UDC Chapter
Enjoys Review
Of Rebel Diary
Members of Drayton Ruther
ford Chapter gathered at the home
of Mrs. Gumie Summer for a
morning meeting in May. All
were invited to the dining room
to serve themselves from platters
of dainty, delicious refreshments.
Mrs. Lonnie Gilliam poured coffee
while two other hostesses, Mes-
dames D. O. Carpenter and Geo.
McCall saw that all were served.
Mrs. Frank Lominack’s absence as
a hostess was regretted by all.
The business meeting was op
ened with the salutes to the
flags led by the president, Mrs.
Ralph B. Baker; the Ritual led by
Mrs. Hunter Brown in the absence
of the chaplain, Mrs. J. J. Chap
pell. As is the custom the Histor
ical program follows these open
ing exercises.
Mrs. Ralph P. Baker, chose for
her subject a new book by Charles
Magee, Jr., a native of Greenville,
teacher of English at Clemson col
lege and Ernest M. Lander, Jr. of
Calhoun Falls, teacher of history
and government at Clemson. The

Newberry, S. C.
Home”, and the foundation for
its compilation is the “diary*' of
a granddaughter of John C. Cal
houn whose mother was the fav
orite daughter of Calhoun and his
wife Floride Bonneau Calhoun and
who had married Thomas G. Clem
son. The baby girl was born Dec
ember 29 1842 at Fort Hill, the
Calhoun home, and was named
for her two grandmothers, the
first name seems to have been
dropped later.
The “Diary” of this daughter of
Dixie covers the period from Jarf.
L 1863 to October 24, 1866, years
nlled \£ith momentous events in
the history of the nation. At this
period (around 1842) Calhoun was
trying to retire from public life,
but by 1843 he was again in poli
tics, back in Washington, and was
appointed Secretary of State by
President Tyler. One of his first
acts was to appoint his six foot,
six inch imposing looking, French
speaking son-in-law as diplomat
to Belgium and the Clemson fam
ily went to Brussels where they
lived for seven years, returning
after Mr. Calhoun’s death in 1850.
Upon his return, Clemson was
appointed head of the Agricultural
department of the Patent office,
and they lived in Maryland.
When Floride was 14 she was
sent to a boarding school in Phil
adelphia conducted by her father's
sister. She was a good student
and with a brilliant mind made
remarkable progress, showing a
talent for art, proficient in Ger
man, speaking French fluently, ex
celling in piano and developing a
really fine singing voice.
The years following until 1861
she spent in visiting and enter
taining in her home, with long
visits to Grandmother Calhoun who
waA.jprjiud to show off her pretty,
talented granddaughter; then
back to Washington during Presi
dent Buchanan’s administration,
where she attended large official
functions and receptions at the
White House.
It was in 1861, just after her
20th birthday that she spent the
Christmas ’ holidays in Baltimore
with friends and began the
“Diary”. This contains three full
Narratives—her trip to Niagara
Falls and Canada in 1863; the
terrible journey that she and her
mother made from Maryland to
South Carolina in 1864; and the
final illness of her grandmother,
Mrs. John C. Calhoun. Their long
and comfortless journey consumed
12 days by boat, carriage, rail
road and cart over 500 miles from
Maryland to Pendleton. Here she
learned of the deprivations of the
war and learned how to “make
do”. She had seen her father and.
brother go to war at the beginn-i
ing; now her diary tells of her bro
ther being a prisoner at Johnsons
Island, Ohio, and of the many
friends and relatives killed, wound
ed or in prison. She also tells of
the many deprivations as to food
and clothing and that the word
“substitutes” is on everyone’s
lips, adding “I have become a
great carpenter and cobbler of old
and b.’oken things and do the tink
ering and mending of the house”.
“Oh, these are dreadful times to
live in”. He brother arrived home
in June 1865 from prison, having
walked the last 80 miles. Her
father arrived from Texas in July
in a wagon, with only Confederate
money and ten cents in silver.
On October 26, 1866 Floride
made the last entry in her “Di
ary”, as she was leaving for visits
with relatives and friends. The

County Native
Died Monday
Ninety Six.—Thomas Guy Mc-
Kittrick, 72, retired farmer of the
Cambridge section, died at his
home Monday following a brief
illness.
He was a native of Newberry
county, a son of the late James
and Mary Workman McKittrick.
He had lived in the Ninety Six
area since -1935. He was a jnem-
ber of the Grassy Fork Pentecos
tal Holiness church.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs.
Mattie Crowder McKittrick, two
daughters, Mrs. Doris Balchin of
the Cambridge section and Miss
Ruth McKittrick of the home; 3
sons, Wilbur and Ralph Crowder,

married to Gideon Lee of New
York, an older brother of one of
her former suitors. Floride Isabel
la Lee was born in May 1870, but
her fond mother lived only until
July of the following year and is
buried in the Lee plot in Raymond
HB1 cemetery*.Carmel, N. Y. Just
18 days after Floride’s death, her
brother, Calhoun, last surviving
child of Thomas and Anna Clem
son was killed in an accident on
the Blue Ridge railroad. Thus
ended the short but many-sided life
of Floride Clemson. Her “Diary”
shows her at times to have been
strong-willed, critical, and some
times boastful, but these charac
teristics were far outweighed by
her kindness, compassion, loyalty,
and devotion. That she was wise
beyond her years is shown by the
fact that as a 7-year old child
living in Belgium she took her
grandfather Calhoun’s motto for
her own—“The duties of Life are
greater than Life itself”. The
dedicated seriousness of this per
vaded the rest of her short life.
The members were loath to get
down to business after the ab
stract of this interesting book had
been so delightfully presented by.
Mrs. Baker.
The minutes of the April meet
ing were read by the secretary,
Mrs. A. J. Briggs and approved.
The president gave as information
that some other contacts had been
made by members of her commit
tee relative to the Opera House,
and an informative discussion fol-

lowed. Mrs. Wright, vice-president
had a copy of a suggested consti
tution sent out by the Division
President, Mrs. Archie Watson,
who urges every chapter not only
to have a Constitution and By-
Laws but to- go- strictly' by same
in the conduct of a chapter.
Mrs. Elmer Shealy reported all
C. of C. dues paid to their divis
ion and General C. of C. Also that
Miss Cromer has resigned as lead
er of the Elementary group, but
with some one to help her with
this group, the chapter hopes that
she will reconsider.
Mrs. Walter Summer and Mrs.
Shealy were delegates to the
Ridge District Conference. Mrs.
Summer, as vice-dlirector, was as
signed several duties on the pro
gram. Both reported a good meet
ing, and the two Newberry Chap
ters invited the Conference for
1963. The Edgefield Chapter sent
an invitation to members of the
chapter and their friends to attend
the annual Oakley Park# Basket
Picnic on May 19. The program
begins at 11 A. M. The President
General, Mrs. Robert Bachman* of
Washington, D. C. will be the
speaker.
The June meeting will be held
at the country home of Mrs. E. E.
Westwood on Tuesday, June 6.
1 IN SOOTH CAROLINA, the Confederates won the only two
^ «t>^§9jtl«rtd battles fought Id the state, first at Seceeskmville on
” James island and later at Old Pocdtaligo or Ydfnassee. The
federal# lost 1,023 of 8,062 men engaged, and the Confederates
367 out of 1,875.
Even then, beer was South Carolina's traditional
beverage of moderation. Beer stiff provides en
joyment for South Carolinians, and a good living
for many of them — not only employees of the
brewing industiy itself, but also for South Caro
lina farmers and other suppliers of materials
brewers use. i
TODAY, in its centennial year, the United States
Brewers Association still works constantly to as
