MORE WONDER DOGS
The following ear-marked for fchi»
column is from the Johnston Herald:
The Padgett twins—Ernest and
Earl—went rabbit hunting Christmas
day. The dogs jumped a rabbit, and
Ernest started running to a place
where he expected the hare to pass.
He had his gun over his shoulder,
and tripping on a vine or bush, fell
forward to the ground. In falling, his
gun went out in front of him and
the end of the barrel accidently
struck another rabbit which was
crouched in its bed. The gun barrel
hit the rabbit with sufficient force
to knock him out. So, Ernest got
one rabbit without firing a shot.
A pretty good tale, but I must
tell you about John Peterson’s fam
ous cold-trail dog. John has a dog
so good on cold trails that it became
necessary for him to prove what nis
dog could do. So, one night, the
story goes, John took his dog out
to prove his stuff. Old Slate took
up a trail almost immediately and
followed it straight to an old hollow
tree. John cut the tree down, and
what do you think ? He found only a
skeleton of a ooon!
COULDN’T FOOL THAT DOG
Oomes D. V. Knight with a true
dog story which seems almost un
believable. Mr. Knight relates that
he brought a bird dbg in from the
country and the first thing he point
ed was a Negro. The Negro had no
bird in his hand so his clothes were
searched, but no bird. Later the dog
again “pointed” the Negro and to
make certain he had no bird about
him he was stripped of his outer
clothing. And then it was found
that his underwear wae made from
Whippoorwill flour sacks!
SHOULD STICK TO THE TRUTH
Albert D. Betts, noisy mouthpiece
of the drys in a recent press release
states that “Four out of five fam
ilies on relief are there because of
liquor.” Of course Brother Betts is
stretching the truth here for such Is
not the case and he knows it! Moat
people are on relief because there
have not been jobs for the untrain
ed. I don’t believe one out of fifty
on Newberry relief rolls are there
because of liquor. 1 know personally
many of them and; I know they are
not there on account of liquor. They
are honest people for the most part,
Willing to work for what they get,
and the cause of prohibition will not
be furthered by .such wild mouthing*
on the part of Brother Betts.
ANENT CUNNINGHAM COMET
We have the following from As
trologer and Weather Prophet Dr.
W. P. Houseal, regarding the Cun
ningham comet, now dashing around
in the statosphere:
“Astronomers Leviutand and Mar
shall of the Feks planetarium of
New York City have the following
comment as to the best time to get
a good view of the Cunningham com
et which is now rushing in its orbit
around Old Sol at break-neck speed:
“Again this month as in December
Oomet Cunningham will be the most
spectacular light in the evening sky,
The best time to see it is just before
the middle of the month before the
full moon has a chance to fill the
sky with light (the full moon phase
occurs January 18) at that time the
comet will be seen setting soon af
ter sunset and as R sets its tall will
appear as shooting straight up. Af
ter the middle of the month, Comet
Cunningham will set too far South
for one to see in the morning sky.
Then those who live south of the
equator will have their turn to watch
this blazing visitor from the depths
of space. Towards the south the
brightest star in the sky will put
on a display for us.’
RETURNS FROM MIAMI
“Pete” Coleman, of the C. D. Cole
man company, was one of the forty
one Pure Oil dealers in North and
' South Carolina to receive a trip to
Miami, Florida, for reaching a cer
tain quota in sales during 1940. This
trip is given annually by the Pure
Oil company to dealers reaching this

County of Newberry]
Shows No Growth
Youmans Is President
Newberry Country Club
Complete File of Suspects Sent to
Savannah Office of Federal Dept.
Columbia, Jan. 7.—Gen. Holmes
B. Springs, state selective service
director said today immediate steps
would be taken to “crack down” on
persons intentionally violating pro
vision of the selective service act.
General Springs said U, S. Dis
trict Attorney Claude N. Sapp had
turned over to the Savannah office of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation
complete files on those suspected of
violating the act in South Carolina.
The FBI is charged with the act’s
enforcement.
"Cases where conclusive evidence
is shown that violations of the act
are due to lack of knowledge will,
in all probability, be treated with
sympathetic consideraton, ” General
Springs said. However, he added,
indictments would be sought against
those “who openly and flagrantly are
violating the law.”
"Such obstruction of the nation’s
preparedness program at this ser
ious time is shameful and should be
punished. It is not fair to those
who are now serving their year of
intensive military training to allow
‘dodgers' to take advantage of the
law. The latter deserve punishment
for their unpatriotic acts.”
General Springs also said today
the State Department of Public
Welfare bad promised selective ser
vice boards full cooperation in fur
nishing 'information “on doubtful
matters concerning dependency” in
oases where exempt or deferred
classification is claimed by a selec
tee because of dependents.
General Springs said Thomas H.
Daniel, state director of public wel
fare, had informed county welfare
directors that “this service to a nec
essary phase of the defense pro
gram” and had asked them to give
priority to information requested by
the selective service boards.
LABOR UNIONS ACCEPT POLICY
OF “NO STRIKES”
Washington, Jan. 7.—John P. Coy
ne. head of the A. F. of L.’s building
trades department, announced to
night that nineteen building trades
union officials had agreed to fix maxi
mum fees for initiations into unions
and to pursue a policy of “no strikes”
in building construction under the
defense program.
Coyne told newspapermen after
a meeting of building trades officials
that because of recent changes that
some fees were “exorbitant” the
leaders of the construction unions
had voted to establish universal max
imum fees for new workers employ
ed on defense projects.
Previously, he said, fees cuseom-
arily have been fixed by the local
unions.
In some cases, he said, the new
plan would mean the lowering of
initiation fees. The common labor
ers union, he declared, already has
fixed a maximum of $15.

Local Greeks have collected for
the Greek war fund $306.68 to date.
The goal is set at $500 and Dennis
Athanos said he was sure that
amount would be raised. He requests
that all friends of the Greeks who
are fighting so gallantly to defend
their homeland contribute to this
cause. Donations may be left the
Busy Bee cafe or the Dixie Cafe,
both on Main street. Headquarters
for South Carolina and Georgia with
offices in Augusta announce chat
$4 ,000 has been sent to national
headquarters from the two states
so far.
All of the money collected is
spent in this country fer materials
needed in Greece, and it is spent
largely for commodities needed hy

CONSUMPTION OF COTTON
SHOWS GAIN
Now York, Jan. 7.—New high con
sumption records were established
in 1940 by three of the four major
textile fibers, including cotton, wool,
and rayon the textile economics bur
eau reported today in its publication
Rayon Organon.
Domestic consumption of cotton
was estimated at 8.000,000 bales, a
gain of 8 per cent over the 1930 fi
gure. Use of raw wool (scoured' bas
is) was placed at 405,000,000 pounds,
a slight increase over the previous
record high in 1939.
Consumption of raw silk, the pub-
lioation noted, was the lowest in
twenty years “due primarily to its
replacement by rayon in many im
portant consumer products”. It
amounted to 312,867 bales, including
re-exports.
FDR’S CHUM IN HARVARD
IS WAR PRISONER
Berlin, Jan. 7.—Captain Charles
Davis Morgan, an American citizen
who was a Harvard university chum
of President Roosevelt, is in a Ger
man prison camp with little chance
of release. He was captured last June
while fighting with the British in the
Battle of Flanders.
His plight was disclosed today by
the United States embassy.
The 66-year-old attorney-soldier
is the husband of the former Louise
Warfield of Baltimore, a cousin of
the Duchess of Windsor.
Embassy sources said friends had
carried his case to the White House,
but under international law he is
considered a British soldier because
he took part in combat as such.
Morgan, a native of Plymouth,
Mass., was a fellow editor of Presi
dent Roosevelt in college days on
the Harvard Crimson.
He fought with the British in the
World war and after the war ouilt
up a lucrative law practice in Paris.
He joined the British army again in
January, 1940, was given a captain’s
commission and made liaison officer
between the British and French in
Flanders.

South Carolina’s final official cen
sus figures, announced Monday in
Washington, gave the state a popu
lation of 1,899,804, a gain of 9.3 over
the previous decade and a numerical
increase of 161,039 residents.

more) increased 25.6 as compared
with .4.8 percent in rural areas. In

FORMER PRESIDENT OF
CLEMSON DIES
Olemson, Jan. 8.—Dr. Enoch Wal

MAYBANK ORDERS SHERIFF’S
TO TAKE IN DRAFT DODGERS
Columbia, Jan. 8.—Governor Burnet
R. Maybank said today he had in
structed sheriffs throughout the state
to “determine just what men are
suspected of violating the (selective
service) law and to place them under
arrest."
The governor said the names of
approximately 300 men were on file
who were suspected of violating the
act and that he had received reports
that in some cases men were “open
ly bragging” that they had not reg
istered.
“It is my duty as governor to see
to it that the laws of the state and
nation are administered fairly and
impartially and to the benefit of all
of our citizens. I see no reason why,
if all men between the ages of 21
and 36 years are subject to the pro
visions of the selective service act,
some men should be allowed to es
cape those provisions through a fla
grant flaunting of the law . .
“The federal authorities have as
sured me that such men will be
punished quickly if found guilty and
that every bit of cooperation pos
sible can be expected.”

THE NEW YEAR NATIONAL
DEFENSE NEEDS
Getting the skilled men for Nation
al defense jobs continues to be one
of the greatest problems of the new
year for the Civil Service Commis
sion. Thousands were appointed
during 1940 but thousands more are
going to be needed during the coming
year at the arsenals and navy yards
and in the air service. Toolmakers,
instrument makers, and machinists
are especially in demand, and they
are especially necessary to the Na
tional defense program. Among
others also urgently needed are:
Aircraft instruments mechanics; air
craft mechanics; metalsmiths (avia
tion); coppersmiths; lens grinders;
lioftsmen; ordnancemen (torpedoes);
shdpfitters; and ironworkers (ship-
fitting duty). If you are skilled in
any of ttiese trades, and want a
Government job, write to or call for
information at the office of the Board
of U. S. Civil Service Examiners at
any first- or sedond-class post office.

Jeweler, Passes Here
Troy Monroe Rogers, 65, well-
known and pro.ninent merchant in
Newberry for the past 35 years, died
suddenly at his home here on Friend
street around midday Wednesday.
Though in feeble health for the past
two years his sudden death was a
shock to his family and numerous
friends. Mr. Rogers had' been at his
place of business and had gone home
for lunch when suddenly stricken
shortly after arriving home.
Mr. Rogers was the son of the late
Samuel Rogers and Mary Rogors ol
Marion county, having left there
around 40 years ago for Newberry.
About 36 years ago he opened up a
jewelry store which he operated
continuously since that time. During

the firm name was T. M. Rogers and
Son.
Mr. Rogers was a regular member
of the First Baptist church. He was
a mason and a shriner. He was seen
on the streets of the city daily and
his absence will cause profound re
gret.

FOOTBALL BANQUET SEATS

the Championship Newberry college
football team and the Newberry high
school football team are going at a
rapid pace. Tickets are on sale and
may be obtained from the Chamber
of Commerce office or members of
the committees in charge of the af
fair.
Due to the fact that the entire
squads of both teams will be present,
as well as the Newberry Mill Band
and the various sponsors of the
banquet, the number of tickets avail
able to fans throughout the com
munity will be limited. Seating
space at the Country Club of New

upwards of 200 and indications are
that the ballroom of the Club will
be packed to its capacity by enthus
iastic and grateful supporters of the
college and its champions.

DOWN MEMORY
LANE
30 YEARS AGO
We begin a new year. The year
just numbered among the tales that
are told was a sad one in many homes
in Newberry. There are many vacant
chairs and many family circles have
been broken. Many familiar faces
we will not see again on the streets.
“Bonds of friendship have been sev
ered, but all our friends are not de
parted. About us are many faithful
hearts upon whom we can lean trust
fully and by whom ye will be trust
ed.” And yet, we long for the touch
of a hand that is not and the sound
of a voice that is stilled, and if it
were not for the friendships and the
sympathies that are left, we would
not care to tarry longer.
The contract for the Oakland Cot
ton Mills has been awarded to the
Fiske-Carter company of Spartan
burg. Work on the mills will com
mence at once, and it is expected the
building will be ready for the instal
lation of the machinery by the first
of May. The Oakland mills will be
located in. the northern suburbs of the
city, which is an ideal place for such
a plant and village. Col. Walter H.
Hunt is president of the organisa
tion, and he will have the assistance
of an able directorate.' The capital
stick is $400,000, an unusually large
part of which has been subscribed lo
cally.
At a meeting Wednesday morn
ing, in the Chamber of Commerce
offices, the date for the opening
game of the Newberry Communi
ty Basketball League was post
poned to Thursday, January 23.
The date for the first game was
originally set for Friday, Janu
ary 17, but will be held a week
later instead. So far six or seven
teams have made arrangements
to play, and games will be staged
as last year, on every Thursday
night at 7 p. m. in the Newberry
college gymnasium.
