News devoted to the pioneer families of that state. Some of the older people of this county may remember hearing of Thomas Durett or know some of his kin in these parts, and for this reason the paragraph below concerning Mr. Durett is being re produced from that newspaper. The final paragraphs of the article have no bearing upon the Newberry native but is an in teresting glimpse into life of more than a century ago: “Just up the road a half mile, Thomas Durett, from Newberry County, South Carolina, settled during January 1819. He built a forge (a glorified blacksmith shop) and manufactured the first axes, hoes, and a combination iron-wood en turning plow made in Ala bama. The plow stock and mould board were made of wood, the standard w r as made of iron, and the points were made of steel. The capacity of the forge per day was six axes, six hoes and one turning plow, together with some small iron plows. The steel used came from Sweden. The iron was made into pigs and forged into bars at Tannehill forge in the eastern part o fthe county. Crossing the river from Tusca- losa we find John Welch Prewitt and his wife, “Miss Betsy,” liv ing on the Byler Road 15 miles from Tuscaloosa. They were said to have owned more slaves than any other family in Alabama. Mr. Prewitt had no overseers. He managed his large estate on the Patriarch plan. He would have one elderly Negro in charge of a group of 10 or more families. He allowed them to keep their cows and hogs at their homes. They kept their mules there during plow time. Each colony had a wagon and oxen that they kept. They stored the corn they used but the cotton was hauled to “Old Moster’s gin. Clothes and shoes were made in shops near the Big House. However, most of the thread used, especially the cot ton thread, was carded and spun by the women in each settlement. The woolen thread used was made from sheep owned by Mr. Prewitt and was carded in the home shop. “Mr. Prewitt bought leather for making the shoes, but they were also made in the shop on the place, and each person was limited to one pair of shoes per year. There was no doctor on these broad acres, but “Miss Betsy” could be seen any time of the day, even many times late at night, visiting those who were sick with her lan tern in one hand and her little brown medicine bag in the other. She rode a gentle mule when she visited those who lived away from the Big House. She saw to it that all the slaves were well clothed and well fed. She also had the head of each colony see that no one worked who was sick. Each slave was taught a trade and the small children attended school regular ly. “The Negro graveyard was near the Big House and must have more Negroes buried there now than there are in any other grave yard in the county. As long as any of the slaves lived they firm ly believed that during the winter “Miss Betsy” could be seen any cold rainy night with her lantern and little brown hag, going from grave to grave, asking each one. buried there if they needed any medicine.” Heads You Win W" .1 HH 1 m ifipS t X ■ W- mm REEVES J.

McClintock, once president of the College for Women in Colum bia. She had farely visited the state since the closing of the col lege in 1915, but the loyal alumnae had kept in touch with her, and a large number of her old students attended the funeral here on Tuesday, March 10. After the services at Rosemont Cemetery, a meeting was called in the parlors of the Newberry A.R.P. Church, of which Miss McClin- tock’s father was pastor for many years. The old College for Wo men Alumnae Association was re organized for the purpose of rais ing funds for a memorial to Miss McClintock, who is acknowledged to be one of the outstanding South Carolina women in the field of education. The newly elected of ficers are very anxious to get In touch with all former students of the college, and its preparatory school, who would like to have a part in contributing to this me morial. It is certain that Miss McClintock herself would be more pleased to have such a fund rep resent many small gifts from all her students than larger donations from a few. Annual alumnae dues of one dollar will go into the fund also. All old “C. F. W.” students are asked to get in touch with the secretary or treasurer as soon as possible, so that their address es may he registered and informa tion about future meetings and the progress of the fund reported di rectly. The new officers are: President, Mrs. R. L. Meriwether (Margaret Babcock), Box 388, Columbia; Vice-President, Mrs. John Mac- Eachern (Netta Cooper), 1527 Sen ate Street, Columbia; Secretary, Mrs. K. R. McMaster (Nell Elliott), 214 Bralton Street, Winnsboro; and Treasurer, Miss Roberta AlcL- rich, 1408 Gervais Street, Colum bia. Columbia T - V Station Gets Its Transmitter Camden, N. J., March 13—A new UHF (ultra-high-frequency) television transmitter was shipped yesterday to station WCOS-TV in Columbia, S. C. by the RCA Vic tor Division, Radio Corporation of America, it was announced here today by the comp iny’s Engineer ing Products Department. •The new transmitter will, pro vide the first UHF television ser vice in South Carolina. Station WCOS-TV, which will operate in Channel 25, is owned by Radio Columbia, owner of radio station WCOS. RCA expects to ship next week the station’s special UHF broadcast antenna and auxiliary equipment, final requirements for going on the air, a company spokesman said. The new transmitter, which is the result of three years of in tensive commercial development work by RCA, has a visual poorer output of 1-kilowatt. The RCA slotted-pylon high-gain antenna and special transmission line to be used with it will mutiply the strength of the signal to more than 20 times its initial power. UHF stations are now in opera tion in many parts of the country, and surveys have shown that they are providing service comparable to that of VHF stations. The new UHF service has made possible a truly national expansion of television which will bring pro grams to virtually every commun ity.
