HIDDEN FROM YANKEES
Side Of Meat, 72 Years
Old, Found Near Clinton
Special to the Star
CLINTON June 26—In Sampson
eounty, where anything can hap
pen and usually does-comes this
ta'e of a side of meat hidden from
Yankee marauders during the
Civil War, and discovered recent
ly in the ceiling of the old- home
place of P. S. Cromartie, now liv
ing at Roseboro.
The meat, which is in relatively
good condition, was found in the
200 year oid house iocated on the
old Fayetteville-Wilmington stage
coach road in Bladen county,
about one mile from Hickory
Grove school.
The present occupants of the
house, Mr. and Mrs. L. M. Liles,
In the process of installing electric
wiring, discovered it between the
ceiling’ of the first and second
floors. The meat was wedged
down between the joists, surround
ed by oak leaves.,
The home was given to Mr.
Cromartie by his father, F. L.
Cromartie. and three generations

of the family were reared in the
house. The ceiling has noi been
disturbed during his lifetime and
this fact gives basis for the be
lief that it has been there since
about 1865, when the territory was
covered thoroughly by the Yankee
invaders.
Mr. Cromartie does not recom
mend the meat for eating. Even
though in good physical shape with
no evidence of worms, it appears
as if it might be strong in taste.
He would like to give it to a
museum or collector, and asks
that he be contacted in Roseboro,
should anyone be interested.
The piece of meat weighs be
tween ten and fifteen pounds.
JET MISSILES CAUSE
ALARM AT BEACHES
“Flying stovepipes”, jet-propel
led missiles, were the flares which
residents at Wrightsville and
Carolina Beaches saw Wednesday
night causing a rumor to be cir
culated that a ship or plane was
in trouble, it was reported yester
day.
The jet missiles, being tested
at Camp Davis, were mistaken
about 10:30 p. m. for flares about
six miles north of Wrightsville.
The Keltex Corporation at Camp
Davis, disclosed that the “stove
pipes” were fired as part of
normal testing operations.
Wednesday night’s tesls were
the first to be made after dark,
according to officials.
The weapons, which reach
speeds of 780 miles an hour, are
set due north over a course away
from the norma! shipping lanes.
BODY OF NEGRO FOUND
ON ACL UNDERPASS.
The body of a Negro man.
identified as Johnnie Johnson,
about 45, was found Wednesday
night on the Atlantic Coast Line
underpass at Ninth street, it was
reported yesterday.
Coroner Gordon Doran said he
was unable to ."'v whether the
man had died of an accident or
as a result of foul play. There
was a hole in the man s skull
w’hieh may have resulted from a
hammer-blow’, Doran said.
Kinsey Waters, Negro, found the
body and notified police, it was
reported.
A date for an inquest has not
been set, Doran added.
