of John Miller, printer. We lingered long by his grave, rities in the

for his eventful life afforded us food for meditation.

we could have seen and conversed with his descendants,

who live in this vicinity, we could have gained a fuller

sketch of him. Mr. Miller was the oldest printer in the ties in the

State. For the publication of Junius letters-the author

of those papers he well knew-he was expelled from Eng- Ime

land. He came to South Carolina; probably worked for

a while in the office of the first paper published in this

State, at Charleston, and thence removed to Pendleton,

using the press which Gen. Greene had in his campaign;

he did job work until he commenced the publication of

the Pendleton Messenger-the second paper established

in this State. The world has speculated much as to the pting entire

authorship of Junius, but John Miller carried the secret

to his grave at the 'Old Stone Meeting-house,' and has

left no information as to the name of the author."
