Near the mouths of these slow streams, in a region 150 miles long and about 50 miles wide, were the great rice plantations that before the Civil War made the South Carolina Low Country "the most prosperous area on the continent." In 1850 it had 446 plantations...
...trial for "criminal conspiracy" at Kahoka, Mo. was Mrs. Nellie Tipton Muench, acquitted last autumn of having helped kidnap Dr. Isaac Dee Kelly in St. Louis in 1931. That trial had been featured by the arrival in Mrs. Muench's home of a baby, which she called "a gift from God in my time of distress." Wealthy, Socialite Dr. Marsh Pitzman of St. Louis, who once shared offices with Mrs. Muench's physician husband, certified the baby was hers.
