ed. So he got in communication with
Dr. Pearce.
In June Dr. Pearce and his son
made an investigation. They found |
the information was correct, so they
bought the hill, hired a gang of lab
orers and started digging. All told,
they recovered 14 inscribed stones.
The newly acquired stones relate
that the colonists travelled about
350 miles southwestward from the
North Carolina coast and estab-
ished a camp or stockade near the
Saluda river which they occupied for
at least two years. In 1591, the mes
sages reveal, 17 of the remaining 24
colonists were massacred by the In-
lians. The 17 victims, including
Virginia Dare and her husband,
Ananias, were listed on one of the
slabs. The seven survivors moved
on further southwestward, pea'haps
into what is now Georgia.

thered by salvage,” 24 checks with

lists of colonists as conveyed in a
letter to Sir Walter R; iegh in 1587.
Reconciliations of the other names
with the official list, if poossible at
all, will require long investigation.
Discrepancies may be due to nick
names, forgotten names or aliases
among the colonists, it was pointed
out. ,
On one of the newly discovered
stones, presumably a message from
Eleanor Dare to her father, John
White, governor of Virginia, is the
news that the colonists go to the
southwest with four good “liemen”
(liegemen). The Indians “shew
moche merceye,” are “god sourdious.”
and promise to bring the colonists to
the governor. On the same stone is
carved the notation “ with moche la
bour wee putt certain names heyr.”
On another stone Eleanor instructs
her father to look at the bark of trees
the colonists having left “certain
signe amang thame.”
However, it was the first stone,
discovered in North Carolina, that
told the most complete story. Free
ly translated, this message read:
“Father, soon after you went to
England we came hither. Only
misery and war for two years- Above
half dead ere two years more from a
sickness, 24 surviving. A savage with
message of ship came to us. He re
ported that after small space of time
the savages, afraid of revenue, had
run away from the island. 'We be
lieve it was not you. Soon after
this, the savages, feigning that the
spirits were angry, suddenly murd
ered all save seven of us. My child
(Virginia) and Ananais too were
slain with much misery. We buried
all about four miles east of this
river upon a small hill. Names are
all written there upon a rock. To
any savage who will show this unto
you and show this unto you and
show you hither we promised to give
great plenty presents.”
Raliegh founded the colony at
Roanoke Island. Governor White
left in 1587 or England. When he
returned in 1591, the colony had van
ished.
Excavations are being made in the
burial ground, but it is considered
extremely doubtful that any bones
will be found after three and one-
half centuries owing to the damp
ness of the ground.
Replicas of the original “Dare
Stone,” found in North Carolina and
the grave marker of Virginia and
Ananias Dare are now on exhibit at
the New York World’s Fair.
To determine the authenticity of
the stones will necessarily be a
lengthy process. Meanwhile, the
1,118 pounds of carveo rock have
created a sensation, and the 14 slabs
are being examined by experts.—An

WHY NOT A BUILDING PRO
GRAM FOR THIRD-CLASS
POST OFFICES?
Representative Butler B. Hare, of
South Carolina, in a measure intro
duced by him, known as H. R. 3799,
acftocates a program under WPA
work in the construction of public
buildings. The proposal, he states,
would have a twofold purpose: first,
to provide employment for the un
employed; second, to provide suit
able buildings to accommodate sec
ond- and third-class post offices and
other local agencies of the govern
ment.
It is claimed by Mr. Hare that by
the erection of the post office build
ings the wealth of the Nation would
be increased by the value of such
buildings. At the same time it would
save the cost of annual rentals now
paid for such accommodations.
He stated further, “Another ar-
ument favoring this measure is that
the type of buildings contemplated,
when erected in our small towns and
village®, will be an incentive to civic
pride on the part of the patrons of
the office and vicinity.
“In adopting the proposed policy
or brilding program, it would mean
the Government ;is undertaking to
provide definite and worthwhile pro
rams in the way of work relief. That
is, it would mean the elimination or
abandonment of a hit-and-miss kind
of policy to aid and assist those who
are absolutely in need of work. To
repeat, it is a policy with two defi
rate and distinct ideas in mind—one
to fumsh employment to those who
are in need, and at the same time
will be a type of employment from
which the Government and the coun
try will obtain a return from the mo
ney spent in the way of added na
tional wealth.”
The league officers maintain it
should not be overlooked that in ad
vocating an extensive building pro
gram in these times the Government
would not only be able to provide
permanent post office quarters, which
has long been and is urgently needed,
but in so doing would be making a
substantial contribltion to industry
and employment in hundrecs of com
munities.
While there is and has been for
several years a Federal building pro
gram, this has been confined to the
larger towns and cities of the coun
try. Such a movement as proposed
by Representative Hare wouid prove
economical to the Government and
wou’d result in permanent and bet
ter post office quarters. It would
not be necessary to erect expensive
buildings in these smaller towns, but
a standardized post office building,
which would easily be enlarged, if
necessary, could be erected at a very
small cost.
There are approximately 6,200
third- class post offices between the
salary grades of $1,600 and $2,2,300.

MRS. CLARY HONORED
AT TUESDAY PARTY
Mrs. Roy Clary, bride of this June,
was honored at a party Tuesday af
ternoon given by Mrs. Frank Mower
and daughters, Miss Rachael Mower
and Miss Helen Mower.
Summer flowers, creating a yellow
color note, were used in the rooms
where tables were arranged for
hearts.
The top score prize at hearts went
to Miss Frances Edwards of Darling
ton. When bingo was played, Miss
Heic-n Clary won the award. A set
of handmade kitchen towels were
presented Mrs. Clary.
Refreshments, London Smoak and
cookies, were served late in the af
ternoon by the host asses assisted by
Mrs. W. C. Schenck and Mrs. Paul
Bain.
Out-of-town guests included Miss
Edwards, who is visiting her sister,
Mrs. W. E. Dargan, a recent bride
and newcomer to Newberry; Miss
Mary Spann Richardson of Summer-
ton; and Miss Sara Perry of Tim
mousville, visitors of Miss Virginia
Dickinson at her country home.
It is believed that adequate post of
fice buildings and equipment could
be erected in these towns at a cost
of $4,000 to $10,000, or an average
cost of $7,000. The total cost of
such a project would be approximate
ly $40, 000,000.
It is estimated that the cost of
leasing and renting post office quar
ters for these offices average the
Government $700 annually, or a to
tal of approximately $4,000,000. If
this amount was applied to the erec
tion of these buildings, the entire
cost would be amortized within 10
years, from the saving of rentals
paid.
Under the present plan of leasing
quarters and equipment, the Govern
ment is getting no nearer the owner
ship at the end of 10 years than at
the beginning.
The construction of a great number
of small post office buildings would
necessarily increase the manufacture
of building materials, the manufac
tore of post office equipment, and
would result in the employment of
hundreds or thousands of laborers
throughout the country, decreasing
to a very great extent the unemploy
ment situation.
In the small cities and towns the
cost of real estate would be a very
small item, as in many oases civic
organizations and patriotic groups
would furnish to the Government,
without cost, or for very little cost,
such real estate as was necessary for
this commendable purpose.—Postmas
ters’ Advocate for July, 1939.

The tenth annual Poultry Short
Course will be held at Clemson col
lege August 22-24th. This course
will afford the busy farmer an op
portunity to get more information
on the fundamentals of poultry rais
ing.
A Bee Short Course will be held
at Clemson August 23-24th. For
further information about either of
these call at the Extension office.
Clemson is a good place to spend
a short vacation, so why not make
plans to visit your Agriculture Col
lege and at the same time take ad
vantage of the opportunity to attend
the Short Course. There are no re
quirements for entrance and there
will be no charge for the use of the

There has been an unusual amount
of wheat grown in the county this
year, and with this large crop has
come requests for ways to use home
grown whole wheat. Few people
realize the food value of whole wheat
products and the ease with which
they may have them. They know
even less about the really grand fla
vor of these products. The whole
grain may be cooked and used as a
breakfast cereal or instead of rice
or grits at any meal. It is superior
in food value to rice and grits and
many users prefer the taste.
To cook the whole grain stir 1
cup of wheat into 4 cups of salted
boiling water and cook 3 or 4 hours.
The wheat may be cracked and parch
ed in the oven before cooking and
this reduces the cooking time to 30
minutes.
Whole wheat flour may be ground
at any grist mill and should not be
sifted. Try one of the following
recipes:
Whole Wheat Biscuits
3 cups whole wheat flour
3 tsp. baking powder
% cup fat
% tsp. salt
1 cup sweet milk.
(% tsp. soda and 1 cup butter
milk may be substituted for the bak
ing powder and sweet milk). Mix
and bake in a hot oven. (450 dg.)
Whole Wheat Muffins
2 cups whole wheat flour
% tsp. salt.
1 cup milk
4 tsp. baking powder
1 egg
3 T. sugar
V* cup fat
Melt shortening. Put all ingred
ients in a bowl and mix lightly. Pour
into greased muffin pans and bake
in a moderately hot oven. (375dg.)

FECUNDITY
So much publicity has been given
the Dionne quintuplets born to
French-Canadian parents the aver
age individual is almost forced to
the conclusion that this is the first
time such an event has taken place.
A search of medical records, how
ever,. shows th^t while it is rather
unusual, it has been duplicated many
times and in several instances ex
ceeded.
Some years, ago a woman in May-
field, Kentucky, had six babies with
in four hours, two of them are still
alive. More recently a slender farm
woman living near Mendon, Mo.,
aged 36, presented her husband with
five boys and one girl, the little girl
bom first, and weighing ten pounds.
All of the little ones were prema
turely born, which is typical of mul
tiple births.
Not very long ago three boys and
three girls were bom," at intervals
of a half hour, to a 22-year-old wo
man in North Dakota, all but one
dying within twenty-four hours af
terwards.
It is rather strange that rural dis
tricts are more prolific In this re
spect than urban centers—just why
no one can say.
Other medical writers incline to
the belief that the birth rate of this
type is influenced hy warm climates,
and fortify their statements by fig
ures, but nevertheless, it is true that
Sweden, a cold country, leads the
world in large families, while Ice
land, within the Arctic Circle, aver
aged twenty children to every mar
ried couple until a plague swept over
the country, which decimated the
population.
In Canada, where land is given to
every mother of twelve or more
chi’dren, in one year 1,742 women
qualified for this bounty, while one
family with 36 children received a
substantial bonus for its donation to
the population.
There have been many cases of
quintuplets bom in France, Silesia,
Austria, Saxony, Russia, England,
and Italy while the early Greeks
and Roman writers on medical top
ics refer numerous times to such
births among their countrywomen.
In Rome, there was recently a
woman named Flavia Granata, who
in twenty-six years presented her
spouse with 41 daughters and 21
sons. When married she was twenty-
eight years of age.
Mrs. 'Mary Austin, wife of a
Washington, D. C., policeman, dur
ing her thirty years of married life
had 44 children—all sons.
In 1924, an Italian mother had
sextuplets and a medical missionary
reports the case of a Kaffir woman
having six babies within three hours.
Only a few years ago a peasant’s
wife in Silesia bad sextuplets and
later gave birth to 38 other babies,
only three being girls.
