PAGE FOUR — 1218 College Street Newberry, S. C. O. F. ARMFIELD Editor and Publisher One Year »1.00 Published Every Friday Entered as second-class m>.tter December 6, 1937, at the post office at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879. NEWBERRY MAT PALE BEHIND IN COUNT There is every indication that the city of Newberry will fall behind the population figure of 1930 unless more interest is taken in the census now under way, according to the district census office. Any person who has not been en umerated should get in touch with a census taker or report the fact to the Chamber of Commerce. Newberry county showed a decrease in popula tion from 1920 to 1930 but this was due largely to the shift of the negro population to the North. It is believed in the census office that Newberry has the people to show a nice increase if they can only be reached by the census takers and counted. Every person knows whether they have been enumerated and those who have not are urged for the sake of county pride to report the fact at once. The chamber of commerce will be glad to see that an enumerator contacts you. Another point to re member is that census takers are Newberry people and that they are working on a “piece” basis; that is, they are paid only on the number of people they report. Each name is worth 4c to them, and is worth a lot more in, establishing Newberry as a growing city. The big census drive wdll soon be over and Newberry’s population an nounced. Everyone wants to see it larger than 10 years ago, but unless citizens report and report at once Newberry is certain to show a decline.

JOHNSON-McCRACKIN COMPANY McCormick Deering Dealers 5-12-19-26c “NEWBERRY” “The City of Friendly Folks” Should be no misnomer; Why not exemplify it, Only make it stronger. Do not be a cynic, It gets you nowhere, And there is nothing in it; Why not spread good cheer. We pass this way but once, Have only one life to live; Don’t take all you can get. And never think to give. Do not envy your neighbor, Because he has more wealth; You are prabably richer, With more friends, and health. Smile, if it hurts you, As you pass along the street; Not only to your friends. Also the stranger greet. You will love the old home town, When you get out in the sticks; And everytime you turn around, You see a bunch of hicks. Well, I’m not kicking—much— Because it’s not so cheery; But, it certainly makes you think about Good old Newberry. B. L. D. Santee-Cooper. 4-7-40. MRS. EPSIE J, JACKSON Mrs. Epsie J.

Kinard, presi dent of Newberry College Monday to members of the four city high school Hi-Y r club; at their banquet at the Y. M. C. A., in Columbia. “Anyone who becomes a Christian citizen" must take the responsibilities of running our government as well as taking advantage of the oppor tunities that the governments 'offer for us. Those who do not do this should be run out of the country,” he said. “In order to be a good citizen one must give of his time, his talents and his tithes. Each of us should take advantage of the opportunity to help govern ourselves now, even while we are still in high school. “Finally, in order to be a good citi zen, one must be considerate of oth ers. No one can reach the top of the ladder in being a good citizen unless he has achieved in knowledge as well as in practice that part of the teach ings of the Master when He said, ‘Do unto others as you would they do unto you’.” he said.

LOMINACK Hardware And Now It’s Gone Well, it’s finally come and gone. Yes, the famous picture, “Gone With the Wind.” Being among those who didn’t see it in Columbia or Atlanta, your soc. ed. went down to the thea tre Friday night to see if it was really what is was “cracked up to be.” And believe me, it really was! When I read the book, I could imagine what Bhett Butler and Scarlett O’Hara looked like. No one could have possibly fitted more per fectly in my imagination than Vivien Leigh and Clark Gable. They were ideal. You would never believe you were sitting there four hours. When it was said that the picture would be four hours long, I wondered, al though the book contained 1037 pages where they would find material enough to keep going four hours. But when I saw it, I was truly amaz ed to see how much of the book was omitted. Anyway, it was a wonderful pic ture, and your soc. ed. is glad she decided to have the patience to sit through it. The following article was printed in The State from the Toombs County, Ga., Democrat, and in case you didn’t see it, it’s too good to miss. It is the editors views of the picture: "There was a land of cotton fields and cavaliers called the Old South. A land of Lords and their Ladles, of Master and of Slave. Look not for them hereabouts for they are no longer to be found. Male and female. Black and White, Youth and Aged, they are all down to the picture show seeing ‘Gone With the Wind’. “Katherine Scarlett O’Hara was our shero. A winsome wench with a fig- ger like a marble statue and a head as hard, “Gerald O’Hara was her pa. By nature, he was most animal like. Proud as a peacock, he roared like a lion and rode like a dog and pony show. After Sherman came he was crazy as a bedbug. “Anyhow, Scarlett was in love with Ashley Wilkes, who was in love with his cousin, Melanie, who was in love with Ashley, and so they were mar ried. (Ashley and Melanie in case you’re getting confused.) “This irritated Scarlett no end, so in quick succession she married, for spite and cash respectively, a couple of fellers whose names we didn’t get. But then, neither did Scarlett for long. “The other major characters were Rhett Butler, Belle Watling, and a colored lady like the one on the flapjack box. “Rhett, who was somehow strange ly reminiscent of Clark Gable, was a cross between Jesse James and Little Boy Blue. “Uncle Lum considered playing Rhett but turned it down when he found out there wasn’t anything but mint in the mint juleps. “If Rhett had joined the Lost Cause in the second reel instead of after intermission, the Confederacy would have won the war. “And Belle. You’d have loved Belle. Everybody did. “During the siege of Atlanta, only three things were running. Belle’s place, Prissy’s nose, and the laundry that kept Rhett’s white suits snowy white. “Melanie’s baby arrived about the same time Sherman did. Both were equally welcome to Scarlett. “it was, so far as our painstaking .-esearch has revealed, the first baby ever born in technicolor. “Anyway, the South lost the war again in the picture. (What could you expect with a lot of Yankee Pvo- Jucers?) and Scarlett married Rhett just to get even with him. “Their married life was just like etting in hell’s fire and listening to the heavenly choir. “Finally after Melanie died (the doctor’s always right) Scarlett rea lized that she didn’t love Ashley but Rhett. Scarlett was as changeable as a baby’s underwear. “However, Rhett had had enough of her foolishness, and when she told him, he says, ‘Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.’ Neither, by this time did the audience.” Song Service A very beautiful program was ren dered Slnday morning at the Baptist church at the regular church hour. This program was given by the Bap tist choir with Miss Mazie Dominick organist, and Mr. Harry Feld, violin ist. Members of the choir are Misses Mary Alice Mitchell, Virginia Smith, Marguerite Burns, Ruth Clary, Eliz abeth Harmon, Mrs. R. C. Floyd, Mrs. Roy Anderson, Merrs. D. O. Carpen ter, Frank Barnes, J. L. Dickert and Gene West. The program included violin solos, vocal solos, duets, and anthems. It was the first program of its type given in Newberry for some time, and your soc. ed. as well as many others are hoping it won’t be the last. of their daughter, Lillian Davis, and George W. Rodelsparger. The wed ding will take place in June. Miss Humphries is a graduate of Newberry College and at present is teaching in the Union City schools. Yon Are RIGHT!
