BURKE M, WISE, Clerk of Court RALPH B. BLACK, Auditor, J. RAY DAWKINS, Treasurer. February 18th, 1959. Newberry, S. C. By The Way By Oorla A. Bandera WATCH YOURSELF Again I am quoting from Mr. Clemson Eleazer who says: “Re member there is a Carol in Caro lina, not a Cal. The stranger who comes here and calls it Calina has already placed two strikes against himself. And it’s hard for him to make a hit after that. It’s CAROL- ina.” Mr. Eleazer is right—we object to hearing strangers pronounce the beautiful name of our state “Calina.” However, strangers are not to be so denounced when many, many Carolinians pronounce it the same way. Just keep your ears open and you’ll find I’m right. As a “for instance,” we have been teaching Connie to say Car-o-lina” correcting her each time she didn’t pronounce it correctly. The other day she heard me say the word, and promptly corrected me be cause I had slurred over the “r” without realizing it. Many others do the same—without realizing it, so let’s not criticize strangers for doing the same thing we do.
