As Mis 8 Hagood got to him he turned over on his hack. Putting her arm under his chin she kept his head above the water and started swim ming in with the hundred and seventy- five pound young man. A strong wind made it necessary for her to swim in gradually to shore. Becoming tired Miss Hagood chang ed position and treading water still keeping Mr. Huckabee up and finally leaching a place where the water was net'above her head she was able to stand and assist young Huckabee in standing. Mr. Hagood, it is said, hollered to a man near a life boat to hand him a rope which he quickly cut from the boat. Mr. Hagocd threw it out to his daughter and the rescued man and they were pulled in to safety. Members of a boy scout troop from Kingstree who were camping on the beach witnessed the occurrence and joined in with members of the Hucka bee ftmiiy and others in singing the praises of Miss Hagood and her won derful feat and also of Mr. Hagood • in saving the father of the young man.

W. Sanders.) When the tocsin of war sounded in till the war ended. Of these I recall 1861, no section rallied to the colors more promptly than Barnwell Dis trict. From the ploughshare, the school room, the office, the place of meichandise, the mart of every trade and the business of every profession, her young men and boys flocked to the Stars and Bars. From no school room, perhaps, in the whole of Barn well District was there so large and so quick a response to our country’s call as from that of Professor Ben jamin W. Jenkins, who had previously conducted a fine academy at Hayes Crossroads but was now teaching a large school in the Big Fork at what was commonly spoken of as the John Creech School House. It wa s just a ! Basil M. Jenkins, Henry Moody, John T. Hogg and R. W. Sanders. And again there may have been a few others, too young to enter the service at the beginning but who afterwards weie enrolled. It may be interesting to the readers to know something of the fate, so to speak, of those whose names are and the present writer (alteady refer red to), Henry Walker, “Ned” Hazel, John Pressy, “Moaa” Pressy and “Bil lie” Riley. Buford’s Bridge Reunion. The annual Bufrrd’s bridge reunion was held at Mizpah Methodist church last Thursday. The attendance was not as large as usual, probably due to a slight misunderstanding as to the date. In order that this misun- dei standing may not recur in the fu ture it was voted to have the reunion every year on the fourth Thursday in July as a definite date. The president, Harry Mixscn, of given above. John Harley, William Harrod and "Med" Myriek were killed ] Charleston, was present and presided in Virginia, and “Gus” Sanders was killed at Pocotaligo, S. C. E. B. Sanders was severely wound ed and captured in North Carolina. Jas. A.

The principal ad dress of the occasion was delivered by Congressman Thomas S. McMillan, of Charleston. Several other- brief talks were made by various visitors. Officers reelected were Harry Mix- son, president, and J. Gordon Brab ham, of Olar, secretary and treasurer. A bountiful picnic dinner was spread on the grounds at noon. Dur ing the day the members of the old families of that section mingled to gether, renewing old associations. An interesting feature of the re union was the display of antiques by Otis Brabham, of Allendale.

It can be blamed upon Columbus, ac cord! ns to Gregory Mason, explorer, writing In Country Home. Had Co lumbus followed tils original route 00 his subsequent trips, the civilization tlmt Is now the United States might have been founded upon the Mayan race, which represents the oldest civi lization In the world. Mason declares that Columbus, on his fourth voyage in 1502, encountered a Maya merchant off ttie coast of Honduras, but instead of going to the merchant’s land, he turned his prow in another direction and left it to de spoiling Spaniards of another day to find and crush the last remnants of a great civilization that once thrived there. The Mayas, says the writer, were the most highly civilized of all the red skinned natives of America before the white men came, and might have provided the ready-made foundation for a new white race, whereas the hardly settlers of the north had to cane out their own foundations from the wilderness.
