Eighth Graders
Poetry Writers
PORTERDALE — The eighth
grade history classes at Porter
dale Junior High School have
been studying the War Between
the States in American History.
Students were asked to con
sider themselves Southern poets
and write poems with a view to
ward upholding and defending the
actions of South Carolina in be
ing the first state to secede from
the Union.
Evidence of the imagination
and talent as poets possessed by
eighth grade students are some of
the poems published below:
South Carolina
South Carolina - The Great!
We know your future's at stake.
Why listen to Lincoln, the
Might?
Go steal away into the night.
Lincoln says slaying is sin.
So why should Carolina! stay in?
We listen to him in doubt
We’ll pet away; we’ll get out.
Someday we may return,
Then our affairs will be of con-
cern
We think slaving is not a crime
Oh, Lincoln, you’ll learn in time.,
ANNIE MAE MASK
South Carolina's Right io Fight
We of Carolina hate this union
sto tight,
Thus we will fight with all our
might
To win our freedom in this
world,
And. never be completely furled.
We will fight until the end,
And try our best to defend
The states which hold out for
their rights
Victories - the hope which lies
in sight.
QUINTON BOYD
e»South Carolina Secedes
Oh yes, South Carolina has
gone afar,
Taking along her own white star
She has asked no pity from her
I friends, or you,
| Because she did what was best
to do.
If slavery she could not keep,
I It would be money thrown in the
I deep
The land was rich, but laborers
were few,
! And of freeing the slaves she
' took a dim view.
Carolina has left in passion
and pride,
' A hot headed sister, long by the
Union’s side.
She has torn her own star from
the firmaments glow.
i She has turned on her brothers
| the fate of a foe.

Tribute Paid
Jeff Stewart
By MISS IRENE HARVEY
We wish to offer a tribute of
love and respect to the memory
of T. J. (Jeff) Stewart who went
to be with Jesus January 28,
1953. He was the spn of the late
J. C. Stewart and Janie Harvey
Stewart.
Since young manhood he had
been a faithful and loyal mem
ber of Hopewell ‘A. R. Presby
terian Church. For a number of
years he served as deacon, Sun
day School teacher, superinten
dent, clerk of session, and had
been an elder for many years
where his counsel was valuable.
A veteran of World War I, Jeff
was in many ways a man among
men. He was ready as best he
could to strengthen the hands of
his pastor in the advancement of
the cause of Christ. His heart was
sympathetic, his hand was ready,
in his thinking many fruitful
plans had their origin. His in
terest in the work was wider
than the local congregation. He
[ contributed liberally to various
' causes.
He was a man among men in
the community. He was interest
ed in his fellowmen. He was
ready to lend a helping hand to
those in need. He was a wel
come visitor by the sick bed.
There were those who sought his
helpful counsel and prayers in
their troubles.
He was a man among men in
the business world. He had the
ability to smooth out the rough
places that sometimes come
through the varied dispositions
of the men and women. They
knew he was interested in their
poral welfare, but their Spiritual
welfare as well.
He was a man among men be
cause of the spirit that was in
him. He put emphasis on cheer
fulness. He had cast his care upon
his Lord and Saviour.
He will be truly and sincerely
missed by his friends and loved
ones and by his church. The place
he held in our hearts and af
fections cannot be filled by an
other. We grieve for our own
loss, but sorrow not as those who
have no hope. We shall see him
gain in the morning.
“To fold my hands a little
while in sleep.
A brief night, through, and wait
with quiet breath,
The coming of the morning,
and to keep
Quite calm and still, is that
what we call death?
