AS THE EDITOR SEES IT
TOO often in large families,
or
any families for that matter, do the
children get scattered and
come together again except
clrio-n
or
a
fnnpral nf a loved one. The contem
plated home visits fizzle 'till a
more
convenient time.'
Every summer since the dejuh
Rev. J. V. Davis five years ado. the
five sons of Mr. Davis have beeil com
ing here to visit their step-nj
other.
And they made their 1927 visit this
past week-end Claude, Frank,
Law
rence and Willie, from Columbia, and
i
Charlie from Congaree. Mrs
Davis
is not their own mother eiohef
but
their step-mother; and yet these fivjnothing of the rowing on the ,vater,
grown brothers make a point o
ing a reunion with her once a
Their example is worth your
tion.
And, incidentally, this not
hav- i
year.
htten-
only
betokens a fine spirit on the part of
these young men, but shows that this
lady must have made a more
than
satisfactory step-mother.
A visitor this past week up beyond
the Blue Ridge, over around M lrphy,
was a Rockinsrham banker, Leake
Covinerton. And while basking in the
coolness of that higher climate, he
attended a banquet of bankers at
High Hampton.
And "High Hampton" calls td
mind
an historical incident that perhaps j
many younger readers know nothing
of. Back in the hectic days of the
'Seventies, when South Carolina
girded herself to redeem the state
from Carpetbag government the
Democrats in convention assembled
nominated Gen. Wade Hampt n as
the standard bearer for Governor.
And the unusual situation existed
wherein one State had to send to
another State for the candidate! then
have him notified in still a third
Jstate. At the time Gen. Hampton
.
resided in South Carolina, but spent
much of his time on a plantation he
uwneu in iviississippi ; ana still more
A J - HIT? i
of his time was spent in the North
Carolina mountains, where- he had
built a home and called it 'High
Hampton," to distinguish it frdm his
Hampton home down in the Pa
metto j
State
When nominated he 4as in I
l
Mississippi, and when notified bf the !
nomination, a delegation had tt visit!,
him at "High Hampton."
Anyway, he swept the State,
ed out the negroes and black
faced
whites, and redeemed his people.
