THAT PROMISED SERMON
Having failed to make good on our
promise to have preached a sermon
on the hot place, we are going to give
you the next best thing—Jonathan
Edwards’ great sermon "Sinners In
The Hands of an Angry God.” This
great sermon was preached almost a
hundred years ago. Here is some
comment on the sermon at the time
it was preached:
“It was night, and while he (Ed
wards) was reading it to a large
congregation, the lights became dim
and he read with difficulty, and the
influence was so g’-eat on the congre
gation that strong men and women
cried and screamed for mercy and
even grabbed the seats for fear they
would slide into hell that very mo
ment. A fellow minister who was
seated in the pulpit cried out, “Mr.
Edwards! Mr. Edwards! Is not God
merciful, too?”
And another: “I think a person of
moral sensibility alone at midnight,
reading that awful discourse would
well nigh go crazy. He would hear
the judgment trump and see the
advancing heaven, and the day of
doom would begin to mantle him with
its shroud.”
So, get set to read, in two long in
stallments, beginning next week, the
greatest sermon on hell that has ever
fallen from the lips of man—"Sin
ners In the Hands of an Angry God.”

JOINT REFORMATION SERVICE
On October 31, 1517, Dr. Martin
Luther nailed his famous “Ninety-five
Theses” on the church door at Witten
berg, Germany, and thus began the
Protestant Reformation. For hund
reds of years Lutherans throughout
the whole world have celebrated this
event with special services.
For the past several years the Luth
erans of Newberry County have come
together at a central point for these
special services. In keeping with this
custom the Newberry County Confer
ence of the Lutheran Synod of South
Carolina will hold this point Refor
mation Service in the Lutheran church
of the Redeemer, in Newberry, on Re
formation Sunday, October 27th, at
7:30 P. M.
Another interesting feature of the
program is the special music, to be
rendered by a combined choir, rep
resenting ail of the Lutheran churches
of the county, under the direction of
professor Paul Ensrud, of Newberry
College.
Miss Helen Coleman and friends of
Furman university were weekend
visitors in the home of Mrs. Josie
McAlhaney. They were enroute to
Charleston to attend the Trice-Barn-
hill wedding.

FRIDAY
Dr. Z. T. Pinner, for many years a
practicing physician in Pomaria, died
last Friday in a Columbia hospital
where he had been taken a few days
before. Dr. Pinner was 61 years of
age and was highly respected by the
people among whom he practiced as
well as in medical circles where he
was known. He enjoyed a very wide
practice and will be sorely missed in
the section over which his practice
extended.
Dr. Pinner was a native North Caro
linian, but took up his practice in the
Newberry county town some 25 years
ago. His wife, who survives, was
Maude Johnson, also a native of
North Carolina. A son, Dr. Beaman
L. Pinner, three brothers and several
sisters also survive. Dr. Carrol Pin
ner of Peak is one of the surviving
brothers.

Mrs. J. H. Summer, Misses Lila and
Jane Summer, Mrs. Hal Kohn, Misses

beautiful. The riot of color along the
mountain drives present a dazzling
picture, the party reports.
Little Miss Verna Kohn enjoyed
very much meeting and talking to
“Moses Walking Stick”, Chief of one
of the Indian Tribes at the Reserva
tion. Tourists wishing to take a
beautiful drive to the Great Smokies
should go by way of Pickens, Ross-
man and Sylva into Cherokee, then
across the Great Smoky National
Park to Gatlinburg, Tenn., and i--
turn by way of Waynesville, Ashville
and Chimney Rock.
ATTENDED INTENATIONAL
SIGNALMEN’S ASSOCIATION
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Burton Wells
attended the International Signal
men’s Association which was held in
Jacksonville, Florida, October 14-17.
The topic devoted most time and re
ceiving greatest interest was the part
of the Fire Deparments play during
war, and work of maintaining alarm
systems. Mr. Wells said almost
every state was represented from
Main to California, also from Den
mark were attaches of the Danish
Navy.
A possibility that Newberry’s vet
eran deputy sheriff, Hub Quattlebaum
may quit the service of Newberry
county is contained in the grand jury
report of the present term cf court.
Asked about the grand jury report,
Mr. Quattlebaum refused to state de
finitely whether he was going to quit.
He said he had other offers but pref
erred to stay in Newberry. It has
been reported that the FBI wanted
Mr. Quattlebaum but he said if he
went to other work it would not be
with FBI.
This newspaper gathered from Mr.
Quattlebaum’s remarks that he was
not satisfied with the compensation
he was getting, nor with the equip
ment he had to carry on crime inves
tigation through finger print work.
Mr. Quattlebaum also pointed out
that Laurens county employed seven
deputies while Newberry had only two.
It is known that Mr. Quattlebaum
has been giving his services day and
night to the county for a number of
years and that the salary he receives
is small compared to work he, does.
Mr. Quattlebaum at the present draws
$150 a month and he said that a good
amount of that was necessaiy in car
rying on his work,
Mr. Quattlebaum is one of the most
capable deputies the county has ever
had and it wdll be much regretted if he
decides to go elsewhere.
Following is the grand jury report
in full:
Presentment of Grand Jury
We have acted upon all bills of in
dictments handed to us by the Solici
tor and have recorded our findings
thereon.
The various committees that were
appointed to visit and inspect the
county offices and institutions reports
as follows.
Chain-Gang and County Home: Af
ter investigating, this committee has
three recommendations to make.
First: Level off tht“ground between
the Poor House and workshop, move
the rubbish and broken machinery
farther from the road.
Second: Inclose the workshop and
the buildings that house the trucks,
with a fence.
Third: The most important of all
is a sanitary building or Stockade for
the prisoners. The arrangement at
present is very bad and unsanitary and
needs attention at once.
The Auditing committee went into
the various offices, and find every
thing in good condition. The records
were audited by Mr. Welling Account
ant last July and his statement can be
found in the Treasurer’s office.
The Road and Bridge Committee
wish to report that we have inspected
the roads in the county and find them
to be in fair condition.
The bridges of the County are in fair
condition in some sections of the
County. In other sections they need
attention. We especially recommend
that work be done immediately on the
bridges of No. 4 Township, which are
in bad condition.
Committee on Public Buildings:We
have inspected the Court House and
Jail. We find the Court-House good,
having just been remodeled one year
ago. We find the Jail House plaster
ing is in bad condition in several
places. The sheriff’s quarters need a
coat of paint and we recommend that
this work be done at once. Also
some of the c^lls on the top floor
have a coat of paint in order to keep
the iron from rusting.
The water system too needs looking
into, we think a large intake pipe is
needed, to keep down an overflow of
water in the tubs and lavoratories.
Therefore, we recommend this work
be done.
The Grand Jury is glad to report
that the Sheriff and his Deputies have
been very faithful in the performance
of their duties and have helped us
very much to expedite the work of the
Court by having the witnesses prompt
in attendance and having all matters
connected with the Sheriff’s office
ready.
In this connection, we beg to report
that is has come .to our attention that
Deputy Sheriff H.’J. Quattlebaum is
contemplating resigning his position
soon to accept other ^vork, and that
the main reason for his quitting the
work of Deputy Sheriff is inadequate
compensation. We hope that the Leg
islative delegation will take steps, if
they find it possible to do so, to pay
Mr. Quattlebaum a sufficient compen
sation that will justify him in continu-.
ing his work as Deputy Sheriff. Mr.
Quattlebaum has been in the office
many years and has much experience.
He has given much of his time to the
performance of the usual duties of a
Deputy Sheriff, and, in addition there
to, he has learned finger-printing and
photography, all of which help to
equip him for his work. We think it
would be a loss to Newberry County
not to have him to continue these val
uable services.
We wish to commend all of the
County officers and officials for the
splendid work and courtesies shown.
Also, we wish to thank the Court
and Court officials for courtesies
shown us.
We recommend that the Clerk be
paid the usual fee.

diers being concentrated in South

citizens in the county”.

tioned near us, members of the local

touching address, regretting the
peparture of Mr. Fulenwider and

We like to see the good work going

There are several old, worn out.
