Notice To Old
Soldiers and Widows
I have just received a voucher
from the Comptroller General for
the sum of Nine Hundred Fifty-
Two ($952.00) Dollars, which is the
third twenty-five per cent payment
of the 1933 pension for Old Soldiers
and Widows in McCormick County.
This amount is allotted as fol
lows: To four veterans, $51.00
each; to twenty-two widows, $34.00
each. This makes in each twenty-
five per cent payment, $204.00 for
the veterans and $748.00 for the
widows. There is only one colored
man on the list in the county and
he receives $25.00 per annum which
was paid to him in August. My in
formation is that the last payment
will be made as soon as the State
collects enough revenue to take
care of same, so could not say just
what date the last payment will ar
rive, but will assure you that I will
notify you and get the checks out
promptly.

McCorhiick Plans.
Home Coming Day
• Plans are being completed for
the great “Home Coming Day” here
on Friday, Nov. 3rd, when the com
munity house will be dedicated.
Mrs. Nell A. Stallworth, chairman
of the program, committee, say a
that people all over the county are
showing a beautiful spirit of co
operation in helping make this the
greatest day McCormick has had
in many years. Prominent citizens
in the various sections have agreed
to take part in the “Parade of
Progress,” down Main street that
morning preceeding the formal ded
ication service in the city park.
This parade will depict the history
of this section from early colonial
days, showing the progress made
through methods of transportation
Gov. Blackwood has accepted an
invitation to be present and many
other outstanding citizens of the
state will be here. The Clemson
band is expected, says Sheriff W.
T. Strom, chairman of the Music
Committee. Everyone who has ev
er lived in McCormick has a very
special invitation to come “home
on that day and bring all their
friends along.
Mr. J. L. Caudle, chairman of the
barbecue committee, is arranging
for a real southern ’cue and no
effort is being spared in planning
a day that no one interested in Mc
Cormick will want to miss.
The Community House is a beau
tiful log structure with one large
assembly room, a dining room,
kitchen and two dressing rooms.
The cracks between the logs are
chincked with cement and the in
side is left in a rustic finish with
two very large open fireplaces. This
is one of the many projects of the
local R. F. C. council of which Dr.
C. K. Epting is now general chair
man. The material was donated
by various organizations and indi
viduals. The building is a credit to
McCormick.

Community House

One room will be us$d for this
display and everyone having any
thing of interest, is asked to bring

fire-arms, old letters and papers

the articles on display. The com
mittee requests that the relics be in
