...... ............ ...... Name Origins Preserved in USC Journal When the inebriated old gentle man came to, it was raining and he had fallen from his horse into a side-of-the-road ditch. The pangs of remorse he suffered were dou bled when, looking up, he saw a large frog croaking on the hank above him: "By gum, this is the lowest I've ever been; why, I ain't even up to frog level!" After that he took the pledge, and the place of his awakening was known as Frog Level-that is, until the more dignified and less picturesque citi zens changed the little upcountry town's name to Prosperity. Now, that is primarily a tall tale of the purely concocted va riety, and not among those in cluded in the university's latest journal to begin publication. But NAMES IN SOUTH CAROLINA, "Published Sporadically by the De partment of English," does include more nearly authenticated stories of the origins of such interesting names as Rum Gully, Devil's El bow, The Said Lands, Scapo Swamp, The Buckstand, and The Glebe-all names of sections in various parts of the state. The purpose of this newv publica tion is well summed up in an ex cerpt from "Preserving Old Land marks," the introductory article of the first issue: "In order to pre serve the origins of these old landmarks, this little publication wvill discuss from time to time odd and interesting names found in South Carolina. The legend or his tory behind these is often delight ful and instructive. Although the accounts have been embellished somewhat through the years, this tendency to gild the lily reveals in itself a great deal about our hardy forebears." Editor of NAMES IN SOUTH CAROLINA is Professor Claude H. Neuffer, and his contributing editors include Dr. Havilah Bab cock, Dean Emeritus Francis W. Bradley, Attorney Pierre F. La Borde, President Donald Russell, Dr. Archie R. Eillis will speak to the student body tonight in the Law Federation building at 7:30. The talk is being sponsored by the Jnter-Varsity Christian Fellowship. Dr. -Ellis is a graduate of ennan University and tihe Southern The. logisal Serninary in Louisville, Ky.
