Two MISS VERA REPORTS South Carolina Porpoises Ready % To Push Bodies Out of Ocean By Vera Rhodes Will tell you about my trip to South Carolina. We arrived in Charleston Thurs day, April 29. We were a few days late for the lovely gardens of aza leas, camellies, magnolias. They were about finished blooming. The oleanders were in full bloom, red, white and pink. And roses in abun dance. We were visiting Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Reaves in the Chicco Apartments in the center of town. We went up town and down town to see the sights. Also out to the Battery, the most beautiful spot in Charleston. It’s also called the Great White Way. The ships were coming in and we saw a Dredge Boat at work. A lady was drowned the day we arrived at 11. They found the body at 4. I caught four fish Friday at Isle of Palm Peach on the Pier. It was too rough to go out on boats. We had a fish dinner that night which we all enjoyed. We saw 19 porpoise ready to keep the sharks away and push the drowned bodies out when any thing happened to anyone. We drove around, went down Rain Bow Road. Every house is a different color. It reminded me of California, all those pastel shades. We stopped and went in an old cemetery at the corner Broad and Meeting Streets which is known as the Four Corners of the Law be cause on one corner is the post of fice which is a government Law, then another corner a.state build ing which is a state law, across from that a county building which is a county law, and across from that a church which is the law of God. In this church yard was a tomb stone which was the head board of Mrs. Mary Ann Layton, who was an invalid many years be fore her death. She died May 9, 1770 and has been preserved and well kept ever since. We drove out the old Summer ville highway several miles where we visited Saint Andrews Church, which was built in 1706. Inside was a beautiful altar that was sent Accept My Sincere Thanks For the generous vote given me in the Primary Saturday. I appreciate the support given me and the confidence in me indicated by your vote. Janies D. Richardson Candidate for Constable To Our Many Friends! We graciously acknowledge and most sincerely appreciate your expressions of «E» confidence in your Wake County Sheriff’s jgjlj S^Sl, Deartment. Be assured that we shall con tinue to faithfully serve all the people to S JjPJI the best of our ability. Again ... we all say Ah Sheriff Robert J. Pleasants BBT mb from England. Also a balcony up in the back where the slaves wor shipped. It was the first mission ary work done among the colored race. There was a register for visi tors to register and date of visit. It was an old cemetery the thick grove all covered in moss; on the highway out to it were huge trees covered with moss hanging almost touching the top of cars and seem so cool. It looked like what they call lovers lane in olden times. But now any road or highway is lovers lane. You see a car coming and think there is but one in it and it turns out to be two when they almost run over you. There were two new graves at that church. They make them dif ferent from ours. They were about three feet long and a mound and a ditch dug around to hold the water or carry it away. They have love ly flowers like we do. We left Charleston Monday morning byway of Lumberton and Fayetteville. We arrived in Ral eigh; about the time the cloud came up so I spent the night. We had a wonderful trip and enjoyed it very much. It seems to be a his torical place, a very old town in deed. VBS Plans Parade Friday Afternoon The annual Vacation Bible School at the Zebulon Baptist Church will begin Monday, June 7, and will continue through June 18.

Poppy Sale Here Is Real Success The annual poppy sale, conduct ed by the Zebulon American Le gion Auxiliary each year to raise money for rehabilitation and child welfare work for veretans and their families, proved a real suc cess, according to Mrs. Dabney Gill, chairman of the sale. Members of the auxiliary, Zebu lon Girl Scouts, and other volun teers cooperated in selling the pop pies in Pilot, Middlesex, Wendell, Mitchell’s Mill, and Zebulon. Group reports included $21.68 from Pilot; $17.05 from Middle sex; $14.20 from the Girl Scouts; and $35.17 from the group which worked in Wendell and Zebulon.
