The young son of Mr. and Mrs. J.
. Wiseman, in a formal visit to The
[Sun office this week., informed the
[press that he" now is to be referred to
[as Jim Wiseman. Heretofore, it’s
[been Jimmie. “I’m not little any
[more, I’m a grown-up boy,” he told a
[reporter, “and I want to be called
Jim.” And with a polite thank-you
(turned to the door and walked out. It
fill started like this: a traveling sales-
nan was watching the young Wi&e-
nan write out his name—Jimmie. In
!iis childish scribble it took some time
to accomplish this task, so the sales-
an suggested he merely write “Jim”
[telling him that he would be called
that anyway when he grew up and it
vouldn’t take nearly so long to write.
[So young Jim Wiseman has officially
[informed his mother, his daddy, and
[the gentleman of the press of this
all-important change in his life.
Tree Question
Since the first mention of the water
find light commission’s plans for re-
Viring the city and hiring tree ex
perts to do some tree trimming, talk
has been going, thick and fast, that
before long practically every tree in
town will be cut down, leaving the city
kll but bare. The very idea that all
[.he beautiful trees on Calhoun, College
land other streets will be cut down
Deems absurd. Before such a thing
bould happen home owners would rise
lip in a body and threaten to tar and
feather anyone who tried it. It’s a
riown fact that the leading citizens
|>f the town hate to see a single tree
down. Furthermore, there's not
more nature-loving citizen than the
luperintendent of the water and light
plant. We’ve been around him long
[mough to know that, and he appre
ciates a tree as much as the next
oerson. We know that he had a fin
der in the planning of the Newberry
:ounty park drive and also know that
he caused that drive to be changed a i
little in some places to keep from
cutting down a particularly old and
lovely tree. It’s apparent that he will
stand along with the newly organized
Tree Commission and other promi
nent citizens in seeing that no more
trees in the city go down than abso
lutely necessary. With the heavier
wiring to be put up, it would seem
that a little tree trimming is all nec-
cessary to handle the situation. After
all, we’ve had pretty good and effi
cient current service through the past
years—trees and all.
In Three Months
Friday, November 15, is i. long ways
off but news has just come of an Im
portant event on that date—the ap
pearance of the Kyrl Symphony orch
estra in Newberry. What a treat we
have in store! It’s one of those must-
attend affairs. Making plans for the
appearance of this famous group is a
committee of three—Dudley French,
chairman, Z. F. Wright, and Hal Kohn.
Ten local citizens have underwritten
the Kyrl contract. And since this an
nouncement is three months ahead of
time, you have ample notice to keep
November 15 open.
You Never Know
Until some calamity has occurred
like the Sunday coast hurricane, you
never realize how people get about.
There must have been hundreds of
Newberrians at Charleston or one of
the beaches this weekend. Every
wry you turn you hear someone tell
ing of his experiences at one of the
coastal cities over the weekend. We
understand there was a record crowd
of the season ae Myrtle Beach Satur
day. Newberrians contributed to that
crowd and many were at Charleston,
toe largest part being down to see
the boys of the Coast Artillery at
Moultrie. However, very little visit
ing, bathing in the sea, or the like was
possible over the weekend.

To The Voters Of
Newberry County:
It has come fo my attention that
certain individuals, in an effort to
discredit me, have been making the
statement throughout the County that
I have been unfair in the apportion
ment of school funds of certain school
districts. The only district named so
far as I have been able to get the in
formation, is O’Neall School District.
It is being told prior to my occupancy
of the office of County Superintendent
of Education that district, from its
funds, was able to pay on a school
district debt the sum of $500.00 each
year; that since I became superin
tendent that $500.00 payment was no
longer necessary, and that the school
was still not able to get the benefit
of that sum each year. It is true that
the school debt was paid. However,
O’Neall School District has been get
ting the benefit of that sum of $500.00.
The fact is overlooked by those who
are making these incorrect state
ments that the transportation expen
ses of the school district have increas
ed. These increases have been due
to the fact that the bus routes have
been extended both in Newberry and
Saluda Counties to bring pupils to
the O’Neall High School. When I
went into office, the school year of
1935-36, the cost of transportation of
pupils amounted to $1386.00. Because
of the extension of the routes and the
new contracts necessary under the
law, the cost of transportation in the
school year 1936-37 was $1770.07. In
1937-1938, the transportation cost
amounted to $1908.10. In 1938-39, it
amounted to $2131.10. In 1939-40, it
amounted to $1958.40. It will be seen
that there has been an average yearly
increase in the transportation expen
ses from 1935-36 to the present of
$555.92. So without increasing the
tax levy, O’Neall School District has
been able to take care of its increased
transportation expense. This increase
would explain, also, why the district
has not been able to lay aside the sum
of $500.00 per year, which it used
formerly to pay off its old debt.
I would like for the public to under
stand that the County Board of Edu
cation and the Superintendent of Edu
cation are bound by laws and by regu
lations of the State Board of Educa
tion and the State Superintendent of
Education in the disbursement of all
school funds. The Board and I both
try at all times to follow these laws
strictly. The books, both of my office
and of the County Treasurer’s office,
will show all amounts received to the
credit of each and every school district
of the County and all disbursements.
Moneys paid out for each school dist
rict are paid only upon vouchers sign
ed by the trustees of the school dist
rict. These must be countersigned and
approved by the County Superintend
ent of Education. Each year I have
been in office, a certified public ac
countant has examined all the records
and vouchers of my office, as well as
those of the County Treasurer. He
has always reported the receipts of
funds by the treasurer and the dis
bursements approved by my office as
being correct. In addition, all these
books and records have been subject
to the scrutiny of the Comptroller
General of the State and of the grand
jury of Newberry County. In not a
single instance has there been a crit
icism of the manner of these dis
bursements. The books of my office
as well as those of the County Treas
urer, are open always to public in
spection. Anyone interested in any
record in my office will be gladly
shown by me such record.
Under the law, any school principal,
school trustee, or any other interested
citizen, had the right to file with the
State Superintendent of Education
any complaint as to any unfair distri
bution or payment of school funds. I
am glad to say that no such complaint
has ever been filed regarding my of
fice.
I regret that it seems necessary for
me to malke this statement, but it is
my purpose always to give the public
correct information. This statement
is due not only to myself, but it is
also due the members of the County
Board of Education and to Honorable
J. H. Hope, the State Superintendent
of Education, whose duty it is to see
that I perform my duty.

Ralph Black
Candidate For
Treasurer
TO THE VOTERS OF
NEWBERRY COUNTY
The affairs of the Treasurer’s office
are 100 per cent in order. Every item
of county expenditures can be
quickly accounted for by reference to
the books which are always kept up-
to-date and open for the inspection of
any interested citizen.
The keeping of the records in first
class shape so that information may
be readily -available has been one of
my first considerations in the conduct
of the office.
The money of all taxpayers of the
counity is being spent and I deem it
proper that they should be able at
all times to examine the records and
know where it is being spent, if they
so desire.
An increasing number of voters are
assuring me that, aside from anything
else, I should be returned to the office
because of my experience 3nd know
ledge of the fiscal set-up. I know that
this experience is an asset to the
I county and I am glad to note that
many are taking this view point.
Think it through, and I am willing
to leave it to the voters of the
county who I am convinced are always
willing and ready to do the fair thing
—the thing they deem best for their
county.

(Continued from page one)
average income in the States are now
being collected and published an
nually by the Department of Com
merce, and he expressed the firm con
viction that a formula could easily be
worked out on such a basis, saying
this plan would be more desirable than
the existing one. On page 809 of the
hearings he says:
“ ‘We think there ought to be
a system of variable grants in
stead of this flat matching and
that variable grant should be rea-
lated to the economic caoacity and
need of the individual States.’
“On page 813 of the hearing he
states:
“ ‘We think that this average
per capita income is the best
single criteria.’
“However, Tie testified with a great
deal of emphasis as well as logic that
it would be most unfortunate for the
Federal Government to assume full
responsibility and pay the full amount
saying that the States should be charg
ed with the duty and responsibility of
determining the eligibility of appli
cants and, at the same tme, contribute
to their needs in proporton to the per
capita wealth. That is, the contribu
tions by the States should be in pro
portion to their ability to pay. This
will enable the poorer States to in
crease the number of beneficiaries, as
well as the amount paid to each.
“I am calling attention to the above
problem at this time with the hope
the matter may receive careful study
and consideration in the next Con
gress.”
