* remind us that he has cut that great oak of his and will use the stump for a meat block; rather he will let John r Scurry use it as it is the only thing in all that country big enough for Mr. Scurry’s hogs. WHITE AGREES White Fant, who runs a couple of “power houses” in the city thinks the ruling requiring liquor stores to remove their signs a good one. And indeed it is. The fellow with a dry gullet will find a liquor store if there is one around, and he who eschews “the cup of cheers” should not be offended by loud signs. m GOT SOMTHING THERE Ernest Carpenter has placed a good many of his dollars on the line for that new store of his and we trust he will be rewarded many fold—such faith deserves reward. The new front is particularly pleasing and makes the building look a fourth wid er. The big windows will be nice for the ladies to check on their make-up as well as admire feminine finery. VOLUME 1; NO. 1 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1937 County Women Rose Opens at Chappells Lunch Stand - ' NUMBER ONE Mrs. J. H. Summer is first to the line with $1 thereby becoming sub scriber number one to The Sun. She expresses the hope that it wil 1 oe a long time before The Sun “sinks” in the west, flattering us with an ex pression that it lies within our power to be an influence for good in the community. We only hope that we may be able to accomplish in the days alloted to us a small part of what she has already done for Newberry. We would like to frame and keep that dollar but since Its out that we have one there is little chance, ANOTHER ONE The Sun is somewhat jubilant to announce its telephone number as The "Tate Colonel Aull had this number way back when the phone company was independently owned. Upon assumption of the system by the Bell company number one was agajn assigned to Col. Aull in recognition of his work to give the city better phone service. So just call number one for most anything you warft. We’ll undertake to do most anything except get Jim John son' a wife or balance the budget. a I PXGE the THiN M AlV ~ **"* '' Cliff Smith, who runs*®’ hoi-dog- hamburger and what’ll-you-have-to- drink stand in the little room be tween whereThe Sun shines more or less radiantly and the old home of Newberry’s first newspaper, says his place is so small he has to cook his hamburgers on edge and that if a customer eats more than two he has to go out the door sidewise. Busi ness being a little dull the other day Cliff failed to warp a customer - who downed 8 dc^fs -and the poor fellow had ’to sleep in the place till next momiitg. By that time, however he had forgotten the ordeal of the day before but remembered the fragrant goodness of the dogs and started eating again. As we went to press the fellow was still wedged in the place hnd the wall in opr scriptorial sanctum was slowly cracking—bulg ing, swaying, snapping, breaking— that and nothing more. (FLASH:— Ambulance hauls off man in stupor.) That’s him folks; he came thru.

The UnitedrtStates has made more progress to its age than any nation in the world. Lord Corn wallis surrendered Oct. 19, 1781, making it one hundred and fifty-six years ago, so our nation is still young. From that time you can see what great progress it has made. It has made seemingly impossible pro gress in that time. We hope this grand nation will not stop, but con tinue to progress.

JOHN AMICK PASSES PROSPERITY A FRIEND PASSES under the scribbling Much water has pasag< bridge since our last efforts. There has been, much, now out of the public mind which we ‘ would have enjoyed commenting up on. However w£ must call back for a brief word abo|»t one over whom we made many $ jest and who was friend. A few weeks before the Angle rung dawn the curtain upon George Pappas we querried him about his desires and hopes to return to" the old country.. - t “I’ll r^fer return in this world” was his reply. He seemed to sense then that should; he start immediately he would never arrive alive in the land of the Greeks. — There is often tragedy and heart aches, little realized by the public in the lives of foreigners who come here seeking their fortunes. We usually know all there is to know about our own people; sometimes we make it our own business to know too much, but the Greeks, Jews and others rarely confide in others than their own kind. George was an ex ception so far as this writer was con cerned; for some reason he told us his life story. There was much dis appointment, climaxed by happiness at seeing his daughter come to America and marry a man af his liking and to have the company of his son in his last days. While all that is mortal of George rests in his adopted land we are cer tain he believed he would “go' back” Vari-colored dahlias were used for decorating the party rooms when Mrs. |W. H. Leaphart entertained the mem bers of her bridge club last Tuseday afternoon. Several guests enjoyed the game with the members. Mrs. B. M. Salley was high score winner and Mrs. Voight Epting was winner at bingo. A palatable salad plate with Rus sian tea was srved after the game.

More In School Than Last Year v, Records that have been compiled by the county attendance teacher, Mrs. Mae Aull, concerning enrollment and average attendance of all county schools, high and elementary, for the first month of school show interest ing changes as compared to records of school last year, 1936. Last year there was only one school in the county, Chappels, that had 100 per cent average in attendance. This year, for the first month, Long Lane, St. Philips, and Chappels school showed 100 per cent atten dance. There were no grammer schools with a perfect attendance average in 1936 while this year’s records show 100 per cent for Mount Pleasant and Peak schools. Because of the enforcement of the regular attendance law, many schools have increased their enrollment. The scool at Kinards has doubled its en rollment necessitating an additional teacher. Whitmire shows a consid- able increased enrollment. During the first month of school last year the county high schools en rollment totaled 1259, and this year’s figures are 1309. * The enrollment of elementary schools last year amounted to 3360 while this year’s figures showed a decrease to 3286. Average attend ance figures for elementary schools during thftjfirst month of 1936 were '3180 corfnjjkr^d with 3154 of 1937. Every cnHd in Newberry county be tween the agej of 6 and 16 are in school with the exception of 3 or 4, it was learned from Mrs. Aull. * The greatest differences in enroll ment appears in the high schools as children that are placed back in school because of the attendance law are of junior high or high school ages.

YEAR Robbers Shoot At Local Man Robbers attempting to loot the safe of Thomas and Howard grocery about five o’clock Thursday morning poured a load of slugs in the Ply mouth car of Dan Johnson as he ap proached the building on his rounds delivering morning papers. The rob bers evidently thought Mr. Johnson was an officer and opened up on him. Three tires on Mr. Johnson’s car were punctured and the slugs made holes in fenders and radiator of the car. The robbers stunned Newton Hogge night watchman for the Standard warehouse, located next to Thomas and Howard. Following the attack on Mr. Hogge they entered the build ing and attempted to pry open the safe with a crow bar. They had suc ceeded in prying off the outer door when Mr. Johnson appeared on the scene. ' It is said the robbers were travel ing in a light brown car. There were three or four of them. A robbery at Clinton earlier in the morning is thought to have been the work of these men. Several early rising Newberrians heard the shots and wondered if the Sino-Jap war had been transferred to local ground. Mr. Johnson dropped low in the seat of his car when the shooting be gan. He would no doubt have been seriously wounded but fot his pres ence of mind. Officers have or no clue on which to work but every effort is being made to apprehend the bandits.
