POPE OPENS OFFICE Thomas Pope, Jr., has opened a law ottice on tn e second tloor of the insurance Building (old National bank building) anu is now actively engaged in nis proiession. Mr. Pope stated to this writer that he would again be in the race lor the House, loung Pope’s many friends predict tor him a brilliant career both in his cnosen profession and in the political field. MODERN BUTTER CUTTER Jim Johnson has installed in his Newberry Creamery a modern butter cutter, tne only one, Jim says, this side of Tennessee. 'the machine cost about fl,000 and saves much labor besides cutting the butter in more accurate units. Butter comes out of the machine, is cut and passes on to the wrappers on a conveyor belt. The output of the creamery is now higher than in many yeaars. “Hard times," Mr. Johnson said, "causes farmers to bring in the cream to get a little spending money.” Jim has installed a good bit of modern machnery at the creamery in the past few years. He doesn’t believe in do ing at anything half-way except liv ing, and we believe he would remedy that if money could do it, but unfor tunately it takes more than money to attract the war-like sex. A few sessions under our tutelage would fix him up even at this lat e date, but he seems never to have time and we are afraid old Jim is going to continue down that lonesome road without a mate to share his vast riches and his dormant capacity to impart ectasy to some old gal pining away for a lethal dose. LIKES THE SUNSHINE Spied Kenneth Baker, dad of Ralph, Dick and Kenneth, Jr., sitting in a car in the hot sun Monday afternoon and invited him to share our slightly cooler sanctum. “No thanks” replied Mr. Baker “I’m perfectly comfort able.” He then told us that as men grow old they can wear heavy cloth ing and sit in the sun without dis comfort. The circulation, he explain ed slowed up with advancing age and additional heat was needed. Mr. Bak er talked interestingly on se/e -al top ics and seemed of the opinion that the only avenue out of our national con fusion was a return to the fundamen tals upon which the nation was erect ed. Government rental checks to the number of 1,848, totaling $92,048.77, have been received at the office of P. B. Ezell, county agent. Within the next week or ten days 600 more checks will arrive amounting to approxi mately $27,000. The checks range from $6 to $900. Card notices are being sent out as fast as the checks can be' tallied against office records and payees pro perly identified. Mr. Ezell has re quested that producers do not call at his office for checks until notice of the arrival of the check has been received by the producer. BAXTER REPORTS ON WEATHER OF MAY John Henry Baxter reporting on Newberry weather during May states that the highest temperature of the month was 97 degrees on the 22 and the lowest was 48 degrees on the 10th of the month, the range being 36 de grees. Rainfall for May amounted to 3.28 against the normal fail of 3.63, a snortage of .36. The heaviest rain fall for 24 hours was .81 on May 8. During the past month, seven days were clear, 14 partly cloudy, and 10 cloudy. Normal rainfall for the first five months of the year is 19.02. Falling under normal by a shortage of 6.21, Newberry has 13.81 inches of rain. The terrific downpour of last Thursday afternoon, June 2, amounted to 1.84 inches. ENTERTAINMENT WILL BE GIVEN AT MUNICIPAL POOL A program of entertainment to which the public is cordially invited will be given at the Margaret Hunter swimming pool Friday evening at eight o’clock, according to Manager Otho Williams. The program will consist of a comedy skit, relays, and swimming and diving exhibits. Manager Williams also announces that’the barbecue pit has been cover ed with a shed and lighted for night use. Parties may use the pit free of charge. BASHES NOSE OF NEGRO WHO KILLED HIS WIFE HARE WELL RECEIVED “I have never known the announce ment of anyone to be as favorably received as that of Butler Hare,” said a Newberry man of wide poli tical experience, th e other day. “I travel pretty widely over the county,” he continued, “and I find strong sup port for him in every section—even back deep in the bushes I find he is being talked.” The warm reception of Mr. Hare’s candidacy may be at tributed to the fact that he is well known in the county, and of course where he is known he is liked. GOOD SAMARITAN Policeman Forest Krell came into the Wiseman hotel Wednesday morn ing followed by a young woman and two small children. He explained to Ellerbe Pelham that Miss Leightsey at the health office instructed him to secure a ticket to Greenville for the young mother and her children. El lerbe complied and Mr. Krell handed the woman the ticket and wished her good luck. Forest seemed anxious to do all he could to help the unfor tunate woman and her small child ren. Their worldly possessions were contained in two paper bags, and kind hearted cops had arranged a bed for them the night before. They left on the 1:17 bus for Greenville and thus was terminated another case of which the cops handle many but of which the public knows nothing. Chicago, June 7.—Elmer Johnson, slender city fireman whose wife was killed in a savage attack, was called to th e witness stand at the inquest into her death today. Two hundred spectators lapsed in to an expectant hush. Robert Nixon, stolid negro, accused of slaying Mrs. Johnson, three other women and a young girl in brutal as saults, lounged in a chair near the front of the crowded room in the county morgue. Johnson, grim but calm, stepped forward. Suddenly h e lunged at the negro. He whipped a smashing left hook to the prisoner’s nose. The men in the throng started from their chairs and cheered. Women shrieked. Nixon, aroused, his upper lip glistening with blood, leaped to ward Johnson. But 20 policemen se- perated the combatants and quieted the crowd. Brick Crushed Skull While Johnson was led from the chamber, Earl Hicks, another negro, told the coroner’s jury he accompan ied Nixon to the Johnson’s apartment at dawn on May 27- He told how they crept through a window. He testified h e saw Nixon crush the skull of Mrs. Florence Johnson, mother of two children, with a brick. REPORTED FAIR The condition of Clarence F. Wertz who is a patient at the Newberry County hospital is reported “fair.” STRAIGHT SALE Elsewhere in this issue will be found an advertisement of Clemson Wilson offering some cows for sale. Clemson says h e is interested only in a straight sale, this in case the coro ner rushes over with a truck full of his goats for a swap. JIM’S CHILLUN All of Jim Johnson’s children had to go on relief. Gene Spearman took his mule and left him flat. The youngest one, 47, will make a good WPA man as h e holds the county re cord for breaking hoe handles lean ing on them. REASON WILL FIND A WAY “If Mr. Kendall were to give me the privilege of picking men to head the mill at Mollohon I would not make a single change,” said one of the head men of the union Wednes day. He continued by saying that Todd, Tedford and the rest of them could not be beat, and also had a good word for their wives. Good feelings generally existed between workers and management, he said. With such conditions existing it is reasonable to expect a speedy solu tion of the differences between the workers and management. One each of the honorary degrees of Doctor of Divinity, Doctor of Laws, and Doctor of Literature; 44 degrees of Bachelor of Arts; and one degree of Bachelor of Science were awarded Tuesday morning at the 81st com mencement exercises of Newberry College. The exercises were held in the Col lege gymnasium with Dr. W. D. Hooper, A. M., Litt. D., of the Uni versity of Georgia, delivering the main address. The Newberry College singers, under the direction of Pro fessor Paul Ensrud, rendered two numbers and the awarding of honors was made by President J. C. Kinard. The following medals were given: Claude Wilson Harmon of Winnsboro was awarded a medal by the Ameri can Legion Auxiliary of Post 24 in memory of Dr. George B.

Clarkson. The county delegation tnis year created two offices out of tne clerk-attorney ship. t he clerk place carries a salary ox $60d per year and the attorney $400. Mr. Clarkson was paid $110u lor the combined job. The new men take office July first, according to terms of the act creating the offices. J. L. Welling ana Henry T. Can non were employed by the delegation to make the audit for the fiscal year ending July first. In employing auditors tne delegation is acting un der legislation passed this year giv ing them this authority. Heretofore the auditors have been employed by tne county board of commissioners. ipeanng before the delegation at ilflNBonday meeting was a group rep- qnting workers of the now idle .Mollohon manufacturing company. They requested the cooperation of the delegation in speeding payments of money grants from funds appropriat ed by the recent legislature for un employed textile operatives. This money is being paid through the lo cal welfare agency and some pay ments have been made but on the whole the group thought more speed should be used in pushing them nrough. Families at Mollohon may draw the top of $20 dollars per month allotments being made on the size of families and the degree of their need. A delegation representing the ath letic asociation of Newberry college was also closeted with the delegation at its Monday meeting. From this group the solons heard a request for support to light the athletic field. The delegation was told that in order to secure federal aid" it would be nec essary for the county or city, or the two jointly, to take deed to the prop erty. Some financial aid to supple ment funds of the association to match federal grants, wouldjUso be neces- All members of‘'the delegotion were present at the meeting which adjourn- about one o’clock. MISS JONES GIVEN BEAUTIFUL SHOWER Mrs. D. B. Chandler and her two daughters, Mrs. T. H. Roper (Mary Chandler) and Mrs. F. B. Collins (Elizabeth Chandler), both of Colum bia, entertained at the home of Mrs. Chandler on Drayton street Wednes day evening at eight o’clock with a miscellaneous shower in honor of Miss Mary Frances Jones, July bride- elect. The hostesses invited th e guests into the living room which was dec orated with shasta daisies, Queen Anne’s lace, and fever-few. Tall yellow tapers burned in silver candle holders. The bride-elect’s chair was marked with tulle and a daisy chain leading to the gifts which were bank ed on the mantle and concealed with tall baskets of daisies and Queen Anne’s lace. In the dining room of the home, similar bowls of flowers to those in the living room were used. The table was covered with a lace cloth, and the centerpiece was a large silver bowl of white flowers used on a re flector. • Contests carrying out the daisy theme were participated in by the guests. Mrs. R. F. Nichols was the winner of the prize which she pre sented to the honoree. Mrs. Neal Workman played the piano softly during th e evening. At the appointed time, little Fran ces Chandler Collins, infant son of Mrs. Collins, presented the honoree with an, old-fashioned nosegay of daisies and fern with a note telling her to follow the daisy chain that led to her gifts. Miss Jones was the recipient of many beautiful and use ful gifts. Miss Mildred Lominick, another bride-elect, was remembered by the hostesses with a gift. Blocked cream in yellow and white and iced cakes embossed with daisies were served after the party. The favors were shasta daisies tied with yellow ribbon. J. F.

Miss Lena Warner and one brother, Bennett Dawkins, Prosperi ty; one sister, Mrs. T. B. Bedenbaugh, Prosperity, and the following child ren: Miss Helen Dawkins and Miss Rebecca Dawkins, Columbia; one son, Fely Dawkins, Greenville. WPA Approves . The WPA project of constructing a municipal ahtletic stadium at New berry college has been approved, ac cording to announcement made by President J. C. Kinard at the College commencement Tuesday morning and by John Clarkson, Alumni Association president, at the Tuesday luncheon. The $27,600 project will include the construction of a new athletic field on College street and the erection of stands for both the old and new fields. The grounds will also be lighted and fenced in, and the College gymnasium will be remodeled. The telegram bearing the news of WPA approval which was sent to Young M. Brown by John C. Taylor reads as follows: “Please to advise WPA has approved construction of municipal athletic stadium at cost of $16,508 at Newberry. After the comptroller general gives routine ap proval to this it will be forwarded to state administrator who will start work as soon as funds and labor are available. This approval will be of general public interest in Newberry.” Boy’s Body Found The dead body of Jimmy Cash, 5 year old boy of Princeton, Flo rida, was found in a swamp near his home early Thursday morn ing. Frank Pierce McCall, 21- year old son of a minister of the community admitted writing the ransom notes and directed the G- men to the swamp where the body was found. Officers are holding four other men but the sheriff of Princeton said th e job was the work of one man. The kidnapping of young Cash led to the greatest man hunt in the history of the nation. Presi dent Roosevelt last Tuesday re quested congress to approprite $50,000 to be used in solving the case. There seems to be some little dif ference as to the exact wage scale of the WPA for the various states. Congressman McClellan, of Arkansas, who by the way is a Democrat, gives the following: Arkansas $26.40 South Carolina $26.22 Kentucky $25.60 Mississippi $24.32 North Carolina $23.90 New York City $73.23 New York Stare $60.90 Ohio $65.46 Pennsylvania $69.97 Connecticut $64.33 Illinois $64.20 We don’t seem to count so much, do we? Why should our Government, in combatting a Depression, dis criminate so enormously among its citizens? A full-bloded Am erican of deep-rooted American ancestry, receives $26.22 per month, if he lives in Charleston, Greenville, Newberry, Columbia, Orangeburg, North Providence, Crocketville, Furnfan, Graham- ville, Fair Play, Santuc, Aynor, or Tlrzah, but a man lately ariv- ed from Russia or Alabama—and now living in New York City, is paid $72.23. We should think all Americans equal before the law; at any rate it does not sit well to find men not American Citi zens receiving three times as much from our Government as native sons. Says the Charlotte Observer: “The South is being dragged over the rocks and thistles, helplessly straped to the tail of the chariot. Pennsylvania, whose popultion was 9,631,000 in the last census, received more WPA money than the eleven Southern States of Al abama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia combined with their aggregate population of 28,761,000 in the same census. The official figures 760,000 for the eleven Southern States. Almost the same ratio holds good for the nine months of this fiscal year, Pennsylvania having received almost as much as th e eleven Southern States.” I do not mean to be flippant, but what is the value of a high wage- scale if in time of trouble you must get more pork out of the public bar rel? If these pious schemes to ele vate our condition are sincere why not give us at least as much as the negroes of the north? Or, since we have been neglected so long why not give us more so we might catch up, with the very advanced New York City Harlemites, just recently trans ported from the swamps of Mississ ippi? The conclusion is painful to me, but we Southern Democrats have sold out. SMALL BOT DIES TUESDAY AT HOSPITAL Daniel Haskell Lindler, 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Lindler of th e lower part of the county died Tuesday at the local hospital after a brief illness. Funeral services were held at 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon at St. Peter’s (Piney Woods) Lutheran church, conducted by the Rev. J. S. Wessinger, assisted by the Rev. V. L. Fulmer. Burial was in the church cemetery. Besides his parents, he is survived by two brothers and two sisters, Earl, Johnnie, Mary Ellen, and Rebecca Lindler.

Jurors For June Term The extent to which the machine is displacing man-power was demon- stratea in a HMJ acre field of grain Monday as this writer watchea, at tne invuation of Supervisor Butt, tracior-poweieu coiuuuie at work on tue county nome zarm. rue uig machine, moving along at a rapiu cup, anu mannea by ’ two operators took great bites of the goiuen gram, sucked it into its maw, beat tne grain ciean and sent the straw anu nusas sailing from a ro tating ran on the opposite side. A single man stood on the machine as it moveu over the tield and supplied it witu sacks into which the gram poured. Atop the combine was a large elec tric spot light and the supervisor ex- piaineu that the machine would con tinue until far into the night—in tact until the dew zeil and the grain be came too wet to work. Mucn of tne luu acre field is in wheat but it will be some time be- Zore those at the county home will have to can on tne new crop. Mr. rom. Adams, keeper at the home and manager of the zarm, took us to his store house where ne has more thpn 3o oaneis oZ hour from last year’s crop stored. rile county home presented a pic ture of contentment. Under the shade of the trees the male inmates sprawled about dozing while the old women occupied themselves in conver sation and other pastime—one of them feeding and fondling three small puppies. Mr. Adams explain ed that ne brought a small fox terrier wnen he moved to the county home which promptly took up with the old woman ana refused to leave her. r nese old people do absolutely nothing except sit, eat and sleep. Mr. Adams confided that a few of the maie contingent were the devil’s own to satisfy. He explained that they were given three to four different vegetables and meats at each meal and yet they griped, but Mr. Adams gets his satisfaction from the fact mat man is most ornery when very young or very ” doing his best for Evidence that the old folks, as well as the gang are well fed is to be seen on every hand—big flocks of chick ens, 40 or 50 fine hogs and a heard of 21 cows, plus an abundance of flour, a nice orchard and vegetable garden. Everything is spick and span about the county home premises and while much of this is due to Mr. Adams, we suspect he has the full backing of the supervisor as “the home” seems to be sort of a hobby, with Mr. Ruff. A water system installed some time back has been a boon and while the appropriation for this purpose was not sufficient to put running water in all the cottages, convenient taps have been installed in the yard. All the cottages appear to be well- kept and in excellent repair. The new shop and garage, built entirely with county labor, are excellent buildings and the shop is well and conveniently arranged. In the shop building Is toilet and trash room, parts storage room, and office besides the large room where repair work is done. Mr. Ruff is well pleased with having the repair shops f t the county home. More work is don e here he explained be cause there is less distraction than when the shops were located in the city. On a small branch below the shops is located the plant for making con crete pipe for culverts and much of this material is on hand ready to be installed as needed. Every taxpayer, regardless of his political complexion, should visit the county home. No unbiased mind but will concede that here a good job has been done and we are told that all this is carried on, including food foy the gang, coffins for pauperers at the rate of about 50 each year, medicine for the old folks and so on, at a net cost to the county of only about $1000 per year. In other words Newber ry’s indigents are cared for at a cost of about $60 a year. If we have failed to spot the two commissioners in this narrative it is not from oversight but rather from convenience. All that has been said can be said of them. It ie a joint re sponsibility, and if this be praise that too is joint. The Jun e term of criminal court convenes here on the 20th with Judge C. C. Featherstone presiding.

He used as his suoject, “The College Graduate and Democracy. Miss Mayme Swittenberg has been tne efficient principal oz the Little Mountain high school for several years and sue has done a fine work zor the educational interest of that community. Much to the regret of tne pupils and ‘patrons of this school, sne has declined the offer to return. She has accepted the principalship of the Prosperity high school and will teacn there the coming session. She has been very successful as a high school principal and the people of Prosperity are to be congratulated on securing her services. Just as soon as it was definitely settled that Prof. S- J. Derrick was to be the president of Newberry Col lege, that institution loomed up larg er in the estimation of citizens here. For instance, Mr. Julius J. Langford sought Professor Derrick to tell him that he would be one of a number to give $100 towards the liquidation of the college debt. Mr. Geb. C. Hipp “seconded the motion.” Three cheers for these two. Mr. Langford started this good ball to rolling; we hope the balance will fall in. If the roads could just be now it would help so much in them in some sort of shape For th e first time in the history of Newberry College there is to be no interregnum in the presidency of the college on account of the resig nation of the president. As Dr. Harms retires after delivering the diplomas to the graduates, the new president. Prof. S. J. Derrick as sumes charge. Heretofore upon the resignation or death of the presi dent there has been some time be fore his successor was chosen. It is well for the college that the machin ery may move right along smoothly. The quota for Newberry county In the second Red Cross fund was $13,- 000. The result of the campaign is follows: Total subscriptions to date, $22,142.00. Total number of subscribers, 4,648. The record of Newberry county in war service is one of which all patriotic citizens may be proud. It is of the utmost importance not only that we con tinue to give freely and liberally, but that we cultivate the will to sacrifice, without which we cannot win the war. Geo. B. Cromer, Cbm.
