Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strive*'To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 32 The Rising sun-me-isso NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, MAY 31, 1940 SUder and Greneker—1856-186* $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE CORONER IS FIRST TO PAY Coroner Wilson has pasK>ed over to “Box” Counts $20 good U. S. inflated dollars which said twenty bucks enti tles him to run for coroner and be elected—if he gets enough votes. The coioner has been holding this job for the past 1G years and has become independently wealthy. It would seem that he would be willing to give it up and retire on the big fortune he has gotten from the pub lic trough. But not the Coroner! Oh, no, he wants more, and more, and more. His one ambition is bo be richer tihan Zach Wright and if he can hold the job four more years and remain, as tight as he has for the past 16, he will attain his goal. The back end of the South Carolina Na tional bank is bulging now and if the coroner is elected they plan an ex tension to take care of his funds. Not many people know how much the coroner’s office pays. Of course the stated salary is small but that’s only pocket change to what the Coroner actually takes in. I have pretty good authoiity for stating that his salary the past fpur years from this office alone was $38,416.93. This in ad- ditfibn, mind you, to a large trucking business, goat and vegetable farms, fees and perquisites of many kinds. The man’s simply lousy with money! So much in fun. I hope the Coro ner will continue to be Coroner with out opposition. Anyone who can be as dheerful as he, in his state of health, deserves a lot in this sour old world. Red Cross Drive For Relief Money Monday The steering committee appointed by the Lion’s Club has completed plans for a drive for funds to relieve suffering in war-torn Europe. The drive is being made in the name of the Red Cross and every section of •the city will be visited by teams nam ed by the committee. The drive will begin Monday ,June 3, and will be completed as quickly as possible owing to the urgency of the cause. The Red Cross is conducting simi lar drives all over the nation in an attempt to raise millions of dollars for the war sufferers. Already Red Cross supplies have * begun to flow to the mifortnate of Europe but each day the need grows greater and it is hoped that everyone in Newberry will contribute at least ' something toward this fund. Hundreds of thousands of people in Belgium and Northern France are homeless and without necessities of any sort. Their homes have been wrecked and they are a burden on the allied nations. Give all you can to this cause when called upon. FORMAL OPENING OF FRIENDLY BEAUTY SALON The Friendly Beauty Salon which moved this week to the newly remod eled building on the corner of College and Friend streets, announce the formal opening Tuesday night, June 4th, from 7:30 until 10:30. The hostesses, Mrs. J. W. Switen- burg and Miss Ruth Senn, extend to the public a cordial invitation to come and inspect this modem Beauty shop, with its well-apoointed interior and modem fixtures. PASTOR KEISLER’S SERMON I went around to the Redeemer church Sunday morning to hear Pas tor Keisler pieach on “Who Said, There Is No Hell?” The sermon was all right. Bryan pictured hell as an awful place; torment, anguish, and so on, but he stopped short of the fire. Not once, except in read'- ing the text did he even mention the fire works. Bryan said in effect that those who said there was no hell were indulging in wishful thinking. He took his text from the New Testa ment and to the orthodox there is of course no need to go elsewhere. I wanted him to start at the beginning, say with Job, and review the various steps of evolution of the wicked place but he explained that time did not permit this. I have no well defined notions about the set-up of the bad place but I am sure that the idea sprung from observation of the human race. I don’t believe that I am not rash when I say that twenty-five per cent of the people ought to be in hell now. Press dispatches this week tell of some men who took a cow and tied her to a truck and dragged her around; of a woman who killed her baby; of another who hid her new bom babe in a barn; of a man who killed: his young son. And so on, and so on. There is no end to it. The human race is a bad lot and it is get ting “badder.” I blame the preach ers; the preachers blame the people. The preachers are supposed to be the custodians and propagators of a cure for all this cussedness but they make little headway. They have been at it for 2000 years and so far as we can see man is about the same beast he was in the beginning. I would not go so far as to say the preachers are not interested in making us better; most of them are, but their technique is not working. Christianity was founded on plain preaching. The sermon at Pentecost ■must have been such that even a child could understand, for 3000 sin ners saw the light and brought their carcasses into the fold of the blessed. Showy oratory has had its day. Most of us know about as many big words as the preacher now, and would welcome a return to the simple gospel, simply preached. So this leaves us still looking for someone to preach that sermon, and it begins to look more and more like I am going to have to do it. CONTEMPT FOR -NON-FIGHTING BOYS IN COLLEGE EXPRESSED MISSIONARY MEETINGS The Circles of the Women’s Mis sionary Society of Central Methodist Church will meet Monday, June 3.

EXPRESSION CONTEST AT BUSH RIVER Miss Eulalia Buford won first place in the Expression contest which was held at Bush River school Mon day night. Her subject was “Cour age.” Six other girls competed in the contest. Raleigh, N. C., May 28.—Gov. Clyde R. Hoey, ’.speaking at cem- meneement exercises at Peace insti tute last night, said he had “nothing but pity, mingled with contempt” for certain college students who have r - solved not to bear arms. Although Governor Hoey said he was not thinking of any particular college, his references apparently were to a “keep out of Europe’s war” peace demonstration at the Univer sity of North Carolina last week. “We must realize,” the governor said, that while pacifism is a good thing, it won’t make much headway with dictators. Superior force and unmatched equipment is the only language they care for.” “This is not the time for divided loyalty,” Hoey said. “There are many among us who care not for our heri tage of liberty, justice and freedom, although they have lived among us and enjoyed them. I do not believe in doing away with free speech, but I believe we should make it so un comfortable for them that they should go to another place and clime more to their liking. “In this time the dictators walk the earth with titanic tread, but the everlasting tomorrows belong to God, and He has not neglected His peo ple. He has not gone on a long journey.” Asked specifically if he was refer ring to the peace movement at the state university, Hoey said be meant no particular college, but was speak ing of the “spirit” of pacifism. In the Chapel Hill demonstration, several leading students put on skits and speeches to show that the “real issue in the European war is Ger many’s fight for markets, colonies, and raw materials,” and the “desire of England and France to keep Ger many in bondage.” The demonstration was interrupted with a barrage of eggs when students attempted to show in skits that war is futile and thae there is no danger of invasion of the Americas. Some of the students said they would not fight for any reason. MRS. BURLESON IS CONVICTED Columbia, May 28.—A Richland county jury found Mrs. Walker Bur leson, prominefnt Galveston, Texas, woman, guilty of manslaughter with recommendation for mercy at 9:15 p. m. tonight. The verdict carries a sentence of from 2 to 30 years im prisonment. The former artist and suffragette leader was tried for the slaying of the woman who succeeded her as the wife of U. S. Army Colonel Richard C. Burleson. - Slew Woman at Cafeteria She was accused of shooting the former Mrs. Isabel Reece Knowlton of Boston, Mass., in the back as she ate lunch in a hotel cafeteria here March 8. The defense claimed that Mrs. Bur leson was mentally deranged at the time of the shooting, but physicians a the state hospital for the insane, testifying for the prosecution, said they believed she was not.

The bill wold increase by $500,000 the lending powers of the Commodity Credit Corporation, which takes over crop loans made by banks and other local institutions. Officials said its present lending authoriz.i.tion of $1,- 000,000,006 was nearly exhausted. The measure was advocated by Secretary Wallace and introduced by Senator Byrnes (D, S- C.) who said he would seek senate action immedi ately. Senator Taft (R. Ohio) remarked that the g<|vemme»it (had isuffbred losses on such loans in the past, but that if “you ever had a justification for making loans, you have it now. because of the cutting off of exports.” Officials estimated that $150,000,- 000 would be needed for loans on 3,- 300,000 bales of cotton, $150,000,000 on 260,000,000 bushels of corn, $90,- 000,000 on 141,000,000 bushels of wheat, $40,000,000 on tobacco and $60,000,000 on other crops.

SECURING WEEVIL CONTROL MATERIALS “Many Newberry County farmers are not waiting for reports of boll weevil emergence to make prepara tions for early poisoning, but plan to poison regardless of weevil abund ance,” says County Agent P. B. Ezell. “Experience has taught that even with a fairly light emergence wet weather during June, July, and August may cause a rapid weevil population increase. Moreover, mo lasses and at times calcium arsenate are more expensive and difficult to locate at the last minute than if procured earlier.” Civic Leaders Plan Fer Finals Celebration Plans are under way for the big gest and best Newberry College Com mencement Celebration the townspeo ple of Newberry ever witnessed. At a meeting Wednesday morning in the Chamber of Commerce offices, a se lected group of citizens and civic leaders arranged all details and sev eral sub-committees were appointed to engineer the project. President Ned Purcell presided over the meet ing and called on all those present to give this celebration their deepest interest and whole-hearted coopera tion. Everyone expressed a desire to see more enthusiasm created thru- out the town in order that the College Commencement season be put over in the future in a spirit befitting the occasion. Mrs. J. JL Summer, President of the Civic Letgue, stated that the ladies of the tovn were actively engaged in the arrangements for the 'college Luncheon to be held at one p. m. Tuesday, June 4. She pointed out also that a proper slogan for the season would be “Newberry College Is Our College.” She pledged the full cooperation of the Civic League and the NYA, stating that all citi zens would be asked to do away with the midday meal on Tuesday in order to attend the College Luncheon. According to present plans, the en tire down-town section will be garbed tin festive attire, merchants V>cin.g asked to use scarlet and gray for their display. Automobiles will be decorated with scarlet and gray streamers. The public will be invit ed to wear a small lapel bow made in the school colors. The welcome flags of merchants will be thrown to the breeze and a large banner will be hung across Main street. Of great importance is the decision to request town officials to discontinue the mark ing of automobiles during the morn ing of the luncheon.' It was brought out in the meeting that the College Luncheon has been too often referred to as the “alumni luncheon,” resulting in many inter ested citizens’ failure to attend. Dr. James C. Kinard, P-esident of New berry College, stated that the College Luncheon is intended for all local citizens and that the public at large is invited to obtain tickets and at tend. . Decorations and other arrange ments of the down-town section was delegated to a large committee of merchants appointed by Chamber of Commerce president Ned Purcell. All local service clubs will be requested to assist in the sale of tickets. To Mr. Hal Kohn was delegated the job of securing prizes to be given away, and also the decorations for automo biles. Mrs. J. H. Summer, President of the Civic League, and Secretary Ted W. Bremer of the Chamber of Commerce, were jointly delegated to handle publicity. It is expected that, as a result of the unusual interest and the extreme effort to arrange preliminary details and to systematize the celebration, Newberry College will, this year, be proud of the cooperation extended by the community. It is hoped also that every citizen will take some small part in the affair and keep in mind that 41NEWBERRY COLLEGE IS OUR COLLEGE.” Newbery Chamber of Commerce HOMESTEAD FILLING STATION ROBBED OF $60 On the night of May 20, the Home'- stead Filling station was robber of *60.

Summer, one of the most popular merchants of Newberry, and Miss Mayme Swittenberg, a leading member of the faculty of the Pros perity city schools, were married by the Rev. Edw. Fulenwider on Wed nesday evening at 9 o’clock, at the residence of Dr. Wheeler in Prosperi ty where the bride boarded. It was a quiet marriage, and the happy couple left on the Cannon Bail train for an extended bridal tour. It was not a surprise marriage, as the many friends had been expecting the event for some time. The friends have in mind the congratulations and well wishes to be extended Mr. and Mrs. Summer upon their return. The bride has a large circle of relatives and friends in the, county, where she is well known as a successful school teacher, having filled important posi tions in her profession. The groom is a successful business man as well as a succesful citizen in all the walks of life, and is withal one of the best men Newberry ever produced. We are glad to record the crowning happi ness that has come into the life and prosperous career of "Hach", as he is affectionately called by those who love him for his kindness of heart.
