past June, that General Wade Hampton was with his brother Kit at Cash iers Valley in 1876 when the tel egram was sent to him by courier from West Union, S. C, offering him the nomination for governor of Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck, 57-year-old Scot who directed the Brit ish campaign at Narvik, has suc ceeded Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell in command of Middle East forces. Gen. Wavell ' was transferred to India. that state, is borne out by the above merit iAiu'd. affidavits.' - i. Mr. Hradley in his statement said lie saw the ' negr. .messenger", arrive on nuile-hack in the after noon "about two -hours by ,sun." However, General Hampton was visiting Squire Hill in.-Horse Cove on that day and ;.Mr. i'rank Hill,, son of the Squire, remembers' seeing,-the. courier deliver the -message to the Genera) and a!s re calls seeing General -Iaii.tptvi and the courier ride '.ft on mule-7-.and ; hor.sehack 'to West Union, whence the General went by train to Co lumbia to accept the noiiiination for Governor, to which office he was elected in November of that year, which put an end to the notorious carpet bag rule in that state. ' ..'-. If further proof of -(Jeneral Wade Hampton's ; residence, in Cashiers were needed it could, .be found in open letter to "The Co lumbia Register" dated August 7, 1876, Cashiers Valley, X. "C, which was published by' that paper and in the Charleston News ami C our ier and quoted by Colo,nel R. T. Jaynes of Walhalla, S, C, in his address at the dedication of the Hampton Memorial Highway at Cashiers 'Vallev on August 17, 1933. Of additional historic interest to this section are. three other names and their sources; Horse Cove, so named because horses were pas tured there before the Confederate War to graze on wild vetch and other pasturage .growing in the . cove in such abundance. Sheep Cliff and Horsepasture River were named under similar . circumstances. Pioneer McKinney, knowing that horses would not graze : where there' were sheep, put his sheep on the Cliffs, and his horses on the river bottom lands, hence the names Sheep Off and Horsepasture River, handed down through the generations and still in use today. R. D, Brendell, of Watauga, was a visitor in Franklin Monday. A subscriber to his county paper for many years, 1 he says that Mrs. Brendell would "stop eating break fast to read .The Franklin Press."
