PAGE two THU KfcWBERftY SUM FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1962 , s — ; KNOW SOUTH CAROLINA By GEORGE MacNABB CHIEF OF PUBLIC RELATIONS Prosperity Items SOUTH CAROLINA RESEARCH, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD Carolina Hall, Fioranc* County, in the early thirties was used as the setting for a movie based on Paul Green's Pulitzer Prize winning play, “The House of Connolly." CAROLINA HALL, FLORENCE COUNTY m Carolina Hall, near Mars Bluff in Florence County, was built in 1854 by Dr. William R. Johnson. All materials used in building the house, even the bricks, were made on the plantation. With the eg^eption of the head carpenter from Charleston, all labor on the home was done by plantation laborers. The plantation was originally planned as a rice plantation, and the remains of a network of canals and a floodgate, nuch overgrown, can still be seen in the lowlands. Unfortunately, however, Mrs. T ohnson died a few weeks before .hey were to move into the house. This accounts for the fact that the >iantation was never named when he Johnsons occupied it. At one me after the death of Dr. Johnson, e dividing line for the inheritance i -two sisters ran directly down the :ain hall of the house. In 1902, the plantation had to be Wage Cut Ordered In Mills Of North New Bedford, Mass.—An arbi trator has ordered a pay cut of eight and one-half cents an hour for some 15,000 New Bedford and Fall River textile workers. Both management and labor ex pressed dissatisfaction with the decision of Prof. Walter Gellhorn, arbitrator of the wage slash re quest of the New Bedford-Fall River Cotton Manufacturers’ As sociation. Gellhorn rolled back the pay scale to March 19, 1951 but left in effect an increase granted Sept. 18, 1950. The current average scale in the affected area is $1.40% per hour. The new wage scale becomes effective July 19. Also left intact was the cost of living escalator clause in the contract between the mills and the CIO textile workers union. That clause already has brought an increase of four cents an hour. Seabury Stanton, spokesman for the manufacturers, termed the decision “only a partial solu tion’ 1 of the problem involving wage differentials between the Northern and Southern mills. And Emil Rieve, Utwa presi dent, said in New York that ‘-a wage cut cannot sell a single yard of cloth.” The decision may have far- reaching effect on some 65,000 other workers in Northeastern textile mills since the New Bed ford-Fall River association gen erally sets the pattern for textile sold for division, and was bought by W. R. Rankin, who repaired and restored the old home. Mrs. Rankin named the house “The Columns’’ because of the 22 free standing columns which surround the Gree Revival white frame home on three sides. I/i the early thirties, “The Col umns” was used as the setting for a movie based on Paul Green’s “The House of Connolly.” A replica of the plantation was made in Hollywood. Called “Carolina” in the picture, the plantation has been known as “Carolina Hall”since then. At present, the plantation i: occupied by Mr. and Mrs. B. I'. Harwell. Mrs. Harwell is the daugh ter of the Rankins. The principa’ crops of modern day “Carolitv Hall” are corn, cotton, tobaccc and a registered herd of Herefort. cattle. State Gains In Important Field In the export field, all of the customs districts expect that in South Carolina reflected a de crease in the value of goods sent to other countries this year as compared with last. The State ex perienced a gain of around $6% million, or from $27,500,000 at the end of the first four months of 1951 to $33,900,000 at the same time this year, according to C. W. Martin, District Manager^ Charles ton District Office, U.S. Depart ment of Commerce. North Carolina reported a de cline of from $600,000 to $400,000, Georgia, from $15,100,000 to $13,- 000,000, Florida, from $100,200,000 to $92,800,000, and Mobile, from $17,800,000 to $16,400,000. South Carolina, Georgia and Florida saw an upward trend in the value of importations, while North Carolina and Mobile ex perienced declines. The increase in South Carolina was from $20,- 000,000 to $22,900,000. contracts in this section. The mill owners had sought a 15 cents an hour reduction when the contract was re-opened last December. The union opposed the cut, holding that the industry could continue the present scale. The manufacturers based their pay cut request on the desire to narrow the gap between Northern and Southern textile wages. They claimed the Sounth enjoyed a 32 cents an hour margin over North ern mills. by storing next winter’s supply of coal right now.

Combat Veterans Good Teachers And Recruiters Korean combat veterans return ed from overseas In keeping with the Army’s current rotation plan are being effectively employed in all the phases of the many activities of the South Carolina Military District, Col. Harry C. Mewshaw, District Chief, an nounced today. “Returnees from the Far East Command possess experience that is invaluable to district work. They are members of almost all branches of the service and their military background as well as their knowledge of the latest methods and equipment gained in the Far East give them well- rounded qualifications as in structors for our ORC, National Guard and ROTC personnel. We find these men are also excellent recruiters.” At present over forty returnees are assigned to the district.
