Address, 4o:iy Bloud riAi.s Co.. Atlanta. Ga OF THE EARLY HISTORY OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY. ' By C. W. Wooley, Sr The county of Montgomery was formed in the year 1779 from what was then known as Anson county. It was named in honor of Gen. Richard Mont gomery, who was slain at the sitge of Quebec, Canada, in the 38lh year of his age, in December, 1775. A monu ment w.is erected to his memory, in front of St. Paul's church, on Broad way, in the city of New York, by au thority of Congress, and in 1818 hi remains were removed from Canada and deposited with the highest honors under this monument. Montgomery originally embraced the ! territory of what is now known as Stanly, and so remained as one county up to the year 1841. The first Court House built in Mont gomeryytfas at Tindalsville, on the west bank of the Pee Dee river oppo site the junction of the Uwharrie river, near what is now called Lovvder's ferry. On account of the destruction of the county records very little is known as to how long the courts were held at Tindalsville, or the names of the attor i neys who practiced there, or the names of the officers of the court, or the ex act date of the removal of the1 court house from Tindalsville, to the east side of the Pee Dee, to a place known as Makely, where the courts of Montgom- ery were held tor a time, a newspaper wife published there for a time, called the lilakely Gazette, where the Rev. llobt. Nail, D. D., hi' his youth, assist ed in printing the paper. This wa the Aulay leaped out into the river, and attempted to swim to the mill, but just before reaching the mill he wsis swept over the dam and was drowned. Dr. Wooley remained with his horse and sulky in the flat and was carried over the dam and was also drowned in view of many who stood on the banks of the river. The horse, after being submerged in the waters, swam- out unharmed. The body cf Mr. Mc Aulay was found the next 'day lodged between two saplings. The body of Dr. Wooley was found on the 8th day afterwards, at Sedberry's Mills, two miles below, where ropes had been fastened across the river to secure it in the event of its floating down the river. Search had beeuv made in vain for the body up to that time by a great many persons. Dr. Wooley 's remains were buried at his residence, now called Pekin. The Court House was then establish ed at Henderson, near the junction t)f the Uwharrie, on the east side of the Pee Dee. . Henderson was named for tlfe Hon. Archibald Henderson, an eminent lawyer of Salisbury, N. C, where it is said he practiced law. It is also said that Gen. Andrew Jackson, who then lived at Salisbury, practiced 1 ill -11' Ml" I i il law at i inaaisviiie, wnen ic was tne county seat of Montgomery. Not long after the failure of the nnavigation scheme, the county seat was again removed, and located at old L.iwrenceville, which was named in honor of Capt. James L iwrence, ihe brave naval commander of the Frigate Chesapeake, who was ch tllenged by the captain of the British Frigate Shannon, whilst in the Bjston ro.ids, for a fiht. L iwrence accepted the challenge and put to sea, aud in il naval battle with Capt. Broke, commander of th British rrigate shannon, Liwrence was mor tally wounded, and as he was carried b?lov he cried out "Don't give up the ship!" which has become a familiar provero ever since. DIVISION OF THE COUNTY. About the year 1839, there was a movement made by the citizens living west of the Pee Dee to divide the county on account of the great incon venience of witnesses and suitors at tending the Superior Court, on account of he difficulty in crossing the Pee Dee, especially in times of freshets; and the year 1841 the county was di vided bv thj Legislature making the Intelligent Readers will notice that Ms fi are not "icarranted to cure" mil clse or dieac, lt only Mien result from a disordered liver, vi Vertigo, Headache, Dyspepsia, Fevers, Costiveness, Bilious Colic, Flatulence, etc. ror hee they nre not warranted ln tble to make i-cmedy.

About this time two other towns sprang up in the southern part of the contitv: one on the west bank of the river, at Allen to:i Ferry, and named Allenton, where several stores were erected and two physicians loca ted; and a good deal of business trans acted, sis the citizens of the vicinity were well to do, some of whom were wealthy. The other was located one and three-fourths miles east of the river, at the place called Ed in bo ro, now the residence of Clt. YVatkins, Esq., where the town was laid out with streets, and several stores built, and considerable business transacted; the people having great hope and expecta tiition for the success of the navigation scheme; but for some cause the enter prise was abandoned, and the whole scheme collapsed, which was a sad dis appointment to all the citizens gener- Ti i i il i .1 rt r ally. At tnis lime rne ree uee abounded with fish, and shd was caught in great abundance in traps and seines, antLin such quantities that they sold for only five cent each; and the owners of fisheries frequently ted them to their, hogs for want of sale for them at that price. Not far from E linboro there was a terrible tragedy enacted. Two broth ers, Sias Billiugsly aud Wilson H. Dillingsiv, Had a 'lisnute about, a frivolous matters, and both be came angrv and Wilson H. liillingsly struck his brother Sias with a hickory stic : ou the side 'f his head, and killed i him instantly. The unfortunate slayer of his brother fled, to the West and never returned. Another heart remUag tragedy happened at Butler's Mills, on the Little river, now called the burnt factory, on April 21, 1825. Angus McAulay, a brother of Aulay McAulay, deed, went after Dr. Joan A.

Eben Hearne was Sheriff of the county when divided; and John Louis Chris tian was the first Sheriff of Montgom ery after the division of the county. Farqr Martin was clerk of the Supe rior Court, and his brother, John I J. Martin, was clerk of the County Court, anil James M. Lilly was Itegister of Deeds. The ctarks of the courts then held their offices by appointment, dur ing good behavior, and tire Messrs. Martin had held their offices respect ively for many years under their ap pointment. There were several emine.it attor neys who practiced at the bar at that time, viz: Hon. John Giles, of Kow an; John B. Kelly, of Moore; G. C. Mendenhall and Ralph Gorrell, of Guilford; and P. H. Winston and T. S. Ashe, of Anon; with Aleximler Troy as the Solicitor; also Col. James L. Gaines, of Montgomery. STATE CONTENTION OF 183G. In 1830 the State Constitutional Convention convened at ltileigh; Col. who was a was a friend of Alexander Troy. Wheeler History states that Troy was named for John B. Troy of Randolph, who practiced law at Mont gomery Superior Court, which is quite an error in both respects, for John B. Troy, of Randolph, never did practice law m Montgomery county. In fact I never saw him in the county, and I was clerk of the court from 1841 to 1849. The Court House and jail were built or completed in 1840 by the contrac- 1 tor, reter Mtinroe, and thec records were removed to Troy in August, 1840, where the first Superior Court was held, on the hist Monday of August of that year. The Hon. Thomas Settle, judge presiding, and Hon. Robert btrange, as solicitor, aud A. II. San ders, sheriff. The bar was considered a vervjible one at that time, consisting of Hon, J. D. Toomer, Hon.'Rolert Strange, Jonathan Worth, T. S. Ashe, G. C. Mendenhall, J. L. Gaines, A. R Kelly and others. There were two hotels kept in Troy at this time, one by Wm. Lassiter and the other by Capt. Duncan McR le. McRie's Hjtel ,was said to be the best hotel kept on the circuit. The oldest sheriff of Montgomery, now remem bered, was Henry Deberry, the father of Hon. Edmund Deberry and he was also a member of the Legislature for one or more sessions. There were other sheriffs, whose names are not now recollected, down to Abram Torest, Samuel Pemberton, John M. Allen, Eben Hearne, John L. Chris tian, A. H. S.inders, and others of more recent date. Hon. John Culpepper, .1 native of Montgomery county, represented the district containing Montgomery, in the Congress of the United States for two or more terms. He was also a member of the Baptist denomination. - -w-w -V v a Hon. tvimund uberry also repre sented the district, embracing M nt- somerv, m L-oimress tor lo years, em bracing two extra sessious, making 18 sessions he served in Congress His first term commenced in the year 1829, and he served continuously until 1830, when he was defeated by Hon Lauchlin Bethune, of Cumber land, by 23 votes; which was the only time he was ever defeated before the people. Two years afterwards they were again candidates and Bethune was defeated by 24 votes; and they were again candidates for the third time when Bethune was defeated by upwards of 000 votes. Previous to his electiou to Congress, tv served many years in the Isorth Carolina, having been elected when quite a young man, but never was elected to the House of Commons, having never been a candi date for that branch of the Legislature. A large portion of the first inhabi tants of Montgomery came from .Vir ginia and Mary land; the eastern portion of the county being mostly of Scotch Irish descent, and nearly all farmers and mechanics, who depended mainly on agricultural pursuits for their main tenance and support, and they were a ; conservative, industrious and thrifty people. I The precious metals arc fouiri wide ly spread over the soil of Montgomery, and at many places are found to be very prohtab e. The people have had their evil day of extravagant hopes and feverish ex citement upon the subject of gold mines; and now, with a vast amount of this metal stil in the soil, they in dulge in no wild'expectatious. In al most all the mountainous parts of the county this precious ore may be found in greater or lesi quanties, but the jTi-Mat mass of the people neglect its presenc while busily engage profitable pursuits. ... . a . -Ail Reaction on the BUir BiiL , The Blair bill has for some years constituted more or less of a feature in the political Jiscussioa of th'aand other Southern States since it was first in troduced in Congress. The Republi cans banked on it, and found no diffi culty in convincing their colored co partisan that if -it was adopted every one of them would be educated in a few years to fit them for college pro fessors, lawyers, doctors, &c., when there would be no more hard m inual labor, but that the last mother's son and duaghter of them, with the accomplish ments v;nicn they would then acquire could live like high-toned gentry, and be the bottom rail never more. This was about the idea the majority of them hail of it, wbout the same idea they had at the close of the war when the freedmeu schools were opened. when thousands of them of all sizes, ages, sexes ami conditions rushed for the primers and spellers' with an ap parent determination to acquire an ed ucation nght then and there. there was no trouble, we say in securing the unanimous support of these people for a measure which cost them nothing The Contagion of -Cimrcmptioa.
