Mrs. VirKlnlu Fvnns Hertford had
agreed to turn over her nine-year-old
Hon, Richmond H. Hilton, Jr., to hla
foater parents, the It. M. Lees, of
Fort Mill, S. C.
Mrs. Hertford had been detalnod
here yesterday at the request of
sheriff J. II. Coker, of Darlington
county, South Carolina, but wqs released
upon her promise to remain
here until Sheriff Coker or a representative
comes for the child.
Custody of the child has been the
subject of litigation for several years.
The boy was turned over to the Lees
by his father, the late Richmond H.
Hilton, a former state commander of
the American Legion, after he waH
estranged from his wife.
Late In 1935 the mother regained
custody of the child under u court
order after she had married Kenner
F. Hertford, a Wost Point instructor.
Later the Lees started an action to
obtain the child again, charging the
mother was an "unfit person" to take
care of him.
The mother was ordered to turn
the boy over to the Lees for the
month of July each year. I
Instinct Of A Bull Dog
When Mr. Helms was night policeman
of St. Matthews he had a bull
dog that was by his side through the
long hours from dark to dawn. When
the policeman quit on account of 111
health the dog stayed on the job every
night officer since. The present
patrolman of - the town when others
are asleep, is Barber. He
says that the bull dog meets him
faithfully as he goes on his beat,
leaves him In the morning, and he
knows not what becomes of him
through the day. What happens Is
that he goes to Mrs. Helms. Her
work Is upstairs over the bank, and
the dog spends much of hi* time resting
peacefully at the foot of the stairs
until she comes down. When night
comes, he is back on the job with
the policeman.?Calhoun Times.
An Old Locomotive
An Anderson railway man recalling
that when Blue Ridge engine No. 3,
which makes regular runs between
Helton and Walhalla, was delivered
here back in 1905, a black cat was
found In tho firebox. The cat had
evidently been placed there when the
locomotive Jeft tho plant where It
was assembled, and w&b found after
tho engine arrived here and was about
to bo fired for the first time. Despite
this ill-omen, however, the locomotive
has had no bad luck In the 30-odd
years that it has been in service on
the railway.?Anderson Dally Mail.
Wise Is the girl who possesses such
an unromantlc thing as an appetite
If she marries a butcher Instead of
