TRUCK INSPECTION BEGINS .rtVa ■ ■ I 1^- : - The co-operation of the trade- owners and garagemen of Newberry has been very gratifying” reported Clifford O. Turner, supervisor of the truck inspection unit of the state highway Department, now located on Kibler street near the Speer street school in the city. “I am pleased to state that sixty- three trucks were presented for in spection Wednesday afternoon. How ever, a suprisingly small number of these were approved,” Mr. Turner states. Mr. Turner insisted that the truck-owners would greatly expedite the approval of their equipment by of having it checked by their mechanics before presenting it to the inspection station for inspection. This would prevent a great deal of running back and forth to the station for re-in spection. Folders are available at the station which explain to the ga ragemen ad truck-owners the gener ' al requirements of the act pertaining to lights, brakes, wheel alignment, etc. Barring unfavorable weather con ditions, the inspection and approval of the commercial vehicles of New- MUSIC CLUB STUDIES GERMAN FOLK SONGS The Newberry Music club held its January session Tuesday evening at ... . the home of Fulmer Wells on Har- • .

Its research has unearthed masterpieces which have been all but completely forgotten because of the long-stand- iug pre-occupation of male singing groups with the less difficult ballards and popular hits of the hour. These men, though active and ex perienced soloists in their own right, have cultivated the rare ability to submerge themselves in the interests of a delicately attuned, blended and balanced tonal ensemble. With voices of exceptional individual quality and range, with a background of long study, thorough musicianship, un compromising artistic ideals, and ex tensive concert experience, and with the natural advantage of a universal preference for the rich harmonic beauty of trained male voices, they offer a program that is a unique and exhilarating experience to every type of listener who loves music~A program of high musical worth,.inti mate appeal and great variety. The lonians have developed to a high degree of Perfection the dif ficult but superlatively rewarding art of unaccompanied singing—^reward ing to listener and performer alike. Applied even to the simplest of folk songs, this superior musical training and this artistic zeal endow them with ever more vital heart-moving appeal. To audiences everywhere, in concert and radio, the lonians are demonstrating the great potential worth of a capella ensemble singing, and the audiences are finding that the forbidding “classics” are closer to their hearts than the familiar bal lards expected of a “male quartet’ The Ionian Singers will appear here under the auspices of The New berry Cooperative Concert Associa tion. VISITS FLORIDA Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Lominick and son, William, and Miss Katherine Duncan spent Christmas holidays touring Florida. They visited many points of historical interest. ST.

JOr H. SIMPSON N t-r P 'M ' My Commissicn expi v e n a f p]e~r”r'' o’ the Governor The farmers are now very busy making preparations for another year. Some of them already have their cotton stalks run but. That’s a good idea because there may be lota of rain later on. The grain crop does not look very good but we trust it will turn out to be good. We are enjoying some fine weather just now, but we don’t know how long it will last. So far January has treated us very nicely. Quite a few people in the commun ity have changed residences lately. Mr. and Mrs. Enos Kinard and the former’s mother, Mrs. P. H. Kinapd, have moved from the Jolly Street sec tion to W. J. Richardson’s place. We regret to see them leave but wish them much success.

To Be a Government of Law Hear this from the speech at the annual dinner of the Charleston chamber of commerce last Monday night. It is what law-abiding citi zens who wish to live in a safe state long have wanted to hear from an incoming governor: “There will be no bargain days for pardons and no holidays for crimi nals,” Governor-elect Maybank said. “I will reccomend to the legislature an amendment to the constitution of the state abolishing the unlimited pardon system now vested in the gov ernor, and a new method of proced ure, which will limit the governor’s office on the question of pardons and paroles. You may rest assured that Burnet Maybank will never turn out the troops or the penitentiary on the people of South Carolina.” Nearly fifty years governors (there have been exceptions) have concerned themselves about the “mor als” of the people, and have car ried on crusades against peccadil loes. “Strong drink,” card-playing. Sunday golf and so on have struck them with horor, largely to the ex clusion of crime. Convictions for felonies in South Carolina have been all too rare. Whert men bent on murder, or other mischief, have before their eyes numerous pardons and paroles is their bent restrained? Or are they encouraged to believe that when they take the law into their own hands the chances of escape with light pun ishment or none are great? When we shall have a state in which felonies are not common it may be worth while to wage war against misdemeanors. Mr. Maybank’s declaration is that law shall be upheld in South Caro- Hna.- It will place new faith in South Carolina. It will place new faith in South Carolinians. Life and property in South Carolina must be secure before we can hope for growth and prosnerity. Mr. Maybank would have a state police “based on the merit system under a civil service commission.” Members of that kind of force would not be subject to the governor’s ap pointment, dismissal and control. There would be no danger of their use for promotion of a governor’s ambitions. They would not be as sistant governors. One might say much more about Mr. Maybank’s admirable address. It suffices now that it opens the pros pect of government by laws, govern ment, not personal and not picayune, —News and Courier.
