TIA POMARIA
At this season of the year I like
to get up early in the morning and
feook up III and take a drive through
the country, that is if I have any spseific
object in view. I am not much
on joy riding, but it is nice to take a
country trip early in the morning
if you are doing something besides
just burning gasoline. Well, last
Saturday morning was one of those
mornings when I felt that I had business
around by Pomaria and Prosperity,
and I wanted to be home by
10 o'clock, so I hooked up at 6 o ciock
and with my mascot we drove first
down to the home of Mr. G. L. Sease,
fcut we were too late for breakfast.
-I tad not notified them I was coming
and then I was scheduled for breakfast
at Pomaria. Xof, if the editor or
tfce Rock Hill Herald will read this
"he will not brag so much about that
*ig watermelon. Mother Sease is one
of tfce sweetest ana wai nvuca m
^ ibis ccamtry, and Uncle Luke is one
?f tfcose farmers who lives at home,
and they together know how to care
tbe fcest country hams one ever ate.
"Wfey, tfee Smithfield hams of -Virginia
can not excel or eren compare witii
~tiie ones you get here. Uncle Luke
said it I had come down sooner like a
go?d child should have done, I couid
have bad an. abundance of fine peaches
aad apples, but that they were
a early all gone. At any rate he went
at and put a half bushel of apples J
is tie car. An<l I got a forty pound j
fee&a that had been cured for two
years and a 20 pound bucket of home
raised lard. How does that touch
you, Rock Hill Record?
Y?e drove on down to Pomaria ana
got there in time for breakfast, which
I fcad at the home of Mr. J. P. Setzler,
, v,' 7" L> " ' *..! '* '** ' " . ?.
end tiie fine country ham and fisn
and other good things made you feel
ife&t it was worth while to lire. Mr.
Betzier bad the misfortune to lose
tat* iome by fire some two years ago,
* ad ie is just completing a new hosis.
dLad it is one of the handsome homes
?( the county and has all the modern
conveniences, with hot and cold water
fet every room and electric lights a ad
sewerage, all the conveniences of the
eity. It was planned by Mrs. Setzler
and is very conveniently arranged.
Some of tiieir friends gave them walstat
trees and maple trees and hard
wood trees and they had them cut
into lumber and the floors and wood
ft?i<4fcic.2s are of hard wood in all cC
tie rooms. They cut 1100 feet of
Jwatoer from one walnut tree. Mrs.
Sataier takes care of the traveling
Men wfco come that way, and I bad
feeard that they would frequently
make it convenient and go out of their
way to spend the night here and to
take'meals, and they show good judgment
by so doing. The rooms ar$ delightful
a-nd the meals make you want
to eooae again to get another. The
"* ?-* ftimiched bv the Delco
wgms
lighting system and once the plant is
iBetalled the cost inconsiderable,
aed it does not cost a great deal to
is*t*21.
One of the nicest roads in the country
is the old Pomaria road and it
is ?oaie miles nearc - Pomara than
via Prosperity. It is . o narrow and
there are some ditches along the side
that are dangerous, and if an axle
or tfce steering geer should get of or-j
.
'* - cu-J ah tVia au-!
der, while passing me rwu *
i
tomobile would be in trenches such,
as tliey hare in France, but taken a!-|
together as roads go in this county it
is at the present time a pretty fair)
r?ad. If it could just have an appli-l
cation of the drag just now as I am
"writing this after the rain, then when
4t dried out it would be all right.
T *?~ to the good town
X UIV1C uu ?
of Pomaria and after attending to j
tke few little matters of business
Wtich took us to that section and
getting a nice piece of steak from a
fat young country beef that Walter
Rieliarisen was dispensing and an !*-:
[ vitaticn from h:rn to step a; h!s j
j
brother's, Mr. Albert RichaidsonJ
where all the Riehardsons of that sec- 1
tion were to assemble for a familv re- ]
!
union and take a barbecue dinner j 1
with them. I started for home via thej
Prosperity and Jolly Street road. I! ]
l
j was sorry I did not have time to re-j 1
1 I ,
main over for dinner with my friends j ]
the Richardsons, because the porkers']
on the pit as we drove by did loolc i <
tempting and I know I would have I i
enjoyed the day. t

The night before taking this trip I j i
was talking to Prof. D. L. Wedaman I
ol some other matters and I told him J
I was coming down the next morning j s
and he invited me to stop and he |t
*
would put a nice watermelon in the' *
, I c
: car. Of course the invitation was ac-; k
i h
cepted and he had a fine one weigh-; u
ir.g some thirty pounds. It reminded
me of the days long ago when my:
father and mother lived in this com-1 a
munity and we would go from preach-!
ing at St. Pauls to Uncle Dave Weil-! E
aman's for dinner and the good things! n'
they would have to eat and the tine'
watermelons they would cut out >n!
j S
the yard after the dinner hour. And f
! tc
at Uacle Jobn Riser's who lived close ;
I
by. Thase were good old people antr j
fi
they always had plenty of good things j

< y\
sample of some home made cheese j
i a
which was fine. Just as good and a!
i Jx
little better than the cheese you buy!
<L
and she said she made it herself and,
1 C
that it was not much trouble to make. |
It was real cream cheese.

As we were driving along approach- p
Q

we saw some one waving us down ans
we thought maybe there was trouble .
but it was Julius Epting who lives | ^
i there', and he said lie just wanted ?
I . . c

I ntng) and to Dr. Cromer (he said j
Eea Crbnier) that if they were zo j t
strongely in faror of war to get out .
and'shoulder a musket and lead the t
boys and that he would go along with
them, but he wag just a little bit tired f

he recalled some instances of tie ,

lese majeate to pass this on at the re- j t

remember that the speakers and or- j t

A Tin I' TO CAMP
A linotype machine and an automobile
have many characteristics in coranon.
Certainly there are two. When
the machine runs good and is in good
working order there is no nicer or
prettier machine made. The same is
:rue of an automobile. When it runs
it is a beauty and moves so smoothly,
but when it is dead it is the deadest
thing in the world. And neither
naehine is to blame per se. When
:hey get out of gear or adjustment all
:kat is needed is the proper adjustnent
and off they go again.
For the past few days we have had
^^ Vwl r\ + a lin/vfrrwi Kllf" T
rtJUie HUUU1C mm IUC 1U1UIuuv ..
rust that it is going all right now.
Lnd old III got in the bad a little on
Sunday returning from Greenville,
'lit it was no fault of hers. The feed
ipe for the gasoline to tre engine got
lied up with debris and no gas, or
t least not a sufficient quantity, could
>f>d and therefore, the engine could
ot go round. But she is all right
ow als).
I decided to take a trip to Camp
eveir on Sunday to see my boy, airl
) take a look at his quarters an.1
se how the camp looked. I asked my
*iend, B. B. Leitzsey, to go with me
nd told him I wanted to start about!
o'clock so as to drive while the ac-:
losphere was pleasant and oracmg. |
i
fe had to come in from the country
rki just as the toNvn clock struck 4
e drove up with his son, Barney, ani
bout half past 4 we were in the road,
karley West also went along and the
lascot, a pretty good load, but we
aa-de the trip to Greenville - by half
>ast eight and had breakfast at the
Htaray.
The road from Newberry to Kinards
?. fairiv 2ood but from there to
fountain Inn, all through Laurens
:ounty,: it is worse than I have ever
;een it. From Fountain Inn to Greenrille,
which is part of Greenville oouny,
it is the best road I have found
n the State- Nothing to do but lei
;he wheels go round. Except when
rou pass through one of the towns.
The only ciricism I would make of
Jie road is that it is possibly a Utile
too high ia the -centre, but the?
lay that it is necessary to build them
iiat way so that water will not stand
ii the middle of the road. All the
irains and tie only creek hare perffialent
cement culverts and with juzt
i little attention this will be a good
voad for years to come. I understand
hat with the million dollar bond issue
jood roads like this are being built
ill over the county. The people
x>uld make no better investment. And
[ noticed that on the roa^l froEa
Greenville to the camp there has beea
>uilt several miles of cement road, i
>hould think that would be too-.es>
>ensive. In. fact, I rather, drive OT&f
:he other road. It seems to me thai,
n the little towns like Simpsonriiie
;hat the ioad should have been buiit
'ighp on through the town just as it
&ere was no town there. The propjrty
in the town pays its part of tlio
:ax for the road just as the other
1 1
property, and it aoea uvt ?xnt u?**
tust to skip orer two miles just ??:ause
theer happens tote a little incorporated.
town.
Hie crops from Newberry- all ttia
ray up are ?s fine as could be desired,
rhe cotton looks good and the corn
s plentiful and fine. If nothing corn's
along to destroy the crops the fa/ner3
of this section will surely reap
in abundant harvest.
Bv the way, Laurens has just toted
i big bond issue for roads and I ex)ect
before very long that county will
rovo ?nmfl finp. roads also, because
bey har* a county supervisor ip
here who knows how to build roads,
ie can not start too soon.
We reached the camp about 10
>'clock and soon found the boy at
lis tent busy with his bookkeeping,
is I believe it is the duty of the '*top"
Sergeant, as they call him, to keep
he records of the company. He Is
ooking well and says that he lik'?s
he job of being a soldier. Weil,
iince he is at the job I am glad that
ie likes it. Most of the boys had gone
o the city, as they have permission
o be absent on Sunday until about
i
i G o'clock. "\Vc did see a fe;v oi til'
Newberry boys who are in this com|
pany. Chappell and Cromer and twc
; Longs and maybe some other?. They
1 are all looking remarkably well and
, healthy and robust and tough. I
mean hardened. They say they ha 1
; some work to do in digging stumps
1 and cutting down trees and grading
! in order to get the grounds in good
j
shape, and there is much work yet
to be done. There was no evidence
of Sunday about the grounds. Men
i were digging trenches and laying
pipes, and the sort drink establishments
and cigar stores were doing a
good business. Teams wsre hauling
lumber and men unloading cars and
the heavy trucks were going back and
forth between the camp and the city.
Well. I reckon that is war, and when
the boys set over to France and in
the trenches they will not even kno?v
when the "Sabbath day" comes "to
keep it holy." There is a Y. M. C. A.
tent - on the grounds and the boys
were around it and there was geod
order and gentlemanly bearing in
evidence everywhere. I had a very
pleasant and satisfactory talk . with
(Captain Vandirer of Co. K. in which
my boy is. I was pleased to know
that Captain Vandirer held the boy
in sucb high esteem and to hear him
speak so well of him. I did not get
to see Col. McCully. He was not at
oamp.
i
We drove back into the city about
1 o'clock and had lunch at the restaurant
and dro^e around town and
made a call at the Greenville News
offilee, but all the force was observing
! the Sabbath. I wzs told that Editor
McKissick had gone off to the moun
| tains to cool off. Sorry I missed him.
' We had a pleasant visit to the Brown
brothers, Ned and Joe. They seem to
be doing well. And I called to see
my friend Dr. J. P. Carlisle. Green1
