VOLUME 3; NO. 24 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE WHY IS PUBLIC INFORMATION BEING WITHHELD?. Anderson Daily Mail. Although census enumerators in Andei-son and throughout the Third Congressional District were suppos ed to have started their rounds col lecting information from householders and others today, an inquiry this morning at the office of Director H. L. Fulmer brought the response that the list of local enumerators was “not available.” That the trouble lies in the office of Dr. Fulmer is indicated by the fact that directors in virtually every other district in this and neighboring >=*f<tes have already published such lists. The census is public business, and as such the public has the right to know what it talking place. Especial ly should they be informed as to the identity of the persons who were to day going from house to house in terviewing residents. The fact that the list was being withheld by Dr. Fulmer indicates either gross inefficiency in his orga nization, or a malicious and alto gether unjustified attempt to with hold public information. The above is from the newspaper owned by disgruntled ex-congressman John C. Taylor. The whole trouble lies of course in the fact that the people very definitely kicked John out -—even those of his own county—and it galls him to see two or three bund ed people put to work by a man ap pointed by Congressman Hare. Mr. Fulmer’s office is one of the most ef ficient in the whole state and the fuming of John’s jerk-water news paper will not influence anyone. For John’s so-called newspaper to talk about withholding public infor mation will bring a smile to those who remember that two years ago that same sheet refused to sell Con- * gressman Hare space to get infor mation before the people of Ander- sofi county. It is indeed with poor grace that this politician (who is itching to run again) criticises the census office. Everyone who knows anthing of John' Taylor’s record in congress knows that “gross efficiency” would not begin to describe his record. He occupied a seat and drew his pay, and that is about all that can be said for him. His six years in congress was a loss to everyone except John. The information mentioned was released at the earliest possible mo ment after it was determined just who the enumerators were. Out of regard for any who might not be able to do the work after the test Tuesday, Mr. Fulmer withheld the names. They appear in this issue.

MOON PROTECTS THE PEACHES The following interesting comment is from Dr. W. P. Houseal, of Colum bia, the “Dutch Weather Prophet”: “In reference to ‘the frosts of the past few days’ as you say in The Sun, it is my observation and experience that two low (freezing) temperatures do not occur in the spring. “The weather clerk must wait until 1941 if he wants to pull such Easter weather again. Then too, fruit is never killed by freezing weather during full moon. March 21, 1906, I picked ice out of peach buds in my orchard on Cornelia street (Newberry) where I had three peach trees getting ripe each month from June (two in May) until October and I gave away 15 bushels of peaches ( that year. We brought 125 glasses' of apple jelly and 100 cans of peaches to Columbia when I moved here in February of the next year (1907 and •Mrs. Houseal did all the canning— using a soldering iron).” Thomas A Epting Thomas A. Epting, 74, was laid to rest Friday in St. Paul’s Lutheran church cemetery, almost in sight of the home where he had lived for many years. Mr. Epting died Thursday morning about 4 o’clock following an extended illness. The deceased was highly regarded in his community and took an active interest in the affairs of his county and section. He was for a number of years a member of the County Demo cratic executive committee, and was considered a successful farmer. A throng of friends and relatives attended the last rites at St. Pauls conducted by the pastor of the de ceased, Rev. J. E. Roof, assisted by Rev. Moses Kester. Mr. Roof used as a text for his discourse a scene from the vision of St. John, which he divided to illustrate several points designed to bring assurance and com fort to the bereft family. Thomas A. Epting was a son of the late Maj. Jacob Epting and Eli zabeth Kinard Epting, pioneers of the section in which he lived and died. He and his devoted mate reared a family of five children and he lived •to see them take their places as res pected citizens of this and other sec tions. Mr. Epting married Miss Anna Kibler, almost 50 years ago and she with three sons and two daughters survive. Surviving sons are Dr. Clyde Ept ing of McCormick, Carl H. Epting of Prosperity, and T. Hugh Epting of Columbia. The two daughters are Miss Gladys Epting, matron of the NYA home in this city and Mrs. L. C. Jumper of Black Mountain. A wealth of beautiful flowers was evidence of the esteem and respect in which the deceased was held by those who knew him best. Funeral arrangements were in charge of the McSwain Funeral home. NEED A GADEN CLUB F have been wondering for some time why Newberry doesn’t have a thriving garden club. If I remember correctly such a club existed here ' some seven or eight years ago prob ably headed up by Mrs. Derrill Smith, Jr. Anyway I remember flow er shows being held along about where the J. H. Summer store is now, in which Mrs. Smith had an active part. Newberry has a large number of gardeners who are experts. Homer Schumpert, Mrs. J. H. Summer, Miss Juanita Hitt, Hal Kohn, Mrs. Forrest Summer, Mrs. H. B. Wells, and num bers of others whose names do not come to my mind now. Such a club will mean much to the city and more to members who want to know more about gardening. A fee of say a dollar a year would perhaps be suffi cient to carry on the activities of the club, including a weekly garden let ter in the local papers. I will dele gate Hal Kohn to go ahead and form this club without further orders from anyone.' ZACH ALSO AGREES Zach Wright agrees that the old building in front of the Stokes drug store should be razed. He had read our little pieces and expressed a wish that it be torn down. Even if it should entail a little expense to the city, the job should be dlone. MRS. ADA PERRY Mrs. Ada Louvini'a Folk Perry, 71, widow of Robert C. Perry, a well known merchant of Newberry for many years died Wednesday at her home after an extended illness. Funeral services will be held at 4 o’clock today (Thursday) at the resi dence with the Rev. E. Bryan Keis- ler in charge. Interment will follow in Rosemont cemetery. Surviving are five daughters, Mrs. T. Boyd Jacobs and Mrs. Ruth Tid- marsh, both of Newberry; Mrs. Sam B. King of Columbia, Mrs. Louise P. Calmes of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Jay Boggs of Greenville; five brothers, M. Hayne Folk and Will H. Folk, both of Pomaria; Thomas W Folk, Eugene C. Folk and Chris tiana M. Folk all of Newberry, and one sister, Mrs. J. C. Crapps of New berry. Also surviving are seven grandchildren. SPEER STREET SCHOOL P. T. A. WILL GIVE SILVER TEA The P. T.

A short musical program will be given by the Madrigal singers of Newberry College, under the direc tion of Milton W. Moore. Everyone is cordially invited. MYSTERY OF THE 13TH MEMBER Claude Sanders is one of 13 child ren. A number of years ago when he was in college he decided to send each of his brothers and sisters a greeting card. He bought 13 cards and started addressing them and when Ke came to the 13th card he couldn’t to save him think of the name of that brother or sister. He counted them backward and forward, up and down, over and around, yet he just couldn’t think of that remaining brother or sister. After a lot of headscratching it finally dawned up on him that the missing member was no other than Claude himself! jGala Day At Park Is Sat for May 10th A May Day festival will be heid Friday afternoon, May 10, at Margar et Hunter park at which time the queen of the festival will be crowned : amid colorful surroundings.

Enumerators Start Work on Census Twenty-two enumerators began work in every section of Newberry county Tuesday morning, the first day of the big court of population, farms, and housing. Working in the city proper are: Mrs. Julia S. Wise, Miss Grace Senn, Mrs. Ercell Turner Hopkins, Henry T. Cannon, and Miss Bertha McCon nell. Propaganda which has been broad cast over the air and thru newspapers by certain Republican politicians, is to be ignored, according to census headquarters. The law requires that the information be given and it is apparent that the government is not going to spend millions of dollars for a partial count. Census enumerators are sworn to secrecy and the govern ment will not use the information for any purpose other than a check on the population, gnd wealth of the nation.

A large number of civic minded citi zens attended and many questions of vital local interest were taken up. The first experiment with such for ums was in February, and was con sidered a complete success. Many requests were made following the first forum that other similar meet ings be held in the near future. At the forum Friday night, the most interesting discussions were held on the question of a local airport or flying field, development of New- berry’s new woodland park, and dev elopment of the modern race track located at the fair grounds. Mr. J. C. Billingsley, forest ranger, with the U. S. Forest Service here, gave details and facts concerning the possibility of establishing a local flying field in or adjacent to the forest area on the edge of town. His remarks were received with enthusias tic approval and after many ques tions and much discussion, the group authorized appointment of a commit tee to carry such a project through to completion. The committee ap pointed by President Hal Kohn, is as follows: J. C. Billingsley, Chairman; Mayor J. W. Earhardt, S. C. Paysin- ger, T. E. Davis and Aubrey Harley. Conference Here 5th Friday morning, April 5th, officers rf the U. D. C., delegates from the Piedmont District, and visitors will assemble in the First Baptist church, at 9:45 for the annual conference. An attendance of about two hundred is expected.

Lawton of Charleston. These two wiH address the conference during the morning session. The public is cordially invited to attend the sessions of the conference. LARGE ATTENDANCE SUNDAY AT AVELEIGH The largest congregation yet, in attendance on Aveleigh’s program of the season, was present last Sunday. The service was dedicated to the youth of Aveleigh. The pastor, Rev. C. A. Calcote, presented to the con gregation the full group of young people there assembled in a reserv ed section. The choir, under the dir ection of Miss Frances Dougherty, was represented by the junior group of young people, recently organized into a Junior Choir. Infants Christened Within recent Sundays the follow ing infants have been christened in Aveleigh: Martha Dahl Harley, Chev- is Boozer, Jr., Eleanor Boozer, Mar- celle Boozei, Anna Coe Keitt, Thomas Barker Hollingsworth.

Communion Day Next Sunday in Aveleigh will be quarterly communion day when the celebration of the Lord’s supper will be observed. It is expected that the entire membership of the church will be present, as this celebration comes on the first public worship day of the new church year-. Sheahan To Speak The night of April 7th, 8:00 p. m., is a red-letter date for Aveleigh. Mr. Paul R. Sheahor. of Charlotte will speak in Aveleigh. His name, to anyone who has ever heard him speak, is introduction enough. He is an at torney and a Christian gentleman. He is president of the Pan-American Bus Lines. One of the busiest men in the South, but finds time to tell the story of how Christ can use a man who is willing to be used. In his modest, yet unapologetic way, he tells how the Lord has used him to bring more than a thousand souls to God. The impact of his message is extremely penetrating and impeachable. No se rious minded person, even lightly in terested in such a story, can afford to miss this eloquent address. It will not be easily forgotten. You are invit ed to hear him. HAL’S ADLETS:— Bl, that new found plant vitamin, of which you have heard so much. Try a 10c package. Fostoria glassware. 7 barrels just opened up. We’d be glad to have you see the new pieces.

SON OF NEWBERRIAN IS SUCCESSFUL ARTIST Grover Page, Jr., son of a former Newberry county woman, Gertrude Boland of Little Mountain, and nep hew of Mrs. Claude Lathan of this city, has recently caused a sensation in the world of art by his paintings shown in an exhibition n Chicago. This exhibition which included 28 oil paintings of various types, was sponsored by the famous art critic C. J. Bulliet of Chicago. Grover Page, barely 21 years of age is hailed as “the Moses who will lead Indiana artists out of the wilderness” by Mr. Bulliet. He lives with his parents in New Albany, Ind., and had his first exhibition at the Paul Theo bald gallery, Chicago, March 16. He is just out of Havorford college and Columbia university and his pictures show a modernistic trend. Speaking of young Page Critic Bul liet said “I have watched his develop ment over a considerable period of his young years and it will not sur prise me if he turns out to be the Moses who will lead Indiana artists out of the wilderr _ss. Indiana art is well-founded in its fundamentals, but doesn’t seem to be able to lift itself above the soil. Young Grov er Page, sensitive to painting and to music, may be possessor of the imi- gination that can make it soar.” Exhibition of the work of this young artist was held at Charlotte on April fourth. PREPARATIONS INDICATE SESSION NEAR END Special to the Newben-y Sun: Preparations for commencement in dicate that the current session of Newberry college is soon to come to a close.

Al though he is the busy pastor of a very large churqh, being foreed to conduct two regular services every Sunday morning in order to accomodate his large congregation, he finds time for other activities.

Dr. Foelsch is a member of the Board of Social Missions of the United Luther an Church in America.

Kinard on W. B. T. At 10:45 P. M., Thursday, April 4th, President James C. Kinard made a brief talk on the College over WBT Charlotte. $1 PER YEAR DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO This is Easter Sunday, with its message of hope and of gladness to a sin-stricken world. It is a dismal dhy with intermittent showers and lower ing clouds, but the churches 1 were dec orated with choicest flowers, and overflowing congregations heard the mesages from the men of God—the gladsome tidings of the Resurrection of Christ. Into every life there comes at some time a Gethsemane, and a journey of the spirit up Golgotha’s hill with the burden of a heavy cross. But there was only one day between the Crucifixion and the Resurrection, and an abiding faith now will work the same kind of miracle even as that of nearly nineteen centuries ago. Above all things that is what the world needs now—faith. Mr. G. H. Ruff is announced as a candidate for coroner. He is the first to offer for office at the approach ing election. Politics is silow warming up in South Carolina this spring. Or per haps it may not warm up very much this year. Such, however, would be a very unusual thing f >r this state. There is a great deal of interest mani fest in the national campaigns for the respective nominations by the two leading parties, but since the days when the late Senator Tilman begin his Reform movement back in the late eighties, there has never been so lit tle interest shown in State politics so close to the meetings of the Demo cratic clubs. ED. BLEDSOE Ed. Bledsoe, 58, died Friday at his home near Goldville. Among other survivors is a son, Alvin Bledsoe, who resides in Newberry. ADVENTROUS ANN A play, “Adventurous Ann”, a com edy in three acts will be presented in the Jolly Street school auditorium Saturday evening, April 6th, at 8 o’clock.

It was believed that some one stole the dog and efforts to locate him proved unavailing. About three weeks ago, Mr. Norvel was driving along the road in the Antioch section of the county. Ahead of him he saw a terrier that he thought was his. Catching up with the dog. he opened his car door and called, “Toby!” And Toby it was! The Httle dog bounced into the car showing by his many delighted demonstrations of af fection that he recognized his long- lost master. R. P. Fair left Thursday for Char leston to visit the F. D. McLeans for a week. Mr. and Mrs. Otto Franklin of O’Neal street announce the birth of a daughter, at the local hospital, Monday, April 1st. Mr. and Mrs. L. B.
