The Newberry Music Club held its first meeting of the new year Tues day evening at the beautiful new Kinard home on College street and this gathering proved to be one of the most lovely and entertaining meats orf the club in some time. The program was carried out on the “family” idea. Participating were music club members and their child ren who are members of the Junior Music club. Illustrating how the family can enjoy an evening by all members taking part in musical en tertainment, Miss Frances Jones had arranged a unique presentation. Per forming first were Phyllis and Nor- fan Ensrud. Phyllis played a piano solo, the words of which had been written for her by a friend and the music by her father, Paul Ensrud. Noman played a piano selection com posed by his father. The J. D. 9 S' tr* ...ITS COLD OUTSIDE BUT COZY ane COMEORTABLE inside if you are using our good coal which burns to an ash.

Neville, an outstaning Presbyterian missionary who is lo cated in north Brazil, spoke at Ave- leigh church twice Sunday—at the church services and at a joint meet ing of the children and young people Sunday evening. Some of the small er listeners Sunday evening decided that Brazil was just the place for them after Dr. Neville remarked that sometimes the price of oranges went as high as 10c a hundred and pine apples, 1c apiece. It’s always inter esting to hear of some other country’s conception of the United States and during his talk, Dr. Neville stated that when telling a Brazilian that he was coming to America for a year on furlough, the native said he couldn’t understand why the doctor wanted to come to a place where there were “machine guns on every comer.” CHATTER—Society is suffering a slack since all the excitement of Christmas day and New Year’s day weddings are over, the seasonal dances are no mort, and visitors have returned home after holidays.

NO MORE NARROW PAVING! (The State) The State is no whit concerned with the controversy, which now has reached the federal supreme court between the South Carolina highway department and a group of commer cial motor truck operators. But it appears from the factual findings of the lower court that “86 per cent, of the standard equipment used by motor truck companies ex ceeds the South Carolina require ments” (maximum weight including load 20,000 pounds, maximum width 90 inches), “but conforms to the standards approved by the federal bureau of roads.” South Carolina probably cannot much longer hold out against load and width limits, which through be yond its present sanctions, yet are “standard” in other jurisdictions and have federal approval for operation in intersitate commerce. But heavier and wider trucks than South Carolina now allows cannot, with even reasonable safety to other users of the highways, travel nar row roads. This consideratiort alone —cithers might be cited of the same trend—agues against construction in South Carolina of any more narrow paving on highways carrying heavy- truck movement. It would seem to the layman an obvious course for the federal bureau of roads, if it intends insisting upon the admission of heavier and wider trucks, to re quire that any more highways built wholly or in part with federal funds shall be wide enough and durable enough to carry such vehicles safely.

OFFICES AT: ANDERSON, BAMBERG, BELTON, CHARLESTON, CHERAW, COLUMBIA DILLON, FLORENCE, GREENVILLE, LEESVILLE, NEWBERRY PICKENS, ST. MATTHEWS, SENECA, SUMTER Georgia Remains Dry Third Battle Defeated in Lower House by Total of Eleven Votes Atlanta, Jan. 11.—The third at tempt in as many years to legalize liquor jn Georgia was defeated today by the state house of representatives. A bill to legalize sales and distill ing in 12 of the 169 counties failed to pass. Ninety-eight votes were east against and 92 for it. The con stitutional majority is 103. Representative Spence M. Grayson of Chatham, however, filed notice reconsideration would be asked. If the motion to reconsider fails, the proposal will be dead. The people thrust aside liquor le galization twice by defeating repeal proposals in referendums in 1936 and 1937. The first referendum legalized beer and wine in the hitherto “bone diy” state. Liquor was outlawed in Georgia in 1917. Three days of debate ended in a round of vote-explaining in which proponents argued that liquor was flowing freely in Georgia and should be taxed and opponents insisted the state ^holld remain dry and enforce ment tightened. Before defeating the measures to legalize sales in package only by pri vately owned stoVes, the house re jected a substitute proposal to sell whiskey through state-owned stores.
