. . Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 38 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, JULY 12, 1940 SUder and Greneker—1856-1866 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE WHY THE CHANGE OF HEART The following two articles are out of the same newspaper. A newspaper owned by Ex-congressman John C. Taylor and Wilton Hall. The first was published just as the census count began and the other just after it had closed. Mr. Taylor had not announced for congress when the first article was published; he had announced when the second appeared. Could that POSSIBLY have had any thing to do with the change of heart? WHY IS PUBLIC INFORMATION BEING WITHHELD? Anderson Daily Mail. Although census enumerators in Anderson and throughout the Third Congressional District were suppos ed to have started their rounds col lecting information from householders and others today, on inquiry this morning at the office of Director H. L. Fulmer brought the response that the list of local enumerators was “not available”. • That the trouble lies in the office of Dr. Fulmer is indicated by the fact that directors in virtually every other district in this and neighboring states have already published such lists. The census is public business, and as such the public has the right to know what is taking place. Especially should they be informed as to the identity of the persons who were to day going from house to house in terviewing residents. The fact that the list was being withheld by Dr. Fulmer indicates ether gross infficiency in his organi zation. or a malicious and altogether unjustified attempt to withhold public informatien. To Dr. Henry L. Fulmer: Congratulations! As supervisor of the sixteenth dec ennial census survey in the Third Con gressional District you and your staff of workers have turned in a job worthy of any and everybody’s praise and commendation. I wish to especially commend you for the fairness and impartiality you displayed in undertaking this gigantic task. At best it was a job fraught with possibilities for criticism, petty grevances and utter lack of harmony and cooperation, I can well imagine you knew this. Yet you have so conducted the affairs of the office entrusted you, and have so faithfully discharged the duties of that office, that I sincerely believe there is no room for just criticism. Then, too, in accepting the responsi bility you brought to your new job a keen and statistically-trained mind. Yours was the ability to expertly sift and analyze a given group of figures. Mere scratchings on the surface did not sate your curiosity, you had to delve deeper and learn the why and wherefore. And in so doing you have rendered the people of the Third Con gressional District a great favor. We are now in possession of facts, and figures that otherwise might have re mained beyond our grasp. Yes, yours is a job well done and for that we thank you. May you long live with the satisfaction of know ing that you undertook a difficult task, that you did it well and that you have the heart-felt thanks of all who came in contact with you.

Berlin, Germany SUCCESS The man who is a success who ha.s lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a per fect poem or a rescued soul who never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it, who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. His memory is a benediction. GETS IT IN THE NECK AGAIN As if the New Deal didn’t do an al most complete job of ruining the far mer, now comes Hitler with his war to finish him off. There is an old saying which runs like this: “Fall to each what e’er befall: The farmer he must pay for all.” And that is true. Whatever the truth of world affairs old man farmer gets it in the neck. The fact that he has always had to operate from hand to mouth precludes a possibility of his banding together as other industries to exact a fair price for his labor and his product. Somebody else usually owns his stuff before it is ready for market. It is safe to assume that trade bar riers will be erected in Europe after this war to exclude anything that can possibly be raised over there and with half the world under the thumb of Hitler no one need doubt but that stuff will be raised. America knows something about raising crops with slave labor. Yes, the farmer will again bear the brunt of war, along with the little newspaper man, and small tradesmen BEST BY TEST NAZI NO-STOP GASOLINE Get More Death Per Mile In actual tests made in Belgium and France, tanks and airplanes using Nazi-No-Stop gasoline, averaged 5,000 dead men, women and children per mile.

Little did I think that when I began I would be correspondent that long. When I began I was just a young man 24 years old. Now on July 2i I will be 64 years old. How rapidly the time passes by! It seems such a short time that I began this work. As a weekly correspondent I have been writing about 13 years. I have been working for Mr. Armfield 10 years and six months. How did you enjoy the Fourth? I enjoyed it by eating a fine barbecue at Jolly Street. I compliment the ladies for serving me such a fine din ner. I spent a while the Fourth of July morning with Mr. E. P. Kinard. He showed me some of his fine cotton. It was almost waist high to me and 1 was full of shapes and blooms. He said he and his brother, I. E., had about 14 acres like it. NYA OFFICE BUSY PLACE The NYA office located on Boyce street is a scene of much activity, says Mrs. J. H.
