Dutch Fork Boy,
Editor’ Retires
J. 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.
