Whitmire 15 Into The Sunset By JACKSON GREGORY Fifth Installment SYNOPSIS Barry Haveril leaves his Texas home to see the country, meets a man who has just been shot who turns out to be a cousin of his, Jesse Conroy. Barry helps takes care of his wounds and Jesse gives Barry his gun, a very unusual one. When they part Barry leaves for home but finds the family is no longer there. When he is leav ing he suddenly comes across a dead man who turns out to be his brother, Robert. Barry starts searching for the murderer and goe-i into the moun tains to find gold to use for contin uing his search. He finds a good spot, gets gold and goes to Tylers- ville to get money for it. There he meets Judge Blue and his daughter. Lucy, who help him to get $450 for his gold. Judge Blue also tells him that the gun Jesse gave him is the gun of a murderer known as the Laredo Kid. The judge invites Barry up to visit him and there Barry dis covers the horse and saddle which was stolen from his brother Robert when he was killed. He finds out that it belongs to a cowboy who will re turn that night. He waits outside the stable and finally a rider comes up who turns out to be Jesse Conroy. He accuses Jesse of killing his broth er and of being the Laredo Kid. Judge Blue comes up behind, knocks Barry unconscious and tejls Jesse (Laredo) that Barry knows where there is gold and he’s keeping him until he finds out where it is. Barrv escapes, how ever, and as he is riding through the mountains, a shot whizzes past his ear. The man who fired the shot ex- nlains that he thought Barry was the Laredo Kid. “If I was only shore,” complained the invisible man. Then he said more brightly: “Step out where I can see yuh ain’t Laredo I won’t drill yuh.” Barry stirred ever so slightly, still crouching in the hollow, and thus at last was able to make out the form of the other man, standing close to a pine. He lifted his gun and covered that dim form steadily. Then he ans wered with quiet emphasis: “I’ve got you covered. Wiggle your ears and I’ll be the one who’s drilling you! Un with ’em! High up and quick about it!” A moment later the two, standing fronting each other in the open, amply satisfied themselves that neither was the Laredo Kid. Barry found himself looking down into the upturned face of a dried-up little old man. “No, yuh ain!t Laredo, dang it,” admitted the little gray man, and sounded more disgusted than ever. In the same querulous voice he growled: “Dan-- it, I dunno how I come to miss yuh like that, nuther. I ought to’ve got yuh dead center.” “What have you got against Laredo ?” “Aplentv! An’ if I never do an other deed o’ kindness, lonq-’g J live, I’m goin’ to let the bad bPod out’n him, an’ that’ll be all the blood he’s, trot. Mebbe it’ll be a long chase, with him on the jump like he is—” “Where’d he go? When?” demand ed Barry. “What’s happened?” “Wait till I go get me my gun.” He picked it un. dusted it off against a pair of old ragged overalls. “Come along over to mv camn. It’s only a short piece back up in the golly. We’ll squat an’ git acquaint ed.” “Anyody else at your camp?” “Jus’ Arabella.” Arabella was as small and toue-h and dried un for a burro as the little grav man for a human being. The old man by his own account was a shiftless prospector. What his real name was he never revealed; he conceded that men called him Baldy or Dad or Timberline, and that long ago he had come from Georgia. Yep, he knowed Laredo well: and he’d knowed hi ma long while. Like wise he knowed Judge Parker Blue, an’ knowed him a lot bett’n most! He refused to discuss the Judge, save generally, and beyond hinting broadly that he had a fund of secret knowledge about Judge Blue’s past. In the Laredo Kid’s case, however, the gates were wide open. The Kid, said he, had managed to get himself into such a mess that there was nothing left for him but to skedaddle, which he did with bul lets pesterin’ him like a swarm of hornets. Laredo had busted square into the Jamboree Saloon, and kill ed two men. But he did even more than that. One killed was Jake Ham mond, a man that folks liked real well. And Jake’s kid Jackie, only nine years old, happened in there, sent over by his mama, to bring Jake home; and Jackie saw it all and went crazy over it and ran and grabbed Laredo by the legs. And Laredo said, “Yuh want some too, yuh, yuh lit tle—” and shot him through the head. He went out laughing, the boys said, but he went fast. “Laredo, he crossed my trail close to six months ago. I was out on a desert stretch a considerable ways from here southwest. I don’t do much talkin’ about what happened— but I been after him ever since.” Presently Barry said. thinking about his plans for tomorrow: “You seem to know a good many folks around here Timberline. Hap- nen to know anybody out at the Judge’s new ranch about thirty miles from Tylersville?” “T was out that wav recent, pros pectin’ them little hills with the red gullies in ’em. There was some new folks out there, a man name of Hav eril an’ his wife. A real purty little woman she was. too.” He pulled at his moustadhe. “I was goin’ back to see her some time, but she’s gone now.” “Gone? Why they were there only three or four days ago.” “Gore now though. Y’see. young feller, whatever happens in this coun try gets talked about in Tyler, an’ whatever gets talked about in Tyler, T find out when I drop in. Three- four days ago, the Judge busted out o’ here, headed somewheres else. Some folks says he went East an’ some savs West: it’s my bet he’s headed Calif- omy-way. Anyhow, he took his gal. Lucy with him: an’ he took his new hired hand, that Zach Blount, an’ his purty young wife along — they say she’s a Haveril, too. An’ he stopped off at the New Branch, an’ told ’em there he’d sold it, an’ he chased them Haverils off: an’ folks sav they for shore headed for Califomy.” He cocked a blue eve at Barry. ’’What yuh askin’ fur?” he wanted to know. “They’re my folks,” sai l Barry. “Father and mother and brother; and Zach Blount’s wifx is my sister.” “So you are a Haveril, too, huh? Shake, Haveril,” Absently Barry shook as directed, feelin'i- his hand gripped by a small one that seemed old leather on the outside, soring steel within. First Brry returned to Tylers ville. He went openly, in broad day- lio-ht, but he was watchful at every step. No one molested him; none seemed to have any memory of him. Before Barry left Tylersville, he drew heavily upon his pocket money and bought the first horse he had owned He purchased the best to be had on short notice, and rode out of town that evening, well equipped, his carbine in saddle holster, con veniently at hand. He struck out for his own place, at the head of Sun Creek Valley. (Continued on Page Six) 53. Mollohon 4 . 54. Beth-Eden 5 55. Fork 8 57. Belfast 6 58. Silverstreet 14 59. Pressley 4 60.

RALPH B. BLACK, Treasurer Newberry County. BAPTIST MISSION BUDGET INCREASED Atlanta, Nov. 7.—The home mission hoard of the Southern Baptist con vention adopted a larger budget for the coming year today after being told that “greater challenges” than ever were ahead. Dr. Ellis A. Fuller, president of the board, said that, despite the “great problems” of a world in which “chaos is moving”, the mission board had bee nable to “surge forward . . . with its great message of redemption” be cause of “the loyalty and generosity of our Baptist people.” The 1941 budget was set at $530 000, or $17,000 more than for the current year. Division of the fund provided $302,000 for mission work and operating expenses $180,000 for debt retirement and $48,000 for in terest payments. The church representatives from eighteen Southern states and the Dis trict of Columbia, heard their field secretary, the Rev. Jacob Gartenhaus, declare that because of persecution of Jews in many parts of the world “there have never been so many op portunities for presenting Christ to Israel.” Baptisms in 1939 were ’isted by Southern Baptists as 269,155 compar ed with 256,814 in 1938 and 191,903 in 1936 in a report read by Dr. Roland Q. Leavell, superintendent of the ev angelism department The board decided upon inaugura tion of a city mission program to in clude ultimately the major cities of the South “as funds are availale.” Dr. J. D. Gray, of New Orleans, offered the motion to project such a program. Dr. Fuller was elected president of the board for the twelfth consecutive year; G. Frank Garrison, of Atlanta, was named recording secretary for the eleventh straight year and Dr. K O. White, of Atlanta, was elected vice president for the third year. All other administrative officers were re-elected also. MRS. ANNA PEARSALL IS INTERESTING PERSONALITY By DORIS ARMFIELD One of the most interesting per sons your reporter has ever met was when she made a trip to Silverstreet last Wednesday night with her neigh bors, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Blease and Mr-. Margaret Dean, to see Mrs. Anna x earsall. Probably a great many of you know Mrs. Pearsall. She has lived in or near Newberry for quite a number of years. It is our guess that she is one of the oldest if not the oldest, citizens in Newberry County, for she is 92 years of age. Mrs. Pearsall has been bedridden for a period of seven years, but not one word of complaint did she have to make, while we were there. A neighbor of hers, who goes to see her quite often, said she had never heard Mrs. Pearsall complain of even seem impatient about not being able to get about. Mrs. Pearsall was born on the coast of Maine, and though she has been in the South many many years, she still loves Maine, and still has the very faintest touch of the “northern brogue”. 'When she finished college in the north, she came South and taught school. One incident which she told us happened when the sunerintendent came to hire her. He told her the children were very rough and that the year before they had locked the teacher in the woodshed and wouldn’t let her out. The superintendent ex pressed his hope that the northern college she had attended taught her some way of handling such children. From the very beginning Mrs. Pears all began the “praise” system. In stead of fussing at the ones who did wrong, she praised those who did right, and since everyone loves praise, they finally got a little better. “At least,” said Mrs. Pearsall. “I didn’t get locked in the woodshed.” The question of woman suffrage came un. and when expressing her views, Mrs. Pearsall said, “I guess I’m just old fashioned; ut I don’t be lieve in woman suffrage. I think a woman can use her influence, and it will count as much as her vote will. The place for ladies is in their home, but since they’ve started voting, they never stay at home now. They are usually out politicking or something like that. The ‘coming womah’ has come, and I’m afraid she's here to stay. I voted once, or twice, it’s true, but the only reason I did was because a man was running for legislature whose name was Eugene Blease. I didn't know Cole Blease personally, but I voted and did what little I could for him when he was running, because he was Eugene’s brother.” When Mrs. Pearsall spoke of voting for Judge for legislature, he said that was in 1921, and that he was the first person to be elected m Newberry county after the law was passed al lowing women to vote. He was may or of Newberry at the time When a member of the house from Newberry died. A special election was held in 1921 to elect a representative to fill out the unexpired term, and Judige Blease was elected, making him the first person in the county to be elected after woman suffrage. But to get back to our original sub ject, Mrs. Pearsall. Seldom has this reporter ever seen anyone with such a remarkable memory, and never have I seen anyone near her age with a memory like hers. At one time she wrote for The Newberry Herald and News, and often composed poetry. Even now, at nights, for she sleeps very little, she lies in bed and com poses poems. Before we left, she re cited a lengthy poem without one mo ment’s hesitation. She knew every word of it, and said she had known it since her daughter was in grammar school. I wish I had a copy of the poem to print, for it was new to me, and so very entertaining, but it wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining as hearing her recite it. I wish everyone could know Mrs. Pearsall. I wish I had known her sooner. I have never met, and doubt if I will ever meet, a person with such an interesting and remarkable personality. Just to be with her is in spiring. As one of her neighbors said, “We often go to see her to cheer her up, but instead, she takes us ‘out of the dumps’.” PERFECT ATTENDANCE FOR OAKLAND SCHOOL H-D COLUMN By MISS ETHEL L. COUNTS “You can spend enough money on food to buy a good diet and still suf fer from hidden hunger.” That is the gist of a recent survey of di^ts of farm and city families made by the Bureau of Home Economics. U. S. Department of Agriculture and four other government agencies. In other words, many a city family is not laying out its food dollars so as to buy health and good nutrition. Many a farm family is not making the most of its land and livestock to feed the family right. Diet deficiency still is widespread— and it is not confined to famiies whose incomes are too low to buy enough of the right kind of food. “Many other families,” says Dr. Hazel K. Stiebel- ing, food economist of the Bureau of Home Economics, “are getting poor diets simply because they are not spending their food dollars wisely.” * 1 2 3 4 5 6 In grading diets for the survey, Doctor Stiebling and her co-workers called any diet “unsafe” that did not furnish at least the average amounts of the food values the body needs just to keep it going. This type of diet is unsafe because a person can’t count on it to keep him in shape to stand up under ordinary stresses and strains of life—much less fit him to meet any kind of crisis. “An unsafe diet may not put a person to bed,” Dr. Stiebling said, “but it can undermine health. “Unsafe diets bring in their train such symptoms as chronic fatigue, le thargy, and certain types of digestive disorders. Result of these symptoms may he a person who is constantly “under par”—in his resistance to dis ease and his general well-eing." Judging from the survey, at least one-fourth of the nonrelief farm fam ilies in this county are getting diets below the “safety line” part of the year. Fewer than half get diets that rate really good. The situation found in the cities reached by the survey was ever poorer. In one group of farm families, some were getting good diets, though they were in the same income class and were spending about the same am ounts at the grocery store. A close- up of these diets showed why. Those with diets rated excellent produced 3 times as much milk for home use, 1% times as much meat, poultry, and eggs, and almost twice as many vege tables, fruits and other home-grown produce, as did the families with poor or unsafe diets. The country over, the outstanding difference between good and poor diets lies in the greater amounts of the “protective” foods that the good diets contain. These foods include milk, eggs, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, and citrus fruits. The foods are called “protective” because they are rich in certain vita mins and minerals. And they are es pecially valuable because they supply calcium, and vitamins A and €—the food factors frequently low in poor diets. Obviously, from this study, it is well worth any homemaker’s time to study food values and their relation to food costs. She can get help from numerous sources—nutrition experts, authoritative books, and bulletins and attending Home Demonstration club meetings. NEWS FACTS ^GEORGE LONDON, ENGLAND.

PROFIT IN GROWING OATS Clemson—Practices which have sig nificant influence on yield and cost of producing oats, as shown in analy ses of 176 oats demonstration records, are given below by Clemson exten sion economists: 1. The average cost per bushel tends to decrease and the average net returns per acre increase as the yield increases. 2. With larger fields more econom ical use can be made of labor and ma chinery. 3. Around 1.5 bushels of seed per acre will insure a good stand. 4. A good stand is highly essential to obtain maximum yields. 5. Oats seeded with a drill give the highest average yield per acre and the highest net returns per acre. 6. Seed direct from the breeder give higher yields, 7. Proper seedbed preparation is worthy of consideration. 8. Oats planted after such highly fertilized crops as cotton or tobacco tend to give better yields and greater net returns per acre. 9. Plenty of moisture during the critical growing period is essential. 10. As organic matter in the soil decreases the average yeld per acre decreases, the average cost per bush el increases, and the net returns per acre decrease. 11. The use of manure gives a high er yield per acre, at a lower cost per bushel, and consequently higher net returns per acre. 12. Nitrogen seems to have more effect upon the yield than does phos phoric acid or potash. 13. Oats top-dressed rather early produce the better yields.
