THE ED. REMEMBERED
Occasionally our hopes are revived
that the fine old custom of bringing
things to the editor will become fash
ionable again. Saturday we were
presented with two boxes of fine
strawberries from our loyal friend
Clarence Metts of the Jolly Street
section.
NOT SO FAR TO FALL
“I was impressed by what a caller
said to me- “In hard times,” he
commented, “the South does not suf
fer as much as other regions.” I
believe that is true, for you are clos
er to the soil, closer to simplicity. A
fall is painful in proportion to the
height from which one tumbles. If
you cannot fall so far as some other
people, neither can you suffer such
a terrific bump when you land. This
may be a strange sort of advantage,
but in eras of confusion it may be a
quite definite advantage.—Editor

GOATOLOGY
Coroner Wilson has bought him
self a goat! Bought her for a two
fold purpose—to give him milk and
keep down the rag weeds in his back
yard.
The old goat never gets a break;
feed him tin cans and old shoes and
expect good, wholesome milk. The
goat doesn’t mind howqver, he’s a
philosopher—he’ knows hfe’s accursed
of all cattle so he takes it on the
chin and goes his way uncomplain
ing.
Some of these days we are going to
acquire a wise old goat for a fiahing
companion ana on lazy summer days
we intend to have long sessions with
him down on the banks of Murray.
He will act as a pillow as well as
companion-philosopher while we co
in une with him and watch the corks
dance in the tiny ripples of a seclud
ed cove.
We would find out from him what
the world was like way back yonder
when Moses handed him the accumu
lated sins of all the Jews. We want
to know how his several times great
grandpappy felt when he was drag
ged into the midst of the priestly dig
nitaries to have pronounced on him
the Great Curse. Is the thunderous
words of Old Aaron—“and the goat
shall bear upon him all their iniqui
ties into a land not inhabited.”—still
ringing in the ears of present day
goatdoifi? tVhjit did he do to merit
such treatment? Was he even then
eating the Jewish tinware, or did he
chew a hole in the ark?
Being in the sin-bearing business
he ought to have the low-down on
that ancient argument about Johna
and the whale. We want to find out
for onc e and all whether Johna
— swallowed or was swallowed. He’d
have no reason to lie to us; his place
in society is fixed—he’s a damn goat
and he can’t live it down. If he
were a man he could lie out of it or
“explain” it.
Then we want to question him a bit
about Old Solomon. We would like
the secret of how this old boy manag
ed all that female dynamite and yet
kept a whole hide and a disposition
which enabled him to write beautiful
poems about them.
Mayhaps under his wooly hide lies
dormant the boon of all male kind—
the secret of the last word—the
Mickey Finn of Making Her Mind.
Upon this subject well dally not nor
defer the hour—well pump him dry
for the secret to sweeten the tail end
of our domesticity. Failing well just
lie there, our weary head upon the
old goat, and gaze into the heavens
and wonder what it would be like to
be an angel, for following this we
have a feeling well soon know.
P. S.—If we report further on our
goat youll know we survived the
carnage even if you never learn the
horrid details. But if you detect a
limp in the style just put it down we
are coming tq you from a wheel
chair through the courtesy of one
who just can’t bear to see anything
die but gets a big kick out of seeing
the top of your head go under the
second time.
Work Under Way
On Power Project
Greenwood, April 24.—Prelimin
ary construction work on the Buz
zard Roost power project is sche
duled to begin tomorrow morning
with about 20 laborers clearing the
area of the dam of trees and stumps,
according to plans announced by
the contractors.
Representatives of E. W. Grannis
and Lee Construstion company,
whose bid of $509,686.75 was the
lowest submitted to the Greenwood
county finance board March 22,
spent several days at the site of the
project last week arranging for the
preliminaries for building the dam,
powerhouse and spillway.
Chief engineer Dan T. Duncan
said a steam shovel already has been
set up and the contractors have
completed arrangements for build
ing a bridge across Saluda river a
short distance below the dam. A-
bout 12 acres of land on the Green
wood county side of the river will
be cleared. It is expected that the
working force will be increased to
40 men the second week and will
be added to as the progresses.
The total number estimated to be
employed before the project is com
pleted is 1,000 to 1500.
Mr. Duncan said the contractors
nad been formally notified of the ac
ceptance of the contract and Tues
day of last week set as the date for
the beginning of operations. The
work is to be completed in 365 cal
endar days, which means that the
dam, power house and spillway will
oe finished April 19, 1939.
Meanwhile the Duncan engineer
ing force has occupied an office build
ing recently erected near the site of
tne power house and PWA Inspector
Cannon has arrived to be there con
tinuously during the construction op
erations.

EASTER SEAL SALE
AMOUNTS TO $200
Farmers To Be Paid
May 25th
M. L. Wilson, acting secretary of
agriculture, has advised Senator E.
D. Smith that practically all pay
ments to farmers in South Carolina in
connection with the 1937 agricultural
conservation program will be made
by May 25.
Wilson said that the state office at
Columbia has already received from
the county offices approximately 4,-
000 applications for payments in
connection with the 1937 program,
and on April 5 began scheduling ap
proved applications for payment to
the field general accounting office at
Columbia.
Senator Smith has asked Secre-
tery Wallace to issue regulations
which would permit cotton farmers
to receive subsidy or cotton price
adjustment payments immediately
after planting their 1938 crop, and in
so doing release $130,000,000 in the
cotton belt at a time when money is
scarce.
In answer to Smith’s request,
Acting Secretary Wilson said: “As
you know, the measure of compliance
required for purposes of the 1987
cotton price adjustment payments, as
set forth in section 381 (a) of the
agricultural adjustment act of 1938,
is that the producer must not know
ingly plant cotton in 1938 on a
acreage in excess of his farm acreage
allotment for 1938. In view of this
requirement, payment cannot be
made to’a particuliar producer who is
engaged in cotton production in 1938
intil such compliance has been de
termined. We are interested in seeing
the price adjustment payments go
forward to producers at the earliest
possible time. For the purpose of de
termining the compliance referred to
above, the acreage planted to cotton
may be checked shortly after the
season in which cotton could be
planted with the expectancy of mak
ing a crop. The present plans con
template that these payments will be
made as soon as practicable follow
ing the planting season.”
DOWN MEMORY
LANE
20 YEARS AGO
Who will be the next president of
Newberry College is an interesting
and important question. In answer
to this question the other day some
one said: “Professor Derrick.” We
wish the gentleman were a member
of the Board of Trustees and each
member were of the same mind. It
would please the people of Newberry
mighty well to have Professor S. J.
Derrick President of the college.
President Wilson has received
strong intimations from Great Bri
tain within the last 48 hours that the
suggested addition of 1,500,000 to the
existing army of 2,000,000 will not
meet the demands for men in France.
This means that the schedules worked
out by the War Department will be
further expanded if ships to trans
port the soldiers can be obtained. The
president is giving th e matter his
personal attention and instead of re
senting the “plain talk” from abroad
today sent out a new order to comb
the seas for ocean transportation.
The Newberry Cotton Mill made
another advance of ton percent in the
wages of the operatives Monday.
The base ball season is on full
blast. Newberry’s team gathered
this year almost wholly from new ma
terial is surprising its friends by the
speed with which it has worked up
into the higher playing circles of the
state. “Nig” Epting has coached the
Indians into fine form.

More than $200 has come in on the
Easter sale of Crippled Children
seals, according to a report made by
Treasurer Z. F. Wright. Many have
not, as yet, turned in their dollars
but it is hoped that everyone who re
ceived seals will report as soon as
convenient,
Mrs. Walter Hunt, chairman of the
Newberry County chapter of the
Crippled Children Association, told
a reporter of the Sur that the New
berry chapter was very happy over
an investment of $40.50 which they
had just paid a specialist, who has
performed a marvelous operation on
the knee of a young girl in a distant
section of the county. Although this
girl is not up yet,, she has been re
moved from the almost hopeless class
to that of an able bodied person, for
the chances look good for a complete
recovery and use of a helpless knee.
Furthermore, Mrs. Hunt states
that the Newberry chapter stands
ready at all times to help crippled
children, irrespective of their resi
dence or color. Application for as
sistance will be cheerfully investi
gated and they should be made to
Mrs. Hunt or to Miss Theressa
Leightsey at the county health unit.
Of all the money raised through
the sale of seals 1-4 of it goes to the
National Association for work all
over the United States; 1-4 goes for
work in this state, maintaining of
clinics and salaries of several well
known orthopedic surgeons. One-
half of the money remains in this
county for local work, under the
supervision of the county committee.
In case more funds are needed for
local work than has been raised, the
local chapter can call on the state for
assistance.
