Sixty-four years ago tomorrow, on January 30, 1867, Manse Jolly, Anderson’s own, terrified the fed eral garrison and political para sites of this town by one of his most daring escapades. Not only did he brazenly insult Yankee army officers, but actually defied them to catch him—and they didn’t. Mounted on a snow-white char ger and accompanied by a friend Jolly rode fearlessly into Anderson that morning despite a $10,000 re ward offered for his capture, dead or alive. His mission was to see a certain Captain Bartow, whose men had searched the Jolly home the previous day and stolen a watch, the property of Jolly’s sist er. • The natives of the town recog nized Jolly and, knowing his re putation as a Yankee killer, sens ed that something out of the or dinary was impending. Members of the federal garrison, on the other hand, did not know Jolly from Adam’s house cat. although they had searched for him on numer ous occasions. The soldiers, there fore, did not pay an especial at tention to the man on the white charger, being confident that a bushwhacker with a $10,000 reward on his head would not show him self near the headquarters of his avowed enemies. After inquiring around, Jolly learned that Captain Bartow was stopping at the Benson House, a hotel which stood where the Sul livan Hardware Company is now located. Riding around to this place, Jolly asked for the captain. A man sitting in a rocking chair on the front piazza was pointed out to him. “Are you Captain Bartow?” ask ed Jolly, addressing the army of ficer. “I am,” replied the officer. “What can I do for you, my man?” “Well, I understand there is a $10,000 reward for Manse Jolly?” The officer laughed. “There is” he chuckled, “I suppose you have him in a sack, or something of the sort?” “Oh, no,” retorted Jolly, “but I know where he is.” “Where?” ‘Here. I’m him!” The officer turned white and almost fell out of the chair. He made an effort to say something, but words failed him. “Now see here,” continued Jolly, “one of those blue-coated scoun drels you lead around the country looking for me stole my sister’s watch yesterday. If that watch is not returned within forty-eight hours I’ll kill a dozen Yankees, in cluding you. Do you understand, Captain Bartow?” The officer gulped and nodded, Jolly gave his horse a slap and at the same time snatched out a revolver—Wham! A bullet splin tered the woodwork just above Bartow’s head. Wham! Wham! Two more hunks of lead creashed into the house. Bartow hurled himself through a window. With reckless abandon Jolly and his friend dashed through the town, firing and shooting. A pur suit was immediately organized, but of no avail. Jolly, as usual, made good his escape. His immu nity from capture was probably due to the fears.of his enemies, who frequently played safe by rid ing in the opposite direction from which their quarry had taken. The daring escapade recounted above was one of Jolly’s first ex ploits. Others followed in rapid succession, each more reckless than the preceding. These adven tures have been compiled into a volume and published under the title, “A Maid of the Foothills,” by Daniel. The scene of the story is laid in Anderson and vicinity and, as a whole, is historically true. By referring to the files of an old Anderson newspaper, one finds an account of the ride of Janua ry 30, 1867, which reads, in part, 10623 R. A. Prioe, Operation of Ferry 12.00 10624 T. J.

It seems that early Tuesday morning the youth rode into town, halted at various places made many enquiries and finally began an assault of words, punc tuated by bullets, upon the officers of the garrison, making their ex it from the town immediately thereafter. “Pursuit was given by officers and soldiers of the garrison, but the ‘So-called’ eluded tjieir pur suers and returned to town, fol lowed by Colonel Smith and some of his men on foot. The chase con tinued up McDuffie street and across the southwest part of town, where several citizens united with the soldiers and drove the invad ers beyond the limits of our in corporation. “For a while the excitement grew intense; groups of men here and there discussed the subject and any number of suggestions were made to effect the capture of the dashing riders. One after an other returned from ‘the front’ and fresh couriers were dispatched to the scene of action. In the af ternoon another party started in pursuit, divided into two small squads and going in opposite di rections. “One of these squads composed of three citizens encountered the ‘So-called’ about three miles from the village on the Brown’s Ferry road, and promptly essayed their capture, but the pursuit was brought to a dead halt by the youths dismounting and taking to the woods, where, under cover of the thick growth, they made good their escape.” Gov. Blackwood Appeals For Forest Fire Prevention From the very beginning the in dustries of South Carolina have been connected directly or indi rectly with her forest lands and their products. Today but a few hundred thousand acres remain of that splendid virgin forest that once covered practically our en tire State—3,000,000 acres are now lying idle and over nine million acres are only producing a small part of what they should. Aband oned saw mills, idle acres, decreas ed payrolls, idle farm lands, high taxes, and a practically extinct naval stores industry have follow ed in the part of the lumberman and the operator. The practice of woods burning is in a very large measure respon sible for this condition. As a re sult of this practice, baby trees are killed by the millions, the growth is retarded on the older trees, hardwoods are scarred and subjected to attacks of i isects and fungi, soil fertility is destroyecT and nature is prevented from replen ishing out most valuable natural resource. Therefore it behooves every citi zen of this State during this sea son of the year to use all possible precaution with fire in the vicinity of woodlands and I take this method of calling this important matter to your attention to thd end that the practice of woods burning may be eliminated, idle acres made more productive, and our vast forest area once more re stored to productivity as an asset instead of a liability. I. C. BLACKWOOD, Governor. txt ——txt In The Low Priced Volume Field Few things are sacred to the costly cars any more except size and custom bodies, points out D. E. Ralston, assistant general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company. Volume has made possible such tremendous purchasing advantages that scarcely has a new feature been introduced on a high priced car before a means has been found to incorporate it in the low priced volume field, according to the Chevrolet executive. “Witness the radiator screen grille,” Mr. D. E. Ralston pointed out. “Popularized by one of America’s finest cars, it became standard equipment within a year on every sport model in the new Chevrolet line. The adjustable driver’s seat won enthusiastic en dorsement when it made its public appearance on one of the higher priced cars, yet in no time at all it became a feature of every Fisher- Chevrolet body. “Time was, and not so very long ago, when the purchase of a low priced car meant a further size able outlay upon delivery of that car for ‘extras.’ The owner had to go out and buy his own speed ometer, klaxon, shock absorbers rear vision mirror, windshield cleaner and many other items not included in the list price. To day, he gets not only those ac cessories; but in certain Chevro let models ash trays, silk assist cords, arm and foot rests, robe rails, window curtains and a host of other fine car features are in cluded in the list price. “This trend of fine car features to the low priced field developed, only within the past few years. The feminine influence on car de sign gave impetus to the trend. But the thing that made it possible is the saving effected on tremend ous purchases of materials by the large manufacturer, which in turn enables him to put those savings back into the car in the interest of greater comfort and smartness.” X To make jellied prunes, first cook the prunes as usual. Wash half a pound of plump prunes and soak them overnight in water to covor. Simmer until tender in the same water. Remove the stones and chop or cut the fruit very fine. Soak 2 tablespoons or one envelope of gelatin in 1-2 cup of cold water. Add 2 cups boiling water and stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Add 1 cup of sugar, 1-4 cup of lemon juice, 1-8 teaspoon salt, and the cooked, chopped prunes. Stir un til well blended. Chill, stirring oc casionally until the fruit is well mixed. When set, serve with whip ped cream. The pulp of one or ange may be added if desired. Agricultural Credit Corporations Being Formed COLUMBIA, Feb. 9.—“The Feder- al Intermediate Credit Bank of Co lumbia, since its organization in. 1923 has made direct loans to far mers’ co-operative marketing as sociations with membership of ap proximately 385,000 individuals," said Frank H. Daniel, president of the bank, here today. “In addition, it has discounted more than 22,009 farmers notes given to local lend ing institutions, the proceeds of the loans being used for agricul tural or livestock purposes. These notes were made to 14 agricultural credit corporations in North Caro lina, 29 in South Carolina, 22 in Georgia and 8 in Florida and te 23 banks. Some of these farmeik have borrowed from these local in stitutions several times during the last 7 years. Agricultural credit corporations are now in the pro cess of formation at Columbia, Su C., Savannah, Ga., and Valdosta. Ga. In addition, at least several other communities are now con sidering the organization of such corporations for the extention of agricultural credit. “The tobacco growers co-opera tive, which has borrowed upon its notes backed up by warehouse re ceipts on its tobacco, has an esti mated membership of 40,000, the peanut co-operative about 10,009 members, the five cotton growers^ co-operatives about 334,000, while the canned fruits and vegetable association has a membership of about 3334,000, while the canned 200 farmers. Thus The Federal In termediate Credit Bank of Colum bia has been of service to a large number of farmers to. date. “During the last year it discount ed farmers’ notes for local institu tions amounting to $5,087,335 and its loans to co-operative marketing 1 associations aggregated $15,584,259. “Last year marked the greatest volume of business yet transacted by The 12 Federal Intermediate Credit Banks,” continued Mr. Dan iel. “It totaled about $218,000,000, a- bout equally divided between loans to farmers’ co-operative marketing associations and discounts of fann ers’ notes given to local lending in stitutions. This represented a large increase during the year in loans t# co-operatives and a constant growth in discounts.” X Plan to cut about 50 per cent more ice this winter than will act ually be needed during the year ok. the dairy farm. This allows for heavy shrinkage. A cubic foot of ice weighs about 57 pounds. A ton of ice needs about 45 cubic feet of space. From 1-2 to 1 ton of ice per cow is needed annually for cooling cream and from 1 1-2 te 2 tons per cow for cooling milk.
