However, Friday morning Mr. Hinson was resting easily and his physician believes he will recover. The handcar passed over the spike without derail ing. the Mcdowell family. Continued from page '. The ascent on every side is steep and hard to climb. About 3 o'clock on the 7th of October, 118 J, after being in the saddle for 30 hours, and being drenched in rain, these daring patriots ap proached the mountain where Fergu son considered himself impregnable. A short time before they arrived upon the fatal field, each commander went along his lines and exhorted his men to fight like heroes conquer or die. That if any man was afraid, he should now turn back. Every man stood his ground; Col. Campbell was on the ex treme right when they made the at tack; Col. Shelby next; then Sevier; then Winston; then Hambright; then Williams; and on the extreme left, Maj. Chronicle. These lines complete ly surrounded the mountain. Sevier's and McDowell's regiments, in order to reach the enemy, had to cross a deep ravine and climb the mountain at its steepest point, and when they came in range they could do great execution while the enemy would shoot over them. It is said by Draper that none of McDowell's men were killed or wounded. This is a mistake. Young John Wilfong, who, after the battle, grew up to be a great man in wealth, popularity and good deeds, and who is the ancestor of many distinguished dead descendants and many living.and has been honored with the name of "Wilfong Lake" Guilford battle "round, was severely wounded in his right arm and carried that honorable scar to his grave. Daniel Whitener,of the South Fork, was also in McDow ell's Regiment. These two young men were close neighbors brothers-in-law. rental Wbitener told the late lieorge Summey, who related the same story n linn's. T. Wilfoucr, ' that he took vsi deliberate aim at Col. Ferguson. .luring the battle, as he ever did at a v - " buck, and when he fired his gun, Fer- - guson fell," with eight mortal wounds of which he died. That gun was presented by his noble descendant P. W. Whitener, to the Guilford Pattle Ground Coiupauy,and it is now among the Revolutionary relics on that great battle ground. The battle la ted about 54 minutes. During the fight the mountain was surrounded by a cordon of fire and was one continuous sulphurous blaxe. eight mortal wounds, and immediate ly died. 4I$rave but rah 'might have been' written on his tomb. After the battle, they divided Ferguson's be longings among some of the field of ficers. To Col. Cleveland, they gave Ferguson's white charger, because he had lo.-t his in battle; to Col. Camp bell they gave his correspondence; to Col. Sevier, his sword and sash; to Col. Shelby, his large silver whistle; to Maj. Joe McDowell, they gave his china set, and he gave them to his daughter Ann, who married Capt. Charles McDowell, of Quaker Mead ows, and she gave them to her four daughters. They a-e in the hands of their descendents to this day. Both of the Joe McDowells, of Plearant Garden and Quaker Meadows, in the great battle above spoken of, com manded the Burke and Rutherford regiments, one on the right wing, the other on the left. XoTK: If Maj. Joe McDowell, of Pleasant Garden, was only a captain, why did they not give the china to Col. Joe. of Quaker Meadows? Mrs. ('hie Justice Pearo:i told John Mc Dowell Michael, that her grand fath er. Maj. Joe, of Pleasant Garden, was the commander of. the Burke, and Rutherford regiments in that battle. Mrs. Dr. Geo. W. Michael says her Mills,Kings Mountain, and Cowpens were fought ami won principally by sroops from westerh -North Carolina ; id yet she nor th's soction of the country has scarcely any credit for the same. Many of her heroes who fought these great battles lie in neglected graves. Maj. Joe McDowell, of Pleas ant Garden, died in 171)5 and was buried at that place in the family cemetery and there is .scarcely a mark to tell wttyre he lies. Col. Joe McDowell, of Quaker Meadows, died about 1800 at his home father, the late Hon. John McDowell, j a son of Pleasant Garden Joe, told her frequently that his father com- j manded the Burke and Rutherford regiments at that battle. Miss Sallie McDowell, another daughter of Hon. j John McDowell, says the same thing, Miss Magie McDowell, a grand daugh ter of the late Hon. James McDowell and daughter of Dr. John McDowell says that her father told her that his grand-father Joe, of Pleasant Garden, was the commander of the mander of the Burke and Rurherford regiments in that battle. Dr. Geo. W. Michal, whose first wife was Mary Moffet Carson, and his second wife, Martha Moffet McDowell, s "d their families all said that Maj, Joe, of Pleasant Garden, was the commander of the Burk and Rutherford regiments in that battle. Maj. Beu Burgin, who was about 95 years of age, at the time told Dr. Michal about 40 years ago that he unew Maj. Joe, of pleasant Garden, was the commander of the Burke and Rutherford regiment at King,s Mountain. Historian Draper is mistaken when he says that Col. Joe, of Quaker Meadows, was the chief com mander because afterthe battle he robe along the line at Quaker Meadows and told the soldiers to use the rail on the place, for they belonged to him, whereas in truth, the plantation be longed to Col. Charles by right of pri mogeniture, which was not abolished in North Carolina until 1784 But why should there be any contest over this question, 'vhich of these grat man einmanded the Burke and Rutherford regiment at King's Moun tain?" their ancestor were of the- same Scotch-Irish blood. Ttheir fahers were cousins. They were nearly related themselvs. Their wives were sisters. Their descendants had nearly the same blood coursing through their veins, and each other to be interested in the fame of the other. But it is right that the truth of history should be known. If Maj. Joe, of Pleasant Garden, was the chief commander, posterity should know it. The result of this great vic- torv turned the tide of the Revolution I in favor of the independence of the Colonies. It fired th;? patriots wite new zeal. It gave uew hope to all America. It made the blooa or every Whig In-at quicker and prouder. In a short time after, the desisive battle of the Cowyens wasfouget, in which Col. Morgan and his heroes gained a great victory. Thus within a radius of lesj than 40 miles, the battle at Ilamsourt Mills, Kink's Mountain, and Cow Iens were fought and won princiially bv troops from western North Caro lina and yet she nor this section of the 'and statesman lit. ' In a short time the pi aces where these great men were buried will be known no more forever. Their names, the heroes of many deei ive battles, deserve to Ik carve! high on the granite idialt, erected to the memories of the heroes of King's Moun tain, on that great battle field, mid handed down to generations unlorr. The Scotch-Irish of America (said to be the highest develojK-d type of hu man race), ought to see to it that the names of these two heroes arid states and their noble deeds should not be foi got ten. A pencil mark is more re liable then all the memories of in.m kind, but the mark of the chisel in granite or' marble U more lasting than all the pencil marks and ail the memo ries of the world. It will lat .-ti lon as the eternal hiiN and until the earth shall melt with fervent heat.

Had it not been for the ariotie ami indomitable perseverance of Judge David Schenck. the North Carolina troops who fmht so gallantly at Guilford Court House. w. uid lie in disgrace and not a mark to tell where the great battle was fought. North Carolina furnished more troops iu the late Civil War and more of lu r sol diers killed and wounded iu battle ac cording toniimlfrs engaged, than any other of the Southern States. Yet in history he receives no crtht for it. She ha produced more great men ac cording to Herniation, than any State in America. At one time when Thos. 11. Benton Silas Wright. Hugh L.
