ANYONE REMEMBER
THOMAS DURETT?
There is a column in the Tus
caloosa (Ala.) 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.”

Former Columbia Head
Buried In Rosemont
Many South Carolinians heard
with regret last week of the death
in Massachusetts of Miss Euphenia
E. 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.
