1924-1942 (Continued on Page 8: Col. 1) re $, 'p hj i An engineer on the Southern Railway for many years prior to his retirement in 1939, Mr. Fant was widely-known as an evangelist as well as one of the fastest and most efficient engineers on the railroad. STARTED FROM HfcKK His "run'1 was the 160 miles be tween Greenville and Atlanta. He began his railroad career when he was a resident of Greenville, later transferr nsr his residence to At lanta where he conducted most of his religious activities.

His son's biography is replete with incidents not only of his deeply religious life but of his career as fireman and engineer. Prear.hlnir and engineering he considered Integral uarts of the same calling," his son writes. "Instead of one day of the week being held sacred to the Lord, to him all seven days were sacred; he felt he was serving God Just as much in the cab as In the pulpit. He accepted Christianity as a way of life, his life. He believed In it, lived in it, taught it." Doctor Fant devotes a few chapters to some of the dramatic incidents of his father's railroad career such as the "holdup of the midnight flyer," "the landslide" and "the wreck of the Crescent Limited." These are Interesting chapters and reveal many details which those who live In this area of the Southern Railway may not have known before or have lorgotten.

The holdup, which occurred near Gainesville. was one of the most publicized in the annals of crime. At the point of guns Engineer Fant was forced by Bill Miner and his gang to apply dynamite to a large safe in an express car containing coin worth $60,000. The safe could not be blown, so the bandits took the contents of a smaller safe containing only $2,700 In valuables and fled to the woods. All were later arrested and sentenced to long terms.

PRAYED WITH MEN When Engineer Fant was brought to Greenville to identify the cap This Is the view a visitor to Camp Greenville obtains when he looks where is situated the Symmes Chapel. The bronie cross in the center is Marchant poets. "No camp is better than Itj leader ship." W. B. (Monk) Mulligan, general secretary of the YMCA and director of the camp 35 miles north of Oreenvllle, said in reference to the chapel plaques.

"We do not say our camp is better for boys than hundreds of other boys' camps. We only say that nature especially provided this natural site for a boys' camp and we have built upon it the best buildings possible for the work." Many years ago, John M. Holmes, then general secretary of the spoke to J. Harvey Cleveland about the possibility of purchasing Blythe Shoals as a permanent site for a boys' camp. Mr.

Cleveland replied, "I have a site for you on top of the mountain. It used to belong to my grandfather. I own 28 acres of it which you can have. It is at elevation. There is a place for a clear, pure lake, a water fall, a superb view equal to Caesar's Head and a site for a full-size athletic field." Mr.

Cleveland was correct and the site he suggested is now Camp Greenville situated beyond Caesar's Head in South Carolina. At the end of the mountain is the beautiful view known as "Pretty A few years ago, Fred W. Symmes built a beautiful chapel there for Sunday services. It was to have been dedicated a few Sundays ago, but the polio epidemic caused postponment. As one enters the chapel the tablet on the left reads: "This chapel was kindly given to camp by Mr.

Fred W. Symmes who has devoted many years in time, thought, and money to make Greenville a better place in which to Jive." On the right, the tablet reads: "May a sense of the presence of Goc fill the1 soul of everyone who visits this sacred spot." The large bronze crucifix seen in the center was secured In Germany at the close of World War II and is dedicated to the memory of the late M. Luther Marchant. In the center of the wall at the front Is a tablet to J. Harvey Cleveland which reads as follows: "This cliff is named for Mr.

J. Harvey Cleveland who located this camp site for us and generously donated twenty-eight acres of ground including this wonderful view." The other tablets read as follows. THOU DIVINE SPIRIT THAT, IN ALL EVENTS OP LIFE, ART KNOCKING AT THE DOOR OF MY HEART, HELP ME TO RESPOND TO THEE, WOULD NOT BE DRIVEN BLINDLY AS THE STARS OVER THEIR COURSES. I WOULD NOT BE MADE TO WORK OUT THY WILL OR FULFIL THY LAW UNINTELLIGENT-LY, TO OBEY THY MANDATES UN8YMPATHETIC ALLY. I WOULD TAKE THE EVENTS OF MY LIFE AS GOOD AND PERFECT GIFTS FROM THEE; I WOULD RECEIVE EVEN THE SORROWS OF LIFE AS DISGUISED GIFTS FROM THEE.

I WOULD HAVE MY HEART OPEN AT ALL TIMES TO RECEIVE AT MORNING. NOON, AND NIGHT; IN SPRING, AND SUMMER, AND WINTER. WHETHER THOU COM-EST TO ME IN SUNSHINE OR IN RAIN, I WOULD TAKE THEE INTO MY HEART JOYFULLY. THOU ART THYSELF MORE THAN THE SUNSHINE, THOU ART THYSELF COMPENSATION FOR THE RAIN; IT IS THEE AND NOT THY GIFTS I CRAVE; KNOCK, AND I SHALL OPEN UNTO THEE. AMEN." GEORGE MATHESON.

Ravsf IBIS 1944 rallroadinc several years ago after in 52 years, but he has continued tured robbers "it seemed quite natural for the Christian engineer to kneel with them there in the cell and ask God's forgiveness." The storv of the wreck of the Crescent Limited Is vividly told by Doctor Fant: It was an uneventful trip from Greenville," the engineer said. "My train came to me a little late and I was running si last speea vo make up lost time As I ap proached the Nortn uroaa, a ciear mountain stream which flows under the fill through a culvert, I suddenly felt a Jolt and knew that something had gone wrong."

State parks. Including Table Rock and Paris Mountain, have cecorded unusually large crowds both in picnic and swimming areas especially during a prolonged heat wave in July. The year's record of 99.4 degrees was recorded July 17. Although private camps accounted for the largest number of seasonal campers, the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, YWCA. YMCA and Camp Parker have provided more than 1.000 persons with brief respite from the city's confinement during the summer.

PERIOD POSTPONED Camp Old Indian, Blue Ridge Boy Scout Council camp 24 miles from this CltV on the Henrtercnnvllle highway, closed July 28 after the final period was postponed due td polio scares. Over 600 Scouts from 15 districts in the council attended durlne the summer. No polio cases were noted and various improvements helped officials control disease of any sort. Water supplies at Old Indian were extended to reach all parts of the site and a 5.000-gallon spring now supplies water to a large storage tank. Numerous hikes, trail-blazing trips and craft nroerams occupied the Scouts' time and the "buddy-system'' was used again this year to prevent unnecessary accidents at the waterfront.

Usual Y-Teen sessions Include 12-year-old through high school age members of Parker district clubs. Camp Parker is at Blvthe Shoals near Cleveland, not in North Carolina, but officials of several other local organizations felt it necessary not to gather large groups of children during the current situation.
