FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1952 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE KNOW SOUTH CAROLINA By GEORGE MocNABB ii.. i i CHIEF OF PUBLIC RELATIONS SOUTH CAROLINA RESEARCH, PUNNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD Th* Thomas Legare House, 90 Church Street, is one of the beautiful old Charleston houses being featured in the Charleston tours this year. THOMAS LEGARE HOUSE, CHARLESTON The Thomas Legare House, 90 Church Street, is one of the very fine old Charleston “Single” houses. The property was owned by Thomas Legare as early as 1752, but the home was not built until 1760. Re cently, the present resident, W. Lucas Simons and his late wife, Adele Petigru Simons restored the house almost to its original form. The home is built in the Mid- Georgian style, and features a Regency piazza which is not part of the original house. The piazza was added about 1816 by George MacAuley, who bought the house next door and pulled it down in order to make a yard for his home. The house contains many pieces of familv furniture, and some inter esting old portraits: notably one of Keating Simons, rice planter from the Cooper River, and Brigade Ma jor to General Francis Marion; and Sully’s portrait of Adele Petigru Allston, sister of James Louis Petigru, and wife of R.F.W. Allston, governor of the state in ante bellum times. The historic Charleston Founda tion has included this home as part of the tours of historic homes in Charleston. The Foundation is a non-profit, educational organization preserving and using the homes of Charleston to keep them alive as parts of the community. Each year, extending this year through April 15th, the Foundation conducts tours which open many buildings to the public for the first time. Money re ceived from these tours is used to restore and preserve the heritage of Charleston. TM> b No. 9 In a mtIm of articles to acquaint our readers with South Carolina Might Kill You!

COUNTS Bible Comment: Solomon's Reign Saw Glory and Beginning Of Israel's Decay r T , HE national glory and decay of Israel were associated with the glory and decay of one man—King Solomon, man of wisdom, temple builder, consolidator of the king dom. At the height of his glory decay began to set in, because he had departed from the wisdom he had sought abovp all else, and from the integrity, humility and religious devotion so manifest in the beautiful prayer at the dedica tion of the Temple. It is commonly said that no man is indispensable, but that notion is frequently discredited by the facts of life and history. Great businesses often fail when- the founder and controlling figure dies. Battles and wars are lost and,the destiny of nations affected when some great leader falls. Flourish ing churches dwindle when no one arises to succeed some outstanding pastoral leader. In almost every field in which strength and character count one will find innumerable instances where some who died were really indispensable, and failure and de cay ensued because no one arose to take his place. The sort of strength and char acter that Solomon represented in his early career was indispensable to a strong kingdom. The outward glory lasted while Solomon lived, but decay began when he departed from the principles of his early reign. The way was already laid for the rebellion and the division that quickly came in Israel after his death. The story of the rise and fall of the Kingdom of Israel is instruc tive and full of guidance and warning for our times. Facts and principles that underlie the wel fare of nations and peoples are well illustrated. Opening chapters of the First Book of Kings tell us of the bitter enmities and violent deaths per petrated then. -It Would be a mis take to think that such things are missing in today’s world, but we can be thankful that we live in a modern democracy with its at tendant freedoms rather than in those times. JOE WILSON OUT FOR COMMISSIONER Joe Wilson, farmer of the Bachman Chappel community an nounces in this issue for Com missioner in the lower district. Mr. Wilson sought this office on £ couple of occasions, receiving a substantial vote each time. Sports Afield There’s a kind of trout fish ing firmly entrenched in the hearts of many northwoods fish ermen that you can adapt to you own fishing no matter where you live—the sport of fly- rod trolling. Outdoor writer Ted James told us about it, and he re marked that it does require a hit different tackle. You need a fly reel with plen ty of backing, 75 to 100 yards. Your line should sink easily; Janes prefers silk fly line, with no dressing. It may be tapered or level, and the same is true of the leader. He uses a coil of level 3-lb. test nylon leader ma terial and cuts off whatever length seems indicated by weather and water conditions— anywhere from six to ten feet. The rod should be light but with plenty of backbone—say a four- ounce stick in a dry fly action. The subject of lures is a thorny one, but there are certain tried and true patterns which should be In one’s kit at all times. The Gray Ghost, Black Ghost, Dark Tiger, Supervisor, Green Ghost, Warden’s Worry and red and white bucktail, tied on No. 4 to No. 8 hooks will take under al most any conditions. From the standpoint of tech nique, perhaps most important of all is the knowledge of where to troll. There are certain defi nite places to troll at certain defi nite times. For example, in spring after ice-out, the smelt or COMMISSIONER DISTRICT 2 1 hereby announce myself a candidate for re-election to the office of Commissioner from Dis trict No. 2 and agree to abide the results of the Democratic primary.

(BILL) HATTON Hazel to Do Publicity For Columbia Insurance Firm; is Newspaper Man service, and for its unique edi torial column. For many years, the column was written in the first person over Mr. Hazel’s sig nature, and was set in typewriter type. The * Advocate being the only paper in America using this style of editorial column. His paper won the State Press As sociation’s cup for community ser vice the first year it was offered. Mr. Hazel will spend most of this month in the Columbia of fice of the Capital Life, and be ginning May 1, will make a tour of the State, visiting newspaper offices and making plans for a newspaper advertising campaign that the Company will start about July 1. .NVW.syo.^r-.-. W. G. Hazel, former editor and publisher of The Pee Dee Advo cate, of Beenettsville, has been selected as advertising manager and publicity director of the Capital Life and Health Insurance Commpany, according to an nouncement of Lester L. Bates, President. He assumes active duty April 1. Mr. Hazel, a native of Edge- field County, has made his home in Bennettsville for the past twenty years. He has been en gaged in the newspaper and pub lishing business for the past forty years. After graduating at Wof ford College in 1910, he was news editor of the Spartanburg Hergld until he purchased the Saluda Standard in 1911, operating this paper for nine years. For five years he was owner and publisher of The News and Times of Thomasville, N. C. He bought The Pee Dee Advo cate from the estate of the late R. L. Freeman on July 1, 1931. .He edited this paper until Septem ber 1 last year, when it was sold and consolidated with The Marl boro County Herald. The Advocate was known as one of the outstanding weekly papers of the State, and won at various times national recognition for its excellence, for community » other small fish are distributed widely around the shore line and the trout follow them there You’ll find the trout lying along rocky shores and islands, over ledges and boulder-studded shallows. About the only way a stranger can locate these ledges and rocky shoals is by hiring a guide, by taking soundings or by estimating the bottom contours from the shoreline formations. For my money, the best is a good guide. Day in and out, Janes says he has caught more fish going aganst the wind than wit it. This is probably because the boat, plung ing about in the waves, imparts more action to the fly. And an active fly is very important in this kind of fishing. The troller should “work” his fly constantly. Janes likes to troll fast. He doesn’t advocate full throttle trolling, but one of the top fly- rod trollers of the eastern country invariably trolfi a fly at betten than half speed.

Newberry Federal Savings & Loan Association 1223 College Street Phone 246 “HOW DOHIMAKE A LOAN AT THE BANK?” Loans at this bank are made directly by our manager, Mr. Norris, or by our assis tant manager. If you intend to borrow on collateral, you should bring it with you. Generally, you can borrow ; money more cheaply at the bank than from other sources. If the loan is discounted (interest paid in advance), the rate of interest may be even lower. There are several ways to ar range a loan. YOU CAN BORROW ON REAL ESTATE If you own your home or other property free and clear you will find you can borrow a considerable sum here on a long or short term first mortgage at low rates. If your property already carries a first mortgage, a second mortgage loan can often be arranged. YOU CAN BORROW ON LIFE INSURANCE If you have paid-up life insurance or policies with sizable cash or loan value, you can borrow money up to the full loan value here at very modest rates. Such loans can be made for either a short or long period of time. YOU CAN BORROW ON SECURITIES If you own government, municipal or corporate bonds or debentures, or certain types of mortgages, or high grade listed preferred stocks you can use these as collateral against a loan here at moderate interest rates. AN UNSECURED LOAN IS POSSIBLE Sometimes a loan may be made here on no other security than your signature on a note. A bank will often lend on “character” alone if the purpose of the loan is desirable and the borrower’s record and prospects are of the best.
