BLIGHTS ON COUNTY FAIRS
Residents of Charlotte are protest
ing to the authorities of the annual
fair held in that city against the
character of midway entertainment
Among the protests was one from
members of a book club which said:
“The following members of the Co-
lonia Book Club have had occasion to
discuss the last Southern States Fair
•held in Mecklenburg county. It was
remarked what a fine thing it is for
the people Of this vicinity to have
opportunity to see the various exhi
bits and have clean, wholesome en
tertainment. The blot on it all, and
one that will cause disrepute and de
terioration if allowed to continue, is
the character of the exterior exhi
bitions and ‘come on’ talk in front
of various concessions, and the sen
sual and bawdy advertising used
along the midway.”

Greek War Relief
Dennis Athanos has been asked by
the Greek War Relief association of
Augusta, Ga., to act as chairman of
a committee here to raise funds for
the Greek nation. These organiza
tions have already been set up in
many South Carolina cities and are
reporting liberal contributions. New
berry will in all probability be very
generous in its contributions to this
brave little nation which is fighting
for its very existence. It is seldom
that the Greeks have sought funds in
this country for any purpose but they
have always contributed liberally to
other causes.
The Busj Bee cafe is donating all
the money received in its place from
11 to 4 o'clock Sunday, December 1
to the above cause. By dining there
Sunday you will contribute to the
Greeks cause. If however, you had
rather make a direct contribution get
in touch with Dennis Athanos, or any
of the Greeks at the Busy Bee and
leave your donation.
Greece is a poor country under the
best of conditions and now that war
has come to her outside help is ab
solutely essential if she is to survive
and fight a successful war against the
invading foe.
The Charlotte fair must have had
a midway similar to that at the last
Spartanburg county fair. This news
paper called attention to the dirt and
filth on the midway, but it was not
successful in getting a response
from any of the clubs or other civic
orzanizations of Spartanburg.
We do not know what midway ar
rangements have been made for the
fair in 1941, but we do know that
any effort to introduce filthy and ob
scene shows like those seen here in
October will be opposed by these
newspapers. Many midway attrac
tions at the last fair were insults to
the people who attended the fair.
There should be no place at the fair
for such dirt. There will not be next
year if the good people of this coun
ty will support the press in its ef
forts to prevent.—Spartanburg Her
ald.

100
LAYERS SHOW $280 PROFIT
IN YEAR
Manning, Nov. 24.—Miss Janie
Fleming of New Zion in Clarendon
county last year made a profit of
$280.75 on her flock of chickens.
Miss Fleming kept an accurate ac
count record of all expenses and re
ceipts on her poultry enterprise last
year, and following recommenda
tions of the poultry specialists and
her home demonstration agent. Her
receipts come from selling eggs, fry
ers and culitd hens. She started at
the beginning of the season with a
flock of 141 barred rocks- and at the
end of the season had culled them to
eighty five, which gave her about
an average of 100 layers.
These hens laid an average of 130
eggs which is far above the per hen
production in the county. The in
come from sale of eggs was $286.85
and the income from sale of fryers
and culled hens was $291.95. Out of
this came feed costs and cost of new
equipment, which left a net income
of $280.75.
Miss Fleming raises her pullets
each year and sells the cockerals for
fryers. She believes in having good
stock so got her baby chicks from a
high egg production flock. She
follows the feeding recommendations
of the extension service, and carries
out the rules of sanitation which help
in control of insect pests and keeps
down disease and parasites in flocks.

COX PROPOSES TO OUTLAW
STRIKES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Repre
sentative Cox (D.-Ga.) asserting that
“strikes against the government”
were the “most shameful thing that
has happened in this country in a
long time,” proposed today that Con
gress outlaw all such strikes during
the “emergency period.”
He told the house membership, as
sembled outside the Capitol for the
first time since 1857, that “labor •-ack-
eteers” were responsible for the
strikes.
“I am wondering”, he said, “if
Congress does not have the vitality
or the real courage to take notice of
what is happening to this country and
do something in an effort to remedy
it."
The House had no business before
it, and the session was devoted to
speeches on various subjects. The
meeting was held in the ways and
means committee room of one of the
two house office buildings because of
repairs being made to the Capitol
roof.

Mrs. Abbie Dominick, 81, widow of
George R. Dominick died at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. D. L. Beden-
baugh, Sunday night. She had been
an invalid for two years and seriously
ill one week prior to her death.
Funeral services were conducted at
the grave side in the Prosperity ce
metery Monday afternoon by the Rev.
J. V. Long.
Mrs. Dominick was the daughter of
the late William Lester of Confed
erate war fame and Hannah Young
Lester. She possessed a friendly dis-
lowa.
The height of the corn is attribut
able to the fertility of these valleys,
the availability of moisture and to
the excellent farming practices of the
hard working and frugal folks who
live in this section of South Carofina.
“However, it is partly due to the
fact that these farmers are cogniz-
ent of and put into practice some
thing which their ancestors also
knew. That is the fact that hardwood
leaves add fertility to agricultural
lands. Extension service specialists
at Clemson, county agents through
out the state, and state department
of agriculture forces, vocational ag
riculture teachers and many others
have also been continuously advising
farmers throughout the state to
husband the organic matter in their
soils,” said State forester H. A.
Smith.

SHARP RISE MADE IN S. G.
DEATHS ON ROAD THIS YEAR
U. S. NEGRO PRESS COULD
AID NAZIS
Columbia, Nov. 24.—Four hundred
and 12 persons died in traffic acci
dents in South Carolina during the
first nine months of this year, com
pared with 359 for the same period
in 1939, the highway department re
ported today.
September fatalities totaled 57,
compared with 52 in September, 1939.
More deaths resulted this year
from non-collision accidents than any
other type of accident. This type in
cluding running off the road, over
turning and other instances involv
ing no collision, was responsible for
124 deaths.
Traffic accidents of all types in
creased 11 per cent in number and
deaths increased 15 per cent.
VOTE IN SENATE GIVES NEW
DEAL SECOND SETBACK
2 MEN HURT IN ACCIDENTS
Arvid Lominick was probably ser
iously injured Sunday afternoon in
an automobile accident near New
Hope Methodist church. He is said
to have suffered severe head injuries
and is a patient at the local hospital,
where little hope is held for his re
covery.
Grover Lanford was admitted to
the local hospital following injuries
sustained when a truck in which he
was an occupant struck a telephone
pole near Kinards Monday morning.
He suffered chest injuries.
Washington, Nov. 25.—Disregard
ing the vigorous objections of the
majority leadership, the senate vot
ed today to take up the much-disput
ed Logan-Waltei* bill, designed to
give the courts increased authority
to review and set aside the decisions
of such government agencies as the
labor board and securities commis
sion.
With scarcely more than a quorum
present, the vote was 34 to 21. Rep
ublican members voted solidly to give
the measure a healring, and were
joined by 15 Democrats. All the 21
opposing ballots were cast by Demo
crats.
It was the second successive defeat
dealt out to congressional leaders
since the presidential election. Last
week the house rejected a proposal
for adjournment.
The senate’s decision gave the
champions of the Logan-Walter meas
ure their first success in a 19-month
to get the measure before the sen
ate . It had passed by the house, and
predictions have been made that if
it is enacted it will be vetoed by
President Roosevelt.
Editor of Kansas City Call Says Sub
sidization Would Be
Logical Procedure
Hampton, Va., Nov. 25.—Chester
A. Franklin, editor of the Kansas
City Call, suggested to the national
conference on negro participation in
national defense today that as “a
perfectly logical proposition” the
Nazis might attempt to undermine
the morale of this country by. subsi
dizing the negro press.
Addressing the press section of
the two-day meeting being held in
connection with the inauguration of
Dr. Malcolm S. MacLean as sixth
president of Hampton institute,
Franklin said:
“If I were a Nazi wanting tu get
control of this country, I know just
what I’d do. I’d approach a negro
publisher who was living from hand
to mouth and either buy his paper or
subsidize him. Then I’d see that his
columns would be filled with my kind
of propaganda. ... It could easily
happen.”
To forestall such a development,
he suggested that the United States
encourage its large industries to aid
the negro press in advertising so that
it would become so strong there eould
be no question of it being taken over.
