AND PWA money—all of which be longs to Newberry county as the PWA fund is a gift or grant to our county from our government. When application was made for the grant a set-up of approximate expenditures is required by the gov- »rnment. The set-up in our road building fund is as follows: Preliminary expenses . • _ 715.00 Construction costs 236,816.00 Engineering costs 10,140.00 Legal administrative and overhead and clerk 1,275.00 Legal 2,500.00 Interest during const.... 2,650.00 Miscellaneous 450.00 Not only was Mr. Clarkson paid the $2,500.00 attorney’s fee but also the $1,275 clerk fee. Now as to the atorney’s fee, $2, 500.00 is provided, it is true—IF the county board doesn’t see fit, then, with the consent of the gov ernment any balance can be applied to road work or other designated uses. I hold that $2,500.00 is far too much to pay for attorney’s fee and apparently somebody knew I would never agree to such a sum. And I might say here that $400 “Expenses” has already been paid to the former county attorney in con nection with this grant—another claim I never had the pleasure of seeing, and which I certainly would not have signed. Total so far- $4,175.00. There may b e more, as you remember I came upon these amounts only by accident. Rumors about this matter are flying thick and fast about the coun ty and no matter what you are told, remember this: For every dollar that comes out of that fund 65c of it comes from the pockets of the tax payers of Newberry county; from the toil of women and children on the farms and in the mills; from the honest God-fearing people of Newberry county who sell their little farm produce to get together enough money to deal squarely with their county on their tax bill; from the father who after a day of hon est toil sits with his brood in his scantily furnished home and allows himself to think that some day he may be able to lift them from the misery of such surroundings. It is from THESE that the money comes and not from PWA. That this claim was intended to be pushed through without my knowledge is now plain to me. have signed claims from this fund before—all of them as far as I know. Why was this one put through without my knowledge ? There is but one reason. Somebody knew I would not agree to it. That is the story as I have found it. I hold that the check was not issued legally and I intend to do everything in my power to see that that money is put back where it belongs and that any claim for any service come through in regu lar form. Some people seem to think that Paul Haile doesn’t amount to any thing and can be ignored in favor of some who move in higher circles but I want to say that though I lay no claim to being oversmart or highly placed in society, I am thank ful that I hav e always tried to be honest and I am proud that hund reds of the best people of Newber ry county returned me to office by a big majority. For this trust I re new my pledge to you. You have not heard th e last of this raid on the county road fund! Although Mr. Clarkson had the delegation sign a resolution stating that he was no longer connected with the county, he still claims to be attorney in the litigation over the old Exchange bank building. I understand that he has failed or refused to turn over to the new county attorney papers and records in this case although his connect- tion with the county was supposed to have been terminated the first of last July—seven months ago. Is he or isn’t he connected with the coun ty? He asks the delegation to say no. He himself says yes. Are we to be presented with another bill for legal services in this connec tion? I expect it—but may never see the claim. I am not trying to plage the blame for this unfortunate ocur- ance on any one. I’m only stating the facts as I know them to show that I had nothing to do with it. This article is being submitted to both county newspapers. (Signed) PAUL H. HAILE January 23, 1939.

NEWBERRY DEFEATS WOFFORD IN BASKETBALL HERE The Newberry Indians displayed their basketball prowess for the first time this season on the local court when they defeated Wofford Tuesday night 30 to 25. Considering that the Redmen have played all of their games up until Tuesday away from home, they have an excellent record. Coach Bill Laval has a colorful team—one that combines accurate shooting with rapid passing and speedy floor work. Lucas and Capolla, sophomore forwards, have added strengtn to a team that was poten tially gregt last year. DeBruhl, play ing the pivot position, is an improv ed ball-handler who feeds the ball to his teammates, enabling them to do most of the scoring. Shuller, Cromer, and Lambeth are all veteran players who can score well from any spot on the floor. Newberry has two more games this week; Thursday, the South Georgia Teachers here; Friday, the Citadel at Charleston. Home games scheduled for this season include the following: January 30: Newberry vs. P. C. February 3: Newberry vs. Carolina. February 8: Newberry vs. Furman. February 11; Newberry vs. Stetson. February 17: Newberry vs. Ers- kine.

As Burnet R. Maybank stood on the steps of the State House just prior to his inauguration, this young miss, described as about three years old, came from somewhere, deter mined to shake hands with the new governor. Her elders told her to wait until after the ceremony, but she could not wait. Speaker Sol Blatt was in the way. The child brushed up against him. almost pushing him aside in her ef fort to get by. She made it. She reached the side of the governor- elect, and pulled at his coattails, more and more insistently. Mr. Maybank stopped talking roac' - ed down and cordially shook the little girl’s hand. She retired into the crowd. A few moments later he was inaugurated governor.

F. Hawkins, Newberry county breeder, has sold ten head of regis tered Guernsey heifers of excellent breeding to Eleuthera, Ltd., at Hat chet Bay which is located on one of the Bahama Islands about three hundred miles off the coast of Flor ida. According to J. L. King, county agent, Mr. Levi of Hatchet Bay has chosen these Guernseys along with others from South Carolina to star a foundation herd on this Island which has not had a source of fresh milk He had only registered Guern seys which he will use to start a Guernsey Island of his own. People of this section are very proud t'lat Newberry county Guern seys will help compose the founda tion animals on this island. TODAY AND TOMORROW (Continued from page one) They are planning to extend the benefits of the Social Security law to domestic servants and farm work ers. The way the tax will be col lected will be by stamps which the employer will buy at the Post office and paste on the employee’s card every week or month. That has been the system in Germany for years. I don’t like the idea of putting everybody under the eye of Gov ernment all the time, but in a coun try as big as ours maybe it’s a good plan to make it possible to find out whether anyone is who he pretends to be. Fingerprinting voters might be a great help in keeping elections honest, for example. COSTER discovered The most sensational news story of recent times centers around fing erprints. When it was discovered that the highly respected prominent citizen who was the head of a great wholesale drug concern was not F. Donald Coster, as he represented himself to be, but an ex-convict with a long criminal record, named Philip Musica, he killed himself. If it had not been for the finger- orints made when he was arrested many years ago it might never have been discovered that he had been "ngaged in criminal activities since boyhood. Even if his record had Ven known, the world would have -'wneeted him for trying to live down his past and go straight. Rut be couldn’t go straight, and when it was learned that many mil- ’ : ens of the assets of the corpora tion he headed had vanished he took the cornered criminal’s way out. 10 15 Visits to trash dumps Visits to schools Complaints investigated Food handler permits issued .
