72 Apply For Places
In Artillery Unit
Interest continues to mount in the
coast artillery soon to be functioning
here. Because of recent action of the
president and the war department to
increase the country’s national guard
Newberry is to have a unit within a
few days instead of having to wait
until April as first announced.
The Chamber of Commerce has tak
en the lead in establishing the artil
lery unit here. Hal Kohn, presi
dent of the Chamber, told a reporter
of The Sun Wednesday that 72 men
have applied for membership. When
the figure reaches 110 no more appli
cations will be received. Of this
number 58 will be selected for the
local unit.
“In normal times the unit will be
based at Charleston,” said Mr. Kohn.
He added that the members would be
in camp each summer for two weeks
at Charleston. The unit will include
the captain, first lieutenant, second
lieutenant, first sergeant, five other
sergeants, seven corporals, 42 pri
vates and privates first class, making
a total of 58 men and officers whose
combined salary in peace time will be
$7,000 a year, being paid for weekly
practices and summer encampment.
“The interest is high,” commented
Mr. Kohn. “Men up to 40 years of
age, some of them married, have ap
plied, stating that in case of war they
prefer to be in an outfit in which
they knew other member's and in
which they could feel at home.”
The Chamber president announced
a meeting Friday night at the Cham
ber of commerce room for all men
who have applied for admission to
the unit and others who desire to
join. Present at this time will be
Lieutenant Colonel Claude Smith and
Brigadiar General James A. Dozier,
both of Columbia.
“I* is presumed that next week en
listment papers will be ready and
physical examinations begun after
which the unit officers will be select
ed,” Mr. Kohn said.
The headquarters for weekly train
ing of the unit have not been named.
It is hoped that Newberry can have
an armory in the near future.
First Grid Game Here
Tonight At 8
By DON ROOK
Football fans in this section can
hardly wait till Friday night when
they will get a look at Bill Laval’s
1939 Newberry College team which
opens the season on the local field
against Catawba. The Redmen from
Catawba have had more than their
Share of success against the Newber
ry Indians in the last four years, but
when Laval’s warriors trot out on
the field Friday night the braves
from Salisbury will find themselves
facing an improved aggregation.
Newberry lost by graduation such
stalwarts as Masters, Matasy, Har
den and Cooley, but the squad gains
about ten well-seasoned players from
the undefeated freshman team of last
year.
The team has better balance than
last year and there are more and
better reserves to back up the first
stringers. Laval is far from satis
fied with the showing of the team so
far, and doesn’t think that the Indians
will make as good a record as last
year. But the wily mentor’s pessi
mism fortunately isn’t shared by his
squad, which is sure that they are
going places this time.
The game will begin promptly at 8
o’clock. In an effort to enable more
; people to see football at a reasonable
price, the Newberry athletic authori
ties have reduced the price of admis
sion to one dollar and ten cents
($1.10). Bill Laval is trying out a
very new thing for Newberry. He
has schedlled 6 varsity games to be
played at home, most of which will
be played under the lights. Laval
believes that the people of Newberry
will support football if they are giv
en the opportunity to see really high
class football at a price they can af
ford to pay.
The Indians will present a colorful
team this fall. The team will be
handsomely equipped in bright scarlet
uniforms. The field is heavily turfed,
thus enabling the fan to see the play
ers distinctly against the green sod.
Newberry has the best back in south
eastern United States in Dom Collan-
gelo. He will be the sparkplug of an
untried team—a team full of fight
and determined to win number one.
IS IMPROVING
Mrs. Willie Mayer is reported im
proving at her home on Nance street.
She has been confined to her bed
three weeks.
Reserves Decision
on Injunction Case
Hearing on an order against the
Newberry county supervisor to show
cause why an injunction granted
against him should not be made per
manent was held here Monday, the
regular session of court being post
poned until Tuesday.
Holland H. Ruff, the county super
visor was represented by Fred H.
Dominick and Commissioners Paul
Haile and Wilbur Shealy by Henry C.
Holloway.
The court heard arguments from
both attorneys on the merits of their
contentions. Mr. Dominick took the
position that the authority given the
supervisor in the 1935-36 supply bill
had never been repealed. In this
supply bill the supervisor was given
authority to hire and discharge coun
ty maintenance workers. In 1937
Commissioner Haile appeared before
the legislative delegation and asked
that this provision be ommitted from
the new supply bill which was done.
Attorney Holloway contended that the
repealing clause in the new supply
bill negated the provisions of the
former bill.
Civil court adjourned Wednesday
night, only three cases having been
tried. The session was delayed a
day in starting because of the com-
missioners-supervisor injunction hear
ing Monday.
In the case of R. Z. Berry vs. J.
W. Lominick, the jury rendered a
verdict for the defendant, Lominick.
Hearing in the case of Jacob O.
Schumpert vs. the Metropolitan Life
Insurance company began Tuesday
afternoon. Late Wednesday morning
the verdict came, $542.02 for the
plaintiff, Schumpert.
W. H. Brigman vs. one Chervolet
truck was the final case. Late Wed
nesday a jury rendered a verdict in
favor of the plaintiff, Brigman, giv
ing him $400.
Several cases on this week’s roster
were settled out of court. Among
them were the cases of W. S. Hatton
vs. Willie Buchannan, Greenwood
county vs. Mrs. Bennie M. Watkins,
James R. Leavell vs. C. A. Harvin
Truck Lines, Inc.
Continued until the next term of
civil court in November were the
following: Greenwood county vs.
George Brockenbrough, Marjorie
Nance vs. one motor truck, Eugene C.
Singley, et al vs. S. C. Highway de
partment, and the three cases against
E. Bartow Copeland being brought by
Mrs. Alma M. Thomas, Mrs. Epsie
Buzhardt, and Ortho H. Thomas.
S. C. State Fair Starts
October 16th
Columbia, Sept. 21.—With the
State Fair still weeks away, every
thing is in readiness in Columbia for
the gala event which takes place Oc
tober 16-21. Paul V. Moore, the sec
retary, says that there is nothing left
to be done except those things that of
necessity must be done at the last
minute. Old fair people have re
marked often how the state fair is so
well planned, with everything pos
sible done early, that there is very
little rush and push at the time the
fair opens. Mr. Moore believes in
advance work, thoroughly done.
Of course, each fair is expected to
be “bigger and better than ever”, but
Mr. Moore says, the saying was never
truer than for 1939. He is greatly
pleased with the wonderful exhibits,
the magnificant shows, and the other
things that have been arranged for
the education and entertainment of
the thousands of South Carolinians,
who will come to Columbia the week
of October 16.

The South Carolina Highway de
partment sets up its inspection unit

Maybank Has Plans For
Free School Books
COLUMBIA, Sept. 19.—A prospec
tive plan under which free textbooks
would be provided for all school
children in South Carolina from the
first through the seventh grades has
been formulated and will be present
ed to the state board of education
October 5, it was announced today by
Governor Burnet Maybank.
Should this plan be approved by
the board and then enacted into law
by the general assembly, South Caro
lina for the first time would provide
all children through the seventh
grade with free textbooks.
“I am in favor of free textbooks
through the seventh grade,” the gov
ernor said, “and I will recommend the
adoption of the plan that has beep
worked out.”
The governor made his announce
ment after a conference with James
H. Hope, state superintendent of edu
cation and J. D. Robinson, director of
the present school textbook rental
system, which is administered by the
school book commission of the state.
“By using the assets we now have
and by providing additional funds
of not more than $150,000,” May-
bank said, ‘the plan can be put in
operation.”
“I believe we should provide free
textbookes,” the governor said, “as
a means of making all our people
literate. We are hopeful that this
plan can be approved by the board
of education and adopted by the leg
islature at the next session. I will
so recommend. I believe that the
people should be educated.”
Hare Declares For
Neutral Position
GREENWOOD, Sept 18. — Con
gressman Butler B. Hare said in an
interview here Saturday that if there
is no change in the neutrality bill
providing for the cash-and-carry plan,
which is expected will be brought up
at the special session of congress con
vening next Thursday, that he will
vote for it as he did at the last ses
sion when it failed to pass.
"In short”, Mr. Hare explained,
“the bill provides that this country
will sell anything we may have to
warring nations provided they will
pay cash for it, take title to it and
assume full responsibility for its
transportation. President Roosevelt
and Secretary of State Hull urged its
passage at the last session of con
gress.
“Of course, the theory of this legis
lation is that it will come nearer
keeping us from being involved in
war than any other plan proposed.
My opinion is that the United States
will not get in it, and I am quite cer
tain it will not until a majority of the
people want it.”
The third district representative
was asked: “Do you think congress
should stay in continuous session af
ter the neutrality bill is disposed of?”
“No,” he replied, “I think it should
adjourn at once. I think it would
be bad psychology for congress to
remain in session. It would have the
appearance of congress waiting for
an opportunity to take further action
When everybody knows that practi
cally every member of congress wants
to stay out of the European war. We
don’t want to give Europe the impres
sion we are just writing for an op
portunity to get into it.”

Festival at St. Luke's
Newberry college will open this
week and the enrollment already is
such as to tax the capacity of the
dormitory and the boarding places.
Mr. G. S. Enlow of the St. Philips
community had a pumpkin vine to
spiring up in his potato patch as a
sort of volunteer, and he let it alone
and let it grow; it produced 34 pump
kins, together weighing 555 pounds.
That was some “gourd vine,” but
what would it have done had it been
a pet and been given some work and
attention. But it did well enough.
Captain Joe Werts of the city
street department is cutting down
the grass and weeds and cleaning out
the ditches along Boundary street,
and he has helped the looks of things
somewhat; we hope the rains will not
wash away his work in so short a
time. And they are cutting down
the beautiful trees along side the
Central Methodist Church lot pre
paratory to placing paved sidewalks
along the way all around the square.
We need to keep up this goodwork.

for several years. From Bamberg he
went to Columbia to work in the
mail service and here he continued
until the past spring when he was
compelled to give up his work on ac
count of his health. Through his
long suffering we hope he has won
the crown of glory.
The farmers are now almost

had some fine weather to father it.
This morning looks tike there might

that it will not be severe.
