Poinsett State Park to open; sergeant goes on spending spree with stolen funds Posted: Sunday, March 27, 2011 6:00 am | Updated: 11:08 pm, Fri Mar 25, 2011. BY HUBERT OSTEEN - hubert@theitem.com 75 YEARS AGO - 1936 Week of July 29-Aug. 4 Poinsett State Park will officially open to the public on Wednesday, July 5, according to the S.C. State Commission of Forestry. The park is located about 15 miles west of Sumter and six miles south of Wedgefield on the Wedgefield-Pinewood Road. This is the second state park to be opened in the summer of 1936, the first being Myrtle Beach State Park on July 1. Although construction on the park by a CCC camp is still incomplete, the commission felt that the bathhouse, built with native coquina rock and almost complete, should be operated and made available for public use. Swimming will be allowed in the 18-acre lake, also constructed by CCC workers, on the site of the old Manning mill pond. Several miles of picturesque trails have been constructed throughout the rugged, heavily timbered land bordering Shanks Creek, which feeds the lake, and around the lake itself. One picnic area composed of a shelter with fireplaces, picnic tables and comfort stations is available for use. Lifeguards have been placed on duty for the protection of swimmers and bathers, plus bathhouse attendants for the convenience and comfort of those using the dressing rooms. A nominal charge of 15 cents for adults and 10 cents for children will be the fee for use of the bathhouse and dressing rooms. Clothing and valuables will be checked and a towel and soap will be furnished. A concession stand with refreshments will be maintained on the grounds offering soft drinks, ice cream, candy and cigarettes on sale at standard prices. Several vacation cabins are under construction in the 1,000-acre park and are expected to be ready for rental before the end of the summer. The story added: "With the formal opening of the park to the public under the supervision of a trained staff, the number of visitors, already large, should greatly increase and Sumter people will begin to appreciate what a valuable asset the county authorities acquired by an investment of only $5,000 for the purchase of the land." Poinsett State Park is one of 12 state parks under construction at present by the state Commission of Forestry with the assistance of the National Park Service and the Federal Forest Service.

The purpose of the resettlements is to take farmers off sub-marginal unprofitable lands and move them to one of the rural resettlement colonies, setting up a corps of men to reclaim the land from which they have moved.

Arthur Romeo Morrissette, chief of the base commissary, was sentenced to four years in federal prison and fined $100 by District Judge George Bell Timmerman after he stuffed $14,433 in grocery bags with food packages piled on top of them, left the base and began a spending spree of the loot that began in Sumter on May 6, moved to Columbia, Augusta, Ga., and Atlanta and wound up in Fort Worth, Texas, where he turned himself in to authorities at Carswell Air Force Base on May 11. According to prosecutors, Morrissette kicked off the spree with a lavish party at the Sumter home of a commissary employee, traveled to Columbia and took a bus to Augusta, then hitchhiked to Atlanta where he met some people and threw another party in a motel. It was in Atlanta that a woman fleeced Morrissette out of the key to his bus station locker, and with another woman and her boyfriend picked up the airman's package of money. With the money gone, Morrissette made his way to the home of a sister-in-law near Fort Worth and surrendered at Carswell. The story described Morrissette as a "big time spender for a few days" who pleaded guilty before Judge Timmerman, "and when the sentence was passed, his wife, a well-groomed grandmother of 49, wept audibly and had to be helped from the courtroom." Prosecutor William Horger said the government was instigating civil action to recover as much of the money as possible from Morrissette's "friends" who spent some of it on a new car, various luxury items and opened bank accounts with the remainder. 12-year-old killed on highway - Robert Lee Davis, 12, was run over and killed on Highway 401 about 1.1 miles north of Sumter while walking home from a movie with his brother, B.Z., 19.

The truck was driven by Bobby James Rish, 22, of Douglas, Ga., who told State Highway Patrolman Jerry Peebles, who investigated, that he saw the two youths lying on the right hand side of Highway 401 while he was headed north and swerved into the left lane, running off the side of the road to avoid hitting the boys. Rish then drove another hundred feet from the scene before stopping to determine whether he had struck one of the boys. Peebles, who was just getting off duty and headed home, arrived at the scene just as a driver who was behind Rish's truck was preparing to go for help. Peebles said the older brother was "hysterical" from the shock of seeing his brother's mangled body on the side of the road. Coroner Guignard DuBose who assisted in the investigation along with Sheriff I. Byrd Parnell, said an inquest into the boy's death would be held. In addition to his brother, Robert Lee Davis is survived by his parents and a sister.
