we entered the intersection.”
William Wood Merchant Jr.,
driver of the Pontiac, also warned
by the coroner that whatever he
said could be used “for or against
him”, said that he would be happy
to make a statement.
Testifying as to the collision,
he said “I was traveling at a speed
of between 30 and 35 miles per
hour, approaching this intersec
tion. I saw I had a green light
and proceeded carefully trying to
take into account any traffic that
was in the area. Just before I
entered the intersection, I saw
this truck approaching south
which would be to my right and
I still had a green light. This was
just as I entered the intersection;
the truck struck the vehicle I was
operating.”
He continued ‘I was closer to
the green light than the truck
was.”
Both Mr. Ryan and Mr. Mer
chant testified that they were
knocked unconscious by the col
lision.
Patrolman Martin took the
stand again to testify that the
traffic light had been thoroughly
checked and that it was working
perfectly.
Dr. Foster N. Martin Jr., who
examined Mrs. Wilkes after her
death, said in his statement that
death resulted from “fractures of
the ribs, fracture of the pelvis
and a linear fracture of the skull.”
After hearing testimony for an
hour and a half, the jury took five
minutes to come to the verdict
that “Mrs. Elizabeth Wilkes came
to her death as a result of an
auto-truck collision at the inter
section of Highways Number 19
and 76 By-pass.”

Enjoy trip lo
Columbia
(By MRS. W. C. KOON, Publicity
Chairman)
Tuesday, August 6th, members
of the Pomaria Home Demonstra
tion Club left Pomaria at 9:30 a.
m. for a tour of our Capital City.
We visited several interesting and
hictorical places, among them
Columbia College, one of the old
est in Columbia, which has re
cently undergone landscaping of
the campus and addition of new
dormitories and education build
ings. The next stop was the Gov
ernor’s Mansion, but since the
First Lady was out of town, we
did not get a chance to enter. We
walked around the grounds and
later went to the State Peniten
tiary. New rules have been pass
ed so that ladies are not allowed
on the grounds, but we were tak
en to the death house and saw the
electric chair. While our guide,
Sgt. Amick was unlocking the
door, we saw a big black cat under
some shrubbery near the door,
and wondered whether it was the
same cat we read about a few
months ago, walking in the death
chamber and round the electric
chair after an electrocution.
For lunch, we went to the tall
est and most modern apartment
building in Columbia, “Cornell
Arms” which has a cafeteria,
drug store and lobby on the first
floor in addition to other offices.
After lunch in the cafeteria and a
rest in the lobby, we rode the ele
vator to the 19th floor, walked a
flight of steps to the roof and
made pictures from there.
Our next stop was the Episcopal
Church. This historical church has
lovely windows and a beautiful al
tar. We visited inside and at the
little cemetery in which are buried
some of our great statesmen,
such as Wade Hampton and the
famous poet, Henry Timrod. We
then traveled to the birthplace of
Woodrow Wilson, and our last
stop was at the WIS radio and
TV station.
We had an engagement to ap
pear on “The Specs Show” at 4:30 :
p. m. Mr. Munzell introduced us
to Kay Collins and we spent some
time with her in her office. On
the TV show, we sat around and
talked “panel” style. Mazie Bissei,
a native of Newberry, sang, anu
Spec interviewed each of us and
asked questions about our work
as Home Demonstration club mem- J
bers. We explained that our pz-o-,
ject for two years had been c.>f- 1
Roadside Park, told him how we
started it and how so many neip-
ed us make it a success. We
showed him pictures we had made,
before we started the project, and
some taken after* it was finished.
He was impressed with the work,
especially the little brook flowing
through the park with the bridge j
to walk into the park, and a iittie
register case fastened on a large
loblolly pine. He was curious a |
to the distant places from which
white accessories and a white car
nation corsage. >
Following the ceremony, the
couple received in the vestibule of
the church. They left during the
evening for a trip through the
Southern states. For the trip, the
bride changed to a light blue taf
feta princess-style dress with blue
organdy duster and white acces
sories. Her corsage was the or
chid from hez* Bible.
Mrs. Singley is a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. Boyd Robertson
of Newberry. She is a graduate
of Newberry High School and
will graduate from the Greenville
General Hospital School of Nurs
ing in September.
Mr. Singley is the son of the
late Mr. and Mrs. Willie Ernest
Singley Sr. His homC is with an
aunt, Mrs. Maggie Koon. He is a
graduate of Prosperity High
School and is stationed at Brook-
ley Air Force Base, Mobile, Ala
bama, where he is an Airman
Second class in the U. S. Air
Force.
Mr. and Mrs. Singley will make
their home at Mobile.
Among the parties given in hon
or of Mrs. Singley before her mar
riage was a buffet supper, held at
the home of the bride's parents or.
Friday might, August 16. Host
and hostess were Mr. and Mrs.
R. Aubrey Harley.
Fourteen guests enjoyed this
delightful affair. The dining room
table, from which the buffet was
served, was covered with a hand
made lace cloth, and was centered
with an arrangement of Ginger
Lilies, grown by Mrs. Harley, in
a silver container. The guest of
honor, who was attractively attir
ed in-a black and white costume,
was presented a white carnatior
corsage. • •
A luncheon-shower was given in
honor of the bride by Mrs. Ralph
B. Baker at her home on Main
people had registered and we told
him we had registrations from as
far away as New Mexico, Cana
da, California and Alaska. We
have a banan$ plant beside the
park with a bunch of bananas
growing on it now. This plant
was given to us by S. C. Long .of
Pomaria, and David Wedaman Jr.
and J. C. Berley see to it that
the plant is taken care of through
the winter by taking it up and
putting it in a store building in
the fall. In the Spring, they plant
it again at the park and Mr. Ber
ley sees thaj it is watered.
We had a nice time on the TV
program and received useful gifts
from Specs.
This ended our tour and we re
turned to our homes after an en-'
joyable day.
