The brother Patrick Cunningham
located on the land which has just
been sold by the two Cunningham
heirs and in time became deputy
surveyor general of the colony and
is said to have received as compen
sation for his services many -thous
ands of acres of land-iit::1ahe~ almost
wilderness areas of the Piedmont
section.
Both_ the two brothers, Patrick
and Robert Cunningham, became To
ries during the Revolution but did
not take an active part in the fight
ing after the Revolution got under
way. Their cousin, Capt. William
(“Bloody Bill”) Cunningham, how
ever, was one of the leaders of the
former bill left the door
open for injunctions against labor by
private employers. It no longer does
that.

In connection with the labor ques
tion, those interested here are full
of conjecture on the metamorphosis
which has taken place in the think
ing of Senator Ball of Minnesota. He
came here, a former newspaper writ
er, as a liberal and a disciple of for
mer Governor Harold Stassen of
Minnesota. He was considered a
champion of labor. He now is' foster
ing the most radical of ail punitive
labor measures to outlaw the closed
shop, to provide for compulsory lim
itation in industry-wide bargaining
and other features distasteful to la
bor. And he is being continually
needled on the floor of the senate
by the liberal bloc, headed by Sena-

He did not attempt to return to hisj The outlook for early farm legis-

the Bermudas where he is said to legislation may b& postponed until
havd 1 spent the rest o«f~his life. An- late in the summer. There is even
some likelihood that it may even go
over until next year. There are sev
eral reasons for this picture of the
agricultural situation. One is that
the farm groups themselves are not
united on just what they want on
production control and support pric
es, and although Secretary Clinton
Anderson recently appeared before
both senate and house agricultural
committees to urge action now, his
plea fell on deaf ears. The agricul
tural secretary wants early action |
because he feels the .farmers should
know now what .they can expect in
price support for next year’s crop
and in production control for the
reason that much of the 1948 crop
will not be marketed until after pres
ent price support expire! 1 on Janu--
ary 1, 1949. U [
He further wanted congressional
authority, specific authority, for his
current production control operations
which he does not now have.. But the
Republicans are leaving it up to the
secretary to provide his own stop
gap program until new legislation
comes along. They claim that to open
discussions on a new program at this
time' might be disturbing to farmers
in the current year’s planning and
might cause some curtailment in pro
duction on the outside chance that
price controls will be cut. And then
there are the 1948 elections, which
play a role in this as in every other
piece of legislation which cofhes be
fore this congress. i
With the sifciation as it is today,
in good shape, and likely to last the
rest of this year, the Republicans,
according to well informed sources,
other tradition is that after some
years he joined members of his
family on the coast of Georgia.
The handsome old home, “Rose-
mont,” was built by Patrick Cun
ningham but it was enlarged and de
veloped by Mrs. Louisa Cunningham,
the wife of Robert Cunhingham, son
of PatHck Cunningham the first. The
place in its best days was surround
ed by a natural park of thirty acres
and immediately around the house
was an area of seven acres devoted
to roses and other flowers.
Mrs. Louisa Cunningham was the
mother of Miss Pamela Cunningham
who conceived the idea of preserv
ing Mount Vernon, the home of
George Washington, as a national 1
shrine. — Greenwood Index-Jour
