REVOLUTIONARY RELIC
Mow !2 Year Old I^ass Won Admira

The following by Fred A. Olds, in
'.he Masonic Journal, published at
Ox'fojxi, N. C., will be rewd "with in
tere<*t. The young Lady in the story
nas kinsfolk residing in and near
?his county:
One of the most pleasing and im
nressive relics of the War of the Rev
olution (July 1775-August, 178.3) i.s
a pair of gold ear-rings, which tell
the story of those stirring times.
They were made for Martha Lenoir,
?iged 12 years, the daughter of Thom
as Lenoir, of South Carolina, and
?vore well-merited reward for her
navery and filial devotion to her fa
ther. The latter was a Continental
?oldier in the fatal battle of Cam
den, S. C., one of the two greatest re
verses the Americans suffered in the
entire eight ye*Jfc of the war, and he
a a s wounded and captured. His home
?vas not far from the battlefield,
? ?nd when the terrible news of the
? rushing defeat came the little he
roine prepared a dinner and rode on
horseback to the headquarters of Lord
( harles Cornwallis, the British com
mander. To him she made petition to
He allowed to see her father. His
ordship, soldier antd gentleman, was
greatly pleased by her spirit, and
granted her request with pleasure,
?she divided her dintner between her
father and Corivwallts, and to her in
finite surprise and joy the latter told
her he would grant her more than
she asked and then gave her father
to her custody, a prisoner no longer.
A few days later Captain Lenoir gave
a couple of gold coins to a Scotch
blacksmith to make her a pair of
ear-rings, and be made these of dou
ble circlets, in a quaint and charm
ing design. The ear-rings have been
deposited in the North Carolina Hall
of History by Mr. Gordon Hackett, o^
North Wilkesboro, a. great grandson
of the gallant little Martha of the
long ago. Captain Thomas Ix;noir
was a brother of General William
Lenoir, of the Revolutionary army,
whose home, well preserved, is at
"Fort Defiance", in what is now
Caldwell county, and whose name is
perpetuated by a county and bv a
town.",
A cemetery for noble horses in
which lie buried ten regal, history
making rulers of the turf has been
established by John E. Madden at
Lexington, Kentucky, in the hope that
this may be the "Westminster Ab
bey" for great hors??.

May Day a Success
(From The Wat?roe Gauzette)
May Day at Wateree proved
a great success in every way.
For once the weather man fa
vored us with ideal conditions
and a large crowd of pedple
were out to enjoy the festivi
ties. And everybody appar
ently had a good time*- -
The program started with
*ome races by the boys and the
boys entered into the races
.vith a great deal of spirit that
created lots of excitement and
amusement.
The first race, the sack race
was won by Ivy Holomon.
Dewey Dority won the ob
stacle race.
The antelope race was won
by small boys captained by
J. ?. Johnson.
Davis' relay team won the
baseball relay and Norman
Cameron won the egg and
spoon race. All the winners re
ceived a prize of 50c.
The next event was the tug
of war betw?een the weave and
card rooms. The weave room
won the event even though
Cullie Conyers was pulling for
the card room.
Then followed the May pole
dance by the small girls which
was very well done. Miss
Vaughan and a group of Wood
Nymphs from tihe pageant
"Camden, Yesterday and To
day" were next on the pro
gram and their dancing was
very prettily done to the en
joyment of the large crowd.
The crowning of the May
Queen came next and Miss Al
ma Raley was the favorite
among all the girls present and
was chosen "Queen of the
May." Miss Raley came from
the crowd, took her place on
the throne that had been pre
pared and the crown was plac
ed on her head by Mr. R. R.
Higgins of Boston. Mr. Hig
gins also presented Alma with
a fine box of chocolates.
The rest of the program was
given over to the base ball
game between Hermitage and
Wateree which proved very in
teresting. Hermitage won the
game 9-7 in eight innings.
Mimms, Baker and Knight was
the battery for Wateree while
Threatt, David and Barnett
worked for Hermitage.
The features of the game
were catches of Barnes and P.
Sanders. The umpiring was
done by Mr. Higgins and Gib
DeBruhl. Music throughout
the program was furnished by
the Mill Band and the refresh
ments were handled by the
Glee Club.

Prominent Hanker of Pe* Pm Section
l-wtw II ih Life
Dillon, April 30.'-A tragic death
occurred at the little Pee Dee river
bridge between Dillon and Rowland,
N. thin afternoon about I o'clock
when the Hudson coach driven by W.
U Buck, of Rowland, plunged through
the heavy guard railing of the new
highway bridge. At the point where j
the car went over the water wax deep
enough to submerge the whole car,
holding the occupant a prisoner to
drown like a rat. The car he was
driving waa practically a new one.
He had been to Mullins where until
last Monday a week ago he had serv
ed the Hank, of Mullins as president.
On his return trip he stopped in
Dillon and chatted with friends a
few minutes. A very.short time after
he left Dillon news came that a big
car had run off the bridge and had
disappeared beneath the water. A
rescue party was soon made up and
the car was lifted from the water
with a wrecking derrick. The body
was brought to the undertaking par
lors of the Palmetto Hardware Com
pany where it was dressed ?and pro
pared for burial.
Mr. Buck was also cashier of the
Farmers and Merchants Bank of
Rowland, N. C. This bank closed its
doors Tuesday and has not since been
opened due to its financial condition.
Mr. Buck was a man of pleasing
personality and ho was always pop
ular. Besides being prominent as a
bunker, he o^ned a club house at
Murrell's inlet and often entertained
his friends there. He is survived by
a widow and two small children. His
widow before marriage was Miss1
Marie Burt and she lived in Dillon.

State's Progress Reflected
In Telephone Growth
^THL: growth and progress of
South Carolina last year
was strikingly reflected in
the large investment in addi
tions and extensions to the tele
phone system.
Such an active year of con
struction has rarely been expe
rienced in the State, and, as a
result, the telephone service is
more extensive and more valu
able than ever before^3
In South Carolina last year
the telephone workers handled
1 1,72V telephone stations,
making a net gain of 2,595 new
telephones and involving gross
additions to plant of approxi
mately $645,880.
To accomplish this hi ? task
required the services ot 763
workers, whose annual wage
bill was $806,949.
The investment in service in
South Carolina as of December
31, 1924, was 57,207,196, and
there are now ^7,388 Hell tele
phones in the State.
Some of the items included
in the investment a^e 55 cen
tral unices, 100,682 miles ot
wire, 1,893 miles of pole line
and 124 miles of underground
duct. -
There is, a bigger task ahead
this year, and your considerate
interest encourages the tele
. phone workers in their effort
to serve vou even better.
