How did it happen? Well, this is what has amazed people in Dillon County, as they recall a series of developments which promoted a small combi nation motel-service station op eration on Highway 301, just south of the North Carolina state line, to a fullsized commun ity with its own post office facil ity and adequate facilities to entice travelers to stop not only for one night, hut to remain for entire vacations. South of the Border, S. C., is an unincorporated community which has become the object of much publicity throughout the southeast. It has, perhaps, be come the most publicized tingle tourist attraction on the famous north-south Route 301. With an overall length of more than a thousand miles, 301 brings thousands of travelers through South Carolina each year. This is one of our more traveled Palmet to Pathways. Going north from their Flori da wintering, motorists find the city of Allendale the first heavily populated area after leaving Syl- vania, Ga., and crossing the Georgia lir^. In that area, trav elers are to visit authentic pre-Revolutionary War homes and large plantations. The highway knifes its way through the heart of the Pee Dee area where there is evidenced a great amount of agriculture. Travelers have been seen stop ping during tobacco season along the roadside to take snapshots of workers in the field or during cotton picking time to seek sam ples of the white lint. But, as it approaches its north ernmost point in South Carolina, Highway 301 brings the motorist upon a most unusual array of lights, buildings and outdoor ex hibits. This is South of the Border, S. C. It all began with one man J Alan “Pedro” Shafer. He la n man with dedicated determina tion, so much so that he has al most become a legend in his own day among the people of his native country. Shafer is an idea man. He not only creates things on papa:, but sees to it that they become in the country, into an area where the population has explod ed and constant additions are be ing made. Only a couple of tenant houses were located in this area a few years ago. Now, hundreds live and gain their livelihood in this community. Tourists, stopping ovemight.or remaining for vaca tions, create an additional pop ulace in the community. Barber shops,, drug stores, package shop, service stations, restaurant, motel, novelty shop, post office, variety store, and outdoor recreation facilities in cluding a race track; all are a part of a master plan which has sought to add tourist dollars to the economy of South Carolina. Very few autos, whether trav eling north or south, fail to stop to take in some of this colorful outlay. Confederateland, USA, with its tall blinking, illuminated rocket-shaped sign, is a popular attraction. Here, there are ani mals in a zoo, a small train, a replica of nearby Dillon half a reality. He has developed what was originally a tract of farm land, by far not the richest land Century ago, and a museum of Confederate War relics. Swimming pools, putt golf and other outdoor recreations are available to visitors. In the zoo, there are camels, buffalo, donk eys, and many unusual animals. Former Resident Named To Board Robert D.

Mr., and Mrs. Thomas Dixon Harmony Presbyterian Church, which holds services in a build ing that is also used by Harmony Baptist Church. Rev. Carroll Caldwell is pastor of the Baptist congregation. This unique church building has served as church home for both- Baptists and Presbyterians in the community in upper Lau rens County since 1844-45. In a day when county churches were widely separated and transpor tation difficulties kept many from attending church, the Pres byterian and Baptist families in the, area pooled their resources and erected.a house of worship. The Presbyterian Church was organized in 1844 and the Baptist organized one year later. In order to prevent a mix-up in mail, the Presbyterians chose New Harmony and the Baptists Harmony for the church name. By South Carolina legislation it was determined that each organi zation should have use of the building for two Sunday morn ings and two Sunday afternoons a month. The fifth Sundays were alternated between the two con gregations and for more than a century the agreement has been adhered to.- J. M. Ownbey, S3, Dies At Kinanls Kinards—J. M.
