A sudden change in the weather
makes the preachers feel bad. Why,
we can't tell?they know.
A few more days like last week, and
the farmers will be getting busy.
Linley and Will Funderburk, colored,
were up before Esquire Funderburk
on Monday for larceny, and each
got thirty days on the public works
of the county. . We did not hear the
evidence, but the case was out of the
ordinary. Linley took a tool to work
with?an ax?while Will was a little
more careful, and took a five-dollar
bill.
The Union Distributing Company
has purchased the corne:* at McGregor
and Dearie streets, near the public
well. The lot is oOxlu feet, and the
price paid was $1200. Four years ago
the same lot could have been bought
for less than one-twelfth of the
amount paid. Of course Pageland is
the place to invest your money, and
see it grow.

Oscar Funderburk to Miss Nettie Railey,

INCENDIARY AT WORK
STROUD IS CIIAROED
WITH BURNING BARNS
Tracked to His Home By Bloodhounds,
. .Slayer of the James Is Agala In JaiL
Had Just Been Released on Bond.
Crowd Wanted to Lynch Him.
Sunday night, about 10 o'clock, the
barns and stables of Messrs. J. B.
treater and John Hurst, near Chesterfield,
were destroyed by fire. Two
horses, three cows and -five mules I
were cremated; and.a large amount of I
grain, feedstuffs and farming implements
totally destroyed.
After the fire, tracks were discov-!
ered leading to and from the scene of
the burning. These were carefully j
coyered with boards, to protect them.
Hounds were 6ent for to Columbia,
and they arrived on the scene Monday j
night. They were put on the scent,
alter the tracks were uncovered, and
in a very short while they came to
bay at the home of John Stroud. When
the hounds saw Stroud, who was
aroused from his bed. they could with
difficulty be kept from attacking him.
Stroud, Chronicle readers will remember,
recently shot and killed
George James and his son Bunyan, at
Craig's Mill, in this county. Only a
fevf days ago he was released from
jail on a bond of $5,0)0.
When Stroud was discovered by the
dogs, the crowd became furious and
openly talked of lynching him on the
spot. Sheriff Douglas, in order to pacify
them, told them to let him go into
the house- and get Stroud properly
dressed. Then he, with his prisoner,
[went out through a back door, and to
! Chesterfield, where Stroud was again
lodged in jail.

A BIRTHDAY GREETING ' ,
i
From a Native of Cheraw Calls Up
Memories of Half a Ceutury.
To the Editor of The Chronicle.
Saturday, January 14, 1854.
Saturday, January 14, 1911.
Fifty-seven years J
As we look at these words and fig- '
ures, do they seem^o represent a long
measure of time?
To the writer, whose lot it was?at
least, so the "old folks" tell me?on
the afternoon of the former date, to 1
first open baby eyes to look upon the '
beauties and wonders of God's handiwork
as set forth in dear old Cheraw,
the answer comes both "Yes" and 1
"No". *
To no subscriber, I am sure, does
the weekly visit of The Chronicle 1
bring more pleasure on the one hand
or more sorrow on the other hand
than to me. Being the one constant
messenger from "home", the one unfailing
correspondent from the people
nmnrnr whnm I first lived and loved, 1
and from the scene of the happy, carefree
boyhood days, do you wonder that
I say the local page has an ever-Increasing
faclnation for the dweiler In
the smoke and grime and noise of the
far-off great city, where from dawn to
dark the day brings only visions of
bricks and mortar, white marble doorsteps
and black asphalt pavements,
end instead of the joyo-u songs of i
the birds ,only the coustaat anJ nerve
racking rumble of the trolley car is
heard?
Thank (Jod, however, when the wind
blows strong enough to clear the at-j
mosphere of smoke, the bright blue
dome of the heavens is visible?if one
looks up.
From 1854 until early in 1869?except
for a period of three months Just
after the close of the war in 1865?
Cheraw was my dwelling place, and
today, although the great majority of
those prominent in her daily life at
that time are sweetly sleeping either,
in old St David's churchyard or other,
"cltlea of the dead", and myy school-J
ory are in widely scattered parts or^
the world fighting life's battles; Che-)
raw is still cherished as "home", and
nn thoco hirthdavs which now seem
to come so frequently, and which are,
so relentlessly checking up the added
years, the heart yearns for a sight of
t^e old place, the ears to hear the j
voices of old friends, and the eyes to J
look upon the old familiar scenes. i
But, alas! so many of the old faces
have gone former; so many of the
old voices called hence to help swell
the cholrus of the host of the redeemed,
that a day quietly passed incog.,
and with a camera, in the old town a
few years ago, brought through the
eyes a greater measure of sadness
than of joy. Thank God, however,
The Chronicle shows me a few of the
"Old Guard" still remain, or worthy
sons succeed worthy fathers, and Cheraw
leans upon them in triumphant
faith and confidence: to wit, the Malloys,
Mathcsons, Godfreys, Reids, and
others.
Of those who have "gone on ahead",
the Greggs, Princes, Kollocks, Wilsons,
Coits, McLeans, Powes, Mclvers, '
Waddills, Grahams, and Sanderses
the latter two of schoolhoue days),
many blessed memories remain.
tv, thncfl u'hn still live nermit me to
extend a fraternal hand, and to express
the hope, as thoughts of. the old i
days flit across their memories, that
they may reciprocate with kindly feel- :
iiig for one who, though absent for i
forty-two long years, still delights to
be numbered as among the "boys of i
Cheraw" in the days of "auld lang i
syne". '
Articles in recent issues of The ,
Chronicle in reference to the work i
of the Civic League, "Charming Cheraw"
and Mr. A. G. Kollock's reprinted
letter about the "Cheraw and Coal '
Fields Railroad" have turned loose a
flood tide of memories and feelings
which must find vent in this birth-!
day greeting to cherished friends still
remaining in the place where my first
birthday was celebrated.
Yes, it does seem a long time. God
bless us all, each boy and girl of the
then, each man and woman of the
now, and prepare ns for tlie summons
which sooner or later must come to
each; and may it he the happy lot of
us all to hear Him say to us, "Well !
done, pood and faithful servant."
So, it does not seem lonp.
