Commentary: Tearing down courthouse thing makes her angry She has memories of 'riding broom' and of the bribery needed to get Bill Williams out from under the building, of when it was the place to meet Righteous outrage at notion - the very idea!- to: "Tear the old courthouse down" By Ann Burton Murphy This, "tear the courthouse down thing" really makes me mad. How many other town's have torn theirs down? I have a lot on memories, concerning the courthouse, that I've passed on to my son and grandsons. I remember when Shaw Rowe used to clean the courthouse. It was a big thing, to get to "ride on the big broom" that Shaw used to sweep the floor. Another memory was when our pet raccoon, Bill Williams, went under the courthouse and someone had to go to Luther Collins' Drug Store, buy an ice cream cone and an Orange Crush, to coax him to come out from under it. This may not sound like much, to a lot of people, but it made good memories, to a little girl and her two sisters, growing up in Columbia in the late 50s. It was also a big deal for everyone to meet up, at the courthouse, on Saturdays back then. This story was posted on 2009-04-05 11:17:34
