WACKSTRAx WILLIS OF
BAYLEVEL Is HUSBAND
OF MISS TORSO TOLER
By Miss Pinkie Perry

CATFISH CORNER-In an at
mosphere somewhat peaceful by
comparison with events of the
day before, Wackstrax Willis OF
Bay Level became the husband
of Miss Torso Toler of Gar
Creek in an appropriate Fathers
Day setting, the ceremony being
performed by Rev. Peppercorn
Parker of Square Hill Creek.
Miss Caddie Lena Cartwright
and Miss Fairwater Foster at
tended the bride, while brothers
of the bride attended the bride
groom, during and for sometime
before the wedding. The bride is
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Turgid Toler of Gar Creek. Her
brothers and men of honor are
Trinculo and Turgid Toler Jr.
There had been talk for sew
eral weeks in this vicinity about
the probability of a wedding, but
no announcement was made
until Saturday afternoon when
the bridegroom accompanied by
the Messers Toler returned from
getting the license. The candi-
date-elect was wearing black
eye due to differences earlier in
the day with both his future
brothers-in-law at one time, but
is said to have changed his mind,
and agreed to their way of
thinking sometime during Sat-
urday afternoon.
The bridegroom is the son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Zeppo Whambo
Willis of Bay Level, and after a
year at Oak Head Academy went
in the Navy at the start of the
Korean war. The bride attended
Fetherpeke Institute for women
this past term as housekeepers
assistant. and was honorably dis
charged at the end of the term.
Both young people are widely
known throughout this area, and
are famous for their ability to do
without sleep at night, having

were finally spotted as they
were preparing breakfast over
an open fire. Deputy Drew Long,
assisted by those who had aided
in running down the couple,
made the arrests.
! It is understood that the wo-
mans attire was so completely
shredded by the months of travel
through the underbrush and
swampland that it was necessary
to send to nearby Waccamaw
Township for a dress for her to
wear while being carried to

It is understood that the hus-
band of Mrs. Smith is still will
ing to forget the past and make
up. According to reports, he
visited her in Jail last summer
and entreated that she return to

she left with Barnes when bond
was obtained for the two.

MAN AND WOMAN
WENT WILD IN
BRUN SWICK co.
Sordid Story of One Pair Of
People in Carolina
I'm The Southport Pilot
BY w. B. KEZIAH

George Barnes and Louise
Smith, both of Waccamaw, are
being held in the Brunswick
County Jail at Southport in de-
fault of $4,000 bond apiece. They
are charged with just about
everything in the book.
Barnes, well past the middle
aged stage, is charged with
breaking and entering, robbery
and fornication and adultry The
Smith woman, who is % : years
old, is charged with fornication
and adultry with Barnes, and
with breaking and entering, and
with deserving her three chill
dren.
The two had led the remote
lives of swamp people" for the
past months, according to
Brunswick County officers who
arrested them around noon
Thursday on the Columbus
County side of Waccamaw
River.
The unsanitary conditions of
the couple was hard to describe
in words. One officer in the
party that aided in capturing
them said that winter under
shirt worn by Barnes appeared
to be about l p inches thick due
to the fact that it hadn't been
Numbered in quite a while.
Barnes hadn't shaved since
January, at the time when the
two began their wild life in
the Waccamaw swamplands.
Neither of the pair had ap-
parently tried to stay "the best
of friends" with soap and water
during their tenure in the woods.
The Brunswick twosome's
troubles began early last sum-
mer. Louise Smith left her hus-
band and three children by their
marriage, preferring the man =
George Barnes = who is said to
be old enough for her father.
They lived in the Waccamaw
community until they were ar
rested for fornication and
adultry.
Held in the Southport Jail for
some time, they finally managed
to secure bond for their appear
ance at the September, 1858,
term of Superior Court. But,
they failed to appear at the term
and their arrest was ordered,
coupled with instructions to
raise the bond of each to $4,000.
Returning to Brunswick's
Waccamaw Township in Janu-
airy, they built crude brush shell
tiers in the swamps along the
Waccamaw River and, report
eddy, in the Green Swamp, also
Their livelihood was carried on
through fish and berries they
cleaned from their natural habi-
tat, along with chickens, sweet
potatoes and other things they
managed to pilfer from the
stores of farmers neighboring
their swamp home.
Barnes and the Smith woman
moved from one of their crude
camps to another, very simple
procedure since neither of them
had anything to carry except the
few clothes they were wearing.

The Barcos irrigation system
consists of four shallow wells
(26 feet deep) and an eight horse

pumping 100 gallons per minute.
They irrigate about half an acre

at a time and it requires about
three hours to apply one inch of
water.
The Barco brothers also have
seven acres of early tomatoes
that are being irrigated with the
same system, says Banadyga.
