THANK YOU NOTES WERE LATE

In the confusion of getting our new daughter
Strengthened out, thank you notes mighty late h
getting out.
u suggested the following note but doubt that the
wife took seriously.
I'm late in saying thanks for the nice gift Won
brought but in the month that I've been with NV
parents they have been too confused and befuddled
TO give me spare moment for letter writing
When they finally decided l wasn't going to break
INTO thousand pieces and would let them know
When wanted something, things became bit more
bcarable Now, | almost have them on a regular
schedule.
Thank you, again, for the lovely gift and come
TO see me soon; The nurses at Dr. Howard Smiths
tune reach my first birthday so don't take chances
py waiting that long to pay another visit"
Thank YOU B

PROUD HISTORY

bus county has proud history -
one that we don't realize until a
celebrity calls our attention to it.
When Governor Hodges spoke here
recently, he quickly outlined some of
the Columbus history that most of US
hadn't thought about in a long time,
if ever.
Here are some of the things the
Governor said about the history of
our county:
You have a proud history and
have made great contributions to this
section of your State. Your county
was named for the discoverer of the
New World and was formed from
Bladen and Brunswick in 1903. James
B. White, for whom the county seat,
Whiteville, is named, was a member
of the General Assembly in 1909.
while Wynn Nance and Thomas Frink
set in the House Of Commons.
During the Revolutionary War,
what is now known as Columbus
County was the scene of several Skin
mishes between the Patriots and
British soldiers, one at Pireway, and
another in Welches Creek township.
Lord CORVALLIS, in his retreat from
Guilford Courthouse to Wilmington,
traversed the northeast corner of the
county.
In the soil of this county lie
the last remains of Major General
20 CT Howe, famous Revolutionary
hero. He and Elizabeth Hooper.
daughter of William Hooper, one of
the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence. are both buried at Way
man Church.
&c o | m b S County had many
heroes in the War of Independence.
Ensign Shadrcah Wooten, who is bur
led in Western Prong Cemetery in
the Northern end of the county, as
we'll as Captain Absolom Powell. of
Lake Waccamaw, We're brilliant and
outstanding officers of this conflict.
I'm the War Between the States
your county had record of service
that was most outstanding. II had q
large contingent of officers and men
fighting with the Confederate Army.
... -,-.".eu great losses like the rest
OF the State and South. This patriotic
record OF service has continued
,..c e. sans ...u uyucT wars, of
course"
Then the Governor shifted his
praise UI Columbus IRON the military
TO agriculture and on this subject he
said, agriculture has long been the
malnStay in the economic life of this
county - as is true of most of our
counties. In 1881 Columbus produced
A,3oO bushels of wheat, g,l55 bushels
OF corn, I2o barrels OF turpentine.
-i.Vjo pounds OF cotton and 6.724
ro"Ads OF wool. However, people of
tat day lived almost exclusively from
me manufacture OF yellow pine TIM
Der and the turpentlne industry.
During this period, turpentine
stills sprang up over the county at
every crossroad, Whiteville, Old
Dock, Bolton, Britton's Ferry, Cerro
uordo, Iron Hill, Pine Log, Cherry
Grove, and all over other sections of
the county doomed under the momen-
tum of this new industry. However,
after 1873, the turprntine business
declined rapidly.
Today your agricultural land
shows great difference, with heavy
