Perpetual Motion- The Spartanburg correspondent of the News and Courier thus speaks of an old gentleman, well known in this part of the State and who died recently: A remarkable character died in the southern part of the county a few days ago. N. V. Van Patton came from New York got an interest in one of the primitive cotton factories of the County. He purchased the property known as Van Patton's Shoals, a fine water power on Enoree. Years ago, he began to work at perpetual motion and his time and means were spent in endeavoring to get up self-propelling power. He was a quiet good man with considerable information, but his life and usefulness were dwarfed by continual work at the impossible. Leigh C.
