WEIGHTED DOWN
Jodin Peterson says Will Waters
has to tie a sledge hammer to that
three-pint cow of his to keep the
wind from blowing her away. And
from other sources we hear that
Will is thinking of breeding her to
a giraffe and raising enf'. he can
stand up and milk.
17 AND NOT 7
Cecil Kinard in to correct us on
his church record says he has miss
ed only once in 17 years and not 7.
Two services each Sunday sums up
1838 services in a stretch. He is
out to make it 25 years and here’s
hoping he makes it. At the end of
25 years he ought to be qualified to
write a book “Why Attend Church?”
and give some pretty good reasons.
GOT HIS “NIGGER”—GLAD OF IT
The following is from an old New-
berrian, John T. Suber of Jackson,
Miss: “Just read your comment on
the Chamber of Commerce and the
Civic League and congratulate you
on your efforts to make Newberry
a better place for decent people to
live.
“Also read in a recent issue where
the Sheriff’s office raided a still on
my place on Broad river and arrest
ed my “nigger” and I hope they
keep nim in jail ’till he rots and
when I get back there in June this
year there is going to be a vacant
Negro shack there.
“Again thanking you for your
good efforts in behalf of civilization,
I remain."

TIRED OF IT ALL
The following written by a North
ern gentleman appeared in the
Charleston News and Courier and
while we do not agree with all he
says, several of the verses strike us
as being very good. We can get
along very nicely without further
first-paging of Sistie, Buzz, and Elea
nor. Anyway here it is and we be
lieve that there is at least on e verse
which will suit everyone except the
most ardent New Dealer:
“I’m tired of taxes on ham and eggs,
Tired of ‘payoffs’ to political yeggs.
Tired of Jim Farley’s stamps on my
mail and
Tired of my shirt with its tax short
ened tail.
“I’m tired of farmers goosestepping
the laws,
Of millions of jab-holders with itch
ing paws,
Of ‘fireside’ talks on commandeered
mikes,
Of passing laws to stimulate strikes.
“I’m tired of hourly-increasing debt,
I’m tired af promises still to be kept,
Of eating and sleeping by govern
ment plan,
Of calmly forgetting the ‘Forgotten
Man’.
“I’m tired of every new Brain Trust
, thought,
Of the Ship of State,—now a plea
sure yacht:
I’m tired of cheating the courts by
stealth,
And TERRIBLY tired of sharing
MY wealth.
“Pm tired of Eleanor on page one,
Of each royal in-law and favorite
son;
I’m tired of Sistie and Buzzie Dahl.
I’m simply and completely fed up
with it all.
“I’m tired and bored with the whole
New Deal,
With its juggler’s smile and its
barker’s spiel,
Dear Lord, out of all Thy available
men
Please grant us a Cleveland or
Coolidge again.

SHERIFF’S' OFFICE GET MEN
On Wednesday morning, April 20,
Sheriff Fellers was notified that
two suspicious white men were seen
around Little Mountain. He and his
Deputies, with Patrolman Martin,
and Policeman Merchant of Prosperity
immediately went to Little Mountian.
The men were located in a patch of
woods preparing a . meal. Upon
sight of the officers, they ran into a
swamp. The officers, with the aid of
some of the citizens of Little Mount
ain, were able in the afternoon to ap
prehend and capture the men. It
was then discovered that a dwelling
house of Rosa Robertson had been
entered early in the morning. After
being captured, the men admitted
breaking into the house, also that
they were the same men who had es
caped from the Lexington County
jail Sunday night, April 17th, while
being held there on a burglary charge.
They are now in the Newberry
county jail charged with house break
ing and larcency, and will be tried
at the June term of Court. They
gave their names as George Kelly and
Lawrence Kelly, father and son, from
Hammond’s Port, N. Y.
Sheriff Fellers wishes to take this
opportunity of thanking t;he citizens
of Little Mountain who so ably as
sisted him in capturing these men.

Council Moves To
Restrict Building
A meeting of the city council and
citizens of Newberry was held at
the city clerk’s office Tuesday after
noon in the interest of passing of a
zoning ordinance for Newberry. Upon
the motion of Z. F. Wright, a com
mittee composed of Mrs. J. H. Sum
mer, Dr. Charles L. Trabert, and C.
C. Hutto was elected to serve with

to be appointed by Mayor Earhardt,
these joint committees to meet with
the city attorney, Steve C. Griffith,
and draw up an osdinance as soon as
possible.
Mayor Earhardt presided at the
meeting Tuesday attended by approx
imately 60 men and women. E. B.
Purcell stated the purpose of the
meeting. He also made reference to
a recent occasion when two New-
ber y citizens had to purchase a lot
within 24 hours, paying more for it
than either could afford, to keep a
service station from being construct
ed in a residential section of the city.
Mr. Purcell stated that people of the
city wanted some protection against
the possibility of serice stations and
other such business buildings, going
up in the residential areas.
Mrs. J. H. Summer speaking for the
Civic League of which she is presi
dent, remarked that some step had
to be taken immediately in behalf
of home owners.
Dr. Charles L. Trabert, who has
been working for an ordinance in
Newberry for the past nine years,
suggested that a tenative districting
ordinance be passed. Dr. Trabert
pointed out that under this plan citi
zens would request their respective
district of the town to be zoned for
residences only.
Dick Floyd, council member, stated
that the council had not been asleep
on this proposition of zoning, but
that no ordinance had been passed be
fore because of considerable trouble
in securing an ordinance for New
berry that would stand.
Mr. Wright, taking the floor next,
said that some kind of ordinance can
be passed ip Neqfberry and must be
'yjl^6^,'
Upon request of Mr. Purcell that
no more building permits be issued
until an ordinance is passed, Mayor
Earhardt promised to see H. O.
Swittenburg, who issues building per
mits, immediately after the meeting
and request that ho withhold all per
mits until action by the committees
and city attorney.

ST. PHILIPS NOTES
The National Youth Administra
tion has placed in Newberry a power
shop located at the old knitting
mill on Caldwell street, which will
be of great value to all boys work
ing on NYA in Newberry county
and to other groups who will have
the privilege of taking instructions
in this shop
Dr. Roger L. Coe, state adminis
trator of NYA, has placed electric
tools valued at $1,000 in this shop.
More tools will be added as the work
progresses. The boys at work on
this shop project are taken from
families of low income throughout
the county. WPA certifies these
boys for NYA work. More needy
boys can be used in this shop pro
vided they are certified by WPA.
The current was turned on last
Monday and the machines are now
going at full speed. This group will
make any equipment which is need
ed for public use, such as school
desks, chairs, benches, tables,' filing
cabinets, and park seats. The only
requirement is that the public or
ganization furnish material for the
equipment to be built.
The county board of education
which is sponsoring this work shop
will furnish materials to be used in
making school equipment which will
be purchased by school districts at
the cost of materials. The New
berry county delegation is paying
rent on the building and water and
lights are being furnished by an in
terested committee. The shop has
a fine location in the hall of tne old
knitting mill. H. O. Long, owner of
the building, contributes part of the
rent, and the Newberry City Council
furnished money for wiring the shop.
The work shop is open each week
day from 8:30 to 4:30 o’clock. Adult
visitors will be welcomed, but chil
dren are not allowed because of dan
gerous machinery. The two fore
men, J. W. Counts, Prosperity, and
Gerald Shealy, Little Mountain,
have had much experience in shop
work. These foremen will teach
night classes. The

CITY LEAGUE WILL
MEET AT LUTHERAN CHURCH
The City League, composed of
young people’s religious organiza
tions in Newberry, will hold its
quarterly meeting Teusday evening,
April 26, at the Lutheran Church of
the Redeemer.
The worship program will begin
at 8 o’clock and will be followed by
a recreational hour.
John Gerald Hipp is president of
the League.
Sunday school services will be
held Sunday morning at 10 o’clock.
Divine services will be held at 11
o’clock conducted by the pastor, the
Rev. Emmet Roof. Following the
services, the Lord’s supper will be
observed. This will be the first time
w e have had the pleasure of having
a service in the morning since the
fourth Sunday in November.
Well, I guess everybody had a
grand time on Eaater day. If they
didn’t, it was not the weather’s
fault as it was a beautiful day.
a. The oul. _
individuals or classes pay the fora
men for their time.
The Newberry shop is the last of
the 10 to be placed in South Caro
lina. Because of the splendid prog
ress of the NYA in this county
under the local supervisor, Mrs. J.
H. Summer, Newberry was chosen
to have a shop.
“The Nathional Youth Admi 1-
stration feas for its main abject the
training of underprivileged young
men and young women,” says Mrs.
Summer, "so that they may be
equipped to obtain private employ
ment.” One needs only to visit the
Newberry County power shop to
realize the importance of training
the hands odle boys so that they
may take their place in "building
for tomorrow.”
Chappells has gone beyond her ap
portionment in the sale of the third
Liberty Loan bonds and says she is
going to double the amount. She has
already earned the first honor flag
for this county and the flag has been
ordered. If she doubles the amount
she will be entitled to a star in the
white section of the flag. If other
communities will do the same then the
county will be entitled to a county
honor flag.
The news that Dr. J. Henry Harms
has resigned the presidency of New
berry College and will leave the state
to accept the pastorate of a large
and influential church in Philadelphia
will be learned here with genuine re
gret. Dr. Harms is a very able man
and a most pleasing speaker. Some
time ago the Greenwood Index ex
pressed the opinion that the three
most pleasing public speakers in the
state were the presidents of Wofford,
Furman, and Newberry. The last two
are to leave the state. The fact is
greatly regretted.
Washington, April 18.—'Proposed
increase of the government guaran
teed price of wheat to $2.50 was de
feated tonight in the house, which
rejected by a vote of 167 to 98 the
senate amendment to the agricultural
appropriation bill making the change.
This action sends the question back
to conference and the senate is ex
pected to recede so as not to hold up
the appropriation bill Representa
tive Lever, chairman of the agri
culture committee, led the fight
against adoption of the amendment,
declaring the proposed guarantee is
inadequate. The vote was preceded
by four hours of general debate.
Newberry College sustains two
very great losses in the resignation
of President Harms and Dr. V< ‘
Both are alumni of the
have done a good work fi
•In retaining Prof. O. B. Cannon
as the head of the city schools the
board of trustees have done well for
the school. He has gone about his
work in that quiet and unostentatious
manner which meaita work that is
real. His work during the past year
has been of a very satisfactory na
ture and the schools have run smooth
ly under his management.
Many of the farmers report very
bad stands of corn . Some of the
farmers are planting cotton Iwhile
others are through as they did not
have much to plant. We do not
know what the results will be, but
hope that everything will turn out
all right!

KIWANIS OFFICIAL HERE
Aug. W. Smith, Greenville, lieu
tenant governor of the ninth Kiwanis
district, made an official visit to the
local Kiwanis club at the regular
session Wednesday noon at the New
berry Hotel.
The Jolly Sreet Club is taking this
method at this time to thank each
firm who gave a uniform to the ball
club.
The team was able to raise eleven
new uniforms through an ad from
various firms. We expet a few more
uniforms in the near future. Below
you will notice the names of the 11
faithful firms to Jolly Street ball
club.
Sup pa per, Newberry; City Beauty

Pure Oil Company, Newberry;Proe-
perity Ginnery, Wessinger Bros, Ice
and Coal, Prosperity; W. P. Derrick
Co., Little Mountain; C. Eric Long
Garage, Pomaria; Gresham Hotel, Co
lumbia. The eleventh was a firm who
did not want an ad but all the sport
fans at Jolly Street know where this
uniform came from, this individual
is often seen at Jolly Street. We
appreciate what these fans have done
for us and is safe for us to say these
uniforms are far the best ever seen
at Jolly Street. These uniforms will
be in action for the first time Satur
day, April 23rd, when Mollohon comes
to Jolly Street at 4 o’clock. At this
time we invite all the 11 firms to be
present for a gala affair at Jolly

one of you.
At a later date we will publish a
list of firms and individuals who
have contributed cash in helping to
