NKBUC1IADNEZZAK
By Irwin Russell.
Irwin Kutttell ( 18JW 1870) , "I he hoy
IKHjt of MJmIhsIppI," deserves the eredr
it for being the first to use negro
dialect as un artistic medium In verae,
-He was ?4v a<b?pt in jdaying tho ban
jo, the favorite Instrument among Mw
old-time .southern negroes, and by a
happy accident he w?? led Into mrt
posing to tlw? aeoomjMtnlment of tills
instrument impromptu verses or songs
In imltathni of. the "spirituals" and
"hoe- down*" which he frequently heard
the negroes sing in his father's house*
hold at I'ort dlbson, Miss. In 1870
he began publishing t hese humorous ne
gro dialect poems in Hcrlbner's Maga
zine. Joel Chandler Harris, Thomas
Nelson Pago, and other later workers
in negro dialect have admitted their In
debtedness to Hussell, who is now look
ed upon as the pioneer in this field.
The most notable of all Russell's pro
ductions Is <hls negro operetta, "Christ
xnas Night in the Quarters." This Is
an imltahlf i?leture of the negro slaves
In their "(jtmrters^" that is the section
of the old-time southern plantation set
apart for the cabin* of (Ik* negroes.
The place Is a fairly long series of
KceneH and songs setting forth the
Christ mas dance of the negroe* at their
"quarters," all treated sympathetically
and humorously In varied verse forms.
Next to "Christmas Night in the Quar
ters." in i?opularlty, If not In artistic
.merit, conies "Nebuchadnezzar," first
published in^fcorlbner's Magazine, June
187H. It Is a .monologue In which the
, v ^
negro plowhoy Is describing the clui rive
ter 1st Irs of hl? ihnle. The climax comes
suddenly ?and emphatically at the end
of the fourth stanza. The effective
iloublc or feminine rhymes the wonder
fully natural and accurate reproduc
tion i J' llio dialect, and the delightful
humor of the |hh'Iii have made It a
great favorite for recitation or public
reading. ?

and pained lo learn of the deat|> of
Mr. John H. Clack, a prominent young
business lnau of this city, fchUch oc
cured nt the Tuoincy Hospital Monday
evening at 3 o'clock.
Something like a week ago Mr. Clacks
Buffered an attack of appendicitis
and was taken to tbe hospital for au op
eration. The opera tlou seemed to hare
l>ecn a successful one and -be appeard
to be on the road to a rapid recovery,
wben he took a suddeu turn for the
worse shortly before bis death.
Mr. Clack was born In Clarksfllle,
Va., and when a small boy his family
moved to Henderson, N. C.t where he
lived until be came to Sumter to taket
a portion with the Atlantic Coast
l.lue. l^ater he accepted a position with
the Southern railway, and served them
as agent for several years. A few
years age he organized the John R.
Clack Realty Company, and has been
quite successful in the real estate bu
siness. He earned a merited position
of -respect 'and esteem among his fellow
townsmen, and was never too buey
with business uffalrs to assist those
who needed his assistance. His suddon
demise Is l>elng felt by a large number
of friends whose sympathy goes out
to bis wife and family.
He is .survived by his wife, who be
fore her marriage was Miss Sbarlie

Value of a College Education
There was never a time when expert
knowledge was so highly prized and so highly
compensated."
High wages for untrained labor will
tempt many a young man to discount the value
of a college education. But such an education
representing the work of four years, viewed
mereltf -as an investment of time and of money
is eqUaL in 'earning capacity to an estate of
more than $50,000.
What estate comparable with this can the
parent of average means hope to give or leave
to his son? What young man can acquire
that much value in the same time at any other
business.
Education fits one for a life whose pos
sibilities are limited only by his capacity and
character, five ntuaily for the untrained there
awaits the slavery of ignorant and undirected
effort.
Clemson College brings within the reach
of every young man in South Carolina the ben
efits and possibilities of a technical education.
At Clemson College a boy from the humblest
home in South Carolina can prepare himselff
for a high place in the service of hfa state and
jiation. /'
