Suddenly flames , r.shot from beneath the lid and ignited , the clothing of the little girl. , ^ ran to the room where her parents , were still in bed. Both Mr. and Mrs. ( 8 Baker rushed to her and succeeded in tearing off the burning clothing but not before she was seriously burned about the neck and face. Dr. J. H. Hardin, the attending phy- t sician, said it would possibly be a < matter of days before he could tell j ?1?fKa will curvivp wiitruiei ui uui ouv i ' Both Mr. and Mrs. Baker were pain- j ' fully burned about their hands. 1 Lucile is a bright little school girl 1 and thi^ community will be distressed \ to hear of her misfortune. j Mother's Club Story Hour. : On tomorrow (Friday) afternoon at four o'clock at the school house th Mother's Club Story Hour will be held.

IL Meeting. c t I The Old Cheraw's Chapter, D. A. R - wa3 entertained at the home of Mrs. 1 C. L. Prince on Saturday p. m., Nov. 25 * As it was the first meeting of the a . Chapter after the State Conference, . the afternoon was given over to re. ' ports from the Conference and t discussions of the various branches of s our State work. The representativces at the Charles. 0 1 ton meeting, Mrs. Prince as Regent and c ' Mrs. Spruill as Delegate, were quite i impressed with the large scope of 1 work being- done and were enthusias- (' tic over the entertainment and attentions extended by the members of the c Rebecca Motte Chapter and their f friends. n All enjoyed hearing their interesting 1 reports. Before adjourning there was a pleas- c ant social hour, during which a deli- s cfnus collation was served from a 1 beautifully appointed table in the 1 dining-room. Among the special guests of the afternoon was Mrs. Andrew Manning " of Spartanburg. f g o Song First Written "Way Down Ppon Pee Dee River." V In a recent issue of the MHN'TOR I magazine there is an article of interest to citizens of the Pec Dee section. ^ The article referred to is a sketch of the life of Stephen Foster, the anc thor of 170 popular songs. Among ; others that he wrote were "Old Folks at Home," "My Old Kentucky Home" ^ , and "Old Black Joe," etc. It is said that the "Old Folks at Home" is the | most popular one ever written and f that even the natives in Africa and Asia sing it. But the matter that especially interests this section is an V . illustration the photograph of the manuscript of "The Old Folks at Home" as it was first written. It shows that instead of reading "Why down un the Swnnee Vtivnr" it rond "Way down upon the Pee Dee River" but he found the name of the river did not fit the meter so he pot an atla? ] and hunted for a river with a name i that would fit it. He chose the Swanee < River which, by the way, had no "Old \ Plantations" or slaves living on it when the song was written. I The Author lived in Pittsburg, Pa.'\ and had never been South except on . a short trip, however most of his famous songs were written about the South. Dr. Sikes Coining. e The T). A. R.

A movement is now on foot, originat ng with Mr. Covington of Clio, to diert the Calhoun Highway by Clio to lowland, instead of by Dillon. Beyond Rowland, North Carolina, the Fairmont people are working hard to jet the Highway by Fairmont and Me Donalds to Lumberton or direct to [loardman, .North Carolina, and several other competitive routes are beng agitated. All of these matters will be definitely settled at the meeting of he Board of Directors of the Calhoun Highway Association which is to be leld in Abbeville, South Carolina, on December 15, the members of the Association to he the guests of the Abbeville Chamber of Commerce. The meetings of the Board of Directors are held four times each year and are held in such places as it is- found the greatest work will be needed. A1 present Abbeville is busily engaged in solving the Savannah River problem and for this reason this meeting ol the Board ??f Directors is to be held in Abbeville upon the invitation of th? Abbeville Chamber of Commerce. Th( next meeting in April will be held in such place as thought best for the Interest of Highway. Cheraw can get this meeting, if the people so desire. GBAVES IN ST. DAVID'S CEMETEBI CHEBAW 3 V In 1882 a stranger registered at 3 Timmons Hotel, which stood on the 4 corner where the Cheraw Hardware , and Supply Co. store now stands. He appeared to have money and wa> t gambler. A few mornings later he f was found dead in bed with his throat i cut from ear to ear. Several hundred s dollars in gold was on the table bej side the bed and several hundred dolr lars in his trunk. The coroners in| quest was held and the jury brought in a verdict of suicide. There was great excitement as to who he was. With a part of the money, a metalic cofi was bought and he was buried in an , unmarked gravje near the Confederate ' monument. A few days later his brother and a , lawyer visited Cheraw and it was , found that his correct name was HOWELL PARAMORE The year previous Gen. Bryan , Grimes, a distinguished general of the ! Confederacy and then State Treasurer of North Carolina was waylaid a shot near his home near Washington, N. vJ. At tne trial it was snown tnat he was murdered by William Parker, a croatan, who confessed killing him, but testified that he was paid $100, horse and buggy and a suit of clothes by Howell Paramore to commit the deed. Paramore employed lawyers to defend Parker and with a packed Jury, he was acquitted, though he had confessed. Soon after Paramcre was arrested for poisoning 'the well of a neighbor and while under bail turned all his property into cash and skipped. He was not heard of until his death in Cheraw. Parker after his acquittal went to Virginia where he remained for eight years and then came back to Washing, ton, N. G'. One Saturday evening while drunk he boasted of killing Gen. Grimes. He was arrested for disorderly conduct and was locked up. That night he was taken out and banged on the Pamplico bridjju by unknown parties. It is hard to aee how the coroner Jury brought in a verdict of suicide for Howell Paramore when the bed was saturated with blood, the cover drawn up and about a foot from his head on the bed sheet was the print of a bloody right hand and on the white plastered wall two feet above his head was the print of a bloody left hand as if some one in the semidarkness with bloody hands had lean, ed over him. In this day and time of thumb prints no doubt the murderer would have been caught. The room in which the murder was committed was in a wing of the hotel which stood about where M. W. Duvall's store now is. As the hotel peo. pie could get no one to sleep in It after the murder it was rented to Capt. J. 0. Ladd for an office, he placing his desk against the wall covering the bloody hand print. The hotel was torn dowi in 1886 and the stores now standing erected. The son of Gen. Grimes, the Hon. J. Bryan Grimes is now Secretary of the State of North Carolina. Who killed Howell Paramore? . o Mrs. J. W. Motte Dies Suddenly. Her many friends in Cheraw were shocked and saddened when they learned that Mrs. J. W. Motte had died suddenly at her home near Savannah, Ga. Mrs. Motte was the wife of the late Rev. J. W. Motte, who for 25 years was rector of St. David's church commencing shortly after the Civil War. Mrs. Motte, before her marriage was Miss Mary Bryan of this place. She was in her 78th year and was survived by an only son, Ward Motte, who was at one time Mayor of Savannah. Mrs. Motte was a lovely Christian character and much admired by many friends here. rnvitatlou to Welcome Marshall Foch at Greenwood.

Christmas Seal Sale. Among the 150,000 persons killed by :uberculosis in the United States last rear, nearly 2,000 were South CJaroinians. This point with other facts 8 made known in a statement made oday by the Rev. Hugh R. Murchison. Campaign Director of the Christmas seal Sale in this State. Mr. Murchison gives as the official sstimate of active cases of tuberculous in South Carolina 16,000. During 1920 there were 1,914 deaths, yet there ire only 160 beds to care for patients. Vlth only one bed for every hundred ictive cases the people of the State ire being asked what is to be done vlth the 99 cases out of every hundred vho through lack of treatment either He or continue the spread of the dread lisease throughout the remainder of he population. Death calls 12,000 :hildren under five years of age each rear in this country. More than fifty >er cent, of all children are infected vith tuberculosis before they are ten rears old and the percentage increas. 58 until at 18 years It reaches Its maxmum of from 60 to 90 per cent. One of the aims of the South Caroina Tuberculosis Association, states Mr. Murchison, is to eeek out and record all cases of tuberculosis, and to provide treatment as a matter of proaction to the rest of society, who dalv are endangered by the germ wh'eh tills thousands of the best citizens.
