Petersburg Celebrities

Petersburg has been a stage for
famous folk of three centuries, not
ably Captain John Smith, Pocahon-
tas, Daniel Boone, Washington, La
fayette, Aaron Burr, Jefferson Davis,
Lincoln and Lee.
Petersburg might claim fame on
the score of being the town where
George Washington is known to have
departed from his policy OF truth
fulness at any price.
The story Is that Washington was
being feted at the Golden Ball tav-
ern in Petersburg. He was weary
of the attention which his going and
coming everywhere attracted, and
he purposely announced his hour of
leaving town in way which would
| mislead the people bent on doing
him honor.
He said of the incident: Having
suffered very much by the dust yes
| terday. and finding that parties OF
! horses and number of other gem
tlemen were intending to attend me
part of the way today, l caused their
| inquiries respecting the time of my
| setting out to be answered that
should endeavor to do It before
O'Clock, but did it little after s, by
| which means 1 avoided the incon-
venience above mentioned"
Petersburg has a fund of stories
about famous Americans. Being to-
| day q busy center of the peanut
| trunk and tobacco industries its in
/ terests focus on trade. But a CEN
tury and more ago 1t was a cosmo-
politan type of city, one of the most

PETERSBURG, Va, Feb. S.-A
visit to a city like Petersburg sug-
gests the idea that some day munic-
ipal governments may create city
historians. Such an official would
be charged with the duties of pre-
serving old landmarks, setting right
disputed points of tradition, estab-
fishing antiquarian museums. and in
spring in the city regard for its
picturesque past.
Cities are slowly realizing that
| their history has commercial value.
| 1t would be difficult to show in dol
! lars and cents how city profits by
exploiting its history, but such is
the belief of some matter -of-fact city
boosters. 1t is known, for instance,
that tourists, especially automobile
travellers, who stop in a town over
night ask what there is to see. If
they find a famous old home kept az
it was a century or more ago, fur
nished with relics from Indian or
colonial days, and if they hear an
anecdote connecting the place with
some character in history, they get
vivid glimpse into the story of the
city. The city takes on personality.
Just as a person met once Is often
remembered by some striking asso-
citation, so a city may be remembered
or forgotten.
Historic sightseeing has long been
a feature of Washington and few
other places with many visitors. But
increasing travel, especially by auto
| mobile, is bringing tourists into the
| towns that have had fewer causual
visitors. These towns are finding
| that the public expects them to be
| interesting in some fashion. Places
| that have historic pasts are begin
| ing to dust themselves off and put
| them in shape for the enjoyment OF
| strangers.
| This sort Of city improvement is
| being made slowly because it takes
money, and local governments rarely
| have any funds for essentials,
| Most of the work to preserve anti
| quities is being done by organiza.
| tions.
| Many fine old colonial buildings
| decay and the history associated
with them becomes vague and mac
| curate. 1t is sad fact that local
| history, with its wealth of quaint
| stories, often remains oral tradition.
| Delving into the lore of the past has
| always been and still is, mainly
| labor of love with very little mater
| iaI reward. The scholar who is sut-
! ficiently interested in his home town
! to tap the memories of oldest inhab-
| itants and to pore over dusty records
and books in antique English print
| gets very little out of his work ex-
cept the occasional thrill of dig
| ging out a long lost fact. Histories
! Of single communities are not often
| best sellers.
| The result is that towns with
unique backgrounds are waking up
! to find their most valuable souve-
Mrs of the past are lost, destroyed,
| or forgotten.
| All of this is recalled in Petersburg
! because Petersburg is a gold mine
| of the picturesque, partly appreciat-
ed, and as everywhere else, partly

The Christian King

With the death of Sekhome Khama
became king, though he had a bitter
contest with a younger brother who
had been urged by the old chief to
wrest the throne from the natural
heir.
At the very risk of his W life
Khama, during his first years as king,
succeeded in establishing a number of
measures that completely changed the
whole life of his people. First he for
bade witchcraft and banished the
witch doctors.\ The people momen-
tarily expected the gods to punish
them and the wonder grew as nc
calamity followed. Then he put an
end to the practice of killing weak
and deformed babies. He stopped the
