VOLUME 1; NO. 36 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1938 Slider A Greneker—1856-1860 $1.00 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE WAY OF WOMAN It is said that if you give a woman enough rope she will hang herself— around your neck! TWO ENDS An exchange says man has two ends—one to sit on and one to think with. A man’s success depends on the one he uses most. It’s a case of heads you win, tails you lose. FASTING FLEAS From an exchange: “Experiments by entomologists show that a flea can live sixty-two days without food. And we will bet that those that fast ed that long are the very ones that pick us out to feast on.” CROPS LOOKING GOOD L. W. Derrick of Prosperity route 3 was here for court Monday. Mr. Derrick reports crops looking fine in his section. A big rain fell in his community last Friday and again Sunday, he said. “AND A LITTLE CHILD ” Attended a few nights of a stomp down revival out in the country last week where we had interests other than personal salvation (not that we don’t need that too) and was befud dled at .the reaction of the fiery rev erend’s exhortations. Hardened men openly proclaimed their lost estate and prayed like veterans. Where they got fitting words for a prayer is as much of a mystery as how and why the preacher’s words touched a responsive chord in the heart of an anemic looking little girl of 6 who stood as a new convert on a stage along with eight others whose ages outstripped hers by many times. The preacher’s message, depicting for the most part the awfulness of sin and the glories of salvation, could not have meant anything to this young heart. Yet, there she stood alongside grown men and women, apparently as penitent as they. She, in fact,' was the first to the altar and we have been puzzed to know whether she acted from curiosity or whether prophecy was being fulfilled before our very eyes. MAKES MANY BASKETS Mr. G. Will Kinard, now nearing 70 years of age, says h e has made about 100 cotton baskets this year. He has been able to pretty well fi nance his crop this year from the revenue from his baskets. FIRST COTTON BLOSSOM The first cotton blossom of the season was brought to our office Fri day morning by Hack Wallace. It was from his faarm on the Prosperity road. H. E. Wilson is running the farm. WOULD RATHER NOT We made a rule here in th e office some time ago that we would not ac cept three months’ subscriptions. A quarter hardly Justifies the expense of handling a subscription for three months, and y<A. a quarter is money and times are |ard. We will not for nonce how strictly to the rule, -would- appssahsir judwr riptiona of longer term. We say this because we fear before the New Deal gets through with us we will be glad to take a plugged nickle. HARMON LIKES HARE Thomas J. Harmon of the Vaughn- ville section was in the city Monday and dropped in to pay his subscrip tion. Mr. Harmon was here as a juror for criminal court. Asked about Butler Hare’s chances around Vaughnville, Mr. Harmon was of the opinion that he would “sweep” that section. “I was in college with But ler and know that he is a fine man,” Harmon said. He was anxious that we “do all we could” for Butler and we are cer tainly going to try to accommodate him. A SELL-OUT AT JOLLY STREET Clarence Metts, fiscal agent of the Jolly Street baseball team, and a generally useful man around when things are to be done, reports that the 35 chickens barbecued for the Satur day crowd at Jolly Street were rapid ly consumed and calls for more had to go unfilled. An eating event at Jolly Street always attracts crpwds and the folks down that way are now looking forward and making plans for the big campaign day there which will probably come the lattter part of next month. OPERATES GULF STATION Paul Haile, County commissioner, is now operating the Gulf service station on Nance street opposite the water and light plant. “Tell my friends I am expecting them to drop in on me,” Paul requested. Mr. Haile is in th e race to succeed himself and so far has no opposition. He fevis that in operating his own business he will have more time and will be able to give more thought to the commissioner’s office. Mr. Haile has been very diligent in pursuing the duties of his office and his friends feel he is entitled to another term, in order to continue his work. HARVESTS MUCH GRAIN H. O. Long, planter of the Silver- street section, reports he has just harvested his largest crop of grain after many years of farming. From 300 acres Mr. Long harvested 1,062 bushels of wheat, 7,040 bushels of oats, and 2,100 bushels of beardless barley. The grain is of fine quality and Mr. Long will dispose of much of it as seed to farmers over the state. He has built up a reputation for pure seed and his output annual ly now amounts to considerable quantity. Two hundred of the thr«.e hundred grain acres were also sown to lespedeza and Mr. Long intends to harvest this year with a combine. Mr. Long did his own reaping and threshing this year, using two reap ers and a thresher. Some of Mr. Long’s big crop will find its way into pork via his 120 head of fine hogs. WHEELER LIKES HARE Asked about Butler Hare’s chances in his section, C. Eugene Wheeler of Little Mountain, in to subscribe for the Sun and to “bawl” us out for not se-iding him a sample copy, said he tl,cough Mr. Hare would get an ex cellent vote there. He added that Mr. Hare was a “good” man (mean ing morally) and one who had ex perience in the job he seeks. And Mr. Wheeler is right. Thre is not a cleaner man in public life than Butler Hare and this giddy civilisa tion needs such men to keep the old ship of state off the rocks. Mr. Wheeler underwent an operation in April and is slowly regaining his strength. PLAY BALL! Harry Hedgepath has about 100 boys ranging from fifth graders up playing baseball each week and get ting a big kick out of it. Not so much news in that but when viewed from the standpoint of idleness being the “devil’s work shop” it takes on de cided importance. Hany is teach ing them thru baseball to be good, clean sports, and time thus spent by the kids would likely be used concocting some devilment but for their love for the great American game. Harry is to be commended for his interest in the boys. WHITMIRE IN CARTOON In the “Strange as It Seems” fea ture by John Hix in Tuesday’s dailies we find: “Not a single Smith, Jones, nor Brown is listed in the telephone directory of Whitmire, S. C., a town of 3,600 people.” But that doesn’t mean that they are not there, they are. Probably the reason the Smiths, Joneses, or Browns of Whitmire have no telephones is accounted for in the fact that there are less than 50 resi dence phones in the town. Money Is Ready For Alarm System Taylor Seeks Extension of Star Route To Columbia Young M. Brown Wednesday morn ing received the following telegram from Congressman John C. Taylor: “Works Progress Administra tion has just advised me by wire that approval has boon given ap plications filed by the city of Newberry for $85,000 street im provement program and $12,600 for installation of fire alarm system. Am glad to be able to forward this information to you.” Mr. Brown is also in receipt of the following letter from Mr. Taylor: “With further reference to your in terests and interests of other New berry, Prosperity, and Little Moun tain citizens in the extension of Star route service from Newberry to Columbia, this matter is now in the hands of the post office department. I called it to their attention that ev erything possible be done to grant this extension and to greatly improve mail facilities for Newberry and the other towns mentioned. I am very anxious that this be giv en favorable approval and shall be happy to do anything I can to be of further service." — S. C. UNEMPLOYED W ' SHOWING INCREASE Columbia, June 21.—An unem ployment curve moving rapidly up ward was reported today by the state employment service. A total of 81,438 persons were listed as seeking employment, one of the highest figures since the peak of 110,000 in 1936. The figure compared with 51,588 for the same period, the week ending June H» of last year. The rolls have almost doubled since last fall .when 48,000 individuals ask ed for work. The 81,438 were nearly 2,500 more than the previous week. C. M. Wilson, employment service director, said it was one of the big gest increases for a single week. Of the 81,438, men numbered 63,- 261 and women accounted for 18,177. Quattlebaum's Work Pleases Grand Jury ; » Criminal court convened here Mon day and adjourned after a few hours’ work. From the grand jury presentment the following is noted: “We feel that our law enforcement officers are doing their duty. We wish to com pliment Deputy H. J. Quattlebaum on the very fine finger-print work and w e think our county fortunate in having such a man connected with the enforcement office.” Charlie Newsome and William Burke were given 12 months each for house breaking and larceny. James L. Stephens was declared not guilty of a charge of operating a car while under influence of alco hol. Jessie James, gentleman of color, will lay aside his smoke irons for eight months and make some little ones out of big ones. He broke in a house and otherwise misbehaved. Housebreaking seems to have be come a sort of game in the county with a considerable slice of the pop ulation playing at it. Sentences ranging from six to eighteen months wer e given the following for that off ense: Simpson Gary, Jones Mayer, the Kelly boys (George and Law rence). Fate Danzy, whose first name overtook his career of crime, had a weakness for entering uninvited and was given a year and a half on one ■charge, and a year each on two other charges. John Copeland for assault and totin’. One c»se 16 were placed oa et for tnal later. L A good number of people from the country were in for the court, but melted from the streets shortly after court adjourned and the town re sumed its normal Sunday appearance. —4 Director of Sports For Women Students A recent check shows that there is state-wide interest in the new ath letic program at Newberry College under the direction of Coach William L. Laval. Work will start soon on the lighting and enlarging of the ath letics field. Since Newberry is Co-educational the college authorities are planning a comprehensive athletic program for the women students also. To serve as resident nurse and also to direct an athletic program for the young women, Miss Olive Miller of Mem phis, Tennessee, has been elected. Under her leadership the women stu dents will be given every opportunity to participate in various sports as basketball, tennis, hockey, volleyball and baseball. Courses will be pro vided also to train young women to become teachers of physical educa tion. Miss Miller was an outstanding athlete in her college career. She receives her R. N. degree from the Baptist Hospital in Memphis this summer. Reservations indicate that the en rollment of women students at New berry as well as that of men next session will be larger than in recent years. SUMMER SCHOOL SEES LARGEST ENROLLMENT given 6 months .ery and gun nol pressed and continued dock- JOHN T. DUNCJ AT AGE DIES \ SEVENTY-SIX John T. Duncan, 76, probably the best known CHAPPELLS SUBSCRIBER J. D. Epting of Chappells was in the city Tuesday on business. He stop ped by and subscribed to The Sun, thus adding another of the “old-tim ers” to our increasing list. ENROLL IF YOU WOULD VOTE Enrollment for the August primary is proceeding- slowly over the county according to reports reaching us. With only about four weeks left only 66 persons have enrolled in Ward 2, out of a possible 650, and that seems to be about the proportion in other wards. If you want to vote this summer you must enroll; enroll ment two years ago does not apply for this year, nor does registration for the general election in November entitle you to vote in the August pri mary which will be held on the 30th. Enrollment books close 30 days be fore the primary. Candidates who intend to run this year must file their entrance with A. H. Counts, Secre tary, by noon Tuesday the 28th of this month. The first, and only, campaign meeting will be held the night of the 29th at 8 o’clock at the new court house.

Also 46 head of hogs, including th e groom’s father from North Dakota, where he is engaged in missionary work. “These shotes are thrifty and all relatives of th e Bride and Groom. They all gathered in the spacious dining room after the ceremony, and partook of 300 bu. of oats, 1,000 bu. of corn, 10 large sacks of Millet and Alfalfa. “The bride is the youngest daugh ter of one Old Trusty incubator, capacity 600 eggs, one John Deere five room cottage, and a trip to Oma ha after which they draw 10 per cent interest from date.”—Waseca (Minn.) Journal. LIONS SEE MOVING PICTURES The regular meeting of the New- beyy Lions Club met at the Newberry Hotel Tuesday evening with about 40 members present. Prof. C. A. Kaugbman, Registrar of Newberry College, showed three moving pic ture reele of the activities of the College. LET’S BE TOLERANT The human race got all kinds of devilment in its head when Adam got mixed up with that woman, so we are not altogether responsible for what we are or what we do. Dating from that time, theologians tell us, man took on most of the qual ities of a jackass, leering at his neighbor’s wife and coveting his currency. So let’s be tolerant of any cursed with Adamic traits. All of us are cast in the same mould and never know when our fingers might become sticky or the urge come upon us to do a bit of exploring outside our own back yards. WE ARE REMEMBERED Due to press of other matters we failed to acknowledge at the proper time a gift by our good Superpreten der of Education of two cakes of sweet-scented soap. We had pre viously let it be known we had a weakness for such and kind-hearted old “Scrap” just went out and bought us some, fixed it up in a nice pack age and delivered it personally. We’re so innately modest that we blushed like a spanked baby durjng the pre sentation ceremony but we didn’t so far forget ourselves as not to take the soap, and what’s more we used it. Results, however, were disap pointing. This age has its nose so high its sniffing is done in the stratosphere — our fragrance was wasted! Scrap had just as well invest ed that dime in oil stock. Well anyway, everyone has the right to draw on his accumulated store of experiences and associations for material to construct in fancy a futur e out yonder on the plains of tomorrow, and we are going to lift ours bodily irom the age of pungent soap, picture hats and cotton stock ings. This sissy age makes us sick; we want to live again in a robust generation—even a rancid genera tion! Don’t get us wrong; we have no no tion of hastening our Utopia. Among our thousands of other virtues is pa tience and we ar e going to stick around and keep our snout on even keel while our neighbors sniff the upper reaches. Too, elections come now and again and a lot of proboscis are withdrawn from th e ozoije and thrust in your face and that sort at compensates for a time. pital in Columbia Saturday following an extended period of illness. Mr. Duncan was a lawyer and a candi date for governor a number of times. Mr. Duncan was a strong advo cate of the development of water power for state purposes. He held that proper development of water power of the state’s water resources would finance the state government. His “dream” was more or less dis counted in his day, but he lived to see the great water power of the state developed to enrich private interests. Mr. Duncan was a familiar figure about the streets of Newberry in his later years and his interest in power development remained to the last. He was alway ready to discuss it with anyone. Mr. Duncan is survived by one son, Daniel T. Duncan, of Greenwood, chief engineer of the Buzzard Roost power development; a daughter, Mrs. Sara Duncan Olsen, of Chapel Hill, N. C.; a sister, Mrs. W. A. Dunn of Newberry, and a brother, Jim C. laciy tne *t * S W h (UNIT QV LABOR’S NON-1 * nos ^^^artiSAN LEAGI FREDERICK HENRY WHITNEY Frederick Henry Whitney, Jr., 23, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. F.

Work at the summer school at Newberry college is well under way with the register showing probably the largest attendance in its history. The school opened on the 14th and will continue for six weeks. New courses are offered this year and the teaching staff has been augmented to care for these. Enrollment this year in all depart ments will reach about 250. The business department under Miss Ma- zi e Dominick has some 20 students taking typing and business instruc tion. A unit of Labor’s Non-Partisan League was formed here Saturday morning following an address by Dowell Patterson, of Charleston, to a considerable number of textile work ers in the court room here. Ed Mc Connell of Mollohon was elected president. The purpose of the league, it is said, is to inform voters of the labor record of men in public office or those aspiring to office. The league, said some of those attending the meeting, does not attempt to dictate to voters. After Mr. Patterson’s talk, the workers present voted unanimously to organize a Newberry County Unit of this League. The following offi cers wer e elected: Chairman, Mr. Ed McConnell. Vice-Chairman, Mr. Furman Goree. Secretary. Mrs. Lillian Goree. Treasurer, Mr. Olin Price. The officers with the following three will compose the Executive Committee: Mr. R. L. Beatty, Mr. W. L. Smith and Mr. Frank Culclas- sure. At the next meeting a lady will be elected to serve as chairman of the Ladies Division and as a member of the Executive Committee.

Supper will be served beginning at 6 p. m. and the barbecue beginning at 12 o’clock noon. Come and enjoy an excellent ’cue wtih courteous service—given for the benefit of the church. MILLS MUST CUT COSTS OR CLOSE JACOBS WRITES Greenville, June 20.—Dr. William P. Jacobs of Clinton, secretary of the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers’ association, said today that with costs high, profits impossible and losses inevitable, there is no choice with many mills but to reduce costs or close.” He said in a communication to Com missioner of Labor John W. Nates that a proposed Spartanburg confer ence on wage reductions would ac complish little of value. The parley was postponed after a preliminary meeting yesterday. Jacobs said, “. . .it is obvious that when mills in other sections have re duced wages it is impossible for South Carolina mills to remain on a higher pay schedule without jeopardizing the employment of South Carolina textile workers as well as the mills. "... For many months now the mills have operated at sever e losses and have been in many instances forc ed to reduce operations to shedules of three days per week or two days per week and in some cases to com plete shutdowns. “ ... It is suggested that it would be a most constructive step if you, in advance of a conference with South Carolina mills, will take the leadership in the solution of this pro blem by calling into conference the commissioners of labor of other tex tile states in an effort to solve this problem. ...” Miss Mary Burton is visiting her brother J. A. Burton in Great Neck, New York. Civic League Plans High Day at Park On Friday evening, July 1st, from 6 to 8:30 o’clock the Civic League of Newberry will entertain the public at Margaret Hunter Park.

Langford, one among the bright graduates of New berry College, and who later complet ed a finished course at the Pough keepsie business college in New York, has accepted the position of book keeper at Clemson college, and has entered upon the discharge of his new duties in that institution of learning. It is gratifying to the many friends of this rising young Newberrian that he was selected by the strong and sound Clemson board for so responsible and important a position and w e feel sure that the wisdom of the choice will be seen in the future work.
