HITCHING POST IDIOM
Finding of the ancient stones in an
abandoned graveyard in the upper
part of the state, which is thought
may solve the mystery of the disap
pearance of the early colony on Roa
noke Island, brings to mind another
mystery that puzzled a settlement
on the Texas border a few years
ago. A board, badly decayed, was
unearthed and bore the inscription
as near as it could be read up and
down, was:
TOT I
EMUL
ESTO
Spanish students, heiroglyphics
experts and ancient history profes
sors knotted their brows over the
puzzle. One day a cowboy from a
neighboring ranch came in. He solv
ed it. A saloonkeeper with a promo
tional idea, like a chamber of com
merce provides parking places, had
a sign up in front of his place. He
had ideas of his own about printing.
His board was a bit narrow, so he
used it up and down instead of
horizontal, and the cowpuncher read
it this way: TO TIE MULES TO.—

WILL TRADE IN COLUMBIA
“I’m "oing to Columbia hereafter
to do m'y trading,” said Hayne Folk
Saturday. “No matter if the pur
chase is only 25 or 30c I’m going to
Columbia after it.” Mr. Folk is irk
ed because a city policeman made
him show his driver’s license before
issuing him a courtesy card. Mr.
Folk said he did not object to show
ing his license if everyone else was
required to do so, but that such was
not th case. He said he saw others
request and receive the cards on the
day of his experience and none were
asked to exhibit their license. , Ask
ed which cop he dealt with Mr. Folk
said he did not know, but that the
man appeared to be a “new man
around here.” Mr. Folk said he was
in Columbia subsequently to the
above incident and that a Columbia
cop issued him a card in a very
courteous manner and without ques
tion of any kind. Mr. Folk stated
further that as a rule he parked his
car somewhere in the vicinity of
“Gravel Town” owing to parking re
strictions here and did his trading
at outlying stores when he started
home. On the day he was offended
someone with him requested that he
park uptown, with the above results.

Hare Opens Office
To Serve District
Upon his arrival from Washington
last week, Congressman Butler B.
Hare opened offices in the Able
building here for transaction of the
business of his office. His capable
secretary, J. E. Craig, of Anderson,
and his equally efficient stenograph
er, Miss Dorothy Hiott of Ware
Shoals, after spending a few days
in their respective homes last week
have arrived and are being kept
quite busy looking after the routine
of the office.
Mr. Hare plans to spend a week
or more in each county of the dis
trict during the summer looking af
ter matters he has not been able to
complete by correspondence, such as
veterans claims on compensation, ex
tension of rural delivery service,
etc. The chances are there will be
an increased number of claims by
widows of World war veterans, un
der a recent law, which gives wid
ows of veterans rights to compensa
tion where such veterans had a ser
vice connected disability regardless
of cause of death. Heretofore wid
ows were not entitled to compensa
tions unless the veteran died with a
service connected disability.—Saluda

Jury Says Hawkins
Death Accidental
The Prosperity city hall was the
scene of a largely attended inquest
Monday morning into the death of
Harold Hawkins, 20-year old farmer
and bus driver of the St. Lukes sec
tion of the county, who was killed in-
stantly early Saturday morning
while on an opossum hunt with a
number of friends near his home.
The coroner’s jury rendered the
verdict that Hawkins “came to his
death by a pistol shot in the hands
of Lindsay Bedenbaugh, said shoot
ing being unintentional and accident
al.”
Witnesses at the inquest stated
that Bedenbaugh, a member of the
hunting party, supposedly fired a re
volver three times into the air. As
the 'third shot was fired, young
Hawkins fell mortally wounded.
Other members of the hunting party
included W. P. Bedenbaugh, J. R.
Bedenbaugh, Woodrow Bedenba|ugh,
McFall Bedenbaugh, Everette Kibler,
and Carroll Hamm. The shooting
occurred about 2:30 Saturday rooppr
ing.
Bedenbaugh voluntarily took the
stand at the inquest and told brief
ly of shooting the pistol when the
boys heard a sound that scared
them. Visibly moved by the strain
of the accident Bedenbaugh almost
sobbed out the end of his story as
he told of Hawkins dying in his
arms. Hawkins and Bedenbaugh had
always been intimate friends, ac
cording to witnesses.
Funernt services were held Sunday
morning at the St, Luke’s Lutheran
church with the Rev. Virgil Long
officiating. Burial was in the ehurcfi
cemetery. He is survived by his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. Wilbur
Hawkins; tw 0 brothers, Thomas and
Bobby Hawkins; five sisters, Pauline,
Julia, Sara, Lottie, and June Haw
kins, all of the St. Luke’s community.

Letter Explains Newberry’s
Position
Editor Bill Eargle,
Saluda Standard
Saluda, S. C.
Dear Editor Eargle:
We know that informed persons
in your community have not misun
derstood Newberry’s efforts tp keep
Camp 7. We have waged an honor
able fight to prevent the removal of
this CCC, just as any live gommuni-
ty would do under similar circum
stances, We desired to keep the
camp for many good reasons. Pri
marily, because of their wonderful
work in soil conservation in our
county, and secondly on account of
the amount of money turned loose
in our community by this camp.
The people of Saluda are held in
high esteem by Newberrians and we
would not wish to keep our neighbor
county from getting anything worth
while. But as self preservation is
the first law of nature we, quite
naturally, hate to give up anything
which means as much to us as Camp
7 does, but if Newberry has to lose
Camp 7, or anything, we know of no
place we would rather receive it than
Saluda county. We know that we
express the sentiment of everyone
in Newberry.
Yours very truly,
Newberry Chamber of Commerce,
