J. H. Thayer, motoied to old Waxhaw
church yard last Saturday afternoon.
This sacred spot has long
been of interest to all who care for
the past history of South Carolina
and the visiting clergymen found
much to interest them. They spent
several hours deciphering the epitaphs
on the old soapstone tablets,
many of which furnish dates and
facts otherwise impossible to secure.
Of e8peci??l interest to the visitors
was the last resting place of William
Richardson Davie, the father of the
University of North Carolina, who
Introduced the bill in the North Carolina
legislature creating the university.
The grave of the father of Andrew
Jackson cannot be identified, although
It is a matter of history that
the general's father was buried there.
Rev. William Richardson, a native of
Ireland, first pastor of the ancient
church, around which the cemetery
extends, was also buried there.
The neighborhood of Waxhaw was
the first settlement In Lancaster
county and in the old grave yard are
to be found the araves of mnnv
pioneers who mr.de possible the
blessings we enjoy today. Col. 1
James H. Witherspaon, Sr., the flrst
of that name in Lancaster county,
many of the Fosters, the Richard- .
sons, the Crawfords, the Lathans, the
Donnoms, and the ancestors of many
other Lancastrians were laid to rest !
in "God's Acre" surrounding old
Waxhaw church.

Children's Day at HulTalo Church.
To the .Editor of The News:
As I nqver see anything from here
I thought that I would give a little .
news. It is not on visiting. I just
want to tell what a good meeting we
had at Buffalo church last Sunday.
It was Children's Day and I must say
it was the grandest I ever saw. Mr. '
Birchmore, of Camden, came up and
gave a good talk after the exercises '
were over. I think it pleased him; he
said he wanted to borrow the school
to carry to Camden to show what a
read Children's Day meant. Now if <
this misses the waste basket, which '
I do not think it will, I will come
again. R. J. L. j
