Every Week More People Read The Sun The Sun Strives To Serve The Whole People VOLUME 4; NO. 20 The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1941 PUBLISHED WEEKLY $1.00 PER YEAR OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE MR. HARE EXCITED Our congressman, Mr. Hare, seems to be getting a little jittery. He made a speech on the lease-lend bill a few weeks back which to us shows he should come back to the district for a visit and get his feet on the ground. His faith in the resource fulness of this great nation needs a little refurbishing. Lets see if his speech (mailed broadcast over the district) will hold! water. Here is an extract: “Shortly after Mr. Hitler obtained control of Germany in 1933 . . . He was not long in reaching the con clusion that he could take advantage of the weakemed military strength of other nations in Europe following the peace and disarmament agreements previously entered into and could not only obtain complete control of Eu rope, but with the increased strength and military power obtained as a res ult thereof, coupled with his increas ing strength in South America, he could take possession of the entire Western hemisphere.” Just what does the Judge mean by “weakened military strength of oth er nations.” Whan Hitler came to power Germany had no army, no navy and no air force. On the other hand both the English and the French had all three. He knows if he knows any thing that England or France, ' or either of them could have kept Ger many from rearming in the years immediately following 1933. He knows or should know that it was greed and dog-fighting between these two “great Democracies” that permitted Hitler bo rearm. Are we to pay in blood and money for the stupidity and greed of the English and French? And listen to this! If the Judge was not talking thru his hat here it was only because he had 1 on no hat: “For the past six months,” he says, “the conflict between Germany and Britain has been raging, it hav ing become definite, clear, and cer tain in the meantime, by the actions and representations of Hitler, ohait if he succeeds in capturing Britian there will, be NOTHING TO PRE VENT HIM (caps ours) from taking charge of South America and the Western hemisphere, including, course, the ENTIRE UNITED STATES." (again caps ours.) NOTHING to prevent him? What will our great navy (the finest in the world) be doing while the weakened Draft Board Calls Twelve Negroes / Selective Service officials here have received call number four to furnish men for the U. S. Army. Making up the call will be twelve resigtrants from this county—all coloreds. Fro mLocal Board number 58 will be the following men with a listing of order numbes and addresses: 7, Wil lie Presley Gary, route two, Prosper ity; 8, John Suber, Whitmire; 32, Moses Jackson, Newberry; 37 Willie Morris Burton, route four, Newber ry; 68, Murry Dewalt, route two, Prosperity; 499, volunteer, Woodrow Irland, Whitmire; volunteer, William Toland, Kinards. From Local Board number 58 wui be the following: 6, Marcellar Wilson Glenn, route one, Silverstreet; 10, Johnson Goggans, route one, Kinards; 17, William Furman Bookman, route three, Prosperity; 26 Wade Summers, route one, Kinards; 39, Olin Penny, route three, Newberry. These twelve will report to Fort Jackson at Columbia on Wednesday March 19. ced (and I agree) that we need lead ers as never before in our history. And not only do we need leaders thinks Kess but we need WORKERS (and I agree); and to this roll we’ll add Jim Kinard, and summing up we find as members of the club to do something about the country going to hell: jim kinard kess derrick your correspondent. Kess thinks Tom Pope has the qual ities of the leader we are looking for (and I agree), given about four more years of seasoning. Our leader must be one who not only has the ability but who has the character to cut thru the maze of rot surrounding is and let the chips fall where they may. We’ve seen Tom come thru ip local affairs. We believe he is the man for the State. Kess is alarmed over the state of our farms. Look about and see who are the farmers of today. They are old mem and will soon be out or the picture. The young men have left the farms for the flesh pots of the New Deal, and here indeed is woe. Shall we all move along with the of 1 current with never a restraining hand Scout Campaign March Eleventh The Newberry District of the Boy Scouts of America, Blue Ridge Coun cil, will launch its annual campaign for funds March 11. The Newberry District has played a vital part in helping the Blue Ridge Council be come one of the outstanding councils in Region Six. It has not only been an active district from a standpoint of Scouting activities and Scout leaders but has done its part in help ing to finance the Council. Two hundred and ninety-four men and boys received leadership in the character building and citizenship training program of Scouting during 1940. Seventeen per cent of the Scouts attended Camp Old Indian for one week or more during the regular summer camping period. Three Boy Scouts received the highest award obtainable in Scouting, the Eagle Badee. One hundred and ninety-six merit badges and 1 64 promotions in rank were awarded. The committee headed by B. O. Creekmore, Chairman of the District, and Albert McCaughrin, Finance Chairman, feel sure Newberry is go ing to do a good job as has been the case in the past.

W hat will our air force 1 generation. We do not believe that be doing? What will our army be doing? Why should Mr. Hitler take over South America when we have a ten *to one better chance of doing it than he? Has the Judge completely lost faith in the ability of this coun- they are exactly going to hell; they may stop at purgatory, but they are in many respects on the wrong track. We think there is something wrong with thte young folk when a powdered and scented band leader or movie try to do anything at all? Does the becomes their national hero. A Judge believe there is nothing of the m< j re healthy sign we believe would spirit of Washington and Lee and jj e f or the™ to idolize Kit Carson or Jackson left in this country? Does he think the people of this country would sit supinely by and allow a blabbering German come in and in vade their homes? And hear the Judge again: “‘We Benjamin Franklin—idolize and emu late them. We regret, too, that modem mother no longer gathers her little brood to gether for nightly prayers and wise counsel. She’s off to a show or a could go further and show... that Ja-1 game while her little brats pan, Italy and Germany, have agreed! shake their hoofs to suggestive tunes to combine their forces and proceed as one against this country following the expected downfall of Great Bri tain.” '• I Japan and Italy! Ye gods and sab er rattlers! Japan has been fighting the almost completely unarmed Chinks for four years and haven’t done anything with them yet. And Italy? We refer the Judge to North ern Africa, or Albania! The Judge would have us believe that Mr. Hitler would leave a discon tented and explosive Europe, cross thousands of miles of water and wage war agairet us. The Judge is a good Historian and he should know that if Hitler were to conquer Britain to morrow that it would take him 50 years to bring about a condition that would enable him to turn westward on a military mission. In fact he would not dare ever to leave that discontented mass of humanity over there to make war elsewhere. I am afraid the Judge has been un duly influenced by such men as Jim Byrnes, Claude Pepper and “Dear Al- ben” L He needs to get his history book and read again about the But lers, the Garys and other old “war bosses” of his own district. Does he think they would have been scared out of their wits by a Hitler? WEEPING WITH KESS I go down to the Mountain every now and again to weep on the should er of my kindred spirit Kess Derrick. We are both convinced the country is going to hell and find much in com mon to mourn over. Kess is oonvin- of a radio orchestra. Well, sc long until next week. I’ve got to get another handkerchief. PRAISE FOR SUPERVISOR In a letter from a Maybinton citi zen we find the following: “We have good roads for this time of year and it is all due to Mr. Spearman having them gone over every few weeks . . . Maybinton roads have been scraped twice since 1941 and the year is still a baby yet. Also some of the ditches and bridges have been repaired. This time last winter we were exactly 22 inches deep in the mud. i “Thanks a lot to Mr. Spearman and his co-workers for our good roads. There seems to be plenty of coopera tion among them.” JOHNSTONE H. D. CLUB The Johnstone Home Demonstration club met at the sehoolhouse Monday. The meeting was called to order by the president, and Mrs. George Ab rams conducted devotionals, reading the first Psalm after which the Lord’s Prayer was prayed in unison. Miss Byrdie DeHine gave two recipes to the club members. Miss Counts be ing absent, Mrs. Ollie Sligh took charge of the meeting and discussed ideas for cleaning and fixing up a- round the homes. She also read an article on vitamins and health. Mrs. James Sligh had charge of recreation for the month. A contest was held with Mrs. Ollie Sligh, winner. Mrs. George Sports, hostess, served soft drinks, individual cakes, and apples.

Auto Tolls Tops Disasters Daily Average of Almost 100 Lives Lost in ’40; 40 Percent Laid to Speed Hartford, Conn.—No single catas trophe in the United States last year approached the daily average of al most 100 lives lost in automobiles ac cidents, according to a new booklet antitied “Here Today—” just issued by the Travelers Insurance Company. The booklet is the 11th in a series is sued annually and presents a compre hensive analysis of the facts about accidents in which 35,000 persons were killed and more than 1,300,000 others were injured in 1940. Average Day Toll Heavy Automobile accidents on an aver age day last year took twice the num ber of lives lost in the Kenvil, N. J., powder blast, three times the toll of the Georgia-South Carolina hurri cane, and four times that of the Little Falls train wreck, the report says. The number injured in traffic on an aver age day exceeded the total casautties of the six major disasters of 1940 combined. The title “Here Today—” naturally suggests that is will be “gone tomor row” for those who continue to flout Spectator Looks To Post-War Time BY SPECTATOR We may challenge the principle in some of the proposed new taxes and still express' our admiration for a serious effort to serve the state* by painstaking and patriotic officials. I regret the taxes on business, which business must pay, because these taxes are hidden, sometimes hard to pass on to the consumer, therefore a burden of additional cost, and, by so much, a discouraging bur den to business. In saying that, I feel bound to say that our legislators might have done much worse; and I gladly acknowledge their desire to avoid burdensome impositions. It seems to me that the bill to hold the appropriations to a total only $30,- 000 above the total for this current fiscal year is a triumph of the cau tious members over the free-spenders; and they well deserve qpcog.iition; but leaving out of consideration indi vidual propensities and special enthu siasms and zeals, at the expense of the State, and going to the heart of the problem, we must deplore the un sound attitude of appropriating by special favor. Out of the abundance of caution I say again that a group of men of Brother Of Harley Killed In Wreck Jack Morris Harley, 23, brother of R. Aubrey Harley of this city was in stantly killed Tuesday when a truck he was driving crashed with another on the Savannah river bridge near Savannah, Ga. A companion, L. C. Sykes, was also killed, as was a ne gro driver of the second truck. Young Harley was 23 years old. The truck Mr. Harley was driving was loaded with fertilizer and the one with which he collided was loaded with logs. Among Newberrians attending Mr. Harley’s funeral were Claude Sanders, Felax Green, C. E. Hendrix, and Tom M. Fellers. the traffic laws and the rules of safe' _ ty in 1941.

Epps in Charleston. lion workers on a twenty-four hour basis reduce their working time to eight hours—then what happens? Is any man so foolish as to think that we can keep up our spurt forever? Oh, No! True, we haven’t struck the highest note yet, and the mighty up surge may swell the income of the State, but if our institutions ana ser vices are supported on a boom basis what will happen when the bubble bursts ? I do not believe that we shall have such a deflation as virtually wrecked the South in 1920; nor do I look for the same intensity or extent of busi ness depression as came in 1932; and thereafter, because the National Gov ernment is using every means to pre vent inflation in commodity prices and it has almost frightened the stock exchange out of business. But regard less of the restraints imposed by the National Government, nothing it can do will prevent an enormous disloca tion of labor when the war clouds disappear. You may think that a long way off; well, this next budget will run uatil July 1943—and that’s a long way off, too. It seems inevit able that sometime there will he a recession of business, therefore a fall in state revenue—then what will hap pen to state institutions and services which have expanded on a war basis ? Just as fathers are sometimes pushed overboard into a sea of debt by extravagant families, because the father hasn’t the iron in his nature to resist the constant pleas for mon ey; so a State can do impraduent things because it lacks the fixity of ourpose to defeat the inroads of gold en-spenders. As I see it, with all regard for the zeal of my friends, not one dollar of new taxes or additional taxes, should be levied. The time and the occa sion call for a resolute purpose to -etrench, to reduce the appropriation bill at least a million dollars, and to refuse all hysterical petitions for ap propriations in the name of war. No one will deny that, except for the hope of getting highway money, the appropriation bills of 1939 and 1940 were badlv out of balance with the revenue. No one will deny that for purpose, of State revenue, 1939 and (Coninued on page six) Washington, March 4.—C. C. Har rington, vice president of the Commo dity Credit corporation, testified today that this agency had more than $668,- 000,000 outstanding in price-support ing crop loans and had taken over an other $617,000,000 of farm products in payment for past loans. The testimony was offered to the senate agriculture committee during consideration of a bill by Senator Bankhead, Democrat, Alabama, to in crease farm income by boosting the loan valud advanced by the govern ment on these crops. When the loan official testified that the government now had more than 11,000,000 bales of cotton piled up un-” der the loan programs, Chairman Smith, Democrat, South Carolina, in terrupted - to say “then we don’t need 1 to plant any crop this year.” Harrington testified that the gov ernment’s commodity corporation had taken title to 6,183,472 bales of loan cotton with a “book value” of $364,- 858,960 and had loans outstanding on 4,918, 422 bales valued at $238,671,- 459. Officials of the loan agency testi fied that the government corporation could take title to all loan stocks— cotrbon, corn, wheat and tobacco—at little additional cost. Senator Bank- head indicated by questions that this move might be necessary if congress approved his proposal to life farm income by placing a floor under mar ket prices through higher loans. DOWN MEMORY LANE 30 YEARS AGO Which city or town in the State will be the first to invite old soldiers for the reunion this year? That is the question the Confederate veter ans are very much interested! in, no doubt, for thus far no town has put in a bid for the visit of the veterans this year for the annual reunion. Looking over the appropriation bill today, it was seen that the sum of $1,500 has been appropriated for the use of the town inviting the soldiers to aid in the entertainment. Which will be the town to invite the ‘old boys”? Washington, Feb. 20.—The resolu tion for direct election of United States senators, which has been a topic of so great interest at the present session of congress, today was defeated by the senate, lacking four votes of the two-thirds neces sary for the passage. Fifty-four senators stood for the resolution and 23 against it. Though this division showed so large a majority of the senate to favor popular election, yet the number was not sufficient to carry the measure, which required a two- thirds vote for its success. VISITS THE PURCELLS Mrs. C. J. Purcell had as charming weekend visitors Mrs. Charles Bay- ley of Newbury, Vermont ,and her sister, Miss Morse of New York City. Mrs. Purcell’s daughter, Louise Bay- ley, was named for Mrs. Bayley. Mrs. Bayley and Miss Morse were on their way home from a trip to Florida, FRANK G. BROCK _ For the first time in the history of the State a governor vetoed! the ap propriation bill, or rather sections of it. Gov. Blease in this matter haa proved that he is a true advocate of consistency, abiding to the letter by has campaign- promises that he would endeavor to reduce the burdens of the people. For his straight out honesty, we have nothing but commendation. He has promised to do all in Wo fjow-^ - er to help the people escape the bur dens of taxation, and this he evident ly is trying to do. He furnishes a noteworthy example of a man who to the letter will carry out his prom ises. We need more of such, for when a man goes before the people of the State with a platform it has hitherto been merely means for election. In this case it appears, that his excell ency not only wanted to use hi« plat form for his election, but now is will ing, is desirous, of abiding by it. We overheard a traveling man say the other day that Newberry was about the only town of its class where the hotel porters rushed upon the tihains and yelled the hotels. He said that Henry’s voice calling the New berry hotel, he was satisfied, could be distinctly heard at Prosperity, and that its sweet cadences were as a lullaby to passengers on the Pullman Who were trying to sleep. SEEN ABOUT TOWN Funeral services for Frank Gus Brock, 74, who died Wednesday at the home of his son, George Brock, after several weeks’ illness, was held Thursday afternoon at 3:30 at the j Hunt Memorial church, with the Rev.
