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.
