I friends who will b e leaving the city Chit-Chat By CONSTANCE ARMHELD To many the past weekend meant the last chance for a vacation period before schools start. Teachers and students alik e took advantage of the time and as a result—the city looked rather bare over the weekend. Did you notice the small crowds at theatres, churches, and other places ? And still, vacationists continue to return home after visits far and wide. One lady has just returned to the city from a three week’s trip over several states and she remark ed that everything seemed quite here. Tis true that society has been rather quiet up until now, but with the coming of September, things are stepping up. Parties for fall brides- to-be are being given and various clubs are beginning. Starting today with the very first day of the first autumn month, the American Legion Auxiliary begins a new season. The Auxiliary is meeting with Grace Summer and the Ihighlight of the program will be the installation of officers. Mrs. James R. Steward succeeds Mrs. O’Dell Wilson as pres ident. The Auxiliary promises to make great strides under Mrs. Ste wart as it did under Mrs. Wilson’s leadership. Mrs. Stewart makes the most charming presiding officer I’ve ever known.

Kathleen is the Martin’s second daughter. Mrs. Martin is the former nurse Genevieve Kemtfson and “papa" te the state highway patrolman for Newberry County. See It Again Only last week the following re mark was heard: “I bet you that anyone who has a chance to see “Snow White" the second time will take it. I’ve seen it five times al ready and I intend to see it again. Why, I find something new every- time”. Next Week, September 5 and 6, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” will b e playing at the Opera House. Many of us here have seen the picture, but we’re counting on seeing it the second time just as much, and probably more, than those who will b e seeing it for the first time. It seems strange that animated drawings can so fascinate us, but according to one person, we like them “because it takes us away from reality”. J Back To Ohio On one occasion near the end of the 1937-38 session of Newberry College, when Coach F. D. McLean was being honored, th e speaker on hand remarked, “Thank God for Youngstown. Ohio”. We all natur ally thought he made such a state ment because Coach was formerly from Youngstown, but a surprise came upon the group of hearers when the speaker continued to say that had it not been for Youngstown, our city would have had an over supply of old maids. And it is significent that so many local girls have mar ried boys from that section who cam* down to attend Newberry Col lege. Each summer we find this group coming back home to visit families. Several were here re cently, but returned home last week. Among them were Mrs. Kenneth De- Viese, the former Mary Virgil Cook, who visited her e with her husband and small son for ten days with her mother, Mrs. Essie Cook; Mrs. John McComish, nee Elizabeth Whitaker, who was here with her parents Mr. and Mrs. H. D. Whitaker, and had her son with her; Mrs. Ripasky, the former Helen Boozer, who was spending a while with her parents in the county. Items of Interest Newberry’s three most eligible bachelors, Dude Epting, Chris Kaufmann, and Fulmer Wells gave their public a slip last Thursday and went down to Pawley’s Island for a weekend, but arrived back home Monday morning looking as bright and spry as ever.

Bryson was cordial hostess at a party Thursday morning honoring Miss Frances McIntosh of Columbia, who is visiting here with her aunt, Mrs. Walter H. Hunt.

The rook prize went to Miss Mary Burton and the honoree was present ed a box of handkerchiefs by the hostess. At noon, a two course luncheon was served to the following guests: Mrs. McCaughrin, Miss McIntosh, Miss Lucy McCaughrin, Miss Fannie Mae Carwile, Mrs. W. H. Hunt, Mrs. M. J.

COBB: Life and Letters. By Fred Neuman. Rodale Publica tions, Emaus, Pennsylvania. In this biography Mr. Neuman has depicted a man whom he believes has made the world better for his having lived, and for his living today; better for his wide love of life and his keen sense of humor—a man who had the ability to make use of the things he saw and heard from day to day and to represent Southern life in no common and dreary way. He hails from Paducah, Kentucky, where he was bom June 23, 1876, a town in Western Kentucky situated on the banks of the Ohio River. This town, no matter where Mr. Cobb goes, is always recognized by him as his address—in New York, in Canada, or in Europe he registers as from Paducah; yet he set forth from the town in 1904. His family were Confederates and the man, Irvin S. Cobb, in a sense, is still strong in his affection for cer tain things in the Southern spirit; some prefer to say he is still “un reconstructed.” But the truth is per haps this: Reciprocity! Kentucky en riched him; he must enrich Kentucky by enriching others from his store of stories, his source of anecdotes—all obtained from his native heath and all understood by him as capable of showing, when to others, his grati tude and love for his native heath. Cobb, the actor, a popular story writer, a writer of humor, a speaker with wit, a radio entertainer, manag ing editor of the Paducah Daily Democrat at the age of 28 was turn ed down by practically all the lead ing New York papers when he ar rived in 1904 to seek his fortune; yet within a few years they were running the bids up to $165 a week for his services. The introduction was written by the late O. O. McIntyre, his close friend. The volume has the authoriz ed approval of the man himself, and this may account for what may seem to b e a bit flattering here and there. Posterity will have to pass on the greatnesss of -the man. LOVELY PARTY GIVEN SPTEMBER BRIDE-ELECT _ One of the most delightful parties [^he Prophecies (quoting Isaiah 24:10, IN THE CITY OF CONFUSION. By Bernard Iddings Bell. Harper & Brothers. New York. These illuminating chapters are timely and vital discussions of pre sent day life set in the framework of the calendar of the Church Year from Ash Wednesday to Good Friday; and this churchman hag something -to say about present conditions in the light of a Christian statesman who holds up the remedy of religion. Contents: 12-17;; Rev. 18: 10-13, 16-17; Luke 21: 9-11, 191 28; Acts 2: 39-40; Luke 22: 32); I Refusal, Rebellion, Religion (Ash Wednesday); II The Three Di mensions of Religion (The First Week); III The Wounds of God'(The Second Week); IV Redemption (The jThird Week); V Refreshment (The Fourth Week); VI Happiness (Pas sion Week); VII Notes on the Pas sion Week (Holy Week); VIII Behold the Man! (Good Friday); The Fulfil ment. The author ig a keen thinker; his logic is clear, his style is pure. He is a churchman but he has a message for this day and generation; he gives the three possible attitudes for men to survey; he tells why men re bel; he knows the fundamentab in the vocabulary of religion; he knows the pitfalls of th e world and the weak ness of man and that man needs re demption. His position about the place of Jesus is this: “The Christ ian knows that God is such a one as we have seen, do see, in Jesus: that Jesus is only the perfect man, but OTHERS’ SILENCE IS “SIGNIFICANT” Democratic Leaders Thought to Have Cautioned Against Roosevelt Purge Drive WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.—Presi dent Roosevelt’s purge campaign promises tonight to go to its first test one week from today, the South Carolina primary, without endorse ment of a single Democratic leader. Throughout recent weeks which have seen Mr. Roosevelt blast as “betrayers” and obstructionists” Sena tor George of Georgia, and Tydings, of Maryland, and Representative J. O’Conner, of New York, ana plainly condemn Senator “Cotton Ed" Smith, of South Carolina, no other party chieftain has raised a voice to back the White House purge. Vice President Garner, Democratic National Chairman Farley, House Speaker Bankhead, House Majority Leader Rayburn and Senate Majority Leader Barkley—the party’s five out standing spokesmen—>have maintain ed a stoney silence regarded in capi tal circles as “significant”. Their silence has strengthened re ports that they are sharply at odds with the president’s stand, and that several of them told him so early in the summer, but were outweighed by a wing of the White House inner cir cle, headed by Tommy Corcoran and Ben Cohen, top New Deal brain- trusters. Possibility that one of th e five leaders—Farley—may break his si lence to flay Tydings, was seen to night. It is no secret Farley is un alterably opposed to Tydings’s reno mination. He may be restrained from coming out against him publicly, however, through fear such a step might require his to state his po sition on others marked by the presi dent for political death. One week from today South Caro lina will march to the polls to choose Democratic senatorial candidate from a field of three—the veteran in cumbent, Smith; Governor Olin D. Johnston, and State Senator Edgar Brown. At the same time California will be holding a primary which will determine whether presidentially- blessed Senator William G. McAdoo will be renominated. He is opposed by Sheridan Downey. Tentative plans of the president provide for a visit to South Carolina after the primary to espouse the caus e of the man who makes the best showing against Smith and who will oppose the veteran in the run-off. EXECUTIVE ASKED OF STATE BATTLE WPA COMMERCIAL SCHOOL BEGINS SEPTEMBER 1 The WPA Commercial School will begin classes Thursday, September X, at the county court house. These classes have been going on for the past three years. Those interested in joining the fall class are asked to contact Miss Nina Cromer, instructor, at the court house Thursday between the hours of 9 A. M. and 3 P. M. Washington, Aug. 30.—President Roosevelt, personally directing the New Deal’s battle to banish Senator Millard E. Tydings, conservative Maryland Democrat, said tonight that he was both saddened and amus ed that his plans to make a labor day speech in the state had been attack ed as a" “invasion”. Soon after his return to th e White House from. Hyde Park, N. Y., Mr. Roosevelt conferred with Represen tative T. Alan Goldsborough, a pow erful party chieftain in Maryland’s eastern shore district. They discuss ed plans for the president’s Labor day speech at Denton, Md., which is expected to be a strong endorsement of Tydings’ foe. Representative Dav id J. Lewis, long-time liberal. The easte n shore has been con sidered one ox Tydings’ strongholds. Goldsborough left the White House declining to forecast how it would vote >n the senatorial race. He has not yet announced for either candi date and when the chief executive was asked at his press conference whom the congressman would sup port, Mr. Roosevelt said he believed he knew wher e Goldsborough stood, but referred questioners to the re presentative. The president dodged comment on the South Carolina primary in which a record vote was cast today. He had endorsed Governor Olin D. Johnston, young liberal and 100 per cent New Dealer, who opposed the elderly Senator Ellison D. (Cotton Ed) Smith, foe of many administra tion reforms. The result of this contest will test the potency of Mr. Roosevelt’s intervention in state contests to retire party conserva tives. President Roosevelt tonight await ed at th e White House the results of the South Carolina and California balloting. He told reporter!; that he already had made up his mind what he would say regardless of the out come of the South Carolina senator ial contest—but he didn’t reveal it. FARMERS ACT J. R.

George, Democrat, Georgia, forecast today that if the "committee of elimina tion” suceeded in purging from pub lic office “strong Southern men” the anti-lynching bill may be expected to pass the next congress. The gray-haired veteran told a campaign audience if efforts of the “committee” against him and other Southern incumbents, whom he did not name, succeeded at the polls “you may also expect passage of a bill af fecting the sufferage of every man and woman in the country.” The only primaries yet to be held in the south this year are in Georgia, South Carolina and Maryland.

ARKANSAS VISITORS HERE TO SAVE SOIL Farmers of Saluda, Greenwood, and Newberry counties gathered at the Hartford school house Thursday for a “Field Day" at which time they made a study of recommended prac tices of forestry, plant food deficien cy, proper land use, and mechanical methods of erosion control. The morning session was spent in going over the fields of C. L. Lester and Richard and H. L. Boulware and observing the accomplishments of the local Soil Conservation office in that area. * P. B. Ezell, Newberry county agent, presided over th« afternoon session which began at one o’clock. Thomas W. Morgan, assistant director of ex tension work of Clemson College, was the main speaker. Mr. Morgan dis cussed soil conservation work, com paring the conditions in this 1 county with those of China.

Other speakers on the program In cluded A. H. Ward, district extension agent from Aiken and A. Carnes, regional soil conservation engineer. Nearing the close of the dag’s event, a suggestion was made that the farmers of Greenwood, Saluda, and Newberry counties organize into a district soil conservation association. E. S. Turner, extension specialist of the soil conservation service, was called on to explain the functions of such an organization. After a dis cussion of the possibilities and ad vantages of such an organization in which many took part, a motion was made and carried that the farmers attending place th e plans for such an organization before their respective counties. A temporary organization was set up and T. M. Mills named chairman. Over 100 farmers attended the meeting with large representations from Saluda and Greenwood counties.
