Dollar Day In Anderson, S. C.
Electric City** Popular Sales Event
To Be Held Saturday,
August Ist.
Elsewhere in this issue appears a
notice to the effect that the popular
sales event known as Dollar Day is
to be held in Anderson on Saturday,
August Ist.
This is the eighth sale of its kind
and is held regularly as a semi-annual
event in the Electric City.
The success of Dollar Day in An
derson is attributed to the unusual
values that have been obtained
through each successive Dollar Day
held in the past. Its popularity con
tinues because of this special appeal
to the buying public and further be
cause of the good will that has been
brought about throughout this sec
tion.
Another worthlwhile feature in
connection with Dollar Day in Ander
son and one worthy of notice is the
fact that it is a co-operative sales
event in which as many as sixty An
derson firms have been known to par
ticipate. The merchants of Ander
son stage the event not from a profit
making standpoint but with the
thought that twice each year an ap
preciation should be shown the buy
ing public by offering unusual values
for a dollar. The response of the
public by attending this event by the
thousands is the best indication of
what the public thinks of Dollar Day
in Anderson.
The plnrL>£t holding Dollar Day on
Saturday is a new departure and is
expected to add even further to the
popularity of Dollar Day.

o
Old Carolina Negro
Mystifies People
With Sermons
Spartanburg, S. C.—South Caro
lina physicians are mystified over the
case of Major Perry, 90-year-old ne
gro living near Leesville, who
preaches eloquent sermons every
night while asleep and awakes next
morning unaware that he has been
expounding the gospel.
Thousands of South Carolinians
have gone to Perry’s humble home
in Saluda county to witness the
phenomenon of an ignorant negro
preaching sermons that would re
flect credit upon educated theolo
gians. Physicians have stood beside
Perry’s bedside and have listened to
his sermons many nights, but none
have been able to offer any explana
tion of the mystery.
Accurate Quotation!.
Perry quotes at length from va
rious chapters of the Bible, and
quotes them accurately, according to
those who have heard his sermons,
and yet is unable to read or write.
The old negro takes his text every
night after falling asleep, quoting
the chapter and verse of the Bible
from which he is to preach, and
Bible students declare he has never
erred in his quotations. He often
quotes lengthy passages from the
Bible, despite the fact that he has
never been able to read a line of
Scripture.
Physicians repeatedly have tried to
awaken the old negro in the midst
of his sermons, but no means has
yet been devised to arouse him un
til he awakens naturally in the morn
ing.
Some years ago Major Perry, ac
cording to members of his family, felt
that he had been “called to preach,”
but he would not enter the ministry
because he felt that his inability to
read would be an insurmountable
handicap. Subsequently, he repeat
edly declared he feared he had made
a mistake in not heeding the call.
Then he began preaching sermons
every night after falling asleep. Mem
bers of his family kept their secret
for a while, but eventually the news
leaked out and neighbors began com
ing to Perry’s home to hear the ser
mons. v
Confirmation. ‘
This week, newspapermen heard
the story, and J. Q. Holder, Green
ville, S. C., business man, went to
Perry’s home near Leesville to in
vestigate. He returned to report that
nothing had been exaggerated. He
was astounded, he said, to hear an
eloquent sermon preached by the
old exslave, while dozens of white
people and negroes stood in the room
and marveled at the phenomenon.
On one occasion, the old negro’s
bed was taken to a neighboring
church and a large congregation
listened with rapt attention to the
sermon, Mr. Holder reported.
When the old negro is awake he
is unable to quote accurately from
the Bible, and knows nothing of hav
ing preached during his sleep.
Residents of Saluda county are ar
ranging for noted scientists from
New York to come to Perry’s home
and conduct an investigation.

WHERE MACHINERY WAS NOT
WANTED
A little chap was offered a chance
to spend a week in the country, but
refused. Coaxing, pleading, argu
ing, promising of untold wonders
alike brought from him nothing but
the stubborn ultimatum: “No coun
try for me!”
“But why not? someone asked fi
nally.
“Because,” he responded, “they
have thrashin’ machines down there
an' it’s bad enough here where it’s
done by hand.”—The Lance.
o
UPSIDE DOWN
Mrs. Brown—“l admire Dr. Young
immediately. He is so persevering in
the face of difficulties that he al
ways reminds me of Patience sitting
on a monument.”
Mr. Brown—“ Yes; but what I am
becoming rather alarmed about is
the number of monuments sitting on
his patients.”—People’s Journal
(Glasgow.)
Idelle Harbin. They all enjoyed the
day and went away wishing Mrs.
Harbin many more happy birthdays.
