II* staled, that many church members . had money enough to buy new cars every year, and %o spend for luxu)ic but not for church work. A little later we listed lh on the Cam. den baptist church services. Mr. W. ti. Wilson, the church secretary, was telling of the financial atfairs of the church, ami then Rev. Canton followed it. up in his preliminary remarks stating that many peopfc could pay their church dues if they would leave ofT some of their luxuries. Parties attending the circus in Columbia from Camden apd surrounding territory Tuesday night tell us that the tent was crowded to overflowing ,pnd press notices state that the ticlwtoffice had to cease selling tickets. People seem to have money enough to do what they want to do, and the other and more graver problems of life go unattended. All of which prompts the following timely editorial in the Columbia State of Thursday morning: "A circus was in town Tuesday or this week. "We are told it was a good circus. "This circus afid other good lent shows have visited Columbia in past years; in years that were lean and years that were fat, but so far as we L>cull not before has the thing happened which happened on Tuesday. "This circus came to towft ju?t l\ few days after an earlier bird had come along and, as we imagined, skimmed off vthe cream, fr or of course vou know that in these "tight times Columbia and the neighboring territory could not fie expected t? ?lV?. even fair patr&nage to two circuses when they follow each oVhd^ so closely. . , "We know that the first circus had a parade on Main street, and that big crowds attended the performances, but what of the second circus? It had no parade, but it had a -tent capable of seating 9,000. Only 7,000 attended the afternoon performance. It was hot; 01 in the shade. "but in the "cool of the evening the circus people had to stop selling tickets?after 11,000 had been sold! It was just too bad the tent wasn't bigger. It was just too bad "times ore so tight." "Perhaps it is just as well for them that the management of this second circus didn't send scouts through here to enquire of some of our leading statesmen and some of our business men about "prospects." They would have been discouraged. They would have been warned to* avoid the tragody of getting stranded. "It seems quite true that those who ^ are afraid to hunt never l>Ag any . game." YOUR NOSE AM) MINK Once -^vh^|r^vj si ting a photographer ' tq,g*t-my"pictur ruck, the man-said: /'Turn your head a lottlo mite to one | + side?your nose is a little crooked." Well .sirs, up'to that time I had a pretty good opinion of my proboscis ? believing it to be as plumb as the average, but in noting faces, particularly in pictures, very few noses show up to good advantage when the jubject^directly faces the camera! Another thing about noses. In all the world, among millions of people, there are no two exactly alike. Some turn up, some down, some long, sonic Hat. and the girls spend millions for powder to keep 'em from look in' shiny.

A product of the little red ?choolhou*6, as so many beat things are: Just 100 years ago?on July 22, IhM-Benjamin Russell Iftonby was horn near the little district school where he later scribbled on a blackboard the words to "Darling Nellie Gray", as a singing exercise for his pupils. And at nearby Kultonham lives Mrs. T. M. Adams, now 00 years old, believed to be the only 'living pupil who attended thai school and learned the words of the song from the poet himself. It is her brother, George ft Kalb, 84-year old KusWville newspaper man, who. tells at first hand how Hanby wrote: "There's a low green valley on the old Kentucky shore, Where I've whiled many happy hours away. fe. A-sitting and a-singing by the little cottage door, Where liyed my poor Nellie Gray." Hanby was the - son of a United Brethren minister and spent his boyhood days playing about an old church, which also proved as a school, the adjacent cemetery. One of Hanby'a playmates was a Boy named Hyde, According to Kalb it was the grave of a runaway slave in the old churchyard that gave Hanby his inspiration for the song. But it wfc not until 1 Hanby had moved away with his parents to Circleville, then to Wousterville, Ohio, and had returned to Rushvillc to teach sohool thai he wrote the song. He. renewed his friendship with Hyde, and the two of them were fond of spending hours in the old churchyard where they had played as boys. One grave interested them in particular, and Hyde, who had learned the story, said it v^ps the grave of Joe Selby. a Negr.0. slave who had escaped from Kentucky and had died of pneumonia, Selby, so he had told the little group of sympathetic abolitionists gathered about his death bed, had been in love with a slave girl by the name of Nellie Gray on a neighbbring' plantation. But her owner had been forced by debt to sell her to a new owner farther south. In desperation he had tried to escape to Canada where he hoped to earn enough to purchase her freedom. Deeply impressed by the story, Hanby went to his room and began jottirtg it down in the form of a poetn. A few days later he wrote it upon the school blackboard and began teaching the words and tune to his pupiis. An Old Patriarch of Liberty Hill Among instances of staminu and longevity recorded in Kershaw county that of an Irishman, Arthur ( unningham. who (luring the latter pai't of the 18th century settled on Beaver creek, near the Igincaster county line, founded a remarkable family ami prospered. ' His tonibstone, on the old Summerville enclosure. about three miles above Liberty Hill, says that when he died, 1828, he was "about 100 years old." Kirkland and Kennedy, in their "Historic Camden," say that when more than 80 years of age he would ride horseback to and from Camden on the same day, a distance of more than 4o miles," and that "about this period of his life, too, he took unto himself a second wife, Mary Twaddle. and lived to see a daughter by thi.- union grow to womanhood and marry." Hi- oldest son. Joseph, at hi.- death in I S.">(> had a fortune of approximately a million dollars, "and his wealth was all from farming operation-.
