PAGE SIX THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1953 KNOW SOUTH CAROLINA By GEORGE MocNABB CHIEF OF PUBLIC RELATIONS SOUTH CAROLINA RESEARCH, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT BOARD EDISTO ISLAND PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Edisto Island obtained from the Lords Proprietors to certain persons in trust for the benefit of a Presbyterian minister of Edisto Island. All the church records were destroyed during the Revolution so there is a gap in the records until the erection of the present building in 1831. By order of the Confederate Gov ernment in 1861, Edisto Island was abandoned by “the whites” and some of their loyal Negro slaves. After the war they returned to find the Island in possession of the Negroes including the Edisto Pres byterian Church. To evict these people was no easy problem to the war-impoverished returning Pres byterians. Certain expenses had to be met including the services of a lawyer to present properly an ap peal to the Federal Government. It was a struggle, but finally on the last Sabbath in the month of May 1866, several whites under the leadership of the Rev. William States Lee, pastor, and under es cort of the commanding officer of the post (the State was under mar tial law) and armed with the order made their way to the church. The Negroes blocked their passage and those within the church continued singing one hymn after another in order to prevent service of the order. Finally the Rev. Lee’s patience ran out, and Bible in one hand, and the other holding the order of eviction, he announced in clear,* tones, “In the name of God, and by'the author ity of the United States Govern ment I demand possession of this building”. “Your titles, sir”, said the negro preacher after^he and two of his associates had looked them • over, “are clear so far as might and power can make them so we will vacate.” So ended thisTnost stirring episode in the history of this church. So today with its 60 members and 76 in its Sunday School, under the guidance of its pastor, the Rev. W. H. Goodman, you’ll find Edisto Island Presbyterian Church stands as a symbol of solidity of Presbyter ianism throughout South Carolina. Thb beautiful post-colonial building, erected In 1831, is said to be the oldest edifice of a Vninterrupted n Presbyterianism in South Carolina. Edisto Island Presbyterian Church stands today in a grove of great oak trees overhung with moss. It is a beautiful post-colonial building erected in 1831 and has one of the most interesting histories of all our Smith Carolina churches. It is said tp be the oldest “uninterrupted” Presbyterian organization in South Carolina; having been instituted by Scotch Presbyterians between 1690 and 1710.

"I REMEMBER BY THI OLD TIMERS From Ester Anderson, 523 Le - baron Street, Mesa, Arisona: I re member when grandmother cut a ring around her maple tree in In diana, put a spout in the tree, caught the sap in a bucket, then boiled down the sap into maple syrup and maple sugar for us, the grandchildren. From Claud L. Gourley, Wea- verville, Trinity County, California: I remember when combined har vesters were pulled by 32 mules or horses to harvest wheat and barley in California. The animals were guided by a single line attached to the bit of the near leader and was known as a jerk line. From H. J. Scott, Manchester, Ohio: I remember when the streets of Manchester were so full of chuck holes and rough that it was almost an impossible thing to stay in the hack. A hack was a closed wagon drawn by two horses. It went out- and picked up people and took them to trains or boats. Met them and took them home or where they wanted to go much like the taxi of today. I also remember when people had large fire places and carried in logs and put the ends in the fire. The logs extended out into the room. As the logs burned they were pushed further into the fire. The people sat on each side of the logs. And I remember the old fash ioned steam engine thrashing ma chine. When they left one farm they blew the whistle which was so loud neighbors for miles around could hear it and know when they were moving on to the next thrash ing job. The machines were so heavy the bridges built in those days could not hold them, this par ticular one went through a bridge and the owner was killed by the steam and hot water. ^Jhinh it Ouer! M rs. sap \h j. riley, of Ridgew ood, writes: “I am glad to have a chance to tell you what it has meant to me to have insurance in your company, which I have had for the past seven years or more. During this time I have been in three different hospi tals, and all claims were paid promptly. *T have lost my sons by death, claims were also paid, and, besides, I have an incura- ble disease, and you have waived premiums, for which I am deeply grateful for a friend in deed in time of need. "One can be assured that ' what you promise is always done with all fairness.” Mrs. E. Lowary, of West Columbia, writes: “I have two policies with your company. U takes the money worries out of getting sick.” truly say: “Ask our policyholders about our com pany. ’ Their faith and loyalty have been greatly responsible for the rapid growth of Capital Life. ^ PRESIDE!

South Has Coal In Abundance An article in Manufacturers'Rec ord describes the potentialities of making chemicals by the hydro genation of coal. It observes that there is no want of the raw ma terial—for the Southern states alone contain about five times as much “definitely mineable” soft coal as the entire nation has used in the past 200 years. In the hydrogenation process, which was experimented with in Europe almost a century ago, raw coal is pulverized and combined with hydrogen under extreme pressures. Some of the derivatives are nylon, industrial solvents, dyes, inks, explosives, insecticides and wood preservatives, to list but a few. And, Manufacturers Rec ord says, the production of chemi cals from coal may grow “at a rate considered astounding even in this land of industrial magic.” Our abundance of coal is one of this nation’s most important ma terial assets. But coal under ground in its raw state is of no service to anyone. There must be a progressive industry to dig it, process it, grade it, and see that it reaches the consumer when and where it is, wanted. And there must be an industry that, through research, is constantly seeking new and better ways to employ coal, and to enhancb its value to the country. We have that kind of a coal in dustry, and in full measure. It has performed many a miracle in the past. The signs all say it will perform many more in the future.
