METEOR PITS ARK LIME PITS
Carolina Geologist Tells Alanit The
Sinks Near Myrtle Reach
Duncan Rose, a geologist of JFayetteville,
N. C? takes issue with the
Oklahoma savants who saw from an
airplane the marks of many big me-,
teors hitting the South Carolina
coastal plain above, around and below
Myrtle Reach. He says they are lime
sinks, and explains all about them
in a communication to The Charlotte
Observer, which suys:
If those two Oklahoma scientists
knew a little more about the geology
of our coastal plain, doubtless they
j would not Im? so sure about their comet
theory.
Those pits on the coastal plain,
when seen from an airplane, may look
like "meteor pits," but they are only
"lime sinks." Their bottoms and
sides are covered with sen shells' hnd
lime rock fragments, not meteorites.
The lower part of the Southern Atlantic
coastal plain from the Chesapeake
to Cape Sable, Florida, is underlaid
with some kind of lime rock or
conglomerate of sea shells of several
periods, hut mainly of the miocene.
The surficial covering, very thin in
places, is of loose sand or loamy
clays. When the lime rock underneat
h is dissolved away by the percolating
waters tin- surficial covering |
caves in and a "lime sink" is formed, i
Some of them ure only a few yards
across, others miles in diameter.
Some are full of water, others are
merely depressions in the earth's surface.
This process of forming lime sinks
lias been going on for ages and has
not yet ceased. Lime pits can be
seen in eastern North Carolina of
recent formation with trees capsized
or growing in the sunken area.
Around Catharine I^ake, iu Onslow
county, which lake is itself a large
lime pit, are several of that character.
The "natural well""near Magnolia in
Duplin county has been caroXully explored
4iid studied by our North Carolina
geologists. Idike Waccamaw ip
Columbus county is in part at least a
great lime pit, and the process of dissolution
and caving in is still going
on all along its northern shorp, and
great fragments of miocenq lime-rock
and shells can be seen w^iere they
have tumbled into the water along
with trees from the banks. Many of
the lakes of Florida have been formed
in the same way.
Thanks Their Friends.
Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Sowell and
family request The Chronicle to
thank their many friends who offered
them assistance in their_recent disastrous
fire, which destroyed their
home and all belongings.
"Lespedeza Luke"
Former Sumter Boy
,/n <?
Luclan I. Strauas, former Sumter
county boy, purchased a farm in Guilford
county a few years ago. He
soon found that the methods of terming
in South Carolina, with which he
was familiar, were not exactly the
same as were required on hia Tar
Hee\ venture ami so ohe turned his
efforts toward legumes for eoil improvement,
forage *nd graalpg crops.
Experimenting wit]b many legumes he
decided that the annual types of leapedes*
suited ftim in every way. After
three years' experience with leapedeaa,
the United States Department
of Agriculture then announced
the perrenial lespedexa, better known
as Sericoa, ami here's where Mr.
Strauss got his nickname of "Lespedeea
Luke." *
Then Mr. Strauss started planting
Sericoa. He is considered ns an authority
on this wonder plant that has
taken North Carolina by storm. Just
before harvesting his crop last fall,
his fiold was inspected by Dr. A. J..
Pieters, Chief Agronomist, Bureau of
Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C., whp was
high in his praise of Mr. Strauss'
efforts.
Mr, Strauss expects to increase his
acreage of Sericea during the coming
year. Hundreds of farmers here
visited his farm to learn about it.
j All have investigated its reputed
greatness and seem satisfied. Mr.
Strduss states that seed are selling
this year at greatly reduced prices
over years past.
With a fine spirit of affection for
the citizens of his native state, Mr.
Strauss stated recently, "I wish it
were possible for me to make a campaigns
*11 over South Carolina to acquai^its
farmers with the fine possibilities
of this wonder plant that
requires but one planting, thnt produces
two or more cuttings of fine
appetizing and nourishing hay each
season and with yields as high as
two tons per acre per cutting after
the first year. South Carolina soil in
my opinion is better suited for Sericea."

Quits Wild Life
To Aid Mother
5-. ,
Norfolk, Nob., Doc. 23.-4>iaroond
Dick, marksman extraordinary, today
disclosed ho foraook the charm and
glamour of a showman's life to care
for his mother.
Hosting in a comfortable chair in
his home here, Diamond Dick, known
to citizens of Norfolk as Dr. Hichard
J. Taiiner, a prominent physician, told
how i^e hung up his buckskin, cut off
his long hair, ahaved his goateo and
put away his rifles and pistols, all of
which made him a picturesque showman.
lie forever surrendered the.
cognomen, which made him one of the
most widely known marksmen and
characters in the early days of the
western prairies, to care for his
mother. i>
Thousands of persons once marveled
at his expert tlfle and pistol
shots, but Tanner decided in 1905 to
quit the life which made him famous.
It was not a request of his mother
that caused him to retire from showmanship.
Instead, it was his own decision
to settle down bo 'he could care
for her as long as she lived.
After dropping from the spotlight,
he became ju3? plain Richard J. Tanner,
a student in the old Lincoln, Nebraska,
Medical iCollege. There he
studied earnestly and became a physician
so he could carry out his decision
to enter a profession which
would enable him to give his mother
a comfortable hoiflfc.
After graduating in 1909, he began
the practice of medicine and a
year later came to Norfolk where he
hung out his shingle and where until
1925, he was known only as Dr.
^Richard J. Tanner.
Soycn years ago at the insistence of
the Norfolk post of the American Legion,
Dr. Tanner revealed to his fellow
townsmen that he was the great
marksman, Diamond Dick. He did
this to help promote a rodeo which
the legionnaires had sponsored. Since (
then hg*has received hundreds of letjlers
from admirers of bygone days,
and again Diamond Dick was in the
spotlight.
His mother died last summer.
Tanner was born in Taylorville, 111.,
in 1869, and came to Nebraska in
1878. He became known as*a fearless
rider and crackshot. His fame spread
and he was employed by wild west
shows. ,
Farm Crop and Livestock Loans
The Regional Agricultural Credit
Corporation, with- headquarters in
Raleigh, N. C., is now prepared to
make loans in Kershaw county. Application
blanks are now available at
the county agent's office in the court
house in Camden. , .
These loans are different .from thd
seed loans of previous years. These
loans will be made for crop production
and livestock development. Crops
and some other security are required
as collateral. The other security will
probably be cows, mules, etc. 'Hiese
loans will be made to mature in 12
months. Livestock loans may be renewed
for one or^two twelve-months
. periods. Interest will be about 6 per
cent. - .T --??- ?--To
obtain a loan through this channel
a farmer must show that he i?
following a balanced system such as
crop8 and livestock.
Anyone interested in applying fox
' one of these loans should get in
t touch with the county agent for full
information and particulars."
Loans of less than *100 are not
desired. All loans must be well secured,
advises Henry D. Green, th
i county agent.
