Johnston of Spar tanburg is not a candidate for Con gress from the fourth South Carolina district, has never even thought about it and would not be drawn into the race under any circumstances, he an nounced here today. Johnston is in Washington attending the Democratic national committee meeting, and plans You Are RIGHT! Auto Financing is our Business We will finance a new car for you. We will refinance your pre sent car so as to reduce your payments-or We will make you a loan on the car you now own. to remain in the city until after the White House reception tomorrow that Mr. Roosevelt is tendering for the committee. Johnston was greeted by many of his old friends in Washington, es pecially in official circles. It also be came known here today that John ston has a standing offer to become an assistant to the attorney general but has repeatedly declined it rather than to be forced to move to Wash ington. Asked today if he would be a candidate for governoor two years hence, Johnston replied: “I may be candidate for governor. Of course, that is two years off, but many people are urging me to run and I may do so. I feel that I could easily win. There are many things I would like to do as governor to develop further our great commonwealth, and things which the people need. But I shall not enter any other contest. As to Congress, Mr. Bryson seems to be doing a very fine job. and is a natur al legislator. He showed his apti tude in this line of work as a mem ber of the legislature and his exper ience there serves him in good stead in the Congress.” Mrs. J. W.

ABRAMS, Auditor Newberry County Fruit Cake Altho fruit cake may be mostly for Christmastime, I like it any time. So I really was delighted, when, while visiting Mrs. Ben Epting, she served some that she had made. During the Christmas season she made seven fruit cakes, three dark and four white. “Believe it or not,” Mrs. Epting told me, “I didn’t taste a one of the white fruit cakes I baked, and haven’t had much of the dark ones.” I can understand that, for if she serves all her visitors as generous a portion as she served me, she wouldn’t have much left to taste. “Mr. Smith” I wonder if you who saw the pic ture at the Op^ra House last week, “Mr. Smith Goes' to Washington,” en joyed it as much as I did? It was one of the most educational pictures I’ve seen in a long time. It taught much to those of us who are ignorant about such governmental affairs. If you missed it, you really missed a good show. Not in my opinion only, but I haven’t heard anyone yet say they didn’t enjoy it, and I talked with a good many people about it. Pipe Trouble Although it’s nice for the plumber’s business, it isn’t nice for everyone to do without water on account of burst pipes. Whether it’s nice or not, how ever, many had to do without during the freeze. I knew there were a great many having burst pipes, but it seemed in credible to me that 60 per cent of the people were without water in New berry last week. We complain entirely too much about the things we don’t have, whe ther they are essential or not. I cer tainly agree with Mrs. Mae Aull, who told me that if all of us who com plain could go on her rounds as At tendance Teacher, we would never complain again. I’ve been to homes— or would you call them homes— where ten members of one family live in one room, and that’s in Newberry county. Whenever I can’t get some thing that I want, and start complain ing, it makes me ashamed when I know how much more I have than so many others. Night and Day While walking home from town last week, I stopped in to see my neigh bor, Mrs. J. J. Langford. She was showing me over her recently re modeled house, and we came to one room upstairs, which Mrs. Langford said was the day and night room. I didn’t quite understand at first, and she said, “Whoever sleeps in here goes to bed with the stars at night and wakes up with morning glories.” The ceiling paper was white stars on a blue background and the wall pa per was blue setting with pale pink morning glories. It really gives the “night and day” effect. Miss Constance Armfield, who holds a position with the census office in Anderson k spent the past weekend with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Armfield at Gildercrest. “Brother” Brown left Sunday for Detroit, Michigan, for a new Dodge truck which he will drive back, after spending a week in the city Miss Mattie Adams spent Thurs day night with Mr. and Mrs. Frank Adams in Columbia, while there she saw the picture “Gone With the Wind,” Says God Using Finns To Punish Russia Newberry High School Auditorium C. T. SUMMER MONDAY, Feb. 19th 8 p.m. Adm. 25c & 40c (From NEWS & COURIER) F. Theodore Rogers, managing edi tor of the Philippines Free Press, of Manila, landed in Charleston Tuesday aboard the Pan American Clipper as one of the first two passengers to make a trans-Atlantic flight to Char leston from Lisbon. The other man who made the full trip is Paul Fab- racant, of Paris and Geneva. Mr. Rogers, a cousin of the late Will Rogers, world famous humorist, disagreed with the crew of the clip per and described the voyage as very uncomfortable and bumpy, but was high in his praise of the crew for its handling of the huge air liner. His flight followed a tour of Eu rope in which h' 1 investigated condi tions. Asked what he was going to do with his information, Mr. Rogers said: “I might say something about it in Washington.” He left with the crew by train yesterday afternoon for Baltimore. “After running all around most of the neutral countries of Europe, as well as France and England, flying back and forth over the channel and escaping submarines, bombs and all the other weapons those barbarians (the Germans) are using, I found that England and France are putting up a great fight for our civilization, in order that people who want to live in a democratic way may be guaranteed that they can do so.” Has Seen Three Wars Mr. Rogers, who has been in three wars, beginning with the Spanish American, said tha most torching sight he ever had seen in forty years in newspaper reporting was the British and French fleets in action in the English channel. He paid special tribute to the British forces, consisting mostly of the seas safe from submarine pirates and murderers and their mines, scat tered broadcast by the cowardly brutes.” “Those men are working twenty- four hours a day and their lives are not worth a s:.ap of the finger, as their ships are blown up from time to time. But there in those troubled seas, open and free from the human sharks who hold that the seas belong to them, these men toil,” he said. Another touching sight he describ ed was the men of the British and French air squadrons, flying over Britian and France and even into enemy territory, protecting their own people from the enemy. “Two things this war has brought out very clearly are the superiority j of the British in the air and the marvelous work of the French navy,” he said. Often three British aviators contend with ten or twelve j of the enemy. Never before have the French distinguished themselves in naval warfare, but they are doing so in this war. God on Finn’s Side “God is fighting with Finland. I think God got tired of all this butch ery and savagery. God picked little Finland as the straw to break the back of that awful monster brute, Russia. Three million people are fighting 180,000,000 and beating. “My one greatest regret, and one I feel rather ashamed about as an American, is that we are not doing anything to help Finland, who is fighting our battle. We’re doing a lot of talking but Finland can’t fight with snowballs and ice.” He said one of the most pleasing remembrances was the predomin ant opinion among the ruling class es and the men in the street, in all of Europe except Germany, Russia, and Scandinavit., which he did not visit, that the people admired Presi dent Roosevelt and were hoping and praying that he might in some way help in “bringing at ut an era of peace, decency and justice.” On the voyage over, Mr. Rogers was reading “The Spanish Arena”, and pointed to references to his own writings throughout the book, which he had about half finished.
