DUTCH FORK WINNERS PLAY AT JOLLY STREET SATURDAY The hottest place around here Sat urday August 3rd will be the Jolly Street ball diamond—and it won’t be because of the weather. Jolly Street and Peak in a dead- heat race for top place in the Dutch Fork will go after each other on the Jolly Street diamond Saturday Aug ust 3rd at 4:00 o’clock. For the first time in several weeks indications point to that Jolly Street will have their full strength, with Dump Singley on the mound. Rister or Corley will do Peak’s hurling. One of the largest crowds of the season is expected at Jolly Street Saturday. Game time prompt at 4:00 o’clock. Political Meeting Will Be At Park The Democratic Executive commit tee met Saturday at the call of Chair man Neal W. Workman for the pur pose of purging the club rolls and transacting other business. The Committee first heard Thos. H. Pope, Jr., give reasons why his entry fee in the House race should be returned. Mr. Pope said he want ed his money back because he was entitled to it. The fact that he had been tendered a “good job” had not put any money into his pocket, and he intimated that should his military unit be called for a year’s training as proposed under a pending bill he may not be able to take the place. A rising vote resulted in a tie. The chairman was unable to determine the results of a voice vote and ordered a roll call. The roll call resulted in an other tie. 22-22, and at this point Brvan Stribble committeeman from Oakland Changed his vote giving the decision to Mr. Pone bv a majority of one vote. B. B. Leightsey gave no tice that the matter may se appealed to the State Committee and O. F\ Armfield moved that the secretary be instructed to return the money to Mr. Pope Saturday. The committee agreed to change the place of the final campaign meet ing here from the old court house to Margaret Hunter park. It also agreed to accept the responsibility for con ducting the voting in the liquor ref erendum. COTTON CROP OF S. C. IS GOOD VSITING HERE The Rev. S. C. Ballentine of Vin ton, Va., is spending a couple of weeks with relatives and friends in New berry, Little Mountain, White Rock, Pomaria and Leesville. He plans to attend the Little Mountain reunion next Friday and the Ballentine famiily reunion at the Delmar school grounds in Saluda county on Wednesday, August 7th. COLUMBIA, Julv 31.—South Caro lina’s cotton crop “is in good condi tion and made good progress” during the week ended July 30 but rain is “generally needed” over the state, the Columbia weather hu“eau reported to day. Cotton bolls are beginning to open in the southern section and weevil activity is being checked by the hot, dry weather, the bureau said. There were widely scattered showers but many sections were reported lacking adeouate moisture. “Com^ truck, gardens, forage, sweet potatoes and pastures are mostly in fairly good condition,” the bureau said, “but some deterioration is re ported due to the unfavorable hot weather and lack of moisture. “Conditions were favorable for harvesting and curing tobacco and this work is well advanced. Early corn is maturing and the shipment of commercial peaches from the Piedmont is active. Melons and vege tables are still plentiful.” ALL METHODIST CIRCLES TO MEET MONDAY The circles of the Woman’s Mis sionary Society of Central Methodist church will meet Monday afternoon at four o’clock as follows: number 1, Mrs. L.

HIT BY AUTOMOBILE Madison Pitts, T r., of Denmark is reported “fairly well” at the Newber ry county hospital this morning fol lowing injuries received late Wednes day afternoon when hit by an auto mobile near the Margaret Hunter swimming pool. The boy was visit ing his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Duncan of the city. DOWN MEMORY LANE SEEN ABOUT TOWN PREACHES TO JAIL BIRDS FYank Scarborough was in to see me the other morning and asked that it be said he was now preaching at the county jail each Sunday after noon from three to four and would welcome anyone inclined to come and help him. He also preaches to the old people at the county home on Fourth Sunday afternoons. Frank wants the next Supervisor to build him a little chapel out there. Services are now held in one room of one of the cabins. I hadn’t seen anything of Frank in several years. He is an operative at Oakland mill and said he got a call to preach about two years ago. Frank is a Methodist and while he didn’t have book learning enough to preach to the silk stocking crowd, the Metho dist fixed him up to exhort in the low brackets. He is licensed to carry the message to jail birds, newspaper men and such cattle but Frank says that doesn’t matter to him, since there are souls to save even in that category. Frank tells of an old man at the jail who at first scorned his message. He did not bother to even stir from his cot until one Sunday something got under his shirt, and it wasn’t a bee. The old brother, like Jacob, wrestled all night until the break of day, when the sun streaming thru the bars marked the felon’s stripes on his bent frame. And then it hap- pended, said Frank. He sang and he shouted and he was in the front ranks of the sinners the next Sunday. He now declares he is going to live a straight life. And so, Frank has at least one an gel to his credit, for the Methodist allow them to backslide but never slide out entirely. DR. R. A.

They will spend most of the time camping on John’s island and will take trips to the Isle of Palms and other interesting points around the “City by the Sea”. They will be accompanied by their little son, Joe Henry, and be gone about ten days. One of the things we do not under stand is why Newberry, with as fine a class of physicians as can be found in the state, can not have a hospital for the many cases requiring opera tion or treatment in surgical and medical institutions. Newberry has a fine class of ministers for the spirit ual welfare of the community; a fine class of professors with college and schools for the educational uplift of rising generations; and a fine class of lawyers with public buildings suit ed for a part of humanity. Then why not a hospital? Session Brings New Teachers Many changes will be noted in the faculty of Newberry college in the 1940-41 session which opens Septem ber 12.

RECENT ARRIVALS NOTES FROM MARGARET HUNTER SWIMMING POOL Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Jones of Mont gomery street announce the birth of a son at the county hospital on Wed nesday, July 24. The baby has been named Dennis Randall. Mrs. George Hawkins, popular lead er of the large troop of Girl Scouts at Mollohon, was given a surprise birthday party Monday evening fol lowing the regular Scout session. After the brief meeting at the Mol lohon club house, Mrs. Hawkins was planning to leave for home when some of the girls asked her to stop by the dining room where, much to • her surprise, she found a lovely birth day cake and all the trimmings await ing her. The table was centered with a vase of pink radiance roses and at the head of the table in front of Mrs. Hawkins’ place was a large birthday cake iced in gold and green. Girl Scout colors. A salad plate with iced tea and cake was served and each of the girls presented their leader with a gift. Additional guests for the occasion were Miss Emma Huffstettler, the Rev. James B. Mitchell, and Harold Fulmer of Prosperity With all the farmers owning auto mobiles and many of them trucks with which to do their hauling, it seems strange that they do not demand giore road improvement and better high ways over which to drive and to haul. When a good road means so much in the saving of time and dollars, it seems the people along the way would do more than simply be in favor of good roads. They are coming and it won’t be as long as it has been. Some one will devise a way and the means to bring them about. GIRL SCOUTS WEEKENDING AT POINSETT PARK The large and active Girl Scout troop of Mollohon headed by Mrs. George Hawkins leaves this weekend for their second camping trip of the summer.

Clarifies Position on Naming of Park Because of numerous inquiries con cerning the naming contest for the Newberry County park it* Lynch Woods, and the August opening cele bration of the park, we publish below a letter received today from the* New berry Chamber of Commerce. It seems that the exact nature of this contest is not fully clear to the pub lic. The letter is as follows: Mr. Otto Armfield, Editor The Sun Newberry, S. C. Dear Mr. Armfield: Numerous inquiries concerning the naming contest for the County park and opening celebration in Lynch Woods show clearly that the exact nature of this project is not fully un derstood by the pub'ic. Therefore, we wish to explain a few important points which have been the subjects of these inquiries. 1. “Dedication” of the park. The August Celebration is by no means the official dedication of the park. The dedication will probably be held in the spring of next year. The celebration in August of this year wi'l be only a small “public opening”, to officially inform the public that the park is • ready for their use, and in order to proclaim the park’s authoriz ed name. 2. The “Chamber of Com merce” contest. The contest is by no means a Cham ber of Commerce contest. It was authorized by the City Council and County Delegation jointly, the origin al suggestion being made by a mem ber of the City Council. The contest is not controlled by the Chamber cf Commerce, all rules, regulations and decisions being made by an authoriz ed joint committtee of the Town, the County, the Park Comm’ssion and the Chamber of Commerce. For conven ience, suggestions are to be address ed to the Newberry Chamber of Coin- (Continued on page eight) Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Oliver Hawkins announce the birth of a son, James Oliver, at the Newberry county hos pital Sunday, July 28.

The enrollment for this school was 226 with an average at tendance of 198 and 188 certificates were awarded. We were highly pleased with the wonderful cooperation on the part of the parents and teachers who made the schools so successful. School buses were used to help bring the children which made it possible to have a high average in attendance. Many words of encouragement and appreciation have come to us concern ing the schools for which we are grateful. We want to express our thanks to each one who helped in any way to make our Bible Schools the grand schools which they were.
