BUG POISONS
The Jiinjohnsongrass has got me
to the place that I have to do my
gardening with a lawn mower, and
my crop of bugs continues to flourish
as the bay tree. The only thing the
bugs haven’t bothered is my potatoes;
the grass is so high there that they
can’t find them. I doubt if Mos'-s
could have led the children of Isreal
through such a mess.
The bugs are lined up next to that
grass like Germans on the French
bolder. They know these is some-
there (a little something) but they
are afraid to risk a blitzkreig and I
am afraid to hoe the spuds. I think
I’ll just wait and see if that lather
works on the beans and if it does
go in there with my lather and safety
razor and clean ’em up. I’ve got 90c
invested in seed potatoes but right
now I believe the market value would
be something like a nickle.
I went to Doc. Weeks about my
bugs and he prescribed some stuff
which he said was good on chickens
and he couldn’t see why it wouldn’t
work on cabbage. His reasoning was
so logical I tried it. I dusted the cab
bage very thoroughly and the next
light sprinkle of rain washed it all
down into the bud. All I’ll have to
do now is to get some stuff from Doc
for bellyache when I start eating
those cabbage. I wouldn’t say that
was Doc’s idea to start with, but it
locks funny.
A fellow who has a remedy for all
the ailments of man, beast and plants
told me of a remedy for bean beetles
and agreed to fix me up some. His
remedy consisted of 1 cake of shav
ing soap and 1 pint of fly killer. This
concoction was to be diluted with 3
quarts of water and squirted on
the plants with a squirt gun. Well, I
didn’t think much of lather as a bug
poison but I tried it and when I got
through those little beans looked like
40 barbers might have been in there
with their brushes. I don’t know at
this time whether it was effective as
most of the leaves were riddled with
holes anyway. But whether it works
or not those bugs certainly got a good
lathering.
BEGIN HELENA CHAPEL
Dirt was turned last week on the
Presbyterian Chapel at Helena. The
building will contain an auditorium
and three Sunday school rooms. The
Newberry Lumber company is the
contractor at a price of $1000. It is
said that the company is contribut
ing considerable in the matter of a
low bid on the building, and that in
reality it will be about a $1,500 struc
ture. The Presbyeerians will pay
cash on the barrel head, due largely
to the ability of Pastor Galcote to
extract dollars where none seem to
grow. B. M. (Boo) Scurry is chair
man of the building committee and
general engineer of the activities out
there. The Chapel is the outgrowth
of the evangelistic zeal of a number
of the Kirk brethren who began op-
orations there some two or three
years ago in an abandoned residence.
The few who “gathered together”
there persisted with true Christian
fortitude when attendance reached al
most the vanishing point. Apparent
ly they have been “owned and bless-
respectable attendance at the pres-
ed” as the new building and a very
ent time would indicate.
MRS. SHEALY
Mr*. Charlotte Koon Shealy, 84,
of Prosperity, widow of John A. Shea
ly, died Sunday in a Columbia hos
pital. Funeral services were conduct
ed 1 at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon
from Mt. Tabor Lutheran church near
Little Mountain. Burial followed in
the church cemetery.

Special Act Enlarges
Supervisors Authority
The county legislative delegation
has caused to be passed an Act
empowering the county supervisor to
hire and discharge all road workers.
The bill provides that the remaining
two members of the board have a
right to appeal to the delegation
where inefficient persons, or more per
sons than they think necessary are
hired. The bill provides that the
supervisor’s authority is not widen
ed in any other respect by the pas
sage of this Act.
The county board is also required
under the new Act to make up a
budget at the beginning of each new
year, to provide for all expenditures
used for maintenance, and construc
tion.
The Act also requires the com
missioners to make up and file in the
office of the board, and subject to
public inspection, a monthly work
sheet which will show upon which
roads, bridges and other projects the
chaingang and maintenance forces
are to be employed for that month.
Provision is made for emergency
work.
The courts have ruled that under
the existng set-up each member of
the board has equal authority in the
employment of maintenance workers.
The matter has been a point of dis
agreement among board members.
The new act will take effect on
January 1, 1941 when the newly
elected supervisor takes office.

CROOKS ARE ACTIVE
Columbia, May 9.—A new racket
being operated on a statewide scale,
with the apparent intent of pinching
small amounts of money from peni-
Ipss families in exchange for false
promises of employment by the Na
tions} Youth Administration, was dis
closed today by State Administrator
Roger L, Coe,
In one instance, Doctor Coe said a
man purporting to be a salesman for
a fictitional publishing company in
Columbia sold a Sumter county girl
a dictionary, a magazine subscription
and one other book, on the strength
of the promise that purchase of the
outlay would entitle her to an NY‘A
school scholarship paying six dollars
a month.
Doctor Coe said the “salesman” ob
tained a dollar down, instructed the
dupes of his racket to write the state
NYA office in Columbia, and then
vanished. The man, the magazines
and the books never showed up again,
he said, and naturally, no NYA schol
arship either.
Doctor Coe issued a warning today
to school youths, and parents of such
youths, in this state to pay no atten
tion whatever to offers of this sort.
He said that NYA school jobs could
be obtained only through application
to the authorities of the respective
schools.
Mr. and Mrs. Claude Sanders
spent Saturday ni"ht and Sunday in
Greenville, with Mrs. Sanders’ broth
er, Carl Epting and Mrs. Epting.
Artistic Dances Will
Mark Aux. Offering
Sponsored by the Newberry coun
ty Hospital auxiliary the Foster
school of dance, said to be the State’s
largest dance school, will present its
Newberry students and stars from
the Columbia school in their first an
nual dance revue here on Friday ev
ening, May 17 at 7:45 o’clock.
A full program of varied dance
compositions will be given, featur
ing talent from the tiniest tots to ad
vanced adults.
The hospital auxiliary is sponsor
ing the performance. The proceeds
will go to the Baby fund to be used
for under-privileged children.
A1 tickets will be 25c and may be
had from members of the auxiliary
or at the door the evening of the per
formance.
Population Down
Indications now are that Newberry
will not show as many people in the
census as it did in 1930. Every citi
zen who has not been enumerated
should by all means report the fact
One hundred names may be the means
of putting Newberry over the, 1930
figure but unless the city is checked
very carefully it now seems certain
that it will be under the 1930 figure.
Prosperity is also said to ‘lave de
creased while Whitmire will perhaps
show an increase of several hundred.
Summer Closing Starts
June First
The Chamber of Commerce has an
nounced that Newberry stores will
begin closing at 1 o’clock an June 1
and continue through August. Ac
cording to the Chamber of Commerce
84 merchants were interviewed, 78 of
whom expressed a desire to close
while six merchants were found op
posed to summer closing. All agreed
to abide by the majority opinion ex-
cent one it is said.
In order to determine as accurately
as possible opinion on summer closing
the commerce body first called a meet
ing of Merchants. In this meeting 18
favored closing and 1 opposed. Later
a canvass of the business section
was made by a committee of six with
results as noted above.
Willowbrook Opens
The formal opening of Willowbrook
park is announced for Saturday night,

Spectator Discusses State Constitution
Representative Peek of Charleston
has offered a bill to provide for the
assessment of property for taxation
at its actual or market value. The
purpose of Mr. Pedk is to have our
taxation escape its present high mil-
lage. For example, if a piece of
property worth $1,000 is assessed
for taxation at a valuation of $250
it means that sixty mills on the dollar
on the valuation of $250 would be
only fifteen mills on $1,000. The
taxayers would pay the same amount
in dollars and cents, but outsiders
studying our taxes would not think
that the sixty mills were levied on
the thousand dollars.
The Constitution of the State,
which was adopted in 1895, provided
for taxation on actual value. Here
is what it says: “All taxes upon
property, real and personal, shall be
laid upon the actual value of the
property taxed, as the same shall be
ascertained by an assessment made
for the purpose of laving such tax.”
Some time ago t remarKed that
the Constitution is so frequently dis
regarded or interpreted in a petti-
frogging spirit that there is no as-
suinnee that a new constitution
would serve any better. This is a
case in point. Since 1895 the Con
stitution has directed that all prop
erty shall be assessed for taxation
on the basis of actual value, but it
has been entirely ignored. We need
not suppose that the Constitution
was not clear and mandatory. The
Constitution also says: “The provi
sions of the Constitution shall be
taken, deemed and construed to be
mandatory and prohibitory, and not
merely directory,” etc.
The members of the Constitutional
Convention seem to have devoted con
siderable thought to the assessment
of property for taxation. So much
so that one might assume that sev
eral committees separately brought
in recommendations and that the
Convention adopted all of them. This
is one of the evidences of a lack of
unity in our State document. Of
course the sons of those gentlemen
have not in any sense improved the
great bulwark of our liberties. With
in recent years the Constitution has
been amended several times, yet
both the original provision and the
amendment are still in the document,
though flatly contradictory, The
Constitution says that the Governor
may be re-elected and it also says
that he may not be re-elected; it
says that certain officials shall serve
two years; then it says they shall
serve four years; it provides that the
salaries of some may not be increas
ed or diminished, and then says they
DOWN MEMORY
LANE
20 YEARS AGO
A Kiwanis club was organized in
Newberry on Tuesday eveninn: and a
delightful luncheon was served at
the National hotel. The club num
ber fifty or more members and will
be worth a whole lot for the communi
ty. The club will meet twice a month
and from the committees appointed it
would seem that it is the intention to
do something worth while for the
town. The following are the officers:
W. S. Matthews, president; E. A.
Carpenter, vice president; A. J. Bow
ers, Jr., secretary and treasurer;
Board of Directors, T. K. Johnstone,
O. B. Cannon, Eugene S. Biease, J.
B. Hunter, J. D. Caldwell, E. E.
Stuck, W. W. Cromer, J. B. Setzler.
It was a great and enjoyable day
for the honored guests of the city
on Wednesday, the Confederate Vet
erans. Everywhere one saw gallant
veterans of the "Confederate army;
some walked with a step as spry as
a young man, while others were
stooped and leaned heavily on their
canes for support. In the morning
services were held at the Opera
House at which Mr. J. F. J. Caldwell
presided Gov. Cooper is a splendid
speech maker and he was at his best
on Wednesday. Ail in all Wednes
day was an enjoyable day for the
visitors and a busy one for those who
are wont to honor with loving acts
of kindness the “Thin Gray Line” who
gather with us once each year as our
geests. Perhaps next year some of
those who gathered here on Wednes
day will have passed into the great
beyond and their places will be va
cant, but in our memory the gallant
defenders of the Confederacy will
never grow dim nor be forgotten.
