M. “Jim” Eleazer, writer of the farm columns “Seen Along the Roadside,” also “Farm and Folks” which is seen regularly in The Sun, retired December 31. Eleazer, who majored in agro nomy at Clemson, was not pro- i fessionally trained as a writer, but has become noted through his columns as one of the most widely J read editors in the agricultural field. He started writing a farm column while serving as county agent in Saluda County in 1918. “I found the column to be very helpful in advancing ideas which | 1 hoped would aid in improving agriculture. “I am grateful that the news papers saw fit to print them,” he added. Eleazer is author of two books, “A Dutch Fork Farm Boy” pub lished by the University of South Carolina Press, and a book on ^conservation entitled, “Our Land Is Our Life.” He has contributed many arti cles to The Progressive Farmer magazine and periodically to practically all regional and na tional farm magazines. The American Association of Agricultural College Editors twice selected Eleazer’s columns as tops in the nation. In 1957 he was se lected by The Progressive Farmer magazine for the award of Man of the Year in South Carolina Ag riculture. The retirement is in accordance with Clemson College policy of re tiring personnel at age 65. He will retain an office with the Agricul tural Information Service at Clem son. In his columns, Eleazer inter laced new farm ideas with vivid descriptions of earlier life in the Spring Hill section of Lexington county shortly after the turn of the century. He described his father as a country doctor who kept two hor ses. “Brother and I farmed with the one he wasn’t driving,” he says. He has worked for the Clemson College Extension Service since 1917, having served in Jasper, Saluda and Sumter counties. He cdme to Clemson as information specialist in 1945. “Seen Along the Roadside” and “FgUjgns qnd Folks” -will be con tinued on a weekly basis. County Holidays Said Very Quiet Corporal W. J. Martin, of the State Highway department said Monday that he found the Xmas holidays very quiet in Newberry county, there being no serious wrecks The patrol officer who has been stationed at Newberry for 27 years stated that the coun ty’s deaths from automobile wrecks the past year, totaled only fivr as compared with 11 deaths in 1959. Cpl. Martin states that traffic J on Highway 176 has greatly de creased since traffic was opened on Highway 1-26. Patrolmen were busy Sunday night looking for the driver of a car which was the second car to hit a cow on the highway. The first driver reported strik ing a cow and while the officers were rounding her up, another car came by and struck the animal. Injuries Caused By Firecrackers Two Newberry youths suffered eye injuries in Newberry during the holidays as the result of ex ploding firecrackers. One of the youths received bruises to an eye, and the other suffered painfully as a pebble or some other object hit him in the eye. Wayne Morris, 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Morris, suf fered an injury which might re sult in the los of eyesight, in one of his eyes. It will probably be some time before the outcome is known. The other youth, Fores 1 ; Kibler, 15, a member of the 10th grade, had a firecracker apparently backfire and fly into his face and damaged one of his eyes by brus- ing it. It is believed that his eye sight will not be affected and that j he will be able to resume school work before long. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Kibler. Recent Marriages Joseph B.
