OUT AMONG
THE PEOPLE
RIGHTS A WRONG
Thirteen years ago a young stu
dent slipped inta a football game at
the Newberry College stodium—slip
ped in we are to believe because he
didn’t have the price of a ticket. Tim e
moves on; the young man becomes a
minister and looking back to square
himself with the world recalls the
Newberry incident. Forthwith he
dispatched to Dr. J. C. Kinard the
following letter:
“Enclosed is a check in the amount
of five dollars which I am sending in
payment (with interest) of a ticket
to your 1986 Thanksgiving Day
football game—which I enjoyed
through the courtesy of a missing
board in your fence.
“Since those, my college days, my
scale of values and estimate of right
and wrong has, I hope, increased in
truthfulness. At any rate it is a real
pleasure, in an effort to right past
wrongs, to hand you the enclosure.”
WHAT ABOUT LEAP YEAR?
With gratitude to Mrs. L. I. Bla
lock for thi u id.:g of us and bringing
in the following article, we pass it
on to you—
“Some of us, like the lazy man, may
have asked, “How many days of the
year must I work?” But few of us
have arrived at the lazy man’s answer.
He reasoned: There are 365 days in
the year; eight hours a day or one-
third of the time I sleep. Therefore,
I must save 122 days, or one-third of
366 days, for sleep. That leaves me
243 days for work. I ought to play
eight hours a day, or a third of the
time. Again subtracting 122 days for
play, I have 121 days for work. There
are fifty-two Sundays; that leaves
me sixty-nine days for work. I am
entitled to a half-day off on Satur
day; one half of fifty-two equals
twenty-six, .and that-kawearm* forty-
three days for work. I have an hour
for lunch every day; that would a-
mount to about twenty-eight, and that
leaves me fifteen days for work.
Every honest, self-respecting, hard
working citizen ought to have a two-
weeks’ vacation; fourteen days for va
cation. That leaves me one day for
work. And that’s Labor Day."

OPEN IN MORNINGS

Dr. R. C. Grier, president of Ersk
’ne college. Due West, was a visitor
here Tuesday.
Billingsley Dedicates
Dedication of the two-acre planta
tion of pine seedlings to the 4-H Club
of Whitmire was made Saturday by
District Ranger John C. Billingsley
of the U. S. Forest Service. Symbolic
of the trend toward conservation of
forest resources in the scheme of our
economic system is this tract of 2000
trees.
Ranger Biillngsley, in a talk before
the twenty boys began planting, said
in effect, “Forest industries should
take top rank for stability. But with
lumber operations cutting saw timber
five times as fast as it is grown, an
appalling decrease of activity in this
line is not far distant. The effect
this legion of unemployed will have
upon our unsettled economic situation
is incalculable.
“This sitr.ation need not occur, how
ever. Between 70 and 80 million acres
of submarginal land in the United
States is idle. Trees can be profit
ably grown on this land while “money”
crops will show complete failure.
“We are removing two acres of
these millions from idleness this
morning. This in itself is a small
step. The accumulation of acres
which could be planted in this manner
is not!
“Cooperation such as this obtained
from every boy Scout troop—every 4-
H Club—every Civic organization—
would result in the removal of all
these acres from uselessness! This
is our goal; it will be obtained only
through education. That is why I
believe that the consciousness of what
we are doing, the fact that you have
ssked to do this and have wanted to
'earn to plant trees quite overshadows
the material benefit which will be de
rived from this plantation.”
Rev. McEachern, sponsor of the
club, took an active part in the work.
He expressed his delight at the lively
interest shown by the boys and the
rapid progress made in the technique
of correct planting. Irtstruetiow*

Civic League Plans For
Further Beautification
(By MRS. J. H. SUMMER)
The Civic League held its January
meeting at the home of Mrs. John F.
Clarkson with Mrs. R. D. Wright as

discussion. Reports were heard from
all officers and committeewomen. Fine
reports were given as to the condi
tion of new court house grounds, old
court house grounds. Memorial Park,
Margaret Hunter Park, hospital
grounds and college grounds. All of
these projects were reported as being
excellently cared for.
The League voted to move in three
thousand shrubs for future planting.
There shrubs are temporarily planted
on the hospital property, but will be
moved as needed to other public parks
and play gr >unds. Thanks were ex
tended by the Le tgue to the City
Council, County Supervisor, street
overseer and Mr. H. D. Whitaker for
assistance rendered in moving the
three thousand shrubs.
By invitation of the Newberry City
Park commission, tile League will
sponsor beautification of Fair ground
buildings and entrance to the fair
grounds. Mrs. Forrest Summer, WPA
Supervisor of Civic League Beautifi
cation, will direct this new project.
Twenty additional workers have been
transferred to her group to take care
of this planting.

LIBRARY BOOKS NOW
DISTRIBUTED OVER COUNTY
The Newberry County demonstration
book truck began the circulation of
books in the county last Thursday
morning. This long felt need is made
possible by the cooperation of the W
P A and other agencies in the county.
The Newbury County Council of
Farm Women has been largely respon
sible for obtaining books for the
truck, this ogi anizt.tion having bought
about 450 boohs.
A permanent itinerary will soon be
worked out so that the various com
munities of the county will know what
dates to expert the truck. The first
few trips are mo^e or less for the pur
pose of getting some conception of
the time it will take to make the
rounds. The traveling library will
make the round at least twice a
month, with Mrs. John Mayes and
Miss Elizabeth Boozer in charge.
There is no cost connected with the
service given by this truck. Anyone
wishing to contribute books or cash
to the cause will aid in making this
project a success.

High Court Upholds
South Carolina Law
Case In Which Steve C. Griffith Ap
peared For Argument Before
Highest Tribunal
The United States Supreme court
held in an opinion handed down Mon
day that a state can constitutionally
limit the width and weight of inter
state automobile trucks passing
through its territory.
The decision was handed down as a
result of an appeal from a three-
judge court sitting in Columbia which
held that the Federal government, by
virtue of its having money invested
in roads of the state, could control
the traffic thereon.
The Supreme tribunal held that the
contested South Carolina law limit
ing truck widths to 90 inches and
cross weights to 20,000 pounds, was
onstitutional.
Griffith Before Court
Attorney Steve C. Griffith of this
city, was one of the three lawyers
selected out of the more than 30
nterested in the case, to present de
fense arguments before the supreme
court. The case was vigorously con
tested by government lawyers and
trucking interests.
Opposed in Washington
Intervening in the case, the de
partment of justice had contended
the law was an “unreasonable bur
den” on interstate commerce . Of-
Gcials of Florida, who also fought the
law, expressed concern at today’s de
cision.
Cary D. Landis, Florida attorney
general said it would be “a terrible
blow to the Florida citrus industry”
because it would not pay shippers to
dispatch such small loads of fruit to
eastern markets.
Justice Stone, who read today’s
opinion, declared the constitution does
not forbid the regulation set up by
South Carolina. The decision was
7 to 0, Justices Cardozo and Reed not
States Not Forestalled
Justice Stone said the constitution
al grant of power to congress to re
gulate interstate commerce did not
•forestall all state action” affecting
interstate commerce.
H e said it had been recognized that
here were matters of local concern,
“the regulation of which unaviodably
involves some regulation of interstate
-ommerce but which, because of their
local character and their number and
diversity, may never be fully dealt
with by congress.”
The lower court found that from
85 to 90 per cent of motor trucks used
n interstate hauls were 96 inches
wide and weighed, when loaded 20-
700 pounds. Only four other states,
it said, prescribed a gross weight as
'ow as this and none other had a
width limitation below 96 inches.
Crop Control Bill
Becomes Law of Land
The crop control bill highly praised
by some and as bitterly denounced by
others, received final approval Mon
day and has been signed by the presi
dent.
Little is known of the terms, re
strictions or allowances contained in
the bill. It does, however, make the
secretary of agriculture virtual dic
tator over the farmer. He is empow
ered to estimate the expected supply
of various crops, set this figure
against expected demand and tell the
nation how much of this or that may
be planted or raised.
A bonus will be paid to farmers,
ostensibly after the crop is planted,
for planting no mor e than specified
acreage.
Senator McNary of Oregon, long
identified with farm legislation, said
the bill as a whole makes the farmers
“vassals” of the secretary of agri
culture.
Senator Barkley, Democratic lead
er, expressed his satisfaction over the
bill, saying: “This is the best farm
bill that has ever been enacted by the
congress to detal with the great pro
blem of American life.”
The ever-normal grjraary feature of
the bill empowers the secretary of
agriculture to fix marketing quotas
in case of bumper crops, limiting the
quantities that could be sold, in an
attempt to protect the price. The es
tablishment of such quotas however
would be dependent upon the vote of
two thirds of the farmers in a special
referendum.
Church Gets $250 Gift
Rev. C. J. Matthews, pastor of
Smyrna Presbpterian church has re
ceived $250 from Belk-Memorial
Fund to be used in the construction

clear the atmosphere of any confusion
resulting from the recent speeches
on peace terms by the German chan
cellor aqd the Austro-Hungarian for
eign minister and to reiterate that

out dissent yerterday noon. The bill
carries a total amount of $ 3, 370,625.-
96 to be raised by a levy of nine and
one-half mills.
Governor Manning went before the
free conference committee and told
the boys if they did not give him his
liquor enforcement money for his
State constables he would call an ex
tra session of the legislature or veto
the whole appropriation bill. . The
boys came across with $41,000. He
only wanted fifty thousand. The gov

SPEAK-
do you think ambulances should be
allowed to rush through red lights and
leavy iraflic, endangering others?
Russia has declared the state of
war to be at an end and has ordered
the demobilization of Russian forces
on all fronts, according to a dispatch
received here today from Brest-La-

Manufacturers in the 28 states east
of the Mississippi river have virtually
suspended in obedience to the gov
ernment’s order forbidding the use of
fuel. Millions of persons were made
idle as a result of the order. Most of
the plants engaged on war contracts
were exempted from the fuel order’s
operation, but few of them learned of
it in time and most of them closed
down with the other factories.

P. N. Abrams, auditor.
“I think so—in emergency cases.”
B. M. Mills, merchant, Silverstreet:
“No, I don’t think so.”
Floyd Bradley, banker:
“I believe that in lots of incidents

a few minutes in arriving at the hos
pital might save a life.”
H. K. Shannon, service station opera,

J. R. Ford, merchant:
“ No, I do not think so.”
Will Waters, clerk:
“ No, I sure don’t. It’s no use in
killing others to get to the ones that

The death' of Mrs. Carrie Gary at
Abbeville last week removes from
the scenes of this world a remark
able woman. . . She had three sons,
all lawyers, and she had the pleasure

not only so, but all of them at the
same time wearing the ermine of the
bench of this state. Eugene B. Gary,
chief justice of the supreme court of
the state, and Frank B. Gary judge
of the circuit in which is Newberry,
and Ernest Gary for a long time
judge of the circuit court and until
his death only a few years ago. And
