FREE AT 81 Enjoys First Meii On 'Outside' DUG UP AGAIN In the Horry County Court House |at Conway 33 years ago the Jale Judge Mendel L. Smith, declared, after the fourth murder trial of Ed mund D. Bighara, "The Bigham case is ended." But, at the initiative of Senator Gasque, after four decades in prison, four years of which were spent in the death house, Bijjham has been removed to Florence for a hearing in the four other deaths of members of his family as a prelude to the granting of a pardon. The case, which started in Jan uary- 1921, when the bodies of Bigham's mother, brother, sister and the latter's two adopted sons were found at th« family home near Pamplico, Florence County. The state charged that Bigham had wiped out his fam ily in order to inherit the extensive BIGHAM TO GO HOME: South Carolina's most fam^d slayer, Edmund H.

Bigham, a doorkeeper at the State Peniten tiary, has been serving a life sentence since April. 1927. He was twice sentenced to the electric chair lor the slayIng, and his prosecutors said that if he ever came up for parole he would be prosecuted for four other slayings in his family. Bigham, through the years, although his memory has become somewhat clouded, has maintained his innocence. (Staff Photo) holdings. The case aroused more sensational interest than probably any in the state's history, and there was violent opinion on both side?. Bigham's chief defense was that the imprint of a bloody hand was that of a left hand and he had no left hand. He contended that Smiley Bigham, in whose hand a pistol was "loosely held," was the murderer. Whether any evidence was adduced to show whether S m i 1 e y * s left hand was bloody is not now apparent. The case also made history when, at the fourth trial, the first consent verdict in a murder case was per mitted, the accused being allowed to plead guilty on the agreement that he would be sentenced to life im prisonment. And now, long since considered buried and almost forgotten, the Bigham case has been dug up again.

However, state Probation Parole and Pardon Board Su pervisor Curtis Moor; said it would be gome time after formaJ application is made before the board could consider a par ole for the aged convict who dainu to be 90 although prion record* list him as 75. "We will have to Investigate the case thoroughly before it comes up," Moore said. He add ed it would be impossible to bring the case before the board at Thursday's regular meeting. The board had refused to con sider parole for Bigham until the four indictments were dis posed of. His attorneys moved for Monday's hearing be/ore Circuit Judge Thomas P. Bussey for the purpose of having the four indictments dismissed, but learned while researching the case that all four had been no] - proased in Horry County General Sessions Court at Conway April 1927. Bussey ruled there were no charges pending against Bigham who was ordered returned to the State Penitentiary at Col umbia while his lawyers pre pare a formal parole applica tion.

There is now a bond, the kind of relationship that develops and grows strong out of need over time. Even though there seemed to be no space at Mcleod that night, Mr. Hanna was token in and given oxygen in a room where there were two other patients. He doesn't recall the first few days, but Mrs. Hanna was thankful for that small room and the stroight·bock choir during the 1 0 days and nights of her bedside vigil.

"The nurses would tip in and tip out, JUSt to say 'Mr. Hanna , is there anything?' Just checking to see if everything is all right." In the middle of another night in April this year. Mr. Hanna become seriously ill with an emphysema·related infection. EMS brought him with his wife to the emergency roo m at Mcleod as Dr. William Hazelwood Instructed. Out it was to be awhile before he could get a room. So a nurse decided to pass the time by getting them breakfast. Mrs. Hanna ate as she watched the nurse help her husband with breakfast.

When completed the 220-acre course which includes a $50,000 club house, the course will have seven natural fed water holes which total 22 acres of wate'r, 33 sand traps, and a green which could require a 194-foot putt. The club house and golf course began with phase one of a two phase program in 1965 which was opened in June of 1966. Phase one consisted of nearly half of the club house being built and nine of the eighteen hole golf course constructed. Additional rooms and the construction of the last nine holes and the installation of an automatic watering system were to be completed in phase II. A goal for a country club was ;) set five years ago when a group of business men banded together to build a golf facility for the town of Johnsonville and surrounding communities. The goal projected was not to just obtain another golf course but to build one of the finest golf most comple te o n the final nine holes . Al le n Grier of Grie r courses in South Carolina and to compliment the course with modBr other s Construc tion Company holds the plans ·and looks on. ern club house. Grier Br othe r s Construction i s building the addition on the In keeping with their goal, the present Club House which will double the size of the present services of Ellls Maple, one of structure. (P hoto by Todd Scarborough) the best golf architects in the world, was employed to lay out the golf course. The club house and eighteen hole course were surveyed and drawn to scale on the Wellman farm, which Maples considered a natural location because of the rolling hills, available space, and a stream that ran through the property. Leaders of the group applied for and was granted a $120,000 loan from the Federal Government. Because of the large capital out:-lay the plan was divided into the two phases. The first phase to be completed in 1966 and the second phase to be completed at a later time. ....... P HASE II UNDEH CO!'\STHL.CTIO:\ - - Phase II ofti- -Johns onville Country Club is now under construction. \ hen the 1/2 million dollar Country Club is completed it wi ll )e equa l to the best in South Carolina . The course is expecte to offer a r eal c hallenge to a ll golfers . Leonard Drake, P ro at the Johnsonville Country Club, points to where construction is a l- Leonard Drake, a Johnsonville resident, who at the age of 14 was an assistant pro, was chosen to over-see construction and be the first Pro. Having experience in golf course construction Drake was able to create the course exactly as Maples had mapped the entire course. Almost half the club house and the first nine holes were opened for use on June 27, 1966. Mr. Wellman of the Wellman Industrial complex in Johnsonville, loaned an additional $55,000 to the project to further construction of the course and club house. Provisions in the Federal loan prohibited further expansion of the club house or additional work on the last nine holes until some time in the distant future. For a tim~ it appeared that construction of phase II would not be realized for many years. But when the task appeared impossible the Wellmans retired the Federal loan and provided additional money to complete phase II of the Johnsonville Country Club. A $90,000 automatic watering system will be installed before spring. The system, which is the most advanced in the golf world, will be operated by clocks that are pre set. Again when the clocks reach a predetermined time they will stop the water flow and pressure will drop causing the sprinkler to settle flush with the ground. The system will be completely automatic but it will llave manual over rides to stop or start the water when it is desired. One of the advantages of the system according to Drake is that water pipes will not have to be set up each time ''. . • we want to water the C'ourse" . He indicates this would reduce possible dam· age to the gn.·ens which occur on some courses using the manual s ystem for watering. "Also," lie continued, "we can keep the gr~1ss in better condition by applying an adequate amount of water," on the grass at all times providing a constant growth of grass and reducing the possibility of brown spots from dying grass. The 5,800 square foot Club House will have a 1,600 square foot ball room when phase two is completed. The ballroom will feature a changeable floor surface. A rem:>vable carpet will be in place for most occasions, but it can be rolled up and removed in less than an hour for occasions requiring hardwood floors. Adjacent to the ballroom, but elevated above the ballroom floor, a lounge will be built. Persons in the lounge will have a view over the ballroom. The Club House is to have a 12 foot patio extending toward the golf course. Tables and chairs will be placed on the patio which will be covered by the Club House roof. A kitchen will be built in the new portion and will be supplied with the latest in kitchen equipment. These facilities will be added to the already plush Pro shop, Bar and locker rooms. Turning toward the course Drake said, "We may soon have the longest number 2 hole in the world." Beaver Lake, North Carolina ·now has the longest number 2 hole, which is 636 yards. The number 2 hole at Johnsonville is 600 yards and consideration is being given to the idea of increasing it to 652 yards: If this is done the number 2 hole at the Johnsonville Country Club will be . the longest in the world. Hole number 13 is comparable to the number 13 hole inSouthern Pines which is recognized as the best on any course. Maples designed the number 13 hole in Southern Pines. Walking back to the Club House Drake commented, "When we finish we will have a course which is equal to or superior to any course in South Carol ina." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Even though there seemed to be no space at Mcleod that night, Mr. Hanna was token in and given oxygen in a room where there were two other patients. He doesn't recall the first few days, but Mrs. Hanna was thankful for that small room and the stroight·bock choir during the 1 0 days and nights of her bedside vigil. He needed to be in the ir.tPnsive co re unit but all • of those beds w ere fille d. They placed him close to the ICU and cared for him as if he were there o' a round it for 4 7 y ears . They hov e no children. "Sometimes it happens tha t w ay." How good it would be to hove more peo ple lil~e each of the m . tv~r. Hanna's fri ends soy that he has never bee n and will never be so fo r a w ay from Johnsonville tha t he can't m a ke the 'round trip b ock home between sunrise and sundown . All these years they worked together on the form ; hoeing the corn , the sugar cone. the tobacco . It was another e ra , bod~ when they " plan ted nothing (s~e Generations, page 8) 0 Lillian and James Hanna : 'We 're w1th Mcleod 100 perce nt " . • Mr. Hanna remembers the attention. the gentle core . the medication without fail. The respiratory therapy treatments every four hours by those "btg. husky boys" helped cause the steady improvement. More than that, at the end of each treatment they added o special arm and neck massage that helped him relax into sleep. "The nurses would tip in and tip out, JUSt to say 'Mr. Hanna , is there anything?' Just checking to see if everything is all right." In the middle of another night in April this year. Mr. Hanna become seriously ill with an emphysema·related infection. EMS brought him with his wife to the emergency roo m at Mcleod as Dr. William Hazelwood Instructed. Out it was to be awhile before he could get a room. So a nurse decided to pass the time by getting them breakfast. Mrs. Hanna ate as she watched the nurse help her husband with breakfast. "She even put the jelly on his toast." · The doctor said he wanted them to be set up "as near lil-~e home as possible ." This was the hew Mcleod. The attention was just the same as before , the newness only made it better. For the Hannes. the story at Mcleod began in 1906 when in uncle, Mr. G.M. Hanna. was hospitalized. He was the first patient Dr. Fronk Mcleod operated on for appendicitis. The two remained fond acquaintances for life. Mr. G.M. Hanna's wife, Aunt Annie Hanna, was a patient there in later years. Their grandson . Robert T. Haselden. was two months old in July 1953. when he was admitted to Mcleod with on intestinal obstruction. Doctors Ellis and Mead told the parents he could not five as he was. that " this is a first. but will you let us try?" He is now a fine young man with a family of his own. Another uncle. Floyd M. Hanna, was taken to Mcleod for appendicitis in 1912. He was carried by buggy to Lake City, then on to Florence by train. Mr. Hanna knew that Mcleod . ac the turn of the century was the only hospital in the area . Horse and buggy or train was the only tronsporta tion. Thomas F. Hanna. James Hanna's father, was treated for cancer at Mcleod during the lost years of his life. The family saw the some treatment then. in 1938, as in their recent visits. Mr. Hanna's sister, Lucille H. Eaddy, was in Mcleod in the early 70s with uremic poisoning. Although she was not expected to live, the nursing staff understood the feelings of the family and "never hindered our . . ', VISitS. There ore other little stories of the Hanna family and Mcleod. Over three-quarters of a century holds many memories. "Mostly through these years it's the good feelings that remain." The ·round trip to Mcleod and bock home to Johnsonville con still be made between sunrise and sundown. • '. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Johnsonville Looked Good To a Boy From Possum Fork Description An account of the resource JOHNSONVILLE LOOKED GOOD TO A BOY FROM "POSSUM FORK" JOHNSONVILLE - Half way between Florence and Georgetown - which is to say that particularly favored location location wherein the Low Country comes rushing up to greet the Pee Dee area - is a town called Johnsonville. Two things alone hold together the community - the Wellman Combing Co., with more than five-hundred employees, and an indomitable will on the part of its one-thousand citizens. AS towns go, Johnsonville is not old; but it is old enough to have firmly established itself in the affections of those whom therein dwell. One such man is D.B. Haselden. Since the last-named merchant has been a resident without interruption of the town for the past 33 years: and since Haselden was born within 2 and one half miles of his present residence, the stor of D.B. Haselden is the story of Johnsonville. Here it is in Merchant Haselden's own words: "When I came to live in Johnsonville there were no paved roads in or out. To a boy from Possum Fork, however, it looked real good. Anyway, I opened a small grocery business here on Oct. 5, 1926. My business kept up with the town - neither grew one iota. In 1927 a lumber outfit moved in unasked but very welcome. The Bennet-Walker Lumber Co., was composed of a planing mill and 5 or 6 sawmills, and remained in business here until the death of John Walker - about 1942. Walker's son still lives here. Much later the Combing Company moved in, and saved what was left of Johnsonville." What was left? "Yes. In Jan. 1931, in the dead of night a fire broke out. By dawn the Main street looked like Flanders Field after a heavy rain. Only two shops were left standing; a drug store and - you guessed it - the D.B. Haselden Grocery. The heck of it was that folks seemed to be in no hurry about rebuilding. I used to feel like a shopkeeper in the destroyed city of Pompei, I tell you. It looked like that fire was to prove a fatal blow to our town. Do you know, it was not until about 1944 that they started rebuilding from the ashes? Thirteen long years I kept shop on a street all but obliterate. Why it must have been all of twelve months after the fire before the charred smell left Broadway. That's the name of the main stem, you know..." The long and lean Mr. Haselden suddenly leaned back and roared with laughter. "Pardon me," he said finally. "I was remembering a song which was popular along about those same disheartening days. It went: 'Bright lights on Broadway, sunshine down in Dixie,' et cetera et cetera. We had the sunshine alright but not much illumination on our Broadway. "I believe I mentioned Possum Fork a little earlier? Well that's where I was born. If Johnsonville was a bit on the isolated side brother, you should have know the Fork back when I was a boy. It was almost literally out of this world. I recall a school teacher who came to teach out there - they put him up in a deserted house back in a thicket. He wanted. The told him without cracked to know if the place was haunting a smile, that the 'houses were all too small, at Possum Fork, to hold a ghost.' I reckon though, that ma didn't believe them. He didn't stay long. "The Fork is still there - only a little better than two miles from Johnsonville. Some folks will say I have no shame - disclosing conditions as they were back fifty years ago. But I am downright proud of being from Possum Fork. If this story reaches the paper, I'll bet there will be hundreds of people who will know that I am telling the truth. "I didn't see a train until I was 12 years old. The nearest railroad was at Lake City. I never visited either Florence or Georgetown until I was a married man of 23." Haselden's eyes took on a far away look. "I can recall going to Allison's Landing - that's on the Pee Dee - with my father, after we'd heard the boat whistling. Dad used to buy his staples at Georgetown - flour, rice, coffee and sugar, and have them brought up the river. It was about six miles to the Landing, we'd travel by mule and cart. When I was a boy, I thought of Georgetown as the beginning and the end of civilization. My father used to float logs and cross ties to Georgetown, you see. He'd be gone on those trips from five to ten days. Have to walk back, you know. Anyway, upon his return he would tell we children of the wonders of Georgetown; of its bulging shops, its find houses, etc. "Sometime during the early 1920s, a momentous thing took place. By popular vote Johnsonville was separated from Williamsburg County, to become part of Florence County. I suspect that Florence - the county, that is - wasn't really overcome with joy by our addition; but the people had spoken. The town itself is not old. Originally the land upon which it was built was part and parcel of the S.B. Poston farm. I can recall when the main street was sold off in lots. "I operate the smallest grocery store in Johnsonville, but it's been a living. With the help of my wife - I married Emily Powell of Possum Fork, Dec. 1917 - I've been able to raise and educate five children: there's V.C. - he's practicing law down in Georgetown - Hubert L., who has some 18 years of Navy service behind him, Wilma Ruth, who serves as secretary in the Charlotte office of the FBI, Ken, now rounding out ten years wi the U.S. Air Force, and Reid Nettles, teaching at Johnsonville High. World War II, says the Johnsonville merchant, wade for very slight change in the town's leisured pace. "There were no bases or defense plants nearby," he says, "and about the only real difference was in the absence of young people - the boys off to war, their wives (if married), following them to camps and places and cities here, there and everywhere located..." Haselden took a deep breath. "And now, I am going to stick my neck out, but good! I believe that Johnsonville is as big as ever it will get. That's my very own and personal conviction, of course. I hope it proves to be in error - but I trust I will be pardoned and forgiven by my neighbors when I say I shall not lose any sleep if the town doesn't swell too rapidly. I like it the way it is." Mr. D.B. Haselden, now 62, can look back proudly and declare that he has spent his entire life within a couple of miles radius of Johnsonville. "It is fellows like myself," he says, "who account for the existence of small places like this one. On this score, may I had, I make no apologies."
