Quite a stir was created when the
President announced that Thanks
giving Day would be changed to a
week earlier in November, coming on
the 23rd instead of on the 30th. With
the announcement came numerous
suggestions such as shifting Christ
mas and Washington's birthday and
putting a winter month in the midst
of hot summer weather. May we
add another by suggesting that when
our calendar undergoes a complete
change we make September the first
month of the year because this month
is really the time when everything

begins anew. After three months,
schools and colleges re-open for a
long session. Teachers have left or
come back to resume their nine-
month position once more. Everyone
is back on the job after vacations and
visits. The regular summer conven
tions and conferences are all over
and it’s time to buckle down to work
once more. Usual summer visitors
have come and gone for another sea
son. Church organizations that
ceased during the summer months
have started with renewed interest
and enthusiasm. Summer brides-
elect have been feted and feted again
and married. And once again the so
cial and civic clubs begin regular
meetings after the summer lapse.
Everyone has visited and had visit
ors, has been entertained and enter
tained. Now is-4he time to take on
the routine of work whether it’s in
the office, club, or church. Surely
it’s a beginning time. So why not
a new year?
Off To A Start
Also off to a beginning this month
is the local Country Club, starting
activities anew in a brand new club
house. The house was recently fin
ished and is said by many to far sur
pass the former one which burned
last February. However that’s a
matter of opinion. But the new one
is unique, in the fact that it has
every convenience imaginable. Cele
brating the completion of the build
ing, open house was held Monday.
The day’s events were arranged and
effectively carried out by E. A. Car
penter, president of the Country
Club, and Aubry Harley, chairman
of the entertainment committee. Ca
pably assisting Aubrey were Mrs. Le-
Roy Anderson, Mrs. Everette Evans,
Mrs. Ellisor Adams, Mrs. Dick Mims,
Mi's Jesse 1 Dickert, Mrs. C. I. You-
mans, Pete Coleman, and Dick Mims.
For bridge playing lady members of
the Club a party was held Monday
morning and eight tables arranged
in the lounge for the guests. Late
summer flowers in bright bowls were
used in the room. The high and se
cond high score prizes went to Mrs.
Price Padgett and Mrs. T. H. Pope,
respectively. Low score prize was
won by Mrs. H. B. Wilson and the
bingo by Miss Grace Summer. Ice
cream and cake was served follow
ing bridge. From 8:30 until 9:30 in
the evening a reception was held fol
lowed by a dance lasting until 1:30.
For the evening affair the whole
club was thrown en suite and gaily
decorated with dowers. Palms cre

the register in the lobby was Miss
Mary Sybil Evans. Serving punch in
the dining room throughout the re
ception and dance were Miss Mary B.
Kohn, Miss Frances Wallace, Miss
Ethel Harden, and Miss Grace Mower.
Members of the entertainment com
mittee greeted the guests on their ar
rival. A number of out-of-town
guests were present at the opening
including Dave Blackwell of Millen,
Ga., former active member of the
club. Large crowds attended each
event of the day, according to those
in charge.
New Supervisor
One visiting the local NYA home
on East Main street would be amazed
to notice the major changes that
have taken place out there under the
management of the new supervisor.
The home is now going forward “un
der flying colors,” according to one
Newberrian. Had those in charge of
the home where gills of our county
are trained weekly looked far and
wide, patiently ano long, they could
not have found a better supervisor
than Miss Gladys Epting of the
county who took over recently. Sel
dom have I seen anyone so thorough
ly interested in her work. Gladys
considers her place out there not
only a position or job, but a mis
sion. She has taken to heart the in
terest 0 f every single girl that passes
through the home and with her
knowledge of training, her experi
ence in public school teaching, and
most of all, her good old common
horse sense, she is doing a wonderful
job. Although she has been there
only a short time, Gladys’ plans for
bettering the home are rapidly ma
terializing. Telling all that she has
done, is doing, and plans to do
would be so much more than room
permits to relate, but we hear by the
grapevine route that big plans are
under way for open house at the
NYA home soon. It’s an event you
will not want to miss. Gladys is a
Winthrop grad and has taught sev
eral years in the schools of the coun
ty. She is widely known, not only
for her teaching, but for her splendid
leadership, her extreme friendliness,
and her deeply religious life.

Looking ’em Over
By LONNIE FRANKLIN
iNewberry is hard at work and fans
wonder how the Indians will go this
season. Coach Laval has about the
same team as last year only they have
a year’s experience a.id they were
the best of the Little Four last sea
son, so they should be again. They
are having work-outs twice daily, but
until hard scrimmage is started no
one can tell how they look.
Fans are interested more this sea
son than ever before and if they will
put that interest into football tickets
for big crowds there, they can count
on bigger and better football in a
couple of years.
The spear head of the running at
tack, Collangelo, is back and says he
is O. K. And that isn’t music to
other teams, while the other forty
men all look ready and fit to go.
Yes, we’ll settle for the Little Four
head this season. So Bill, you know
what we want and by winning it you
can keep the drug store coaches off
your neck.
Ramblin’ Round
Asheville got 27 hits off Charlotte
pitchers Tuesday and that’s profes
sional ball, too.
Reckon Hitler ever heard of the
Yankee Bombers? The Reds have a
date with ’em October 4.
Clemson is to be stronger, so they
say of Duke. Well, how can a team
untied and unscored on for a season
do any better?
Carolina as usual a Rose Bowl team
in September, another bunch of boys
named Joe in November.
Boston had won eight straight off
those Yankees when the umpire for
feited a game to the Yanks. Don’t
tell me—even the umpires think they
can’t lose.
Tony Galento stys he’ll flatten No
va if Lou tries to slug. Perhaps Lou
thinks if he starts throwing leather
he can’t miss the Beer Barrell.
Jack Dempsey telling us what a
perfect fighter would have to have
to stop Joe Louis. Forgot to say
Joe must be about perfect if it takes
all that to stop him.
Australia took the Davis Cup back
home. Well, few thought otherwise.
Even when Riggs and Parker took
the first singles Saturday.
Joe DiMaggio has a chance to be
the first 400 hitter since 1930 when
Bill Teny hit the charmed mark.
But did you ever stop to think
where the Boston Red Sox would he
if it wasn’t for the hitting of Wil
liams and Fox and Lefty Grove’s
great year on the mound?
'Mickey Livingstone had to play
first base for Springfield, so had were
they shot during the last part of the
season.
H\ank Greenberg to the Yanks—
what do they want to do? Make them
invincible seems to be the goal.
Here is one. They say bench a man
when he isn’t hitting. Well, Crosetti
of the Yanks played every game and
is hitting around .220, or the price
of a grandstand seat.

TAXPAYERS
Below You will find a Letter To
all Sheriffs and Tax Collectors
in South Carolina:
TO ALL SHERIFFS and
TAX COLLECTORS:
Section 95 of the Appropriation Act passed by the General As
sembly and approved on July 1, 1939, provides as follows:
“All taxes, assessments and penalties legally assessed shall be
considered and held as a debt payable to the State by the party
against whom the same shall be charged; and such taxes, assess
ments and penalties shall be a first lien in all cases whatsoever
upon the property taxes; the lien to attach at the beginning f
the calendar year during which the tax is levied; and such taxes
shall be first paid out of the assets of pny estate of deceased per
sons, or held in tnist as assignee or trustee, as aforesaid, or pro
ceeds of any property held on execution or attachment and the
county treasurer may enforce the said lien by execution against
the said property; or, if it cannot be levied on, he may proceed
by action at law against the person holding said property.
“Provided further, that in making levies and sale of property
of any taxpayer for the collection of any tax due the State and
county, the Sheriff or Tax Collector is hereby authorized and
directed to levy upon and sell any property of the defaulting tax
payer, real, personal, mixed, either or both, to satisfy any tax liei
as evidenced by a tax execution issued by the county treasurer
against such defaulting taxpayer, and the sheriff or tax collector
shall not be required to identify any property of the defaulting
taxpayer as having been included in his return or assessed against
him for the purpose of taxation.”
Yours very truly,
A. J. BEATTIE,
Comptroller General,
This office is preparing a statement to be mailed to all Delin
quent taxpayers who have not paid their taxes. We will soon go
out from this office to either collect these taxes or levy on prop
erty in possession of delinquent taxpayers, and will have to sell
same as required by law.
This county has one of the best cotton crops in years and the
price seems as if it will be fair, so please come in and settle up
your delinquent taxes. I am sure you will agree that the County
has been very lenient indeed in this matter and now show your
appreciation by paying your taxes without being forced to do same.
I urge that all landowners encourage their tenants to settle
promptly their tax obligations to the County.
C. W. SANDERS, Tax Collector
