OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE WHAT’S THE BIG IDEA? The decision of the County Board of Commissioners (the supervisor and the two commissioners) to put t the office of Superintendent of EdU' cation in the attic at the court house is the most absurd move we ever heard of. We se e In this move an act of attempted revenge for hay ing to move the office of the Commis' sion to the court house. .The Super visor and the commissioners had just as well realize that they are subject to the laws passed by the delegation and take i( in good grace. The changes in the office locations was not even discussed with the officers involved; the move was arbitrary and high handed and a plain case of peeve. This newspaper has been fighting against becoming involved in certain underground stuff which is going on, but we will not always strive against what seems to be our duty to the people of the county. We freely admit that we have in past months allowed our loyalty to friends curb us somewhat, but we are serv- iftg notice here and now that a few more acts such as the above and the floodgates will be opened and we be lieve we know a few things John Public would frown upon.

We never get mentally or physically out of joint to the extent that we cannot relate a good fish story however and we saw two which came out of the Lake Monday well worth mentioning.

Wicker and family NOTES OF JOLLY STREET BALL CLUB BARBECUE JULY 2nd Butchered nine hogs; all meat and hash was exhausted before night. Many comments on the cue, some said the best ever ate, some must think so; for example. County Supt. of Education and other parties of Greenwood ate dinner and carried back a large amount of pork. A representative of Pageland' was here for the day bought 6% lbs of pork and a large amount of hash, this party went to North Carolina for the week-end visiting relatives, so some of the North CaroHnians have a taste. Representative from Pomaria and Columbia bought 4% to 5 pounds of meat. A true and faithful friend of the ball club bought a whole hog. Many bottled drinks and a quantity of Ice cream was sold throughout the day. A nice sum was raised for the ball club which the club appreciated very highly. After a successful ’cue, the day closed in a winning wav as Jolly Street ball club beat Mollohon in an Boozer showed the large crowd some nice pitching as caused 15 Mollohon batters to miss the third strike.

Washington, July 6.—Further indi cation that President Roosevelt will adopt a hands-off policy* in regard to the South Carolina primary developed at the White House press conference this afternoon when the chief execu tive said he had no plans for stopping in the Palmetto state on his return to Washington from his western tour. After being reminded that stories had been published that he would speak in South Carolina, Mr. Roose velt was asked when and where he (would deliver his address. In re ply the president said he did not know if he would even stop in the state.. He added that he had not yet planned his trip that far. . Instead of landing at Charleston on his return from the cruise which will take him along the Pacific coast and through the Panama canal, the president said his ship would put in at Pensacola, Fla. This was re garded as significant in that he in tended to speak in South Carqliua landing at Charleston would better serve his purpose. From Pensacola Mr. Roosevelt will go to Warm Springs, arriving there early one morning and leaving late in the af ternoon for Washington. This would bring his train through South Caro lina at night. Mrs. A. E. Culp and son, Julius, of Gastonia, N. C., are visiting Mrs. Culp’s brother, Theo Albrecht and Mrs. Albrecht on Johnstone street.

S. BUSINESS OUT New York, July 3.—Booming for the second week in the fastest moving bull market since 1933, stocks have filled the suddenly-changed Wall Street atmosphere with hope the up swing may be leading business out of its year-long recession. The Pace of the rise slowed down last week but trading was the heav iest since the tail-end of the au tumn gains of $2 to fl6. The Asso ciated Press composite price of sixty stocks advanced $2,90 to $48.80. highest since November 13, on top of the previous week’s grain of $6.80. In two weeks the average has risen about 26 per cent. Many important shares soared $6 to $26 on building, motor, chemical, copper, farm imple ment and electricaly equipment groups. Hints industry may be on the way up also multiplied. Revival of for ward buying in raw materials used in manufacturing industries lifted prices of rubber, cotton, copper, hides, zinc, wool and silk. Wholesale tex tile markets continued to have the most active business since March 1937. Many millions of yards of cot ton cloth for forward delivery were put on mill books, either to clear shelves or unsold goods or to be turn ed out in new productin. LOGAN FLATLY PREDICTS 3rd TERM IS OUT Washington, July 6.—Reports that Vice President Gamer has told friends he will not be a candidate for a third term in his present office set members of congress to speculating today on his attitude toward heading the 1940 Democratic ticket. Senator Logan (Democrat, Ken tucky) said that if Garner should seek the presidential nomonation he would “have much support” and he “mighty ‘hard to beat.” ■Logan predicted flatly that neith er Gamer nor President Roosevelt would be third term candidates. “I have not Hie slightest doubt in my mind that they v-ill not seek third terms”, the Kentucky senator said. He added, however, that he had not discussed 1940 candidacies with either. “I do not believe In third terms,” :L>ogan said. “I have always advo cated a single tfem of six years for the presidency.” Logan’s opinions attracted atten tion because he is regarded as one of the administration’s loyal back ers. As a member of the senate ; judiciary committee he advocated the president’s court re-organizatioin rogram which was pigeon-holed |y the senate. Senator Sheppard (Democrat, Tex as), who has been serving in congress with Vice President Garner since lj903, expressed interest in the assert ed decision of his fellow Texan not to seek a third jerm, but said he had do knowledge of Gamer’s attitude.

Jury of Newberry County desire to make a supplemental report to the people of Newberry County. W e have carefullv examined the following lists of claims Ncs. 1185, 870 1003, 1117, 1302, 509, and 649 which was handed to the Grand Jury jjy a member of the Board of Com missioners of Newberry County and we have found that the claims criti cized have been properly signed and properly paid. We wish to state that we have, investigated each claim and wish to report that any criticism whatsoever is without grounds. We wish to report that we have ex amined the records in the office of the Board of Commissioners, and find that same are kept in a most satisfactory and efficient mnner. We desire also to report that we hav' e investigated the complaints mede on the former County Treasurer in regard to depositing money with the Newberry Federal Savings and Loan Association. We are informed and be lieve that the time such deposits were made, the County Treasurer had con siderable money in excess of the col lateral offered by the local bank and that it was for the best interest of Newberry County that four accounts be carried with the Newberry Federal Savings and Loan Association not ex ceeding $5,000.00 each. W e wish to report that these accounts were autho rized under Act No. $13 of the Acts of South Carolina for the year 1936, which provides in part as follows: “Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina: That it shall be lawful for the Sate of South Carolina and any of its departments, institutions and agencies, any politi cal sub-division or sub-divisions of the State, and District thereof and county lub-division there- Haile Replies To Grand Jury Report therein or political si of and any cities, towns ties therein, or any poli rations of ‘ State*—: municipali- al or public or of the „ their funds moneys in their custody or pos session eligible for investment in the shares of any Federal Savings and Loan Association” etc. We find also that each of the four deposits of $5,000.00 each were cover ed by insurance, and that they were left in the Newberry Federal Savings and Loan Association until the pre sent Treasurer assumed office, in or der that the County might collect the sum of $400.00 interest accrued there on and that all of said deposits, to gether with accrued interest, were paid to th e present Treasurer on July 1st, 1937. We further wish to commend John F. Clarkson, Newberry County At torney, for his energetic efforts in having the foresight to have the Coun ty of Newberry to file and keep in good standing its P. W. A tion for building of County result of which the County of New berry will receive a direct grant of $92,464.00. Respectfully Submitted F. T.

TO THE PEOPLE OF NEWBERRY COUNTY: As I am the commissioner mention ed in the report of the grand jury is sued July 1st, 1938, I wish to take thie means of explaining my position, granting at the same time, and I like to believe th e honest intentions of the grand jury. It is simply a matter of a difference of opinion and I wish to present my side of the matter. In checking claims presented to the Board of Commissioners and my du ties thereto, let me say that I do not pose a» an expert in clerical matters, but upon studying the quarterly re ports from January 1 to July 1, 1937, I noticed a difference in the sub-totals as between an official audit made for the period of six months ending July 1, 1937. This prompted me from a sense of duty to inquire into the reason for the difference when the two should have been balanced. I will not ask space to go into details relative to several claims which I still do not think entirely in order. However, as an illustration let me cite th e follow ing for the taxpayer’s study and con sideration : In searching the records I came up on a warrant (which I had signed) calling for « Buzzer system billed to THE CLERK OF COURT. This war rant was covered by Claim No. 549, paid by the county Treasurer .in the amount of $55.74. I was led to be lieve this equipment was for .the County Court House. However upon obtaining & copy of the invoice found that the Seastrunk Electric company, of Columbia, S. C., had actually billed this system to John F. Clarkson, Clerk, Newberry, S. C., and that it had been paid for out of county funds. I have never said that this claim was not “regularly approved” for it was. I signed it with complete confidence that the system was to be used by the county. As stated above this system was not installed in the court house hut in the office of our former Clerk and At torney, Mr. John F. Clarkson, and he so admitted in the presence of the county delegation and the Board of Commissioners. On Saturday morning, July 2nd, I went to the office of the County Board of Commissioners in Mr. Clarkson’s office and asked to see the claims con sidered by the grand jury in order to refresh my memory and make my de fense. I WAS FLATLY REFUSED THIS PERMISSION by Mr. Clarkson, although I am a duly elected member of the Board of Commissioners and this permission has never before been refused me. Although I was denied inspection of the claims in order to present my side of the matter, I do recall that the claims making up the difference in the totals referred to in the first paragraph WERE NEVER PUB LISHED in the quarterly reports and that among those claims was one is sued to John F. Clarkson for $400 and charged against the road main tenance fund. Although I knew ab solutely nothing about this claim un til long after it was approved and paid It can be said that this claim was also “properly approved” for it need ed only two signatures to be properly approved. Upon examination of this claim (it was among those never pub lished) I found that this amount was to defray expenses of a trip to Wash ington and perhaps New York in con nection with road matters. I leave this to you with a simple question. Do you think $400 necessary for a trip of a few days to Washington? I demanded, IN THE PRESENCE OF THE COUNTY DELEGATION (and th e btw so requires) that these omitted claims be published but my request was ignored and they have never been published. Why were these claims withheld from publica tion and all others published? In fairness to all concerned let me say that Mr. Clarkson’s explanation of why he had caused the Buzzer sys tem to be installed in his office at the expense of the county was that he had charged the Board of Commission ers no rent and thought it would be all right to install the system in view oY that. By the same token anyone doing he county a favor would have the right to buy something and have it charged to the county. As a mat ter of fact, however, the office of the commission is located in Mr. Clark son’s office lor HIS convenience and not for the convenience of the public nor to save the county money; it should rightly be in the court house where it will be from now on. The matter of $66.74, or $400 for that matter will not bankrupt New berry county but enough of such items will and I would feel that I had done less than my duty had I ignored them, particularly in view of the fact that I have always said since assuming office that if I found what I consider ed wrong I would report it to the grand jury- I would also point out to the peo ple that it was largely upon informa tion that I furnished that the delega tion caused a change to be brought about in th e office of clerk and at- (continued on page 4) Between 1500 and 2000 people made merry at the Margaret Hunter park and playground last Fridy night, and in the proverbial expression “a good time was had by all.” Charming little Marion Davi a was crowned queen of the playground in recognition of the work of her father, the late Marion .Davis, toward provid ing the children of Newberry with S laces to play. She was crowned by layor Earhardt. As she sat on an improvised “throne” surrounded by attendants small boys and girls did her honor by dancing be fore her. In a semi-circle about the scene of th e coronation sat hundreds of people seemingly impressed by the colorful ceremony. Following the coronation ceremonies Mrs. J. H. Summer introduced Alan Johnstone who addressed the gather ing, expressing the hope that this event would be the fore-runner of many others like it in which the people could gather and enjoy them selves together. He also praised the Civic League and gave the organi- zatior credit for developing the play- grourd. Fr* e lemonade was served to all comers and barbecued suppers were available. A swimming contest furnished con siderable merriment, the participants all being local boys but many of them expert swimmers. Prizes to the value of $100 were distributed following the swimming contests. These were donated by the following business firms of the city: NINE STUDENTS RECEIVE WPA BUSINESS CERTIFICATES Certificates for the completion of the nin e months at the WPA Commer cial school were awarded to nine stu dents Wednesday morning at Cem- rtenement Exercises at the county court house.

Dominick, that Senator Tillman died at 9 o’clock Wednesday morning. From the reports in the morning papers the announcement was not unexpected. Senator Tillman had been in public office continously lor 28 years, the first office being that of governor which he held for four years from 1890 to 1894 when he succeeded Gen. M. C. Butler in the senate. Hi* is the longest srvice in the senate ever rendered by any man from South Carolina and at the time of his death there were only two other senators who had seen longer service in the senate. The funeral will be held this (Thursday) after noon at his home in Trenton. The recital Thursday evening by advanced and talented pupils ol Miss Rawl’s bright class was enjoyed by lovers of instrumental music. The piano solos were harmonious writh sweet sounds. All taking part did well. It was easy to see that the instruction had been careful and painstaking and that each player was an apt pupil. Miss Rose Hamm, Miss Maude Hamilton, and Fulmer Wells were the stars of the evening. and a time what looked like an old-time political knock-down and drag-out fight, writh k continuous uproar as a background.
