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.
