Established 1899 wane Fin UND TO SETTLE OH Pioneers Shucked Goats and Went at It MCDOWELL THREW WHITENER He Chose Beautiful Pleasant Gar dens in Burke, and Whitener Fell Back Upon the Fertile South Fork Written for the Democrat by Col. G. M. Yoder. It has always been said by traditionary history and by the old people that when Henry Whitener made his second visit to North Carolina to the Soutn Fork Valley, while traveling through the state of Virginia to the sum y south, he came to a place wl ere a McDowell lived, with whom he stayed overnight. The Bbme had a very bright and intelligible young son of about the age of 25 years, who was always looking forward and grasping at new ideas. He was very anxious to become an ex plorer. While Whitener and his father were talking about the sunny south, he told him where he was going to a country that he had discovered in the year 1750 to lay and locate an entry in the south fork valley, where he intended to make his future home. While he was relating these facts to the father telling him what a fine ceuntry it was and the land very fertile, the son gave a very attentive ear to what was said, and treasured up every word. It made a deep impression on his mind. So whe£ he retired he be xan to upon all these facts as related by Whitener. Then in morning said to his father that he had concluded to go with Whitener to the sunny south where thit fine country was situated, to which his father readily consented:^ So every thing #as made ready for the journey. They mounted their steeds and parted off in great glee and wege jolly as they went Crosain* Catawba river at Shernil'a Font VUtt the sun waa hiding Wa lace be hind the western came to Adam Sherrill's * house with whom they spent tUe night. He was the first whitenSkn that came over the Catawba rifer into the Cherokee Indians domain. After resting over night, thev with vigor and refreshment again pursued their journey onward in a due west course, following Henry Whitener's old trial; vhich now is the Sherrills ford to Newton road. Thev were about 25 miles from his favdfeed selec tion. - * £;, _ They arrived about *jtne tame the sun was hiding the western hills. This jouftiey waa. we suppose, in the latter part of the summer of 1750. Here they spent the nigfct. They Were soon enshrouded in darkness and wrapped up in a deep sleep. Whenever they awoke tt(ey heard the bellowing *>f the bpffaloes, the howling of the wofres and the hootings of the owls:- Next morning they heard th£ sweet musical lyric of singing bjrds. Then Whitener took McDowell on a very high hill overlooking fertile plains before them. When McDowell saw this beautiful country he was delighted with it, and exclaimed that the half had not been told. Looking west ward, they thought in their ima ginations they could see the very source of the Catawba river flow ing through the mountain coun try. They decided to make fur ther explorations up the Catawba No roads existed save perhaps a few Cherokee Indian trails. Striking the Catawba river near the Horseford, they weni up to its source examing th*. country as they moved on and or every high and elevated point they stopped and took a view Of the land scape until . th*»y were satisfied at that point. Then they would move higher up until they: would find another high point Lo, to their astonishment there lay before them one large, ex tensive and beautiful plain and they named it Pleasant Gardens which is known far and wide to day. Here they stopped ano said we have seen enough o: this beautiful country. As they were brother explorers, how t divide these two lots was th> great puzzle. The old legenc always said by traditional history that there were several propo sitions made, and at last the agreed to take an old faahitrt. Ed wrestle for choice, which wai accepted. Then they went at i eacu uiie reiying upon their mut cular strength for victory in th game. Whiten.»r was a stou and robust mat with powerfu muscles but dii not know an; THE HICKORY DEMOCRAT 4 » • ' -t - * tricks in wrestling and had to rely upon main strength to do the work, while it was said that McDowell was only a medium sized man but very active and knew all the tricks in wrestling. The tradition says that he always threw Whitener. Consequently according to agreement he had ciooe tj the lots. It is said by those old Dutch pioneers that he chose the Pleasant Gardens for his part Then they both laid entrys for the lots. Henry Whitener laid an entry for the South Fork valley; taking in both sides*of Henry Fork, while Mc- Dowell did the same thing, the year was 1750. He was one of the first settlers of that section of country, after known aa Burke County, which was formed in the year 1777 from Tryon, when the state of Nortn Carolina bordered on the Mississippi River. And about 25 years before Burke county waa formed about 22 years before the Revolutionary war opened, about 28 years be fore the battle of Kings Moun tain was fought. McDowell with his brave and gallant sol diers fought for the cause of the American independence and freedom from the tyranical yoke of great Brittain. The Colonel led hia brave Mountain company into that terrible conflict, anu helped to capture the whole Rrittish Royal Army, which was a death blow to Troy ism in the South. The McDowells were al ways considered among the first men in Burke county. The writer of this sketch is nearly 86 years old and often heard those old Dutch citizens relating the foregoing legend. We suppose they knew what they were talking about. If it contains errors we hope that it will be corrected as It has teen so long since its occurrence, it is very hard to get all the facts. He was the father and progenitor of the McDowell in Burke county, whioh was settled by Virginians and English-speaking people.

The author is said to have given us something: really new! in theatrical conceptions. He has worked out his theme with humor and imagination, with a delicacy of poetic fancy, with truth to the demands of reasonableness in character and situations, and with dramatic picturesqueness and structural effectiveness.
