Mr. Editor A few 'moments' re- flec.ton impresses one with the import ance, especially from a historical stand point, of No. 2 township, which ex tends from the city to Mecklenburg county. - .. Clustered around the name of Pop lar Tent are woven some of the most sacred emotions, and no spot in the world has a richer heritage from the pioneers of the years long gone than this glace. In intelligence, in patriot ism, in all the high graces that endow ed a proud and nob'le manhood and womanhood of the old school of the seventies the people of this section were richly endowed. This is the home of .rich planters of other days. Where Mr J W Wal lace now lives there was, in ante bel lum days, one cf the most beautiful and handsome country resi'er.crs in the country. It was owned by Mr. Edwin R Harris, and was called "Oak Lawn." The stage coaches from Charlotte to Salisbury stopped here. The place was surrounded by a large rock wall, parts of which still remain as emblems of the old regime. The place was afterwards called the Flan nagan place, then sold to Mr. E B Springs, and later to Mr. J V Wal lace. It is intetesting to trace back the history of these old country man sions which still stand as beacon lights of memory to show the beauties of the golden days of yore. No. 2 was rich in these. The Gib son place, the Moss place, the Means place, the several Harris places, the Cannon- place, the Mills place, etc. Each have a glorious heritage, and al most all have long since gone into de cay to keep time to the pressure of the 20th century. We have no time for traditions) no time for ornament, no time for the development of the aes thetic and the artful in these prosaic days. Everything now means dollars or its not interesting. No 2 to a great extent is still owned by a few men, and tenants galoreMive here, but another class of men rule things from the old slave owners be fore the war. The Cox place is old in history and interest. It is said that some build ings near here were built in 1771. There are records of machinery being run here at this date. The old mill house is heavy with age. and service But No. 2 is putting on new clothes in these latter days, The Bala mill, four miles from the city, is an innova tion in the mill business being built out in the country. It is dun; well and giving the operatives the luxury of living in the county still being in the factory. This section is well watered and furnishes one of the choicest agri cultural sections of the county. No. 2 townsnip was first settled in 1732, near Poplar Tent, by Scotch Irish immigrants from Pennsylvania and Maryland, named Clark, Alexan der, Reese, Harris, Black, Campbell, Meek and Wilson. Rev. John Thompson first preached to the people of Poplar Tent under a big poplar tree, which stood near the forest church, hence the name Poplar, and the branches, I suppose, were called the tent. This was in 1752. In 1802 this celebrated poplar tree fell to the ground. In 1769 Rev. Hezekiah J Batch, one of the signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde pendence of May 20th, 1775, and it is thought the one who wrote this cele brated document accepted the paste, rate of this church. In 1771 the colonial governor was transporting a lor of King George's powder from Charleston, when the government wagons were met on John Phifer's place in No. 2 by that brave band of Black boys, commanded by Captain Black, Bill Alexander, of Su gar Creek, and, assisted by the cele brated White boys of this neighbor hood, and the powder was destroyed. The Caldwells, originally from Ire land, came to Poplar Tent in 17S0- It is remarkable that Hezekiah J Black, Benjamin Patton, Robert Har ris, Zaccheus Wilson, John Phifer and David Reeset who were all signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration of lnde pendence in 1775, were all members of the Poplar Tent Church.
