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.

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. Because of more space,
the unit is located now on Johnstone
street, just off Calhoun, instead of
Speers street. J. K. 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. Sturgeon, Furman
L. Quattlebaum, Gerold D. Glaze, and
LeRoy O’Dell.

OFF TO COLLEGE
Among many Newberry young
people leaving soon for colleges are
Louis Patrick to Erskine, Gallic Parr,
Jr., and Olin Cannon to Clemson,
Henry Baker to Washington and Lee
University.
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.

Congressmen Demand Spread In WPA
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Unsat
isfied with explanations provided by
WPA officials, the South Carolina
House delegation today pressed for
ward with its campaign to secure a
larger number of WPA workers for
the upper part of the state.
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

of the local chapter of the Game and

20 YEARS AGO
With scattering votes not yet
counted in a large number of counties
in the state. 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.

CITY MILEAGE FOR CYCLIST IS
43,800 FOR 40 YEARS
Ogden, U.—Joseph W. Willett of
Ogden has just finished bicycling 43,-
000 miles—all within the city limits.
For 40 years Wilett has pedaled
his way around the city an average of
about three miles a day.
“I don’t cover much territory, but
I get all over town and that’s all I
want to do,” Willett said. He wore
out two bicycles in the first 23 years,
but the last 17 years of wheeling have
been covered on the same machine.
