FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1941 OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE STILL SOME GOOD There is an awfully lot of good done in this old world today that goes unheralded and unsung. Such is shown by the following incident re lated to us by an occupant of a pub lic bus a few days ,a<?o. The bu* had pulled into the terminal and «£ter the travelers had mounted a Negro man stood at the doorway waiting for the driver who had gone into the station for a few minutes. Upon going back to his bus the driver was ap proached by the Negro who held out a one dollar bill in his .right hand. “Cap’n, I gotta go to Anderson, My wife’s sick. I just had a special ’livery and I gotta go right away. This is the .onlest money I’se got.” After a good-humored grunt the driv er said, “Well, go on and get on the bus. I’ll pay ,the rest out of my pocket.” BANKHEAD LIKES NEWBERRY The following is from an article about Talula Bankhead from the Greenville News: “Stately and commanding, on the stage, Miss Bankhead is a friendly, charming woman behind the scenes, with a sincere interest in the people and tilings about her.

Pool, winged its flight from earth into the glory and blessedness of the re deemed. At the time of her death, Mrs. Pool had been actively engaged in the service of the FMrst Baptist church of Newberry for a greater number of years than any other liv ing member. Her doors were ever open to the ministers of God, to the members of her church, to the com munity, to all who wanted and need ed a friend. She was ever ready, willing beyond her strength, to aid in'any worthy cause. Hers was a life of rare beauty and devotion to her Lord and Master. She had many sweet and thought ful ways of remembering her friends. None were overlooked or forgotten by her. “Miss Carrie” had lived in the present andl had adjusted herself so calmly to all the changes as they came, that we could not realize the end was so near. She had lived so gloriously, so far above the petty things that the flowers which she lov ed so dearly and shared so generously with others, were truly typical of her beautiful life. Her passing seems to have left an afterglow of radiance and beauty everywhere. We shall miss her sorely, but realize we were peculiarly fortunate in having her with us for so many years, and are thankful for the wonderful heritage she has left us. Her deep abiding faith, her courage, her fortitude have set a high mark for us. Such a friend as “Miss Carrie” gives us a new rea lization of the true values in life and points us to higher nobler things. To her children, goes the loving sympathy of hundreds of friends but we know their sorrow will be ever mingled with joy as they think of the glory of her transition, and the bless ed reunion beyond the sky. “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors: and their works do fol low them.” A Friend. SPECIAL LETEN SERVICE The Rev. E. B. Keisler, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, an nounces that a definite part of his congregation's observance of Lent will be a twenty minute organ pro gram of Lenten music to be present ed in the church each Friday after noon at 5:30 by Miss Ruth Wingard, church organist and Parish Secretary. Mr. Keisler states that a most cor dial invitation is extended not only to the members of his congregation but also to the public generally.

HUM WITH CAPACITY ORDERS Mills Sell Production for Months Ahead, Federal Service Reports Washington, Feb. 25.—Cotton spin dles throughout the nation operated at 112 per cent of capacity during January (80-hour week basis), the agricultural marketing service re ported today. The figure compared with 105 per cent in December and 103 in January, 1940. Most mills now have their pro duction sold ahead for several months and mill stocks of cotton textiles are comparatively small, it was said. Plants appear to be having more dif ficulty making wanted deliveries than in getting new orders. Exports Unfavorable The unfavorable cotton export sit uation oontinaes to contrast Sharply with the very favorable domestic de mand situation, however, exports for last week being at the low for the current season to date. Finished goods are in active de mand and difficulties in getting de liveries have been indicated for sev eral kinds of goods. Prices wre generally strong last week and high er prices were reported on some im portant household articles. Orders for cotton textiles for defense pur poses continued substantial and con sumer buying was again large. Cotton prices advanced last week. Spot cotton market activity decreas ed seasonally but reported sales were well above those in the correspond ing week a year ago. Some cotton is going into the Government loan but reported repayments have ex ceeded the volume reported pledged during recent weeks. Market Is Higher The 10-market average of 10.15 cents for the middling 15-16 on Feb ruary 21 and 9 points higher than on Friday, February 14, and compared with 10.92 cents a year earlier. Prices for old crop futures contracts in New York were up 9 points and prices for October and December 1941 contracts were up 18 to 19 points. Sales of 111,000 bales were report ed in the 10 markets compared with 115,000 in the previous week and 89,- 000 bales a year ago. Inquiries from domestic mills were fairly numerous and included^ deferred shipments for spring and summer deliveries. Demand was mostly for low midd ling and better and 13-16 to 1 1-16 inches, inclusive, which qualities are becoming increasingly scarce in far mers offering. Inquiries for colored cotton were few. Cotton reported pledged on gov ernment loans from the 1940 crop totaled about 3,005,000 bales through February 17 and reported repay ments were about 184,000 bales, leav ing a net total of 2,821,000 bales of 1941 cotton in loan stocks against about 2,865,000 a week earlier. Total loan stocks are now about 11,000,000 bales. LARGE NUMBER VETERANS REGISTERED ON SATURDAY Results of the World War veterans’ registration in Newberry county on last Saturday were gratifying, states Jake R. Wise, county registration chairman.

Kinard, president of Newberry col lege, was the guest speaker before a meeting of the Darlington county education association here this after noon in St. John’s high school audit orium. Dr. Kinard said, “a great upheav al lies ahead of us. There are things that will happen to you and me that will change modes of living. I am not concerned about the invasion of this country, but am afraid that the mor ale of this country can be broken just as in France.” He said that since the World war there had developed a philosophy of easy living and that real honest to goodness hard work was today just as rare as unpopular. The Newberry college official said, “we are taking the easy way. What we need today is not so much re search as study. Put into the hearts of boys and girls the spirit to work that shall glorify the dignity, of hon est toil, and it will make a citizen that will be a glory to his state and an honor to God. Teach boys and girls to cultivate a reverent heart, a will to worship. The only people in the world today who enjoy any kind of freedom are those who recog nize God.” ARRESTS MADE LAST WEEK The following are arrests piade last week by the Sheriff’s office in New berry: On Saturday night, February 15, Deputy H.

KAY KYSER IN “YOU’LL FIND our* Kay Kyser’s new film, “You’ll Find Out” is delightful and different, be ing a blood-curdling mystery yam with tune-tingling accompaniment. The suddersome portions are prov- ived by those thorough-going villians, Peter Lorre, Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi, who are seen as three diabo lical individuals engaged in the repre hensible task of trying to murder a charming young lady so they can make a lot of money. Against this sinister scheme and its appropriate background of a gloomy old mansion stuffed with savage tro phies and trick passageways, is laid the tuneful story of Kay Kyser, a syncopating slueth who comes to the mansion with his band to play for the herione’s birthday party and winds up unravelling the fiendish machinations of the three bad men. Besides Kay and the three horror men, the cast includes Giny Simms. Harry Babbitt, Ish Kabibble and Sully Mason of the Kyser baand, Helen Par rish, Dennis O’Keefe and Alma Kru ger. “I’d Know You Anywhere” and “You’ve Got Me This Way” are two of the six bit songs from the picture.

PUBLISHED WEEKLY $1.00 PER YEAR Football Banquet Largely Attended The house was packed to overflow last night as fans and supporters of football in “The City of Friendly Folk” gathered to do honor to the gridiron warriors of Newberry col lege and Newberry high school. Automobiles crowding the grounds of the Country Club of Newberry, four or five rows deep, were not only those of local fans, but also those of a number of friends from other parts of the state. The Hon. Sol Bl&tt, of Barnwell, speaker of the S. C. House of Representatives, was the main speaker of the evening. Rex Enright .football coach from the University of South Carolina was on hand with an interesting football movie. Ted Pet- osky. assistant football coach at the University, and also in charge of their baseball team, accompanied Mr. En right. Abe Fennell, sports editor for The State, and widely known as a popular official in football games throughout this section, was on kand and was accompanied by an official photographer from The State. Sev eral other Columbians, some of them former football players under New berry’s coach Billy Laval, also show ed their loyalty to their Alma Mater by coming to take part in the tri umphant festivities. The sparkling wit and humor of Toastmaster 1 _de Epting reflected it self in the lively talks and general cooperation of all those on the pro gram, and the entire meeting pro gressed with more action and variety than has been ,seen in local meetings of this type in many a day. Brief talks, spicy and appropriate, were made by Newberry’s Mayor J. W. Earhardt, Sr., Newberry College President Dr. James C. Kinard, City School Superintendent O. B. Cannon, Newberry College Coach Billy Laval, High School Coach Harry Hedgepath, South Carolina University Coach Rex Enright, South Carolina University Coach Ted Petosky, “State” Sports Editor Abe Fennell, Assistant High School Coach Carl Setzler, and As sistant College Coach Hubert Setzler. The Hem. Sol Bkrtt held the ban queters enrapt .with a most invpres- s : "e discussion of the merits of foot ball.

Sent back home on Saturday, Febru ary 22, were John Robert Boyter of Whitmire and Lewis Jones Vaugh, Jr., .also of Whitmire. Both were registrants on Local Board No. 58. Boyter was a volunteer. The next group of men to leave Newberry will be coloreds. The boards have received calls for four men on Tuesday, March 4. One will go from Board 58—David Grey. Grey is a vclunteer as well as the three that go from Board 59—Willie Bonnie Sligh, Jake Jones, and William C. Harmon. Very favorable reports of army life must be coming back home as the past several days have found a num ber of registrants, both white and colored, in the Selective Service office in the Exchange bank building vol unteering their services. All calls for colored men so far have been filled with volunteers. Each group of white men that has .gone down included vol unteers. Because of the recent large number of volunteers future calls for whites and coloreds will find the .vol unteer on the list. A colored registrant visiting Lo- cal Board 59 the other days was try ing a new means of deferment. Al though he has a low order number he isn’t ready for the Army yet and he suggested that all his records be transferred to Newberry. He figured by dong thus he would get a new or der number and perchance it might be a little higher than the former one. He couldn’t understand when the clerk said no and tried to explain to him that his number could never be changed. The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940 provides in its rules and regulation that a registrant or em ployer who anticipates claiming oc cupational deferment must signify such intentions at the same time the questionnaire is filled out. Both the questionnaire and claims for defer ment because of occupation must he filed with the Local Board within five days after receiving the questionnaire. Such deferment claim should be made on Form 42—available at the Local Board offices in the Exchange bank building. DOWN MEMORY LANE 30 YEARS AGO Columbia, Feb. 20.—The veto, of Governor Blease did not end with the appropriation bill. Today he plac ed the seal of disapproval upon sev eral acts of the general assembly, in cluding the commission form of gov ernment especially affecting Charles ton. To the people of the State at large, the most important veto of the governor today was that to the reso lution providing for the distribution of the dispensary fund of nearly $400,000, two-thirds of which was to be distributed this year among the common schools, a part to the high schools and a part for the building fund of schools. The grade schools of the city ob served Washington’s birthday in a fit ting manner on Wednesday night. The opera house was beautifully decorat ed in red. white and' blue. The stu- ednt chorus of one hundred children rendered the national airs in a beau tiful manner. The quarteitte also came up to the full expectation of the audience. Miss Mabel William son’s solo was greatly enjoyed and brought forth hearty applause. The speakers for the occasion wer* Dr. Harms and Dr. Cromer. As usual they delighted the audience, and al though they had old subjects, held the interest of the audience from the very first. The audience was also in good spirits, and was generous with applause, and this was inspiring to the children and to the speakers. The whole occasion was patriotic and in spiring. The space in front of Dr. C. D. Week’s residence at the lefthind foot of the new court house lot is being fixed for a beauty spot of the city. • This has been a delicious climate for the past two months. The farm ers are busy and now the city peo ple ought' to get busy and get' to gether and make this town inviting to the country people and lovely for the town people. We have everything to make us happy. Happiness is from within. As a man thinketh, so is he. Think right and you will be right, and then you will do right. Mrs. J. Henry Harms had the pleasure of entertaining the Fort nightly club Wednesday morning, and made it a moat pleasant meeting for members and guests. Mrs. P. E. Scott read from Stoddard’s lectures, as the guests sewed, and then all en tered most spiritedly into discussions of current events.
