Red Cross Chapter Aids
Destitute Negro Family
The Newberry County Red Cross
Chapter had an emergency call for
clothing, food, and household equip
ment on Tuesday. James Davis, a
colored man living in the Smyrna
community lost his home by fire. One
of the children, a boy 9 years of age,
lost his life in the flames: Jabes
Davis, his wife, and 12 children were
left without any of the neccessities
of life. The Red Cross telephoned
many homes in Newberry asking for
contributions of clothing. The res
ponse from the homes reached and
places of business was most gratify
ing.
Dr. James C. Kinard, chairman of
the local Red Cross Chapter, Mrs. J.
H. Summer, Roll Call Chairman, Mrs.
James C. Kinard and Maxcy Stone
delivered these many bundles to the
Davis family on Tuesday afternoon.
Clothing, food, and household fur
nishings are still coming into Red
Cross Headquarters. These articles
will be sent to the family on Friday
afternoon. Should there be other
persons wishing to make a contribu
tion please telephone 283, the NY A
office an<i your contribution will be
called for. The ages of the children
are as follows: Boys—20, 15, 10, 9,
7. 0, 5. Girls—13, twin girls, 4, 2
and 11 months.
Some of the money on hand at the
local Red Cross Chapiter was spent
for food and clothing. The girls at
the NYA home are busy filling a quick
order for clothing. The Red Cross
wishes to extend thanks to the many
people who responded so quickly and
to Mrs. French, Mrs. Holland Sligb,
and Mrs. James Stewart for their
telephoning.
An emergency call of this kind
serves to give expression to the fact
that Newberry is really a “City of
Friendly Folk,” ready to give assis
tance to any family in need.
ST. PHILIPS
It is said that the ground hog saw
his shadow and to the superstitious
that means six more weeks of cold
iveather.
Time has come which people
thought would not come again, as
cars are getting stuck in muddy
roads. If there could be some fair
weather for a while the roads could
be worked but it looks as if the bad
weather might continue. You can’t
feel safe traveling now unless you
are on hard surface roads.
There is a great deal of sickness
about in the community.
Some thought this was going to
be a mild winter but it has been the
roughest we have had in several
years.
Church services will be held at the
usual hours at St. Philips next Sun
day.
RADIO INSPECTOR
Examinations have been announced
by the civil service commission for
Radio Insipector at $2,600 per year
and assitant Radio Inspector at $2,-
000 per year. March 4 is the last day
for applications and full informa
tion may be had at the local postoffice.
Deputy J. C. Neel attended Fed-
eral court in Greenwood Tuesday.
Magician To Appear
Here at High School
A big indoor circus of mystery is
being brought to Newberry by the
Lions club and will be presented at
the auditorium Monday, February 19
at 8 o’clock.
The troupe is headed by THE
GREAT VIRGIL, premier internation
al magician and illusionist, and they
will present a mammoth full evening
show filled with baffling mystery and
spectacular illusions.
In addition to the many magical
effects and illusions, THE GREAT
VIRGIL, will present his mad-merry
gang of spooks, goblins, and ghosts;
a feature that he is using throughout
America to crowd the largest thea
tres and auditoriums.
Six dazzling sets of scenery, dozens
of beautiful costumes, special lighting
equipment and tons of equipment are
used in the presentation of this gi
gantic mystery spectacle.
If you have not had the good for
tune of seeing Houdini, Thurston,
Keller, or Herman, the Great Mas
ters of yesterday, don’t feel disap
pointed as you now have the oppor
tunity to see them all re-incarnated in
the appearance of THE GREAT VIR-
I GIL, the supreme magic master of
the present.
THE GREAT VIRGIL has spent a
life-time developing this extravagan
za of mystery and among the many
breath-taking acts to be seen here
will be: The vanish of “Simba” the
real live African Lion, The Beautiful
Hindoo Princess Asleep in Mid-air,
and Execution on Mars, The Famous
Hindoo Rope mystery, Hindoo Bask
et Miracle, Chinese Opium Den Mys
tery, Chinatown After Dark, Satan
Bums a Man, The Dissolving of the
Bodies of two Human Beings, and
dozens of others.
Julie, the psychic enigma, will be a
special feature with THE GREAT
VIRGIL SHOW. Julie is said by
scientists and doctors, to possess a
mind 4,000 years ahead of our times,
and will prove conclusively her abili
ty to actually read the minds of the
audieince.
THE GREAT VIRGIL company re
cently gave 28 consecutive perform
ances at the $5,000,000.00 Fox Thea
tre in San Francisco, California. The
same complete show will be seen here
in Newberry.
