John Howard Payne Anniversary
(A Contributor in The Florence
New*-He view)
The present week mark* the seventy-fifth
anniversary of the death of
John Howard Payne, who wrote the
immoital song, 'Home, Sweet Home,"
which was sung in public for the first
time a little more than a cen'ury ago
a* a pait of the opera "Ciari, or the
Maid of Milan," produced at Covent
Garden Theatre in Ixtndon.
Payne was an American, bout in
New York in 17U1. Hi* life was one
of disappointment and misfortune.
As a boy he was madly keen on the
stugc, and at the age of twelve received
his first chance to take up
theatrical work, but his father, horrified
at the mere idea of his son
becoming an actor, had him apprenticed
to a merchant.
During the dreary existence that
followed the boy found relief in publishing,
unaided a small theatrical
weekly paper which drew a certain
amount of attention, hor two years
he attended Union College at Schenectady,
where he displayed his talents
in editing and publishing a college
paper.
After his mother's death in 1?07,
he gained the consent of his father',
who had lost all his property, to his
appearance upon the stage. He made
his debut as Young Nerval at the
Park 'I heat re in New York, February
21. and subsequently appeared in Boston,
Baltimore und several other
cities. Jn 1H12 he played Hamlet to
Mr.-. Duff's Ophelia.
At the age of twenty he went to
London. At Drury Lane Theatre he
gained fair success as an actor and
playwright, but with nothing outstanding
until 1 Slid, when he produced
"Clari."
On reviewing it he felt the second
act could be improved, and forthwith
wrote the words of "Home, Sweet
Home." The music for the song he
got adapted by Sir Henry Rowland
Bishop from an air he once heard
sung by a Sicilian peasant girl. And
thus the song nearly the whole world
knows came into being.
Payne was present to hear the tremendous
success the song achieved at
( ovent Garden, but the restless spirit
of the wanderer was in him, and for
twelve l'>ng years he made Kurope
his a miles-. pathway. Although royalty
s from "Home, Sweet Home"
brought him in $10,000, the money
oon slipped through his hand-, and
ne had to go on writing for- hi- iive1
i h < - d.
After his wanderings abroad he returned
*n America, only fo find all
friends were scattered. In his
loneliness he gladly accepted the poj
itioir <d I nite<l States consul at

Mountaineer Has Narrow Kscape
Greenville, March 31.?When u
man suddenly disappears in the
mountains of upper Greenville county
it usually means that he has been
shot down. But this hoary conclusion
in such cases proved today to be en|jiel>
in error. ?
Relatives of George Capps who
lives in the Chestnut Springs section
of the county, came to Greenville today
and took out warrants for Homer
Moody and Adger Moody, two young
mountain men, charging them with
the murder of Capps. The two had
lured young Capps away from his
home the night before and he had
failed to show up again.
Before the warrants could be nerved
Capps walked into the sheriff's
office and like Mark Twain established
the fact that he was living, ail
rumors to the contrary notwithstanding.
The warrants were changed to read I
assault and battery with intent to
kill.
Capps said that after calling him i
out of the house the Moodys forced
him to get quietly into their car and
that a few miles down the mountain
road when they disagreed as to
the method of disposing of the body,
he escaped. They fired into the
mountain-side bushes after him but
he made good his dash for liberty and
fearing to return home slept in the
woods overnight, he told the sheriff.
The Moodys are in jail.
How to Kill Cut Worms

] Many years ago 1 found an infallible
remedy for cut wo; ins A pinch
j of cottonseed meal si altered on and
around a plant will ?.b*ofutelv pro-'
vyil the ravages of Mr. Cut Worm.
If :l :s not washed off by rain it is a
j small work to out it back. I do not
I know whether i- is poisonous to the|

but it puts or. absolute crimp on him.
The meal i- also a most excellent j
i fertilizer and serves to give the plant
a g-rod start. I have tried this on
j cabbage, tomatoes, lettuce and many
other kinds of plants with invariable
-uccess.
I also have a remedy for tomato
blight which I have tried many times
and with invariable success. Soak
your tomato seed in a strong solution
of bluestone the night before you
plant thenn I saw this suggestion in
Landrcth's Seed Catalog a number of
years ago, tried it and found it a
great protection againfct blight.

Dr. Frank Crane Says:
Your Knowledge Has Power
Knowledge is power?sometimes.
It rs power only when it is practical
knowledge.
The mere acquisition of facts and
information may make a man informed,
hut unless those facts apply
to what he undertakes they do not
increase his power.
You may learn all the intimate
facts about all the Kings of Knglind
without helping you appreciably in
the cement business.
It may make it easier to live with
yourself, but it will not increase your
power.
Bariie has a play about a yacht
full of educated people which goes
aground upon an uninhabited island.
The only man who knows what to
do is the uneducated butler.
He builds a shelter and hunts for
food while the others stand helpless.
1 What little education he had was of
| a "practical sort that applied to the
needs of the moment.
He had power because his knowledge
applied there. In a drawingroom
conversation the outers would
have had power because their knowledge
fitted the needs of that situation.
Tho.-e who sneak of the failure of
education make the mistake of thinking
that power is the only end- of
knowledge. ' >
Knowledge is of three kinds.

There 'is knowledge tfcrtl
power; knowledge that 'gives*
knowledge that gives wisdom.
Knowledge is like Hie food >

So only a part of knowUqH
to make power. Some men*

of great eminence because the*
range of their information s a*

Another part of knowledg?
