I *AGE FOUR THE NEWBERtt i o tj ^ FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 194o 1218 College Street Newberry, S. C. O. F. ARMFIELD Editor and Publisher One Year $1.00 Published Every Friday Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the post office at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. SCHOOLS GET A JOLT KOHN ARTICLE GETS NOTICE The followiner paragraph, taken from the New York Journal, carries a message that is of considerable inter est to many school districts and other divisions of local government where highly taxed private electric proper ties are being tiken over by tax-ex empt government electric projects: “Polk county, Tenn., will have to close its . . . schools and stop main taining its roads unless it is reim bursed for tax losses incurred since the Tennessee Valley Authority took over its local utilities. The House Military Affairs Committee has been so informed by Polk County Attorney Harry J. Schaeffer.” Items like the above are bringing many loocal communities to a reali zation of the fact that they cannot destroy their tax cake and still have it to eat. Government in business destroys more than the private companies which are put out of business. If we brought the question nearer home we might ask ourselves where our schools would be but for the taxes paid into the county treasury every year by the privately-owned utility serving this section. The editorial board of “We, The People” the year book of public opin ion has chosen to feature an article by Hal Kohn, president of the New berry Chamber of Commerce, written last summer. Mr. Kohn’s article was a “letter to the editor” in reply to another article calling Newberry the “hottest place in South Carolina.” Mr. Kohn’s letter proved conclusively that Newberry is by no means the hottest place in this state, and he backed his statements by figures and quotations from the United States weather bureau. “We, The People” is published by the Paebar company in New York and its object is to present outstanding letters of public-spirited citizens ap pearing in newspapers throughout the United States and Canada. The Newberry letter was chosen because it was one of the finest “voicing an opinion of vital public interest.” "Loyalty Day" at Avclcigh Sunday Aveleigh will observe annual “Loy alty Day” next Sunday in connection with the ever member canvass. Each year the congregation of Aveleigh avails itself of the privilege of sub scribing of its own accord through individual loyalty by being present at this morning service when an op portunity is given. This plan has proven quite successful in years past and the deacons of the church rec ommend it again this year. The evengelistic season now being observed by Aveleigh is making splendid progress. Very unusual in terest is being shown throughout the organizations. Every department is responding to its task and a marked increase in church attendance is plainly in evidence. PLAY AT HARTFORD SCHOOL It is reported -that Comrade Stalin and the boys around Moscow are not enjoying the winter scenery in Fin land very much. It was a little rough-looking in spots. Perhaps President Roosevelt went to Panama to make sure there’d be no shortage of Panama hats to toss in the political rings this summer. Man’s claim to being a superior animal fades when .ve see a dog iicking the hand that beat him. SOUTHERN SYMPHONY TO APPEAR AT HIGH SCHOOL The Southern Symphony orchestra will give a concert at the Newberry high school auditorium Monday night, March 11, at eight o’clock. This is the first full-time symphony orchestra organized in the South and its personnel is composed almost wholly of Southerners, among whom are many South Carolinians. The Newberry music culb and a group of interested citizens are sponsoring the concert. | The Symphony is conducted by the well-known Hans Schwieger, former ly conductor of the Berlin State op era. Schwieger has also conducted the New York Philharmonic orches tra and the National symphony. He is one of the outstanding directors of today. Special arrangements have been made to induce children to attend this concert as well as adults. Stu dents will be admitted at a special price of 35c. Tickets for adults will be $1 each. The committee in charge of the con cert consists of Miss Marguerite Bums, president of the Music club; Mrs. Neal W. Workman, Miss Rose Hamm, Miss Frances Daugherty, J. D. French, County Superintendent of Education C. E. Hendrix, and Hal Kohn, president of the Chamber of Commerce.

CMTC INFORMATION EARLY SPRING GUIDE ON CARE OF LIVESTOCK Providing for ample feeds and pro per feeding are the most important matters in attention to livestock in March, says County Agent Paul B. Ezell, in making spring livestock sug gestions. Animal Husbandry 1. Give brood sows special atten tion at farrowing time. Large lit ters mean greater profits. 2. Place sows and young pigs on territory un infested with parasites. 3. Cull out the unproductive sows. 4. Plan to plant some Biloxi soybeans for hog grazing. 5. Use barley, rye, and oats for grazing with beef cattle and hogs. 6. Give the ewes special care at lambing time. “Lambing time is the shepherd’s harvest.” 7. Prefer oats to corn when mules start heavy work. 8. Sow lespedeza in perman ent pastures. Dairying 1. Remove milking cows from lightly onion-infested pastures five hours before milking. Keep cows off of heavily infested onion pastures. 2. Clean up lots and haul off litter to destroy breeding places for flies. 3. Use some acreage cut from cot ton for more feed crops. 4. Silage and legume hay make ideal roughage feed for next winter. 5. Plant • ne- half acre per cow in pearl millet for summer grazing.6. Clear brush and apply 200 pounds of superphosphate and one ton of ground limestone per acre to permanent pastures. 7. Sow lespedeza on permanent pasture sod if none is present. Poultry 1. Raise baby chicks on new ground. 2. Provide feed for chicks in clean roughs and hoppers. 3. Get chicks into sunshine early. 4. Clean brooder houses regularly. 5. plant green feed for summer. 6. Arrange to procure stock for flock improve ment next season. The war department will conduct the annual citizen’s Military Train ing camp at Fort Moultrie, June 7 to July 6. Any boy of good moral character who is 17 years old, is eligi ble. The government pays all neces sary expenses. Last Sunday the pastor, Rev. C. A. Calcote, spoke on “The Church And You.” In the discourse it was point ed out that the Church began its pro gram RIGHT, for it was Spirit-di rected at Pentecost. No local minis ter sponsored the Pentecost move ment, but the people themselves went everywhere testifying for the Lord. The Hay-stack revival was started under a hay stack by two church members and consequently espoused by the “laity”. If the church is to experience anything like a revival of religion it will have to get into the pews of our churches, for revivals have to do with people, and the people are the “Church.” Because we, the Church, are increas ingly failing to obey the Great Com mission of our Lord, the CHURCH IS DYING as a result. Figures may mean much or little, but here are some that clearly indicate that the present movement in the Church is toward death: Up to the beginning of this century the Church in America was gaining faster than the population. In 1800 there were 10 churches out of every 145 inhabitants. In 1900 it was 10 out of every 45. But the increase steadily slowed up toward the end of the century, until from 1900 to 1910 the gain in the church barely kept pace with -the percentage of gain in population. The slowing up process continued until in 1920 our churches showed an apostacy to the extent of 144,000 in one year. In four years our Sunday schools shrunk over 6,- 000.000. The present piomise is for further worldliness and apostacy. The Church’s answer to the situation is more vacant pews. If the pews think we ministers should preach and convert people today as Peter did when thousands were converted and brought into the church through re- pentence, then let it be remembered that we ministers can do that yet IF AND WHEN our own people on our church rolls get out and evangelize everywhere as that Pentecost crowd was doing while Peter was preaching repentance. The People are the church, not the minister, nor the church officials. While the Pentecost movement may sorely need to begin in the pulpit and official ranks of our churches, it is essential that the people follow when leadership leads. The church is dying with worldly preoccupation, and no one seems to care to lift a voice in protest from the pew. Minor matters in the church can be strained at like gnats, while camels of Church apostacy, and camels of delinquent church support are swallowed without the batting of an eye. “Where is the Lord God of Elijah?” The service was concluded with a congregational prayer of con fession. It is expected that a large congregation will be present next Sunday.
