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.

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

40 Years a Correspondent
On July 15 it will be 40 years since
I began writing for the papers. 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

Thomas H. Pope, Jr.
Representative Thomas H. Pope,
Jr., announced Monday that he would
withdraw from the race for the House
and accept the position of legal coun
sel for the state unemployment com
pensation commiaupn in Columbia.
Mr. Pope has Served the county four
years as a member of the House, re
ceiving a flattering vote in each of
his nominations. He has been very ac
tive in the social and business life of
the city as well as in the realm of
politics.
Mr. Pope has had a number of im
portant cases in the local courts and
has been very successful in gaining
decisions for his clients. He has
made it known that he will continue
to practice law in the city and that
Felix B. Green, a recent graduate
of the University law school, will be
associated with jiim.
Mr. Pppe, in a letter to Chairman
Neal Workman, announcing his with
drawal from the race, expressed deep
thanks for the confidence his home
people has placed in him, end regret
ted that circumstances were such that
he felt it necessary to withdraw from
the race.
Mr. Pope pointed out in his letter
to Mr. Workman that the law was
his chosen profession and that the new
job offered opportunity for a broaden
ing of his knowledge along that line.
Although Newberry people regret
to see Mr. Pope leave the county dele
gation, consensus of opinion seems to
be that he acted wisely.

The home of Mr. and Mrs. C. F.
Lathan was the scene of a simple but
pretty wedding ceremony Saturday
morning, July 10, at high noon, the
contracting parties being Miss Lucile
Lathan and Mr. Thomas L. Bridges

pected until it was 'iscovered or run
down by Mr. P. C. Gaillard that it
was a merry party of young friends
of Fulmer Wells wanting to give him
a last speeding farewell as the train
passed through. They had been to
the depot at Newberry to see him off
on his way to California, and took a
notion to get another look at him, so
off they went and beat the train to
Helena.
