NEWBERRY— is a city of Culture and offers many advantages to parents wishing to equip their children to take places of importance in society. OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE SAM BACK HOME Our friend Sam C. Hiller of West End stopped in Saturday to say he was glad to note we were back in the newspaper game, and he backed up this sentiment with a years sub scription. Sam was always a loyal “Herald” reader and we are glad to have him on the Sun list. PROMINENT OR NOTORIOUS A letter intended for us and simply addressed “Ott, Newberry, S. C.” was duly received Saturday from Union and we haven’t been able to figure out whether we are just that promi nent or puat notorious to that extent. The facetiously inclined Mr. George Goodman was the sender of the let ter. George was former publisher of The Herald and is now sweating with the Union Times, a daily of some 20 yearf, capably edited by “Preacher” Rice who always says what he thinks thru the columns of the Times. SUSPICIOUS, EH? Newspaper Editors sometimes get into trouble through proof-reading errors. Publishing the following story caused an editor to leave town: “Mrs. John Breinlinger presented her husband with an eight pound baby girl on Thursday. The happy parents have the congratulations of all on this suspicious event.” RAMBLINGS OP THE CAT Out and to the Davis Motor com pany where a roomful of pretty new Chewies are displayed and informed “Tince” Davis at the capital...

TURNER WANTS FEDERAL AID “The most important advantage of a program of Federal support of our public schools is the equal education al opportunities that would be afford ed children of all states,” said B. R. Turner, newly elected supervisor of industrial education of the state de partment of education, in his ad dress before the county teachers as sociation meeting Thursday after noon in the high school building. In developing his talk on the sub ject, “Federal Aid For Public .schools” Mr. Turner told of how the unit of support of public schools had grown from township control to state management. “Since we have pass ed over the control of schools by local communities, cities, and states, we are turning to the nation to help fi nance our schools because the. in equality between states is very great indeed,’ said Mr. Turner. “I wonder if you have ever stopped to think what the Federal govern ment is doing for education,” con tinued Mr. Turner, as he pointed out that the government had, iii the past, given lands from which the revenue was to be used for the support of ed ucation; has encouraged vocational teaching in the schools, and has al ways been interested in the exten sion work of schools and colleges. “Still it’s not just what we want,” he stated “because the great mass of people is not being reached. We want aid in our day schools for bet ter educational facilities and better citizenship training.” “We may expect to give up certain individual and state’s rights” con tinued Mr. Turner as he spoke of the daggers in getting a great deal of Fedaral aid. Stating that some states were wealthier than others, therefore pro vided means for better school facili ties, the state educational officer remarked, “The government should collect the wealth where' it is and spend it on the children where they e.” “We hope the Federal government is mindful of the evils of central control of schools, but are at the same time mindful of the benefits from actively taking over financing the school program,” concluded the speaker. G. A. Lindler, president of the as sociation was presiding over the second gathering of the county teach ers during this school year. After the principal address at the general meeting, a brief business session was held. Mr. Turner spoke in place of Gov. Olin D. Johnston who was scheduled to speak, but was unable to do so on account of being detained in Colum bia Proceeding the general meeting at four o’clock, departmental meetings were held with W. H. Ward, head of the extension division at the Univer sity of South Carolina, addressing the high school teachers; Mrs. Mae Aull, county attendance officer who addressed intermediate teachers, and Prof. O. B. Cannon who addressed teachers of primary grades. MINSTREL AT O’NEALL Thee will be a black-face Minstrel at the O’Neall high school building Friday night at 7:30.

Mr. Senn said the local delegation would in all prob ability hold another open meeting this year, perhaps the week after Christ mas, to hear appeals or suggestions from the people. “I have not talked to the Senator about it” said Mr. Senn “But I am sure he favors the open meeting instituted last year as he was pleased with the results of the first meeting: “Economy must be the guiding light” at the next session, asserted Representative J. Claud Senn. A Newberry merchant, he said cot ton growers in his county were “terribly hit” by hail early in the summer and later by the boll wevil. Mr. Senn went further and said, “economy should be the first con sideration in everything that comes up at the next session.” Farmers in Newberry County, he added, “simply won’t be able to pay taxes. “I can’t speak for the other coun ties,but I beleive that there are others hat are just as bad off as ours. We vill hear plenty of stories when the session starts. . . . Except for the cotton, things are not so bad, but ottfcn means so much to so many ■ounties that it naturally will be ’elt when it is lost.” JOLLY STREET The subscription list of The Sun is growing in the community.—W.

Keisler, on Sun day afternoon preached his last ser mon for us, there was a large crowd in attendance. It seemed he was very much touched, and regretted to leave us. The congregation seemed very sad. He will take up his work at Tom’s Brook, Virginia, next Sun day. He has two churches about two and a half miles apart. We will have a live wire although he be only a supply until we are able to get a preacher, that is Dr. J. B. Ham- mon. His first sermon will be the fourth Sunday, which is the second Christmas day at S:3C in the after noon. I trust he will have a good at tendance. I feel sure everyone will enjoy hearing him bring forth the message. There has been some talk of build- iing a parsonage, but talking does not amount to much unless it is put to use. I would be anxious to see the peo ple take action. The members of St. Philips are able to do the work. I notice some of those having elect ric lights have already decorated their homes with them for Christmas. It makes you think of Christmas when you see the tree with many co lors of lights on it. I am proud to see this spirit beginning to grow in the hearts of the people. Christmas time is a joyous time. At least everyone should make it so. Not by having big dances and getting drunk, but by rejoicing in the day which is set aside for the birth of bur Sa dour. Here’s a nice gift you boys and girls can give to mother and dad. Go to the Sun office and give them a sub scription W one year, this they will enioy reading. How rapidly the year has gone by. It seems only a short while since last Christmas. I will write only one more time then Christmas will be here.

Jolly Street Items Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Keisler The Community is very sorry and regret very much in giving up Rev. and Mrs. J. A. Keisler, Jr. moving from the community. During his stay here he has been an outstanding pas tor. For the past two years and four months it has been our privilege to be associated with Rev. and Mrs. Keisler in their work at the St. Paul’s Parish and we arereal aorryto have them leave us. In the resigna tion of Rev. Keisler we feel that we have lost a sincere and faithful pas tor and friend and shall miss their presence among us. We wish them great success in their new field of work.

Mrs Richardson is the daughter of Mrs. Fannie Riche of Little Mountain. Mr. Richardson is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Rich ardson. They will make their home with the bride grooms parents. Rev. J. A. Keisler was a welcome visitor at the Jolly Street school Monday morning at the chapel period. He conducted the devotionals and gave a very worth while talk to the stu dents and all that were present. His address was very sad to us, be cause one would class it as being a fare-well address. But he left many worthwhile and profitable words for everyone to let his memory linger in their hearts for years to come.

He followed with the 23rd Psalm and verses from the 14th chapter of John and the seventh chapter of Revela tions. The Rev, Mr. Phillips paid tri bute to the life of Captain Sanders and to the fearless way in which he faced death. “When I was a student at Rich mond university," the pastor said, “I knew Dr. George McDaniel pastor of the First Baptist church. “He was from the Texas plains where men often took the law into their own hands. He told me once of a visit he had made to a home which had been struck by a double tragedy. Two prominent Texas judges, broth ers, had been shot down by the law less criminals. Their friends came vo their home, heavily armed, and bitter feeling made a riot seen imminent. “They were trying to control them- elves, asking God’s help, when sud denly the door opened. There in the other rooms were the caskets, side by side. The 12-year-old daughter of the eldaat judge, dressed in white, knelt oeside the caskets. • “‘O God.* she College closes for Christmas on Friday 21st at noon, and wiU resume work on January 3rd at 8:45 o'clock a. m.
