Letter From Our Congressman
Washington, D. C.,
November 29, 1941.
My dear Constituents:
Ldst week I told you of the
situation then relative to legisla
tion affecting strikes in defense
industries, and told you how a
group of Southern Members, led
by Judge Smith, of Virginia, Mr.
Vinson, of Georgia, and others,
have insisted for legislation to
curb these strikes, but we had not
been able to muster enough
strength to pass any bill or
amendment. , . 6
many members of Congress were
willing to give the President’s plan
f COr C atl r thCS ?, !ab ° r diS -
ut p S such* a tr 3 t" H r° U d SUP ~
^ norf jT I i fr U "“ the
President signified his inability • to
handle the subject. I told ytiu
that sentiment had been growing
for anti-strike legislation daily
and that I hoped we would soon
have enough strength to do some
thing. It seems that we have now
gained enough strength to act. Ed
itorials condemning these strikes
have been appearing in the news
papers of the whole country, tele
grams and letters asking for anti
strike legislation have poured in
to the offices of the members, and
the President also has been arous
ed. This week he called a dozen
of the leaders in the House and
Senate into a conference to dis
cuss legislation, and of these 12
invited, three are from our own
State: Mr. Vinson, Chairman of
the Committee on Naval Affairs
and author of the bill on the sub
ject now before us; Mr. Cox, who
as ranking majority member of
the Rules Committee, will have
an important voice in deciding
what bill will be put on the cal
endar, and Mr. Ramspeck, Vice
Chairman of the Labor Commit
tee, that was working on a bill
then to present to the House. As
the result of that conference, the
House will take up anti-strike
legislation Monday and by the
time you read this letter will in
all probability have passed a bill.
The question is, of course, wheth
er it will be a measure with
enough “teeth” in it to be effec
tive.
All of this week has been de

the ridge between the Oconee and
the Appalachie Rivers.
Between 1737 and 1775^ accord
ing to S. C. history, the names
of Thomas and John Boone appear
on the first church records in the
territory that is now Williams
burg co., Kingstree court house,
not far from Florence.
In 1786, according to this S. C.
history, Bishop Francis Asbury
left Georgetown, S. C., (near
Charleston), on his way to Wil
mington, N. C., crossed the San
tee river at Leonard’s Ferry and
while in that vicinity spent the
time with Thomas Boone.
In 1808, according to the Greene
co., Ga., marriage records, Mary
Boone married Joseph Williams.
In 1821, according to the Wil
kinson co., Ga., marriage records,
Joseph Boone married Miss Jane
L. Benning—by Wiley Shepherd,
J. P.
In 1835, Ratliff Boone (accord
ing to Ga. State records), was ap
pointed one of several fish com
missioners to remedy certain evils
in the Oconee river.
At an early period in S. C.,
there was a Mary Boone who mar
ried James McKinney and lived
in what is now Oconee co., S. C.
It is said she was related to the
original Daniel Boone of Ky.
Among the children of this cou
ple were Hester, who married
James Robertson, Elizabeth, who
married a Lay, Polly, who mar
ried an Ernest, Sally who mar
ried a McKinney, John, who mar
ried Elizabeth Robertson. Then
the following: Chas., James, Pres
ton, Jesse, and Wilson.
In 1752, according to old S. C.
records, Miss Rebecca Boone mar
ried John Lloyd, Esq., who was

It is said one Rebecca Boone
married Ewell McCoy and that
they lived in Morgan co., Ga.
From this record it is said Jesse
Boone was a Rev. Sold from Ga.
Also Sion Boone and his wife Gil
ly are mentioned.
Note—As there is much confu
sion and interchangeability of the
name Boon and Boone the reader
is referred back to the name Boon.
In 1817, according to the Mor
gan co., Ga., records, there was
an Elizabeth Boon (or Boone),
later, Nancy, Thomas, Sarah C.,
and Jacob Boone.
In 1825, according to the Ga.

Hatrack Sprouts
Cottonwood Buds
A hatrack or a cottonwood
tree?
When Mr. Monroe Hope, oi
Gainesville, started to hang his hat
m a bright new hatrack, made
for him by Leon Gaines, he was
astonished to see bright cotton
wood buds breaking out through
the varnish.
The finish began to crack short
ly after the stand was installed a
week ago, and now the buds are
almost an inch in length.
