V VOLUME 3; NO. 28 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG ^ THE PEOPLE TAKING ISSUE WITH THE DOCTOR With fear and trembling I dare take issue with the keen-witted Dr. Kinard over a statement attributed to him in the ores* last week. The doctor i« reported to have said that one cou'd no* be a good citizen with out beir r a Christian. To m ntion no other, just how is the doe* ar going to dispose of the j eW s—those people “chosen” from the beginnir g as the elect of the world? Can nol any "-ood citizen come out of Jude-'h? Only an occasional Jew strays into the Christian fold and tho I think the Jew is “chosen” large ly because he did the writing him self, it cannot be gainsaid that he is not for the most part a “good citizen.” Good citizenship springs ou)t of morality and morality is not reli gion, but a by-product of religion. Man will transgress the laws of God with impunity, but he respects the moral Irw. He wants the esteem of his neighbor but God is “way up yonder” and can’t talk about him. The line of demarcation between religion and morality is indeed faint, but it’s there. A man can be a good •citizen by adhering to the accepted virtues, but to be a Christian he must embrace these, plus the tenets of the church. The doctor discounts morality when he implies that a moral man cannot be a good citizen. The Christian is moral for morality’s sake and might be said to be a BETTER citizen, but it does not follow that the non-Chris tian cannot obey the laws of man and society and be looked upon as a good man. Morality is a guarantee of good citizenship but religion is not, as sad as that may seem. An example of this may be found in one of the great religious leaders of his time and of the world. The Hebrew King David was a great religious leader but we find that a bathing beauty washing herself just outside his win dow caused him to turn murderer and have slain an innocent man. Now, if David had been a plain old-fash ioned moral man he would have pull ed down the shade and gone on about his business. This is just one ex ample. There have been many other religious leaders, even down to this •good day, who simply couldn’t stand the pressure of a well-turned ankle. The moral man does not desert his morality, for immorality has no ap peal for him; the flesh pots are frequented by the so-called religious and those who profess neither morali ty nor religion. The true Christian is the highest type of citizen, but since we will never have but few of him society must put a high value on morality. We must live with each other; it is the concern of each individual how he dies. SUPERVISED PLAY I sometimes wonder what I would have been like today had I had the advantage of supervised play which kids have today. “As a twig is bent, etc.” is largely truth, and play is, or should be, a large part of a child’s life. Boys of my youth got their fun largely out of cussin’, smoking and spittin*. The boy who did not have a gap between his front teeth through which he could squirt tobacco juice a respectable distance didn’t rate at all; that is, unless he was able to maJce up his deficiency in his ability to cuss. We had one particular bridge under which we repaired for sessions of profanity and spittin’. This spot had near a brick yard operated by one of the most poetic cussers of that bucolic age. The old man had two little mules and four boys, all as stubborn as the devil himself, but brick came steadily from the little mill under the urge of his beautiful profanity. No one could have re mained indifferent under his lashing of brimstone. I have every reason to remember this spot for it was here in the midst of a session in which I held the floor jurith a wad of “Mule” in my jaw that rti? dad suddenly peered over the .edge of the bridge and asked: “What that you say?" Well, there was only •one color to turn and I turned it. That night another part of my ana tomy waa brought into harmony with .•a razor strap. But even at that I ■didn’t stop cussin’, nor did an occa sional lidking jn any way lower my ■estimation of a good cusser. There was one boy who didn’t be long to our gang but on whom we .called at times to pep up the meet ing. He lived a couple of miles from town in a “bad” section and was trained in cussin’ and spittin’ at his mother’s knee. The old lady “chaw- ,ed” incessantly and what was good Tor her was good enough for her 10 kids. The boy’s old man was a trap per specializing in wild eats. The t>oy was a perfect chip off of this un- fcioly union and you may imagine Newberry Students Win State Honors Winners in the High School Week finals which were held at the Uni versity of South Carolina in Colum bia last week are as follows; Helen Juanita Kibler, French; Jean Car- roll, Martha Ella Mayer and Becky Nell Stewart, junior Laxin; Edna Louise Bowers and Henry Thompson Cannon, Jr., senior Latin; Harold Othell Miller, biology’; Curtiss Robert Gatlin, general science; Jean Carroll and James Brown Peery, junior al gebra; Jane Summer, short story. Whitmire in district two was one of five out of nine districts to win a medal for 100 per cent membership in the High School League. ATTENDED FIRE COLLEGE IN BATON ROUGE Burton Wells returned last week end from attendance upon the Louis iana State Fire college, which was held at Baton Rouge. The sessions of the college lasted for a full week. Mr. Wells reports that his trip was well worth while. Modem methods of dealing with fires were explained by instructors of long experience. On May 8, 9, and 10 Mr. Wells will attend the Georgia State Fire college in Atlanta. He is on the program for a discussion on fire prevention. His talk will be illustrated with motion pictures, many of them in color, tak en at the scene of local fires. Mr. Wells has some particularly good pictures of the Chapman lumber company fire and the Drayton street school fire. DICKERT WITH PAUL HAILE Newton Dickert is now employed with the P&ul Haile filling station and grocery on Nance street. Mr. Dickert is an experienced grocery man, having been in the employ of Mims Jones at Oakland for about 12 years. there was no word in profanity’s cat alog he did not know. Following a very successful session under our favorite bridge with this boy as master of ceremonies, I was so charged with iniquity that I dreamed that night of an encouter with a huge snage. I must have been an apt pupil from what dad said as he reached for his favorite razor strap that morning. “Anybody who cusses in his sleep, cusses when he’s awake” he reasonably opinied and without further ado proceeded to carry out the Biblican injunction on spoiling children. I might have been re deemed but I was physically and emotionally wrecked. NEWBERRIAN DID THE JOB The big new Wade Hampton hotel which opened for business in Colum bia this week is the work of a New berry boy, Earl E. Childs. The Wade Hampton is one of the finest hotels in the country and is located just across from the State House. Mr. Childs is well known in Nexvberry, being a native of the Whitmire section. He was for a number of years manager of the mill at Whit mire, and is a brother of Mrs. Hugh Boyd. Now that he has finished with his hotel maybe he could be per suaded to come back to the old home county, at least temporarily and pro mote something for us. WE GET RESULTS Pastor Calcote has promised to de liver that sermon I asked for last week. Now it’s up to me to get up the customers and I am appealing to you and you, and you. The sermon will be on the old-fashioned lines with the old-time gospel songs which will make the rafters shake and fellow ship flow in copious quantity. There is nothing like an old-time “meeting” to knock the false pride out of us and make us realize that we are all brothers seeking a common end. The Pastor has promised to strip hell of all its modem trappings and put it right back where it was in the beginning, and we will all want to hear that. The exact date will be announced later, and we will be having some thing to say about it here until that time, so that you may be making your plans to be there. KNEW HIM ONLY CASUALLY Census takers are getting many chuckles among their Negro clients. One relates going to a house in which there were several children, all with a different daddy, and daddy in most cases in parts unknown. An other relates a story about a girl encountered who had a young baby. When asked who the child’s father was the girl replied: “I jes’ don’t remember; I wasn’t very intimate with that nigger.” READS ALL OF IT Jim Duncan, in the other day to set up his paper for another year re marked: “I read it; I read everything in it, from front to back.” Well, Jim’s been doing that ever since we started so there must be SOME THING in it worth while every week. And of course, Mr. Merchant, Jim in cludes the advertisements. County Convention Meets Here Monday The county Democratic convention will meet at the court house here Monday morning at II o’clock. The convention is made up of delegates from the 51 clubs in the county ,one delegate for each 25 members or voters. The convention will elect eight del egates to the State convention which meets in Columbia on May 15. A member of the State executive committee will also be elected. Members of the county delegation seeking reelection are usually placed in nomination for places on the dele gation to the State convention and it has always been considered a test of a candidate’s standing. It is thought that all members of the pre sent county legislative delegation will seek re-election. Resolutions for or against the third presidential term are expected to come before the convention as two clubs have already passed such reso lutions. BUILDING PARK BENCHES The NYA shop force is busy this week making attractive Park benches for Margaret Hunter Park. All mat erials for these seats has been fur nished by the City Council. Forty boys are getting very fine training in the NYA shop located on Caldwell street. The public is invited to visit this shop and see the boys at work. TO CHANGE LOCATIONS Changes expected in the location of business firms in the near future in clude the removal of the Hughey beauty shop to the Ritz theatre building, the Raegin Shoe shop to the building thus vacated and the Spinks clothing company to the building now occupied by the shoe shop. DR. DERRICK’S TRIBUTE TO FRANK LEVER “Frank Lever had hosts of person al friends who grieve that he is dead. He was always kind, always helpful, to his people. He loved his fellow- men. The Great Master called: Come quickly. He answered the summons. He loved his alma mater and gave to it affectionate concem. To its army of alumni he was admired as one of its shining lights. After life’s fitful fever, ‘Peace, perfect peace’.” BOUNDARY STREET SCHOOL WILL GIVE PAGEANT Boundary Street school wil present a lovely spectacular pageant “A Fairy Garden Party and Lilliputian Wedding” tonight (Fiiday) at the Senior high school. Admission—25 cents. ATTENDS JEANS CONFERENCE Mrs. Mae A. Aull and Supt. of Education C. E. Hendrix are attend ing the annual Jeans conference in Orangeburg at the negro State Col lege today (Thursday). ST. PHILIPS ITEMS On Friday afternoon I had the pleasure of meeting up with one of my old friends, George Siigh of Ev ansville, Ind. His •wife was with him. It was a surprise to me as I was walking up in the church yard. He had been on a visit to his old home place now owned by his first cousin, G. H. Siigh. The farmers are about through planting but the cotton is not com ing up much due to the cold weather. It doesn't seem that we can have any warm weather but May is here and probably will bring a change. Regular services at the church Sunday night at 7:30. I was glad to see a fine attendance last Sunday, and am so proud to see them take an interest in church work. Services will be in charge of Rev. Emmet Roof. (The editor was favorably impressed by our correspondent’s pastor upon the one occasion we have heard him; no doubt his discourses have real appeal to St. Philips sinners,— Ed.) , METHODIST CIRCLES MEET The Woman’s Missionary Society of Central Methodist church will not meet on Monday, May 6th. The following circles will meet at four o’clock: No. 1 with Mrs. H. W. Thoomas. No. 2 with Mrs. R. M. Lominack. No. 3 with Mrs. George Epps. No. 4 with Mi’s. Troy Rogers.

HOLDS POSITION AT WADE HAMPTON HOTEL Ellerbe Pelham, who for several years was clerk at the Wiseman hotel, has accepted a position as a cashier at the new Wade Hampton hotel in Columbia. . Pleased With Chamber’s Work The annual meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce was held Fiiday night at which time a review of the year’s activities was given by the president and members of the board of directors. President Hal Kohn first called up on Wilton Todd. Mr. Todd said that the commerce body had accomplished much during the past year, and that he knew of one instance where his company had been saved $50 after the chamber of commerce had investi gated persons selling stamps and found they were crooks. Jim Johnson, refen-ed to by Mr. Kohn as a “veteran” in the body, was pleased with results so far but wanted a better chamber of com merce. “We want young blood” he said, “old men like Zach Wright and myself are going; we want men who are coming.” James Beard of the Belk store, who is chairman of the merchant’s committee, mentioned some accom plishments; said that merchants wanted more payrolls; thought the body had justified its existence so far. Vice President “Straw” P&ysinger, thought the body had done well; had to first lay the foundation but now that the foundaion was laid could er ect a structure upon it of which all could be proud. T. E. Davis touched upon three points. He thought much credit due the men who reorganized the body; lauded the public forum idea inaug urated by the chamber and said it should be enlarged upon. Third was that the “revitalized” body was able to get O. F. Armfteld out to a meet ing. Mr. Kohn introduced Gordon Clarkson, treasurer, who he said had done an excellent job and had been of much help. Mr. Clarkson re ported receipts for the first year as $2,504.25 and disbursements as $1,- 930.17, with a balance of $700 odd dollars. Mr. Kohn stated that ’he did not believe the chamber of com merce in any former year had en joyed a balance of this extent. He explained, however, that to do real effective work the chamber should have an income of $5,000 per year. Mr. Kohn said that plans were under way to take younger men into the body at a reduced fee and that this should boost the membership hy at least 50. Jesse Frank Hawkins thought that industries could be founded among local people. “We can develop things ourselves” he continued. Mr. Haw kins said he was well pleased with his membership in the chamber. J. G. Donaldson said he had found Newberry a much finer town than he thought it was upon his coming here some time ago. Thomas H. Pope, Jr., thanked the body for its assistance in securing Battery H for Newberry. He also took occasion to thank T. E. Davis for his co-operation in furnishing trucks for the artillery company. Mr. Pope stated that the armory building would perhaps be under construction in the next few weeks. Paul Haile, county commissioner, thought the chamber of commerce was doing a good job; that it persist ed in an undertaking until it accom plished results. D. W. A. Neville had “entire com mendation” for the body; thought it had done much to draw the business interests of the town together. “All that has been done has been done well” he concluded. J. E. Wiseman, hotel proprietor, told of the lack of accommodation here for conventions. He had tried to arrange for space to care for a baseball team which wanted to train here but was unable to do so. Local hotels, he said, had a surplus of rooms only on the weekends. Mr. Wiseman also spoke at length about “outsiders” coming in when they ob serve that a local man was making a little money, and establishing a business in competition. He wanted the chamber of commerce to do some thing about this. “I hope to live to see the time when no outside man can come in and run the home man out of business” he concluded, I. Kaplan joined the chamber of commerce in 1922; fell his lot to canvass for memberships at times in the past. When confronted with the question of what the chamber of commerce was doing he was unable to answer but now could point to ac complishments. Chris Athanos did not know for 20 years what a chamber of commerce “was all about”; has learned now and thinks it worthwhile. Tom Summer thought the body should more fully acquaint the mem bership with what it was trying to do, and Mr. Kohn stated that he was considering a monthly bulletin for that purpose. Mr. Kohn at this point extended his hand to Harry Vigodsky and welcomed him back to the city. J. L. King, assistant county agent told of the close co-operation between the county agents office and the chamber of commerce. Z. F. Wright opened his remarks with a bouquet to the city fathers Miss Harrison Tells ■ Of Festival Trip (By MISS ELIZABETH HARRISON) I wish to express in this way my thanks to The Sun and those who made my trip to Charleston, as Miss Newberry, possible. It was without a doubt the most wonderful trip I’ve ever taken in my life. Mr. Robert Bradham, chairman of the Azalea Festival Committee, and one of his stenographers met me at the train Monday night and carried me to the Francis Marion Hotel. Only a few representatives arrived Mon day night, due to train schedules, but the rest arrived' by noon Tuesday and rushed to get ready for the parade at four o’clock. My roommate, Miss Abbeville, (who I already knew) and I were carried out to Station WTMA for a fifteen minute interview Tues day morning. The parade was a lovely spectacle with most of the queens sitting on the backs of convertibles aind the different colored floats placed in be tween them. It ended at the Cus toms House steps where Miss Louise Mack was crowned Miss Charleston of 1940 by Mayor Lockwood of Charles ton and Governor Maybank. Tuesday night we were taken out to the Fort Sumter Hotel for the Water Carnival and Fireworks. Each boat in the carnival represented something—for example, one repre sented Miss Charleston driving a duck that kept trying to catch a fish. All of this was in colored lights and made a beautiful show. From there we went to the Fair Building for Bob Sylvester’s dance and to be introduced to the public. Wednesday morning a talent con test was held and participated in by the queens at the Dock Street Trea- tre. At seven-thirty in Marion Square, right across from the hotel where I was staying, the Mayor and Governor crowed the King and Queen of the Carnival. Afterwards we all climbed on the floats and started -off on another parade throwing con fetti and trinkets to the crowds. The Street Dance began after the parade with four of five local dance orch estras playing on each corner of King street. Due to rain which started about noon on Wednesday, the Pets Parade, Street Criers Contest, and the Lanc ing Tournament were postponed. Tommy Dorsey played for the Azalea Ball Thursday night which was so crowded that you could 1 hardly do anything but stand up and talk. Friday at one o’clock the Mayor’s reception and luncheon to distin- guisbed officials was held in the Francis Marion hotel with a local orchestra playing. About 720 peo ple attended thir affair. At four-thirty we were taken to The Citadel for the Dress Parad'e. This was a very colorful and stately sight with the cannons being fired nineteen times for the Governor and seventeen times for the Mayor. At eight-thirty the selection and coronation of the queen was' held. Miss Ernestine Sitton of Easley was crowned Miss Azalea Queen of 1940. After this, we went to the Fair building for the coronation ball at which Dean Hudson’s band played Saturday morning there was a con cert given by the Charleston high school band in front of the Fort Sumter hotel, and Sail Boat races off the Battery. This ended a delightful week in Charleston. I arrived in Newberry late Saturday afternoon, and I sin cerely hope that the Newberry Queen of 1941 will enjoy the trip as much as I did. ALTAR SET TO BE BLESSED At eleven o’clock Sunday in Mt. Pilgrim Lutheran Church, near Pros perity, services of special significance will be held at which time a beauti ful brass altar set is to be blessed. The set is composed of a twenty-four inch cross, candle holders and flower vases of a line of high quality brass altar appointments. The cross and candle holders are ta be given by the children of Mrs. Lawton Sydney Long and the late Mr. Long as a memorial to their father, who died May 5, 1939, and in honor of their mother. The flower vases are to be •given by Mr. Sydney E. Cook. Flowers for this service will be furn ished by the family of the late L. S. Long, Sr., in his mem try. All members and former members of the congregation are urged to be present for this impressive service. GERALD FRANK SHEALY Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Shealy are receiving congratulations over the arrival of a son, born Thursday, Ap ril 18th. The little boy has been nam ed Gerald Frank Shealy. for the fine condition in which they kept the streets. He said that much could be accomplished by coopera tion; “we can do something if we make up our minds and all do our parte.” Mr. Wright also wanted young men to take the lead. The annual election was postponed for a week. Music Festival Sunday At Newberry High A music festival consisting of about three hundred voices will be given Sunday, May 5th, at 5 o’clock in the Newberry high school audit orium. The program will be given by the grammar grade students of the city and county schools under the direc tion of Miss Rose Hamm.

DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO The Drayton Rutherford and the Calvin Crazier chapters and -the John M. Kinard camp S. C. V. with the veterans of the county and their wives are to be the guests of these organizations at the annual Memorial Day dinner which will be served this year on May 12th in the old Court House. Governor Cooper -will be the main speaker. The memorial services at Rosemont will be held on Sunday afternoon, May 9, at 6 o’clock. Mrs. Louisa Zobel died on Wednes day morning at 10:15 o’clock after an illness extending over two years and more. She was born in Hielbron Kingdom of Wittenberg, Germany, July 23, 1834. The greater part of her life was spent at her home in the town of Helena. She is survived 1 by one sister, Mrs. Anne Fisher of Phila., 25 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Her children are Charles J. Zobel of Helena, Fred W. and William A. Zobel of Charleston, Mrs. Caroline Burn of Helena, Mrs. Otto Klettner of Newberry and Mrs. W. S. Melton of Helena Mrs. Zobel was a member of the Lutheran church and a kind and good wife and devoted mother and was permit ted an earthly pilgrimage of more than fore score years—way beyond that given unto most men. We are glad to see that Gov. Coop er was bold enough in his speech at the South Carolina dinner in Wash ington the other evening to say that he thought it was time to abolish some of the amendments to the Con stitution and get back to the consti tution of the fathers. We have been traveling too fast for many years toward a great centralized govern ment at Washington and it is getting time for some one whose voice will be heard to sound the note of warn ing, if our institutions are to stand and our governmentto be perpetuated. The sovereignty of the States has already been pretty nearly surrendered and it is time for some one to call a halt and some one who can make himself heard. BRILLIANT PAGEANT Boundary Street school pupils are preparing to present a beautiful pic turesque pageant, “A Garden Party and Lilliputian Wedding in Fairyland” at the Senior high school on May the third at 7:45 o’clock.
