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."

Once -^vh^|r^vj si ting a photographer '

/'Turn your head a lottlo mite to one |

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

Story of How Old
Song Wat Written
Remember "Darling Nellie Gray"?
Here'* the atory of how it came to be
written. 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."

"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

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."
