VOL. 14—NO. 47. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1952 + $1.60 PER YEAR BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER We never had a boat. But always wanted one, even though our tumbling creek had little place to use it. Back of the mill dam was a considerable hole, where the water swirled and foamed. We wanted to set one of our fish baskets in there, but could not get to the piling back of the dam to tie it. So we tried to improvise a boat. The water was deep and dangerous, and we were told that there was a “suck-hole” in there. We didn’t have any boards to make a boat out of. But still we prospected around. We found an old abandoned buggy down in the briars below' the black smith shop at the loot of the hill. There was an idea for a boat. We unbolted the iron stirrups from it, and also the whip hold er an da dashboard. We chink ed the cracks with rags and cotton and smeared pine tar on them from the outside. Soon we thought it seaw'orthy.and carried it a mile down to the creek. It would float. But wanted to tilt to one side. One of us was about ready to try it, but that tilting frightened us a bit. So we decided to try a rock in it first. We grappled with one about our weight, and finally got it in. We tied a bullice vine to the boat and shoved it out from shore. It tilted, the rock rolled to the side, and down went boat and rock. We tried to pull it from the bottom. But the vine came loose, and that’s the last we ever saw of our boat.
