ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist we became chilly, and built a fire. Our woods were never burned; so the straw was thick. We would rake that back for a cushion to rest against, as the fire burned beautifully there on the ground, The fire was comforting in sev eral ways. In addition to its wormth, it dispelled the darkness all around us, and the goblins of the night went away from our minds. PRAYER MEETING The other Wednesday I was re turning to Clemson across the state from early dusk on into the right. I was traveling the by roads, as I always do, when that’s possible in getting where I’m go ing. Many churches were passed. I noticed the early ones were open to air out. A little farther along I noticed the lights were on and a few persons had gathered. They were chatting there near the steps. On down the road, time had passed to where they were going in the church, and I could hear the opening songs from one or two. And gtill farther along I heard the spirited preaching from one, as I glided by on a new black-top road that had lately re placed dust and mud there. In tl\e neighborhood of nine I was passing across Anderson county. One congregation was just getting out, and another had about dwindled away. Farther on still the lights had been turned out and several boys were linger ing on a log there by the road in the churchyard talking. And on down the road two young cou ples were walking, holding hands, i while parents and younger chil dren were walking on ahead. Peaceful and reassuring scenes of the country-side! I like ’em. BOYS ARE THAT WAY Even though our house in the Stone Hills of the Dutch Fork had large airy rooms and only a fireplace for heat, I don’t recall ever getting cold as a kid. Winter cramped our style a bit as roving youngsters in a bound less domain of almost virgin country. Days were short and consumed by school. Our, creek, so fruitful at other seasons, was a damp, cold, and uninviting ra vine in winter. But the long nights brought delights that were different. There some of the older ones would regale the circle with tall tales. Sometimes they got scary, and we little ones would lie closer to an older brother or col ored man who went along with us. Eventually we would hear one of the dogs bark away across the hills. Everyone would get quiet then to listen. From the bark we could tell if it was a trail or if they had treed. If a trail, we stayed Quiet there at the fire until it changed to a bark that told us the ’possum was up the tree. Then we put out the fire and struck out. Straight across hill, vale, and swamp the best hunter in the crowd led us. It was then that the smaller ones had to really turn on the steam to keep up. A tangle in the vines and a fall meant some running to catch up. Dogs would be looking up the tree and barking when we ar rived. We would wave torches at different angles around the tree to get a shine from his eyes, if he was up there. Thus assured the older boys lit in to chopping the tree down. And no giant of the forest was too large for us to sacrifice for the smallest ’possum. This is already long enough. I will have to get you out of the winter woods next week. NOTICE OF ELECTION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF NEWBERRY It was then that we sought the wary ’possum on long treks thru the rugged woods. Bundles of burning lightwood splinters were carried by the lead man, and we followed him through the tangle of underbrush. Beyond the gleam of that flickering light lay dark ness, deep and sinister. And we little ones sure scrambled to keep up within its comforting reach.
