COUNTS An enviable record has been achiev ed by the Newberry Concert Band, composed of as fine a set of men as can be found anywhere, heving play ed before dignitarjes. presidents and ex-presidents of the United States, before notables and at some of the biggest gatherings in the South and Nation. The band has figured in most of the big events of this state while playing dates for many big events in other states. The hand was started early In the century gaining a wide reputation under the late W. A. Wherry who was succeeded by Van H. Lewis and now continues on under the capable leadership of J. S. Pruitt. Of the original set-up beginning in 1904 only D. B. Chandler, now business manager, and S. L. Jones, solo trombonist, continue to carry on. The hand is composed of employes of the Newberry Cotton Mill, one of the oldest mills in this part of the state. The mill ooened the Willowbrook Park in 1918 and since that time the band has given concerts weekly and on Sunday to thousands of well pleas ed listeners. Local organizations always find the band eager and ready to perform when called upon for par ades and entertainment. The history of the hand is one that few amateur musical groups can equal and probably none can surpass as the naming of some of their »on- tracts will show. Some of the high light*' sre: At the South Car-dina State fair for several years, at the Carolina Fair at Augusta, Ga., when President Taft was there, at Wash ington, D. C., when the Confederate Reunion was held in the Nation’s Capitol in 1917, in Greenwood when Marshall Foch of France toured the Upited States, at Columbia when the National Com Show was held in the South. The bend played five sum mer programs at L*ke Junaluska; at the First Textile Exposition in Green ville; at Washington the only time three presidents of the United States were ever on the same speakers stand at the Confederate Reunion, namely, Wilson, Taft and Roosevelt. During the years that the South Carolina band contests were held the Newberry Concert Band is said to have captured all the prizes so one can readily see that in all these years the band ranks far above the aver age of an amateur band or one of its class. To Zach F. Wright and the late J. Marion Davis go much of the credit for the band’s outstanding achievement. Mr. Wright was presi dent of the mill and they backed the band organization over 100 per cent in every undertaking. Their heart and soul were behind and with the band at all times. W. H. Hardemar was business manager until he left Newberry several years ago. He also worked untiringly for the band. While a new group of musicians is in the band now there are many of the older ones who have felt the magic of the baton waved by John Philip Sousa, the greatest band dir ector and march King of this coun- rty having played with him in Colum bia on his swing around the county and Bohumir Kryl who brought his orchestra here last week gave the Newberry band his picture after go ing to the hall and personally direct ing the band through almost an en tire program that he played here with aVhautaqua program. Now with the best in this section the band is swinging into favor with not only Newberrians but is widely known over the state. Even with all the fine records it has achieved and the many important and dignified en gagements it has filled with wide spiead newspaper comments that would cover an acre of ground or more, never did the boys think they would be given the horse laugh but that is really what happened. It came about this way during the Yuletide program Monday afternoon on the public square when the mas ter of ceremonies, E. B. (Ned) Pur cell, said, “we will now have music by the Newberry Concert Band,” and his words had hardly wafted over the large assemblage before one of the gray horses drawing old Santa’s sleigh neighed so loud that a wild cheer and laugh went up that could have been heard for blocks. A list of the members of the band and the instruments they play is as follows: D. B. Chandler, manager; J. S. Pruitt, director; Eugene Shealy, drum major; Elvira Shealy and Doris Miller, majorettes; J. Boyd Robertson, Kenneth Pruitt, Bailey Humphries, R. J. Nichols, Ernest Kinard, Charles Leopard, cornets; B. A. Pouknight, A. H. Clark, Jr., Oarmon Bouknight, Marion Franklin, Ralph Rowe, James Bowers, Charles Bradley, clarinets; S. L. Jones, Harold Leopard, Thomas Bouknight, Robert Creekmore, trom bones; Wesley White, James Wesson, W. H. Templeton, horns; Harman Meeks and James Lindsey, basses; Herman Leopard and Charles Pruitt, baritones; Roland Bobb and Frank Shealy, saxophones; Matthew Adams and Harold Hardeman, drums.

A man who two years ago sat on the same platform with Adolph Hit ler declared in an interview while visiting here this week that he con sidered himself criminally negligent in not having sacrificed hs own life to kill the German dictator. The man was Samuel C. Lamport, New York, cotton exporter, who numbers among his frienus Presi dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, Vice-presi dent Elect Henry A. Wallace, Sena tor Walter F. George, Secretary of State Cordell Hull and other high government officials.

WITH TOUR CHILDRE I'VE GOT MY HANDS FULL/ one of the first Amercan delegates of the President’s Good Neighbor League to tour Europe and was invit ed by the “burgemeister” of a small Bavarian town to sit on tne platform from which Chancellor Hitler was making a speech, that the crime was committed, Mr. Lamport declared. “It was a sheer piece of criminal negligence not to have broug.it a gun with me. I should ha''e shot that mad dog and sacrificed my own life. That might have spared millions of deaths throughout Europe today. It was criminal not to have done this; if only I knew then what was to hap pen to the world. I would have found some way of killing Hitler who thinks he has replaced Christ.” Continuing, the textile exporter de clared that Americans today are also living a crime. “Here we are,” he said, “the greatest people in the world regarding the greatest tragedy the world has ever faced, content with only a smattering of the facts: stand ing on the abyss of the most ghastly catastrophe of all time and taking it nonchalantly.” Disaster Possible Here “Not alone the banker, big indus trialist and politicians but the man who works that loom in Spartanburg the fellow who fin.shes the cloth in Greenville and the man who works as a mill-hand at Greer should be brought to realize whal may even- tualize to bring disaster to home and family if the cancerous Nazi- Fascist germs are allowed to go un checked,” Mr. Lamport said. “What we should do,” said Mr. Lamport, “is to bring to the heart and mind of every American citizen his stake in this great revolution that has overcome the old world and the conflict’s repercussions which threat en to infect the blood-stream of American life. We must do this, in order for every man to do his duty to avoid the mistakes that France and England, Poland and Holland and During the ceremony of raising or lowering the flag, or when the flag is passing in a parade or in a review, all persons present should face the flag, stand at attention, and salute. | Those in uniform should render the i right hand salute. Men not in uni form should remove their hats with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Women should salute by plac ing the right hand over the heart. The salute to the flag in a moving column is rendered as the flag passes. At public or private gatherings where the flag is displayed and the national anthem is played, those pre sent should face the flag and salute in the proper manner. Attempts to “improve” the appear ance of the flag by other methods of display, such as fastening it into a rosette or using it as draping, lack the respect due Old Glory, the sym bol of our country. Whether indoors or out, the flag should not be festooned over door ways or arches, tied in a bow knot, or otherwise used in a purely decora tive manner. For these purposes, bunting of the national colors is more appropriate and, since the blue union is the flag’s honor point, the bunting should be arranged with that color uppermost. At unveiling ceremonies the flag should form a distinctive feature of the program, but should not be used as a covering for the statue. The use of the flag for athfetic uniforms, handkerchiefs, napkins or other purposes lacking in dignity or respect, while not strictly a violation of the law, is offensive to persons of patriotic feeling. When the flag becomes soiled, it should be laundered with propriety. This is best done n one’s own home. There is an old arm custom where by the flag, when damaged or frayed may be withdrawn from service with due reverence. According to the cus tom, the union is first cut from the flag, then the two pieces of the flag, which is no longer a flag, are cre mated and their ashes strewn over the parade ground. When a number of flags of states or cities or pennants of societies or schools are grouped and displayed from staffs with the United States flag, are latter should be at the cen ter or at the highest point * of the group. When carried in a procession with another flag or flags, the United States flag should be either on the marching right, or when there is a line of other flags, the United States flag may be in the front of the cen ter of that line. When displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, the United States flag should be on the right (the flag’s own right) and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag. When flags of states or cities or pennants of societies or schools a e flown in the same staff as the United States flag, the latter should always be at the peak. When flown from adjacent staffs, the United States flag should be raised first and lowered last. When it is to be flown at half-mast, the flag riiould be hoisted to the peak for an instant and then lowered to the half-mast position. Before low ering the flag for the day, it should be again raised to the peak. By half- mast is meant hauling down the flag to one-half the distance between the top and the bottom of the staff. When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from the window sill, balcony or front of a building, the Union of the flag should go clear to the peak of the staff (unless the flag is to be displayed at half-mast.) When displayed over the middle of the street, the flag should be sus pended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street. When the flag is suspended over a sidewalk from a rope extending from a house to a pole at the edge o* the sidewalk, the flag should be hoisted out from the building, tow ard the pole, union first. When the flag is displayed in a manner other than being flown from a staff, it should be displayed flat, whether indoors or out. When dis played either horizontally or verti cally against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the nag’s own right, that is, to the observer’s left. When displayed in a window, it Should be displayed in the same way, that is, with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street.

His formula for attaining this pre paredness is to make every legis lator keenly alert and aware of the heartfelt interest in giving every possible aid to Britan, “who is now fighting on the last stand of civili zation against the forces of dicta torship,” and strengthen her in every way we can.

The Methodist church’s commission on ev angelism met here today and devised plans for “revival of the old time ev angelistic spirit” among the nation’s 8,000,000 Methodists. This revival campaign is to be car ried on intensely throughout 1941, and plans call for creation of a “fellow ship committee” in each of the 45,000 local churches to reclaim “back-aid ers.” The commission on evangelism re potted that two-thirds of the persons received into churches later became inactive or indifferent. “New members are lost,” the com mission said, “because they are not taught the history of the Christian church, indoctrinated in its beliefs, or impressed with its convictions.” ARMY WILL BUY STOCK Washington, Dec. 6—Come Christ mas, 7,000 more horses and mules will be in the army. In announcing the forthcoming pur chases, the war department disclosed that 12,832 horses and mules uave been bought for the remount service in the past five months to keep pace with the expansion of military person nel. On the basis of purchase prices, the mules can look down their long Roman noses at tihe supposedly more elegant horses. The army has pajd an aver age of $180 for good pack mules, only $160 for riding and draft horses. RED CROSS \^OOL HAS ARRIVED The wool for sweaters has come and can be had at Boundary street school along with dresses, bed shirts, and layettes. Hours are from two until four P. M. every day except Saturdays. The work is going out slowly and the committee would appreciate it it the interested women of town and county would get materials before the school closes for Christmas holidays. The rooms will have to be closed then as there will be no heat in the build ing. The sewing will not have to be re turned before the end of January, to be shipped first of February. The knitters can have more time but if the sweaters are to be useful we want them to go while the- weather is coldest. Knitters will be able to get needles from Miss 'Mattie Adams, as we only have a few sets. They may also be gotten from other lo cal stores.

When the flag is displayed in the body of a church, it should be from a staff placed in a position of honor at the congregation’s right, a sthey face the clergyman. The service flag, the state flag or other' flag should be at the left of the congregation. If in the chancel or on the platform, the United States flag should be placed on the clergyman’s right as he faces the congregation and the other flags at his left. When used to cover a casket, the flag should be placed so that the union is at the head and over the left shoulder of the deceased. The flag should not be lowered into the grave or allowed to touch the ground. The casket should be carried foot first. ST. LUKES EPISCOPAL CHURCH Rev. B. A.
