Possibly a few know he was a young Confeder ate hero from Tennessee, but do you know that the same Sam Davis is the great uncle oi two Newberrians, and the uncle of a former Newber- rian ? On October C, 18-12, somewhere near Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was born Sam Davis, destined to become one of the South’s heroes. After attending Western Military Institute in Nashville, he joined the Confederates early in the Civil War, and in 1862 was s .signed to Shaw’s Scouts, Cheatham’s Division. Just as the South considered the Northern scouts spies, so did the North feel toward the Confererate scouts. When Davis was only twenty-one years of age, an indeed dangerous task and a great risk he took, when in November of 1862, he was sent in disguise to penetrate Federal lines and secure information concerning the positions, and fortifications of the Federal troops, which only Gen. G. M. Dodge had. In securing this des ired information, he was successful, for he had become quite friendly with a young offic r closely connect ed with Gen. Dod^ ’s headquarters. Suspecting that he was being watched, and probably would be fol lowed if he left the Federal lines, he nevertheless escaped and slipped to his home near Smyrna, Tennessee, to see his father -and mother. While there, the pursuing soldiers came to the house, and he managed tc escape, but was finally caught. In his saddle and boots were found the papers, which "were stolen from Gen. Dodge’s office. After trying vainly in every way he knew how to make Davis talk, Gen. Dodge finally told him he would be court-martialed and hanged if he didn’t tell who gave him the papers. To this, Davis replied: “You are do ing your duty, Gen. Dodge, and I am doing mine and I will die before I tell.” Consequently, he was court-mar tialed and sentenced to be hanged, and while he was on the gallows, with the rope around his neck, Gen. Dodge sent one of his personal staff with Davis’ horse, side arms, and a pass back to Bragg’s army if he would only tell. The answer he gave is that of a truly great soldier and a brave hero, and one that will be remember ed for many years to come: “If I had a thousand lives to live I would lose them all before I would betray my friends or the confidence of my in former.” To the men who were ad justing the noose, he said “I am ready Do your duty men.” Thus Sam Davis, was hanged November 27, 1863, at the age of 21, at Pulaski, Tennessee. There now stands at Pulaski a large monument erected to his memory. Forty years after his execution, Gen. Dodge was one of those who contri buted most liberally for the erection of his statue which is now oh the Tennessee State Capitol grounds. Named in honor of Sam Davis is the Sam Davis Highway in Tennessee, and the Sam Davis Hotel in Nash ville. About twenty-five miles from Nashville, is his former home, which was bought and • is kept up by the state of Tennessee. Davis was the great uncle of Col lier Neel of Newberry, Waller Neel also formerly of Newherry, now of Nashville, Mrs. Carrie Neel formerly of Newberry, was a niece of Davis. EXERCISES FOR W. P. A.

Kess Derrick early moved out in front in Tuesday’s balloting to pile up a vote such as no candidate ever received in a legislative race in New berry county. It is doubtful if a vote of such proportions has ever been accorded a candidate in any race in this county. Mr. Derrick received 7,388 out of the 8,721 votes cast in the four cornered race. Julian A. Price, Prosperity man took second place for the House, re ceiving 6,423, and R. Aubrey Harley, Newberry attorney was in third place with 6,071. Z. H. Suber of Whitmire was fourth man in the race and re ceived 5,785. Solicitor Hugh Beasley gained a big lead over W. T. Bolt in the race for Soli citor, Beasley receiving 7572 votes and Bolt 1161. House of Representatives Final, though unofficial (figures in the House race are as follows: Der rick, 7,388; Harley. 6,071; Price, 6,- 423; Suber' 5, 785. Sheriff. The incumbent Sheriff, Tom M.

Treasurer The closest race in the county dev eloped in the race for County Treas urer. The totals swayed from one to another of the candidates as the boxes came in, It was only when the last box was in that the results could be determined. Treasurer Black received 4,415, Ringer, 4,348. Supt. of Education Superintendent of Education C. E. Hendrix was returned to office by a Losing a valuable and most depend able worker is the Newberry county hospital. After almost nine years there, Marie Moore packs up, bag and baggage, and moves to Conway to do office work in the hospital there. Ai the local hospital she not only hand led the business end, but also had charge of the kitchen. We are glad of Marie’s promotion and hope she likes her work there immensley but we’re going to miss her here some thing awwful — especially we news paper people. Marie was the only one connected with the hospital for" that even seemed to realize that news reporters had to get news to keep their jobs and she always ‘did what she could to give us items from the hospital even tho’ her hands were tied most of the time. If there’s any thing a reader wants in the local pa per it is to know when a friend might be sick and in the hospital. Such news might even be very helpful at times and we could never figure cut why some of the local hospital auth orities wanted to withhold this in formation. Marie never stepped over orders and when she was told to be quiet by superiors, she was. But all the while she was in sympathy with us news hounds. Here’s hoping her hands won’t be tied in her new work because her many talents should lead to one promotion after another. The medical and nursing staff of the hospital is giving her a farewell party Friday night. We wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t a few tears even on such a gala occasion. Mrs. Fred Hartley, the former Miss Mag gie Thomasson, has been named Miss Moore’s successor. It’s No Use We continue to hear of weddings and rumors of weddings and continue to wonder if the conscription bill now up does not have something to do with it all. If the young man who takes on a wife thinks he will be saved from being conscripted, he’s sadly mistaken and is making double trouble for himself. At least that’s the way it appears to us from the contents of the following article from Washington: “If any young man plans mat rimony to dodge conscription un der the Burke-Wadsworth bill, he’ll find that it won’t work. This is revealed by examination of the pending law, which fails to pro vide exemption from military training for married men. They will be required to register for srvice just as any other male cit izen from 21 through 30 years of age, if it becomes law. “War department officials have said that selection of trainees would be left largely to local boards, with appeals from their rulings being provided. Thus, each case would be decided on in margin of about 1,000 votes. The vote in this race was Hendrix, 4,811, Leitz- sey, 3,849. Supervisor Paul H. Haile with a lead of about 200 votes is in the second race with Eugene Spearman for Supervisor. The vote for the different candidates in this race was Abrams, 1,828; Haile, 2,241; L. M. (Mag) Shealy, 1,308; S. W. (Pinder) Shealy, 1,337; Spearman, 2,034. Commissioner Dist 1. S. W. (Brother) Brown took the lead in the race for Commissioner from the first district, the vote being Brown 1,660; Epps 1,160; Fair 628; Harmon 574; Henderson 301; Mills 517; Wallace 809. Epps and Brown are in the second race. Commissioner Dist. 2. A second race will be necessary in District 2 in the commissioners race. C. B. (Cy) Schumpert took the lead with 937 votes and Charliie C. Lomi nick was second with 698 votes. Joe Wilson was in third place with 577, Haskell Dominick was in fourth place 420 and Murray O. Fulmer was in 5th place with 91 votes. Game Warden Herman Wise was elected by a large majority to the office of game warden, having received 6,447. His opponent Effice Metts received 2,218. Magistrate Dist. 1. Watts was reelected Magistrate at Whitmire by a vote of 850 to 544 for his opponent Holt. Magistrate- Dist. 2. Ben F. Dawkins was returned to this office by a vote of 3070 to 1468 for his opponent Lonnie Graham. Newberry voted dry, casting 4104 dry votes and 3039 wet votes. dividual merit. If the local board found that a young man subject to the draft had married a young woman who was capable of sup porting herself and had a job, or had relatives who could support her, the marriage might be no bar at. all to military service. “Once registrations have been completed, the bill says selection of trainees ‘shall be made In an impartial manner, under such rules and regulations as the presi dent may prescribe.’ “The president, however, is authorized in another section to defer the traaining of those men in a status with respect to persons dependant upon them for suport which renders their deferment advisable.’ The measure gives no definition of “dependants’.” Tale Is Told The tale has been told in another election. Wednsday found some very happy contestants and yet more sad ones. There’s also the happy and sad division among the voters. Politics is a stange thing—one either ha^ an intense like for it or one does not care for it all. But those of us on the liking side were all ears Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. We wouldn’t have missed a single thing from the beginning to the end. There’s nothing like it to the interested ones. It was hard to take in Wednesday afternoon when a friend queried rath er nonchalantly, “I haven’t heard how the race came out last night, who won?” Yes, politics is a great thing —if you can take it.
