SUN AND SON
By way of Harry Dominick we
learn of a publisher of a paper
named The Sun being called by a lady
subscriber who asked if her Sun had
been delivered. The editor told her
he was sorry, but that really she
should find that out from the doc
tor.
MAGISTRATE HATTON OUT
AGAIN
Bill Hatton, magistrate at Do maria,
was in Tuesday to buy himself an
other year of The Sun and reports
that he has had quite a spell of
sickness resulting from a combina
tion of colitis and malaria. Either
one is enough to bring the average
man low, but Bill seems normal
again. He was out of circulation
about 4 weeks, 2 of them in a hos
pital.
HISTORIANS ALL AGOG
Did the “Lost Colony” of Roanoke
Island, N. C., make its last stand
against savages and starvation on
a hill near the Saluda river, only a
short distance from Pelzer?
Is the No. 1 mystery of Ameri
can history—a mystery which has
defied solution almost 400 years—
in the process of being “cracked”
wide open?
If the inscribed rocks found near
Pelzer a few days ago prove to be
authentic, then the curtain of per
plexity is definitely on the way up.
So no wonder historians the na
tion over are all agog.
Some learned men have expressed
the opinion that lettering inscribed
on stones back in 1591 would be
weathered away by now.
But not all the stones found on
more. And it is exposed to the
the weather. Some were buried six
feet deep. Furthermore, there are
extant today innumerable examples
of Indian, Aztec and Inca picture
writing and art 1,000 years old' and
more, And it is ex posed to the
weather.
Perchance you’d like to visit the
place where the stones were found,
head out the new Greenville high
way, cross the Saluda river at Pel
zer and proceed about a mile until
you come to a tiny tan house on the
right side of the highway. In front
of the house, on the left side of the
highway, is a little road. It skirts a
cornfield and enters a patch of se
cond growth trees. Proceed about
200 yards and stop. The excavations
several in number, are on the right
side of the little road. The dirt
from some of these excavations can
be seen from the road.
These woods are the property of
Dr. H. J. Pearce, president of Bre-
nau college, and H. J. Pearce, Jr.,
of the faculty of Emory University.
They purchased the woods before re
moving the stones, thereby avoiding
possible litigation.
On the opposite side of the Saluda
river on a wooded hill was probably
located the blockhouse established
by the colonists. This hill, which
overlooks the river, is studded with
boulders. In one place these bould
ers are apparently arranged accord
ing to a pattern, obviously for the
purpose of forming the foundation
of a building.
A short distance away is a spring.
There is no spring on the hill where
the inscribed rocks were found and
it is not logical that the colonists
would have established a settlement
far distant from a water supply. '
The first break in the “Lost Col
ony” mystery occurred in Novem
ber, 1937, when a tourist found an
inscribed stone in a swamp on the
east bank of the Chowan river near
Edenton, N. C. Unable to decipher
the inscriptions, he turned it over
to Dr. H. J. Pearce, Sr., at Brenau
college.
Microscopic studies revealed that
the stone was signed E. W. D. (pre
sumably the initials of Eleanor White
Dare, mother of Virginia Dare) and
conveyed news of the massacre of
17 of the colonists and their burial
on a small hill near a river. The
message related that a marker list
ing the names of the victims had
been placed over the spot where
they were laid to rest.
If authentic, this stone represents
one of the first written records left
by Englishmen in North America.
The theory has been advanced by
historians that this stone was in
scribed by the colonists while they
were at the location near Pelzer
and sent back by a runner to be
placed on Roanoke Island for the
purpose of informing crews of the
supply ship what had become of the

The Board of trustees of Newberry
school district rendered their an
nual report to the citizens Friday
morning at the court house.
The report shows better average
attendance, due the trustees say to
the “good work” of the county at
tendance teacher. Enrollment in
both white and colored schools was
about the same as the previous year.
The list of failures was somewhat
smaller and this, according to the
report was due to diligence of the
teaching staff.
The report shows that new build
ings for the white schools costing
$24,000 have been completed; also a
$12,000 building for the colored
schools. ,
The financial section of the re
port shows an income of $113,614.-
42, and expenditures of $108,716.98.
There were above 2,500 white and
colored pupils enrolled in the city

STATE OFFICIALS REQUIRED TO
SIGN NAMES 1,750 TIMES
Columbia, Aug. 1.—The tedious
task of signing their name 1,750
times on highway b -nds today faced
Governor Burnet Viaybank, Secre
tary of State W. r Blackwell and
State Treasurer E. H. .Tiller.
The issue is for S1,750,000 in
thousand doMar denominations. As
soon as the governor finishes them,
half will be signed here by Miller
and the other half by Blackwell.
Final signatures will not be af
fixed until the two officials deliver
the obligations in New York. All
three signatures are necessary be
fore the bonds are valid.
“I am always glad to get bonds
delivered,” Miller said. “The danger
of them being stolen is slight, but
if they carried all signatures and
were lost or stolen it might compli
cate matters a lot.”

ORANGEBURG’S FIRST BALE
IS GINNED
Orangeburg, Aug. 1.—Orangeburg
county’s first bale of cotton of the
1939 crop and what is thought to be
the first bale for South Carolina
was ginned here this morning and
beat last year’s record by three days.
James M. Albersotti, cotton buyer,
said this is the earliest the first
bale has been ginned in this county
during his forty years of cotton buy
ing.
M. K. Jeffords, manager of the
Orangeburg cotton marketing asso
ciation, who has held that position
since the association was formed
many years ago Said this is the
earliest since the association was
organized.
Reports from over the county are
that a large and early yield is indi
cated. The stalks are consistently
reported to be of about average
height. Hot sunshine minimized boll
weevil damage. ,
Chamber Produces
Temperature Rating
For some time Newberry has en
joyed (?) in the press of South Car
olina the dubious honor of being the
hottest spot in South Carolina. New
berry welcomes honors when deserv
ed, but in this case, investigation
shows that the reports published un
der Newberry date line would make
it appear that we are sitting on top
of an active volcano, whereas, actual
figures show that, in comparison
with our neighboring towns, we are
comparatively comfortable. Figures
received from the U. S. Weather Bu
reau at Columbia, S. C., disclose
these very enlightening figures which
form the basis of a fair comparison.
Newberry’s mean actual temperature
of 62.9 Farenheit compares, with
Little Mountain at 62.2; Winnsboro,
61.6; Laurens, 61.6; Columbia, 63.6.
So much for the average tempera
ture. EeFs get'on To the’ high tem-'
peratures for which we have re-
cived so much publicity. Last year,
the temperatures recorded at Green
wood; Laurens, 103; Winnsboro, 101;
Columbia, 100; and Little Mountain
103; while Newberry reached 102.
The recent highly publicized New
berry hot spell in June shows the
temperatures of neighboring cities
as follows. 100, 100 104, 101, 104
respectively, hvith Newberry regis
tering 102. From the Weather Bu
reau’s report, let us quote: “So it
appears Newberry does not compare
unfavorably from official records.”
Newberry’s temperature as compared
with Columbia, would always be in
Columbia’s favor, since the Columbia
thermometer is placed on the roof of
the Weather Bureau where tempera
tures are not as high as those near
the ground. The Newberry official
thermometer is placed near the
ground. The Weather Bureau’s re
port goes on to say, “Now and then,
like other places, Newberry will be
the hottest, but this has never been
consistent in our records.
We are glad to be able to say that
our local observer, Mr. John Henry
Baxter, is considered one of the best
in the state. No one wishes to criti
cize him. His instruments, if placed
on top of a tall building, as in Col
umbia, would probably show a two
degree lower temperature on hot
days,
Therefore Newberry lays down the
hot weather laurels as being unde
served. We can gay with all modes
ty that we are deservedly “tops” in
many things, but not in high tem
peratures.

ILL IN COLUMBIA
Roy Cannon of Columbia, brother of
Henry T. Cannon and Professor Clin
B. Cannon of this city, has been ser
iously ill the past few days at a Co
lumbia hospital suffering from an
infected knee. Mr. Cannon, who is
in the tax commission office of Co
lumbia, has been ill since the first
of May. Following an operation on
his knee his condition seemed some
better up until his relapse a few
days ago. Professor Cannon, visiting
his brother, Wednesday afternoon,
found him a shade better.
LIONS MEET AT CLUBHOUSE
ON LAKE MURRAY
The Lions held their regular con
fabulation at their clubhouse on
Lake Murray Tuesday night at which
time a chicken barbecue was the
main attraction.
C. E. Hendrix, president of the

inick, treasurer, made his annual
report.
Chamber Seeks To
Save Soil Camp
Newberry county is about to lose
OC Camp 7, located near Newberry.
Official orders are to remove this
camp to another county on October
first.
This information came as a rumor
to the Chamber of Commerce on last
Wednesday. Immediately, the presi
dent despatched air mail letters to
our congressmen at Washington and
the Fourth Corps Area headquarters
at Atlanta. On Saturday, confirma
tion of this rumor came from both
Mr. Hare and General Embick, com
manding the Fourth Corps Area.
On Monday afternoon, a prelimin
ary meeting was held to protest this
move and to take steps to stop same.
This was an open meeting, to which
interested persons were invited to
meet with the board of directors of
the Chamber of Commerce to lay
plains to keep the camp, if possible.
Messers Thad McCrackin, Collier
Neel, Paul B. Ezell and President Hal
Kohn were named as a committee to
devise ways and means to prevent
the removal of Camp 7.
On Tuesday morning, this commit
tee held a meeting and decided to in
vite a 10 A. M. Saturday morning
gathering, representatives of the fol
lowing county organizations. Land
Use Planning service, Agricultural
Planning Board, County Fair Asso
ciation Jersey Cattle Club, Guermej
Cattle Club, County Dairy Associa
tion, Newberry Creamery, District
Soil Conservation Service, County Ag
ricultural Board, County Soil Oonser-
vation Association, Fjairm < Security
Administration, County Council of
Farm Women, County Grange, Coun
ty Legislative Delegation, Mayor of
Newberry, Rotary, Kiwanis, and
Lions clubs, American Legion, Coun
ty Agents, Game and Fish Associa
tion, Production Credit Association,
and the Chamber of Commerce.
This meeting will be furnished fact
figures tp support the contention that
the Camp is vital to the progress of
agriculture and dairying in this
county, through their work in ter
racing and pasture building. St is
the hope of the Committee in charge
that from this Saturday morning
meeting there will come a large dele
gation to personally present next
week our views to the regional office
in Spartanburg, to show them that
the great majority of Newberry
county farmers and others wish and
need the camp to remain in this
county.

HARE IS LAUDED
BY CORDELL HULL
Washington, Aug. 2.—Representa
tive Butler Hare’s work in the deve
lopment of amendments to the Philip
pine independence act and his defense
of the reciprocal trade program on
the floor of the House earned him
the personal commendation of Secre
tary of State Cordell Hull today.
In a, personal note to the Saluda
congressman, the State department
chief said, “I wish to send this per
sonal note to you to express my deep
appreciation of your defense of the
administration’s trade agreement
program.”
Hull remarked or the number of
times Hare had taken the floor to
defend the trade agreements from
attacks and lauded bis work in
the Insular Affairs committee when
that group was drafting the amend
ments to the Philippic independ
ence act.
These amendments, approved by
the House Monday, call for the ne
gotiation of a trade agreement be
tween the United States and the
Philippine government before the
islands become completely free of
American control. Hare and Hull
first became friends when they serv
ed in the House together and the
South Carolinian was chairman of
the Insular Affairs committee.

DOWN MEMORY
LANE
20 YEARS AGO
Chicago, July 20.—While troops
were preparing to march from the
armories a riot broke out at Fiftieth
and State streets. Many men, blacks
and whites, clashed, firing countless
shots, the police report said. Police
reserves were hurried to the scene.
Officials of the New York Central
railroad reported to the police to
night that in the negro district the
blacks were firing on all passenger
trains. About the same time the po
lice received word that rioting was
in progress across Thirty-first and
Dearborn street, near the heart of
the black belt.
We are inclined to the Opinion that
the rains are taking the -sand' do
Scott’s creek much faster than the
town force can haul it back. If the
heavy rains continue it will be neces
sary to increase the force of the
town, or we rwill never catch up.'
The annual college reunion will be
held at Little Mountain today. Gov-
ernor Cooper and President Snyder
are to deliver the addresses. Tf the
weather remains clear there will be
the usual large crowd. The reunion
at Delmar which was postponed on
account of the continued rains and
the bad condition of the roads will
be held next Friday and the same
program as heretofore announced
will be carried out with the same
speakers, so says President Ramage
of the reunion.
