PAGE FIVE FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1938 THE SUH 1 For Representative J. KESS DERRICK Former Member of the House COLUMBIAN SAVED BY HIS DOG WHEN THROWN OUT BOAT Columbia, June 17.—Carl D. Bran non of Columbia related tonight how Bobbie, his two-year-old English spaniel, saved his lif e a few hours earlier by pulling him from the swirling currents of the Congaree river. Brannon said he fell out of a boat in the middle of the river about five miles below here. Bobbie, on th e river bank with others of a fishing party, was told by Heyward Lovett to “go and get your master” when it was evident Bran non was in trouble. He went. Brannon said, “I tried to keep afloat” after he fell out of the boat. “The water got all in my nose and eyes and everything was topsy-turvy. Then the water knocked me against a stump. I went down—straight down, and I don’t know how far. I must have been at the bottom be cause it seemed like a year before I got to the surface again. “I was choking and strangling— didn’t have a bit of fight left in me, and I was just about to go down again, when I felt something grab my collar. I grabbed back at what ever it was and found it was Bobbie. “I relaxed and helped as well as I could by paddling a little. I was prety feeble, but ne just paddled back toward shore, 150 yards away, dragging me with him. “I weigh 180 pounds and Bobbie about 60. How he made it I don’t know. I never was so glad to feel land under my feet as I was when I finally reached shore. I never would have got there without Bobbie.” Brannon said Bobbie was a re triever and was used to bringing back duck, geese, and other game on hunts. “Maybe he thought I was a duck,” he grinned. He added that “I have always said I wouldn’t take $25 for him (the dog). But money can’t buy him now. I didn’t know he was that much de voted to me.” BUT WE DIDN’T GIVE UP, ^SLOGAN OF GRITTY FARMER Sometimes in this day of relief pensions, and increasing demands from every side for government help, it seems that th e fine traditional Am erican qualities of sturdy self-reliance and grit are vanishing. But they still exist, perhaps in as large pro- portion as ever. Here’s a bit of tes timony on the point from the Pro gressive Farmer: “ ‘Yes, I had a pretty good-sized farm and was doing right well, 1 thought, before the big depression hit us about 1932,’ said a friend in our office. ‘Then I lost the place and about everything I had saved in 30 years of work. But we didn’t give up. My wife and I started life over again on a 40-acre tract. And we are climbing back. We are making a living and keeping our faith in the future.’ “Ther e are thousands and thous ands of just such folks on our South ern farms. To all of them we take off our hats. They are the salt of the earth. No matter what sort of trouble comes, the individual, the family, the country, or the section that can say afterwards ‘But we didn’t give up,’ is the one that tri umphs in the end. Confederate sol diers were able to say it in the years after Appomattox. Their sons and grandsons will say it, no matter what fate offers them.” WANT ADS SHOATS FOR SALE—Several nice shoats weighing around 126 pounds, for barbecuing. Call and see me. D. S.

FARMERS TOIL FOR DAYS TO SAVE DOG Farley, Iowa.—A man’s loyalty to his dog resulted the other day in the rescue of th e animal from a crevice 23 feet under the ground where it was entombed for nearly 11 days. Spotty, a black and white terrier, ran into a hole in the ground while chasing a fox on the Chester Baker farm near here. Another fox terrier, Tuffy, followed Spotty into the hole. Tuffy came out but Spotty didn’t. No trace of the fox was found. The imprisoned dog’s master, Em mett Simon, a tenant on the Baker farm, and companion hunters, im mediately set about to dig the ani mal out of th e limestone rock. But they found the hole much deeper than they had expected and winding down thru the rock. Nevertheless, Simon vowed he would not give up until Spotty was found—dead or alive. His sister, Hil da, seven years old, kept a tearful vigil at home besid e the bed she had fixed for the pet when he was found. Simon enlisted the aid of his neighbors and friends and rounded up a crew of 12 men. They worked night and day and in three shifts of four men each, digging and blasting their way down the path which Spot ty disappeared. They could hear the little dog’s bark, seemingly urging them on to the rescue. Then for a day the dog’s barks were not heard. For a while it was feared he had died of thirst or star vation, but Simon and his men kept on. Shortly after the next day the workmen reached the point where they could se e Spotty wedged in an opening six inches wide. Tender hands picked up the 10-pound dog ana carried him to safety. Spotty was still in good condition altho quite weak. He showed his ap preciation before a large crowd on hand to witness the rescue by wag ging his tail and barking feebly. Hildo was summoned from her classes in school to see her pet. She raced home and hugged the little dog as she exclaimed: “I’m so happy Spotty is safe, but I knew brother would bring him back to me.” Barbecue at Jolly Street SATURDAY JULY 2ND BENEFIT OF LOCAL BALL CLUB BASEBALL GAME IN AFTERNOON.

IN THE WRONG LINE Mag wrapped her shapely legs around the spindle of a seat in the Dixie Lunch and bawled out her or der of “two all the way.” As “Smit- ty” hurried to fill her order she turn ed to me with a grunt her dopey eyes blurred and half closed by drooping lids. “Why don’t you quit this sort of business, Mag?” I begged. She drew deep on her cigarette and thumped it toward the door as “Smity” appeared with her order. “What can a girl do then?” she re plied through bites of hamburger. “There’s little Jim, and he’s gotta eat, you know. And h e can’t go naked— you know that too, don’t you?” She finished her lunch and we went out into the night, hand in hand. She was jittery and I longed to do something for this poor girl who had become engulfed in the wrong busi ness. “I have only 30c and my rent is due tomorrow.” There was a pause as we watched from a park bench the throngs of happy people about the pool before us. “But I have a date tonight,” she said with a start. I knew if I was to succeed in wean ing her away from this wrong busi ness I must keep her away from that date, which would only tend to enmesh her deeper in, its clutch. “But I must have money, and he might give me a big—” “Just a minute! Just a minute! Mag. It is true that he might give you an order for a self-threading needle but as sales manager for the Hole Stop for Half Hose I can guar antee you a hundred per cent on each sale. What say, old girl, what say?” NICE PEACHES As soon as we g^t a dollar (or a reasonable facsimile) we are going to trad e at least a part of it out with Tycoon Herman Langford.

Hare was born in that part of Edgefield County, South Carolina, that later became Saluda County. He is of humble parentage, his father being a small farmer. He worked on farm during summer and attend ed the rural public schools in winter until he enterel Newberry College where he graduated in 1889. Following his gradua tion he taught school four years until he became secretary to Congressman George W. Croft, who died in service. He taught history and economics in Lees- ville College for two years when, ■as result of a competetive exam ination, he became special agent with the U. S. Bureau of Labor to investigate and report on the social and economic condition of woman and child wage earners in textile industries of the South and New England. After mak ing the investigation and while preparing the report he worked during the day and attended George Washington University at night, specializing in history, political science and agricultural economics, receiving his Master’s degree in 1910 and his law de gree three years later at George town University. For a few years he was Assistant in Agri cultural Education, Editor of Rural Economics and Agricultur al statistician for United States Departmtent of Agriculture. In 1912 he outlined the first amort ization long-term plan for farm ers, the same being used as a basis for the law when the Fed eral and Joint Stock Land Banks were created. He returned to Saluda, his home county seat, and began to practice law in 1915. In 1924 he was elected to Cong ress over four opponents, served two terms without opposition and elected again in 1930 over two opponents in first primary, but, under the law and accord ing to the population census of 1930, South Carolina’s represen tation in congress was reduced from seven to six members, whereupon in redistricting the state in 1932 his district was practically abolished, and conse quently he did not offer for elec tion in his new district, but with out complaint or criticism of any one he returned home to bide hi® time. For the past six years he has given his attention to farm ing, practicing law and studying our national problems. He is now asking to be returned to congress that he might complete some of the work started when ■there and to aid in promoting other worthwhile legislation. He invites your favorable consider ation of his qualifications and will appreciate your support in the primaries. Local Greek Prefers America Magistrate Newberry BEN F. DAWKINS Offers for Reelection Two or three years ago Dennis Athanos and his wife, local Greeks, felt a longing for their homeland. She had been away about eight years and Dennis about 25, so they wound up their affairs with the exception of Dennis’ cafe business a n d bid adieu to the land of their adoption which had treated them right well in a material way. Dennis had probably made $30,000 to $40,000 right here in New berry since 1918 and although he had lost some of it he felt he could re turn to Greece and round out his years on his savings. But Dennis failed to reckon with the forces that had been at work dur ing his quarter of a century absence. H e didn’t find the country he expect ed to find; everything had changed. Many of his friends were killed in the world war, others were scattered about the country. “My wife was ready to come back after three months,” said Dennis, “and I was more than ready after thirteen months.” The people of America, Dennis said, do not realize their blessings. H e found many of the Greeks wear ing burlap for clothing and old tires for shoes. “I did not want to stay in Greece and see my people suffer when I could not take oar e of them,” he said. By this Dennis meant his own father and mother and other kinfolks. He did not have the means of taking care of them all and h e preferred to be away from them and send money back to them from America rather than stay in Greece and witness their misery. Greece is under a complete dictat orship, Mr. Athanos said, and people dare not express their opinions. The comparative quiet of an old monarchy existed when he left the country. Desiring to tour the country « bit Mr. Athanos priced a 1926 Chevrolet and found they wanted $500 for it. “I will go back to America where I can buy one like it for $5,” he told the salesman. Gasoline in Greece is 50 to 60 cents a gallon and in a town the size of Newberry Dennis said ther e would be about 25 automobiles. Everything not raised or manu factured in the country is extremely high. A pair of hose selling for a dime in this country would be 30c over there. “We talk about a depression,” said Dennis, “but if the Greeks had even what we hav e now they would think they had great prosperity.” America, Dennis thinks, is a great country. “I want to live where peo ple know m e and if I get down and out they will take care of me for a short while until I can come back. Over there if you don’t have money it’s just too bad. REUNION DATE CHANGED The annual Kinard reunion will be held this year on August 6th instead of July 30 as previously announce,'.
