Here came Patrick Calhoun, the

almost riotious demonstration
The oldest inhabitant says THAT
Reese Massey said the corpse

lamentations into revelry. When
morning appeared preparations
we're made for the little Journey
back to the Waxhaw church.
There were no roads through the
deep forest, and no wagons or
carts upon which to carry the
body. A rough, wooden sled was
made just wide enough for the
corpse, horse was harnessed to
one end, and the funeral process.

The journey was long and tire
some. The rough sled was drag
ged along through underbrush,
between sapliu8s, over rayines,
along the hillside. When about
four miles of the journey WAC
covered, the PROCESSION came TO q
halt and refreshments were
served. Reese Massey know

the driver to go up the stream 2
short distance with the corpse in
order to fad a suitable fording
place, and again the procession
halted, proceeding to fill up.
Reese Massey could locate this
very spot on the banks of Wax
haw creek.
The funeral party was by this
|
time in very hilarious humor,
and as soon as they heard the
voice of Pat, the driver, halloo-
ing up the creek announcing that
he had crossed, they started on
IN advance ready for a frolic or q
fight. In the meantime the
driver, thinking less of the corpse
and more as to whether the pro.
cession would leave him alone ia
The gloomy, ghost-ridden forest,

he could to overtake the party.
Presently one of the party, look
ing back, noticed the sled bouncing
up and down In a very light way,
rocking first one way and then
another. He waved the driver

There is today the same knoll,

Mrs. Jackson never returned to

days with her relative, Mrs. Mar

Her two boys, Hugh and Robert,
went to their uncle's, Jas. Craw-

been invited to make her home.

Of the Crawford mill, where Au-
drew jackson worked with his
uncle.
The descendants Of Mrs. Jack
sons sisters still live around the
old Waxhaw church. II one
branch of the family there has
been handed down from genera
tion to generation a red silk vest
that was worn by a cousin when
Andrew Jackson was elected
president. For - years it has
been treasured in the family, and
on election days the proud owner
unwraps this quaint old silk vest,
brings it forth like an armor to
battle, and sweays by the shades
of his Illustrious relative that
Democracy is immortal, and that
the posscssor Of this valuable
heirloom must never be anything
less than a Jacksonian Demo
crat.
Still the people love to talk Of
the past, they love to show you
the old church at Waxhaw, the
old mill posts where young Andy
assisted his uncle, the little for
seken mound Of brick and NOR
tar whore Jackson was born.
They talk of revolutionary times,
how an old veteran returning
from Charleston told of the death
and burial of Mrs. Jackson. They
talk of Andrews boyhood ; how
be thrashed his cousin while on a
visit to his uncle who lived near
Charlotte, n. c., and how his
cousin never forgave him, and
would never vote for him, giving
as HE reason that Andrew was 8

ARTS AND CRAFTS EXHIBIT
IN ITS SECOND WEEK
Collection of Candlesticks by Brandt
Steele and Mrs. JOnes's Etchings
Notable Features of Display.

The third annual arts and crafts ex-
hibit Of the Sketching Club is now in it's
second week and will continue until Dec
10. The exhibit is held in the Starr Piano
rooms, which were generously offered for
the purpose. and the quaint and beautiful
articles of exquisite handwork are ar
ranged to the best advantage.
A number of things have been added to
the exhibit since it's opening and as all
the articles which are sold are left with
the club until the close. the showing is a
large one. 1t is by far the best exhibit yet
made by the club. Among the articles
which have been added are a number of
the wonderfully beautiful tiles from the
Grueby pottery. The tiles have a soft and
velvety finish and the designs are the
essence OF artistic simplicity.
An interesting showing is the small COL
lection of candlesticks designed and made
by Brandt Steele. of this city. The candle
sticks are of gray metal and their graceful
lines are very beautiful. Some of the ad-
ditions to the pieces of old metal and china
are pewter tankard of 1904, Russian tea
caddy of lacquer, with two caddies of metal
side by side within, and the quaintest of old
blue and white pitchers with manor
house and park view, stained by mulled
cider.
A spread of Mexican drawnwork. an en-
tire gown of sheerest lines, with bodice,
bands of the lovely drawnwork, and yards
of insertion and fiouncing with the same
decoration. the whole thing price marked
only SIS; and. beside numbeS of smaller
pieces. collars, handkerchiefs, doiies and
centerpieces, are things to tempt the
woman who loves pretty things.
An especially notable part of the exhibit
are the etchings done by Mrs. Jaques, of
Chicago. The pictures are exceptionally
fine examples of the etcher's art and some
of them have an unusual touch in the way
of a bit Of color. One or two Of the scenes
are from the streets of noisy, dusty Chi
cago, Mrs. Jaquess home city. and under
her artist pen the prosaic town offers as
picturesque bits of composition as any old
world city.
Some remarkable pieces of work in paper
are the tiny bonbon boxes done by an In
dianapolis woman, who uses her medium In
a rarely artistic way. The designs are ex-
tremely effective and the dainty little boxes
| which sell for the small sum of 81 cents
would prove the dantiest of holiday re.
membranes. All the articles on display
| are for sale and though the prices asked
are somewhat in advance of the prices OF
machine-made articles. they are exceed.
ingly reasonable considering the artistic
/ merit of the things.
