THE DRY VICTORY NOTICE The members of the Newberry El ectric Cooperative, Inc., are asked to be cautious in wiring their homes un til the line to serve them is staked. This precaution saves money in wir ing as the members will know defi nitely at what place the entry will be made. Miss Elizabeth Holt has returned to Gastonia, N.

Twenty-four counties of South Car olina voted dry in the statewide ref erendum on August 27th, while twenty-two counties voted wet. In the referendum six years ago (1934) nineteen counties voted dry and twen ty-seven counties voted wet. This time six counties changed from wet to dry. Dillion, Florence, Horry, Kershaw, Marion and Marlboro. One county changed from dry to wet: Colleton. The dry majority over the wets this year is approximately 51,000. That dry total vote of over 162,000 is impressive. In 1934 the wet majority was 24,531. This reveals a big shift in public sentiment. In the next legislature the 24 dry counties will have 24 senators and 70 representatives. The wet 22 coun ties will have 22 senators and 59 re presentatives. This should give the drys a good working majority, but the dry leadership in both Houses has been seriously weakened by the loss of several of their more experienced men. Five times in the past fifty years there have been statewide votes on the liquor question: 1. In 1890 the drys won, but the Legislature established the State Dis pensary system. 2. After years of local option, the state went to statewide prohibition in 1916. 3. In 1933 a vote was taken on the repeal of the 18th Amendment, and the drys won gaain. 4. A referendum in the primary election (1940) was won by the wets as stated above. 5. This year (1940) the drys win another victory, making four out of five elections. Albert D. Betts Orangeburg, S. C.

HARE Recent rumors and new-model guesses associating the 1941 Dodge with “a revolutionary new driving feature,” now crystallize into the defi nite information that the newest mod els of this popular automobile will feature the ‘Fluid Drive.’ The ‘Fluid Drive,’ as employed by Dodge and described by Forest H. Akers, vice-president and director of sales—“has been in development for the past eight yea^s; it is without question the most vital improvement in motor car operation since the in troduction of hydraulic four wheel brakes. “Exceedingly simple as the new Fluid Drive is mechanically, it accom plishes a surprising number of im provements in driving results,” says sales chief Akers. “The flexibility of this new fluid-power coupling is such that it reduces geag changing to points when the driver, when he wish es, may do entirely without shifting. While the cars, in the Dodge installa tion, remain equipped with a trans mission giving three forward speeds, the Fluid Drive provides, in addition, an almost infinite variety of In-be tween speeds which go into action au tomatically and therefore call for no judgement or attention on the part of the driver. “The Fluid Drive enables even the inexpert driver to perform, with per fect safety, such feats as ascending a hill in ‘high’ at speeds as slow as one or two miles an hour, stopping on the hill, then starting again—.with out gear shifting, without in the least straining the engine, and without dan ger of stalling it. “The fact that these improvements in automobile operation are brought about through a liquid coupling of such extreme simplicity that it con sists of but two moving parts sur rounded by two gallons of closely con fined oil—marks an automobile achievement of the first magnitude. “An important detail in connection with the Dodge Fluid Drive—which has been established in many hund reds of thousands of miles of test driving under every conceivable con dition—is that it calls for no service attention, adjustment or periodical oil changes. The oil, acting as the most flexible power transmission med ium ever employed, retains its work ing qualities indefinitely in varying temperatures. “My prediction is that this new Fluid Drive will lead our motoring millions to an entirely new apprecia tion of the continuous efforts of auto mobile engineering to increase the safety and comforts of those who drive and ride.” TEACHING AT EASLEY Mrs. Marguerita Matthews Crymes and her daughter Miss Monita Crymes, left Friday for Easley where Mrs. Crymes teaches in the city schools. They both spent the sum mer months with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. C. Matthews. FOUR NEW TEACHERS AT NEWBERRY HIGH Of the 58 teachers to be in the Newberry city school system this session, only four are newcomers to the city and they fill vacancies in the Newberry high school. Miss Katherine Boozer of the coun ty, a Winthrop graduate, will be the new home economics teacher. Miss Margaret Paysinger, graduate of the Newberry high school and the New berry college will teach Latin and English. For the past two years she has been teaching in the high school at Batesburg. Maxcy Stone of the city will teach history at the high school and P. Y. Cuthbertson of Copperhill, Tennessee, will be instructor in the classes of social science and business science. He will also direct the Newberry High school band. SEPTEMBER CALLS FOR CARE WITH LIVESTOCK September is an important time in livestock management, says County Agent P. B. Ezell, who lists these re minders for busy farmers •- This is usually a good month to sell fat hogs. Arrange to seed some grain (barley, rye, or oats) for hog graz ing. Give the brood sow especial at tention at farrowing time. The larger the litters the greater the profits. Place sows and litters on land unin fested with parasites. Start hogging down com as soon as it is in the glaz ed stage. Cull out the unproductive sows. If plans are being made to feed steers get feed on hand before buying the cattle. Sow small grain for winter grazing, at least one-fourth acre per cow. Use four bushels per acre of a mixture of oats, barley, and rye with 15 pounds of crimson clover. Feed some grain daily. Dry fall pastures lack nut rients. Dry up cows due to freshen in October to allow six weeks’ rest. Cull boarder cows that won’t make money for you this winter. Plan to plant one-half to one acre acre of oats and vetch for each cow, to be cut for hay next May. Plant barley on good up land soils to substitute for com in the grain ration. Give the laying house a thorough cleaning before moving in the pullets. A strong lye water, one can of ly e to 15 gallons of water, is one of the cheapest and best cleaning agents. Place earliest maturing pullets in per manent laying houses. Pe sure the pullets are free from worms, lice and mites before moving them from the hfinge.
