'GHOSTS FROM THE COAST" Ghosts have a good repre sentation in the state of su pernatural affairs under the capable pen of Julian Bolick. Only the privilege of hearing the author relate the stories himself would be a greater treat than reading the collec tion, “Ghosts from the Coast,” now available from the Chronicle office. Mr. Bolick is versatile in many fields—writing, sketch ing, oil painting, landscape gardening, and architecture —but his expert characteriza tion of the area dialects sur passes them all. The coastal area, speci fied in the title, is the locale for the related visits. That area of South Carolina, rich in history, seems to have had its share of “characters,” so why should their guardian spirits not keep posterity in formed of the goings-on of an other era! *»•**«, >* .'I REPORT OF CONDITION OK Bank of Clinton of Clinton, in Che State of South Carolina At The Close of Business on April 25, 1967 ASSETS $ 425,100.79 752,037.06 direct and guaranteed Obligationg of States and political sub divisions i-jJ-'-i—_ 505,325.52 Securities of Federal agencies and corn *j:$. 1i porations not gtiararitfeed by £J. $. 1| 140,050.00 Other loans and discounts 1,643,520.64 Bank premises, furriiture and fixtures, and other assets representing bank premises . 82,813.70 Other assets 2,752.09 TOTAL ASSETS $3,561,499.80 LIABILITIES Demand deposits of individuals, part nerships, and corporations $1,905,711.04 Time and savings deposits of indivi duals, partnerships and corporations 611,594.56 Deposits of U.

Today’s crowded mod ern homes offer no space for ghosts to drag their chains, swing luminous lanterns, or walk sedately up and down curving stairways. There- fore, the haunted places are always situated off the beat en pathways. The double “ve randahs”, huge ballrooms, candle-lit hallways and secret passageways provide the at mosphere for the supernatu ral. These things come into reality as the reader visits “The Suicide Room,” meets the “Playful Terriers,” and imagines he can hear the “Mysterious Music at Prince FrederickX*’ The spine ac tually tingles over the “Blue Coats and the Devil.” Lovers of local tradition feel that this type of folklore te as much a part of South, Carolina as the state’s ex ploits of colonization, her rep utation for individuality, or her great citizenry. We “•are grateful to the author for serving as guardi^p of these thrilling and tragic memories in a readable style. After reading Mr. Bolick’s latest book, we agree that not all skeletons or ghosts should be confined to family closets. With the publication of the third collection of tall tales, we should not be surprised to learn that the author might he contemplating some such organization as “Ghosts Un limited.
