In 1932, Archer M. Hunting- ton created these gardens from parts of four former rice plantations. Mr. Huntington endowed these gardens with a $1,000,000 ftind which is now handled by a board of seven trustees.

It was also the home of Aaron Burr’s daughter, Theodosia Burr Alston. She was lost at sea in 1812 after sailing from Georgetown.

Pays Tribute To Late Editor The following article appeared in the “Letters to the Editor” column of the Charleston News & Courier following the death of the papers prominent editor: To The News and Courier: There were many beautiful trib utes to the former editor of The News and Courier, the late W. W. Ball. Your article was timely and outstanding. Many years ago a rising young lawyer from the upper part of the state, from a very prominent fam ily, took exception to an article that was published in The News and Courier and wrote a rather lengthy letter expressing his views and giving his version on the subject. Mr. Ball’s reply was reprinted in a local paper. It was a masterpiece of facts, figures and satire. After reading the reply to my friend’s letter 1 arrived at this conclusion: “That if the gracious Lord would see fit to answer my hum ble prayers as well and as com pletely as my friend’s letter was answered, that I would fear no evil.” Later on I was visiting Charles ton and had in my pocket a note from Mr. Ball, inviting me to visit him at his office. I made my way to the old News and Courier build ing and looked it over several times before I climbed the stairs.to his office. I did so when with mis-givings and apprehension. I expected to see a fiery gentle man with many assistants. The door to his office was part ly opened—. There he sat all alone pounding away on his type writer with two fingers. I looked at the door a second time and ven tured in. When I presented my card he gave me a royal welcome and a very, hearty handshake. He pushed his chair back, lit his pipe and for more than an hour I lis tened to some of the most charm ing stories that I have ever heard. Occasionally he would shut those brown eyes, he was careful to keep the record straight. When I left his office that day I was fully aware that I had met a true outstanding Southern gentle man of the highest type whose word was his bond and in whom there was no guile. I would not have traded that visit for a visit to a king or to the President of the United States. I visited Mr. Ball’s office many DONALD WARD PARTICIPATED IN MOCK INVASION Donald E. Ward, seaman, USN, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emmet Ward, 1310 Drayton street, participated in the Joint amphibious mock in vasion off the northern coast of Korea recently while serving on board the amphibious force flag ship USS Mount McKinley. The maneuver was planned to give all services complete realistic preparation and training {or an actual landing. An advance force of cruisers, destroyers and air craft carriers ,led by the battle ship USS Iowa, softened targets for days before the amphibious forces moved in for their role in the operation. times afterwards. I was always re ceived in his charming way and each visit was just as interesting as the first. • __ Someone in refering to Dr. Ball’s connection with The News and Courier said, “Mr. Ball was The News and Courier.” To me Mr. Ball, was a very in teresting part of Charleston.
