if THE CLINTON CHBONICLB Cttatoa, 8. C, tkwmiaf, SI, IMS FArAs and FOLKS By L. C. HAMILTON Cottac* BxtMMkm Information Specialist . Increasing use of processed poultry moats by family con. sutners and the growing import ance of institutions as customers ar% bringing some interesting triads in the opultry Industry. Dr. Douglas Hamm, Clemson University leader of extension poultry work, says the family* sised broiler of 2-3 pounds dress ed weight is perhaps here to stay simply because they're the right sise to satisfy appetites of the average family of four to six members. Turkey growers may have a different situation with respect to Institutions like restaurants, hospitals, rest homes, and the armed forces, however. Many of these institutions would prefer turkeys weighing up to 50 pounds (if it were avail able) rather than baking 5 fowls weighing only 10 pounds each in order to obtain the same quanti ty of cooked meat. Dr. Hamm says that within the turkey industry there has recently been a stronger demand for larger turkeys weighing 25 pounds or more. Part of this de mand has been created by the addition of new turkey food pro ducts gotten by further proces sing. M. C. Small, executive secre tary of the National Turkey Fed eration, says his group has spon sored a heaviest turkey contest for years. A few years ago this contest was won by turkeyman T. B. Setzler of Newberry. Setxler’s entry weighed an astounding 61 pounds and 4 ounces, live weight. His turkey still holds the live weight rec. ord. Prior to 1960, Small said the Federation has specified that turkeys in the contest by "New Yark dressed," that is, they were killed, bled, and picked free of feathers. The insides, head and feet, were left on. Small related that the compe tition became so fierce that at o n e contest the, turkeymen thought the heaviest turkey exhi bited appeared too small in size to account for its spectacular weight of 68tt pounds. Contest ants shouted that the turkey was "loaded" and the live bird re quirement had to be instituted. Some of the turkeys exhibited Telephona Talk By D. H. MARTIN Your Telephono COMPUTERS HELP us a great deal in providing Clinton with good telephone service. But they can never replace the spirit of service so traditional with telephone people. That spirit is the very human concern which prompets our people to give an extra measure of helpfulness, wherever its need ed. And it's as much a part of Southern Bell ser vice in South Carolina today as it was 'way back before computers wore invented. • i * . .• WHY IS YOUR TELEPHONE LIKE A LADY’S COSMETIC CASE? Sound like a silly ques tion? Well, it has a very sensible answer. Western Electric, the com pany that manufactures telephone parts, uses many beauty prepara- 1 tions in the manufacturing process. Beeswax (the same kind that goes into eye shadow) is used as a preservative for small wooden parts. A'special kind of alcohol, also used in cologne, is used as a finishing solution for telephone parts. Talcum powder in pressed cores is used for loading coils which are placed in tele phone circuits. You might say, the same cosmetics that subtract years from a woman’s appearance, add yean to the life of your phone! • • • HAVE YOU EVER BEEN EATEN OUT OF HOUSE AND HOME? Do you lead a charmed life? Are you merry as the day is long? If so, you’re a living example of some of the immortal quotations from William Shake speare. Day after day, all over the world, lines from his writings are in every English-speaking country. Even though his writings are hundreds of yean old, his thinking is as up-to-date as tomorrow, and means as much to us as it did to the Englishmen of his time. Here are some more of his famous quotes: Method in his madnyff . . . give the devil his due ... the milk of human kindness... elbow room . .. with bag and baggage . .. laugh yourself into stitches. And, to quote the Bard again ... all’s well that ends well! * • * WE HAVE A CURE FOR THE “AFTER-CHRIST- MAS-THANK-YOU-NOTE-BLUES” . . . telephone your thank you’s! It's such a nice, personal way to say “thank you." (Quicker, tool) at the Federation's shows have been so large mid the competi tion so keen that some growers even considered buying an os trich in order to take the crown. Whether the ostrich was ever seriously considered I cannot say. More than likely the sug gestion was made in lest But the ostrich idea Is interest ing even though it may be im practical. The ostrich is the largest living bird. The South African ostrich, for Instance, may weigh up. to 300 pounds. The larger birds stand 7 to 8 feet tall. ■’ Perhaps we missed the boat back in the 1600’s when we al lowed the Moas, giant birds of New Zealand, to become extinct. Some of the Moas weighed as much as 500 pounds and were 12 feet high! The natives of the is lands on which the Mos lived relished the meat. The natives’ constant hunting of the - giant bird is believed to have caused their extinction. The Moas were thought to feed on fern roots and green leaves. Perhaps they lived for many years. Their cousins, the os trich, sometimes live to the ripe old age of 75 years, according to one authority. How efficient the ostrich is in feed conversion, we don’t know. Little research hat been done with the giant bird. They would have to be most efficient, how ever, to compare favorably with the chicken. Dr. Hamm says broilers pro. duced today put on a pound of flesh for each two pounds of feed which they eat. A one to one ra tio has been obtained in the laboratory. This seems to be al most unbelievable; a near state of perfection in developing an ef ficient species for producing flesh. The broiler's outstanding effi ciency in feed conversion will perhaps have a restraining in fluence on the bigness trends in poultry fowls. Yet we can’t resist speculating on how a young 106-pound os trich would look on the banquet table, or buying a 3-pound os trich egg for the family’s week ly supply of breakfast fare (in stead of the usual two dozen)! settlers of the area. His Inn is referred to as the "John Lee Stage Tavern” in Mil’s Atlas, published in 1320 and revised in 1825. This was a regular stopping point on the stagecoach route, and its most famous visitor was George Washington, who break fasted here on May 2S K 1731, dur ing his tour of toe South. If you drive back to Lee Street, which is South Carolina 331, and turn left, you can follow this route to the site of one of the early bitter struggles of the American Revolution. About two miles from LeesviUe, on the James Barr property, the Battle of Cloud’s Creek, or the famous "Butler Massage” took place. Here, Captain James Butler, his son, and about thirty Whigs or patriots attempted to fight off an attack by several hundred Loyalists (or Tories) under com mand of William Cunningham. Nearly all of the Whigs were killed in this struggle, and their bodies left unburied. It was mostly sorrowing women, rela tives of the dead, who dug a common grave for all those ex cept Captain Butler and his son, who were interred together. A new marker, erected last year on Highway 331, Indicates the site. The battle site and graves are still visible today. After coming back to U. 3. 1 (Church Street) you con continue into Batesburg, where there are several historic old homes. There is none that holds more secrets of long ago than the Hartley House, across from the Bates burg Eelementary School. It is virtually hiden among the moss- covered giant oaks and crepe myrtles, reminiscent of the ro mantic atmosphere of the Old South. You cannot visit the home, as Hartley descendants still reside there, but it has a colorful story. It was built about 1796 by John Pearson Bond, who married the daughter of an Indian Agent, Captain John Falrchield. Even tually, early settler John Bates came into possession of the prop erty and lived in this house for about 30 years. During the time Bates owned it, the house was a stagecoach stop, and it is be lieved that the town was first called Batesville for this reason. When formal incorporation of the town came in 1377, Hie name became Batesburg, to save can- fusion with another town hi the' state, bearing the name Bates ville. Lodwlck Hartley bought the house in 1853 and it has re mained in {hit family fore more than a century. Another home in Batesburg was owned by Michael Bates, brother of John. This old home still stands on the north side of town, on Saluda Avenue (High way 178) at Bermuda Street. It Is a fine example of the architec ture of its time. There is no firm confirmation of the date it was built, but it was prior to toe Civil War, probably in the eariy 1800’s.

OWENS, Attorney for the Plaintiff nifitoi, South Carolina January 5, 1888 J7-»c-J21-0 How many times do you drive through a town without giving a thought to what history or points of interest might be there? Many towns in South Carolina are de ceiving on the surface, as you’ll find at Batesburg-Leesville, the "twin-city" communities' about thirty miles west of Columbia on U. S. Highway 1. As you drive along Church Street (U. S. 1) in Leesville, you wilu pass the Southern Methodist Church. On a site across the street, John Lee built an Inn in the late 1700’s. Lee owned much of what is now Lexington Coun ty, and was one of the earliest Note From Mr. Mitchefl Rev. James B. Mitchell, who served for many years as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Joanna, recently renewed his subscription to The Chronicle. Along with the renewal he en closed an appreciated note, as follows: "Deer Friends: "We miss you folks. The best to you. Thanks for your friend ship. "To get the news—we must have The Chronicle tor another year.” Hr. and Mrs. MiMtcheU some months ago moved to Orchard Park, N. Y., where Mr. Mitc hell is pastor of the First Bap tist Church.

All POt THE CHURCH The Oranh it the greateet factor on earth for the build ing of character end good dflasnship. U ie a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. Thera are four sound reasons why every person should attend aerricae regularly and support tha church. They are: (1) For hie own take. (2) For his chil dren’s sake, (3) For the eake of hie community and nation. (4) For the sake of the church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily. v :?** tP- What do you fee here? Figures of statuary? A symbol of religion? A monument to the Master? Look with your heart and you’ll see something else. You’ll see the aoul of the sculptor. A rann mightily inspired — who wanted with his talents to worship Christ — .who took stone and chisel and hammer ... and all the strength of his body . . . and aU the faith of his heart. He said to the world with his Art-Words that which he could never have spoken with his lips nor written with his pm. For twenty centuries Jesus, the Saviour, has inspired our best. In the ttwnaiu of mankind a million thrilling breakthroughs in human achieve ment have been dedicated to His service. So novor past the humblest creation of sacred art — not even the crayoned BiMe-picture of a child — without remembering that you too have a soul And talents to give your God!
