Story Of My Old Kentucky Home Something About the Author of a Fa mous Song Which Continues Fopular Even Now. (By Mrs. Zero Peeler, Waco.) The song “My Old Kentucky Home” was written by Stephen Collins Fos ter, a resident of Pennsylvania, while he and his sister were on a visit to Judge John Rowan, a short distance east of Bardstown. One beautiful morning, while the slaves were at work in the cornfield, and the sun was shining wih a mighty splendor on the waving grass first giving it the color of a light red, then changing it to a golden hue they were seated upon a bench in front of the Rowan home stead, two young people a brother and a sister. High up in the top of a tree was a mocking bird warbling its sweet notes. Over in the hidden recesses of a small brush the thrush’s mellow | song could be heard. A number of small negro children were playing not far away. When Foster had finished the first verse of the song, his sister took it from his hand and sang in a sweet mellow voice: The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home, 'Tin summer the darkies are gay. The corn tops ripe and the meadows ] all in bloom; While the birds make music all the day. The young folks roll on the title cabin flpor; All merry all happy and bright; bye and bve hard times comes a knp<jkjr\g at the door Then mv old Kentucky home good night. When she finished the first verse the mocking bird descended to a lower branch. The fea'hery songster drew his head to one side, and appeared to be completely enraptured at the won derful voice of the sweet singer. When ! the last sweet note died away upon, the air her fond brother sang in a deep bass voice: Weep no more, my lady, oh, weep no more today; We will fine one song for the old Kentucky home, For the old Kentucky home far way. The negroes had laid down their hoes and rakes, the little to'fs had plac ed themselves behind the large, shel- i tering trees, while tha old black wo-j men were peeping,around the corner of the house. The faithful old house! dog ne\*rr took his eyes o<T the young : singers. Everything was still, not even | the stirring of the leaves seemed to] break the wonderful silence. Again the brother and sister took hold of the re maining notes, and sang in sweet ac cents. They hunt no more for the 'possum and the coon On the meadow, the hill and the shore They sing nemore by the glimmer' of title moon; On 'he bench by the old cabin door.. The day goes by like a shadow o’er the heart With sorrow where all was delight*/ The time has come when the dark-j ies have to part, Then mv old Kentucky home, good night. The head must bow and the back will have to bend. Wherever the darkies may go; A few nmro days and the trouble all will end, In the field where the sugar canes grow A few more days for to tote the] weary load: No matter; 'twill never be light, A few more days till we totter on the*' road Then mv pld Kentucky home gqpd night. As the song was finished tears flow ed down the old people’s checks. The r hildren crept from their hiding plac es behind the trees, their faces wrea'hed in smiles, the mock ing bird and th" thrush, sough* their i homes in the thickpt, while the old I house dog lay basking in the sun. Southern Railway Advertises County Cleveland County (Jets Publicity Along With South in General in South ern Field Magazine. Agricultural Cleveland county again conies in for some publicity, this time through the Development Serv ice of the Southern railway. This rail way system, which covers the entire 'smith, issues a ma"azine known as \ “The Southern Field” devoted to the unbuilding of the southern section of j ♦ he United Stntes. Different phases of the South that would attract outsiders are portrayed in successive issues, j runeing from resorts to manufacture and farming. The latest issue was de voted to the agricultural South and covered the many phases of farm de velopment and opportunity. Among the photographs carried along with a story telling of southern pasture and forage crops was a Clev eland county farm scene, showing a large number of hogs grazing on a rape pasture in this county. In the background of the picture was County agent Lnwrence and a group of farm ers. The magazine is scattered over the entire country. everywhere the Southern goes, and the boost is a good one for the county. JUDGE YATES WEBB Charlotte News. Judge Edwin Yates Wohh, Federal jurist of the Western North Carolina district, declared in his charge to the grand jury in United States court here Monday that ho wouldn’t give 15 cents for North Carolina’s great sys tem of highways if the state were to return to the days of the saloon. Judge Wehb is a saunch prohibi tionist. He served in congress during the days when liquor had not been so universally outlawed in this nation and he was one of the leaders in the fight to banish the saloon from the street corners of America. He is thoroughly familiar wth the intricate ramifications of the Federal statute known as the Volstead Act, for he has always been an ardent supporter of all measures looking toward the out lawing of liquor and in his legal study Judge Webb has examined the case of King Alcohol from every angle. “I have no patience with the man who says he is for prohibition, but! that ‘prohibition does not prohibit.’ j Such an argument is silly. You might j as well do nothing about murder or1 history there have hern laws against these crimes, hut they are still being committed." Those nre tfio words of Judge Webb in his charge Monday. They very concisely give the argu ment advanced by many against na tional prohibition and they very clear ly contain the answer to that argu ment. Prohibition has come to stay, the judge told the Federal jurymen. It is accomplishing result^ every day, North Carolina’s recent unparalleled progress may be traced to it, to some extent, at least. .Judge Webb is a great judge. He is both just and merciful. To the offen der who has faced the court for the first time for violation of the liquor law he is very lenient; of the man who Comes before him a second time on such a charge he exacts the full pen alty. Charlotte citizens of this Federal ju dicial district are squarely behind Judge Webb in his enforcement of the law; especially that touching upon vi ilations of the Volstead act, and they are confident that if all our jurists upheld the law in the same way, there would be less of this "pro. hibition-does-not-prohibit” argument. Mr. D. A. Beam and son Edwin mo tored to Tennessee yesterday to pur chase a car of cattle and hogs.
