berry, S. C.
Mrs. Summer
program leader
U.D.C. meeting
Mrs. Walter Summer gave a
most interesting and inspiring
program to the members of
Calvin Crozier Chapter, U.D.C.
at the November meeting. The
meeting was held in the home
of Mrs. W. O. Miller, with the
following serving as associate
hostesses: Mrs. S. D. Paysin-
ger, Mrs. W. H. Tedford, Mrs.
P. D. Johnson, Sr., and Mrs.
A. H. Counts. On arrival of the
guests the hostesses served de
lightful refreshments. Mrs. F.
Scott Elliott presided and Miss
Dorothy Buzhardt, Chaplain,
conducted the ritual and the
pledge to the flag. Miss Juanita
Hitt, historian, introduced Mrs.
Walter Summer, guest speaker,
who so graciously did the pro
gram for Mrs. W. W. Parr,
the program leader for Novem
ber. The November meeting was
the chapter’s observance of the
South Carolina Tricentennial.
Mrs. Summer the former Mary
Baker, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph B. Baker, illustra
ted her talk with interesting
and valuable historical relics.
Among these relics were: A
framed copy, printed and
mounted on satin, of the Char
leston Mercury bearing the date
Dec. 20, 1860, and printed there
on in large and bold type were
the words, “Union Dissolved”.
A most unique exhibit was the
framed voting ballot when Wade
Hampton ran for governor of
South Carolina in 1876. Another
interesting newspaper was re
viewed. This was an Abbeville,
S. C. paper carrying an account
of the death of Gen. Martin
Gary, and was loaned to Mrs.
Summer through the courtesy
of Mr. William Thompson: An
epaulet, worn on the Confede
rate naval uniform of David
Ewart and a beautiful old hand
made quilt which belonged to
Mrs. Summer’s mother-in-law,
Mrs. Florence Bowman Sum
mer. Following the exhibit of
historical relics, Mrs. Summer
spoke about Wade Hampton and
his contributions as a soldier
and a citizen of South Carolina.
She described Wade Hampton as
a “giant in gray”, standing
6’2”, and weighing 200 pounds.
Wade Hampton liked to ride
and to hunt. He especially liked
to hunt bears and killed some
80 of these large animals with
his knife blade. Before the Con
federate War, Wade Hampton
was probably the wealthiest
man in South Carolina. Every
thing desirable in life was his
in abundance: breeding, good
looks, power, land and money.
Three thousand slaves worked
on his plantation. His home,
Millwood, was a jewel of luxury
set amid two thousand acres of
rich bottom land. Ten thousand
books filled the library at Mill-
wood. Wade Hampton marched
away to war as South Caroli
nian’s richest man—he return
ed the poorest. He had seen
both his sons fall, one fatally.
His big body carried five
wounds, his fields were in ruins
and his beautiful mansion was
laid in ashes by Sherman.
Wade Hampton was 43 years
of age when he became a sol
dier of the Confederacy. Part
ly at his own expense he raised
and equipped a legion of troops
composed of cavalry, infantry
and artillery. This unit of the
Confederate Army was to be
come known as the famous
Hampton Legion. Hampton had
no formal military training but
he had the natural ability to
command. Hampton was made
a major general and re-placed
Gen. Jeb Stuart when he fell
at Yellow Tavern. Hampton re
placed Stuart as chief of caval
ry in Virginia. He was promoted
to lieutenant general before the
war was over. After the war,
Hampton returned to South Car
olina and used all the strength
he had to rebuild his native
state. He was the moving force
that saved South Carolina, from
the claws of Reconstruction. He
organized the famous Red Shirt
Brigade and drove the swarms
of political locusts from South
Carolina. He served as gover
nor and as U. S. Senator.
The chapter observed Vete
ran’s Day and the birthday of
Gen. A. P. Hill. A memorial
service was held in memory of
Mrs. Geneva Bickerstaff and
Mrs. Vanessa Holt. A tribute
to Mrs. Bickerstaff was written
and read by Miss Juanita Hitt.
A tribute to Mrs. Holt was writ
ten by Mrs. Maggie Hartley
and read by Mrs. James
Werts.
The chapter made plans to
honor the Real Daughters of
the chapter at the Christmas
Dinner party, Dec. 8, at 7:30
p.m. in Kaufmann Hall on the
Newberry College campus. Real
Daughters of the chapter are:
Miss Dorothy Buzhardt, Mrs.
H. M. Bryson, Miss Mazie Do
minick, Mrs. Mildred Renwick
Martin, Mrs. W. O. Miller, Mrs.
Mary Buford Cromer, and Mrs.
James Werts.

defeat
favored Samford
The sleeping Newberry In
dians came alive Saturday and
exploded to a 35-21 victory over
the Bulldogs from Samford Uni
versity at Setzler Field.
Tailback Donald Garrick rush
ed for 153 yards in 23 carries
to bring his total to 1073 in 171
carries for the year. Fullback
Jimmy Fulton carried 28 times
for 142 yards and freshman
quarterback Tommy William
son completed 9 of 11 passes
for 128 yards plus 111 yards
rushing.
The Indians and Bulldogs
played nip and tuck ball for
the first half with the tribe scor
ing first on a four-yard pass
from Williamson to Johnny
Dawkins set up by a 64 yard
scramble by Williams from the
Indian 34. Samford scored with
27 seconds left in the first quar
ter on a 26 yard pass from
quarterback Way land Trammel
to Larry Cox.
In the second quarter New
berry scored twice on a one-
yard run by Garrick and a nine
yard pass from Williamson to
Howdy Hayes. Trammel and
Cox paired again to give Sam
ford their second score of the
game on a 36 yard pass. It was
Newberry margin of 21-14 at
halftime.
Samford evened the score for
the last time with two minutes
remaining in the third quarter
on a 31 yard romp by Phil
Holmes.
The straw that broke the bull
dogs back came two minutes
later when tailback Donald Gar
rick took a pitchout and raced
72 yards for the Newberry
score. An insurance touchdown
by Williamson in the fourth
quarter and sparkling Indian
defensive play sealed the door
shut for the Bulldogs.
Newberry racked up 579 yards
on 94 offensive plays while 20
point favorite Samford could
muster only 286 yards in 48
plays. This brings Newberry’s
record to 4-6 while Samford is
5-4.

tween Newberry and Presbyte
rian will be held on Thanks
