Parkabouts and oddities from a South Carolina note
A 21 pound gobbier at W H Ballard farm near Elloree relieved a turkey hen on a nest and stayed through four weeks of heat when five young hatched. Elsewhere a sleeping man Leo Smith snoozed on sidewalks and the statehouse lawn as police found him repeatedly asleep. A pavement job caused a house to sit in a street, and a county notice mentioned an owner unable to move it. Two guards fined for overtime parking surfaced amid a Nebraskan police report.
