By jeason of the .dispute regarding the line there has 'for many years been a consequent dispute as to which county is entitled to the taxes-on certain sections of land in the disputed; territory.

Dr. Lowry spent his early manhood on the plantation, but some years after he was grown, decided to be a physician and went to the Charleston Medical college taking a diploma from tbat in stitution in 1841. Upon leaving college he went to Lancaster county and commenced the practice of medicine. He re mained in Lancaster only about a year, however. Returning to Yorkville in 1842, he marred Miss Louisa Avery, and after his marriage began to give his at tention more particularly to farming, finally abandoning his medical practice altogether, WW .-: a his medical career covered a period of only about twelve years. ' Dr. Lowry continued to live in Yorkville until 1900, when he went to Hickory, N. C, to live with his daughter, Mrs. Matthews, and when Rev. and Mrs. Matthews . went to Okla homa, he went with them.
