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. She told of the
exhilaring breath of “country air”
that she enjoyed while spending the
past week-end as guest of Mr. and
Mrs. T. E. Davis at Newberry. Mr.
Davis’ brother, Peter, is Miss Bank
head’s manager. He, like the actreas,
is a true southerner and manifested
great pleasure in greeting Greenville
folk on this trip.”

PRAISES LIFE OF MRS POOLE
On Tuesday aftemoop, February
25, 1941, the gentle spirit of Mrs.
Carrie Pool, wife of the late T. C.
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.

COTTON SPINDLES OF U. S. 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.

Says Work Will
Bolster Morale
Darlington, Feb. 20. — Dr. James
C. 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.”

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.
Don’t miss it!

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

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,

SELECTIVE SERVICE NEWS
Of the contingent of ten men sent
last week to Fort Jackson, two were
rejected because of physical condi
tions not acceptable ,by the Army.
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. A delightful course
luncheon was then served the follow
ing: Mesdames J. T. Mayes, C. H.
