We had the story of the massacre last week. THIS account is taken verbatim from Caruthers' old chronicle published in 1832, and was compiled from the statement of par ticipants in the scenes or of old men who were about here at the time. We have considered it advisable to print the story verbatim, for the sake of preserving the value of the record. It might readily be rewritten and made clearer to a modern audience not familiar with the names and places, or the previous events, but in so doing much of the interest in having an authentic and original record would be lost. The principal places mentioned are indicated upon the historical map of the Sandhills printed in the first number of THE OUT LOOK this year, and are being marked with concrete monu ments. For the. sake of those who haven't their copy of the Early Season Number at hand, and who might wish to visit some of these places, we repeat. 1. Patterson the Piper lived under the big oak in the fork of Drowning and Naked Creeks be side the present road from Jack son Springs to Hoffman. 2. Kenneth Clark lived where Markham now lives, beside the road from Markham's bridge over Drowning Creek to Pine Bluff. The site of the old house is still pointed out and Alexander Mc Leod's grandson is still in the neighborhood to recount the fam ily story of this catastrophe. 3. Kenneth Black lived be tween Pinehurst and Southern Pines on a plantation now owned by the Wickers. He was a man of considerable property and a high quality of leadership, and a personal friend and protector of Flora Macdonald's. 4. Alexander Black lived on the main road from Aberdeen to Raeford just below the Sani torium, now known as the old Bethune place. As soon as Wade and Culp reached home they collected about one hundred dragoons, or mounted men, under Captain Bogan, and they came down swearing never to return until they avenged the death of that murdered boy, who seems to have been a favorite with Colonel Wade, and, in fact, with all who knew him. wade pays the piper On Thursday evening they en camped on the premises of Dan iel Patterson, the Piper, who lived on Drowning Creek but on the West side and, of course, in Richmond County. They caught the old man and whipped him until he gave up the names of all who were at Piney Bottom so far as he knew. Early on Friday they crossed the creek and en tered Moore County. They came first to old Kenneth Clarke's, now Duncan Blue's, and caught Alex ander McLeod, who had come there on business and without any apprehension of danger. Having tied him securely and pinioned his arms behind his back they put his little brother, John McLeod, a boy about eleven years of age, under guard and leaving the guard there they galloped down to John Clarke's, son of old Kenneth Clarke, but finding no men at the house they galloped down to a small field not far dis tant where they found John Clarke, Daniel McMillan, Dun can Currie, Allen McSweene and
