Let’s Compromise. \ The Lee County Messinger is in clined to blame the lawmakers for “ruining” South Carolina. Tut, tut! We wouldn’t go as far as that. Let’s compromise and continue to blame it on Herb Hoover—he says he’s not a candidate this year. Strange As It May Seem— Or Believe It or Not, we learn from last, week’s issue of the Walterboro Press and Standard, edited by that militant prohibitionist, Brother W. W. Smoak, dubbed the “Bishop of Colie ton” by Editor Dreher, of the Cal houn Times, that Walterboro has been tentatively selected as the site for a liquor distillery. In fact, the city fathers have gone so far as to name a price for an old factory building to the promoters. Sticking to his guns and prohibition principles, Edlitor Smoak ha s fired a broadside at the proposed new indus try and we learn further from his ex cellent newspaper that he has the backing of ministers and other in fluential citizens in his effort to shoo the proposed new birthplace of Demon Rum from fair Walterboro. Hampton County, just acros s the Saltkehatchie swamp from Colleton, has long been noted for the excellence of its rye “likker” and if memory serves us right Banker Bowers once made a loan on a bootlegger’s still. Perhaps the proper encouragement can be foundi there. N. A. Patterson. The many Barnwell County friends of N. A. Patterson, 87, prominent planter of the Western section of Barnwell County, will regret to l^arn di his sudden death on Monday night in Dunbarton. Mr. Patterson died while talking over the telephone fn the home of Mr. Rountree at Dunbarton. While the deceased* i s a native of Barnwell County and has a plantation near Dunbarton, due to ill health of re cent years he has been dividing his time between Bamewll County and Estill, here his daughter, Mrs. J. H. Mixson, makes her home. Mr. Pat terson had been to Allendale to spend the day with his sister and was en route to his home when death overtook him in Dunbarton. His passing will be a great shock to those who knew him, as he was still very active for a man of hi s years. Mr. Patterson wa s a teacher for nearly aO years. He was born in Barnwell County May 22, IS-lO, the son of Edward and Sarah Patterson. He was the oldest of nine childVen, and was educated and passed by the bar association to the practice of law, but never practiced that profession to any extent, entering the teaching profes sion instead. During the War Between the States he a> too young to be conscripted but ran away at the age of 14 to join the army, taking his father’s fastest steed in ordler to make quick his escape. However, hi s lather overtook him and brought him back home, but on his second attempt he was successful and joined the Missouri Volunteers, Con federate Calvary Division. According to Dr. A. C. Moore’s roll of s tudents of the South Carolina Col lege, Mr. Patterson was the oldest Alumnus in the State, he having been graduated 1 in the class of 1873. Mr. Patterson is survived by two daughters, Mrs. J. H. Mixson and Mrs. Mamie Sue Kohagan, both of Estill; om son, Angus Patterson, of Hardee- ville; two brothers, Dr. A. B. Pat terson, of Barnwell an dDr. A. A. Patterson, of Allendale; three sisters, Mrs. James M. Patterson, of V lien- dale; Mrs. Nannie Burkett and Mrs. Sarah Tillinghast, of Atlanta, Ga.; several grandthildren and nieces and nephews. * -' & Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at five o’clock with inter ment following in the old Baptist cemetery in Barnwell beside the grave of his parents, who pre-deceased him many year s ago. Pennsylvania Deparment of Revenue to substatiate his belief that many accidents are caused by improper lubrication or by tfie lack of lubrica tion. In analyzing this report, Mr. Hobart said, “Out of 80,488 motor ve hicles involved in accidents, over 90 per cent, were apparently in good condition. The condition of drivers in approximately 40 per cent, of the ac cidents was apparently normal. From these facts the conclusion may 'be drawn that accident 8 involve machines which have sotqe mechanical imper fection, even though they may appear to be in perfect condition.” Many persons who are driving what they consider to be safe cars are real ly chauffeuring vehicles that are ac cident hazards. The lack of proper lubrication, or improper lubrication causes concealed part s 6f the steer ing mechanism, shackle bolts, drag links and! wheel spindles to become so worn that a sudden turn or bump in the road may cause them to snap is left to bring back to control a ve hicle that threaten to involve itself as well as others, in a seriou s acci dent. Do your part to reduce accidests in Barnwell County. If your car has not been lubricated recently, perhaps you, too, are unknowingly driving an unsafe car. Play safe—Lubricate for Safety!
