Posted in Obituaries on Friday, April 8, 2011 Field trials draw big field; accused killer gets married BY HUBERT OSTEEN hubert@theitem.com 75 YEARS AGO - 1936 Week of Dec.30-Jan. 5, 1937 The second annual Gamecock Field Trials got under way Monday, Jan. 4, on the Cane Savannah plantation, six miles west of Sumter on the Wedgefield road, with 91 entries from nine states participating. E.T. Gulledge was in charge of the horses and mules, stating that he had plenty of mounts and saddles for spectators, who were urged to make reservations if they wanted to follow the runs on horseback. A barbecue dinner was served on the grounds during opening day, prepared by Yank Blanding. Drawings for the braces were held the evening before at the Claremont Hotel. Birds were plentiful among the 5,000 acres at Cane Savannah used by the sponsoring Gamecock Field Trial Association. The opening day winner of the first event, the Amateur All Age Stake, was Rio Rita, a pointer bitch owned by W.P. Few of Roanoke, Va., while a local entry, Emogean Circus Girl, owned by H.C. McLaurin Jr. of Wedgefield, finished second. The feature event of the three-day trials, held on the final day, was the Open All-Age Stake, won by Air Circus, a speedy pointer owned by Miss Claudia Phelps of Aiken and handled by C.L. Pritchett of St. Matthews. Another good showing by a Sumterite was turned in by Sioux Bacon Shoals Jake, owned by W.R. Plowden and handled by Luther Smith of Sumter. The trials were completed with the running of the Open Derby and the Puppy Stakes. In spite of a steady drizzle of rain on the final, coveys were plentiful, exceeding 20, according to local field trialers. Bradley leads in citizenship program - Billy Bradley is leading the race for the honor of being Sumter's boy mayor during Boys Week next May in the YMCA-sponsored Better Citizenship Program through the cooperation of the churches and city schools. Three groups of boys compete in the program from the youngest to the oldest, called the Comrades, whose point leader by the May deadline will become boy mayor. Bradley is closely followed in points by James Brogdon, Billy Rogers, Gamewell Lemmon and Edgar Klarpp. Kirven to attend FBI school - Police Sgt. W.C. Kirven was selected by Sumter City Council to attend a training school conducted by Federal Bureau of Investigation Director J. Edgar Hoover in Washington beginning Jan. 11. The school will provide intensive training in all phases of crime situations and "is very valuable both from the standpoint of the officer attending and for the city," according to the story. Kirven established himself as one of Sumter's finest lawmen when he thwarted an attempted holdup by two gunmen at the Claremont Hotel in 1934. In the ensuing shootout in the lobby of the hotel, Kirven killed one of the holdup men and wounded the other, who managed to escape and was eventually captured and returned to Sumter to stand trial, convicted and given a lengthy prison sentence. Sumter opens roundball season with win - The Sumter High School basketball team opened its season at the new YMCA gymnasium with a hard-fought victory over a stubborn University High of Columbia quintet, 32-27, behind all-state forward and captain Ed Cuttino's 15 points, followed by center Leon Blanding's eight points. The first game also marked the debut of the team's flashy new uniforms. The warmup suit was described as purple jockey trimmed in red and white, while the playing uniform was silver satin and purple, trimmed in white and red. "The boys will make a great appearance, both in their uniforms and their play, as every man has had several years of experience either on the high school team or the Junior Dragons," the story pointed out. However, in spite of the win, the story went on to state that the team "as a whole played raggedly at times, plainly showing the lack of practice." From the "In And Around The Town" column - "It is hoped the din of exploding fireworks has subsided until next Christmas, at least, if not permanently. The sale and discharge of fireworks within the city limits should be banned by ordinance before the next holiday season. ... The worst of the depression has receded, but no one wants an increase of taxes to finance additional spending. Until the highway bonds have been paid off, Sumter County has all the tax burdens that can be carried. The tax levy for interest and sinking fund for highway bonds and the tax levy for support of public schools constitute the major tax load the property owners of Sumter County are carrying - and it is quite a load. Progressives, who pay no taxes, may clamor for greatly enlarged and costly public activities, but those who bear the burden and pay the bills are more conservative and circumspect. "Legislators and lobbyists are packing their old kit bags for the annual engagement on the Columbia battle front. Zero hour is Tuesday, the 12th. ... County Auditor John Duffie calls attention to the fact that the time for making returns of property for taxation is at hand. You may as well do it and get it over with for this year." Advertisements: Knight's Book Store at 107 N. Main St. promoted a variety of home and office supplies for "first of the year needs" as the new year approached, such as steel filed, journals, ledgers, expense books, diaries, appointment books, family expense books, etc. ... Cantey-Plowden Co. at its cash and carry store, 39 S. Main St., offered Friday and Saturday savings on grocery items, such as Pocahontas lye hominy, 10 cents a can; smoked bacon rinds for 8 cents a pound; pure cane syrup for 60 cents a gallon; and Hershey's Cocoa, 10 cents for a half-pound can. Playing at the theaters: "Pennies From Heaven" was shown at the Sumter starring Bing Crosby and Madge Evans, followed during the week by "Come and Get It" starring Edward Arnold, Frances Farmer and Joel McCrea, "Tarzan Escapes" starring Johnny Weismuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, "King of Hockey" starring Wayne Morris and Marie Wilson, and beginning Monday, "Camille," starring Greta Garbo and Robert Taylor. The Rex showed two features during the week as renovations continued: "Ambassador Bill" starring Will Rogers and a shoot 'em up, "The Traitor," starring Tim McCoy. 50 YEARS AGO - 1961 Week of Oct. 30-Nov. 5 Accused murderer Kenneth Waddell, a Shaw Air Force Base airman, was released from the county jail on the weekend long enough to marry Mary P. Hinson, 18, daughter of William Albert Hinson, according to the sheriff's office. Waddell, 20, is facing trial for the murder of James Edward "Mosey" Fleming, a service station attendant, who was shot to death and robbed on June 16. Sheriff Byrd Parnell said Waddell confessed to the shotgun slaying a few days after Fleming was killed. According to the story, Waddell and Miss Hinson had made plans for marriage before Fleming was killed. Parnell said the marriage was performed by Clerk of Court Ray Blanding. Sumterite killed, wife critical - Empie Miller, 28, a deacon and Sunday School teacher at First Baptist Church in Sumter, was killed while he and his wife, Fannie, were returning to Sumter after visiting relatives near Mullins when a truck carrying two men failed to stop for a stop sign and struck the Miller car on the driver's side, apparently killing him instantly. The men weren't identified in the story. Mrs. Miller was in critical condition at a Mullins hospital. Mr. Miller was employed by Sumter FCX and was a Korean War veteran. The couple had no children. He is survived by his parents in North Carolina, four brothers and four sisters. Mrs. Miller is a fifth grade teacher at Shaw Heights Elementary School. Reunion of former Shrine Bowlers planned - Former Shrine Bowl players from Sumter will be among other players from North and South Carolina who have participated in the annual game held in Charlotte every December to benefit the crippled children's hospital at Greenville; all have been invited to a reunion celebration on the morning of the game. Sumter is second in the state to Charleston for having sent the most players to the Shrine Bowl with 25. They are: John N. Cain, Robert Epps, Pitts DeLorme, Will Muldrow, Jack Bradford, Billy Trembley, Ed Dew, Lynwood Vaughn, Tommy Hughes, Ed Martin, Bill Bradford, Theron Cook, Jack Brunson, Roy Skinner, Jack Chandler, Joe Kirven, Robert Brunson, Frank Strange, Whitney Bradham, Horace Boykin, Ladson Cubbage, Richard Bradham, Charles Tucker, Wyman Taylor and Rudolph Singleton. East Clarendon knocks off Furman again - East Clarendon's Wolverines upset Furman for the second week in a row in a playoff game held at Fairgrounds Stadium, 26-14. The playoff was needed to decide the Conference 5B championship as both teams wound up the regular season tied after EC's 14-7 win over Furman last week. Furman got off to a roaring start when star quarterback Danny Reynolds broke loose on a brilliant 81-yard run to begin the scoring in the second quarter, while Ingram Haley booted the extra point. Haley added Furman's final score in the second quarter on a one-yard plunge. East Clarendon took over the game after that behind the passing of quarterback Winky Hardy, beginning with a 70-yard pass play to end Curtis Watts to begin its scoring, another TD toss to Watts, a short plunge by Lonnie Welch for a score and the final six-pointer coming on a keeper by Hardy. Eugene Hall's boys will now face Conference 6B champion Williamsburg in the first round of playoffs. Sumter whips B-C - In another big game, Sumter High took the measure of the Brookland-Cayce Bearcats 12-6 behind the nifty running of J.B. Bradley, who played his last game for the Gamecocks as he turns 20 years of age on Monday and will no longer be eligible for high school sports. Bradley scored the first touchdown of the evening for the home team on a four-yard scamper in the second quarter while Robert Bradley hauled in a 25-yard toss from quarterback Johnny Thorne to complete the Gamecock scoring. A tough Sumter defense led by Pat Devaney and Wayne Mitchum kept B-C in check all evening in the game that was highlighted by two goal line stands. The Gamecocks' record now stands at 5-4 with Batesburg-Leesville hosting them next week followed by the annual rivalry game with Florence to close out the season. Advertisements: The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan in Florence County announced "A Klan speaking" would be held 55 miles north of Olanta on U.S. Highway 301 at Lynches River at 8 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 4. The ad stated: "Come hear the truth. ... The White Public is invited. Authorized by the Imperial Wizard." B&H Bus Lines announced it had received permission from Sumter City Council to add an extra 5 cents charge on each transfer while also offering savings cards, such as a white card good for 22 trips at a cost of $2.75, a savings of 55 cents. The announcement was made by the bus line's operators, M.O. Baker and S.A.
