Former Slave

Is Still Active


At Age of 104


Says World Would Be Better
Today If People Would
Quit 'Fussing'

By HAROLD BELL
Gulf county's oldest resident and
one of the oldest in the state, Aunt
Laura Wiggins, colored, and fairly
active at the age of 104, is a most
interesting character in many ways.
She returned only Sunday of last
week from a visit to her son in Day-
tona Beach, and despite her age
made the, trip alone. She makes
several trips each year and intends
to continue them until her "Master
calls me home."
In observance of her 104th birth-
day on last December 9, a party was
given by her friends in Daytona
Beach where she was then visiting.
A large picture of her was carried
on the front page of the afternoon
newspaper there, and this was one
of her rare thrills to see "the pic-
ture of a plain old slave woman."
After a conversation with this
lively character, one wonders how
things got into the condition they
are today. Aunt Laura is of the
opinion that "people wrangle and
fuss too much today, instead of lov-
ing and helping each other like
they used to do." She, remembers
vividly the. : ir,.in, 'ii, an~cd(in-
Sditions of her immediate vicinity
when news was brought to their
plantation community that "t h e
war" had come.
Aunt Laura was born in 1846,
which made her a slave "house
girl" about 14 years old when the
Civil War broke out. She was a
member of the plantation group
owned by "Master Lucius Allen and
his mistress, Lizzie." The location

Play At Wewahitchka Next Sun-
day, In Apalachicola July 4, and
At Blountstown Wednesday

.The St. Joe Saints continued to
hold top position in the Gulf Coast
League by defeating the Panama
City Seahawks 9-1 Wednesday eve-
ning behind the hurling of Howie
Calhaun, who had a shutout up un-
til the ninth inning.
Belin started the scoring in the
third by banging out a triple with
two on. Other outstanding Saint
stickmen were two newcomers,
Breezy Gresham, who held down
the keystone bag and got a single
and two triples, and Moss Cowart,
third baseman, who also chalked up
a triple.
As far as we can learn, Blounts-
town defeated the Wewa 'Gators
Wednesday, and .the Apalachicola
: Oyestermen took the Tallahassee
Capitols down the line.
Port St. Joe will play at Wewa-
hitchka Sunday and will go to Ap-

Wednesday Afternoon Be-
ginning July 5

All business establishments of the
city will be closed all day next Tues-
day in observance of the Fourth of
July, this being one of the holiday
closing dates established by the Re-
tail Merchants Association. Your
Star office will also close on that
day.
Practically all business establi-
inents have been observing Wed-
nesday afternoon closing for sev-
eral years, with the exception of
the garages and drug stores, but
now the former have drawn up an
agreement whereby all the automo-
tive dealers will join in the Wed-
nesday half holiday. An announce-
ment to this effect will be found
on page five of this issue of The
Star.

Postmaster Will


Ask Survey for


City Mail Service


Would Take In Greater St.
Joe Area With Estimated
Population of 4,750

Postmaster H. A. Drake stated
yesterday that he .will request the
postoffice department to make a
survey of the area served by the
Port St. Joe postoffice to determine
Iihe feasibility of _tabli-hing city
jiier. mail .er,
He pointed out that a tabulation
of the recent 1950 census returns
indicates 2,747 persons as residents
within the corporate limits of Port
St Joe-the boundaries of which
have not been extended since the
city was chartered in 1913-and
that an additional estimated 2,000
persons reside at Oak Grove, High-
land View and Kenney's Mill. These
communities are all located at the
rim of the city limits, thus giving
Greater Port St. Joe an approxi-
mate population of 4,750.
It is the belief of Postmaster
Drake that a delivery service would
benefit these communities and also
afford an improved service to city
residents. Two previous efforts to
secure city delivery were made in
1941 and 1947, but on account of
the widely scattered areas of de-
velopment and lack of street im-
provements, the department de-
clined to authorize the service.
Within the past two years, how-
ever, more than $100,000 has been
spent for street improvements in
the city, and considerable road and
street work has also been done in
the adjacent communities.

School Board Meeting Postpoped
Supt. Tom Owens states that the
regular meeting of the Gulf county
school board scheduled for July 4
has been postponed to Friday, July
7, at the office of the superinten-
dent in the court house at Wewa-
hitchka.

Hot Spell Puts Strain

On New Water Well

Necessary At Times To Pump From
Old Well; Second Well Will
Be Cut In Shortly

Despite the fact that the city's
new water well has been pumping
into the mains for some time, peo-
ple have been complaining lately
that at times the water seemed to
be just as "red" as it was when the
supply came from the old well.
It was-but they were the ones
who were causing it. The long hot,
dry spell we've been having, which
was broken by a welcome downpour
Wednesday afternoon, caused resi-
dents to turn on their lawn sprink-
lers, generally in the late after-
noon, and in the evening practic-
ally everyone was taking a bath or
shower. Consequently a rather se-
vere strain was placed on the new
well between 5 and 10 p. m., and at
Limes it was necessary to pump
from the old well, thus diluting the
clear water from the new well with
the "red" water.
However, this will be remedied
shortly, according to Mayor Jake
Belin, who informs us that the sec-
ond new well being put down by
the Gray Artesian Well Company
should be completed within the next
week or so and then, when it is
necessary to augment the regular
supply of water, the second well
can be cut in.


Contractors Move In To

Start Monument Paving

Widening and Repaving of Avenue
At Cost of $86,000 Will
Start Immediately

The contracting firm of Coggins
& Deermont, of Chipley, who were
awarded the contract of widening
and repaving Monument Avenue
from First Street to Ninth Street
at a cost of $86,000, have been
bringing in equipment and men the
past two days in preparation to
starting work on the project.
The job calls for a 60-foot pave-
ment, a six-foot sidewalk on each
side and storm sewers. In addition,
provision will be made for water
and sewer mains.
This is the first step in widening
Monument Avenue its entire length
-the second step being similar
widening of the avenue from Ninth
Street to the eastern city limits
and from First Street to the west-
ern city limits at an estimated cost
of $100,000.
An effort is being made by city
officials to have the contracting
firm use as much local labor as
possible in the work.

twined with golden dawn roses on
a background of palms and mag-
nolias, to receive their guests.
The guests were ushered into the
living room where the golden wed-
ding motif was carried out in de-
tail. The mantle was centered with
gold marigolds and banked with
lace fern. Two lighted golden
candles were on either side of the
centerpiece and the soft lights were
reflected by the antique gold leaf
mirror.
The guests signed in a book with
the names "Eda Max" and dates
"1900 -1950" in gold lettering and
tied with golden cord.
The punch table, in the music
room, was covered with a Batten-
berg cloth used over 50 years ago
on the bride's table o ofone of Mrs.
Kilbourn's girlhood friends, the late
Etta Cumbleworth Messina, and
the fruit punch with floating gold
sherbet was served by the grand-
daughter of Mrs. Messina, Miss
Memorie Louise Porter, from an an-
tique punch bowl encircle with mag-
nolia leaves and marigolds. ,
The cake table was covered with
an Italian cutwork cloth overlaid
with loops of gold satin ribbon. An
arrangement of golden calla lilies
in a gold-rimmed crystal bowl cen-
tered the table. Gold-rimmed crystal
candelaba holding burning golden
tapers were at either side of the
centerpiece. The cake was em-
bossed with golden roses and en-
circled with sprays of maidenhair
fern. Mrs. Charles Smith, oldest
granddaughter of the honored
couple, cut the cake, arid Mrs.
James K;lb.:.Lr' a -j.t -l 11 erviin

by Mrs. Robert Tapper.
Mrs. Roy Gibson, accompanied by
Mrs. Mark Tomlinson at the piano,
sang Mr. Kilbourn's favorite song,
"Where the River Shannon Flows,"
then Mrs. Kilbourn softly rendered
on the piano "When You and I
Were Young, Maggie."
The golden wedding couple and
their friends then went into the
yard, where golden punch was
served by Misses Ida Ethel and Eda
Ruth Kilbourn from ice punch
bowls into which were frozen bou-
quets of marigolds tied with white
illusion and gold satil-.ribbon. The
Misses Elizabeth Ann Brown and
Eva Margaret Kilbourn assisted in
the serving.
Mrs. Kilbourn, nee Eda Pickett,
was born in Apalachicola in 1876.
She attended Union Female College
at Eufaula, Ala., and graduated
from Southern Female University,
Birmingham, Ala. She took a-grad-
uate course in piano at Thornberry
Institute of Music in Atlanta, Ga.,
and her composition, "Ripples of
Carrabelle," inspired by the moon-
light reflected on the Carrabelle
River, has become locally famous,
as has "Echoes of Saint Joe," which
she played during the celebration
of the 'birth of Gulf county in 1925.
Mr. Kilbourn was born in Oxford,
Mich., in 1873, coming to Apalachi-
cola while a young man. He at-
tended the University of the South
at Suwanee, Tenn., and was a mem-
ber of the Pi Kappa Phi fraterniay.
Later he graduated' from the Geor-
gia Normal College and Business
Institute at Abbeville, Ga. Mr. Kil-
bourn, who is a veteran of the Span-
ish-American War, went into the
wholesale fish and ice business in
Carrabelle in 1899.
Mr. and Mrs. Kilbourn were mar-
ried in Carrabelle in 1900, living
there until 1920,, when they moved
to Port St. Joe and have continued
to make this'city their home.
Approximately 300 friends called
to congratulate the golden wedding
couple, and many telegrams and
letters were received wishing, them
many more happy anniversaries.

Our Country Right or Wrong


J QUACK MEDICINE
The New York World-Telegram and Sun re-
cently ran an editorial on your friend (he ain't
ours) President Truman's suggestion to congress
that small business is in need of help. Truman
said that this situation was the result of a serious
lack of adequate venture capital for small busi-
ness, and proposed that the government come to
the rescue with a five-point program including
insurance of small-business bank loans, broader
lending powers for the RFC, government pro-
moted and chartered national investment com-
panies, and other pallatives.
The newspaper said: "Mr Truman's message,
however, does not go into the reasons why the
'traditional sources' of venture capital for small
business have dried up. The chief of those rea-
sons is excessive government taxes, collected by
a system which gives people who might invest in
small business enterprises compelling reason to
fear that the possible gain is not worth the risk
of loss.
"More useful than any of their president s five
points, or all: 4 them. would be determined ac-
tion to cut down government waste anid extrava-,
gance, stop squandering so much of the people's
money, reform the tax system and take less capi-
tal away from.private enterprise, small and large,
through taxation and borrowing.",
Venture capital is just what the name implies.
It is the money that goes into new businesses,
most of which begin in a small way. The investor
knows he is taking a risk of losing all or most of
it. Therefore he naturally wants the possibility of
earning a good return if the enterprise is a suc-
cess. When excessive taxation destroys that possi-
bility, capital dries up.
This is a much more serious matter for the new
than for the old business. The latter is estab-
lished; it has its markets; it has capital and credit.
So big, all-inclusive government-which grew
that way in the name of the "little man" and the
"little enterprise"-actually harms those it is sup-
posed to help.

remainder of the term, arid is more than likely to
be inattentive.
There is some point to the 'lame duck" status
of a defeated member of congress, but there
seem to be many reasons'for holding the primary
elections early in the year, rather than later, that
counterbalance the "points" brought out by Rep-
resentative Sikes..
First, as soon as January rolls around in a cam-
paign year, everybody becomes political minded.
They. stay that way until the primary elections
are over, which is disturbing to business and to
other activities. If the elections were- put-over'"
until July, say, we would have just that many
more days of politics. And, it should be remem-
berd, there are only a few candidates coming
out for congress, where there are hundreds of
other candidates, for county and state offices,
who do not come under the "objections" set up
by Representative Sikes.
Another consideration, and an important one,
is that if the elections were set up to the middle
of the summer, after the schools close, hundreds
of people would' be away on vacation, and would
neither have the opportunity to hear the candi-
dates speak their pieces nor, in all probability-,
take the time and trouble to come home to vote.
Let's let the primary dates stay as they are un-
less there seems to be some compelling reason
why they should be changed.-Ocala Star-Banner

Most folks have presence of mind-the trouble
is absence of thought. "

TEN YEARS AGO
From the Files of The Star

Census Figures Show Large Gain
Preliminary figures on the 1940
census for Port St. Joe and Gulf
county have just been released and
show a growth in population of
more than 100 per cent, mainly in
St. Joe. The 1930 census gave Gulf
county a population of 3,182, while
-the census just completed gives a
total of 6,926, a gain of 3,744, or ap-
proximately 115 per cent. The city
of Port St. Joe had a total of 851
persons recorded in the 1930 cep-
sus, while the 1940 figures show
2,372. Wewahitchka also almost
doubled in population during the 10-
year period, the figures for 1930 be-
ing 584 and the 1940 count showing
1,012.

GARDEN NOTES
PORT ST. JOE GARDEN CLUB

Summer Care for House Plants
You can give many kinds of house
plants a lift by summering out-
doors, and the plants can help give
a touch of glamour to your yard.
Shade-loving plants such as Afri-
can violets and ivies may 'be used
outside if they are placed in the
shade away from direct sunlight.
Put sun-loving plants such as ger-
aniums in a sunny border. Begonias
do best in partial shade.
Leave house plants in their.con-
tainers. Plant container and all in
the border so you can lift plants
without disturbing roots.
House plants that possess the
bushy type of growth that gerani-
ums and begonias have should have
their tops cut back about two-
thirds.
Feed plants lightly every three
or four weeks. Dissolve three table-
spoonfuls of a balanced plant food
in a gallon of water. Use about a
pint to each plant.

The value of forest fire protec-
tion is indicated by a recent aerial
survey of unprotected lands of the
state. The survey showed that ap-
proximately 42 per cent of the un-
protected area was burned over dur-
ing. the last year in contrast with
only about .3 per cent of the pro-
tected area.

Plan Defense Unit
For Each County

Gulf County Council Will Probably
Be In Operation By First
of September

A defense council, probably will
.be organized in Gulf county by Sep-
tember 1, since plans of the state
defense council call for such an or-
ganizatiion in each of Florida's 67
counties by that date, according to
Frank Wright, assistant to Gover-
nor Warren.
Col. R. G. Howie, at present with
the army at Jacksonville, will take
over as state defense director to-
morrow at a salary of $6000 a year.
Everyone in Port St. Joe can re-
member how before World War II
the local defense organization be-
came a part of everyday life. Volun-
teers were organized into auxiliary
policemen, fire fighters, messen-
gers, first aid crews, etc., and free
first aid courses were given. And
everybody was issued an arm band
showing what his specialty in the
defense setup was.
However, the new setup probably
will take a different form.
The council is being financed by
$30,000 contributed from the appro-
priations of nearly every depart-
ment of the state, since the war-
time defense council was abolished
and its appropriation cut off by the
1947 legislature. The next legisla-


ture will be asked to set up a regu-
lar defense appropriation.

OUTSTANDING TB SPECIALIST
HEAD OF STATE'S SANATORIA
One of the nation's outstanding
specialists in tuberculosis control,
Dr. Henry C. Sweany of Chicago,
has been appointed chief medical
director for all Florida state tuber-
culosis sanatoria, according to an
announcement yesterday by W. T.
Edwards, chairman of the state tu-
berculosis board.
Dr. Sweany, who will assume his
duties October 1, will direct the
medical services of the state's four
TB sanatoriums.
Prior to accepting the Florida po-
sition, Dr. Sweany was medical di-
rector of research and director of
laboratories at the Municipal Tu-
berculosis Sanatorium in Chicago
for 30 years.

FORMER SLAVE

(Continued from page 1)
of this plantation was about six
miles west of Tallahassee.
Ferrell Allen, employed at Mr.
Drake's postoffice, is a great grand-
son of the Lucius Allen who owned
Aunt Laura when she was a slave
girl, and according to him, his fa-
ther's knowledge of the family his-
tory goes along with the experi-
ences related by Aunt Laura.
Life on the plantation was both
enjoyable and satisfying, according


to Aunt Laura. Not only were the
slaves treated good by "Master Lu-
cius," but they "all loved him."
Food and clothing were always
plentiful and the life of all the
slaves was good, she says.
Before the war ended, Master Lu-
cius purchased a plantation near
the present town of Sopchoppy, in
Wakulla county. The .move was
made, according to Aunt Laura,
about two years before "the presi-
dent told negroes they could be free
if they wanted to be." In their new
home, she says that the land was
good, cotton, corn and rice were
easily grown and that crops were
good. The men had easy times, with
hunting and fishing, as there was
plenty of fish and game to be had.
Each Christmas for a number of
years the slaves received new shoes
or clothes from the Allen family.
Before Master Lucius died in 1867
or '68, he would go to Tallahassee
just before Christmas and bring
back a wagon load of presents for
his slaves. Aunt Laura says that
her father, Abram Allen, went with
Master Lucius when the report was
received that the slaves were free.
Because their life was one of con-
tentment, none of the' slaves left to
take their freedom, but stayed on
and worked for the 'Aliens.
About two years after Master Lu-
cius died, "Missus Lizzie" went to
her rest, says Aunt Laura. Then
LeRoy Allen, the only son remain-
ing at home, took charge of the
plantation until he decided to sell
much of the land and move to near-


by Carrabelle. Not to be left be-
hind, Aunt Laura soon came and
worked for Mr. LeRoy for a period
of several years.
In reviewing her married life,
Aunt Laura recalls that she has
been married four times, being 23
at her first marriage. She rapidly
recalled the names of her husbands
as .being Langston Jordon, Henry
Williams, Calvin Jones and James
Wiggins, the last, who died in 1912.
Since that time Aunt Laura lived


at her home in Carrabelle for sev-
eral years, and for the past 13 years
has lived in St. Joe with her grand-
son and family.
She is deeply religious and says
that she left the Methodist Church
several years ago because of
"wrangling in the church." She then
joined the Church of God In Christ
here and still attends services when
she is able. "My spirit wouldn't
work right until I got 'out of the
fusses in my old church," she said.
