old OK named Mike. He was of a
dark yellow tan and what a friend
to all of our family he was. He was
gentle until tickled at the root of
his tail then he would run away
and make a good job Of it, too.
Brother Earnest was the teamster
and the chief one in solving a bet
ter method to attend preaching
at night than to walk three miles
over mostly sand hills. There was a
large and long rail body cart at
our place and Brother got busy
at work on it, converting it into
a comfortable vehicle. All the sides
and bottom we're floored with good
lumber quite different from the
present in securing building ma
teriaD. We were informed that a
certain night for all passengers to
be ready before shutdown to at
tend church. Our favorite cousin,
Marry Belle who lives close our
home and our cousin Ida and
Tobitha, were always u faithful
standbys. Then Jeff from up ahead.
All were in high glee TO- the new
arrangements in travelling to
preaching. A comfortable seat was
made in the bottom of cart, Moth
err let us put an old mattress in the
bottom. We young folks began to
make preparations for this trip
soon after dinner dishes we're wash
ed.
Always kept a supply of Colly
Mills Facto~wy Baskets on hand
for to use. They were filled with
white S%cuppernong grapes. We girls
did this job while the boys at odd
chances from the cane work would
trim up several stalks Of sugar
cane and place it in order IN our
new rig. And readers, let me tell
you, we asked no odds in attend
ing preaching services at dear ola
bethlehem church after that. OF
course we only attended the night
services, reaching old Colly Mills
vicinity just at dust.
The faithful old team was then
unhitched and carefully put away
with plenty O. nubbins in a stable
that was used for any n who
needed it. The church vas just a
short distance across the branch
and always a good foot way that
pedestrians used. Frequently not
all of the passengers who started
reached their destination, or at
least not with the others. AS / have
stated the team was gentle ex-
cept when tickled at hteroot OF
his tail. Such run aWays then as
never before been heard Of round
about.
But the wheel of progress brings
many changes in many ways to
many people and many places.
In the near future I shall write OF
more changes around my old home,
but 1 feel sure none were happier
days than those old times at my
old home way down in between the
rivers here and there. Yes, those
were dear and precious days. I
like to think about them and l
like to write about them.

Congressman lnteryened on Behalf of Muniiion
 Makers 5 Captain Son

WASHINGTON, July 25.- The Senate War Investigating Commit tee today released correspondence showing that Rep. May (D-Ky) appealed to Gen. Dwight D. Eisen- hover for clemency in the court marital of Capt. Joseph H. Cars sen, son of munitions maker now under committee investigation.
 Two letters from May to Eisen- hover were submitted to the com mittee as part of its inquiry into the war profits of midwest muni- tions combine-which was promoted by Murray Carson, father of Capt. Carson. Also included was EissnhoWer's answer to Mays first letter
 May, who is scheduled to tell the Senate committee tomorrow about his activities on behalf of the Cars son combine, told Eisenhower in a letter April 12, 1945, that he spoke as a warm personal friend" of the elder Carson.
 That, of course, is my interest in the matter" the chairman of the House military affairs commit tee wrote.
 Eisenhower replied April p that he was referring Mays letter to the proper authorities
 The War Department earlier re- ported that the letters were handled in the routine manner" and that they did not influence in the dis position of the case
 Capt. Carson, the Department said, was court martialed April 2, 1S45, on a charge of willfully dis oheying orders. He was found gull ty, but the court recommended clemency. Eisenhower eventually accepted such a recommendation and suspended sentence. Carson was relieved from active duty on January 22, 1945.
 The charges against Carson were based on his refusal to carry out orders to occupy an area which he felt was "tactically unsound." Other officers testified in his defense that his judgment was correct.
