CROUCH in The Sa luda Standard The ol dhome in which Elder Luther Rice died stands, or did stand, on land now owned by Mr. A. W. Murray, a lumberman of Newberry. Mr. Murray, re cently gave the old building which, although a century and a half old, was sound throughout, having been built of long-leaf pine, to the members of Pine Pleasant and it is being dismant led and will be used in the con- » struction of Sunday school rooms at that old church. Tradition says that this dwell ing was built by a Mr. Guin- yard, an ancestor of the Guin- yards of Columbia, whose brick are famous all over the state. The story goes that the fam ily of tliis Mr. Guinyard would have chills and fever where they lived on the Congaree River, and he acquired a large acreage of land on which long- leaf pines grew, and built this house among them. It is well known that long years ago, even down to 60 or 70 years ago, there was a large area covered with the long-leaf pine in the vicinity of Pine Pleasant church. The timber going into this old dwelling was sawed from the native growth and it was built of heart—or fat — pine throughout. The shingles of the roof were drawn by hand and of a thickness much greater than the ordinary shingles of today, and, being of heart pine, would last for a hundred years. It has been more than 50 years since I saw this building, but it was two stories high, there being two large rooms on the first floor and two equally large on the second, and with two shed rooms on the rear. Under neath was a large cellar, used for the servants’ quarters. JOHN BELTON MOORE Funeral services for John Bel ton Moore, of Whitmire who died at his home Monday night, were held at 5 p. m.

Worried About Fall Fashions? NoTNeed, Says Local Merchant By Ruth Doris Armfield Have you been looking thru the fashion magazines in recent months? If so, you’ve noticed the long skirts . . . the fancy hipline trimmings for new dres ses . . . the ultra-sophisticated suits. We noticed them . . . and wondered. When we heard that Mrs. E. A. Carptenter has just returned from a buying trip in New York, we decided it was the chance to get the real low- down on these extreme crea tions. We left relieved. Those of us who are short won't have to worry about being cut off even more with the fancy peplums. Those who worry enough now about "rolling off" an extra inch that managed to get on our hipline needn't be bothered because the magazines fea ture those wrap - around- bow-tie on the hip creations. “It is true,” Mrs. Carpenter said, “that hems ARE getting longer . . . and our Newberry women always kept up with the style. But I think the impres sion of longer hemlines has been exaggerated. They are only ex tremely long for dinner dres ses, cocktail dresses—for really ‘dress-up’ occasions. But for or dinary and church dress-up wear, the hemlines will vary ac cording to the individual’s type and height, all being some long er. A tour of many manufactur ing houses in New York shows that it is hard to mention any one style as being predominant for the fall season, because the manufacturers went all out this year to make styles suited to the taste of everyone. "The hooded coat is some thing that is definitely in . . and we don't believe many ladies will object. The raincoat has been glamoriz ed, too . . . looking at one of the many styles of these smartly tailored corduroy coats, it's hard to realize they're raincoats. Certainly, they are a far cry from the raincoat of yesteryear—the one you only took out of the closet for rainy occasions, and hated to pul on then! These coats can be used for almost any sportswear. Some of the new coats are featuring full backs ... as are many of the new suits. I’m sure that Newberry’s business women and many others will be glad to know that the old standby, the tailored suit, is just as popular as ever. We were glad to hear Mrs. Carpenter say: "Nothing will ever take the place of the classic tailored suit . . , even though it changes each season in materials and shoulder ef- NEWS FROM MOLLOHON Mr. Cecil Suit and sons were visitors of Mrs. D.

Several shades of brown and tan will be popular . . . coffee and cocoa—but this year they are “fur colors”—such as mink brown, etc. These are the shades which make buying ac cessories much easier. Be extreme if you like—and be in style! But we hope that you will feel better knowing that you will still be very much in style, without being extreme. Roof Accepts Call Police Chief Shoots To Sumter Church In Self Defense Reverend J. E. Roof will leave his pastorate at St. Paul’s Luth eran church, Pomaria, on August 15 to accept the call to St James Lutheran Church in Sum ter.
