Every V/eek More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 3; NO. 51 The Rising Sun—1856-18M NEWBERRY, S. C FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1940 Slider and Greneker—1856-1860 OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE FALL POETRY This piece of poetry ought to put us in the right frame of mind to enjoy “October’s hi ight blue weather/’ O’er mottled fields of autumn land, The purple mist wreaths shiver, And down through ruddy sumac boughs The golden sunbeams quiver. Upon the hilltop’s sharpened crest. I watch the listless creeping, Of elfin fingers that enshroud, Fair nature for her sleeping. I see them turn with dainty press, The maples golden yellow; And subtly leave their blood-red kiss, On backgrounds faint and mellow. Above the landscape cloud banks hang In soft snow-masses drifting, With now and then the ether’s blue, Their opaque whiteness rifting. The idle winds go idly by, Among the branches sighing, Till wooed and won— on fickle breasts. The fluttering leaves are dying. And in the woods’ deep silence, The nuts are th'ckly falling, While faint and lev » bird’s soft note Its wandered mate is calling. Oh autumn days! Oh beauteous earth! Oh Nature’s nain-kiss o d sweetness! Thy beauty waits the frost king’s now era. Ere knows its full completeness. TABLES TURNED A local gentleman, who loves-to olav iokes on someone else, for once had the joke turned on him. He and his wife were having company for supper, and after the meal, the host topk the fnj it feowl from the buffet and ’ asked one of the guests to try some of the grapes. He knew that his wife always kept artificial fruit in the bowl, and was enioying himself immensely when the lady decided she would like to have some grapes, but very surmised when she put one in her mouth, ate it. and seemed to en joy it very much. His wife could scarcely keep from laughing . . . her husband had failed to notice that be fore the company came she had taken out the artificial fruit and replaced it with the real thing.

KINARD PASSES AT COUNTY HOSPITAL Pagan Influences Work on Christianity DES MOINES, la., Oct. 6.—Pagan and non-Christian religions in the for eign mission fields “have become ag gressive recently in their opposition to Christianity,” Di Abdel Ross Wentz declared here tonight. In an address for delivery before the first vesper and commissioning service of the United Lutheran church Women’s Missionary socie ty, Dr. Wentz, president of Gettys burg Theological seminary, Gettys burg, Pa., said: “For more than a hundred years of the Christian missionary enter prise, the great ethic religions ig nored Christianity. . . . But now they know better and their attitude has changed. They are copying our methods of progress. They are now biulding their own schools, their own colleges to train leaders. They are erecting their own hospitals right alongside of ours.” Dr. Wentz repeated the warning, a keynote of the international con vention of Lutheran women here, that the church must support foreign missions orphaned by the collapse of normal economy in central European nations involved in the World war. Eight hundred women from near ly every section of the United States and Canada are attending the convention, first of a series of three to be held here and in Oma ha, Neb., by the United Lutheran church of America. “We Lutherans, more than any other confessional group in all Christendom,” Dr. Wentz said, have a serious responsibility grow ing out of this war. Our own Luth eran brethren all over the world are in dire need. The ties between them and their mother churches in Europe have been cut. “Only we of America are left with any contact with these younger churches. Their fate is in our hands.” , Dr. Wentz spoke at services com missioning two new missionaries, Miss Lelia Van Deusen of Poesten- kill, N. Y., and Miss Grace Onstead of Friedens, Pa. . The Lutheran women began their preliminary “congress” yesterday with “inspirational sessions” and will start business sessions of their so ciety tomorrow. The Lutheran Brotherhood is meet ing simultaneously in Omaha, both sessions to be followed bv the l^ta biennial convention of the United Lutheran Church in America conven ing Wednesday in Omaha for a week- long program.

Hare Praises Men Of Eutaw Washington, Oct 7.—Following re marks in the house today in commem oration of the battles of Saratoga Springs and Kings Mountain, repre sentative Butler B. Hare, Democrat. South Carolina, spoke today of an other Revolutionary war battle which took place in his state. Representative Hare said that “no greater patriotism and no greater de termination has been demonstrated than in the Battle of Eutaw Springs. Men fought with their stocks and barrels after munitions were exhaust ed, and with knives, sticks, and stones. To know this and to know that Gen eral Greene said he saw men come out of that battle “as naked as the day they were bom” proves to me that they were men who knew what liberty means.” George William Kinard, 72, died at the Newberry county hospital Tues day afternoon. Though in feeble health for some time The was criti cally ill only a short period. He was bom and reared near Jolly Street but spent the latter part of his life in Newberry. Funeral services were held at four o’clock Wednesday afternoon at Bachman Chapel Lutheran church with the Rev. J. E. Roof, the Rev. M. M. Brooks, the Rev. V. L. Fulmer, ond the Rev. B. F. Rogers in charge. Burial was in the church cemetery. Besides has widow, Frankie Rik- ard Kinard, he is survived by two sons, 'Dewey and Cecil Kinard and four daughters, Miss Annie Kinard, Mrs. Glenn Jones, Mrs. William Min or and Mrs. Wilbur Chapman, 'all of Newberry; one brother, R. D. Kinard, Leesville; three sis.ters, Mrs. R. J. Crumpton, Miss Ila Cramer and Mrs. J. R. Franklin of Newberry.

GINNING REPORT Census report shows that 8,223 berry county from the crop of 1940 prior to October 1 as compared with bales of cotton were ginned in New- 14,616 bales for the crop of 1939. ST. PHILIPS ITEMS Sunday school will be at 2:30 Sun day afternoon and preaching ser vice will follow at 3.30 at the St. Philips Lutheran church, the Rev. J. Emmett Roof, pastor. The white aster is the last flower to bloom and it is now in its full bloom. Frost is likely to come at any time. I guess the farmers would like to see a good rain so they could begin sowing grain. The farmers had fine days last week to gather their cotton and most of them in this sec tion made good use of those days. Some have been gathering hay crops and they have a good yield.

Battery H Personnel Sees Many Changes Although the local anti-aircraft bat tery of the 263rd Coast Artillery has been organized only a year, consider able changes have been made due to the defense program. Over 30 men who were first with the unit at its organization last fell have been hon orably discharged because of depend ents or for enlistment in the naval and army air corps. The men having dependents who were in the battery will not be required for a year’s train ing under the defense program. The battery is up to its full quota of 76 men to date, however, and more ap plications for admittance are being filed with the officers. An announcement was recently made of the promotion of Earl Hipp of Whitmire from the post of second lieutenant in the battery to first lieu tenant. Purvis Bane, first lieutenant in the reserve corps, has been recom mended to fill the vacancy made by Hipp’s promotion. If such a recom- meudatkm goes through, Mr. Bane will be the third of first lieutenants assigned to the local battery — the others including Mr. Hipp and John C. Billingsley, first lieutenant and second in command of Battery H. Promotions of other officers in the group will be made soon. Under the present set-up the bat tery car have only 76 men, the maintenance number, but whe“n orders are received for the unit to be taken over as a part of the regular United States army, possibly late in Decem ber, the enrollment figure can go as high as 120. It is expected that the Newberry unit will easily build up to that peacetime number before the unit is called bo active service, prob ably on January 10 of next yea. Of ficials state the Newberry boys will likely be located at the new anti-air craft firing grounds near Savannah, Georgia. Volunteers have rapidly been re placing the dismissed men in Battery H.

William Jennings Bryan pass ed through Columbia the other day on his way north from his Florida home. He declined to discuss poli tics further than to say that he was satisfied that his state, Florida, would cast its vote by a safe majority for Cox. No doubt the heart of the great commoner is still buried and he cannot get his consent to have it resurrected. Threats to burn cotton gins made generally over the South in the last few days, were denounced by Former Governor Manning and other speak ers at a meeting of bankers, cotton men and others at Atlanta, called in the interest of the $10,000,000 cot ton corporation proposed by the American Cotton Association.
