Mule Causes Finding
Of Indian Burial Urn
St. Matthews, Aug. 20.?The stumble
of a mule may bring archaeologists
to Calhoun county and excavations
may be started in search of additional
historic relics, some of which
were recently uncovered on the farm
of l). ,K. Wise, and the like of which
have never hitherto bt^en fodnd in
this section.
Following recent rainy weather,
Wise, while plowing, saw his mule
sink to his belly in soft earth at the
end of a row in one of his fields. Iu
digging thu. animal out, a hard substance
was uncovered. It proved to
be an Indian burial urn, of red, hardbaked
clay. It was oval shape, like
an egg with a cover at the top like a
shallow dish. Removing the cover,
the hones of the Indian, sitting with
the legs crossed was found inside.
The skeleton was in good preservation,
and the teeth excellent. The
outside of the urn yyas engraved with
curious lines. Continuing the excavntion
another urn similar to that
first found, was uncovered. Both urns
were in an upright posture and about
three feet. high.
It is understood that representatives
of the Charleston museum have
become interested in this discovery
and are planning to send representatives
to this county to make further
excavations.
So far as can be learned no such
find has ever been uncovered in South
Carolina before, and tins discovery
may lead to uncovering other such
relics which may be of considerable
historic value.
The urns were found on an elevated
portion of ground overlooking the
Congarce river, which it is said, was
peculiar to the custom of the race in
bursting their dead.
Loses Four Mules
One After Another
Tom Robinson, a ih^rkey who farms
about rix miles beroSv Chcraw, had j
one mule last spring. One morning j
in March he found the mule dead in
the stable. He managed to buy another
and the first night the mule
was put in the stable it died. Tom
had applied for a seed loan, and when
the money came he bought another
mule ami two mornings later it was
dead in the stall. About that time
a man came along and said that he
would give Tom a mule for a cow and
calf. Tom accepted the offer anil the
man brought the mule from up in
Anson county in a truck and unloailid
it at Tom's house and loaded the
cow and calf and drove off. Tom
was afraid to put the mule in the
-tabic as he concluded that "witches"
were riding the mule.s to death at
night. So he tied the mule outside
the stable to the stable door. Next
morning the mule was dead. Tom
decided he would get a "Bull Ox"
a- the witches wouldn't ride an ox:
but a few days ago the <>x died and
apparently from the same cause that
had killed the mules. He noticed
that one leg of the ox was swollen
and saw the print of the teeth of a
snake and looking in the stable under
the ground sill found that a den
of copperhead moccasins was there.
He killed the ,-r.uki.- and now he is
-u:o that the animals all died -from
be,. if the r.nake- and not witches

HENRY McLEOD I
// ill Be Re-elected Sheriff I
Sheriff McLeod served as Deputy Sheriff * under Sheriff Welch for seven and I I
one-half years and is now rounding out his second term as Sheriff. He has proven j j
I himself to be a capable, conscientious, considerate and fearless officer. He has won j j
the respect of the law-abiding citizens of Kershaw County.,. Before legislative re- I j
lief was afforded he risked the censure of higher officials by refusing to advertise n
property for delinquent taxes. The efficient conduct of his office has saved the I H
county thousands of dollars. The Kershaw County Grand Jury, at the Fall Term of I H
1932, spoke of him as follows: I I,
"We desire to commend the Sheriff and his office for their activi- I H>
ties in the enforcement of the law, especially under the handicap of I I,
not having longer a rural police system in the county. The large I V
number of cases investigated by the Sheriff and brought to this court I He
indicates a lively sense of obligation to the duties of that office. The I H(
Sheriff is likewise to be commended for his cooperation with the Solicitor
in bringing about so many pleas of guilty, thus saving the county ' I Hi
the expense of trials." 1 B
Several other Grand Juries commended him in like manner. I B
He has served us faithfully and well. His record has not been attacked. We I H/
" sieed lis experience and his ability in the office. Let's re-elect him by an over- 11 H
whelming vote.
DON'T BE MISLEAD by ELEVENTH HOUR PROPAGANDA. 11
