He took along the kind of melon which might aell to those who had a nickle ot a dime to pay for one. He went, therefore, to the poorer sections of the city, where poor whites and negroes lire. He began "peddling" hla load, and stated that he found many who wished to buy melons but they did not hare the money With which to pay even the small price of a nickle pr a dime. He was met by children, white and oplored, who wanted melons but who could not buy, because they aid in some cases: "My dady works at the relief but buys liquor with the money he makes." Three small children, the farmer said, were ao emact' ated that he could easily have carried the three on his arm If he could have taken them up. These were white children. He said they were literally starved. 80, many melons were given to these starving children. ~ We were shocked that such a condition could be reported- In this "city which boasts of its wealth and culture. Such conditions might be expected to exists in some large city but not In Charleston, especially after years of the New Deal and relief of various kinds.?Walterboro Press and Standard 1 ' * His doctors have ordered King George VI of England, who has been suffering from gastric lnflnenxa, to remain in bed for the preeent, tho hi* condition Is Improve(C^TTr MM: I: ' ' ?

"Uncle Moses lay on a cot In the railroad station and. with great effort, made startling replies to Questions. As emphatically as he could, ho declared."1 wasn't a Rebel. 1 was a Yank Why? Because 1 was a Republican." HU statement surprised even hla attendant. M. D. Hawkins, who also Uvea at the same village. Denny, In Wilkes county. "Why." ho exclaimed, "I thought all the time he was a Confederate, at the renunion. we put him in a gray tent, with the Rebels, or course. Being 9p feeble, he didn't see many people, and only got out twice during the whole tline. But I never knew he was a Yankee before." Struggling to keep his pale bluo eyes open, the aged veteran lay on his cot and fingered his gray moustache with tapering, time-worn hands. "My father voted for Lincoln, he said. "We didn't want to leave the Uulou, but our neighbors did, the) were Democrats and Rebels.' _Mr. Triplett was only 18, he said.' when he Joined the Union army under Oeneial Sherman In 1864. Though i most Tar Heels sided with their state. | he was one of the several mountain people who, living Independently.] saw no reason to help the plantation owners farther south In their fight against the Union that the mountain ] leers loved.

Everything in the veteran's statements combined to prove beyond a doubt that his memory is right?he is positive he was a Yankee, for the Rebel shell was hard to forget.

Arriving without a passport, or permit to land In Ireland, the 31-yearold Irish-American was held In "open detention" at the American legation pending an investigation of his status. | Corrigan, grinning broadly as he | explained ho "thought ho was flying to Los Angeles," offered little help to baffled Irish and American legation officials. United States Minister John CudI ahy kept him as a "guest" at the j American legation until he could | c lear up doubts as to his status. The question of Corrlgan's passport merely added to the general confusion surrounding his unprecedented trip across the Atlantic in a plane that had been "outluwod" for ocean flying by the United States department of commerce. Corrigan dropped down on Baldon-, nell airport this afternoon, 2.8 hours] and 18 minutes out of New York, in| a plane that was wired together In places with baling wire, had no navigating instruments or radio, and was guided only by a compass that "pointed backwards." The flier, -grinning as he stepped from the cabin, told surprised airfield officials that he had "Just flown from New York." "I thought I was flying to Loa Angeles," he said. He had taken off from Floyd Bennett field, New York, at 5:17 a. m.,j BDT, Sunday and arrived here at 2:30 p. m. (9:30 a. m.. BDT). His arrival was the first news anyone had that he was not on his way to California, and according to Corrigan, he hadn't known the difference either. "I must be a bum navigator." he said. Aviation enthusiasts hailed his arrival as one of the most remarkable flying feats ever accomplished. His plane had no navigating Instruments, no parachute, no radio, and he had neither permission to fly the Atlantic nor a passport to show when he landed. Corrigan insisted, grinning as he did it, that he really expected to land in California. "I left New York to return to Los Angeles," he said, "but by an unfortunate mistake I set my compass wrong, and when I got up above the clouds the visibility was very bad." He saldaafter he had flown "a^out 25 hours" he thought he ought to be over California, so he went down to take a look and there, to hta surprise, was the Irish coast. "I saw some fishing smacks which did not appear familiar, 1 cruised around a while, thinking I was neat: California, but the landscape appeared entirely different. I (low Inland and discovered what I thought must bo Ireland."
