VOLUME 3; NO. 27 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, APRIL 26, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE POXY If you like the jingle of Kay Kay- er's piece about the “Little Red Fox”, you might enjoy this piece of business which was pulled on Candi date Dewey at the annual meeting of the Gridiron club, Washington’s club for newspaper correspondents: N’ya, n’ya, n’ya, I’m the wonder boy, N’ya, n’ya, you can’t catch me; N’ya. n’ya, n’ya, I'm the glamour boy— Infant prodigy. On each fine speech I work for weeks, Casting a binding spell; I want a chance to wear long pants And give the New Deal hell. N’ya, n’ya, n’ya, I’m the foxy boy, N’ya, n’ya, you can’t match me; N’ya. n’ya, n’ya. I’m the pretty boy. Oh, Washington needs me. NOW THAT IT CAN BE TOLD Since this newspaper has been charged with “malicious contenipt" against Eddie Dunn Richardson, and the case thrown out, at least tempor arily, a word in our own behalf might be in order. A newspaper worthy of the name would not “ma liciously” print anything to hurt anyone. That we were not mali cious” toward Mr. Richardson can be very well established by the fact that, prior to Tuesday of this week, we did not know Mr. Richardson from the side of a b?.m. We could not have very well harbored malice against one we did not know. If South Carolina had decent libel laws we would have said this long ago. But under our laws to have made this statement prior to this time would have been a sign of weakness, and we haven’t exactly weakened yet. We published what we had reason to believe was the truth, veri fied by the two county commissioners. If a newspaper had to delve into re cords everytime it printed a news story the reading matter of the na tion would be tame stuff. No, we wish Mr. Richardson well in all he undertakes and this goes for all our readers—except a few pet enemies. WASN’T WHAT I WANTED I departed from a long-fixed habit last Sunday night to go out and hear Pastor Calcote deliver a promised sermon on “Hell”. I was disappoint ed. He established, by scriptural re ference to Lazarus and the rich man, that there was such a place, but he failed to make the flames leap and the tormented souls cry out for wat er. He even intimated that hell might be some sort of place where the conscience “burned” with the misdeeds of this world. The sermon was all right but it wasn’t what I wanted or expected. ^ I want to hear one more brutal sermon on the old-fashioned hell of childhood. I want the flames to leap and roar and the devil to be about his business of ramming his pitchfork thru the abdomens of sin ners, babies and big ’uns alike. The early artists sent the babies to hell too; babies and voluptuous wo men, and a few men. At least that’s the idea I gained from the pictures of that dreaded place.. Now, all that picture has changed. Babies no lon ger go to hell, dieting women are no longer voluptuous and men go down into the earth to be reincarnat ed and reappear as alley cats or gar denias. How time has changed things! And tho “times change and men change with them” not all changes are for the best. Nobody’s afraid of today’s streamlined hell, whereas the old-fashioned hell brought many a sinner to his knees and fixed him a>n the glory land. It may all be ■a myth but the human mind is so constructed that a myth is often ef fective where logic is unwelcome and unavailing. In the religious realm there are only three classes and only two to be dealt with. Hell-fire is the per suader ini one section, reason in the other. The third class are Presby terians whose destiny is, of course, fixed! However, my knowledge of theo logy being only superficial, I will get back to the subject and conclude by saying if some local minister will furnish the fire works in the old- fashioned way, I will drum him up a lot of customers who need it and lead the procession myself. NOTICE OF CLUB MEETING Notice is hereby given that the Jolly Street Democratic club will meet at the school at 2:30 Saturday afternoon for the purpose of reor ganizing, and electing delegates to the county convention.

For a number of years, our stores have fol lowed such a practice, and many in quiries have come to the Chamber of Commerce regarding the system to be followed this summer. Conse quently, the Chamber of Commerce, last Tuesday, called a mass meeting of merchants to give every concern an opportunity to express its opin ion. The meeting last Tuesday was at tended by merchants both in favor and opposed to the summer half- holidav. However, an overwhelming majority wanted a Wednesday clos ing plan started in the near future. The group finally requested that the Chamber of Commerce issued a ques tionnaire covering the matter. This questionnaire will be presented to each concern in the down town sec tion by a special team of merchant canvassers. Newberry businessmen are requested to cooperate with these canvassers, signing and filling out the questionnaire as quickly as pos sible. The results of the question naire will determine the will of the majority of merchants, and further action by the Chamber of Commerce will be guided thereby. HIGH SCHOOL MINSTREL DREW LARfJE CROWD The high school minstrel Tuesday night was a big success. The music was furnished by Keitt Purcell and his “Blue Rhythm”, and the high school chorus sang several poular songs. Dot Thornton and Louise Wells did a tap dance num ber, and Dorothy Ross a toe dance. Professor James H. Pruitt played the saxaphone and sang, “Let Me ^Call You Sweetheart”, he was accom- nanied at' the piano by Miss Mary Layton. Keitt Purcell, Cam Wallace, Callie Parr and Tom Davis were the black face comedians. Metts Pant imitat ed Coach Hedgepath, Prof. Pruitt and Prof. O. B. Cannon. Charlie Bowers, Carl Ringer, and James Pruitt accompanied at the piano by Miss Layton, sang a popular numbe-. Margaret Duncan was the acro batic attraction, and Carl Martin played his banjo and sang “Starlit Hour” and “Balalaika”. The “camp meting” of black faces with Callie Parr acting as preacher and relating the story of the “Prodi gel Son” kept the audience in an up roar most of the time.

His subject was “The Abiding Spirit.” At the afternoon session the devo tions were conducted by the Rev. D. L. Heglar. Dr. James C. Kinard spoke in interest of Newberry col lege. The Rev. J. V. Long of Pros perity reported for the committee on stewardship and W. B. Shealy of Little Mountain, synodical represen tative of the committee on steward ship was heard.

JOLLY STREET WILL ENGAGE CHAPIN SATURDAY After losing the opening game at Peak, Jolly Street came back strong Saturday to swamp Stoney Hill at- Stoney Hill, the count being 12-3. Jolly Street ■will meet Chapin on the Jolly Street' diamond Saturday, April 27th promptly at 4:00 o’clock. As both clubs show more strength than last season a real battle is ex pected. This is the opening game at Jolly Street for Dutch Fork loop in 1940. Jolly Street line-up for the season is something like this: Sam Kinard one of the steady catchers and also a dangerous hitter will be behind the plate; Duck Boozer, a good catcher, will see much service; Kid Kinard is in for a good season on the mdund 'with Woodrow Boozer, who shewed well Saturday will be called on; Calhoun (Fox) Boozer is stationed at first base. Nothing bet ter can be said about this player than just Fox Boozer as sport fans know him. He is also team coach. Luke Sease at second a steady ball player with a throwing (arm and player at the plate At short, one of the popular ball players of Dutch Fork for several seasons, a fielder and a hitter, no one eke than Buck Bouknight. On the hot corner is Mendel Boozer a ball player that means something to any ball club. J. W. Wood seems fixed in left field; a player that any club should be proud of. The other out fields po sitions is a little uncertain at present with a bunch of good material are fighting it out. In all probability, T. L. Shealy, a former Jolly Street player will join the club and may see action in Saturday’s game. So there you are fans, a bunch of play ers will be fighting in every game, and Jolly Street feels fortunate in securing a club like the one you will see in action at Jolly Street.

Crooks, one of our carrier boys, last Saturday stumbled over a tub of water and fell out of the back door of his home and broke two bones of his right arm. This did not keep him from delivering his papers, how ever. Judging from reports received to day, the Democratic club meetings throughout the State Saturday after noon were characterized by a com mendable harmony. There was very little, if any, politics. The people of the State seem to be realigning themselves on economic issues—the vital matters of the real questions of live and let live. It begins to look as if, from the complexion of the de legates elected by the various clubs to the county conventions, there is going to be very little politics in South Carolina this year, except such interest as the people may take in the presidential nominations, and in the respective local races. That road machine which the town has bought and is now operat ing on the streets is a good thing for the roads. If it is kept busy the streets of the town should soon show a very decided improvement. The fact is that such a machine on the roads w’ould soon give us fairly good roads at least for the main roads of the county. It would be a good in vestment for the county to purchase a machine of this kind and put it to work. There was not the usual crowd in tewn the past Saturday. In many places the ground was dry enough for the plow and many plows were turn ing the soil getting ready to plant the crop. And it was well, because the crop is very much delayed this year- in the (planting. But if the weather keeps seasonable for a few days the farmer will do a whole lot of work. FIREMEN ENTERTAINED BY HOME ECONOMIC CLASS Thursday night, April 18, the Home Elconomic Department of the high school served a banqujt to the fire men and the members, which is an annual event, antf is given to show appreciation for the good work done by the firemen.
