THE NEWBERRY SUN
Society
and CLUB
NOTES
By DORIS ARMFIELD
Purely Personal
Mrs. Rice Macfie and children of
Winnsboro spent several days with
her sister, Mrs. W. C. Ruff, and fam
ily.
The D. W. A. Neville family is
back in the city after several weeks
stay at Montreat, N. C.
IS THIS YOU?
Mr. Joe Wilson, who works at the
Post Office, was the person given a
quart of ice cream last week by
Stokes’ Drug store. Did any of you
recognize him ? This week, a quart
will be presented by Stokes’ to the
lady, seen in a downtown office Mon
day afternoon, talking on the phone.
She wore a blue, white dotted dress.
White buttons and buckle, and a
white collar edged with lace trimmed
the dress. Her pocketbook was black,
her shoes white. She has brown hair
and blue eyes. If this isn’t you, then,
MAYBE THIS IS
I know a good many of you guess
ed the politician described last week.
But in case you didn’t, it was Mr. C.
E. “Scrap” Hendrix, candidate for re-
election to the office of Superintendent
of Education. This week, The Sun
offers a quart of Stokes’ ice cream
to the stenographer-bookkeeper seen
in her office on Main street most ev
eryday. On Monday, she was wearing
a cream colored spun rayon dress
trimmed with small green buttons to
the waistline. A handkerchief to
match the buttons of her diess was
tucked in the pocket on the left side
of the blouse.
If the above described persons will
come to the Sun office by nex* Wed
nesday, they will receive a coupon en
titling them to a quart of ice cream
from Stokes’. And just a suggestion
. . . Stokes’ rum-raisin ice cream has
“different” flavor—it’s really good!

A Statement From the Congressman of
The Third Congressional District
TO THE VO’ 1 ERS OF THE
THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISI\:
Since I became a member of Con
gress of January 3, 1939, the Con
gress has been in session for nearly
seventeen of the nineteen months fol
lowing. Feeling it my duty to be
present and take part in the delibera
tions, I have not had opportunity to
be in the district but very little dur
ing the campaign and discuss with
you the problems that face the nation
at this time and explain my efforts to
assist in their solution. In view of
this situaton, I have from time to time
undertaken to advise you of my ser
vices and stewardship through
speeches and literature which I have
mailed and distributed throughout
this district.
In making this campaign, I am re
lying solely on my own record, to
which I invite the most careful consid
eration of every voter. I have given to
the district every minute of my ume
and have endeavored to render faith
ful, loyal, honest and conscientious
service. I have supported those poli
cies of government which I feel to be
for the best interest of my constitu
ents. At the same time I have sub
mitted to the Congress and advocated
those measures which I believe to be
: necessary for the welfare and pro
tection of this country. THE MOST
VITAL, PRESSING AND SERIOUS
PROBLEMS THIS NATION EVER
FACED ARE NOW BEFORE US
FOR SOLUTION. I AM GIVING
TO THEM ALL THE ENERGY AND
ABILITY I AM ABLE TO COM
MAND.
I therefore invite your considera
tion of my record, and trust that it
is such as to command the confidence
you reposed in me two years ago. I
pledge you continued devotion to duty
and will endeavor to render services
that will prove to be a credit to our
district, state, and nation.
Very Sincerely,
Butler B. Hare

STATE WILL NOT
BE REDISTRICTED
Attorney General John M. Daniel
said Tuesday that the 190,000 in
crease in the population of the state
as shown by the recent census would
not necessitate redistricting the state
or adding another congressman.
Mr. Daniel said that in the Pied
mont counties there were probably
more voters per county but the same
condition bad existed even before now.
The 1930 census necessitated the re-
districting of the stats and at that
time Butler Hare, then congressman
and since re-elected, was “districted
out” of office.
A Vote* For
JOE N. WILSON
Is A Vote For
The Best Interest of
Newberry County
No matter who is elected Supervisor
of the county, it will be my purpose’
to cooperate with him for the best in
terest of Newberry county.
Being more centrally located than
any one in the race gives me an ad
vantage which I think is well worth
consideration by the voters.
I favor publishing regulai; reoorts
of the money spent by the county, giv
ing the name of the person who got
it, how much and what it was spent
for.
I feel that I have made some little
success of my own affairs, and so far
as I know so have my opponents, and
I think I am capable of handling the
office of Commissioner successfully.
I will get as much for the county
for every dollar spent as I would if
I were spending my own money, and
I will see that each community shares
alike so far as this office is or can be
concerned.
I will seek to secure for those of
this district equal opportunity to fur
nish the county on the supplies it
buys. There is no reason why some
of the material the county uses could
not be bought in this district as cheap
ly as elsewhere.
I will oppose at all times the use
by county employees of courtesy
cards. I know what the job pays and
do not expect it to pay me anything
more, and I do not believe that the
free use of these cards is good busi
ness practice.
If elected I will insist that I be as
sured that this district will have its
roads worked at certain intervals, and
I will likewise insist that the work be
done when promised.
I appreciate the vote I got two
years ago and I am counting on my
friends to stick by me in this race. I
am getting more encouragement every
day and feel sure that I have a good
chance of election.
I am running strictly my own race,
I am not tied up with any person or
candidate, so that when I go into of
fice I will be free to work for the in
terest of ALL the people and will not
be tied to any individual.
Vote for JOE N. WILSON for
COMMISSIONER, DISTRICT NO. 2,
on August 27th, and rest assured that
he will treat you just like he would
every other person in the District—
with fairness and justice.
JOE N. WILSON
For COMMISSIONER

and courteous administration. The vote and support of every
person enrolled in Newberry County will be gratefully receiv
ed and sincerely appreciated.
