Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 35 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE % SABING CIVILIZATION You have been told that we must do our part to save civilization. Let’s stop a moment and see how sincere we are in that desire. About three years ago a nation of peace loving people, well on their way to become a great democracy under a Christian leader; a people who have never given us or anyone else any trouble; a people who have contributed in untold measure to the cultural, spiritual and material wel fare of the world; a people whose civilization is perhaps the oldest in the world, were invaded by an imper ialistic nation armed to the teeth and bent on the slaghter of all who got in their way. Defenseless city after city were bombed without mercy and thousands upon thousands of women and children slaughtered. The vic tim was China and the imperialistic aggressor was Japan. Now, where was out great country during this merciless killing? Did you hear any talk of sending our “vast resources” to help save civili zation then? You did not! What you heard instead was that this country was selling to Japan much of the material with which to kill those peace-loving people. The only ones who raised their voices were the mis sionaries who Iknew and loved them as a people who were honorable and up right, kindly and generous. No, the House of Morgan and the International Jew had no such inter est in China as they have in Europe, and that is the reason we went about our business unconcerned while these helpless people were being slaught ered. Doctor Roosevelt and his co-war makers are using every method pos sible to stir tlie people of this coun try to a state of frenzy over- the European situation. Over the radio comes touching word pictures of the “beautiful city of Paris” falling into Hitler’s hands. They speak of its “great contribution to world civiliza tion” in an attempe to move emotion al Americans. But let us remember this, the City of Paris, as great as it may be, is of brick and mortar but the sons of American mothers arc her life’s blood; a product of a;;:my and fear and danger, and all of that great city is not to be compared in worth to even one of them. The country should have learned its lesson from the thousancs of American boys who now rest under foreign soil and from the bleached bones scattered about the battle fields of France; from the daily suffering of tens of thousands of Americans now in government hospi tals; from the war widows and from the billions that the war cost us and is Still costing us and will continue to cost us, for generations to come. No, the war makers want to drafn the blood of another generation of our boys to save the investments of the Morgans, the International Jew and others of their ilk. Damn that greedy crowd! They should be told in no uncertain terins by the mothers of this nation that their boys will never fight again unless someone at tempts to invade our shores. It is truly a God-send that this nation is not ready to fight, else we would have already been in it. We have time to prepare but none of it should be wasted. And it might be well for the people to remember that we will never get prepared if the present administration goes about it like it went about defeating the de pression. The voice of every Ameri can should be heard at this critical time. Your senator and your con gressman should know that Inless something tangible is shown by Nov ember that you intend to vote for someone who will do something, re gardless of the party to whom they belong. This is no time to consider party affiliation. This is a time for definite and straightforward action. Every American man and woman should ask himself or herself this question: What amount of help could we expect from England should we find ourselves in war with say, with Japan ? There is but one answer to that, and that answer may be found in the insatiable greed of the British Empire. Far from helping us they would try to turn our misery into profit for themselves. That has al ways been their policy and there is no reason to believe they have chang ed. They wouldn't pay us the honest money they borrowed during the world war; instead they repaid us with insults when we tried to collect it. Close newspaper reads will remem ber a little incident that shows bet ter than anything else the great “democratic heart” of the British ruling class. It was, I believe, shortly after the now deposed Edward came to the throne that he made a trip to a British coal mine. He was so touched by the misery he found that he made a public statement to the ef fect that he would devote the rest of his life to trying to better the condi tion of these ,people. A storm went up from the royal wretches and thus Edward was started on his way out. His marriage only precipated what was in the background. This condi tion of misery you will remember existed in the richest empire on the face of the earth. The masses of the people in England have little if any voice in their government. The royal punks own them body and soul and dish out what 'they want them to have. And we are asked to save this in the name of democracy! The next crisis for this country in the war situation will come when Hitler lights on England and that may be before the ink dries on these words. It is there that the million aires have their bonds and invest ments and they are going to do their level best to use this attack to push us over the edge to which the great Doctor Roosevelt has led us, Every man and woman in this community should write today to our lawmakers and tell them we want no part in any foreign war; that we will not fight unless our country is actually threat ened. And it is well to remember that to this date we have not been threat ened by anyone. Our own country is the one which has been doing the threatening. Our country can best contribute to the future peace of the world by building itself up to command the respect of all peoples everywhere. We cannot do this as long as we try to run the affairs of Europe at the same time. In taking such a stand it does not mean that we are to draw within our shell; it means only that if we are strong in our peaceful inten tions others will listen to us in in stances where we may be called upon to negotiate between peoples. We can be of real help to the people of the world if we are strong for it is every where known that we want nothing from any nation.

Jury Absolves Youth In Saturday Patricide Harry Mills was found not guilty in common, pleas court Monday of the death of his father, Sam Mills, Saturday evening at their home in the city. Mrs. Mills testified she and Mr. Mills had been married 29 years and had five sons and one daughter; that Harry, who is 18, had undergone three operations in the Columbia hospital about two years ago and had never fully regained his strength. She testified that she was prepar ing supper when her husband began abusing and striking Ronald, 16, the youngest for smoking cigarettes, when the youth pleaded for him not to hit him. Her husband then grabb ed a chair and suddenly dropped it, went for his gun and was standing in the screen door aiming the shot gun at one of the boys who was leaving the dwelling when Harry fir ed and struck his father in the right shoulder, almost simultaneously an other load' struck him in the left eye. The shots were fired after the elder Mills had threatened to get the whole family. Mrs. Mills who has supported the family most of the time while her husband was constantly away from home, at one time for seven years, testified she lived under a threat and that the two loaded shells removed from her husband’s gun were purch ased to kill her with. He was drink ing heavily and his behavior was ter rible. “Just too bad for me to tell it”. For the past three months he was at home unemployed and was drinking about three times a week. Things had become almost unbearable, she de clared 1 . Mr. Mills was regarded as a crack shot. The two shotguns with two empty shells and two loaded ones were placed in evidence. Thomas H. Pope represented the family. At the end of the testimony, Solicitor Beasley asked for a verdict of self-defense. An inquest was held early Monday amd the trial followed later.

DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO The time for filing pledges and en tering the county campaign for of fice closed Monday noon. There does not seem to be much desire this year for public office. The reason probably is that the field in pursuits is more inviting and the pay better. Indica tions are that the campaign will be quiet and the people will be able to register their choice where there are opposing candidates without preju dice or passion. The opening meet ing of the campaign will be held this Tuesday morning at 10:30 o’clock in the court house and then there will be no further meeting until the 3rd of August at Young’s Grove at Pros perity. The water situation in Newberry is serious but not alarming if the people wll conserve andi not waste. It is tto be regretted that we have not a sufficient supply to water yards and gardens, but it is much more im portant to have a sufficient supply for fire and drinking purposes. When the new well is completed the supply wall be adequate. The main well of the town is furnishing the same amount of water that it has always furnished, but the town has been growing and •Jve people are using more water than heretofore, and the supply is not sufficient for summer demands.
