HERO OF FAMINE OF 1s45
William Davie, One of The Saviours
Of South Carolina in Famine
Just Before Mexican War, For
gotten BY Historians. An Ac.
count Of His Goodness

Off the road between Harmony
and the town of Fort Lawn, lies the
home of the late General William
Richardson Davie, noted figure of
Revolutionary war times, who
served his country and state along
with Thomas Sumter and Frances
Marion. The general died in 1904
and lies buried near the home. An
interesting story is told of his son,
the late William Davie, in his day
one of the wealthiest and most in
fluential citizens in South Caro-
lima. In 1s45 or at the time the
Texas war was in full swing, and
shortly before the outbreak of the
Mexican war, North and South
Carolina faced a famine. The crops
were a failure, in the barns there
was room to spare and many hard
working father was filled with
anxious care lest his children want
for bread. William Davie, however,
had plenty. possessed of broad
lands which were always titled with
care, he had for years been laying
up thousands and thousands of
bushels of corn. In fact, he was the
only farmer in all the countryside
who did have enough and to spare.
People flocked to him from scores
of miles around to buy corn. Some
who came had no money but wanted
corn anyway. 1t made no difference
to William Davie. To all who came
to him for bread that bread was
freely given. If they had money ne
sold them corn at fair price. If
they had none it was all the same.
The story is that there was an at
tempt on the part of some to try to
speculate in Davies corn. That IS,
certain Shylocks undertook to buy
Davies corn at Davies price and
then sell it at their starving fellow
men at great profit. Upon being
advised of their procedure Davie
promptly cut off their supply. Thus
this man kept hundreds of his fell
lows from starving to death. No
high and mighty granite shaft
marks the last resting place of this
noble man who until the day of his
death was held in the highest re-
spect and esteem by hundreds of
people. In the history books of
South Carolina there is no photo
graph and mention of William
Davie, one of the Saviours of South
Carolina in 1845. His descendants
live in Texas.-Yorkville Enquirer.

That is what is done in so-called CIV

Abbeville? Why go away from home

GOING. TO THE MOUNTAINS.

This is the season when most peo-
pie who do not have enough sense 20
remain at home go to the mountains
says Judge William PinHney Greene
in the last number of The Press and
Banner. He left his happy home on
Spartanburg Street at ADbeville and
went to Waynesville and does not ap-
pear to have enjoyed himself that
any one could discover from what he
has written about his experiences and
observations. He stood UP IN crowd
ed trains from Waterloo, Laurens
County, S. C. to Waynesv;iie, Hay
wood County, N. c., distance of
about two hundred miles and when
he got tired standing on one foot ne
changed feet, and when ne got there
he found that there was nothing to
TO "but sit around" although he ad-
m;ts that the mountains about
Waynesville are comfortable to look
upon after ycu get there" Among
ether things, he found: 'Waynesvillc
u 50 striking as business place,
did not see many South Carolinians
there, attended services al the Metho-
dist Church on Sunday and appar-
emily forgot the text, found little at
the hotels for the people to amuse
themselves at except dancing and
playing cards, except, of course, eat
ing ard sleeping and sleeping and eat

I'M never saw 50 many well-fei1
women in one lot in my life" walk
ed down Pigeon Street so as to feel
at home to see how the swells behave
lust as they do on Greenville Street
ir Abbeville"-he might have added
cor on South Church Street in Spar
tanburg." But this was not all that
Judge Greene saw and sensed at
Waynesville, as this choice DIT from
the story of his wanderings will show
"The mountaineers have learned
of the high cost of living and they
are taking care of themselves. The
people who did the buying told US
that they were able to order apples
from Virginia for less than tney
could be bought for from the or
chards about their own town. They
sell chickens by the pound up there,
Afeathers and all, and feed them on
heavy diet at that, and a man won't
work for less than about forty dol
lars a day with time and half for
overtime. We saw wagon selling
peaches at IS cents per peck and he
was doing a killing business. The
blackberries are just now getting
ripe and the mountains are covered
with huckleberries, but the hotels get
none of these, but prefer to buy
things from elsewhere because the
prices are cheaper, we suppose.
But that is the way with summer
hotels, speaking generally. The sea
son is short, the expenses of running
resorts are heavy and the people who
flock to these places are "easy." VIII!
shouldn't the people in the noun
tains sell their chickens by the poune

THIS is TODAY

1t is 10 laugh! The printer goes
into the cigar store lays down Is
cents fer a five cents cigar and
smiles; he goes to the boot shop
and gives up fifteen simoleons for
a pair of five-buck kicks and re-
ioices with the store man over his
prosperity; to the druggist he
hands dollar for a bottle OF
psychic that he formerly bought for
So cents and makes good by adding
SO cents to the outlay as payment
of 25 cents worth of chocolates to
make the physic necessity, he
pays the grocer and the butcher two
prices and registers appreciation; he
gives the banker per cent for 4
per cent money and recognizes that
in unnatural times one must expect
unantural charges; he pays the
garage man, the picture show man,
the drayman, and the railroad their
increased prices without kick, but
when any of these intelligent and
progressive business men desire a
handful of letterheads they are
shocked at the. continual upward
trend in the prices of printing. We
might offer these gentlemen num-
Der of valid reasons for higher
printing costs in addition to the
ones that they already know to be
legitimate, but do not think it
necessary to go into business de-
tails to them any more than we eX-
pect them to do this for us. How
eer, we will to them that tthe
day when the country printer owed
everyone in the community AMI
was dependent upon their charity
for his support the day when he
walked in fear of his banker and
approached his grocer in confusion
is with all Offices of any conse-
quence thing of the past. To be a
successful newspaper man requires
nearly as much talent as it takes to
successfully manage soda fountain
and should be worthy of as much re-
as is expected by the
proprietor of pool palace. In adj
dition to this a successful newspaper
man must have sufficient literary
ability to correct the copy of l"en
who wish commercial printing so rs
to make it intelligent in rs con-
struction. He must work more hours
than any other man in the business
in the village and he must pay MS
employees higher wages than any
other commercial enterprise il the
place and these are but few of the
reasons why it costs more to have
printing done in these days of al
vanced costs of everything than it
did when shoes were selling for
$3.50, wheat for 60 cents and
Horseshoe" at As cents per pound.
The fact that we dare write and
publish these truths is proof pos
tive that in some Offices at least
fear and trembling have been supc"-
seded by that knowledge of actual
value which makes for commercial
ard intellectual independence

DEATH OF ]. w. JELLEMA
(Contributed.)

(COuCrlDuCeu.)
On Sunday, Jan. IL, at 2:30 o'clock
in the afternoon, Mr.. John W. Jel-
lena, of Hull, died in the Worrell hos
pital at Rochester, MINI. He was
taken to Rochester arriving at the
Mayo Clinic Dec. LIST. After many
examinations, lasting three weeks, the
doctors suspected a tumor on the
brain. Tests were made to ascertain
the cause of his ailment and every in
dication pointed to this dreaded dis
ease. He died suddenly and unexpect-
ed as he seemed to have greatly i'm
proved two days before.
His life was an open book and above
all else he was a true Christian. To
know him was to love him. Since
the death of his wife in May, 1914, he
repeatedly voiced his desire and read
mess to depart and be with Christ,
although he was satisfied at all times,
!, to bear his cross, knowing and trust
ing that he would receive sufficient
strength to bear it, from above.
| He leaves to mourn his loss, three
sons, William, of Strasburg, Albert
and Leonard, of Hull, and Mrs. G.
Holkeboer, of Hague, N. Oak.
The remains were shipped direct
from Rochester to Holland Mich, (at
his request) for burial. Funeral SER
vices were held from Prospect Park,
