Master Hairston, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wayne Hairston, was bom at5:20a.m.Saturday,April4at Bailey Memorial Hospital. He was the first baby born in Laurens County on the opening day of the state’s Tricentennial Celebration. He was over five hours behind a Camden infant who won the state’s “Baby of the Century Contest” and a host of prizes. Tommy C. Cobb Jr. of Camden was born at 12:01 a.m. Saturday at the Kershaw County Memorial Hospital. He wins a three-inch silver tricentennial medallion, a $300 investment trust fund which will be available when he is 18 years old and numerous gifts from participating merchants. The contest was sponsored by the Tricentennial Commission to honor the first baby born as the state moved into its fourth century. The Cobb baby beat a Spartanburg infant by one minute. Although the Hairston baby missed out on the state prizes, the Laurens County Tricentennial Commission voted Tuesday night to present him with a Tricentennial medallion in honor of his being the first baby of the fourth century in Laurens County.

We have several newly- planted camellias with leaves turning brown. (Specimenenclos ed.) Can you tell me the cause? J. R. S., Belton A. The circular spots on the camellia leaves are diagnosed as sun burn r sun scald. This can happen during the colder months of the year. Camellia experts say drops of water freeze on the leaves, and when bright sun fol lows they tend to concentrate the sun's rays much the same as a prism. Apparently this burn is more severe on the east side of the home plantings. It is not a permanent type of disorder, and is entirely non-pathological. When the leaves are shed and new growth appears, it is forgotten. -- W. C. Nettles, principal Ex tension specialist, entomology and plant pathology. Q. Can we stop branches from dying in our seven water oak trees without spraying the whole tree? They are about 30 years old and damage is becoming ex treme. C. J. W., Greer A. It’s normal for water oaks to develop dead branches as they reach this age. The tree becomes so thick that smaller limbs are shaded out and as the tree ages vigor declines. The best way to rejuvenate them is to have a professional tree firm thin and prune them. If fertilization has been lacking, and adequate pro gram is also recommended. -- E. V. Jones, assistant Extension specialist, horticulture. THE CHRONICLE Established 1900 DON NY WILDER Editor and Publisher Published every Thursday by the Chronicle Publishing Com pany.

Will they shed and new ones come out or will I have to cut it back? Mrs. V. M. B., Taylors. A. If the wood is still green, the gardenias have a good chance of putting out new growth. This can be determined by cutting some of the branch tips with prun ing shears. If the wood is suc culent and green it’s still alive; if it 's dry and brownish the branch is dead and may as well be trim med back to live growth.

Ctta «a« Nmy Tmlucks Entertain Last week Dr. Rembert Tru- luck, Jr. conducted revival ser vices at the First BapristChurch in Clinton.

C., April 9, 1970—3-A Martinet, Honeymoon All About Wonls Martinet, says Webster’s Dictionary, means “one who lays stress on a rigid adher ence to the details of forms and methods.” The word, which has found general ac ceptance in several languages, is actually the surname of a French general, Jean Marti net, who was chosen from the ranks by young King Louis XIV to build an army of highly disciplined soldiers. A lieutenant colonel in the King’s Regiment of Foot until his promotion to inspector general, Martinet proved to be exactly what the king was looking for in his quest for military glory and his ambi tion to make France the most powerful nation in Europe in the 17th century. Between 1660 and 1672, using a pre cise, persistent system of drill, Martinet trained his men to fight as a unit, march ing in line, holding their places under fire, shooting in volley at command. All this required that the soldiers un der his command be drilled, drilled, drilled. Martinet succeeded in turn ing out the world’s strongest army at the time, but he was not well liked by his own men who spoke his name as an epitome for an autocratic dis ciplinarian. Supposedly by ac cident, Martinet was shot and killed by his own troops in the seige of Dusiberg in 1672. Persons who have gained public attention, along per haps with some public adora tion, are said to be in the limelight. This unusual phrase had its beginning in the thea ter. Before 1816, when Thom as Drummond introduced a new type of light, stages were not too well lit. Using a re flector and a cylinder of lime, which could be heated to in candescence by a flame, Drummond devised an in tensely bright spotlight. The placing of this limelight on any particular actor on the stage immediately focused the audience’s full attention upon him. From this, the word evolved to include anyone in a conspicuous position. The first month after mar riage is known the world over as the honeymoon. This holi day for the bridal couple dates back to antiquity when it was the custom of the new lyweds to drink daily of a po tion containing honey for a period of 30 days, which cor responds to the lunar month or a complete cycle of the moon. The word is also used today to describe a period of unusual harmony, as between the President and the Con gress. —Notional Preu WHITE DAISIES For a look as fresh and young as spring itself, pick a yellow double woven cotton blooming with white daisies.

But she stayed fat and couldn’t blame anyone but herself. You see, her husband worked long hours. To pass the time, Bonnie ate. "I got so big I once got stuck in a telephone booth," said Bonnie.
