OCT AMONG THE PEOPLE TIP FOR F & G GROUP They are eating crow up in Vir ginia according to the following tak en from a paper published in the Old Dominion: “Plans for a crow supper” to be attended by 100 local sportsmen as a climax of a month-long crow shooting contest were discussed in a meeting of the Pennyrile Con servation Legion home. “More than 150 crows have fallen before the guns of members of the association since the beginning of the contest about three weeks ago. The birds are being dressed and placed in cold storage until the time of the supper. It is claimed by members of the conservation group that the flavor of crow meat is si- miliar to that of wild duck.” CHRIS WILL BROADCAST Tune in on station WIS, Columbia, Monday afternoon at 4:30 and you will hear a half-hour pro^am, of dance music played by the Newberry College Orchestra under the direction of C.

REPUBLICANS WHOOP FOR KNOX Charlotte, N. C., March 15.—Col. Frank Knox, Chicago publisher and Republican nominee for vice presi dent in 1936, urged a cheering, whooping throng of Republicans to night to “keep your powers at home." Knox, here to keynote the party’s stale convention tomorrow, spoke at a banquet which ushered in precon clave activities. Colonel Knox, praising the con stitution as “the greatest document for governing a people that ever sprang from a man’s brain,” said from it came two new concepts of government—that of a union of soverign states; and that of divi sion of authority into three parts, executive, judicial and legislative. LITERARY DIGEST WOULD REORGANIZE G MEN ACTIVE G MEN Quattlebaum and Neel of the NBI (Newberry Bureau of Iden- ification) skipped Sunday school last Sabbath and rounded up a 50 gallon hooch mill in the tangled and verd ant recesses of Broad river, near the home of Elmore Richardson.

NEWBERRIAN MAKES GOOD A boy Who learned his trade in the old Herald office, dropped in on us Monday on his way back to Rich mond after a tour of Florida in his big new Packard. He is Jesse Coates a brother of Miss Nellie Coates of Helena. Jesse is a very likeable fellow and a competent linotype op erator. He rates well on his paper. Many Newberrians will remember him. SUN GETS NATIONAL COPY Next week’s issue of The Sun will carry an advertisement of the Chev rolet Motor company. This is the first national or “foreign” copy the Sun has carried. All of which may be uninteresting to the reader but to the publisher it means that one of the world’s largest advertising agencies thinks enough of The Sun to spend its client’s money in it. Advertising agencies do not place business unless they are convinced they are getting value for the ex penditure. LAMOREUX TO SPEAK Dr. F. O. Lamoreux, pastor of the First Baptist church, has accepted an invitation to deliver the literary ad dress to the graduating class of the Pelzer high school, the night of May 23. SHOULD LOOK AHEAD There is only one thing that will keep the South from becoming the manufacturing center of ihe nation. If monied interests can be assured of decent treatment here; be assured that the South has had its fijl of demagog governors and reckless law makers, a steady flow of factories from the North and East may be expected. Indications are now that we are turning to sanity in making laws to regulate industry. It is not unreasonable to expect that such a movement could reach proportions that would completely strip other sections of industrial plants. Labor that once found em ployment on farms is available for hundreds of factories; living is more agreeable in the South in all seasons and a lot cheaper. About all that is needed at the present to induce industries from the North is sufficient funds to off set the cost of the move. Eventually they will stand this cost themselves but far-sighted communities will not wait for that. It is a well-known fact that factories prefer to locate where there are other factories, and cities or even small towns which get in on the ground floor with a little cash outlay will be favored when the exodus begins in earnest. New York, March 16.—The Liter ary Digest, nationally-circulated weekly magazine, petitioned today for authority to reorganize under a sec tion of tjhe bankruptcy act, listing assets at 8850,923 and liabilities at 81,492,056. The petition was signed by George F. Havell, president. The magazine, printed by the Cu- neo Press of Chicago, was described in the petition as having 425,000 sub scribers when the [plublifcation wsfc temporally suspended last February 23. Disclosure was made that a profit able business had resulted from the magazine’s “renting its names and addresses for direct mailing adver tising purposes and for direct mail ales campaigns” at prices ranging from 88 to 815 per 1,000 names. Liability to subscribers for future issues was listed at 8611,796. Kendall Mills Lutheran Parish Rev. J. B. Harman, Pastor Fair Suggests Old Court House Be Used Mr. Editor: We note that Dr. Dominick favors the erection of a Gouty Office build ing which is sorely needed to house the outside county offices—and states that we are now paying around 82,000 annually for office rent, there fore from a business standpoint we need an office building at an added expense to the county, when we now have one that could be remed ied and utilized for the same pur pose, we refer to the OLD COUNTY COURT HOUSE. If this building which is well built is to be retained, repairs will have to be made on it every now and then. So why not do a good mod ernizing job for all time—and make into County Offices the space now occupied by the American Legion— and the Chamber of Commerce. We understand the American Le gion is taking steps.to build a “Hut” for their activities, and no doubt the Chamber of Commerce can find space for an office. If this is carried out the Magis trates office on the ground floor can be enlarged so as to give them more needed room. Newbeny County isn’t a wealthy county. Taxes as they are now are high enough. Yet there is a possi bility that they may go higher when all the lands acquired by the govern ment and the Buzzard Roost projects are taken off of the tax books. There is enough space in the old court house to take care of county office needs. The county owns the building and it certainly can be re modeled (not too expensively) to an swer for all purposes, at a less cost than a new biulding. Then why not utilize the building we own instead of adding more taxes to the tax payers. And we believe a majority of the taxpayers will agree with us. Now let the County Delegation go into this matter before a decision 's made. R. P. Fair Summer Memorial: Sunday 10 a. m. Sunday school, Mr. Eugene Shealy, Superintendent. 11 a. m. Divine worship.

PLACE THE BLAME WHERE IT BELONGS In the early days of Roosevelt much was said about “the forgotten man.” That evidently neant just what it said, at least so far as one woman is concerned. She works in a Newberry cotton mill and earns as a spare hand some 835 a month with which she supports a husband and several children. The husband has tried for several months to get a job with the WPA, even the most meanial work, but has not succeeded. He cannot do cotton mill work but he can kill time as efficiently as any WPA worker but they turn a deaf sar to his pleas. This, we suppose, is the “more abundant life” that Mr. Roosevelt “planned that way.” After five years of injustice such as this and thousands of such cases, its time to stop blaming the president’s flunkeys and blame him. If he can’t stop such as this (and there is no arguing he doesn’t know it) its time to turn things over to someone who -an. Only recently there has been two instances of suicide in Eastern cities because of the spectre of star- votion—this in spite of the fact that hundreds of millions are being spent vearly for relief. The trouble with Mr. Roosevelt is that he turned the big job of relief over to non-compe- tents and has-beens. He no doubt now sees his mistake but is o bull headed to correct it. He is a dicta tor at heart and should such a cas- trophe as a third term for his come upon us we had just well get some brown shirts and start practicing “Heil Roosevelt.” WILL SPEAK AT CLEMSON SUNDAY President James C. Kinard returns to the city today after a business trip to Birmingham, Alabama. The college head also visited the Univers ity of Alabama, which is located about 50 miles from Birmingham.

GOVERNOR’S CLAIMS ‘UNTRUE’, REPLY TO CHARGE DECLARES Ben M. Sawyer, chief highway commissioner, today sent to the gen eral assembly his answer to Gover nor Olin D. Johnston’s charge that the state highway department had exceeded the legal limitations of its bonded indebtedness. “All charges by the governor . . . are untrue,” the commissioner asserts. A total of 82,600,000 of the 84, 000,000 issue in question, Sawyer reveals, was for refinancing bonds which already existed, and, he says, since this portion of the new issue would replace old bonds, the limit has not been exceeded and the de partment is still within the law. Attacks the Governor In a detailed report of more than 6,000 words, the chief commissioner attacks the governor’s charge with out restraint and declares that the chief executive “does not have the right at law or in morals to mis- stat the facts or mis-interpret the law. Such a course cannot be jus tified by political purpose or per sonal animosity.’’ Explaining that the 84,000,000 in bonds issued, the issue in which the governor based his charges, 82,- 600,000 (were for refuianoing pur poses, Sawyer says: “Please note that the state high way commission’s request of May 20, 1937, plainly stated that the 84,- 000,000 were to be issued for the following purposes, viz: the sum of $2,600,000 for refinancing reim bursement obligations, and the sum of 81,400,000 for financing the con struction of state highways in ac cordance with the provisions of act No. 831 of the act of 1936. “The sale of the 52,600,000 bonds for refinancing purposes seems to have perplexed his excellency, the governor. Act 958, acts of 1934, i s the original law restricting or limiting the indebtedness outstand ing on January 1, J.934. Section 2 of the said act of 1934 specifically provides that it ‘shall not serve to prevent refinancing nof any out standing highway obligation.” Quotes from Audit Mr. Sawyer quotes the report of L. C. Dodge, engaged by Governor Johnston^ himself Jjo nuke the audit. charge was based, to suport his (Sawyerls) contention that, the high way department was within the law. The auditor’s report says that an act of 1936 appears to provide for the “technicality” produced by an “in terim" between the date of issuance of the 84,000,000 in bonds and the date upon which the 52,600,000 ma ture and are retried.” The chief commissioner also re ports that Attorney General John M. Daniel held the issuance of these bonds to be legal. Mr. Sawyer charges that the gov ernor refused the highway depart ment a copy of the audit, paid for (83,000) by the highway depart ment. “Why was it refused?” Sawyer asks. “The audit reports throughout was complimentary to the highway department. Why did the governor wait until March 8, 1938, to trans mit this audit report to the general assembly? > WJhy this unusual de lay?” Then he continues: “Every now and then somebody, somewhere will engage in prating and puling about the state high way department and making charges involving its integrity. As hereto fore, I challenge anybody, anywhere, to disprove the probity of the high way department in any financial or business transaction.” MRS. ROOSEVELT CALLED THAT MISERABLE WOMAN’ Columbia, March 16.—A returned Presbyterian missionary to China last night excoriated Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt for her recent pro nouncement on divorce in an address delivered here last night. Speaking to an audience that pack ed the auditorium of the Columbia Bible college, the Rev. James Gra ham, Jr., roundly scored the first lady’s statement that incompatibility sometimes provided sufficient grounds for divorce. Referring to her as “that miser able woman”, the Rev. Mr. Graham said she naturally would defend di vorce because “her own fi&mity is shot through with it.” The speaker cited free-and-easy divorce as an underlying cause of the nation’s moral looseness and declared that there could b no other grand for divorce than that pre scribed in the Bible, i. e., adultery. “Incompatibility!” he je e r e d. “Who can’t cook up a case of in compatibility! Why, I get incom patible with my wifei every once in a while.” The Rev. Mr. Graham also scored the motion picture industry as cause of the nation’s moral deca dence and described Hollywood as “the cesspool of the world.” SUB-DEB DANCE All sub-deb members of the Coun try Club of Newberry are invited to a dance at the Club tomorrow (Fri day) evening beginning at 8:30. Court Coming Monday With Judge Thurmond The docket for the March term of criminal court which convenes here Monday morning with newly-elected Judge Strom Thurmond of Edge- field presiding, lists 42 cases. This is the largest docket in the memory of Clerk of Court Hugh T. Boyd who has held the office since 1925. Dur ing the past 13 years the nearest ap proach to this term in numbers was that of last March when 39 cases were docketed. The average for a Newberry court is about 25 cases, according to Dr. Boyd. Of the 42 oases to be tried next week, 13 are for violation of liquor laws- The large number of these cases is a result of & raid by state and federal officers working with lo cal officers a few weeks ago when eight offenders were taken in. Other cases are, housebreaking and petit larceny, five; assault and bat tery of high and aggravated nature, four; assault and battery with intent to kill, three; non-support, three; grand larceny, two; operation of liq uor still, on,e; false pretense, one; highway robbery, one; and nine are for miscellaneous offenses. RAILROAD MEN PROTEST MEASURE BEFORE HOUSE Columbia, March 15.—Railroad em ployes and officials pleaded for an im- favorable report on the uniform truck bill by a house committee to day as the biggest crowd to attend a hearing in the last decade jammed the house of representativs chamber to its capacity. Secretary Frank A. Graham, Jr., announced that the committee, after an executive session, deferred con sideration of the bill until Thursday to allow members to study the com parison of t^xes paid by railroads and trucking companies. Requirements Compared Cheers and applause frequently in terrupted W. P. Whelpley, veteran Charieeton railroad man, as he told of the rigid examination required of engineers and declared; . .“Many a half-witted, half-blind, ig norant negro of no experience or a drunk white man” drove trucks. “Will you legislate a greater dan ger upon our highways?” he asked the committee concerning the bill to raise the present limitations of 20,- 000 pounds weight and 90-inch width to 40,000 pounds and 96 inches. “This is a question of what is dearest to the citizens of our dear old Palmetto State. Do your duty as God tells you to do and we’ll be sat isfied.” Railroad men present were esti mated to number 700 and the ap proximately 300 others represented truckers, oil dealers and other groups.

DOWN MEMORY LANE 30 YEARS AGO SMITH PUSHES CROP SUBSIDY LYNCHING PENALTY NOT TO BE KILLED Columbia, March 16.—The house judiciary committee drafted an un favorable report today on the bill by Representative Reynolds of Oconee calling for a referendum to eliminate the 82,000 liability of counties in which lynchings occur. . The senate judiciary committee agreed to sponsor a measure to Umit the time in which an action could be brought against the state or any county for the recovery of any feee, salaries, costs, commissions or other charges by an officer or employe of the state or county. The measure agreed upon stipu lated that “in all cases where such right of action shall have already accrued on or prior to the effective date of this act, and is not barred by the statute of limitations in ef fect prior to said date, and action may be brought . . . within a pe riod of six months from the date when this act shall become opera tive, and not thereafter.” The house education group pre pared an unfavorable report on a house bill to extend teachers’ certi ficates without attendance at sum mer schools this year. “One reason the committee took this action,” said chairman Rufus Newton, “was that the certificates have been extended for (he past six years.” Washington, MJardh 15.—Chair man Ellison D. Smith (Democrat) South Carolina, of the senate agri culture committee, introduced a bill today amending the new crop con trol act to permit immediate pay ment of a 5130,000,000 subsidy to cotton farmers. He said that the fund which was made available under the third defi ciency act in 1937, would be used to pay farmers agreeing to comply with une 1938 agricultural adjustment pro gram a two-cent per pound subsidy on their 1937 crop. Introduction of the measure fol lowed a request by Secretary of Ag riculture Henry A. Wallace for leg islation to speed up the 1937 pay ments, which said were being blocked by a ruling of the comptrol ler general. Wallace explained that the comp troller general held that producers wishing to obtain the payments on loan cotton transferred to the com modity credit corporation must prove actual compliance with instead of agreement to obey, the new 1938 crop control program. He em; the. Saturday’s refenenda voted to marketing restrictions on the com modity this year, indicating a wide spread desire to co-operate in the new plan, and urged that steps be taken to grant the 1937 payments quickly. He proposed that title to the cot ton remain with the producer so that he might benefit from future price increases or premiums arising be cause his cotton reached a higher grading basis than established on the original loan basis. “If congress wishes to authorize the making of cotton price adjust ment payments in advance of com pliance with the 1938 agricultural adjustment program, it is believed that this can be accompfised with a more equitable result to all cotton producers by authorizing the im mediate payment, to all cotton pro ducers upon the agreement to com ply with the 1938 program,” he said. The payments could be made tn late spring or early summer if the legislation is enacted, Wallace said. The Charleston News and Courier published the following communica tion from I. B. Armfield, room-mate at the Citadel of Lieut. Osce Cole man, who according to all accounts thus far received, was decorated a week ago yesterday by the premier of France for bravery on the battle field: To the editor of the News and Courier. Particularly gratifying to his many friends and former asso ciates was the news of the recent ho nor bestowed upon Lieut. W. O. Cole man, when he received the Croix de Guerre from the hands of Premier Clemenceau, of France. Few these be who attain to such instantaneous and universal renown and, that be ing the case, it occurred to me. that your readers would no doubt appre ciate a more personal view of this newly-made hero. Lieut. Coleman, a member of my class, was my roomste during our freshman year at the Citadel and during this period of travail (those who were of us in those days will appreciate the allusion) ample op portunity was afforded me to learn Coleman aa few were privileged to know him. ‘This friendship contin ued throughout his two years at the Citadel and when he retired from our ranks it was my conviction that our class had lost one of its most promising members. His recent de coration demonstrates that the con viction was well founded. Kind, sincere and accommodating, Coleman readily became a favorite i of his estate. M Above all, good joke and was alert to “pull” one on that 92 per cent of with those he relished a ever on the some of the boys for the delectation of the others. His bouyant spirit and clean humor were tontag%>us» No one carried a grouch around Coleman for long. then, within the CHINESE CLEVERNESS According to Shanghai reports, the Japanese are giving the Chinese cre dit for all the tricks attributed to them by Bret Harte. Japanese of ficers last year complained that the Chinese' had rigged up immitation airplanes and tanks which had at tracted the fire of Japanese batteries and bombers, causing the Japanese great loss. Pictures reproduced in American newspapers show that the Chinese did a clever job. The latest indictment of the Chinese is that they have been sending reports through Japanese military lines by means of coolies. As long as the Japanese ad mit that the Chinese are “out-think ing” them, they will find it difficult to win American sympathy.—Spart anburg Herald. been to amuse and ever asked anyth range of possibility of Coleman was refused. Nothing was too good for his friends, with whom he would divide his last dollar—and not ask for an order on the “Q. M.” as security, either. Towards those whom he disliked he was courteous, mangnanimous and just I shall illustrate this statement by an actual occurence, for concrete examples are more impressive than abstract statement: It is, or was, written law at the Citadel that when cadets disagree and wish to visit summary corporal punishment upon each other that the nearest eadat shall intervene and (Continued on page five) LUTHER LEAGUE MEETING DIXIE CUP PLANT IS NOW IN OPERATION Production was begun last week at the new Dixie-Vortex plant at Dar lington. Sixty-five per cent of the employees of the new plant will con sist of women and it is estimated that within a few weeks 100 men and women will be at work in the new plant, earning a combined wage of something like 86,000 monthly. So far as we know here the only reason for locating the plant at Dar lington was that the owners were sold on that city by its progressive commercial organization. DR.
