* '; Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 47 The Rising Sun—1866-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 $1 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Press of other matters caused me tc overlook acknowledgeing two much appreciated postals. One was from Senator Abrams, who, with a party of friends was taking in the sights of Havanna, Cuba, and the other from Mr. and Mrs. John Mayer who were visiting points of interest in and around New York. The card from the Mayers pictured the boat on which they were spending the night and on which the card was mailed; that of the Senator pictured one of the beautiful streets in Havana. It’s nice to be thus remembered. KESS GETS ’EM ALL Every person who voted at Jolly Street in the first primary voted for J. Kess Derrick, according to George I. Kinard. Mr. Derrick received 135 votes there. There were 137 votes cast but on two of them the voter had scratched two names in the house race and they of course were not counted, But even on those two Kess held his own—he got both of them. Another record might have been estaolished it Jolly Street, for out of the 139 regis tered 137 of them voted. One of the other two voters w is in Columbia on election day which '.'counts for all ex cept one out of the total registration. Mr. Kinard said he did r.ot believe any candidate ever before had received a 100 per cent vote at Jolly Street, al though he did remember one election in which Cole L. Blease got all of them but four. Roster Is Given For Civil Court SICK ARE MENDING Reports indicate that several of those ailing for the past week are mending all right.

Inspection Station Operating Here The state highway inspection sta tion that opened in the city last Sat urday to hold the second inspection period for 1940 will be here until October 12.

Bradley, in charge of the station, reported yes terday that approximately 1000 cars had been through the lanes. Trucks and private passenger cars will be inspected every week day from eight a. m. until five p. m. with the exception of Saturday when the station closes at one o’clock in the afternoon. Private passenger cars are checked for correct lighting, brakes, steering and horn. Mr. Bradley stated that most of the cars that received “stickers” in he last period inspection were found to be in good shape this time. Before coming to Newberry, this unit was stationed in Whitmire and with its closing here October 12 will move to another county. An inspection station will be lo cated at Newberry regularly every six months after this, according to Mr. Bradley. Working in the city with him are John L. Settle, James R. Boot, John M.

Eugene H. Spearman, Newberry county farmer, was Tuesday elected Supervisor of Newberry county in the rum-off primary by a majority of 370 votes over Paul H. Haile, pres ent County Commissioner from District No. 1. Mr. Spearman led in 31 of the 51 boxes. He takes of fice the first of January, along with the new commissioners. In the Commissioners race for District No. 1 political forecasts were spilled all over the landscape when Wilbur M. Epps defeated S. W. (Brother) Brown by 625 votes. Most of fch e street corner forecasters had Mr. Brown far in the lead but Mr. Epps took an early lead and main tained it to the end, gaining majori ties in 21 of the 31 precincts in the district. The race for Commissioner in Dist rict No. 2 was anybody’s race until the last box had reported. Charlie Lominick had a lead of 50-odd until the last box (Midway) reported, go ing for C. B. (Cy) Schumpert by a 6-44 vote. This cut Mr. Lominick’s lead to 14 votes where it stood un officially until the committee met yesterday to officially declare the re sults. This race was particularly in the air until the Silverstreet box, next to last to report, with its 122 votes came in. However it did not mater ially change the results up to that time as the vote was 56-66. A surprise of the rull-off primary was the large vote caft. The vote Tuesday was within 1700 of the first primary, being 7066 against 8711.

The delegation has asked WPA offices her e to furnish them with a district-by-district report on the number of workers now employed in order to check into charges that WPA employment is being centered in the lower part of the state. Harrington Be Seen Following a thorough check of these figures, the delegation plans to call upon WPA Administrator Col. F. C. Harrington to demand remedial may be found. The delegation conferred Saturday with Assistant WPA Commissioner Ernest L. Marbury, and several members called on him again today. The best assurances that they have been able to scure to date. Rep. Jos eph R. Bryson reported today, is that the quota of no district will be fur ther reduced. Expressing complete dissatisfac tion with this assurance, members of the delegation said that they were determined to ascertain how much the quotas in various parts of the state have been shifted and the reasons for these shifts. Most on Two Jobs The delegation feels th'hat virtually the entire state’s WPA quota has been consumed in supplying workers to the Sante-Cooper project and to national defense works in the Char leston and Camp Jackson areas. This situation, they feel, is work ing an undue hardship on other parts of the state. Tbey maintain that the quotas must either be shifted to pro vide for other sections of the state, or that the state’s entire quota be increased so that no section will suf fer. Rep. John L. McMillan of the Sixth district, who has been appointed sec retary of the delegation, reported to day that the entire group is work ing in unison to effect a Change In the situation. Repiesentative Hare added to the demand for an account of the man ner in which WPA workers were distributed around the state, a re quest for a declaration of policy in regard to sewing room and lunch room projects. The present tend ency to centralize these in one town of a county, instead of permitting the work to be done at home, is creating real hardship for many women work ers. They are forced to travel con siderable distances at their own ex pense in order to work at the cen tralized project. If this is to be a permanent rather than a temporary policy, Hare believes some adjustment should be made. The delegation has already al-, leged that the South Carolina quota has been cut from 49,000 workers in 1938 to 28,000 in 1940, but WPA of ficials have not admitted this nor commented upon it. Reports to be submitted, possibly tomorrow, to the South Carolina members are expected to show the comparative number of workers. There have been no charges pressed of lower appropriations, and the WPA has indicated that whatever reorganization of the situation may be found necessary in South Caro lina will probably be handled by state officials. TO BOUNDARY STREET Mr. and Mrs. Paul Enrrud and family will soon occupy the Duncan Johnson house on Boundary street. Are Coming For Game Meeting Meeting Monday night members of the local chapter of the Game and Fish association completed plans for the tenth annual convention of the state Game and Fish assc-.iat’on to which they will play hosts on Thurs day, September 26.

Senator Smith last night was leading George Warren of Hamp ton by approximately 20,000 votes. Tabulation of returns received in Co lumbia last night gave: Smith 56,643, Warren 37,132. Senator Smith’s lead was 19,511. The total vote counted was 93,775. Several thousand votes in remote boxes are yet to be includ ed and may bring the final figure near 100,000. * Newberry college will open for its 1920-21 session Thursday, September 23, at 9 a. m. Short welcome address es will be made at that time by Dr. Cromer, president of the board of trustees, by a member of the faculty and by the city pastors. The college will have all the students it can take care of. A large number of students will have to be provided with lodging in private homes. The cotton crop in this county has been very materially damaged by the recent wet weather and in most fields it looks like it has some disease. There has been very little boll weevil so far and very little damage done by the weevil this year, but it would be well for farmers to take note that he is here and will probably be in evidence for the next crop. There is no reason that we can see why two live and progressive communities like Prosperity and New berry, and two that are so closely and pleasantly united, should permit such a public road as we now have between the towns, to remain in its present condition. Many persons in both the communities travel the road every day, and besides it is the connecting link between the two, and more than that if is a part of the chain of coun ty roads, and it would not cost a very large amount to put this road in at least passable and civilized condition, and yet no one seems interested.
