KERSHAW NBWB NOTES laUmtiaf News Notes Getktrtd From TIm Brs of Tfeat Plsce Ou lent Friday morning a negro giving his name as Richard Williams appeared at the store of U. I>. Trues- ; dale at WestvilLe leading a cow which he offered to sell to Mr. Truesdale: for I2&.00. Upon questioning the ne- j gro Mr. Truesdale came to the con- j elusion that the negro had stolen the I cow. He kept the negro waiting on , some pretext while he got into com- j munication with Rural Policeman Hough and Magistrate W. K. Taylor at Kershaw, who advised Mr. Trues- I daie to try to get the negro to Ker- : shaw, which he did, and took him to the store of Taylor Brothers, where the negro was questioned still further ( when he made practical acknowledge- . ment of his guilt. However, when he j nensed the fact that he was to be I placed under arrest and locked up, he made a quick dash out of the back door of the store and headed through the hack lot for the swamp below ; "Paddy's [follow," with Officer Hough and Mr. Truesdale after him. Officer Hough, who is snail of stature, but rather stout for his height, lost his , wind, but not so Mr. Truesdale, who j is a good sprinter, and captured {he negro in the swamp, where he had i run into the bog. The negro was j placed in the city jail here and was later taken to the county jail at Cam- I den. The owner of the cow appeared : on the scene, having followed the I tracks, and recovered his stolen ! property. We did not learn his name, \ but he is the father of the two small f negro boys who were frozen to death i. near the highway bridge over Hanging Rock creek just south of Kershaw about two years ago. Deputy .Sheriff G. F. Cooley and ' Ruriil Policeman DeBruhl, S. P. Wat- ! kins and J. L. Hough captured a 00 gallon copper still and three CocaCola bottles of bqgNWnore commonly called "Buck" in moonshine circles, ' near the Charlotte Thompson school j' house, south of Camden, last Friday. ; They were just a day too late to getii the operators, as there were evidences about that the still had been very recently operated. A barn belonging to O. B. Drake- ; ford, which stood on the lot at the bock of his home was destroyed by fire last Wednesday night about 9 o'clock. It is not known how the fire , originated. L The friends of Henry F. Owens, ' in the Westville community, were grieved to learn that he had died ' Tuesday night at the home of his brother, D. F. Owens. Mr. Ovrens, having contracted pneumonia, was ill : only a week. He was a man of a j lovable disposition and pleasing manners. He had just passed his forty- ! sixth birthday. He was never mar- ! ried and, as he lived alone, much of his time was spent in reading. The following sisters and brothers survive: . Mrs. G. D. Truesdale, Mrs. S. C. \ Truesdale, Mrs. G, C. Rush, W. H. Owens. J. T. Owens, D. F. Owens, J J. Owens and M. P. Owens, all of the Westville section. The funeral xe-v:r?~? were conductor! by Rev. O. ! M.

Middle Life i i Troubles "About twenty year* V ago, my health was < > very bad," says Mrs. V Mat Howard, of Terrell, Texas. *T was V passing through a critical time in my life, V and I suffered a great $ deal. I was not at all strong, and my nerves ^ got all upset, I had v hot flashes, and some- o times would get suddenly so jf X faint I could not stand up. My o 0 head would whirl, and I could J A not see a thing. I would nave to < ' > lie down for hours at a time. \ ! [ "1 improved so much after I ? 1 ' had taken Cardui for a while. I ' 1 continued the medicine for some < months,' until I had passed the ' critical period. Since then, I < have given Cardui to my five \ daughters.

We have all been < 1 ? better for having taken it." \ CARDUI |; Helps Women to Htalth J' Take ThedfonV* Black-Draught for Constipation.

The OU Home Place After an a bee nee of 26 years, I ; recently visited the oW farm where | 1 was born and lived the first few years of my life, 1 was not quite prepared for the change* that had, | takenA place, as follows: 1.?The old log where J used to dig doodle* was gone, aud instead of there being some soft dirt thereabouts | for doodles to doodle in, the ground [was badly washed and was as hard as some folks' head. I was teribly disappointed not to find that place as I I left it. 2.? 1 next proceeded to the little "shed" where 1 once kept my spotted bull calf, but the shed was not only not there, but the barn it was then a part of wus gone. Me and that bull spent so me happy days galloping around in the lot, and many a time did I get flung from his back, but so far as I now recall, we were always 1 the very best of friend*. Of course, when he kicked me in the tummy that i time, I hit him with a hand-stick as i soon as I got able to fight back. h -I looked in the house for the place where I always hid my goobers from the other younguns, but was again shocked. The room had been ceiled and the small nook in the boxing between the ' rafters that served as my receptacle was enclosed. J simply had to protect my goobers from the others if I wanted any for myself. I remember once of having "dug" nearly a half-gallon from my patch. They lasted me abyut 2 weeks. Every time I got goober hungry, I'd climb that wall and get me 2 or J. Gosh, them was good goobers, too. 4.?I next visited the "big field.'' Those jow-s (when I was a kid) were at least a mile long, but that plot <*i land had srunk up to such an extent that the same rows were only feet long. And the big gully that used to be so tremendous was only about 8 feet deep. That was a horrible change to behold. I asked a man who lived there if it hadn't filled up during the past few years, but he assured me that it had grown bigger ever since I left. I still believe he was not telling the truth. 5. The stump where I used to pics pine raw-zum" had'disappeared and the scaly-back tree had likewise vamoosed. The orchard where I was "wont to go" and eat green apples and plums was not there. Our front pi-izza had even been torn awuy. The pasture fence had given its place to a thicket. The well-box was a small affair instead of the big one we had. Everything that I had enjoyed and ; associated with was not there .to I make me feel good again. And I am told that a man is getting sorter old ; when he yearns for the old home ' place and its environment. But folks, that was a very sad vl^it. t-e-s-t-i-m-o-n-i-a-l-s Carnesville.

The first station I got was talking about dogs, the second one < was explaining the Aerodititua, a new South A pi eric an insect, the third was a speech regarding the origin of the "Hole-in-1" club and the fourth was "Turkey in the Straw" on a mouth organ.

He staged a wonderful record before his car was repossessed. He drove 9.999 miles, worked 8 days, passed 53 bogus checks, burnt 1,1 li gall oi.s gas, got in debt for groceries to the tune of $178.25, failed to pay his taxes, stayed away from preaching 123 times and lost the 45 dollars Aunt Minervy loant him to make the "down" payment. About the time we "deef" fellows decided that the movingpictures were our chief source of entertainment, as they required no ear-strain tp be understood and enjoyed, along came the "talkies," and I suppose we unfortunate guys will have to return to street sight-seeing for our entertainment and amusement.

Youth and Old Age Unite In Wedlock Dillon, April 21.?Judge Joe Cabell Davis, who has married thousands of couples from this and other states during his long tenure of office, broke all records Thursday night when he joined in wedlock George Slate, aged 1*5 years, and Miss Annie Tyner, who gave her age as 28 years. The couple resides near Fayetteville, N. C., where Mr. Slate owns and operates his own faijm and does his own ploughing. Mr. Slate, whose hair is just beginning to tinge with gray and I who appeared to be a man of wonderful energy and vitality, told Judge Davis that his father died at the age of 111 years and that his mother when she died was 102 years old. Mr. Slate is also a veteran of the Confederate war and saw four years of active service. This makes the fifth time that Mr. Slate has been married, his other wives having lived to reach ripe ages. Judge Davds says this is the most remarkable couple he has married during the 15 years he has occupied the office of probate judge.
