SILVERSTREET TRUSTEES SAVE
SCHOOL DISTRICT OVER $10,000
On Thursday, November 28, Henry
M. Havird, Secretary of the Board of
Trustees of Silverstreet Consolidated
School District No. 58, Ralph B.
Black, Treasurer of Newberry county
and Pinckney N. Abrams, Auditor of
Newberry County, delivered to C. W.
Haynes and Co., Columbia, $17,000
3 1-4 percent Refunding Bonds of Sil-
venstreet Consolidated High school
District No. 58. Simultaneously,
Ralph Black, Treasurer of Newberry
county purchased from the Sinking
Fund Commission of South Carolina
and the Newberry Bond Commission
$17,000 4 percent outstanding Bonds
of Silverstreet Consolidated school
district No. 58. Mr. Black also pur
chased from C. W. Haynes and Co. a
$500 3 1-4 percent Bond maturing in
1954.
The refinancing of these Bonds
from 4 per cent to 3 1-4 percent and
the purchasing, before due date of
the Bond due in 1954 will save the
taxpayers of the Silverstreet school
districts approximately $1,500.
This is the second time in which
the Trustees of this school have re
financed their indebtedness. On Oct.
1, 1937 the Trustees refinanced $20,-
000 of its outstanding indebtedness
from 6 per cent to 4 pe~ cent.
This re-financing saved the tax
payers of Silverstreet approximately
$9,000 in interest.
These two re-financing deals have
saved the taxpayers over $10,000 in
interest, and amount equal to the ex
penditures on the construction of the
new gymnasium.
The Trustees of Silverstreet are
to be congratulated upon their splen
did financing abilities.
All of their outstanding bonded ob
ligations bear 3 1-4 percent interest,
other than $300 of an issue dated July
1, 1926, which bears 5 1-2 percent.

School District No. 58 is composed
of the following school districts:

GROW GREEN FEED TO GET
MORE EGGS
To get the highest egg production
and hatchability Newberry county
poultry raisers need to grow green
feed for their hens, says County Ag
ent P. B. Ezell. Green feed, he ex
plains, supplies vitamin A and vita
min B, both of which are necessary
for high egg production and hatchab
ility. Vitamin A is necessary also to
prevent an eye trouble similar to
roup.
Besides its nutritional advantages,
green feed tends to keep the birds
satisfied, probably helps to prevent
feather pulling and cannibalism, and
aids in combating diseases and para
sites.
Oats make a good winter grazing
crop, the county agent points out.
Seeded at the rate of five bushels
per acre, oats will make a dense sod
and will furnish grazing for a flock
of hens longer than when lighter
seedings are made.
Italian rye grass also makes an ex
cellent winter grazing for hens. Ac
cording to trials at the Mississippi
Experiment Station, Italian rye grass
afforded grazing for a number of
hens over a longer period of time than
any other grass. It should be seed
ed at the rate of 40 pounds per acre,
in the drill or broadcast, and covered
about one-half inch deep.
“If the yards used for hens tq
range are limited or if there is any
question about not having ample
green feed for the hens at all times,
lespedeza meal or alfalfa leaf meal
should be added to the mash”, said
Mr. Ezell. “This can be added at the
rate of 5 to 10 pounds per 100 pounds
of mash, and may be substituted for
corn meal or wheat middlings. It will
not materially increase the coat of
the mash and it will supply the feed
factors which are normally supplied
in green feed.”
COTTON FARMERS URGED TO
BALLOT
All farmers who produced cotton
in 1940 are eligible to vote in the De
cember 7 referendum to determine
if cotton marketing quotas will be in
effect on the 1941 crop, announces
Mr. R. C. Floyd, chairman of the
County AAA Committee.
Under the Agricultural Adjust
ment Act of 1938, marketing quotas
are applicable to all cotton except
that with a staple length of 1 1-2
inches or more. Each 1940 cotton
producer, whether owner, tenant, or
sharecropper, will be entitled to one
vote.
The County AAA Committee will
be in charge of all arrangements for
the referendum in the county, and
the voting will be carried out as in
any other election, Mr. Floyd says.
The committee will choose three local
farmers to serve as the referendum
committee in each community.
Convenient voting places will be
provided for all communities where
cotton is produced.
“The questions to be decided De
cember 7 is whether marketing quo
tas will be used in connection with
the 1941 cotton crop”, Mr. Floyd
states. “If two-thirds of the voting
farmers approve, quotas will be in
effect and will apply to all states,
counties, and commlnities where cot
ton is produced.”
He urges Newberry county farmers
to consider the quota provisions ana
the present cotton situation closely
and to vote their own convictions. He
emphasizes that, regardless of how
they vote, all eligible growers should
cast their ballots to make the vote as
representative as possible.

BRITISH BUYING QUARTERS IN
WASHINGTON FORTRESS
The British purchasing mission in
Washington isn’t taking any chances
with nazi spies.
The mission has taken over the
entire fifth floor of the Willard hotel
for its offices. “Seriously,” a treasury
department official who has been
there, reports, “that place is better
guarded than the mint.”
All the windows on the Willard’s
ninth floor are not only barred but
taped for a special burglar alarm
system. Grilled walls of special
steel block the stairways from the
floor above and the floor below. The
elevator entrance to the ninth floor
on the Pennsylvania avenue side also
has been blocked off, making it possi
ble to reach the mission’s offices only
by way of the F street elevator. At
the entrance, the ordinary reception
ist is flanked by armed guards. Other
fast-shooting guards patrol the cor
ridors.

The houses public buildings and
utilities systems of this community
of 1,500 have been put up for sale
by the Dierks Lumber company. In
cluded are a 60-room hotel, theater,
store, office buildings and two schools.
Company officials said they planned
to move their sawmill and other
equipment to a new location.
BUTCHER HOGS
Friday morning, James Long and
Thomas F. Werts had a nice hog
hanging up at Mr. Long’s house. The
women folks of both families were
busy getting ready to make sausage,
pudding, etc. Mr. Werts remarked,
“Soup is all right for summer time,
but when frost falls, we FSA people
have to have fresh meat.”
The week before, both families
butchered one of Mr. Werts’ hogs.
NEWBERRY’S MAIL FOR SANTA
ASKS AID FOR OTHERS
The little boys and girls of New
berry, Pomaria, Silverstreet and other
communities yesterday sent letters to
Santa Claus at Newberry—and many
of them asked Old Santa to remember
others.
“Remember all the children whose
fathers are in war in Europe,” wrote
a child who signed her name Nora
Kathryn of Pomaria.
Sadie Schumpert (age eight) of
1203 First Street, Newberry, asked
for her gifts and signed the let
ter, “Youn best friend.”
“I am still loving you,” declared
Nancy Mims (age ten).
“Please remember all the poor lit
tle boys and girls,” was the plea of
Gerald Golden (age eight) of 1908
River street, Newberry.
Jerry Culclasure (age eight) ex
pressed hope that Santa would nave
enough to “give each child what they
want.”
“I have a pretty black dog and
please bring him a bone,” wrote Joan
Dennis closing, “I love you.”
Two boys, apparently brothers, Al
len and Mack Calcote, of 1209 Cal
houn street, Newberry, printed their
letters in laborious figures and listed
mail order catalog prices so there
would be no mistake,—The State, Dec.
2, 1940.
TOBACCO TAX REVENUE IS UP
FOR YEAR
Chicago, Dec. 2.—State tobacco tax
collections “may pass the $100,000.-
000 mark for the 1940 fiscal year,”
the Federation of State Tax Adminis
trators reported today.
It based this estimate on figures
from 21 of the 26 tobacco tax states
and announced that collections of the
21 states were $76,464,000.
Thirteen of the 26 states tax only
cigarets, four tax cigarets, papers
and tubes, and nine tax cigarets, ci
gars and other tobacco products
Louisiana and Arkansas levy the
highest tobacco tax—five cents on
cigarets, Mississippi collects fo/ur
cents. Eight states, Alabama, Geor
gia, North Dakota. Oklahoma, South
Carolina, South Datota, Tennessee,
and Texas impose a three-cent tax
and the remaining 15 charge a two-
cent tax.
The latter group includes Arizona,
Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky.
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is
land, Utah, Vermont. Washington and
Wisconsin.
Santa Claus came to Newberry
Monday and was greeted by thousands
of persons who lined the streets to
get a glimpse of Saint Nicholas and
see the parade-
The parade led by the Whitmire
high school band under the direction
of Superintendent R. C. Lake, was
followed by the Newberry Concert
band, of which J. S. Pruitt is direc
tor. The parade formed on upper
Main street and marched to the public
square, where a program of music
and speaking was given.
E. B. Purcell, president of the
chamber of commerce here, presided
and introduced Mayor John W. Ear-
hardt, who turned the city over to St.
Nick. Songs were sung by Newberry
high school girls and Newberry Col
lege singers. Music also was pro
vided by the two bands.
In the parade were Boy Scouts,
Girl Scouts, Santa Claus in a vehicle
drawn by two gray horses, girls in
latest model automobiles and on
horses, Newberry college students and
a jumping car.
Mayor Earhardt said “Some be
lieve there is no Santa Claus, but
there certainly is one and there will
be o^e as long as Christian civilzation
lives.”
Tonight everything was merry
here with many hundreds of vari
colored lights aglow and with a big
Christmas tree atop the tall Exchange
building.

LAND BANK SELLS 10,800
PROPERTIES
Washington, Dec. 2.—A. F. Black,
governor of the farm credit adminis
tration, reported today that an in
creasing number of tenant farmers
had purchased farms during 1940, a
fact he attributed to higher agricul
tural incomes.
In the first nine months, he said,
farmers bought 10,800 properties,
priced at more than $27,000,000, from
the Federal Land Banks and the land
bank commissioner.
Black also reported a decline in
land bank and commissioner foreclos
ures, from 14,629 in the first 9 months
of 1939 to 6,414 in the same period
this year.

N. C. GETS ANOTHER SEAT IN
CONGRESS, CENSUS INDICATES
WASHINGTON. Dec. 1.—The cen
sus bureau tabulated the final 1940
census figures today and computed
the probable apportionment of con
gressional seats for the next decade.
North Carolina is expected to gain
another seat, raising the number from
11 to 12.
The results will be reported to the
President tomorrow and are expect
ed to be made public by the White
House soon thereafter. Meanwhile
the census officials declined all pre
dictions and tips on the figures.
It was learned however, that the
revised total of the April 1 popula
tion of the 48 states and the Dist
rict of Columbia was slight’y higher
than the 131,409,881 preliminary es
timate issued by the bureau about
two months ago.
On Capitol Hill, the apportionment
figures were awaited for their pos
sible effect on the future careers of
individual congressmen.
Reapportionment on the basis of
the present 435-seat size of the
house and the mathematical formula
used in 1930—the procedure so far
favored by Congress—may switch a
number of seats. It is also indicated
that Florida will have six representa
tives instead of the present five.
