^Health Director Cites
Midpines Violations
Richard Steeves, HealthDirec-
tor of Cleveland County addres
sed tlie Cleveland County Board
of Health Thursday and cited
problems in the Midpines area
of Kings Mountain.
Steeves told the members that
unless steps were taken by the
citizens to comply with certain
health standards, legal action
would be taken.
Mr. Steeves told the MIRROR
that the board had been working
witli tlie citizens of Midpines
since early this year trying to
correct certain health prob
lems. The main problem cen
tered around the usage of 55
gallon drums for garbage dis
posal. “We advised the people
tliat tliese were illegal,” said
Steeves, “and tliat they would
liave to be changed.”
He went on furtlier to say that
many of the people tiad correc-
^Md tills problem and, were now
%^ing tlie .standard 32 gallon ga
lvanized containers.
Steeves told the MIRROR that
he wanted to work with the peo
ple over the matter and that a
public liearing had been held a
few months ago to explain the
problem. He continued by say
ing that almost everyone liad met
the requirements but a few had
not. According to Steeves, ab
out “six people have received
letters from our attorneys”
concerning the situation.
Each community in the county
receives attention from the boa
rd concerning healtli problems
in the areas of garbage dispos
al, water and air .oollution and
septic tank violations. Steeves
explained tliat violators of the
laws will be prosecuted and ad
ded, ‘we are not bl'uffing.”

Ferfpison Cont from Pg. 7
Patrick and Virginia lay
peacefully in their grave for
some 65 years, soon forgot
ten by survivors of the battle.
Then the grave of Maj. Pat
rick Ferguson was opened.
Skeletons Found
Robert Lee Durliam wrote
in the forum of a North Car
olina newspaper about 65 ye
ars after the Battle of Kings
Mountain:
■‘When the grave was poin
ted out to Dr. James W. Tra
cy by Old Man Harmon, 80-
year-old man who liad been
a boy of 15 visiting the scene
of the encounter and claim
ing to know Ferguson's bur
ial place, two skeletons were
found. Gne skeleton was that
of a woman-someting of a co
nfirmation of tlie tradition that
one of Col. (Maj.) Ferguson's
two mistresses, Virginia Sal,
was killed in the battle and
was buried in the grave witli
him.”
Last Request
After the Redcoats werede-
feated, an American officer
went to the tent and asked her
if there was anything he could
do for her.
• Patrick,” she whispered,
“bring him to me.”
The officer moved Virginia
near the camp fire and brou
ght the dead body of Fergu
son to He beside her.
•‘Please do something for
me,” she said in a faint
whisper. - Please bury me
in the same grave with Pat
rick, safe in his arms for
ever. Wrap us both in the
British flag for which we both
gave our lives.” The offic
ers standing by nodded they
would comply.
Virginia smiled her thanks,
and with a great effort rais
ed herself from the ground.
It took her last strength to
kiss the cold lips of her lov
er. Then her head fell for
ward and her beautiful long
blond hair fell across the
breast of the dead Redcoat.
Good Definition
If someone would ask you
why a ship is always referred
to as "she or her” you might
give this explanation. "It
costs a lot to keep her in
paint and powder, she’ll drift
off if you don’t keep her ti
down, she makes her best
showing in a high wind and
it takes a man to handle
her.”
Found
Two men were talking to
gether in the public library.
Said one: “The dime novel
has gone. I wonder where
it’s gone to?”
The other, who knew some
thing of literature in its
various phases, answered
cynically; "It’s gone to two
dollars and fifty cents.”
Nick Smith, Republican can-
• didate for Attorney General
of North Carolina, and a na
tive of Kings Mountain voiced
his support recently for an
Assistant Attorney General
whose job it would be to tra
vel to various parts of the
state on particular days to
hear about peoples problems,
and would report directly to
the Attorney General. "One
Assistant Attorney General
listening to citizens full time
would be better than twenty
sitting in Raleigh,” said
Smith, who says the office of
Attorney General is supposed
to represent the public Inter

fidence in many of our instl-
