e who visit you all year around through these col
umns may pass this season partially unnoticed in favor of
kin and friends seen or heard from only at Christmas.
It is but fitting that loved ones gather with you upon
the day of Jesus' birth and that those far away who can
not come receive special remembrance. We can bear
your forgetting us for a little while for this cheer-laden
reason.
We wish to take advantage of the congregation of
your friends and- family members frdm other neighbor
hoods to extend, by them through you, a heaping measure
of yuletide good will to every nook and corner of America.
Our first interest is this community, but its welfare is
interlaced with the good of other communities. This city
and county have a just store of the Christian and humane
spirit that sustains man through daily life. They have
enough left over for export.
Think how many distant hearts you may fill with a
joyous holiday feeling if you give unto your Christmas
guests to carry back to their home towns this, our special
wish:

erendum committees who held
the polls in the 13 cotton grow
ing communities.
Meanwhile, reports from the

a whole is also favoring quotas
by a margin safely in excess
of the required two-thirds ma
jority. Complete unofficial
State returns show 47,043 votes
in favor of quotas and 3,324
opposed.

NEWBERRY GINNINGS FAR
ABOVER STATE AVERAGE
Newberry county ginned 11,-
731 bales of cotton to Decem
ber first, Paul Ezell reports
from official figures. Mr. Ezell
says the final figure will be
12,000. This is only about
2,000 bales short of last year
and is far above the state aver
age. Probably no other coun
ty in the State had such a yield
and many of them made only
half a crop. Modern farm
practices carried out over the
years, including terracing and
heavy liming, Mr. Ezell thinks,
accounts for Newberry’s fine
yield.
