♦ A'l Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 39 The Rising Sun-1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, JULY 19, 1940 SIMer and Greaeker—18S8-18M OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE POORLY PAID PREACHERS When I begin to reflect upon the downtrodden of the earth my mind turns to our country preachers. Sev eral years ago I had opportunity to see a list of 400 members of a group of Newberry churches. The largest contributor on that list was a man I knew to be the owner of several hundred acres, besides business houses and cattle upon seven hills. At the head of the list stood this man with the princely sum of $12 affixed fol lowing his name. There were school teachers, filling station operator, and other professions and trades repre sented, as well as farmei-s. Amounts behind their names ran from 50c to $6. These amounts were of course for a year. This situation accounts for the mis erly salaries paid the ministers Who serve these churches. For the sum of $1200 to $1400 per year these men are expected to bring joy, salvation and comfort to some three or four hundred sinners. To some old coot who perhaps pays $2 a year to his upkeep the preacher is expected in time of affliction to hold his hand and quote beatitudes until he thinks he’s an angel when in reality the devil already has him by the heel. Yes, the country preacher has a lot of unpleasant work to do for the lit tle money he gets. The city preach ers have the thing worked out pretty well. His parishioner goes to a nice clean hospital where the parson peeps in on him and has a nice chat with a pretty nurse; says he’ll see him again soon and forgets all about him until he is notified to get ready _ to put him away with proper Christian ceremony. I don’t believe a fellow who has money and is stingy with it toward his dhuiich will have much of a show in glory. I believe St. Peter will take him around to the side door and make him stay on the beck streets. If he has a harp at all, the strings will be broken, ard his wings will be of the mail order variety and liable to shrink if he messes around in the clouds. He will be excluded 1 from the Heavenly Fifth Avenue of those good old Saints who paid their money lib erally that their preachers might live in a degree of security and com fort. . Too many of us give to the church on a basis of what we have left over, which is usually nothing. The preach ers can’t give us anything tangible for our coin, so we buy the tangibles and let the intangibles go, even tho’ we know deep down in our hearts that someday, somewhere, there will be an accounting—that we will face something very real, and that our alibis and excuses will be known be fore they are framed in our mouths. CLEMSON AND TOM The choice of Clemsom Wilson as executive secretary of the Unemploy ment commission will prove popular in Newberry as it should be in the rest of the State. He is a man of considerable business and political acumen, withal possessing an open and pleasing personality. That two of the Columbia plums fell into the laps of Newberry men is as it should be. It has been a long, long time since anyone from these diggings has been able to success fully shake the old tree. And the mystery of Tom Pope’s appointment still confounds us. If we mistake not Tom was one of the bitterest foes of plums going to members of the House. That Tom was under the tree when the shaking started is no discredit to him. If he had had his way back yonder he would not have been eli gible for the place. Why did they allow an opponent of the System to get in on it? Both “Clem” and Tom will do cred it to their jobs and Newberry is proud that home talent is being rec ognized. KENDALL MILLS LUTHERAN Rev. J. B. Harman, pastor Summer Memorial; , , Sunday 10 a. m.

MAE AULL ADDRESSES KIWANIS MEMBERS At the regular luncheon of the Ki- wanis club Wednesday at the New berry Hotel, Mrs. Mae Aull, county attendance teacher, was principal speaker. Using for he rsubject, “At tendance Service”, Mrs. Aull related the cooperation of local service clubs with the attendance worker. She pointed out that the attendance law that went into effect two years ago not only had increased enrollment but had indirectly aided in the task of obtaining clothes and other necessary items for needy persons. Such was made possible thru the attendance teacher who contacted these people concerning school matters and when such oases were found aid was given by local service and civic organiza tions. D. W. A. Neville was pre«iding over the Kiwanis meet 'and James N. Beard (had charge of the day’s program.

HARE IN ADDRESS URGES BYRNES’ NOMINATION Saluda Congressman Says Senses Responsibility In Chicago Meet CONVENTION HEADQUARTERS, Chicago, July 16.—.Pointing to the contributions to American democracy of three great South Carolinians— Henry Laurens, Charles Pinckney and John C. Calhoun, Rep. Butler B. Hare of Saluda today told a nation-wide radio audience that the preservation of these gains could be secured thru the nomination Senator James F. Byrnes for vice president. The third district congressman re counted to the radio audience a re markable coincidence which occurred at Washington Union station as he entrained for Chicago, and asked if this did not point to the need and wisdom of calling upon his fellow South Carolinian in these critical days for democracy. In his brief radio address, Hare decal red: Senses Responsibility, “I never attended a political meet ing or convention with a greater in spiration or with a sense of more personal responsibility in my life. “Saturday night, wthert I passed through Union! station in Washington to board a Pennsylvania railroad train for Chicago to attend the democratic national convention, the gate-keeper advised that my seat was in the fourth coach ahead. As I passed the first coach, I saw printed on the side an entrance in brilliant golden letters the name of Henry Laurens. My thoughts reverted at or"e to the not able contribution this illustrious pat riot of South Carlonia made fo- in dependence in those dark gloomy days of the Revolution. For the historianc say that it was he who gave new hope to Washington when he was all but ready to give up in despair; it was his actions that inspired the patriotic leaders and their follower! at Kings Mountain, Eutaw Springs and York- tawn. Remembers Pinckney “As I passed the second coach, there on its side, just as brilliant and golden appeared the name of Charles Pinckney, another South Carolinian, who contributed as much as any one in that great political convention where life, lib erty, religious freedom and the pur suit of happiness were assured to the American people in that great est document of all political history —The Constitution of the United States. “But before I had time to realize that the spirit of these departed souls might be present, I passed to the third coach, and there on its side in letters more brilliant and pregnant with though and inspiration was the name of John) C. Calhoun, another il- lustrous South Carolinian, Who de voted and gave his life to the mainte nance and preservation of the rights of the people bought and paid for with the blood and sacrifice of others. “Here I stopped and mentally in quired if this picture or experience were only a coincidence or was it to refresh my memory and to remind me of my personal responsibility as a delegate to this convention? “Regardless of either interpreta tion, there was an inspiration and a conscious responsibility never before experienced, and there came a further realization that the safety and perpet uation of the institutions made pos sible and established by these pat riots and their patriots will be de termined in a large measure by the actions of this convention. “Therefore, I am urging the nomi nation of another illustrious South Carolinian, Senator James F. Byrnes, for vice president of the United states.” ONE OF SEASON’S BEST PICTURES HERE SOON A “must-see” moving picture and one that’s most important to see from the very beginning of the film is “Rebecca” starring Joan Fontaine and Lawrence Oliver. It’s from the best seller “Rebecca” written by Dap hne Du Maurier. Those of you who have read the book know of its surprising outcome. Those who do know the story will have to see it from the beginning to enjoy it to the fullest. Strange as it may sound, “Rebec ca” is never seen in the picture, yet you are aware or her throughout. The picture displays some superb act ing and is one of the best of many, many months. You will like it’s strange and unusual trend. “Rebecca” plays next Monday and Tuesday, July 22 and 23, at the Opera House. NEWBERRIANS TO CHOOSE NAME FOR COUNTY PARK Along with plans for a formal de- dication of the county park located in Lynch Wood next Monday will go a new name—when a new name has been selected.

Blease leaves the city Sunday for Hot Springs, Arkan sas. Going by train, Mr. Blease will spend about ten or fifteen days m Hot Springs. Chapel At Helena To Be Dedicated Residents of the Helena community and other interested persons will| gather Sunday at Helena to dedicate the neat white wooden church with a steeple that has just been erected there. The church, organized and sponsored by Aveleigh Presbyterians of the city, is attended by church goers of various denominations in the community and was started about four and a half years ago. The new $1500 building was erected this past May with the following as members of the building committee: B. M. Scurry, chairman; Miss Mary Cook, secretary; Miss Henrietta Leon- hirth, Mrs. O. F. Armfield, the Rev. C. A. Calcote', Malcolm Cook, Derrill Smith, and E. B. Purcell. On Easter of 1936 the first service sponsored by the Presbyterians, Sun day school exercises, were held at Helena. A few days prior to that, Mr. Calcote with a group of young people from his church cleaned off the yard of an old deserted house that had not been occupied for many years. The owner of the house and lot, Miss Henrietta Leonhirth of Hele na, gave permission for its use as NEW HELENA CHAPEL long as the Presbyterians wanted it. The first Sunday school exercises were held in the old house which was a few weeks later made a little more convenient for crowds to gather. Partitions were torn down and an auditorium or central gathering room made and two smaller rooms were changed into class rooms. In spite of the poor condition of the house, Sunday school services have been held there every Sunday for the past four and a half years and preaching ser vices every third Sunday in the month. Not until late in 1939 did plans be gin for a building. The lot was do nated and straightway funds seemed to come in from every side. Early in the spring of this year plans began for building with the contract hand led by the Newberry Lumber com pany, one of the large contributors to the building. Other contributors in cluded the following: Bel'k stores, Presbytery of South Carolina, Aveleigh Presbyterian church, Miss Henrietta Leonhirth, Constance Armfield, C. A, Calcote, H. M. Bryson, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Woods, Mrs. Sallie Williamson, Kib- ler Williamson, Mrs. Nellie Davis, Mrs. Alice Thompson, H. D. Whitaker Mrs. O. F.

Culbertson, Chevis Boozer, Miss Fannie MoCaughrin, Eugene S. Blease, Mrs. R. D. Smith, Mack Hutchinson, Mr. and Mrs. John Mills, Mr. and Mrs. Malcolm Cook, Miss Mary Cook, Mrs. C. J. Zobel, Happy Hiller, Herman Langford, Circle Two, Woman’s Auxiliary of Aveleigh church, Business Women’s Circle of Aveleigh church, Pete Cole man, Thompson Dennis, Jack Chap pell, R. D. Smith, Clayton Smith, Sam Williams, Miss Minnie Gist, W. R. Reid, J. F. McConnell, George Davenport, Charlie Douglas, D. W. A. Neville, R. M. Lominack, C. T. Sum mer, Carter Abrams. The church consisting of an audit orium and three class rooms is com pletely'equipped as those who attend the dedication service, Sunday, July 21, will observe. It is an attractive site in the Helena village. Plans are now underway for beautification of the lawn. Along with the new building will go a new name—“Leonhirth Memorial Chapel”—so named in honor of the parents of Miss Henrietta Leonhirth. The Leonhirth family donated the lot for the building. All residents of Helena are taking much interest in the new “white Church with a steeple” which is the only church in their community for white people. Unusually fine coop eration has been shown the Presbyter ians in their efforts there to establish a place of worship for, tqe community at large. . Varied programs have beep, carried on at the chapel since its organiza tion. Besides the usual Sunday school and church services, Bible schools and revival meetings are held each sum mer and a splendid Junior Choir is in charge of the music.

Anmen- berg, who amassed a fortune in pub- tures, learned today that he must en ter prison next wedk to begin serving a three year sentence for evading In come taxes. His last hope for clemency vanished when Federal Judge James H. Wil- kerson denied his petition for proba tion and refused his request for a six weeks extension of his stay of execu tion. The jurist explained that his action meant that the Philadelphia publisher would have to surrender next Mon day to start his trip to a government penitentiary. Annenberg received news of the decision with an air of resignation and in a spirit of dejection. To a re porter who located him in Gold Coast hotel, he stated: “I am going home to say 'goodbye to my 1 family. I am physically brok en. I am going to do the best I can, if I live.” U. S. Marshal William H. McDon nell said that Annenberg would be taken to the federal prison hv Lewis- burg, Pa., unless the department of justice designates some other insti tution.
