Old Boundary of Rowan. 1 " i Mr. Editor: Vour contribufor, "J. i? whosi; articles on the early history of Kuwait County are so interesting and show such careful research, speaks some what cotijecturally, aud without claiming exactness, as to the "point" of beginning and the precise location of the original eastern boundary of Rowan. His conject ure that it started "sotnetcherf Hear" the southeastern corner of Randolph 'and theiMMj ran north along the present east ern lines of Randolph, Guilford and Rock inghaur, is not rery far out of thej way. But for the sake of perfect accuracy, he will no doubt pardon me for venfuriug the remark that the "somewhat indeterm inate" eastern line of Anson seems to have been ascertained and run out about the time when Cumberland and Rowan were set off as counties, so fair as was needful to fix the resjective lines of division : and on the map of North Carolina, this Hue can uow be seen, being the dividing line between Mocre and Montgomery. The point, therefore, where these two last counties corner together on the south line of Randolph, would seem to be the pre cise ")oint" where the eastern line of An son cut Lord Granville's line; from which the Rowan line ran due north, taking in about two-thirds of what is now Randolph, Guilford and Rockingham. W. M. R. Jan. 30, IS60. Taylorsville Letter, j; January 30th, 1880. Mr. Editor: A large crowd was present to-day to witness the execution of Joe Gillespie, colored, convicted at the fall ternfbf our Superior Court as an accom plice in the murder of Mr. Fowler, at Mooresville. The prisoner had been remanded after his conviction to Statesville jail, where he remained until Thursday, when he was brought up by the proper officers, from Iredell, and delivered to Sherjff Mays, charged with tlie execution of the senteuce of the Court. He was visited in the jail, and t his request accompanied!! to the gallows, by Rev. W. A. Pool and Rev. A. Carson, who conducted short but impress ive services at the gallows. The prisoner maide a short talk, in which he acknowl edged his guilt as accessory and full knowledge of it, but denied taking any active part in the killing, but heard the blow that was struck. He said sin had brought him to his sad cud ; advised all to shun bad company and let liquor alone, as that was what had been his undoing had tried to repent of his sins aud, hoped he had been forgiven. After his short talk he knelt on the platform aud engaged a few minutes in audible prayer asked the people present ! from Mooresville to forgive him. At a few minutes after 12 o'clock tlie drop fell, and although he hung nearly half an Jionr, it was thought he was dead in nine minutes after he was swung off. He was buried by the side of Bob McCorkle by the sheriff and his as sistants. I ! Every thing connected with this, only proves more and' more the necessity of private executions always pnblic execu tions are in a high degree demoralizing. A more noisy, turbulent crowd is seldom seen ou our streets than this evening af ter witnessing a scene which ought; to im press the truth that "The way of the transgressor is hard." (j They are talking now of a new Bank rupt Law. Now don't please, j That last one was fearful and the country has Kiot oegun to recover yet from the attack. It is still shivering from head to; foot. So hold oa for a decade or so and ; let the country recuperate. Wil, Star. ROWAN COUNTY. . - ! r:TIIU FIRST COURT." As stated on a former page, it is not cer tainly known where the first court was held. But from the Records in the office of the So pcrior Court Clerk in Salisbury r it appears probable that it was held in June, 1753, only a few months after the county was establish ed. The names of the justices who presided at the courts the first year, were Walter Carrot h, Thomas LoveUtty, James Carter, John Brandon, Alexander Cathcy, Squire Boone, Thomas Cook, Thomas Potts,! Geo. Smith, Andrew Allison, John Hanby, Alex ander Osborne. James Tate, and John Bre vard. We know, or Jiave some reasons for conjecturing, the neighborhoods from which several of these magistrates came, Walter Carruth owned lands, and probably resided, on the east side of Coddle Creek, adjoining the McKnights, in the Prospect neighbor hood. James Carter owed the lands in the southeast quarter of Salisbury, on both sides of Water street, and on towards Crane creek, now called Town creek, and probably lived in the present corporate limits of Salisbury. John Brandon lived six miles south of Sal isbury, near the Concord Road, on the plan tation now owned by Charles H. McKenzie, Esq. Alexander Cathey lived on Cathey's Creek, near Thyatira Church, and was the ancestor of the late Alexander Long, M. D. of Salisbury. Squire Boone lived on the Yadkin, at Alleman's or Boone's ford, and was the father of the great hunter and pio neer, Daniel Bo-ne, 0f Kentucky. At this place young Daniel spent the days of his boyhood, and no doubt often hunted over the hills and through the thickets of the Yadkin. Thomas Potts probably lived in the Jersey settlement, where Potts' Creek running into the Yadkin River just below the site of the Indian Town of Sapona, per petuates his name. George Smith was prob ably from the same neighborhood, where a prominent family of that name still resides. Andrew Allison owned large tracts of land on Fourth Creek, a few miles from States- ville, where a large and influential family of that aame may still be found. Alexander Osborne lived on the head waters of Rocky River, about two miles north of Davidson College. He was a leading man in the coun ty, a colonel, the father of Adlai Osborne, and the ancestor of the late eloquent and popular Judge James W. Osborne, of Meck lenburg. John Brevard was probably from the same neighborhood, a little farther west, and not far from Beattie's Ford, on the Catawba. At least this was the neigh borhood of the Brevards, one of whom, Dr. Ephraim Brevard, is reputed to be the com poser of the celebrated Mecklenburg Decla ration of Independence. Of Lovelatty, Cook, Hanby and Tate, the writer has no knowl edge, though doubtless some of their de scendants may be still residing among us. There is a ford ou the Catawba, and a Post Office in Caldwell county called "Lovelady." perhaps a remembrance of Justice Love latty, of the Rowan county court. A good part of the time of the first court was taken up in registering the marks and brands which the citizens had invented to distinguish their cattle, and other live stock; and the changes are rung on "crops," 4,half crops," "slits" and "swallow-forks," in the off" and near-' ear, and other quaint de i ;es for marking. The cattle that were to be identified by the marks and brands 'reg istered in the Rowan Court, ranged over the meadows and prairies of the Yadkin, the Catawba, the Deep, the Saxapahaw, and the Dan rivers. Constables were also ap pointed whose beats lay as much as a hund red miles from the seat of justice. These old '"Records" of the Rowan Court of Plea9 and Quarter Sessions, for 1753 '4 5 "6 arc full of interest to any one who will take the trouble to decipher them. For instance, here is a list of constables and their beats for 1753. Preston Goforth for the "South Fork of the Catawba. (This was for the re gion from Hickory to Lincoln). John Mc Guire, south sid of the Yadkin; John At taway (?) for Dan River. John Robinson for south side of Yadkin, from the mouth of Grant's Creek to the ford of the same ; thence acros to the Trading Path; thence along said Path, as far asColdwater, thence with his Lordship's Line." This shows that the Trading Path ran to the point where Col dwaUr Creek runs from Rowan into Ca barrus. "John Nesbit had his beat from James Cathey's Creek to the western Path, as far as the fork of said Path. James Howard from James Cathey's Creek to Third Creek, and as far as the Division Ridge between the two settlements. Benja min Winslow, aaiar as the Catawba River, and along the King's Line, and Lamb's mill, and down as far as Wm. McKnights. John DoUer on Abbott's Creek, as far as the West ern Path. David Stewart on the north side of Yadkin, from Muddy Creok and upward. William Fisher for the district included in the Forks of Yadkin. James Watkins from the Orange line as. far as Beaver Island Creek, on Dan River. James Hampton from Beaver Island Creek and upwards" (i. e. higher up the Dan). These names of men and localities show the extent of the juris diction of the Rowan Court, stretching from the Orange line and Dan River, to the King's line, and as far west as the south fork of the Catawba, northwest ot Lmcolnton. The fol lowing were the officers of the count v, viz Richard Ililliar, Deputy Attorney Gener al ; John Dunn, Court Clerk ; James Carter, Esq., County Register; John Whitsett; County Treasurer; Francis Corbin, Esq., Colonel of Rowan Regiment of Foot ; Scot ton Davis, Captain in Corbin's Regiment. The following persons are named as com posing the Grand and Pettit Juries of the first Court, viz: Henry Hughey, John Mc Culloch, James Hill, John Burnett, Samuel Bryant, John McDowell, James La ni bath, Henry Dowland, Morgan Bryan, William Shcrrill, William Morrison, W'illiam Linvil. Samuel Baker, asked this Court (1753) to declare his mill on Davidson's Creek (near Centre Church) a public mill, and his re quest was granted. Jno. Baker proved before this Court that his ear had been litten off in an affray, (not cropped off for larceny), and obtained a Court certificate to that effect. In those days inn-keepers wers not allow ed to charge at their own discretion, for the drinks and other entertainments which they furnished to their patrons, but the court took the matter in hand and made a sched ule of prices. In 1755, after fixing the pri ces for wine, whiskey, beer, etc. etc., tbey decided that th keeprs of ordinaris. Inns or Taverns, should charge as follows. Por dinner of roast or boiled flesh 1 shilling. 44 Supper and Breakfast each, 6 pence. . Lodging over night, good bed 2 44 u Stablage (24 hours) with good hay or fodder, , 8 " Pasturage, 1st 24 hours' 4 ' pence every 24 hours after, 2 " Indian corn or other grain, , Der onart. i 2 u This was to be paid hr Proclamation money, which was about on par with Confederate the 2d or 3d year of the late war. Salisbury was well supplied with licensed ordinaries, or inns, in those days. The li censed houses were as follows: In 1755 John Ryles's Ordinary was licensed. In 1756, John Lewis Beard, Peter Arrand, Ja cob Franck, Archibald Craige, James Bow er, and Thomas Bash ford and Robert Gilles pie received licenses. Jacob Franck occu pied the lot where the late Dr. Alexander Long resided, and Bashford and Gillespie occupied the corner next to the present i Court House, L . corner" of Corbin ; and upuncu streets. Kooert uillespie was the fifet husband of the celebrated Mrs. Eliza beth Steele, ofalitbury, and the father of the wife of the. Rev. Samuel E. McCorkle, Dj D. A few year after this, Paul Barrings erlEsq. of Mecklenburg (Cabarrus) bought the lot on tht east corner of Corbin and la nes streets, 99 feet down Corbin and 198 ft. down Innes, from a man who is described as an "Ordinary, keeper." rom.this it 1 ap-: pears probable that the corneajaow occupi ed, by Klutz's Drug Store was oceopied.ai an Ordinary at an early day, as we know that it was at a later day, when -William Temple Coles kept an inn there, where John Dunn Esq., died in the winter of 1782-3.' ! We may remark in; passing that John Dunn and William Monat were . appointed attorneys by Gov, Dobbs, and presented their Commissions to the Rowan Court in 1755. Of William Mohat little or nothing appears in the Records of Rowan County ; but for thirty years, John Dunn occupied a prominent place in the public affairs of Rowan County, both before and after the war of the Revolution.; He deserved well of; his country, and his name is embalmed injthe hearts of a large circle of honored descendants, and his memory is perpetuated in the name of Dunn's Mountain, in sight ofthe Public Square of Salisbury, at the foot of which his remains lie interred. This name will often recur in the course of these sketches. j; At the June terra of 1753. the ceeded to select a place for the erection of a court-house, pillory, stocks and gaol. The action of the Court is substantially, as fol lows: "The Court House, gaol and stocks shall be located where the "Irish settlement'? forks, one fork leading to John Brandon's Esq., and the other fork along the old wag on! road over Grant's Creek, called SilFs path, and near the most convenient spring." John Brandon, as stated before, lived six miles south of Salisbury, n the Concord Road, and "Sill's Path" was probably the Beattie's Ford road, crossing Sill's Creek, about seventeen miles west of Salisburv. Thjmost "convenient spring" is thought to be spring in the garden of the late Dr. Alexander Long, where Jacob Franck's Or dinary and still house were afterwards es tablished, the lot afterwards owned by Matthew Troy, the father-in-law, of the late Max-el I Chambers. The exact site of the Court house was the centre of our present public square, at the intersection of Corbin and Innes streets, where the great Town well now is. Tradition says that this spot orig inally considerably higher than it now is was a famous "deerstand," where the rifle man stood, and with unerring aim brought down the fleet-footed doe or antlered stag, as he fled before the music-making pack of hounds. The Court directed that the Court House should be of frame-work, weather-boarded, thirty feet long and twenty feet wide, a story and a half high, with two floors, the lower one raised two feet above the ground. It was to be provided with an oval Bar, and a Bench raised three feet above the floor, with a table and seat for the Clerk, and "cases" for the attorneys. There M as to be a good window behind the Bench, with glas in it, aud a window near the middle of each side, and a door in the end opposite the Bench. This simple structure of woo with one door and three windows, appears to Us, after the lapse of a century and a quarter, to have beeu an insignificant affair. But doubtless it compared favorably with the finest structures to be found in the wil derness, only about ten years after the first settlers arrived, and it accorded well with the temper and the habits of those earnest and honest justices- who sat upon the "Bench," and amigned evil-doers at their bar. No complicated snits, involving nice points of law, often came before them for adjudication, but rather affrays, trespass ani larcenies, with now and then a homi cide, would make up the docket. Suits would not be apt to linger long. They did not erect a very large or very strong jail, for the culprit was apt to find himself speed idly in the pillory, stocks or whippingpost. I presume thst few offenders escaped upon legal technicalities, or on the plea of iusanity, fojQthe administrators of the law were more likely to consult the dictates of primitive justice, than the niceties of any written code or precedent. Flafffftown Letter. Fkb'ky 2d, 1830. Editor Watchman: While rumagiug about in an old dilapi dated buildiug in this town a few days since, I inadvertently laid my hand upon a half bound volume which showed un mistakable signs of old age. I hastily, from impulse, oiened the book and im mediately discovered that it was a histo ry of our present town, written years, years gone by. Of course, I chuckled to think that 1 had so fortunately become tlta'possessor of such a valuable book, and perused its contents with unadulterated satisfaction. From this book 1 nm ena bled to give you any information in rela tion to the early history of our town. It appears that many, many years ago, away back as far as the year 1879, there came to this section of Montgomery coun ty a company of men whose intent and Imrjwse was that of searching for gold. u($he neighborhood of eleven men com posed the company, and its superintend ent' was a California miner, who might, with propriety, be called a "forty-niner." Now, this company commenced in earnest their operations aud soon gave employ ment to nearly tlie entire neighborhood. The place commenced to grow rapidly, and as natural, the inhabitants thought seriously of a name for the town. Divers names' were suggested, such as "Scrabble Hill," Pinky town," "Horse ville," Luck lurjjl," "Whotisic," "Damflno;"and others "too numerous to mentiou." But at last, after duo deliberation, it was decided to name the place "Flaggtown," in honor of Mr. John H. Flagg, the President of the company, who now resides in Washing ton city. It is at this particular time of the year that the yonng lady of the household ar ranges to have her "quilting party" in viting young lasses to help ont the work, and young gents to make the evenings lively. They enjoy themselves hugely ovT"snap 'em up," "drop the handker chief," "poat-oflice," "pillow" and "sail ingrn the boat when the tide runs high." These parties are "all the go" now, apd afford the yonng people opportunities or happy social intercourse.; The young men are protesting against the fashion of ladies kissing among themselves. One has got off the following, which ; the girls dpu't like very well : f "Men scorn to kiss among themselves, And scarce wonld kiss a brother ; Hnt women want to kiss so bad, They gladly kiss each other." Some of our farmers are starting their plows, while others are busy engaged in clearing their land preparatory for the spring work. j Tlie weather still continues to be mild and agreeable, and auch a winter, thus far has not been known in many long - r mm . years. ibotjuakx.

It seems thai the pareuts of an expectant bride objected to her marrying the man of her choice, and remembering the old saying, fOut of sight out of mind," they thought the lovers would forget each other if separated. So the stern parents of the young lady sent her in exile to the resi dence of a relative living in the adjoining county of Moore, but quite near the Chatham line. But the love of this un fortunate couple burned with too fierce a flame to be so easily extinguished, and the gallant hero of our tale, bv diligent inquiry, soon ascertained the wereabouts of his lady-love, and by means of an un derground telegraph they were speedily in communication with each other. The relative, to whose house our heroine had been banished, soon sympathized with the lovers in their troubles, and a mar riage was at once agreed upon. Our hero had, sometime before the banishment of his captive dulciua, procured a marriage license in this couuty, which of course could not be used in Moore, and so to avoid any loss of time and the expense of getting a license in the latter county, they determined to be married in Chat ham. The boundary line between the counties was only about three hundred yards distant, the nearest point being the public highway, Quito a number of the neighbors were hurriedly summoned, and forming a procession, they marched to the big road, where a Chatham Magis trate met them, and so ont there in the public highway with tlie attendants drawn np in due order was the marriage duly and decorously solemnized. The old neighborhood tiddler was present, and most excitedly scraped out the wedding music, which so animated the bridal par ty that quite a lively dance took place, with the road bed for a floor and the blue heavens for a shed. It must have beeu a novel and amusing scene, and will doubtless be long remembered by those who saw it. Chatham Record. MARRIED. In Franklin township, Jan. 22d, 1880, by Wm. M.
