Thirty-nine years ago, during the strug-
gle of the States. Northern soldiers pur-
sued John Starnes, in Rutherford Coun-
ty this State. He was so frightened
that he turned over a box on himself and
ever since then he has made that box his
home. starnes is a real wild man, and
he lives four miles northwest of Blacks
burg, s. c.. Just over the North Car
olina line. He is afraid of cows sheep
and people. If a person runs up to him
he biinks at them and runs away, ours
ing loudly His long exile from the hu-
man kind has not diminished his vocab-
ulary of expleuves-in fact as the years
roll by he seems to grow more proficient
Starnes' box home is surrounded by
poles set deep in the ground, and these
hide him from prying eyes. Here he
lives in good health. He has never been
sick day. Before the civil war starnes'
father was a Matchmaker. and the wild
man now wears "a hat whose manufac-
ture antedates that period He cooks his
meals with hot rocks on a table of stone.

He intends to finish his life as he has
already lived in 1t for more than quar-
ter of a century.
