SOU.000 persons, exclusive of the men In the armed forces were employed by federal stute and local governments of the United States In December, 1941, B5-?K??? Mail Service at Liberty Hill (Contributed) Win n changes lake place, the mind often goes back over a period of yearn Thin in the caae now when at Liberty Hill, C D Cunningham relirea an postmaster after twentyfour yearn of loyal and faithful service. From reliable Information wo have the statement that during He c'onatructlon days and under He publican administration, a one-eyed Negro citizen Pate Ualther?waa ap pointed poatmaster here. He. used some of the post off Ice funds Illegally, so waa put In Jail. During his term, the late Col. L. J. Patterson did not care to get his null through the Liberty, Hill office. *o had a box in Camden. His devoted friend*--the late Rev. John (). Richards and family got their mail In his box there. Col. Patterson's wagon made two or more trips 4^ij|emden weekly to get provisions sobrought the mall. We remember the late Stephen Richards was postmaster for some years, and for a part of his term a currier brought the mall to Liberty Hill from Lancaster one day, went on to Camden, came back the following day on return trip to luncaster. He made his arrival known by blowing a bugle. After Mr. Richards' death his wife. Mrs. Lily McKalu Richards took over the work. 8he was followed by the late F. J. Hay. During many years of this time, the mall was carried to and from Heath Springs by a faithful colored citizen named Wyatt James. He used a two wheel cart and sat on the mall bag. The late J. It. Johnson, succeeded Mr. Hay, then followed the late W. A. Cunningham, then C. I). Cunningham. In the early 90's G. R. Clements and his brother-in-law, Mr. Crelghton, both from Lancaster county be came carriers, but soon Mr. Clements moved here and he and his sons, John H. and ICddie, took over the work, and rendered faithful and excellent service until July 1940, except for four years when N. 8. Richards and the late Dr. J. Prioleau Richards had the contract. A part of this time two colored men were hired to walk to and from Heath Springs to carry the mall. 4 When Wyatt James and the Messrs. Clements were carriers It was really some Job to make the trip of over thirteen miles to and from Heath Springs. It was an all day trip over a muddy, Blippery, unpaved road, and In all kisds of weather? sun. rain, wind and snow. Often Mr. Clements rode horseback, went In a buggy or used a two-horse wagor. Only in recent years did he use a car As this route Is a Star Route, the carrier Is allowed to haul things besides the mall and we don't think and Star Route carrier anywhere In the nation could have been or 1s more obliging than the Messrs. Clements. Why either one would bring a 5 cent cample of dress goods? R. jr. Wardlow Is uow our carrier and uses a tar for the trip to and from Heath Springs. Most of the way Is paved, and Mr. Wardlaw goes up and back in three hours. He, to<>, Is accommodating. The postofftce has been located In a small building on the former W.; K. Johnson property, now owned by C. IX Cunningham, and recently used as a library; also in a store owned and operated by the late Rev. John ! (X Richards, which wan situated on the old baseball ground, at the entrance to the" Presbyterian church This building was'fcurned. so the office was placed *t the old (ftftodwyn Jones store builiMhg?once owned by the late .tohi^fpown and now owned by G, R. Clements. When Messrs Hsy. Johnston and W. A. Cunningham were postmasters, the office wan In a small building owned by N. S. Richards at the foot of Johnston hill Here is where C. D. Cunningham took over In October 1918. From there the office was moved to the G. fR. Clements building, then to its present location?about the center of the village. It is Interesting to note that *over this period of years the mall has arrived at different hours?noon, late afternoon and night. When It care I In the late afternoon, during the fcthnmtyr time especially, the young people used to gather on the "Monkev Roost" and wait for the mail. Many are the good times had there during past years. "The Monkey Roost," about fifty feet long, Is built of granite slabs placed horizontally one on another, with two short granite posts about midway, eight or ten feet apart. It Is about three or four feet high In the center and tapers off at each end. to the level of the ground. It was made as a wall to keep the lap I from washing. This interesting place Is In front of the old John Brown residence now owned by Mrs. R. Charlton Jones. Miss Louise Johnston has been appointed our new postmistress and we extend best wishes to her and to opr present carrier, R. J. Wardlaw, afld feel sure that they will render efficient services as each of their predecessors dtif. Although the office Is in the fourth class, we Liberty Hilllan's consider"1 It a Number One!

Jan. 26?At the Pre* byterian church Hunday morning Elder B. J. tunpingham conductod Jj*6i service, reading scripture lesson Luke 7 -9: "Healing of the Kuler'a Son." The sermon by the Kev. W. C. Robinson treated the theme in h way to impress his hearers with the fact that faith is the real bedrock or foundation of the Christian religion. The manifestation of faith by the ruler was so great that the Savior spoke words of praise and Qommendution as well as healing the sick phild. Dr. R. VV.

Cunningham, superintendent, who announaH the special collection for Thornwell Orphanage the first Sunday in February. Chairman M. G. King, with.a number of assistants, was here on Friday to allow farmers to sign the farm contracts. Those assisting him were Messrs. McCallum and Rast, and Misses Hilda Owens, Grace King, Charlotte Lindler, Cleo Watts and Ellen Strak?-all together, composing a nice clever working force. Our people enjoy their occasional business visits here. Miss Jennie Jones, daughter of Mrs. R. C. Jones, takes much interest in the vegetable garden, as well as flowers. She supervises the planting and cultivation of the family garden, trying new kinds and varieties, as r well as old standard stocks. Some weeks ago she had some of the finest turnips, the golden ball variety, I ever saw. This week she cut a fall grown hard head of cabbage which weighed seven pounds. Quite a fine garden product for January in upper South Carolina. Miss Jones has been very successful with other garden products the past season, which has not been considered favorable for gardening in this section.
