This cookinp- is of a very particu- '
lar kind which ordinary fouls can
not do as satisfactorily as char-'

rook a steak equally well on an
outdoor charcoal prill or on what's

These charcoal?pots are partially

Table Rock State Park in Pick-(
:t ens county may be easily reached
; from four different directions,
i Heretofore the principal road to!
the park led from Pickens via U. |
j. S. Highway 178 for eight miles to
f Price's Store and thence by paved]
e county road six miles to Table
/ Rock State Park. However, it is
f now?possible to go from Pickens,
0 via paved S'ale Highway "183 to
Pumpkintown and thence to the
f park all by paved road." A new
1 by State Highway 135 to PumpkinS
POlltr* i< A! -
- ... w; w? uuu tiiuncu
- town, and thoncc. to the park, all
of this route is paved. Another
- route is to leave U. S. Highway!
- 27G between Caesar's Head and'
;. Greenville and "turn south on the
e nupaved portion of Highway 183
f to Pi.mpkintown and thence by
J paved road to the' park. t
All of these roads pass through
the beautiful Ooloney River Valri
ley. Pumpkintown is just four
t miles from the entrance to the
1 park. Pumpkintown was a favorite
=?locality for the Indians prior to
1. the advent of the white man. This
2 is attested by twenty foot -roek~
1 Indian mound on the Sutherland
, farm at this place. Oolenoy is said1
to be an Indian w ord meaning
= 'land of grain." When the white2
man took over the valley he, too,
i raised grain and the grist mill on
t Weaver's Creek has been operat
ing since prior to the War Be
tween the States, turning a "sash,?
?_saw-mill-in?its?oa4-lior days and a
5 gritft mill since it was established.
' "The lumber for the famous old
i hotel at Table Rock was cut at
:this mill, fitted together and then
? transported to the building sito,"
? advised Mr. J. E. Sutherland.
x auiu noes siate Park has been
'developed in a way to enhance the
J charm of this mountainous commu
t nity in that the,five ehr.rming va
cation cabins are made of hand-'
1 hewn logs and the roofs are of
hand rived oak shingles. Each cot-[
tage is screened from the others
by intervening yegation but from
' each can be had vistas of the tre-J
; mendous mass of granite from
which this park takes it name. At j
5 the foot.*)f this great rock the C.C.j
C. boys have constructed a beauti1
fu 1 lake which acts as a mirror
1 for the rock and a place for swim-'
ming and boating.
' The high elevation of Table (
Rock State Park makes it highly
desirable for vacationing during |
!, the hot xur.mu'i' mtmtly-as the tem
I other places of the state, particularly
after night-fall. The great
" lock is .'1,200 feet above scr. level.

LIBERAL PRESS i
We cannot overlook the liberal
gestures being madt. by the daily
newspapers of New York toward
the Negro group. One of the la
test, and by far th(^ most out
--standing, was the publication in
the New York Post on June 22,
a society feature article by Ted
Poston, Hopkinsville, Ky.. ycruth
and former student of Tenn. A
and I. State college \vbose rise in
New York journalism has been
rapid. On the front page of The
Post, in the summary of contents,
appeaiyd this legend: "Harlem
Cafe Society agog as uptown glamour
girl makes her bow to socio-.
ty in formaf-debut -at -Renaissance |
I Ballroom. Page 3."
A 1 " 1
rtnu on page over a twoculumn
cut of the very -charming ,
society editor of- the New York
Age, appeared the caption: "Glamour
Girl No. 1 Makes her bow to
Harlem's Elite," while beneath th$
cut-ran the . legend: "Wezlynn
[ Margaret?Devellc Tildon, Harlem Debutante;
Physician's Daughter
| 18, Has Debut?600 Attend Party.".
j Then followed quite a long story
excerpts from which read: "HarI
iem's own Brenda Frazier,- the No.

' politely but firmly shielded from

DIVINK HOLDINGS NOW
$262,000 IN INSTATE N. Y.
New York?(C)?Holdings ol
Father*- Divine and his "angels",
acquired in Ulster county, in
Kingston and nearby towns, since
11)35, are estimated as being
worth $212,000, and it is estimated
that?$50,000. more has been
spent in improvements, making a
AotaL vuLuaikm of $202,000^ aceording
to ajJtront pagr feature in _
the Herald-Tribune Monday morn
ing. It is believed the properties,
s6me twenty five in number,
"Wi e bought. for"ab<yat $212,000.
The Divineites keep their "kingrlonK"
nrtrl
clean, and all followers, both
white and colored, pay allegiance
to Divine as "God", it is reported.
Divine's recent addition to his _
holdings in fashionably Sutton ?
Manor on Long Island Sound has
caused consternation among some "
whites. Divine bought several of
his properties through white women
who paid cash in bills of
large dominations. Banks selling
the properties did not know they
were going to Divine until the
deeds had been executed.
White and colored "angels" livo
in the ''kingdom." in "perfltf-t
peace", it is reported, a fact
which has caused much concern
among Some whites not of the Li-,
vine faith.
