FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 1939 PAGE FIVE THE NEWBERRY SUN Society not l ei CHIT CHAT . (i)NnflNfE ArMFIEU) Visitors in the city last week and the first of this week were Mr. and Mrs. Johnnie W. Sanders from Des Moines, Iowa. This young couple seem to have had a most enjoyable time with friends and relatives here. Johnnie, the brother of Claude and Frank Sanders of courthouse fame, was born in the county, near Silver- street. His wife, however, is not from the South and she particularly en joyed their Southern vacation. We learn that she was quite fascinated by our so-called drawl and from her comments and expressions we believe she would like very mach to make her home here. ' Recent Wedding Among the many summer weddings in other sections of interest to New- berrians was the recent one of Miss Elizabeth Danner of Beaufort to Joe Taylor of Cochran, Georgia. Mrs. Cochran, better known here as “Bett,” was a frequent visitor in the city of Mr. and Mrs. White Fant, the Griffin Colemans, and the J. J. Langfords. The very first real party I ever re-, member attending in Newberry was one given by Mrs. Coleman honoring Bett who was her visitor. The couple are making their home in Georgia.

LABOR BODIES ASKED TO UNITE Columbia, Aug. 6.—Establishment in South Carolina of “an effective j progressive political organization”! was proposed today in a resolution adopted by a statewide conference of the Textile Workers Union of Am-; erica, a CIO affiliate. The confrence went “on record as calling all labor and progressive groups to join in a state convention at the earliest practicable time for the purpose of establishing on effec tive progressive political organiza- tiin in South Carolina.” The resolution was submitted by a committee composed of E. L. Tarlton of Columbia, J. Ed McConnell of Newberry, Boyd Carter of West Co lumbia, H. E. McConnell of Green ville and H. M. Branch of Clifton. “Labor and progressive forces in South Carolina have long felt the need of independent political ac tion based on a platform designed for the protection of the people’s labor, civil and political rights” and "labor and progressive forces in other states have established their own political organizations which have been a vital factor in safeguarding and extending these fundamental rights,” the reso lution said.
