PAGE EIGHT THE NEWBERRY SUN FRIDAY, MARCH 15, U>40 Negro Red Slaps At Vice President Washington, March 5.—While sen ate sponsors of anti-lynching legisla tion protested that he was hurting their cause, Benjamin Davis, negro Communist, called Vice President Garner an “evil old labor baiter” to day and accused him of agreeing with President Roosevelt to “scuttle” the anti-lynch bill. Davis, who identified himself as an associate editor of the Daily Worker, Communist newspaper, testified at a tumultous hearing before a senate judiciary sub-committee considering an anti-lynching bill already passed by the house. The measure would provide penalties for counties and county ofacials in event of lynching. The negro’s remarks about the president and vice president, and his reference to Southern members of congress was “stooges for the land lords and mill owners who degrade white womanhood by refusing to pay them a living wage” were stricken from the hearing record by Chairman Van Nuys, Democrat of Indiana. Van Nuys, himself a sponsor of anti-lynching legislation, warned the witness repeatedly against referring to members of congress and threaten ed at one point to call capitol police and have him taken away. "You crashed the gates of this com mittee just to try and send out Com munist propaganda,” Van Nuys de clared. “You have done more harm to prevent passage of this bill than anyone who has ever appeared.” Tolbert Assails Demo cratic Rule IN MEMORIAM A. Hoy Aull, Newberry, S. C. Yes, he is absent! He who was to us the light and life of our happy home. It was his smile that made our home so gay, his voice that made it eloquent with joy. His very tread had life and gladness in it. But ’tis gone, and silence fills his place since a year ago to-day, March 15, 1939. Solitude spreads like a shadow over all the walls and not a place, chair or book is what it was when he was here. We are proud of the life our father lived and thankful for the ex ample h^ has set for us. He left us just vmen we needed him most, but God needed another angel and called our loved one. Father was a kindly man—jolly, but fair-minded, full of courage, but without pretense. He was very thoughtful of us, both in deed and words, always ministering to our comfort. His pleasing disposition radiated sunshine and happiness in our home each day. We can never forget him—Our daddy. Mrs. Hoy Aull, Hoy and Dot. 1247 Hunt Street.

NOTICE OF ELECTION OF TRUS TEES FOR RIDGE SPRING SCHOOL SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 40 Columbia, March 5.—South Carolina Republicans of the Joseph W. (Tieless Joe) Tolbert faction will hold their annual state convention here March 27, their executive committee decided today at a meeting which gave the colorful political leader an opportun ity to assail the Democrats. “The Democrats have had this country, lock, stock and barrel, for eight years—and look at it!" Tolbert told newspapermen. “Look at the people begging for bread and some you’ll see sitting on the curb, with a little bag thrown over their shoulders, and the dust set tling down their necks, and they just don’t want to wok.” He said his group “wanted to help the nation get out of a bad condition” and was not simply “trying to fight the Democrats.” Tolbert expressed the belief that President Roosevelt could not be elected for a third term if he was a candidate. The faction will “put out congres sional candidates in each of the six districts of the state this year” Tol bert said. A petition having been filed with the County Board of Education by the patrons and resident taxpoayers of Ridge Spring (Old Town) School District No. 40, for the election of a trustee from Ridge Spring (Old Town) School District, pursuant to the terms of a recent act of the leg islature, it is ordered that an election of a trustee be held in Ridge Spring (Old Town) School District, at J.

ALL BUSINESS CONFIDENTIAL OFFICE HOURS » A. M. TO 10 P. M. DAILY & SUNDAY SEPARATE WAITING ROOMS FOR WHITE AND COLORED Aveleigh Budget Over Subscribed by $1,100; $4,500 Pledged From Pews Sunday Morning Significant in the history of Ave leigh Presbyterian church, after the budget of this church for 1940 had been increased $500.00 the canvass of last Sunday over-subscribed the bud get by $1,121.60. Total subscriptions amounted to $6,649.60 to the Lord s work through this church for next year. This singular experience in the history of the church is partly explained, materially speaking, by 3 things, 1. The increase in recent years; 2. the accumulated enthusiasm and interest in the church from evan gelistic efforts being made in the church at present, and 3. The very effective way in which the men of the church presented the Canvass last Sunday. The program of evangelism now in progress in the church has stimulated much interest throughout the entire membership, cqupled with a most thorough preparation for the Canvass by the Board of Deacons, un der the leadership of chairman A. T. Neely, the canvass was the most sat isfactory, thorough, and energetic ever. Last Sunday, with a record congregation present to participate in the signing of pledge cards, Dr. A. T. Neely., Mr. E. B. Purcell, Mr. LeOn Nichols, Mr. S. A. Williams, and Mr. J. N. Beard, spoke effectively and en thusiastically on their personal ex periences with the tithing method of sunorting the Lord’s work. Mr. Beard, of the A. R. P. church, gave an un usual testimony of how the Belk chain of stores, operated by a staunch life-long Presbyterian tither, is con ducted by tithers and tithing methods, and told how, through the terrible de pression, every store kept its doors open for business without a single failure. Instead of failure, it was building and opening up new stores, and at the same time giving away thousands of dollars to help build country churches thorughout the country. Each Belk store is required by the management to make propor tionate returns to a “Belk Memorial Fund” to be given away to the Lord’s work. It has given $250 to assist in the building of Helena church by Av eleigh. The paster. Rev. C. A. Cal- cote, states that he purposely refrain ed from preaching a single sermon on “money” during the season, know ing that his churchmen would do the job, and they didn’t fail. $4,550 of the budget was subscribed at this service. Twenty-six men met at the church Sunday afternoon to complete the canvass. Four others, who would have been present, were at their posts of duty in mission Sunday schools. Rev. Calcote sharply called the congregation’s attention to the im portant fact that the church had not been called together to participate in a “money-raising campaign,” but stressed the point of being assembled to worship, as usual, and on this particular day to worship AT WORK in undergirding the Lord’s business for another year. Aveleigh has al ways insisted that her giving be pit ched on the lofty plane of worship to God, instead of a bill-paying ne cessity. Two new members were re ceived into the membership of the church during the service. Three new deacons will be ordained and in- stalled at the earliest possible ser vice. The pastor will speak next Sunday on some phase of “Witness ing for Christ.” A record-breaking congregation being present last Sun day, it is believed another large com pany of worshippers will be present next Sunday. South Carolina Pres' ytery’s League of Young People will meet at Greenwood next Saturday, March 16th, 10 a. m. All the young people of Aveleigh are expected to attend. This is the annual Spring Rally which is always attended by 1' rge groups. POPE OUT AGAIN Representative Thomas H. Pope is again in circulation, having been confined to his home for some time.
