/ Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 26 v The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE EDITOR IS APPRECIATED! All this talk about an editor not being appreciated in nonsense. We read of an account where an editor in a nearby county was presented a handsome bouquet by a number of fellow citizens. On the same occa sion, a quartet from a local church sang a few songs and the minister made a brief talk. After the minis ter’s talk six husky cit'zens carried the popular editor from the house and placed him in a model 1940 plumed sedan, and the whole town stood at attention—he was dead.—Ex. GARDENING EXPERIENCES I have been trying to garden a lit tle this year and the net results so far are S10 for labor and seed, a lot of hard work and 3 radishes about the size of small marbles. But I have a wonderful assortment of bugs, lice. womrs, and any other eating or sucking insects you might men tion. I tried dusting the cabbage with lime for lice and it was most effective—it killed the cabbage and ■fattened the lice and they immed iately jumped over to the spinach and chewed it to pieces. I have some more stuff planted for them but I’m afraid it won’t be up before their life’s span is over. I would hate for it to be said of me that I didn’t properly feed my bugs. I have been sorely tantalized and greatly tempted to chuck the whole business and' put in the time at some thing worthwhile like fishing. Very nearly every stroke of the hoe turns up a nice fat worm and somehow it just doesn’t seem right to let those worms to go to waste. My neighbor, Judge Blease, took the sensible view of the thing. He has a nice garden spot but he plant ed nothing for the bugs. He warn ed me back yonder in the spring that garden took too much time from fish ing, and now I know how right he was. However, I like to see things growing and right now the Johnson grass (I wonder if that stuff s any kin to Jim?) is most beautiful. I don’t believe there is a lovlier crop of it in the county and I intend to have an exhibit of it at the fair this fall. I also grow nice wire grass, perhaps the longest in the nation, and the most stubborn. WORKERS FIND $431.13 WPA workers excavating for a re taining wall around the Methodist church lot last week dug up a collec tion plate containing $431.13. It was evidently the Easter collection of some Newberry church as the little collection envelopes ail bore the date of April 7, 1820. Some of the bills bore the portrait of Jefferson Davis, and under the portrait was inscribed “First President of the Confederacy”. The bills were well preserved to have been buried 120 years and it is thought that the composition of the soil at this particular place was res ponsible, it being red clay. The col lection plate which was made of sterling silver showed little corrosion and responded to polishing very read ily. The old plate was found under about 18 inches of clay and there is much speculation as to how it came to be there. One of the city’s oldest residents, now nearing 90, said he re membered his father talking about one of two churches losing itsi collec tion, but the amount lost in this in stance was only $431.12, and so ob viously could not be the same. An other local citizen said he remem bered hearing his mother, who died last year at 102, talk about a church losing a large amount of money on an Blaster Sunday years ago. As he remembered the story, the taker of the collection carried his receipts out on the lawn to count it and wait until the preacher got through preaching The preacher was one of the old type whose voice rose to drive home a point and then died away to a whis per. The collector of the coin, caress ed by a balmy April breeze, fell asleep. Being aroused to partial sen sibility every time the preacher shouted he would paw in the ground, (being a ditch-digger by trade) think ing his wife was calling him to get up and go to work. By the time the sermon was over he had dug a hole two feet deep and it is supposed the plate fell into this hole and was in some manner covered up. This story sounds a bit fantastic and the teller does not vouch for it. He related it as his mother had told it to him. There are other stories and much speculation on this unusual incident but few believe the real truth will ever be known, since there is no whit- ten record and any living at the time have long been dead. Being unable to determine the rightful ownership of the money, it was decided that the best thing to do would be to return the money “from whence it came” and so it was put back into the hole and carefully cov ered. A copy of The Sun carrying the sitory of the discovery was buried Pamplin Station Nats Robbers Coin & Gas About three o’clock Wednesday morning Robert Dwiggins, who works at Plampin’s filling station on the cut-off was* held up at the point of a gun and was told to fill up a car with gas. The cash register was then robbed of about $28.00 in cash. After the thief drove away, Dwig gins notified policeman Tom Tong, who notified all nearby towns, and in 43 minutes after the theft had arrested E. D. Riley, Jr., who ad mitted the hold-up. Riley was drivifig a practically new Oldsmobile which he had stolen from Columbia where be is wanted on other charges. Policeman Tom Long and Deputy J. C. Neel left Newberry early Wed nesday morning for Spartanburg and brought the prisoner back and lodged him in jail, charged with armed rob bery. He will be tried at the June term of court.

LITTLE DAMAGE TO FRUIT Damage to fruit has been only slight it is revealed by a partial check-up of different sections of the county. The peach crop as a whole will perhaps be about normal due to the fact that the trees normally throw off a considerable amount of small fruit anyway. Early gardens suffered in this sec tion, all beans being killed to the ground. Foliage on irish potatoes and com was killed but this will only retard the crop as the plants were not damaged below the ground and will come out within a few days. The growth of all garden-stuffs has been checked by the continued cold. MT. TABOR LUTHERAN PARISH Rev. D. M. Shull, Pastor Mt. Olivet: 10 a. m. Sunday school. 11 a. m. The Holy Communion.

It is also reported that the A & P stores are seeking to expand their present store to include the building now occupied jointly by A. H. Counts and Reagin’s Shoe shop.
