Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 23 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE BOVINE OBITUARY There’s the one about the negro who was required by a government agent to make a report on a dead cow hy pothecated to these United States or some initialed subdivision thereof. The negro wrote: “He was a brown female cow. He had two horns. He also had a solid tail. He had one white spot on left hip. He was five years old. He gave about a gallon of milk a day. He doesn’t know the disease which he died with. He just lied down and died. The cow was name Lizz. He has one Ivttle bull threw cow in woods.” PROBABLY UNUSUAL Calhoun Times. We know little or nothing from ex perience in the collection of church money. The impression, however, has always been that it has not rolled in easy floods. The Newberry papers make this interesting observation. Last Sunday was “pledge day” in the Aveleigh Presbyterian church of that city. That “a record-breaking con gregation was on hand to sign- the pledge cards.” Rather unusual to start with, on signing away gift money. The up shot was that the pledges went eleven hundred dollars above the budget. During our happy days in Newberry, we knew very little about that con gregation as such, but the belief was that it was not large and rather sta tic, composed mainly of the upper crust. Aristocrats and Johnstones as the pillars of the temple. The John stones are now about all dead or moved away. But the church, the papers say, is not dying or dead, but booming. When a congregation of that size in a few minutes pledges six and one-half thousand dollars, it is evidently going strong. The press goes on to tell of the recent plane and practices which have inspired new lire as well as new blood in the up lift, It is always lucky when old pil lars are replaced by material of youn ger, more virile, more liberal, and more energetic than the old. Ezell Asks Compliance Forthcoming Census If some of the questions asked far mers by census takers seem some what personal, remember that these questions are asked in order to ob tain a better understanding of the problems of agriculture, County Agent P. B. Ezell suggests. The 1940 census of agriculture will be the most complete ever taken and should be the most accurate. In ord er that the information gathered i@ as nearly absolutely accurate as pos sible the county agent urges that farmers give some thought to the information which will be asked for by the enumerator. The information sought will con cent the farm itself and the farm operator. Information about the farm will include total acres in the fawn, acres in crop land, acres in pas ture, value of the land, value of buildings, farm implements, and machinery, acres and! production of various crops, production and sale of livestock products, inventory of livestock, and expenditures for farm operations in 1939. Information about inventories will be as o April 1, 1940, that about crops will be for the year 1939. Information about the operator will include tenure sta tus; that is, whether owned or renter, and days worked off the farm. All information is strictly confi dential, Mr. Ezell points out. It is unlawful for the census bureau to give out any facts about individuals from the census reports. The infor mation cannot be used for purposes of taxation or investigation. In short, it is only for the purpose of prepar ing statistical information relative to the agriculture of the county, state and nation. Sample copies of the schedule of questions pertaining to agriculture are in the county agent’s office. Any farmer who cares to do so may ob tain a copy and study it against the time the enumerator calls on him. These sample copies are not to be sent to the census bureau. P«ach Crop of State Suffers Little Damage Information from the upper part of the state which ships hundreds of oars of peaches each year, is to the effect that the peach crop has been hurt only slightly by the cold weath er of Sunday and Monday. It is said that about 20 per cent of the buds already out were killed but it was pointed out that the peaches are un usually thinned anyway and that the net crop would be about the same. Early peaches in this section where the blooms are not fully open are not thought to be hurt. Pears, most of which were in full bloom, will pos sibly suffer considerably. Frosts of the past few days will also have to be reckoned with in estimating the early fruit crops. THE RISE OF JERICHO” ONLY WEEK OFF “The Rise of Jericho,” a play to be iven by the Newberry High School 'acuity is progressing nicely. The play is a three act comedy and prom ises to present two hours of good en tertainment. This play will be given Thursday, April fourth in the high school aud itorium. Proceeds from the play will go to the high school annual and newspaper. The curtain will rise promptly at 7:45 p. m. Members of the cast are, Mrs. H O. Swittenberg, Miss Edna Hartness, Miss Annie Lee Young, Miss Mar garet Bums, Miss Harriet Todd, Mr. N. K. Williamson, Mr. J. H. Pruitt, Mr. George H. Cody, Mr. C. B. Rin ger, and Mr. Charles E. Bowers. REEDY RIVER ASSOCIATION (The upper crust as you knew it Bro. Dreher, has gone the way of all flesh, for most part, and people, just ordinary everyday people make up .this thriving congregation. But perhaps the reason the odd church, has taken such a spurt is be cause the Genera] Assembly has de cided after all these years that it is possible for Presbyterians to go to hell. You know the brethren lifted that fine old doctrine of predestina tion from the book a year or so back and left us exposed to the flames. While that doctrine was in the book we were satisfied to let the Bap tist, Lutherans and so on go to held; safe in the knowledge that we were •“not like other men.” Now, how ever, that we are in the same boat we are going to have to accumulate a little insulation against that terri ble place we have heretofore little dreaded.—Ed.) Social Workers Want Small Loan Bill MANY AGREE Response to our suggestion to the Civic league that it busy itself to tear down the old shell in front of Stokes’ drug store has been most favorable. An offer to remove it for the brick would have many takers, and every one down that side and the city gen erally would benefit. We have great and abiding faith in the League’s abil ity to get things done and we’re counting on them strong in this move ment. Perhaps the only reason the building has been allowed to stand thus for three years is that everyone has been waiting on the other fellow. TV other fellow is now ready to help; •only the initiative of the League is needed. HOLY WEDLOCK MAY SOFTEN THE BRUTES Calhoun Times. As a step, to a peacetreaty, be tween the Allies and Germany, such as it may be, when it comes, an old scene may be revamped in order to help. When Philip of Maeedon con quered Persia, he, with ninety of his generals and thousands of buck privates, married Persian girls. Bt was called the “’holy wedlock.” Philip took the wife of Darius, his enemy who had been stabbed to death. Why not such a marriage feast in this case? If old Hitler will forsake his spouse and hook up with aa» English or French bride, and the Allied leaders follow suit, with •German brides, thousands of the lower craft will be glad to duplicate. This would go further towards •churning a httle milk of human kindness in the bowels as well as hearts, and do more good than all the armaments they can muster in the future. It will also possibly stop them from stealing some more bil lions from us on loans in the future. TAX TIME EXTENDED The general assembly Tuesday ratified and sent to the governor an act to extend the time for payment -of 1939 taxes until May 1st without additional penalty. Approximately three hundred social workers and others interested in so cial work gathered at the high school auditorium in the fifth annual con ference of Social work of the Pied mont district and heard discussions pertaining to the various problems confronting this organization. The meeting was presided over by J. Hertz, director of the Piedmont district, of Spartanburg. The high lights of the meeting were talks by Dr. A. T. Jamison, of Greenwood, president of Connie Maxwell Orpha nage; Mrs. Marian L. Mell, Industrial Economist United States Department of Labor, Washington; Mrs. Flora J. Ellis with the Family Society in Greenville, a paper prepared by R. W. Arrington of Union Bleachery, Greenville, was presented and read; Disucussion by Dr. James A. Hayne, administrative secretary. State Board of Health, Columbia, and J. Roy Jones, State Commissioner of Agri culture and Miss Caroline Caldwell of Spartanburg, district membership chairman. One of the most enlightened and en joyable parts of the days program whs an act presented by a number of NYA youths under the direction of Mrs. J. H. Summer of Newberry in which the needs of the young peo ple was most forcibly portrayed. A luncheon was served at noon by the American legion auxiliary with Dr. James C. Kinard of Newberry college as toastmaster. Special talks at the luncheon were made by Z. F. Wright and J. Hertz Brown who de livered the directors annual message. The conference went on record as approving regulations of the small loan business as now before the gen eral assembly and a telegram to that effect was dispatched to them. An invitation from Laurens coun ty was accepted' for the 1941 meet ing to be held at ThomweU Orpha nage in Clinton. The Spring meeting of the Reedy River Baptist Association will con vene at West End church on Sunday, March 31, at 3:30 p. m. Rev. W. S. Brooks, of Columbia, will be the chief speaker. All churches will please send as many representatives as possible. The public is cordially invited. Jas. R. McKittrick, Model’s tor. MERCHANTS WANT FOOD STAMP PLAN HERE FORTNIGHTLY CLUB HAS BUSINESS MEETING Mrs. H. B. Senn was hostess when the Fortnightly club met for a busi ness session at the home of Mrs. R. G. Wallace on Caldwell street Tues day morning. Mrs. W. G. Houseal was reader and read two interesting articles from the Reader’s Digest, “Wilheminia of Holland” and “We Are Happiest When Working.” Mrs. H. B. Senn led discussion on foreign news, Mrs. E. G. Able on domestic news, and Mrs. J. N. Mc- Oaughrin on state news. At noon the members of the club were invited into the dining room where they were served a delightful three course luncheon. At each place was a tiny corsage of violets tied with lavendar ribbon, and the centerpiece was a large bowl of violets. TEDFORD LOSES FATHER J. H. Tedford, about 81, of Con cord, Tenn., father of Bill Tedford of this city, died last Sunday morning. Mr. Tedford left the city Sunday morning to attend the funeral. The upshot of a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday to consider the Federal food stamp plan was the following petition, or reso lution ; We, the merchants of Newberry County, in special called meeting, do hereby petition the Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation to consider our application (which was originally submitted August 8, 1939) as a par ticipator in the surplus food distri bution under the Food Stamp Plan. We feel that our low-income families merit the consideration given those in other counties and we, as a group of merchants, pledge our whole heart ed support in backing up the execu tion of any plan favorable to Federal Surplus Commodities Corporation. PROPOSES TO ADD 1.000 MILES TO HIGHWAY SYSTEM Columbia, March 27.—The general assembly’s free conference committee on the general appropriation bill would be directed under a resolution prepared by Senator Harman of Lexington to provide in their report for the addition of $1,000 miles of county roads to the state highway system. Harmon said he would introduce the concurrent resolution tomorrow. Stating that “It has been deter mined by the supreme coart of this state that funds obtained from the gasoline tax cannot be diverted” and that “various counties of the state are burdened with keeping up and maintaining their roads,” the resolu tion would direct the conferees to dir ect “the state highway department to add an additional 1,000 miles to the state highway system during the next ensuing fiscal year, and that said provision shall provide that such ad ditional roads shall be apportioned to the counties on the same basis as was provided in the act of 1939 when ad ditional mileage was added to the state highway system.” PRESIDENT MAY VISIT BUZZARD ROOST PROJECT Greenwood, March 27. — J. A. Gresham, president of the Greenwood chamber of commerce, said today that if President Roosevelt accepted an invitation to dedicate a building at Mil ledge vi lie, Ga., this spring he nrght also inspect the Buzzard Roost hydro-electric development in Green wood county CCC AND NYA GET TOTAL OF $67,450,000 Washington, March 27.—Despite cries of “how are you going to pay the bill,” the house today added $67,- 450,000 to next year’s appropriations for the CCC and NYA. Subject to final confirmation to morrow, the members ran roughshod over economy forces, adding $50,- 000,000 to President Roosevelt’s re quest for $230,000,000 for civilian conservation camps aid upping by $17,450,000 his request for $85,000,- 000 for the national youth admin istration. Count of Population Begins Next Tuesday Some 20 persons from this county left yesterday to attend the school of instruction for census enumera tors being held in Greenwood. The school for the upper part of the third district was held at Anderson last week. Enumerators should earn from $5 to $10 per day, depending upon their diligence and territory assigned them. They will be paid 4c per head for members of a household above four months old and 2c for infants. Farm schedules for this county will prob ably be at the rate of 25c each. The housing census, which will be taken along with the farm and population, will be paid for at the rate of 8c per dwelling unit, and 5c for each unoc cupied dwelling. A four room apart ment would yield the enumerator 32c, and eight room apartment 64c, and so on. Enumerators will be required' to work in territory other than that in which they reside, it has been an nounced, due to the fact that persons being enumerated reply more readily to strangers than to people they know. Taking of the census starts Tues day, April 2, over the entire nation and in American possessions, and is expected to last not more than three weeks. Wallace Approves Low Rato On Farm Loans Washington, March 26.—Declaring that 200,000 farm mortgages have been foreclosed in the last 10 years. Secretary Wallace endorsed “in the main” today a farm credit reorgani zation plan which would give federal land bank borrowers lower interest rates and readjust both principal and interest in hardship case. The bill, among other things, would lower 'the interest rate on both fed eral land bank and land bank com missioner loans to 3 per cent. They are now 3 1-2 and 4 per cent respec tively.

Rabbit hunting would be allowed with dogs only from September 1 to Thanksgiving Day in addition. Ice Cream From Cotton Yesterday more than 1,000 restu- rant men from all over the nation sat down to a banquet in Dallas, Texas, and topped a bountiful meal with ice cream made of—cotton! This new confection was developed by a young Belgian chef in Texas and is made with special meal and extract from cotton as a base. If the restu- ramt men look with favor upon the new ice cream, one of the largest manufacturers in the country, the Borden company, has agreed to mark et it. The new ice cream is said to be very delectable and very nourish ing. JUDGE LUMPKIN WILL BE COLLEGE SPEAKER Federal judge Alva M.

Fulmer, South Carolina, together with Representa tives Wall Doxe.y, of Mississippi, St< phen Pace, of Georgia, Harold Cooley of North Carolina and Sam Hobbs of Alabama, appeared before the rules committee today to plead for a rule for the consideration of the Fulmer cotton crop insurance bill. The Southern congress members made statement on behalf of the leg islation and the committee later granted a rule as a result of which the bill is expected to come before the house next week. The bill passed last July in the senate was the Bankhead bill it will, if passed by congress be the Bankhead-Fulmer bill. The bill was described today by the South Carolina representative as be ing designed to extend to .cotton farmers the type of insurance privi leges which have benefitted wheat producers under the government pro- grtwn. The cost of administration is paid by the federal government. The insurance premiums are paid by the farmers. Insurance carried on a cotton crop would cover three-fourth the value of the lint and cotton seed, baser) on a normal average yield over a five year period. It is designed to protect farmers from crop losses brought about by hail storms, drought flood and insects. Fulmer stated that insurance ap plications covering wheat crops in creased more than 200 per cent in 1939 over the previous year. He said that under the cotton crop insurance program government relief expenses would be greatly reduced, and added: "I am confident that within a few years crops insurance can be worked out on just as sound a basis as any other line of insurance.” CALVIN CROZ1ER MEETING The Calvin Crozier Chapter, U. D. C., will meet Tuesday, April 2, at fou o’clock at the home of Mrs. H. O. Long, Sr., Mrs. Floyd Bradley will be associate hostess. The roll call will be answered with the name of a South Carolina author. Mrs. Mary Hanrmell Sprouse. 48, wife of J. M. Sprouse, died at her home in Anderson Monday. The Sprouses lived here for a number of years, Mr. Sprouse being connected with the A&P stores as district man ager. They lived for a time in the Copeland home on Main street. A daughter. Miss Cecelia Sprouse married E. D. Evans of this city. ST. PHILIPS ITEMS Attendance upon night services at the church were small until Thursday and Friday nights. On Sunday we had a large attendance and the pas tor preached 1 about the Resurrection of Christ. Easter in 1941 will be much later than this year. It will fall in April. Many predicted an early spring but it looks now like it will be a late one. The ladies who intended to come out with their bright new Blaster dresses were disappointed and many were surprised to see the snow falling. Washington, March 25.—Revealing that he will make a trip to his home in South Carolina the latter part of this week. Senator Ellison D. Smith today warned anti-lynching bill pro ponents that he is prepared to fili buster against the bill, and opposed the position of those who contend that Postmaster General James A. Farley should resign as chairman of the Democratic national committee in view of his announcement to seek the nomination as the party’s presiden tial candidate. His comments on the anti-lynching bill matter came as the result of the action of the senate judiciary com mittee today in voting 11 to 4 to fav orably report the bill to the senate. Feels Filibuster Justified “This bill is backed by a group who have a complete disregard for the situation in my section of the coun try and who are bringiing this legis lation up only for the purpose of get ting a few more votes for themselves, no matter how much it may hurt some of the rest of us,” Senator Smith said. “In view of that I feel perfectly justified in filibustering against it.” The senator will have the sup port of practically all senators from the Southern states, in his filibuster efforts, although most of the anti lynching bill opponents are contend ing that they do not intend to launch a filibuster, but merely want to “have an opportunity to see that the legis lation is thoroughly discussed.” Backers of the bill, however, have indicated that they will seek to in voke the cloture rule in the senate when the bill is being debated. This would prevent a filibuster, but it is believed doubtful that the sponsors of the legislation would be success ful in their efforts to have cloture in voked. No Reason to Resign As to the Farley situation, Sena tor Smith said that he sees no rea son for the postmaster general to relinquish his post as head of the Democratic national committee, be cause he is running for the party’s presidential nomination. “There is no more reason why he should resign from this position than there is that others who are seeking the nomination should resign from their government positions,” the South Carolinian said. He praised the postmaster general as “a man whose word you can trust,” asserting that Mr. Farley always had played squarely with him and with everyone else in the party, as far as he knows. Senator Smith would not venture a guess as to what success Mr. Far ley might have in getting Southern votes at the convention or in the elec tion, should he receive the nomina tion. 20 YEARS AGO Newberry should have a Chamber of Commerce, and we hope that the efforts made at the meeting Wednes day night may bear fruit. In older to have such an organization that will be effective, arrangements must be made for a paid secretary who can give bis entire time to the work and one who understands and is fitted for that kind of work, otherwise it is useless to undertake an organization. But the money should easily be rais ed for this purpose. The read from Newberry to Dead fall is in awful condition, so reported Rural Carrier Wm. H. Eddy. Near Mr. Neely Long’s it is especially fear ful. Mr. Eddy says that travel along that road is a hard job owing to the many holes and the blue mud. He meets people stalling everyday, lav ing a rough time getting out. Peo ple passing have no way to get around. They either have to go in and get stuck or not go at all. Mr. Thomas Edward Epting died suddenly, on Monday afternoon at 3:30 o’clock at his home in this city. Death came to him while he sat rest ing on the back steps of his residence and the end was peaceful as he foil Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, from which none ever wakes to weep,” for Tom Epting was a good man, a clean man, kind and tree, a Christian citi zen who loved his church, his coun try and his home, and a gentleman in the highest acceptation of the term. He was gentle in his demeanor and his conversation was always elevat ing. News of his death spread quickly and it was a. shock to all. Mr. Epting was 64 years old. He had liv ed in Newberry since boyhood and was well known and highly esteemed. For the past several years he had- been with the Southern Bell Tele phone company, his special work be ing in securing rights of way for the company, at which he was succ essful. Mr. Epting is survived by his widow, who was formerly Miss Lulu Goggans; three sons and a daughter, Roy, Carl, Edward, and Miss Maude Epting; one brother and three sisters also survive. PATROL TURNS IN $44,200 CAROLYb NEELY SENN Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Senn of Rock Hill are receiving congratulations over the arrival of a daughter born at the Newberry county hospital, Tuesday, March 26. The little girl has been named Carolyn Neely Senn. FIRES IN LAST TWO WEEKS The fire department was called to burn off fields for J. D. French, Wilson Brown and D. W. A. Nerille last week, and sent trucks this week to “stand by” while trash was burn ed at C. T. Summer’s warehouse at the depot. Sunday night the depart ment was called to a negro house on Harrington street to extinguish a fire in a clothes closet. Saturday af ternoon another grass fire at Harrill’s field on Nance street. Wednesday morning another alarm was sent in to extinguish a fire on the roof of Mrs. Duncan Johnson’s home on Boundary street, which was caused by a spark. LEAFLET GIVFS TIPS ON TRACTOR TROUBLES “Tips on Tractor Troubles” is the title of a recent farm machinery leaf let prepared by M. C. McKenzie, as sistant in Agricultural Engineering, according to P. B. Ezell, county agent. Success or failure in tractor forming, according to Mr. McKenzie, depends in a large measure on the care and attention that is given to the tractor. Knowing how to make minor repairs and field adjustments when needed of ten saves valuable time and adds to the life and service of the farm tractor. “Tips on Tractor Troubles” presents in a brief way some of the common tractor troubles and their causes. Il lustrations in the leaflet give it unus ual interest and appeal. Farmers who want a copy of this leaflet may pro cure it from their county agent or from the Extension Service, Clemson, S. C. SCOUTING WITH THE GIRLS OF MOLLOHON “Hi diddle, diddle, folks!” I’m back again! As usual, the Mollohon Girl Scouts held their regular meeting March 18, 1940 at the club house with a splendid attendance and it was the same as the last meeting—somewhat of a planning- meeting of the things we are to do in the future, but things are coming to a head, as to say. The roll was called and the min utes of the last meeting read and ap proved. A beautiful prayer was of fered by Ellen Howard, and I’ll say nothing is quite so beautiful as a beautiful prayer. That being taken care of Captain Hawkins had received a letter and a card from somebody I’m not at ease to say, but that is how the meeting got under way. The first thing planned is to spon- j sor “Baby Ray and His Country Cou- 1 The January report of the South Carolina state highway patrol, an nounced Monday, revealed that total fines and collections last month were $44,292.55 and total salary and ex penses of the patrol organization, $24,530.90. The patrol turned $22,786.25 over to the state’s 46 counties. License collections, totaling $21,- 506.20, were turned over to proper state channels. Capt. E. Fleming Mason, comman der of the state highway patrol, said total fines and collections since the patrol began its fiscal year last July were $632,611.92 up to the present month.

Weda- man, of Pomaria, as vice-president Those attending from Newberry were, D. L. Wedaman, C. E. Hembree, W. D. Buzhardit, Miss Bessie A. Long and County Agent Paul B. Ezell. The beekeepers decided to hold a short course of instruction at Clem son college some time in August. D. W. Watkins, Clemson director of ex tension, commended the beekeepers highly upon adoption of a uniform jar and label for their product. One of the speakers pointed out that no other state in this part of the coun try had as many local or county as sociations as South Carolina. Stand ardization of products was the sub ject of another speaker. W. M. S. MEETS MONDAY The Woman’s Missionary Society of Central Methodist church will meet on Monday, April 1st.
