2 SIDES To EVERY QUESTION H-D COLUMN
By LYTLE HULL
An event which primarily interests
the farm women of Newberry but is
of importance to all is the annual
spring meeting of the County Coun
cil of Farm Women which this year
—Friday-—is being held at the New
Hope-Zion school with the Mt. Plea-
, sant and New Hope-Zion Home Dem
onstration clubs entertaining. A
morning and afternoon session is
being planned with many interesting
features on the program. Bur,'-ess
Boltman, the capable “highway safe
ty” man from the state highway de
partment speaks at 10:30 in the
morning. The afternoon meeting
features a talk by Hal Kohn on dah
lia culture and an entertainment pro
gram by the Mt. Pleasant club. The
council, which meets twice yearly, is
composed of the county demonstra
tion clubs which are supervised by the
home demonstration agent, Miss
Ethel Counts. Mrs. D. S. Halfacre is
president of the Council and Mrs.
Paul Long, secretary. The Friday
meeting begins at 10 o’clock.
To New York
Many will be heading New York-
wa?d later in the year to attend the
World’s Fair. Up there this week,
however, on a buying spree for their
attractive store, are Mr. and Mrs.
E. A. .Carpenter. They were accom
panied by Mr. and Mrs. Jackson
Bowers.
Tournament Queen
The Charleston Azalea Festival
, program each spring features a
lancing tournament which is of up-
most interest to those who have
never seen one. Even those of us
who have seen them do not mind in
the laaat sitting through one at any
time. Many skillful riders entered
the Charleston tournament this year.
Each contestant had a sponsor—a
lovely girl dressed in a gown of
the days when “knighthood was in
flower”. The tournament winner’s
sponsor automatically became queen
for an afternoon—the queen of the
lancing tournament. Joe Bates of
Charleston was the winner. His
sponsor was Helen Mower, younger
daughter of Mrs. F. D. Mower and
the late Dr. Mower of this city. Helen
is a freshman at the College of
Charleston.

leigh Presbyterian church attended
the annual meeting of the Woman’s

byterial held Tuesday in Laurens...

pell, the largest crowd to ever at
tend a Newberry dance will be on

day evening of the Sesqui-centennial
celebration week.
GETS FIRST BATH
The reservoir of the Newberry
Cotton mill is to receive its first
cleaning in 55 years! The reservoir
was built in 1883 and since that time
it has continued to function, just as
it is, but the officials have planned to
give it a cleaning and the contract
has been awarded to H. K. Whitaker
and sons of the city. The work be
gins on Friday and will last for two
weeks. Thousands of little minnows
can be seen daily on top of the water
despite the hot water steaming into
the pond from the big engines of the
mill just across the street. During
the two weeks of cleaning the pond
the mill will be closed and many of
the operatives intend hieing away to
the banks of Lake .Murray for a try
at the finney tribe!
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED

the engagement of Miss Elizabeth
Ballentine to Harold F. Long of
Newberry, the marriage to take place
in July.
Miss Ballentine is the daughter of
Mrs. Carrie Ballentine and the late
John A. Ballentine of Newberry.
NEWBERRY DEFEATS P. C.
Newberry College’s track team de
feated Presbyterian College at Clin
ton 73 to 58 Wednesday by taking
nine firsts and placing in all but one
event. Lambeth of Newberry was
high scorer with 18 points. Others on
the local college’s team included Oli
ver, O’Hara, Croxton, Toole, Kitn-
mell, Shealy, Fullerton, Cappola,
Hardin and Forman.
Don’t bother to read this if you
are starving and can’t get help any
where. You are probably violently
opposed to our form of Government
and have joined the Communist
Party. That Party will promise you
food- and plenty and it will keep its
promise just as it has in Russia.
You can get food and clothes in
Russia, if you like dead horse and
the gunny sacks which the Bolshies
call wearing apparel. You can even
buy apples, if you hive more money
than you are allowed to earn. And
you don’t have to bother about the
hereafter and Hell and all that sort
of trash. Life is Hell all the time in
Russia, and you’re “suspected” if you
believe in Heaven.
Another nice thing about their
system is that there is no family
life. One isn’t bothered by a lot of
mangy children running about. The
state takes these off your hands and
weans them for you.
And you don’t have to mull around
at home with your wife or husband.
The idea is that everyone shall live
together in nice big wooden barracks
with the old stove crackling in the
central hall and unattractive gents
with long inhabited hair making
speeches about how happy you are.
If you should own you own farm,
you are known as a Kulak, and get
liquidated, which is lots of fun. In
fact in Russia the original five mil
lion Kulacks have all been given a
long, long holiday. Some of them
were even allowed their choice be
tween Heaven and Siberia. Most of
thm chose Heaven—and got it.
The Bourgeoisie, or shop keepers
and small business people, mostly
went to Hell—or so the Bolshies tell
us. But, after all, either one of these
resorts is a pretty nice place to go
after a season in present day Russia.
At least, when you’re in Hell, your
children don’t sneak around and
eavesdrop to see if they can win a
medal by reporting some remark of
yours which will send you before
the firing squad.
However, one doesn’t really have
to worry much bout getting shot
anymore, because there are very few
left worth shooting. Fifteen million
is the average estimate of those who
have been murdered by forcible star
vation, shooting, etc., in the last
twenty-one years, and now there’s
no qne left with property or money
enough to be killed for except the
leaders, and they are fortunately
shooting each other.
All you have to do to avoid the
firing squad—and die slowly of men
tal misery and undernourishment—
is to keep out of politics, keep your
mouth shut tight, don’t fall down on
the job you are made to take, and
don’t look crosseyed at your boss.
And just to think—all these won
derful things we can have and are
going to get, if we will just carry on
as we are now doing. Don’t take the
troubl^ to find out what kind of men
we are electing to office and don’t-
under any circumstances—write our
representatives and object to some
of the proposed laws which we don’t
like the smell of. Let the left wing
ers do this. They understand now
and are doing it daily. Besides,
their stamps are mostly paid for by
Communist organizations, where as
we have to buy our own.
Don’t bother to raise a kick when
our kids tell us of Red teachings in
the school, and by all means en
courage those of our friends, who
have turned pink and joined the
town’s Communist Club.
But, above all, believe all the junk
which is handed out to us by that
element of self-styled Intelligentia-
misnamed “Liberals.” Then, before
long, when we have our next peri
odic financial depression, the Reds
will take over the government and
we won’t have anything more to wor
ry about—for long.
There are over one hundred mil
lion real Americans still left in this
country of a hundred and thirty mil
lion people. They are the finest race
of people on earth—happy, good na-
tured, and too darned honest to be
lieve that there is a highly efficient
orgpnization of avaricious, ruthless
men and women working night and
day toward the destriuction of our
government and the confiscation of
our homes, our farms, our business’s
and even many of lives. These
Americans must wake up in time.
They must stop pooh-poohing ' the
idea that “It can happen here.”
It isn’t “majorities” who have
brought about the great social revo
lutions in History. It is tiny “minori
ties” who wait for the opportune mo
ment, and then strike with murder
ous force.

DOWNEY, Calif. . . . The Vultee YA-19, all metal attack plane, in
its initial flight here prior to being delivered to the United States
Army A r Corps. The low-winged monoplane is powered by a Pratt
& Whitney “twin Wasp,” 14 cylinder, radial-cooled engine. It car
ries a crew of three, -and attains a speed in excess of 230 miles an
hour. It is designed to carry 800 pounds of bombs and six machine
guns.
A preview on wheels of the
Southern Motorcade was in Newberry
Wednesday night, April 5. It con
sisted of an exhibition of the New
York’s World’s Fair and a large dis
play illustrating the sources of raw
materials and the manufacture as
well as the distribution of Arcadian
Nitrate of Soda. It was brought to
the city in cooperation with the ferti
lizer dealers, manufacturers and the
Barrett Company, distributors of
Arcadian Nitrate of Soda.
The local representatives of the
Barrett company Jimmy Daniel of
Columbia was in charge of the pro
gram. After some preliminary
statements, he presented Mayor J. W.
Earhardt, to whom was presented a
letter from Grover Whalen, President
of the New York World’s Fair. Mr.
Daniel then introduced Mr. J. W.
Pridmore, agronomist of the Barrett
company who explained the Arcadian
display.
In this connection, he pointed out
that this year, marks the 10th anni
versary of American Independence of
Foreign nitrate is a vital importance
to our farming interest. He said
that just 10 years ago the product
of Arcadian nitrate, the American
soda, was started and has since
grown to be a vast Southern indus
try. This Southern Industry has
freed the American farmer from de
pendence upon foreign sources for
his nitrate of soda.
American in every sense of the
word, Mr. Pridmore stated all raw
materials entered into this Arcadian
soda come from American Industry,
principally in the South; all its labor
from our American homes. From
Virginia, principally come coal and
coke for power; from Louisiana comes
the other raw material, soda-lime
base. The big production plant is at
Hopewell, 30 miles south of Rich-
'mond, on the James River, which af
fords an opportunity of moving by
boat both raw materials and the fin
ished product to various ports. From
these ports it is shipped inland by
rail and truck to fertilizer manufac
turers and dealers, from whom farm
ers oan get an entire supply of ni
trate of soda.
The establishment of this domestic
nitrate industry has brought many
benefits to , southern farmers in the
form of lower nitrate of soda costs
and in the quality of the product
and in the even weighing of bag. The
industry has given the American
farmer a wider market for the things
they grow since the many employees
engaged in the making of this Ameri
can soda consume products of our
farms and wear cotton clothes made
from American cotton. The speak
er pointed out that this is the only
nitrate of soda made the producers of
which consume the hams, and eggs,
and milk, and butter and other things
grown by Southern farmers.
Recognition of the advantages from
the use of this domestic soda is prob
ably one of the reasons that to many
farmers and others took such an in
terest in the exhibit and turned out
in such numbers to view the exhibits
and of the New York World’s Fair,
1939 preview, on .wheels, which is
touring the South at this time.
