JANUARY MEETING
Members of the Jasper chapter, D.
A. R., met Friday afternoon of last
week at the Ralph Baker’s home on
Main street with Mrs. H. L. Parr
and, Mass. Lucy Epps as hostesses.
After the | ritual opening, a busi
ness session was held, presided over
by the chapter regent, Mrs. James; C.
Kinard. •)
An interesting article on National
Defense was read by Mrs. R. D.
Wright.
After the program, a social hour
was enjoyed when a chicken salad
course, nuts, and coffee was served.
The weather is playing tricks on
us these days—one day rainy, one day
cloudy, one day windy, one day fair,
one day postively beautiful, but not
a single day of snow. Even those of
us who do not crave a snowy season,
welcome just one or two days of soft
whiteness. It looks as tho’ we’re go
ing to have to appeal to John Henry
Baxter tot see what he can do about
the situation. Walking to town the
other morning, I saw a tangled mass
of yellow bells swaying bravely in
the wind. It seemed as tho’ these
golden petal little fiowers are trying
their best to cheer us up and keep
the scenery from looking so bare, un
til spring when everything will burst
into bloom. Just about this time
last year, I remember your society
editor had some difficulty in deter
mining the proper name of these yel
low bells. When trying to decide
whether I should write it Christmas
vine, yellow bells, yellow jasmine,
mist of spring, January jasmine, or
what-not, Mrs. J. H. Summer and
Mrs. 0. O. Copeland came to the
rescue telling me that the appropriate
name was “jasmine nudi-florum. ”
Of wide interest here are the an-
nuoncements of the wedding plans of
Miss Essie Claire Caughman, Colum
bia, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G.
Perry Caughman, and Roy D. Whita
ker of this city and Columbia. The
wedding takes place at 8 o’clock 'in
the evening of Feburary 10 in St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church. Dr. H. A.
McCullough, pastor of St. Paul’s
and the Rev. Paul Whitaker, Sumter,
uncle of the bridegroom-elect, will
officiate. Miss Caughman will be
given in marriage by her father. Her
sister, Mrs. Edward B. Martin will
be matron of honor and her maid of
honor, another sister, Miss Doris
Caughman. Serving as bridesmaids
will be Miss Phillis Mitchell, Lexing
ton; Miss Janie Lou Cothran, of Bel
ton and Silverstreet; Miss Pearl
Brown and Miss Peggy Berry, bath of
Columbia.. .Mr. Whitaker’s best
man will be his twin brother, Ralph
Whitaker of the city. Senior ushers
are T. Keith Legare and J. S. Dun
bar Sr. of Columbia. Ushers
groomsmen will be Otis Whitaker of
the city; G. P. Caughimn Jr. and
James M. Dunbar, both of Columbia;
E. M. Lane, of this c|ty, cousin of
Mr. Whitaker.. .A/ small reception
for relatives, out-of-town guests, and
intimate friends of the couple will be
given after the ceremony at the
Caughman home on Park street...
Mr. Whitaker is connected with the
Dunbar Funeral Home of Columbia.
In the list of Newberry’s annual
social gatherings comes the Presi
dent’s Ball the last of this month.
Bu|t up to this time, we’ve heard ab
solutely nothing of such a ball to be
held here. We 'have quite a few loyal
Democrats around here, so I’ve been
told, who want to join in the cele
bration of Roosevelt’s birthday. So
whoever is responsible here for plan
ning the Ball, we hope they are not
going to overlook it. For some rea
son, Newberry falls behind in many
things that other cities this size are
getting or doing and if we don’t step
up, we may be left out the next time
a new map is drawn up.
An outstanding affair in our so
called “list of Newberry’s annual so
cial gatherings” is the dance given
by Mrs. Richard Baker each January
for members of her ball room danc
ing classes. This year, the dance will
top all previous ones, as Mrs. Baker
has enrolled the largest class ever.
The dance will be held at the studio
on lower Boyce street Friday evening.
Parents of the dancers are special in
vited guests.
Perusing through exchanges, we
find two local youths making good at
colleges. .. Miss Evelyn McCrackin
scores again by being elected a May
couijt attendant to the May Queen
for the May Day festival at Queens-
Ohicara college of Charlotte. Miss
Helen Jenkins of Charlotte will reign
over the festivities during the merry
spring month. A committee selected
40 candidates for the May court at
tendants, from which 24 were elected
to the court. The nominees were
presented to (the student body of
Queens after which each student
voted on 24 girls by secret ballot...

CHATTER—Pearl Hamm stopping
in office for hurried visit. She’s just
back on the job after a severe case of
flu, but according to Pearl, it’s nice
■to be sick sometimes, or rather it’s
convenient to be confined to one’s
bed. You can stay at home, be lazy,
and read magazines and boo.’■is of the
last six months that you’v* never
somehow been able to catch up with..
. . What’s all this about Newberry go
ing to have another park -with a bridal
path and all the trimmings ? ... Mrs.
William Childs passed the office the
other day waving and smiling. Too
bad she had to move from here—
everyone liked her so very much and
adored her brilliant little daughter,
Clara Annie... Brooksie Hutchinson,
the capable secretary of T. L. Hicks,
seems to be bubbling over with gaity
all the time. We could term Brook
sie, a real optimist. .Bill Smith had a
big dinner for his employees Thurs
day evening at the Newberry Hotel
and I heard that everyone had a
“swellegant” time. Society editors
should be invited to such affairs. ..

To what extent if any is the grow
ing of upland rice still practiced in
South Carolina above Columbia ?
Some years ago certain residents of
the Capital City procured occasional
supplies of “brown” rice from Jalapa
in Newberry county. And let it not
be forgotten that ’way back in 1843,
in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, on
Eighteen Mile creek, near Pendleton,
Dr. O. R. Broyles (his given names
probably Ozy Roscoe), “grew 11
bushels of rice, weighing 43 3-4
pounds the bushel, on one acre; . . .
supposed to beat the world’s record”
for upland rice.—The State.

Newsdom, the weekly magazine
for newspapers, has the happy fac
ulty of saying a great deal in a few
words. We quote from it:
The department of justice is in
vestigating a newsprint monop
oly. Canada controls the monop
oly. The South can produce news
print from pines at a cheaper
price and break the monopoly.
“The state and agriculture de
partments have turned thumbs
down on the idea. They say it
will hurt Canada.
“What about helping the
South?”
That is what we say. What about
helping the South? Maybe our
Southern representatives in Cong
ress can do something about it. They
ought to try at least.
