Entered as second-class matter
December 6, 1937, at the post office
at Newberry, South Carolina, under
the Act of March 3, 1879.
ALL FEEDING AT THE TROUGH
South Carolina has 2,116 commis
sioners, boards, bureaus, committees,
or departments functioning at the ex
pense of the taxpayers. It has a
hundred more than North Carolina,
a state with double the population
and tripple the resources. Georgia
has only 754 such units of govern
ment and Virginia only 317. Every
now and again we read of a bureau
or commission we did not know ex
isted and we read the papers pretty
close. They are created so fast it is
impossible to keep track of them.
VOTED WISELY
Representative Senn and Dominick
were two of the 19 who voted against
a bill to retire judges on half pay and
we think they voted wisely.
Judges receive $6,500 a year and
mast of them are at least comfortably
fixed when they enter the service.
If a judge is as wise as he is supposed
to be he will lay aside something
from that amount for a rainy day. If
he has no more appreciation of money
than to spend $6,500 a year he has
no business on the bench.
THE PUBLIC DEBT
UNCLE SAM—HOME OWNER
The United States government now
has 71,733 homes on its hands as a
result of the failure of borrowers to
pay off loans made then by the Home
Owners Loan corporatoin. More than
fifty thousand of these homes were
turned in last year.
An interesting slant is revealed in
the fact that 18 per cent of the homes
were turned back when borrowers
abandoned them. Some pretty shaky
financing here when 4000 tenants
felt they did not have equity enough
in the properties to work anything out
of them. Refusal to pay despite pos
session of funds accounted for an
other 21 per cent.
Uncle Sam will find out some of
these days that people place little
value on things given them.
START AT THE BOTTOM COLONEL
Colonel J. K. Breedin, who heads
the forces of economy in the state,
as managing director of the Farmers
and Taxpayers league, and the Com
mittee on Industry and Agriculture,
called together quite a crowd in Co
lumbia the other day; or at least
quite a crowd answered his call.
These gentlemen, alarmed over the
trend of state legislation and the en
ormity of the appropriation bill, talk
ed a lot and passed some resolutions
but it won’t amount to a hill of beans.
Colonel Breedin knows better than
anyone that the way to put an end
to this business is to stir up the boys
back in the bushes; the average man
on the streets. It was done in ’32 and
it can be done again but it will take
more than a few hundred business
men to do it.
Any reform movement should start
at the bottom anyway. Rarely ever
does a movement started by business
men appeal to the masses.
From figures of the department of
commerce we learn that the public
debt has risen from $1,263,417,000 in
1900 to $36,424,613,000 in 1937. The
per capita debt of the nation today is
$281.63, against $16.56 in 1900. About
11 billions of dollars has just been
added to the public debt since the
war. The nations debt jumped from
a little under thre e billions to 12 bil
lions between the years 1917-18. This
of course was on account of the war.
The 11 billions since then went for
relief in one form or another.
How the country will ever dig from
under such an enormous debt is giv
ing more concern right now than
ever, since the government expected
to pay for the depression out of the
profits of prosperity which seems
just around the corner but headed in
the wrong direction as evidence the
call of 260 million more for relief.

Now that spring is almost here, it
is not too soon to be thinking about
the 1938 Softball Season. This sport
was enjoyed here last year by hund
reds of girls, boys, and men who play
ed, and by thousands of spectators
who saw the games. The 11 girls’
and the 10 mens’ teams in this county
played 217 games which are record
ed at the W P A Recreation office, and
many others which were never record
ed.
This newest and most popular of
sports has taken the country by
storm. It is expected that the num
ber of teams and players this season
will be doubled that of last season.
Prospects in Newberry and county
are the best ever known here.
Excellent girls’ teams are expected
from th following communities:
Town, Union, Prosperity, Stoney
Hill, Oakland, Mollohon, West End,
Whitmire, Hartford, O'Neal), Silver-
street and possibly one from the New
berry business women’s chib. The
silver cup which Stoney Hill won last
year, will again be awarded to the
girls’ team making the highest league
average for the year.
The men's teams expected to com
pete for trophys are: Firemen, Mer
chants, Barbers, Professional men,
Cotton buyers, Filling station men,
Gully Birds (Soil Conservation), C. C.
Camp 7, West End, Oakland, and Mol
lohon. These teams will probably be
divided into two leagues with a cup
for the winner in each league.
All managers are asked to start or
ganizing their teams now and getting
pitchers ready for preliminary games.
One local team has already had two
practices this season,, so let’s get
strated! Check over your equipment,
and see whether you will need other
supplies or not. ffew shipments of
softballs, bats, gloves, caps, and other
supplies have been received by the
hardware stores in Newberry. Lea
gues will be formed and official sche
dules will be made out in the near fu
ture. We are hoping this article will
answer most of the numerous ques
tions coming in regarding softball
and when it will start here. For other
jmformation pertaining to any of the
above, please see J. C. Kilgore or call
at the Recreation Office, from 8 to 12
a. m. any week day except Saturday.

SPECTATOR RESORTS TO FANCY TO IMPRESS LAWMAKERS
We who have met at the call of the
South Carolina Federation of Com
merce, Agriculture and Industry are
actually engaged in business in South
Carolina from the seacoast to the
mountains and represent virtually
•very kind of business in this state.
We have come to take counsel with
you as our representatives, called to
a high and responsible office. We
wish to be brief and explicit, so offer
our observations and our recommend
ations in order:
In our business we are accustomed
to take stock and prepare balance
sheets. We might try that method
now.
Among our assets in South Caro
lina are:
1. American-bom citizens, reared in
the American tradition and bred in
the South. That makes for stability
in a time of uncertainty and high-
pitched emotions. Most of our work
ers, whether in executive position or
doing manual service, are our own
native sons;
2. We have an excellent climate
which will increasingly contribute to
our development;
3. We have hunting and fishing,
mountain and sea-shore, that are now
bringing in probably twelve million
dollars a year from tourists;
4. We have enormous possibilities
in our forests, under our soil and in
the beds of the rivers. We have the
undeveloped raw material for several
industries which might invest many
millions of dollars. These are not
vague and visionary prophecies but
the advice of specialists who have dug
and bored into our lands and river
beds.
5. We have splendid harbors and
the State is excellently served by
great water courses.
6. We have a soil capable of sus
taining our population many times
over and producing for export at the
same time.
7. We have great power plants ac
tually serving us, and yet more elec
tric power in prospect, assuring abun
dant power at low cost for all possible
industrial development;
8. We have cotton mills, employing
ninety-five thousand people and pay
ing out last year $71,962,910 in wages
and about $4,000,000 in taxes, sustain
ing directly and indirectly about one-
fourth of the population of the State.
Total investment in cotton mills in
South Carolina is $198,551,688. Most
of these mills are concentrated in the
piedmont; our state could easily pro
vide sites and operatives for as many
more in the coastal and middle coun
ties;
9. We have in our state an honest
administration of the law and as fair,
minded men in official life as any
other state of the Union.
Here are some of our liabilities:
1. Unbalanced judgement which is
worse than an unbalanced budget?
2. We insist on having what other
States have, regardless of differences
in wealth and income of the people;
3. A disposition to play up humani
tarian motives of secondary impor
tance when they may result in costing
the bread and meat of those we say
we want to help;
4. A want of vision and faith to
disregard unessentials of the moment
in order to press forward for the lar
ger and fuller utilization of our ma
jor resources.
We have numerated casually some
of our assets and some of our liabili
ties. You have before you, gentlemen,
an opportunity to take some steps
which should be the beginning of a
new development for our state. Great
States like Massachusetts and other
New England States, have become
convinced that industry can be driven
away by laws which impede it in
competition with other states and na
tions. Other states, like Mississippi,
Florida and Nebraska are using every
means to attract industries, some
other states, like Delaware, seem a-
bout to become homes of many great
enterprises of other States which are
now fleeing from burdens of excessive
taxation.
We think we might as well face
facts squarely. There are some peo
ple who say that in resisting certain
proposals we are placing dollars a-
bove human beings. It appears to
have the flavor of the milk of human
kindness to propose measures which
might seem to be motivated by hu
manitarian impulses; but all of us
live by business, by buying and sell
ing. The farmer buys fertilizers and
sells his labor and his services as
manager in the price he gets for his
crop. All of us know that he should
get more; and w e realize that the
business life of this State is depend
ent largely on our agriculture. The
merchant^, the manufacturers—and
all others—operate in competitive
markets. Unless they can make a
profit they can’t operate; if they
don’t operate, then their operatives
swell the tide of the unemployed. Our
first need is to make it possible to do
business at a profit and to give em
ployment to all who seek it and can
render a service. Our business will
absorb our people in jobs as soon as
the trade, the sales of goods, make
this possible. If, then, from however
lofty and noble a motive, burdensome
restrictions are imposed either as to
regulations, conditions of work, or
taxes, instead of helping our people
we inadvertently, perhaps, but surely
run the risk as to men and women
now earning their livelihood, but you
kill the investment in the plant
We must consider calmly in South
Carolina whether we want more in
dustries and more people. If our
State is satisfied with what she has
and will risk even that then we might
as well shut up shop and quit liquid-
ting our holdings at whatever we
can get and buying tax-exempt bonds.
But we want our state to be a field
of investment as it certainly is a field
for development.
We have come before you without
specific recommendations of tax re
peal; we have come to suggest a co
operation between the Legislature and
‘the business men of the State, includ
ing our farmers and operatives, for
the progressive development of South
Carolina. There is a bread and meat
side to business which some of our
people overlook. We first have to pay
for our raw products; we have to
earn the wages we pay; then we have
to earn the taxes; whatever is left,
after paying insurance, depreciation,
and many other items, may be a pro
fit. When a business cannot add all
these items together in the sale of
its products it must close up. No one
can draw money from the air and no
one can charge more for his products
than his competitors charge. Let us
have a goal. The Governor of New
Mexico. says that tourists spend one
hundred million dollars in that State
every year. If one hundred million
is spent in New Mexico we should
be able to get more than that. We
ar e one days trip from New York,
with a climate neither enenrvnating
nor rigorous. We might try to rea
lize this within three years; it is
easily possible; then we should try
to get an equal sum jn new industries
or expansion of present industries.
It is a mark to guide us. Shall we
try it, gentlemen? Shall we pull to
gether for a richer state? Or shall
we have the menance every year of
legislation that would imperil the in
vestments already made? Nothing
is so badly needed in our State as
fresh capita] and nothing is more
timid. We frighten away investors
as they see attacks and drastic meas
ures suggested against the industries
we now have. We have great possi
bilities in South Carolina but we must
be more business minded.
Do you want to know how our State
expenditures swell? Well, I read in
the papers Wednesday, that the Wo
men’s Council want the Legislature
to appropriate $60,000 to care for the
State parks. And there you are! And
that’s the way it is on down, good
people want the State to spend more
money, for all sorts of things, some
good, some not so god, but all spon-
scored by good people who make a
great campaign to get all these things
sponsored by the State. That’s how it
is done. State Parks! What next!
THE BUN
Incident Serves To
Recall Days of Grid
Prov/ess at Newberry
Johnston Herald
Thirteen years ago a young stu
dent slipped into a football game at
the Newberry College stadium—slip
ped ;n we are to believe because he
didn’t have the price of a ticket.
Time moves on; the young man be
comes a minister and looking back to
square himself with the wwld recalls
the Newberry incident. Forthwith
he dispatched to President J. C. Kin-
ard 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 1925 Thanksgiving day foot
ball game—which I enjoyed through
the courtesy of a missing board in
your fence.
“Since those, my college days, my
sense 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 enclo
sure."

(BY LONNIE FRANKLIN)
Night Baseball for Textiles
Night baseball seems to be the
thing to make successful seasons and
the textile teams are now playing
nocturnal games before crowded
stands.
Crowds of 4,000 or better isn’t any
rarity at night around textile plants
and now the Central Carolina League
composed of teams in Greenwood,
Anderson, Laurens and Spartanburg
counties are getting ambitious with a
four game a week schedule and night
baseball.
Before many seasons night base
ball will be the rage as even now
small leagues find salvation in the
game.
The College Situation
Folks ask some funny questions and
still say they keep up with sports. A
number have asked why all this
frenzy about Newberry College ath
letics ?
Well, my answer is because New
berry College athletics are based on
a system that is twenty-years behind.
College athletics has in the past
ten years become one of the most
publicized systems in the country and

in those days of several years be
fore football, especially became so
highly commercialized, Newberry col
lege teams in football, baseball and
basketball spread terror and conster
nation in opposing camps among the
colleges of South Carolina by their
prowess and brilliant feats on the
gridiron, on the diamond and on the
hardwood floor, brilliant performan
ces that have not dimmed with the
passing* years and will not shed their
lustre for a long time yet to come.
In those brilliant years in college
athledcs in South Carolina. When
football, basketball and baseball wer e
athletic’s combat for the sport and
true spirit of it, it was not uncom
mon for the Newberry Indians to win
two State championships in a season
out of these three leading sports.

his swan song at Newberry College
to accept a better job after serving
seventeen years at his alma mater McLean and he was a fixture so no

fourths the fans paying their money
to see a contest they don’t even under

But the school that has the foot
ball team is the school that gets the
students as well as money from the
alumni and friends but the smaller
school when they have a winner fans
are prone to say “That’s Our Team”
but a loser “we need a coach” and at
many schools football pays the way.
Lots of small schools have jumped in
to national prominence on the cleated
hoofs of a football team. Remember
Centre College in the Kentucky hills
or Santa Clara and Saint Mary’s out
on the coast?
Where Newberry fell behind was a-
bout ten years ago most of the other
schools started a feeder system that is
one of rounding up good athletics and
having a number coming in each sea
son to replace those who go out and
the why and wherefore is bandied by
a group of alumni or friends in the

any college coach in South Carolina

In the winter when you are sitting
before the fire a coach has his crowd
out drilling rain or shine, the same in
summer weather.
The thing now is get behind New
berry College athletics and boost
them. Feel that they are as much
yours to brag over as any one else.
And go see them play. A world cham
pion team without a gallery would
eggers with a crowd cheering them on

RECIPE FOR CANNING
PECAN MEATS
Pecans have been very plentiful
this year and probably some of you
would like to can some for later use.
Put freshly cracked nut meats into
clean glass fruit jars. Put on rubber
ring and top but do not tighten the
tops. Place the jars in an ordinary
wash boiler or a vessel with a wood
en rack to keep the jars from contact
with the bottom. Use two or three
inches of water in the boiler—do not
use more than this. Bring the water
to a boil and boil for 15 to 20 minutes
with a lid on the vessel. Remove jars
quickly one at a time and tighten the
lids. Spring clamp jars are slightly
more satisfactory for this process.
It is better if these jars be stored in
dark place. The nuts will keep sweet
for several months. This cooking
time has been found more satisfac
tory than either a longer or a shorter
period.
