Childs Takes Lie
Detector Test To
Refute Local Rumors
C. D. Childs, Clinton Negro, pro
prietor of Childs Funeral Home of
this city, has submitted to The
Chronicle for publication a let
ter from Sheriff C. W. Wier of
Laurens County, referrnig to a lie
deioetor—test--takw -by- ClvikL in
an effort to refute certain rumors
that have been circulated in this
area among the Negro population
linking Childs with the disappear
ance of one Bill Anderson some
months ago*
Stories appeared in newspapers
several weeks ago pertaining to
the mysterious disappearance of
Anderson, Negro of the Mount
ville section, about a year ago. He
has not been seen in the commu
nity'' where he lived since that
time and no explanation has been
advanced for his disappearance.
The newspaper stories were in
reference to the reported finding
of several articles of clothing said
to belong to the missing man.
Following, is the letter to Childs
from Sheriff Wier:
“During my investigation on the
disappearance of Bill Anderson, I
found a number of rumors among
the colored papulation that you
had disposed of the body of Bill
Anderson.
“After talking to you about
these rumors you volunteered to
take a lie detector test. This test
was given to you on May 27, 1957.
at the South Carolina Law En
forcement Division at Columbia,
S. C. The result of this t*st was as
-follows. I quote: 'It is.the opinion
oi the examiner ^at this subject
has no guilty knowledge about the
disappearance of Bill Anderson.
Submitted by J. Frank Faulk of
the S. C. Law* Enforcement Di
vision.’
“You may use my letter and the
letter enclosed from the S. C. Law
Enforcement Division any way
that you like to clear yourself of
these false rumors.
“Very truly yours,
”C. W. Wier, Sheriff,

Disabled Workers
Urged To File For
Security Benefits
June 30 is an important date
for disabled people, Miss Martha
Pressly, district manager of the
Greenwood distract office of the
Social Security Administration,
reminded today.
Miss Pressly stated that the
June 30 date this year has par
ticular significance for an esti
mated 700,000 disabled workers
in this country. These are dis
abled people who have worked
long enough under social security
to be eligible to have their rights
to future benefits for themselves
and their families protected—of
this 700,000 about 400,000 people
rrtho?? between 50 and 65 years
of age—are eligible for monthly
disability insurance benefits be
ginning with July. Many of
those eligible have not yet ap
plied.
"The aim of the over 500 dis
trict offices of the Social Security
Administration at this time is to
get in touch with these disabled
people prior to the deadline date
of ^une 30 and assist them in fil
ing applications,” Miss Pressly
stated.
Anyone who is now disabled
for work and has not worked
since September, 1954, will lose
his disability rights under the
social security law if he does not
apply by June 30. If a disabled
worker does not make his appli
cation until July or later, his
future benefits may be substan
tially reduced or lost and he may
not be eligible for the monthly
disability insurance benefits pay
able to disabled workers 50 to
65 years of age. *
Disabled workers who believe
they are eligible should get in
touch with their social security
district offices now to protect
their rights.
