Every Week More People Read The Sun VOLUME 4; NO. 13 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, JANUARY 17, 1941 PUBLISHED WEEKLY OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE IT’S GOT US TOO! Evem hard-boiled newspaper peo pie are not immune to flu—.thus the size of The Sun this week. From the printer’s devil to the editor the dis ease has made its round and greatly crippled the work of some of the lo cal fourth estate contingent. But we hate to miss putting out The Sun (believing that you hate to miss reading it) and are herewith submitting the regular issue of fewer pages this week. We all hope to be over the flu and back at our respective posts next week for a bigger-and -bette r-tha n - ever herald of the news—telling of all the influenza in surrounding areas. By that time we shall be able to write of such news with a most sympathetic understanding. AN ALL-PURPOSE DOG I don't know where this thing of wonderful dogs is going to stop. I told you last week about a remark able dog owned by D. V. Kniglht, but Mr. Knight was in Saturday to tell me about a dog he had developed. For a long time he has been experi menting on crossing dogs to get the ideal dog and now he says he has finally succeeded. The crossing didn’t work out so he hit upon the idea of putting a sort of ingenious smeller arrangement on the nose of an ordinary hound. When he wants to hunt rabbits for instance he simp ly turns the button to “R” and goes ahead with his hunt. Should he de cide while out, to get a few squir rels he simply switches the button to “S” and changes the dog into a squirrel hound. Simple isn’t it! But as remarkable as that dog is, he does not compare with a certain frog Mr. Knight had back about 1910. Hard- luck hit him that, year just about the middle of his crop. His mule died. He was then living up in Laurens county and Reedy river and had noticed an unusually big bull frog on the banks of the river. Noth ing daunted and he caught the frog and finished his plowing with him. He made 10 bales of cotton that year and 150 bushels o? corn. Along late in the summer when he was plowing his cane patch near the river a big snake glided across the furrow in front of them. The frog took to the tall timbers, disappearing in the dense swamp and that was the last Mr. Knight ever saw of his faithful animal. Years later, however, and several miles down .the river he came across a newly plowed bottom. He knew the place well and knew no one was farming it that year. He inquired among the people living near and none could explain the mystery. Mr. Knight believes until this day that the plowing was done by the frog, and that the reason he did not plant the field was that he saw another snake. INFLUENZA prevalent in CITY, STATES OFFICIALS County health officials told report ers yesterday they were unable to de rive at any figure as to the number of cases of influenza in the city and county as few of the oases are offi cially reported to them. They state, however, that the dis ease is prevalent in the city, in Pros perity, and Silverstreet. Public schools in all three centers have been closed. Children are advised to stay away fiom theatres and all public gather ings of any kind, indoors or out of doors. The city schools were closed Tues day morning of this week and will not be re-opened until the spread ap pears completely checked. KENDALL MILLS LUTHERAN Rev. J. B.

Kcss Derrick Has Variety Interests Entering upon his duties in the house of representatives for the third term, J. Kess Derrick of l ittle Moun tain probably leaves behind him more business interests than any other legislator in Columbia. In fact his business connections are so large and are growing so rapidly that he can scarcely keep up with them while at home much less when away attending the legislature but it is his desire to serve and be of help to his c-ounty, that he is most interested in that beckons him to Columbia. Upon entering his duties there he repre sents the county as a legislator in having received more votes than any other candidate offering for a simi lar position in Newberry 'county. Store Trading Center His store is one of the trading centers for his sectionn where around a $100,000 business is done annually and then comes his big lumber busi ness in which the planing mill turns out around 300.000 feet of dressed lumber per week or approximaetly 15,500,000 feet annually. In addition to this he is interested in 15 saw mills in his section. Through his outstanding ability a large poultry market has been creat ed in Little Mountain which saw the Derrick company pay out over $10,- 000 to poultry raisers in this section the past year. In addition to this the poultry feed business is an en ormous one since his company sold around 40 carloads of poultry feed and supplies the past year. Mr. Der rick stated * 1 today that his firm pays out around $5,000 per month for poultry and lumber brought in to his plant, which amounts to around $60,- 000 being spend right with his home farmers each year. Mr. Derrick is ticket agent and telegraph operator at Little Mountain having held this position since 1902 when he began working for the rail road at $15 per month, seven of which was, apant foil —- Gin and Grist Mill Mr. Derrick operates a gin and grist mill. Around 1,500 bales of cot ton is ginpedi annually and many bushels of com are ground into meal. Mr. Derrick is engaged in farming to some extent having around a dozen tenants on his farms around Little Mountain. Having been bom on a farm the land has never lost a lure for him. He buvs large quan tities of fire wood, pulp wood, cedar lumber. While Mr. Derrick has been suc cessful he did not attain success by the pinch-penny route. He has giv en much, in time and means, to the unbuilding of his community and to those reduced in circumstances by crop failures. And although his losses have been heavy, he still be lieves most people are honest and they continue to enjoy credit at his store. Not onlv has Mr. Derrick helped those in his immediate section but he is much interested in the youth of the land in that he frequently sends boys and girls to school who are unable to finance themselves, he now pays the rent on the NYA girls home in Newberry and recently he purchased a home here where will he housed the NYA boys of the county. When current was needed to operate an iron lung for a young Newberry county girl who was stricken with in fantile paralysis several years ago Mr. Derrick sent the poles for the line and asked the power company to do the rest and they quickly complied. Low-Rate Terracing Mr. Derrick is impressed with the improvement in bis section of the farm homes. He finds better homes, better living conditions, better farm lands. Realizing that land must be restored to fertility Mr. Derrick in troduced a bill whereby the people of Newberry county can get their terracing done at a low rate. He is sold on proper terracing and finds that some soils have doubled 1 their yields over a three year period. Mr. Derrick saidi today that he foresaw agriculture coming back into its own. Years ago the speaker said we ord ered 500 pounds of meat per week, now we order scarcely any since it can be bought locally from the farms. Carloads of com were bre ueht in each year, now the com is produced in and around Little Mountain. He has seen farm products in his community in crease from $4,000 per annum to a,round $300,000. His firm alone handles around 125 crates of eggs per week. Mr. Derrick believes in going after the business and send out a fleet of trucks, having regular routes for same. Hardlv is there a farmer around Little Mountain who does not have a nice flock of poultry said Mr. Der rick and they are gradually building up these flocks not only in size but in (Continued on page four) Kiblcr and Lewis Speak At Education Meeting At the Newberry County Education Association meeting Thursday after noon, January 9, interesting infor mation was brought to the attention of the teachers by Miss Julia Kib- ler of the Newberry city schools. Miss Kibler is a member of the Legislative Committee of the South Carolina Edu cation Association, and’ had her facts well in hand. South Carolina spends $20,000,000 a year on highways and $24,000,000 on all other state institutions. Salar ies of stenographers and clerks in the highway department are $1,000 to $1,800; teachers in this state re ceive $600 to $720. Schools and buses transported 80,000 pupils last year; on this the State spent $300,000 and the Districts $700,000. Organized Business asks that salaries above $2,- 000 be reduced 1 10 per cent to 20 per cent. The budget commission ans wers that such a reduction would cause lowered efficiency and morale, saying that the State finds it hard enough to retain men and women of high quality in positions at the pres ent salary. What must they think about the financial condition of the teachers of South Carolina. Following the talk of Miss Kibler, Supt. R. C. Lake of the Whitmire schools presented W. W. Lewis, chairman of the board of trustees at Whitmire, who discussed in a humor ous manner the subject assigned him. Some of the things mentioned were: 1. to build the pupil so that he wrfl be best fitted to take his place as an adult; 2. We should all aim at an emergency program, and that the em ergency is not as great now as it will be later; 3. Keep standards up and at the same time use every effort to bring less fortunate and capable up to the standard; 4. In our schools we are experimenting with human lives and we must experiment very carefully. Mr. Lewis said he favored s' _ {fie chUd to school at the age of sev en and also adding the twelth grade to our high schools, Too, he said, “Financial support must come from taxation, and we must get our in creased financial support locally. It won’t be so bard if the public is con vinced that they are getting value from it.” B.

RIKARD // Flu #/ Closes Schools In City and County The Newberry CHy Schools and some of the county schools were closed the first of the week for as long as it seems necessary, as the number of absences due to Influenza showed a marked Increase. About one-third of the total en rollment of the city schools were ab sent Tuesday, the increase over Mon day’s absences enough to necessitate the closing of the schools. Prosperity school and other schools of the coun ty closed Monday. The epidemic appears to be spread ing not only in the school, but rapidly in the city, for many persons have been absent from work for the past two weeks.

PHILIPS News is very scare since the Christ mas holidays and New Year is over. The grain crop looks as well as could be expected. The people have learned to raise more food supplies for their own' need instead of going to the store for food. It is fine for people to live and make friendship. We should follow the golden rule, and do unto others as we would have them do unto us. We cannot live alone by ourselves. When you have someone to depend upon, your life al ways seems more pleasant. Look for ward always, be ready to gain friends instead of losing them. Mr. and Mrs. B. T. Wickei left Sunday for Florida and will make their home in Jacksonville.

Preachers Unite On Sermon Subjects There has been a growing desire among the ministers to unite in a county - wide preaching mission, where-in, as one voice, we could ex press what we believe to be the mis sion, duty and privilege of our churches in dealing with the moral and spiritual issues of our people. In the name of the Head of the Church and all His devout followers, we shall attempt to do so to the best of our ability. Ours is not a gospel of the law to say, “Thou shalt or shalt not”, but one of grace, love and truth. We arc committed to the Biblical statement, “The truth will make you free.” That is more than law can ever do Many of us, therefore, are resolved to address ourselves to the solemn task of proclaiming that truth to our congregations as wc believe it is re lated to some of our present-day issues. For doing so, we may be less popular preachers, but we’ll not be guilty of the sin of silence. When our Lord was faced with the choice of silence or the cross, He chose the latter. Our concern is with our Christ; your Christ; the Founder of our Church. He was crucified once. Ac cording to His own statement, once is enough. One will be justified in his concern when he sees professing church members, and professing Christians, bearing His name, setting the pace of their lives at an un christian tempo. We are disturbed when we observe such striking sim ilarity between professing Christians and non-professing Christians. We believe Christ is dishonored when general intemperence and popular gambling is winked at, both by the law and church people. We believe that wilful descecration of the Sab bath is daring God to invoke His Wrath against us and our children. We are gravely concerned with the saving of our home-life. We are ex ceedingly jfealorus for’our young peo ple and children, that they may be saved for the future Church. We are convinced that if church members and church officers would fulfil their vows to God, once taken sacredly, the spiritual and moral life of our com munities would be quickened. We can not be persuaded to remain comfort able before the eloquence of vacant pews which testify of broken vows and apostate members. Christ's warn ing to those who would crucify Him afresh should be enough. Our churches and we ministers may indeed be as some would think, brok en reeds and smoking flax, yet it verily seemed good unto Him that we traffiic in the “dynamite of God.” That is about as much as God has offered any generation. If the love and grace of God, and the shed blood of Christ are not enough, we’re done! If Christianity matters at all, It Is all that matters. We commend to the reading public Roger William Riis’ article, “Now, I am For the Churches” in tlie Jan uary, 1941 issue of the Reader’s Di gest. Schedule Announced Upon the request of the Newberry County Ministerial Association, a special committee prepared the fol lowing suggested preaching outline for the next six Sundays, or as sche dules may require: January 19 th — “First Things First”. Dealing with the Gods we worship; the gods that get our devo tion, time, money, children, talents, etc. January ?6th—“Our Unruly Mem bers”. Dealing with sins of the tongue; gossip, profanity, Adultry, etc. February 2nd—'“Sunday'—A Holy Day or Holiday?” Dealing with Sun day recreations, profane visiting, week-ending, feasting, family reun ions, Sunday company, and Sunday sickness (Morbus Sabbatticus), etc. February 9th—“Save the Home!” The family altar, intemperance, fam ily unity, discipline, Bible teaching, family church-attendance, etc. February 16th—“How We Steal”. Dealing with present-day gambling, debt-paying, robbing God of His tithes. His day, stealing His name and then profaning K, stealing the birthright of children and young people, talents, etc. February 23rd—“Who is a Murd erer?” Dealing with intemperance suicide, murder by automobile and drink; crucifying Christ afresh, etc. These topics are directly based on the Ten Commandments. Many of our ministers will find it necessary perhaps to adjust this schedule to their varied preaching, programs. The churches invite you to their services. Try to attend and take someone with you. Th« Sun Strives To Servo The Whole People $1.00 PER YEAR DOWN MEMORY . LANE 30 YEARS AGO We hope city council will-soon give sK>me attention to the crossings at the union depot- During the recent rains the Johnstone street crossing wa.s almost impassable, and the Friend street crossing was about as bad. The Main street crossing was very little better. People coming in to Newberry will get a very bad op inion of the town before they get away from the depot, with the cross ings as they are, not to mention the fact that something is due to the people who live here, and most of whom have to use these crossings frequently. We believe if the legislature would make the necessary appropriations, keeping them as low as possible con sistent with running the State on a business-like basis; pass a compul sory education law, pass a marriage license law, pass laws providing per manent roads in as many of the counties as will take such a law, hold the elections and then adjourn—these things, of course in addition to the inaururation—that the State would greatly benefit by the session. The deadlock in Newberry as to the chief of police election is still on. Some of the rural carriers say there is sure need of good roads. In some places the roads need rounding up so that the water can run off the way instead of standing in ponds and puddles. Several roads are mere ly ditches to keep water out "of the fields. A drove of ten home-raised hogs was brought to this market Wednes day l>y Mr. R. C,. Ned, the begs ranging in weight anywhere from 150 to 300 pounds. Mr. Neel had already killed for himself and hands, having the drove to sell. This is the way to succeed in making a good country. Mr. John Henry Baxter yesterday morning received a message inform ing him of the death of his grand father, Mr. H. E. Baxter, which oc curred Sunday afternoon at 2 O'clock at Cherryville, N. C., after six days’ illness, pneumonia having developed since the attack of apoplexv. The burial took place yesterday afternoon. He was 88 years old. His son, Mr. P. F. Baxter, was with him during his illness. BOYS SCOUTS’ MARKER HONORS CLAUDE SENN, JR. Troop No. 6 Boy Scouts of America, here erected today a marker at the grave of Claude Serm, Jr., honoring him for his fine scouting spirit as a member of the troop. The boy, with other members of the troop, visited President Roosevelt sometime ago, and he became ill after their return. He prized highly a let ter from the president last fall wish- him a speedy recovery.
