Old Time ‘Wasbin’
Told By Eleazer
(By J. M. Eleazer, Clemson Ex
tension Information Expert)
It was a hot dry summer in
1911. Our Wateree Creek dried
clean up.
As long as tf!e stagnant holes
lasted, we went in “washin’.”
That’s what we called it then.
It’s swimming now. Parents
threatened dire things if we
didn’t stay out of those vanish
ing pools where dead fish floated.
But we slipped in until their bot
toms were dry.
From there on, the summei
looked like a total loss to us. Our
parents had greater worries. No
forage, no gardens, and they
thought no cotton. But that
little stuff made a bumper crop,
the price went down, and we
never got it all picked. The next
spring we plowed under the un
picked cotton and planted more.
The faith of a farmer!
As usual, though, the weather
paid its debt.
It was out in August, amid the
gloom of dry desolation, that the
cloudburst came. As the ' red
waters tore across terraces and
down the roads and ditches, we
had visions of returning glory to
the old swimming holes.
As soon as the deluge tapered
off into a drizzle, and the thun
ders rumbled away into the dis
tance, we set out for the creek.
We ran all the way. Shirts were
off before we got there, and one
strap of our overalls was loose
when we arrived.
We couldn’t see our creek. A
raging flood covered its meander
ing course from hill to hill. In
we waded, cautionsly • at first,
into the shallow back-waters.
Then deeper, and the current got
stronger, until we could hardly
stand against it. Ben, our boldest
cut loose and swam out into the
channel. He was disappearing
in the bushes as he yelled to us
to come on, it was fine.
One by one we launched out.
The full force of the current
soon had us and we, were swim
ming silently, majestically at
perhaps 15 miles an hour. Little
effort was required, just a kick
and a pull now and then to
miss a tree. Man, were we rid
ing! We never had that much
fun before.
At a sharp curve a half-mile
down, we pulled for the bapk.

Legion Auxiliary
Expanding activities of the
American Legion Auxiliary offer
her members wide opportunity
for interesting and important
service, according to Mrs. May T.
Stuck, prsident of the Auxiliary’s
Newberry unit, in an invitation
issued today to all eligible wo
men to come into the organiza
tion at this time.
“Ahead is the most eventful
period in the history of the Am
erican Legion Auxiliary,” Mrs.
Stuck said. “New demands for
our services are coming in every
field of our activities. We are ex
panding our organization to meet
them and creating opportunities
for our new members to enjoy
in full the rewards of working
with the Legion for our veter
ans and our country.
“Our auxiliary unit works
closely with The American Leg
ion Post, giving active support to
all legion projects where the
work of women can be helpful.
We also share in many of the
legion’s social activities, as well
as having our own social pro
gram. The Auxiliary has much
to offer that will brighten and
broaden the lives of eligible wo
men.”
Those eligible to Auxiliary
membership are all wives, moth
ers, sisters and daughters of
American Legion members and
of men who lost their lives in the
world wars or who have died
since honorable discharge, and
all women who themselves were
enrolled in the armed forces in
either war.
The Newberry unit has 206
members already enrolled for
this year and is expecting many
more.
we were able to get out. Back up
the creek we to repeat the pro
cess. Riding that mad current
thrilled us to the bone. Thunder-
gods were we, riding the storm.
The hill creeks rise fast, and
fall the same way. Soon it was
going down and we were not
clearing the bushes as we had.
Briers were coming to the sur
face again and there were
scratched stomachs among us.
I see now why parents turn
gray early. And I wonder how
any country boy ever gets grown.
Whirlpools, eddies, and debris
made that awful dangerous and
we were not the best swimmers.
But we survived.
SISTER OF FORMER
NEWBERRIAN KILLED
The following article is from
the Laurens Advertiser:
“Mrs. Dick Mims, wife of the
pharmacist at Powe’s Drug store,

had been killed in an automobile
accident. She was the former
Miss Mary Cottingham of Tim-
monsville. Interment will be in

al visitor in the home of Mr. and
