Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 4; NO. 3 The Rising Sun-1856-1860 NEWBERRY, s: C. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1940 published weekly WINNERS ANNOUNCED IN HORSE SHOW OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE HOW DO HE DO IT While most everyone else is giving Lake Murray up in complete disgust, Tom P. Johnson comes back from there with a 7-pound bass and a long string of crappies. I doubt if Tom pays his preacher, so it couldn’t be that. He must simply know more about how to do it than the rest of us. Billy, our star subscription col lector vouches for this storv. In fact it was while he was after Tom’s dol lar that he ran unon the fish story and Tom took him back to the refrig erator and showed him the big bass all dressed and ready for the oven. How is it done Tom ^o vou carry a rabbit foot or something? THOSE CARNIVAL SHOWS The attitude of this writer toward the corrupt shows brought here each vear to the Newberry county fair is well known. So far as tangible evidence is concerned, his has been as a voi^e crying in the wilderness. - I can understand the indifference of a great slice of the public to ward immorality but I cannot un derstand the stard or the passive sanction of the ministers of the coun ty to this hellish business when a word from them would wipe it out. The ministers of this county know that each year these lewd shows are brought to this city, but they have never, as an organized body, raised their voices against it. Not only do they know the shows come here but they know that in those shows naked women perform before the eves of the impressionable boys and girls of their congregations. The ministers frail away at a myth ical figure they call the devil, while hell itself does a land-office business at the very door of their churches. To permit this they had as well reach into hell itself and get a handful of the slime of rape and murder, and incest and smear it on the faces of these fine boys and girls. The ministers of this county stand indicted, not only before the bar of public opinion, but before the bar of the God they profess to extol. For ten straight years, to my own knowledge the strumpets and the al ley bats have come into this Christ ian community and left their trail of slime without one public word of pro test from the organized ministry. What minister can say that the il legitimate child of some girl in his congregation is not traceable directly to the immoral influence of the dirty carnival shows? How can be appease his conscience when he looks into the sallow face of some erstwhile ruddy- cheeked boy, started on the road to self-abuse as the result of watching a performance of a degenerate strumpet. How can the minister extol the purity of mother and motherhood when the life-picture the young girl gets is that of a strumpet—gets such a picture without so much as a single nay at the hands of the organized ministry—those men of the cloth whom we have come to look to as the guardians of all that is pure apd holy? What is the good of going back to antiquity for lessons of morality, or the penalty of immorality? You may preach the moral implications of Sodom and Gomorrah until your teeth drop out but your preaching will be in vain as long as you allow Sodom and Gomorrah to operate in the flesh at your own doorsteps. I have no quarrel with the Christ ian ministry, nor have I lost faith in it, but I do know that the ministers have got to go out and beyond the teachings of an ancient theology and into the living World and fight the forces of corruption. I believe that every minister in Newberry county hates and. detests the lewd carnival shows, but I am forced to the conclusion that they are not willing to take the conse quences of a moral crusade. They are human and they want friends; they fear to tread the lonely path of the crusader. But the ministers must realize that in all history those who have sought to uplift humanity have been lonely men. That is the lot of those who choose such work. And while the way is hard the reward is great. That is, it is great to those of the right calibre. Their reward is the satisfaction of knowing that they have contributed something toward morality and decency in their time.

Shotgun Romance Judge Blease told us this one, and says it really happened, and even gave us the name of the ‘heroine’’, which we won’t use. Let’s just call her Mary Doe. She lived in a town not far distant from Newberry, and the incident happened many years ago, before the business woman was very popular or approved. At that time, her father was publisuing a weekly newspaper, and she would go around town gathering items of interest to be published. One day, while she was in a store downtown, someone introduced her to a stranger, who was to be in town for a few days. After talking together for a while, the man, whom we shall call Mr. Low, asked her if he might come around to see her that night, and she gave her permission. It was during the summertime, and houses in those days didn’t have screens. The windows were all open when Mr. Low arrived that night, for it was paticularly hot weather. When Mr. Low came, Mary invited him into the parlor, and there they sat talk- ing. After a while, Mr. Low said 1 , “Miss Mary, I’d like to kiss you,” and Mary answered, “Well, let me ask my father.” “No, no,” Low insisted, “don’t do that!” Mary explained, however, that her father was liberal about such matters, and if he didn’t want Mary to be kissed, would say so, and that would be all. So Mary walked across the room to her father’s study. Her father was a great hunter, and had a great many different kinds of guns. Mary went in and said “Father, I’ve just discovered that the young man who came to see me this even ing is extremely interested in guns. I was telling him about your new one, and he is anxious to see it.” “Of course” said her father, who was proud of his guns and always ready to show’ them off, so picking up his new one, he carried it lovingly in to the parlor for the visitor to in spect. You can imagine what fol lowed. Mr. Low took one look at the gun, jumped off the sofa and out the window, and didn’t stop running until he was on a. train that happened to be passing through at that time. As the train was pulling out, he yelled to the porter to tell the hotel manager he would wire his money and where to send his baggage, and until this day, he hasn’t been seen again in that town.

L TURNER JEWELER $1.00 PER YEAR DOWN MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO The crest of the Republican elec tion wave, both presidential and con gressional, continued idsing tonight as belated returns filtered in. Among new Democratic casualties was the de feat of Rep. Champ Clark erf Miss ouri, former speaker and present leader in the house. But the coun try is safe, and Senator Harding is an honest and good man, if he is not a man of any remarkable ability, and no doubt when the great responsibili ty of the high office to which he has been chosen comes upon him and he realizes it he will not be so easily led by those who may imagine that he will do their bidding. Another good thing being done by the city authorities is the widening of the street and the making of a sidewalk along west Main street, work on which has begun. The streets will be widened eight feet from the LeRoy Salter studio to the comer op posite the store of Gus Metchicas and the sidewalk will be eight feet wide extending the same length of the street so as to be on a line with the upper portion.
