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. W?.--:er. and interment took place
at Bt-thany Baptist church. Wed- '
nesda;. afternoon at 1 o'clock. !

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.

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.
