It is always a good thing to have
something to aim at. So often we do
things at random without any reason
at all. Nutrition experts tell us that
we have eaten at random too long
and now it is time to awaken to the
fact that there are some rules that
we should go by.
Check your meals daily for these
foods:
1 pint to 1 quart milk
1 serving leafy, green, or yellow
vegetables
1 serving tomatoes, fresh raw cab
bage, citrus fruit, melons or
fresh raw thin green leafy veg
etables
1 serving Irish or sweet potatoes
2 or more servings other vegetables
or fruits
1 serving meat, poultry or fish.
1 serving dried beans, dried peas,
nuts, cheese or eggs (1 or at
least 3 or 4 eggs a week)
2 servings whole grain products
Butter (or margarine with vita
mins added)
Some sweets
6-8 glasses water.
To help us meet these require
ments we should follow this Canning
Budget as worked out for 1 person.
24 quarts vegetables
24 quarts fruits
20 qts. tomatoes and juice
4 qts. kraut
10 qts. meat
5 qts. preserves
3 gals, syrup or honey _
18 lbs. dried peas and beans.
We all want to be patriotic citi
zens—our government says plant
and can for defense.—Now is the
time—let’s not go to sleep on the
job. “Can, Can, Can all you can” i»
a good slogan for ^941.

Charleston to Augusta Line
Was Early Pioneer Railroad
Williston, Aug. 2.—Q. A. Kennedy,
Sr., discussing the proposal made by
the Southern Railway company that
they change the present passenger
train running through Williston to a
mixed train, recalled that this line
was the first of any length to be
built in the world. The history of
this Charleston to Augusta railroad
is a story that tells of the hardships
encountered during the railroad’s
pioneering days.
Before the institution of slavery
became dominant in the Southern
States, the people of the South
were as enterprising in manufac
tures and commerce and in the de
velopment of the resources of the
country as were the people of
other parts of the United States
The statistics and the facts go to
show that as the institution of
slavery grew in strength, the spirit
of industrial enterprise diminished.
In the day in which it was construct
ed, the South Carolina Railway was
probably the largest engineering en
terprise in the world. At the time it
was constructed and put in operation
those who had charge of the work
had no guide to go by and had to
devise the ways and means of rail
way construction and operation, at
every step of the way.
The first grade that was maae out
of Charleston was accomplished by
driving piles and sawing them off at
approximately an even grade. They
soon found that it was better to put
the road on the ground and make
cuts and fills, except at places where
the fills would have been very
great, and at these places trestles
were devised.
There is a little book called “In
His Service," by the Rev. J. I. Till
man, who appears to have been an
evangelist who preached' in Geor
gia and South Carolina. The book
is a sort of autobiographical resume
of his work, but occasionally he re
lates some experiences that have no
reference to his preaching. One of
these little quotations relates to the
South Carolina Railway as follows:
“At Williston, I met Dr. W. W.
Smith, who related some interest
ing things about the building of
the South Carolina railway from
Charleston to Augusta, which I
learned was the first railway built
on this planet. Dr. Smith helped
to survey the route and to build"
the road. At the first hill they en
countered in the construction they
stopped and decided they could go no
further. This hill was its terminus
for years. The first trains wer* run
by sails while they were yet not a
great distance from Charleston. The
road was built on to Aiken, where
there was another considerable
grade. The cars were let down
grade by means of a windlass and
ropes and back again by the same
contrivance. When completed, it
took a week to make the round trip
from Charleston to Augusta. The
steam engine succeeded sail power.
Track walkers went ahead of the
engine at the rate of seven miles to
each walker. When night came on
the whole turn-out would strike fire
and camp in the woods. The trains
had an engine in the rear as well
as in front, the object of the rear
engine being to pull the oars back
wards as a l reverse lever was not
then known.
“There were no switches on this
primitive railroad, but wooden
wedges were used to move the track.
Dr. Smith constructed a switch,
which was the first one ever used,
and operated it ac Williston, where
it is in use today. At eighty-seven
years of age Dr. Smith still lives in
Williston.
“This railroad had but one mail
bag for the whole route. When a
postoffice was reached the bag was
emptied and all mail for that sta
tion was taken out and the bag was
locked and returned to the train. It
then resumed the even tenor of its
way at the rate of five miles an
hour, which was then thought to be
considerable speed. It was the custom
of the boys who were 1 of h«ot-,
ing to leave the train at the post
office and take a drive for deer,
which were plentiful in that day, and
by the time the train would reach
the next station here would come the
hunters with a deer they had captur
ed in the woods. It was understood
that when an upgrade was reached
that the male passengers were to get
out and push and thus help the en
gine up the grade. The conductor
walked a plank on the outside of the
cars in order to collect the fares.
“The track was constructed of
wooden stringers laid down and flat
iron bars nailed down on them. It
was a common thing for the cars to
run off while rounding a curve. Dr.
Smith, to obviate this difficulty, con
ceived the idea of lowering the id-
side track on a curve. For his trouble
in mentioning his idea to the super
intendent he received a cursing ‘for
being such a fool’. But one day while
the superintendent was absent he
took the hands and lowered the in
side track and on seeing the ears
pass over it he saw that his plan
would do. The cars were built sharp
ended to split the wind.”
Dr. Smith is not altogether ac
curate about the South Caroline
Railway being the first on the planet.
It was, however, the first of any
great magnitude, it having been suc
cessfully completed and profitably
operated from Charleston to Ham
burg on the Savannah river, a dis
tance of about 140 miles. It was
the first also to operate steam loco
motives, except in an experimental
way. During the formulation of the
plans for this road the company had
under consideration the use of horse
power, wind power, by sails, and of
steam power. They tried the sails
first and then adopted steam.
His book makes a record of the
fact that Dr. W. W. Smith was the
inventor of the first railroad switch
that could be thrown by a lever. At
a later date, when slavery had be
come established, Dr. Smith would
not have troubled himself to dpevise
a switch, but probably would have
made a darkey continue to drive a
wooden wedge to shift the rails.
A TRIBUTE
Linus Wilburn Bedenbaugh
October 5, 1882—July 27, 1941
. I quote the words of his pastor,
the Rev. H. O. Chambers, of Cen
tral Methodist Church, Newberry,
S. C.:
“He was a member of the Board
of Stewards, Chairman of the Adult
Division of the Sunday Scnool,
member of the Board of Education,
member of the Church Choir. My
thought of him was of one who was
always a hightoned, Christian gen
tleman.”
I quote also the words of one
who through most of his life was
closest to him:
“He never had a low thought nor
did a mean act.”
He spent his life as a bank offi
cial, and as a public school teacher.
In both capacities he was completely
faithful and held completely the con
fidence of the people. He was, at the
time of his death, a member of the
faculty of the Newberry high school.
Always modest and unassuming,
he was, nevertheless, firm in his con
victions and outspoken in champion
ing high ideals and in working for the
welfare of his fellow citizens.
He was loyal to his family, a true
brother, an affectionate son, a de
voted husband.
He fought a good fight, he kept the
faith. Then the Master called, “Come
quickly". He answered the summons.
God’s Fingers touched him, and he
slept.

FORMER NEWBERRIAN DIES .
IN CHARLOTTE
Funeral services for Boyce John
Reagin, 63, reitired railway man,
who died Thursday afternoon at his
home, 427 East Morehead street,
Charlotte, after an illness of 18
months, were conducted Friday af
ternoon at Charlotte with services
from the graveside at Graceland
cemetery, Greenville.
Mr. Reagin was born December 8,
1877, in Newberry, son of the late
Bascom and Emma Mathis Reagin.
He was formerly a conductor of
the Southern Railway system. He
was a member of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen, Phalanx lodge.
He is survived by a sister-in-law,
Mrs. Margaret Reagin of Greenwood.
MRS. DORA MILLS
Mrs. Dora Mills, 47, died at her
home Friday. She had been ill three
years.
Funeral services were conducted
from Bethel church Saturday at 6
p. m. by the Rev. Mr. Kelly.
Surviving are her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. W. E. Fulmer, her husband,
Colie Mills, and the following chil
dren: Miss Vincent Mills, Miss Loy
Mills, Mrs. Bertie Mae Fulmer and
Mrs. Ollie Belle Wicker; three broth
ers, Olin, Lonnie and Leroy Fulmer;
two sisters, Mrs. Lorine Finney and
•Mrs. Gussae Yon and ten grand
children.
The friends of “Bud” Moore will
be sorry to learn that he is a patient
at the Veteran’s hospital in Colum
bia.
Not many years ago, the show room of a new house was the kitchen
where the builder proudly displayed a built-in tin sink. Today there is no
tin in the kitchen. A porcelain sink, built-in cupboards, broom closets,
beehive containers for all sorts of kitchen equipment and frequently an
automatic refrigerator and a stove are just part of the equipment.
The Construction Industry brought all this added convenience and
value to your kitchen. But modem planning and lowered cost don t stop
in the kitchen. You'll see the handiwork of the Construction Industry
in every room.
And who is the Construction Industry? It is" all of us—buyer and
builder. It is all the men in our town who help to build and remodel our
homes, office buildings, factories, roads and bridges. The men who make
the loans, put in the plumbing, the electricity, pour the concrete, hammer
the nails, rivet the steel.
These men of our Construction Industry don't work from a National
Blue Print. They operate as individuals, on their own initiative, according
to local needs and local opportunity. •
That's the way our system of free enterprise works in all American
Industry. You work on your free initiative—the way you want to work.
And it's bound to help everybody else. That's why the tin sink disappeared.
Invest now—in your own home—in your own community.
