THE SUN PAGE FOUR Sty* S’tm Newberry, S. C. 0. F. ARMFIELD Editor and Publisher Subscription Rates: One Year $1.00 Six Months 50 Published Every Friday Communications of Interest are in vited. The Open Forum is open to all. DOCTOR HENTZ An amiable gentleman and physi cian of the old school passed the way of all flesh in the death of Doctor Hentz h^re Friday. Doctor Hentz was a familiar as well as popular figure around the Gilder and Weeks drug store. He was of jovial nature and a good conversationalist. He contin ued to practice until recent weeks when he became confined to his home. His medical career covered a long span of years and many families look ed to him until the end. The good doctor rests from long years of ministering to the ailing. May his sleep be not disturbed until the ingathering of those who stored up somthing for a “draw” against the final day. APPEARS QUIXOTIC, SAYS BILL From Bill Lewis, Whitmire banker and humorist, comes the following: It has been my intention to say “Hail” to The Sun ere now, but it seems that I’m always several days behind with the things I, must do, weeks behind with the things I should do, and years behind with the things I really want to do. From the, for me, artificial and hardly aquired viewpoint of a banker, I must confess the venture appears a bit Quixotic, but by golly, speaking for Bill Lewis, individually, I admire you for it and rather envy you for be ing in a position to “tilt with wind mills.” The country sorely needs men and newspapers “foolish” enough to say what they think without considera tion of expediency, but I’m damned if I believe it’s going to appreciate them. I may not agree with all you say but I’ll applaud your having what it takes to say it. May the Sun rise early, shine brightly, set never, illumine dark cor ners, purify dank swamps and make a good living besides.” THE SUN SOMETHING NEW UN DER THE SUN From The Saluda Standard. The other morning as we arrived in the office we found upon our desk in the usual batch of mail something new under the sun, a copy of the first issue of the Newberry Sun, South Carolina’s newest newspaper, published and edited by O. F. Arm- field, former publisher of the Saluda Standard and the Newberry Herald and News now merged with the New berry Observer. The new publica tion is an eight page, seven column weekly paper. It is a bright, newsy sheet of the high standard to be ex pected of an editor and publisher of the ability of Mr. Armfield. The bright and rising Sun, name sake of The Rising Sun, published in Newberry about the middle of the last century, is strictly a family af fair. All the work of making the paper is done by Mr. Armfield, Mrs. Armfield, their daughter, Miss Con stance, who makes the society page of the new publication an attractive feature and their son, Frank, who divides his time between operating the linotype and attending school. Mr. Armfield is publisher, editor and go-getter and Mrs. Armfield per forms the general run of office work. Such a combination is hard to beat, and the least we can say in this con nection is more power and best wishes to The Sun and to our staunch friends of long-standing who are making the paper a real asset to the community it serves. LANGFORD CONCERN INSTALLS MEZAN.NE Herman Langford has peeled the old garter from around his wallet and done a nice job of repairing his furniture store. Although the work is yet in progress enough has been done to reveal the finished job. A balcony extending about a third the length of the store building is the main addition. Stairs are conven iently arranged for access to this. The office has been moved to the ex treme left rear of the store, giving more space and light and allowing for better display of merchandise on that side of the building. The balcony of mezanine was built on a level with side balconies of the store the floors joining and being con tinuous. Bed room suites, kitchen and breakfast room furniture and many other items are displayed in the new addition. A cellar is being dug to house stove parts and miscellaneous fur nishings which do not call for dis play. Much of this merchandise will be moved from the top floor, giving room for better display there. The top floor is reached by a short flight of steps from the mezanine. Many electrical outlets have been installed at different points about the new ad dition to provide light as well as for demonstration of electrical goods. Mr. Langford also ha.' workmen busy finishing up his home on Boun dary street. Brick veneering has been completed and work on the in terior is progressing. St. Philips News CHURCH NOTES I was glad to learn there was a fine attendance at the Light Brigade Saturday afternoon. It was reported the largest crowd in the past year. I understand also the Sunday school made an improvement Sunday morn ing. This is a great interest that parents are taking. If they will just keep it up, more will soon fall in line. Your pastor also needs encourage ment. How must you do this? By giving him a good attendance and at tention. On Sunday night pastor Keisler had prepared an excellent sermon but the attendance wi.s not as great as it should have been. Don’t have him to waste all these good sermons by not having a good attendance. You find time to go to dances, and prize fights, but isn’t your soul worth more to you than such? I will leave this question unanswered in order for you to think it out for yourself. The Sun What do you expect when it has been cloudy for some time ? You look for bright sunshine. When the clouds pass away and the sky is a beautiful blue cast, you see the brilliant light of the sun peeping from beyond the horizon, it regener ates within you a new feeling. Then after all, you look for the Newberry Sun on Friday. That it may be wel comed into your home and bring you the news of pleasure, and that it may shine in your homes. While you are attending the fair, go to the office and hand in your subscription. Butchering On Friday, Nov. 5, Mr. W. D. Sum mer butchered a hog weighing 575 pounds.

NOTICE We the undersigned Jury Comm issioners of Newberry county, shall on the 11th and on the 18th of Nov ember 1937. at 9 o’clock A. M. openly and publiclv in the Clerk of Courts Office, draw thirty six names to serve respectively as Petit Jurors for the Court of Common Pleas, which will convene, (first week), November 22nd (second week), November 29th, 1937, at Newberry County Court House 10 o’clock A. M. H K. Boyd, Clerk of Court ,T. C. Brooks, Treasurer P. N. Abrams, Auditor November 30, 1937 FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1937 The Spectator Ben E. Adams, represenative from Richland County and editor of the Free Press, advocates the removal of taxes from homes. Mr. Adams is considering the social value of home- ownership as a means of combatting the dangers growing out of a foot loose population. In the leading article appearing in the Free Press Mr. Adams refers to the assumption by the state of the cost of many local services and argues that local levies should be correspondingly reduced. Mr. Adams is right, ftyhink. Local taxation is too burdensome; taxes should be based primarily in income or profit, not on property. Certainly this should be the rule, though I see the danger of land speculation. A distinction somewhere should be made between a home and an investment. The State should encourage men to build their own homes. No man’s home is an "investment and should not be assessed as such. Of course property which is owned and used for investment (or “rented out”), should pay as an investment, for that is what it is—though a very poor investment. Whether farming land is an invest ment, just like the machinery in a newspaper plant, is a point for discus sion. Mr. Adams probably throws out the suggestion for discussion and it will be a healthy discussion. Down in that noble comer of the modern Garden of Eden in which I greatly rejoice and have my habitat there are rumors of a potato dinner —a dinner of sweet potatoes and coffee. Just off-hand that may ap pear simple, even uninviting sort of affair; but not so. The South Caro lina sweet potato is truly an apple of the earth, with greater food possibili ties than all the apples since Eve ate the first one. But great as are Caro- lia potatos, the low country potato is a thing apart, a veritable poom in food awaiting the master’s touch. Boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, fried potatoes, candied potatoes, potato biscuits, potato-pone, potato custard pie—and all that, washed down with coffee. You remember General Francis Marion defeated the British with a potato and rationed his horse with the “peeling”? Of course I am not try ing to arouse my worthy and admired friend Alex Salley to any snorts of disgust as to the historicity of my potato allusion. If General Marion did not vanquish the British with po tatoes, I wager I could win over Mr. Salley himself with one of my potatoes whether El Recuerdo or Touchberry flavor. Now, seriously, we do groifr de licious potatoes. You old bald-heads ruminate a minute, or reminisce with me. Don’t you remember the sweet potato of your childhood, when you, a little tow head, came in and grabbed a hot, baked potato, the syrup oozing through the peel ? Great days of long ago, ,eh ? Now two or three masterful hunters may bring in a few possums. My! “Possum and taters,,—well did you ever smell or taste anything better? Our ladies are always experimenting with cocoanut and bananas. True enough a six layer cocoanut cake, or banana cake, can make you have vi sions and dream dreams—yea, verily— but a wee bit of that thinking and planning would yield so much richer and more delicious results if applied to our sweet potato. It seems to me that our State might pay for a nine month term for the ■chools, automatically requiring the removal of special district taxes, ex cept bond payments. Education is all upside down isn’t it? I am using the word “education” very narrowly, as we use it commonly to mean the formal training in the schools. Now there’s “pop” reading the paper. War in China; Japan landing troops. Well, say, where is China? How do you get there from Japan? How large is China and in what part is all this fighting? Well, “pop”, you studied all that, you know, when you were about twelve years old. You studied geography when you couldn’t possibly get anything out of it. And what about the Constitution of the United States and the Supreme Court? Well, when you were about thirteen or fourteen they had a book called “Civics” or “Civil Government”, and they told you all about these things. Probably some very young lady taught these subjects. Now that you are old enough to appreciate what it’s all about you learn that you were taught such things in your top spinning era. Of course children can- n’t learn much of any value about the world or the government; it is too far beyond the range of their experience. And the liver? I once heard a phy sician say that we low-country people have more liver trouble than any other kind of physical ailment. Well, when you were just a lad and ignorant of liver except that which is sold by the butcher, the schools taught you physiology, anatomy and hygiene. Even so, now when you have occasion to become aware of your liver, and think in terms of calomel, ipecac and soda, you can’t even find the book, much less remember what it said. What about the heart? What is its function ? All about us people are dropping off every day, just suddenly keeling over, you know. The heart and the lungs—my word! We knew all about them when we wore knee pants. But now—! Remember how we used to spell? My, but we were a lot of old moss- backs, eh? Just think of wasting all that time on spelling. Besides, its like studying a dead language; nobody can spell now adays. I think the basic or motivating idea today (pedagogi- cally, understand) is to “get” the first letter—and trust to luck. For example, ask a pupil to spell “friendly”. He will frown in deep thought until an inspiration seizes him and he opines that the word be gins with “f”. Of course at times he may try “b” or “g”, but gets to “f" after a few spasms. But once he suggests “f” the rest, residue and re mainder "is just anybody’s guess. “Friendly, has eight letters; so a guick thinker gives it the “once-over” and allows it six, seven, eight, nine, or ten letters. Just any letters, with out ryme, rythm or reason. Oh, well! What’s the use? South Carolina has much less in come per capita than most of the other states, but our people want everything the others have. Our state, county and municipal government, should be curtailed in their expenditures by at least fifty per cent._ Recently I asked some gentlemen just what county expenditures they would cut off if they had full power to govern. They agreed that we want as much as other people, re gardless of our means. TURNER S JEWELRY HAS NEW FIXTURES The W. E. Turner jewelry store, opposite the Newberry hotel, has re cently completed the installation of modern fixtures, after remodeling their building to some extent and making changes to facilitate their services. New display and wall cases are of late type giving full visibility to merchandise and affording storage space for surplus stocks. The fixtures were made in Charlotte otj order of the Turner firm and erected in the building. A small but well appointed room has been provided for those who desire to inspect diamonds in private. Mirrors and small wall fix tures on grained panels lend a neat touch and this reporter failed to find a sour note in the whole of the ar rangement. The place is very at tractive and the large stock of dia monds and jewelry sparkle with life in the new setting. The Turner boys, Bill and Howard, are jewelers much to the manner bom and have a good business. They have recently added much to their stock and have faith in their ability to con tinue to grow along with the prog ressive city. Drop in at the Turners establish ment, you’ll enjoy looking over the new place. AT MEDICAL GATHERING Dr. and Mrs. A. T Neely attended the Founder’s Day celebration at the South Carolina Medical College in Charleston Thursday. The Neelys remained in Charleston over the weekend to visit relatives. Their son, Theodore, joined them Fri day. Guests of the J. Thad McCrackins at their home on College street over (the weekend were Miss Betty Horton, ‘Union: Caldwell Simms, Union; Thad McCrackin, Jr., Clemson col lege. RECENT BRIDE GIVEN SHOWER SATURDAY Mrs. Ernest Howard, Mrs. Ada j Brown, and Mrs. Donald White en tertained at a miscellaneous shower Saturday evening honoring a recent bride, Mrs. A. L. Ruff, the former Miss Ernestine Howard. A series 6f interesting games were played during the evening after which a salad course with coffee was served. The bride received many attractive and useful gifts from her forty-seven friends present. The Charleston Chamber of Com merce is publishing a series of studies of the cost of government in South Carolina, noting the increase year by year. That sort of thing has long since got out of hand. Year after year some new something is created because of the whim of some one, or because some such thing has been done elsewhere. Usually the begining is modest, but after a while it in evitably expands and expands and ex pands and we are called upon more and more to support services that are not necessary, certainly not very im portant and assuredly not urgent. I say it advisably, that a third of all the public money collected through taxation might be saved without serious impairment of public welfare. Our schools teach unneces sary subjects or skim over them, at a high aggregate cost to the taxpayers; our colleges do precisely the same, also adding expense needlessly. We are proceeding to add subjects and courses that are not of serious and helpful contribution to the students; which are the veriest meringue silli- bub, or what-not. Our schools an<J col leges are overloaded with a lot of courses thtat ought to be thrown over board. We are of course, doing only what is being done elsewhere. That ex plains it, of course but does not help matters. We spend in every direction and hear that each service is making an indispensable contribution to the life of the State. Yet how easily could the State dispense with a lot of things and still be happy and con tented, and even prosperous. Just as the great inventions and reforms seem to come through peo ple not directly engaged in the busi ness affected, so some day we shall have to take a in hand our public in stitutions and retain only those which really serve us usefully, to the exclusion of a lot of flub-dub that now eats our revenue without a com mensurate contribution to our life. ENTERTAINS BRIDAL PARTY AT COUNTRY CLUB Following the Moorhead-Bollick wedding rehersal at the First Baptist church in Clinton Friday evening, the bridal party and a large number of guests were entertained at the Coun try Club of Newberry by Miss Mar garet McCaughrin. An attractive green and white color note was used. White chrysanthe mums and fern decorated the spacious club room and white tapers burned on the table and mantle. ‘ Sandwiches, cheese straws, and coffee was served and dainty white and green mints were passed. A large number of out-of-town friends of the honored couple were present. The wedding of Miss Mar garet Moorhead which took place Saturday evening at 7:30 created much interest in society throughout the state. MRS.

The gym will glow in its colorful setting and members of the faculty and th«ir wives are to serve as chaperons . . . So if you see lots of strange, but vaguely familiar looking people, about the city this weekend, just remember they’ve come home again . . . connection w>-h the Newberry confer ence gathering- at the Redeemer , church Friday, ihe 19th, she is sche duled for an address . . . “Schools of Yesterday and Today”, was the topic of the address of this president of the Civic League, when she spoke at Boundary street aehool Tuesday morning in connection with celebra tion of National Education Week. Also on Tuesday, she spoke at the Grey-Court Owens school Thursday morning Mrs. Summer spoke at Speer street school, also in observance of N E A week . . .

EVANS HONORED AT PARTY SATURDAY Since her recent marriage, Mrs. Everette Deaver Evans, the former Miss Cecelia Sprouse, has been comp limented with a number of delightful parties. Outstanding among these was the bingo party and miscellean- ous shower with which Mrs. George Way entertained Saturday afternoon at her apartment on Glenn street. In a floral setting of beautiful autumn flowers, five tables were set for bingo. Prizes were awarded win ners after each game and the grand prize went to Miss Pauline Summer.

Mrs. Evans was unusually charming on this occasion in a street frock of black silk with a small black velvet hat and harmonizing accessories.

The meetings conclude Thursday afternoon with the 3:30 session when the Rev. T. C. Cannon will lead the mission study. When something has been taken away from us, it is then, and only then, that we realize how much it has meant all along. We have always thought that little plot behind the old Ritz theatre lookdd better after the Civic League had planted shubbery and winter grass there, but now that it has been taken away, we realize that the place was postively beautiful . . . Pretty soon the pink dogwood trees would have been blooming and what a pretty scene it would have made. The manager planning to take over this building, however, after remodeling has been completed, has assured civic minded women that he intends to do everything in his power to keep it clean and neat and he hopes to have space to plant a couple of shrubs . . . When I found how much it meant to have this little plot torn up, I shuddered to think what New berry would be like without a Civic League—no attractive public square, no year-round beautiful Margaret Hunter park, no attractive hospital grounds or college campus. And these few only begin the amount of beautification the Civic League has undertaken in recent years . . . The League’s work is still going toward for this announcement was made to day by Mrs. J. H. Summer, president. “The Civic League will place 50 pink dogwood in Newberry next week un der the direction of the City Beauti fication Committee. Phone 219-J if you are interested .... Personals of interest . . . Visitors here this week are Mr. and Mrs. Robert West and two children of Louisville, Kentucky. They are visit ing Mrs. Mary West and other rela tives. When returning to their home Saturday, they will be accompanied by Mrs. Clem Youmans, who will visit them a week. . . Miss Daphne Bunn, _vlt. Pleasant, N. C., will be the week end guest of Mr. and Mrs. George Hawkins. Daphne, a former New berry College student who holds a sec- reterial job in Concord, will be here for “home coming” . . . Miss Mary Came Fishbume, Walterboro, also former Newberry student, is visiting friends in Smeltzer hall and will be here through the home-coming event . . . Rev. Gilbert Goodman and his bride are welcomed visitors on the college campus. Mrs. Goodman is the former Miss Grace Smith of Char lotte. They were married Saturday and are spending a part of their wed ding trip in the “City of Friendly Folks” ... “Write it up good, Connie, because it was the most bea'utiful party I’ve ever seen”, someone said to me as I stepped inside of Smeltzer hall Tues day about 6 o’clock after the tea given by the ladies of Newberry col lege faculty honoring Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Kinard was all over. As much as I would have liked to have written it up “good", I’m afraid my vocabu lary wasn’t nearly large enough . . The beautiful out-of-doors didn’t have much on the inside decorations of Smeltzer hall, because the rooms looked like autumn in all of her glory . . . Gorgeous leaves every where, marigolds, chrysanthemums, and other fall flowers galore decorat ed the rooms. A giant pumpkin cut in the shape of a basket centered the serving table. The pumpkin was fill ed with every fruit and vegetable im aginable. I think the pilgrim fathers for that first Thanksgiving dinner must have used a similiar centerpiece . . . All of the elaborate, yet cozy, affair was a household shower for the Kinards, who will soon move to their new home on College street . . And such an array of gifts they received! Have always thought it would be interesting to figure how many speeches President James C. Kinard makes during a year's time. I be lieve it would make some kind of re cord. But now I have concluded that Mrs. J. H. Summer would be a close runner-up on the college head. Be sides her NY A work, church work, house hold work, Civic League work, and about every other kind of work, j Mrs. Summer hops all over the state making speeches almost daily . . . Under the auspices of the promotional program of the United Lutheran church in America, she spoke at the Whittenburg church in Leesville last Tuesday evening. Thursday evening, she was at Trinity church at Green ville. This Sunday will find her ad dressing members of the St. Luke’s Lutheran church in Prosperity and Sunday, the 21st, she goes to Crepes Memorial church in Anderson ...
