Crusoe Island Natives Have
Long and Courageous History
CRUSOE ISLAND NATIVES

CRUSOE ISLAND Natives
Crusoe Island is a name which
is familiar to every person in Co.
lumbus County, but there are
probably very few who know the
strange and yet picturesque history
OF the island and its inhabitants.
The small island of Haiti in the
Caribbean became a colony of
Spain approximately $50 years ago
and was heavily colonized by peo-
pie of Spanish and Portuguese
descent.
Then in the zoos the French
gained control of the highly COW
eted island under the terms of the
Peace of Ryswick, and in order
to balance the Spanish population,
French settlers were hurriedly
sent to the islands. They became
large plantation owners and many
became very wealthy.
In 1790-91 there was a great
Negro uprising against the French
and they were exterminated in
great numbers.
A few families were fortunate

enough to escape in a small boat
with a few scattered possessions.
Only a few tools and household
properties remained of their once
great estates.
They sailed with no thought of
destination and it was by chance
that they landed on the west bank
of the Cape Fear River somewhere
along the coast of Brunswick.
Afraid that they were still being
pursued they pushed inland until
they arrived at the Waccamaw
River where they found settle
ments along the banks of the river.
Here near these friendly people
they began a new life.
According to Ben Dixon Mac
Neill who wrote a story on the
origin of these people, "No colon
list ever came to America in so des-
titute a state as were these fugi-
tives from Haiti when they landed
in 1892 and probably none came to
a wilder land than was the swamp
country along the Waccamaw
River.

OF Leder Bros.
Columbus County has the dis
tinction OF being the first to have
a Leder Bros. store when one was
opened in Whiteville on June 25
1925.
Last month, Leder Bros. opened

the major factors in the success

they have set their goal hight

the public the best available mer-
chandise at the lowest possible

fury they lived in near seclusior
with the river as their only outlet
They engaged in agriculture and
wrested a living from the soil in
simple way. They did things in
their own way but a stern code OF
morals governed the island.
At first traditions of happier
days in France and Haiti flour
ished, but through the years they
faded away or were forgotten.
Slowly they forgot the written
and spoken tongue of France and
English began to creep in.
"They forgot how to spell their
names, the ways of the priest at
confessional and the holy rites that
had once been such an important
part of their life," said Mr.. Mac
Neill.
But there was one part of their
old life that was not forgotten
the way they built their chimneys.
They built them the exact way
that chimneys are built today in
Normandy and the way they have
been built for centuries. They
were built, or created, as a work
of art and were polished until they
were as smooth as marble. Today

even their chimneys are gone. Only
in rare instances can one be seer
still standing.
Over a period Of time English
took the place of French and the
old names such as De Saucierre
became Sasser and Cluveiries
changed to Clewis. However, we
are still reminded of the French
tradition today when we hear such
familiar names as Dubois, Hewitt,
Formy Duval, Dupre and Bor-
deaux.
The Crusoe Island of yesterday
is gone. There are few indications
today that this island and its So
ciety have ever at any time been
any different from the rest of the
county. They are prosperous
farmers and good friendly folk
who are admired for the great
courage which they and their an
cestors have shown.

IDEAS FOR
WOMEN
USE RAIsINGs IN MANY WAYS

USE RAISINGS IN MANY WAYS
Raisins, now in such bountiful
supply, are handy for the hurry
up cook. Here are reminders of
some quick ways to use them.
Sprinkle few on the top Of hot
breakfast cereal-to add sweetness
and variety-or use as ready pre-
pared cereals. Add raisins to the
breakfast muffin batter or include
them with the cooked pruneS for
the first meal of the day. Raisins
are sometimes used to fill 1.-The cent
ers of half grapefruit.
They are longtime favorites for
stuffing baked apples-and many
children like the min applesauce.
For the fruit cup that starts the
meal, add sprinkling of raisins
or add a handful to the salad
.bowl-good company especially
for shredded cabbage or grated
carrosts.
Press a raisin or two on top Of
cookies you make for the children.
Drop a few raisins on the bottom
OF the custard cup to give variety
to baked custard. Sprinkle raisins
over ice cream. Add raiSins to
meat loaves or to stuffing for pork
or poultry.
For filling sandwiches, raisins
may be used whole-with cream
cheese, for example, or chopped
with peanut butter. An easy way
to chop raisins is to put them
through a food grinder, or chop
on board with a sharp knife.

tackle would be Jim Ricca, the
