VOLUME 4; NO. 26 OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE JACKSON’S NICKNAME Anderson Daily Mail. Know how Old Hickory got his name? The story is said to have come for Oapt. William Allen, a near neighbor of the general, and who messed with him during the Creek war. During the campaign, the soldiers were moving rapiidly to surprise the Indians, and were with out tents. A cold March rain came on, mingled with sleet, which lasted for several days. General Jackson got a severe cold, but did not com plain as he tried to sleep in a muddy bottom among his half-frozen sol diers. Captain Allen and his brother, John, cut down a stout hickory tree, peeled off the bark and made a cov ering for the general, who was with difficulty persuaded to crawl into it. The next morning a drunken citizen entered the camp and seeing the tent, kicked it over. As Jackson crawled from the ruins tbhe toper cried: “Hello, Old Hickory! Come out of your bark and jine us in a drink.” NOW ITS DIFFERENT! About six years ago a small group of Newberry’s citizens, wearing over shoes and galoshers, made their way across a boggy pastureland and stak ed off a place where they thought a swimming pool would be nice . . . Six years later, that place has be come the prettiest spot in Newber ry .. . In describing the Margaret Hunter Park, 'Mrs. Mamie Summer says it just brings you a little closer to heaven. When you drive by the swimming pool and park, walk thru it, you will agree with her—for cer tainly the park is the beauty spot of Newberry. With the exceptions of the famous gardens in the lower state, to which much is given each year for upkeep, Newbery’s Margaret Hunter Park will stand above any other city park in the state. The park will be at the very height of it’s beauty be tween now and Sunday, and every Newberrian should ride by to see it. Much work has been done by civic minded citizens, led by Mrs. Summer, to make this park so love ly, and you just can’t appreciate it as much unless you go to see it for yourself. Words just can’t begin to • describe it’s gloriousness. Covering the lightposts, with Jap anese lanterns just showing, are masses of wisteria blossoms, and these encircle the park. All thru the park wisteria vines are running thru the trees and overhanging the paths. Besides this lovely purple flower, the park is ablaze with nearly any color you could mention. Judas trees galore, japonica, jessamine and forsythia, white iris blooming along the edges of the brook and bridges, pines, weeping willows, pink and white dogwood—all massed together to form one of the most beautiful garden spots to be seen anywhere. Some who have travelled to Orange burg to see the gardens claim that Newberry’s park is much prettier— the only thing we don’t have that Orangeburg does is Azaleas, and Orangeburg doesn’t have so very many of those. It may be a nice idea to go to Sum- • merville, Orangeburg, and Charles ton to see the famous gardens, but why not adopt a slogan to “See Newberry First?” A more ideal place for barbecues, weiner roasts, picnics, or any kind of outdoor entertainment oould not be found than the Margaret Hunter Park. Go see it yourself—tell others about it. Advertise Newberry! ST. PHILIPS We were proud to see what a beau tiful Easter we had, one like which we hadn’t seen in many years. I guess every one had a grand time, awd if they didn’t, it wasn’t the weather’s fault. On Sunday afternoon there wasn’t any preaching. They had an Easter pageant instead which was given by the Sunday school classes. It was very good. It was followed by a talk by our pastor. Rev. Em mett Roof. The weather man stated that this was the prettiest Easter we have had in ten years. The farmers are now very busy planting com. They are making use of this beautiful weather for they were delayed for some time.

Committee Favors More For Negroes Columbia, April 15.—A special commitee charged with a survey of the state’s education statutes told the general assembly today that, in its opinion, the salaries of the “bet ter” negro school teachers should be higher and that negro school terms should be longer. The committee’s report said a study of salaries paid White and negro teachers showed that “there are inequalities in the expenditure of funds for education in this state. The nature and extent of this dis crimination is more difficult to as certain. “Since the 14th amendment (to the United States constitution) is binding on the counties and school districts, we have considered their expenditures as well as those of the state itself.” Although the committee said that its opinion was “the average white teacher in this state is a better teacher than the average negro teacher . . . there are, however, among the negro teachers, many who deserve salary increases, jn or der to bring them to the level of the white teacher of equal value. Committee members were E. R. Crow, president of the South Caro lina Education association; State Superintendent of Education James H. Hope; D. W. Robinson, Columbia attorney; Chairman W. B. Harvey of the senate education committee; and Chairman John H. Porter of the house education committee. INVITED TO VISIT TULIP GARDENS Rev. and Mrs. B. S.

Favors Death For Subversive Acts Columbia, April 16.—Death for persons engaged in un-American activities was advocated today by Circuit Judge M. M. Mann in Rich land county general sessions court after the grand jury called upon law enforcement officers to inves tigate “un-American or subversive activities.” Mann said the grand jury recom mendation “concerns our peace and security.” He declared that “ele ments unfriendly to our government are in our midst as well as every important center in America.” The wave of strikes was “not ac cidental,” Mann said, but “the re sult of well-planned sabotage by people who are enjoying the free dom of this country.” He said that these persons “are not confining their devilment to factories where war material is being made but are engaged in poisoning the minds of a large element of the people by ex citing and inflaming race, clash and religious prejudice. “Some pretend to be engaged in defending the under - privileged. They are liars and traitors and de serve to be filled with lead 1 .” He expressed hope that persons engaged in un-American activities would soon be handled by military instead of civil authorities. “Shoot them down and get them out of our midst,” he said in a raised voice. “The government has been too tol erant with the strikers. Unless swift movement is made from now on, our factories, homes and lives are to be swept out.” Mann added that he heard there were people in Columbia who would not salute the American flag and that “persons who won’t salute the flag should be made to wear a shroud.” ■ — NEWBERRY ^COLLEGE HONOR LIST FOR SECOND TERM Seniors: Bokesch, Elmer Richard, Bootle, Zula Mildred, Croxton, Rich ard Rodney, Henderson, Frances Carolyn, Kimmel, Lloyd Henry, Park, Conrad Ballentine, Reiser.

Mass Meeting To Form Guard Unit A public meeting will be he : d at tne county cobrt house at eight o’clock Monday evening toward for mation of a home defense unit for the county. This action is being taken under direction of the adju tant general’s office. A meeting was held last Monday at the office of the Chamber of Com merce at which time Chalmers Brown, Ned Purcell, Jake Wise, C. C. Hutto, Clifford Smith, Major Crawford, Dent Bedenbaugh and Ted W. Bre mer were present. Mr. Brown ex plained plans for the organization of the unit and was decided at this meeting to call citizens together Monday. WEDNESDAY CLOSING HERE All Newberry merchants are invit ed to a meeting to be held at 10:U0 a. m. Monday, April 21. The meeting will be held in the chamber of com merce offices and has been called by the Merchants committee for the pur pose of a final discussion on the ques tion of Wednesday closing for this summer. For many years, Newberry mer- ct^mts have closed their doors at noon Wednesday during the summer months. Last year the same policy was followed. However, at a mass meeting of merchants it was unani mously agreed last year that the practice would go into effect ^ach summer in the future without fur. ther meeting or discussion. The Mer chants committee of the chamber of commerce was simply instructed by Merchants committee to make the announcement each year, that the closing would begin the first Wednes day in June. The committee felt, however, that this year being the first, after the above discussion, it would be well to have the merchants of the town to again approve the pro cedure. The meeting Monday will result in a final discussion on Wednesday closing for this summer and future summers. These meetings in the past have never been attended by all interested merchants. The commit tee, therefore, urgently requests every merchant in Newberry to attend this meeting, to settle a matter which is of such vital importance to all local business houses. “WESTERN UNION” PLAYING AT iRITZ THEATRE Latest best-seller brought thrill- ingly to life on the screen by 20th Century-Fox is Zane Grey’s “West ern Union”, technicolor production, which is showing today and tomor row, April 17 and 18 at the fiitz theater.

BEST DEFENSE CALLS 4-H BOYS AND GIRLS Clemson, April 14.—Healthy bodies and happy homes are our best nat ional defense, and 4-H boys and girls can help greatly in this ‘total defense’ says Dan Lewis, state boys’ club agent, a suggestion in which Mrs. Harriet Johnson, state girls’ club agent, joins heartily. And fortunately, these club lead ers say, 4-H boys and girls can rend er this help right at home and right now. Fortunately, also, this help in home and national defense is right in lane with the present movement for better farm living and diversified farming. How to help? That’s not difficult, the agents say, for national defense and home defense are one. First, find out your home needs. Second, select a project to meet those needs. Third, join a 4-H club. Fourth, be fit phy sically . and otherwise to do your best. Good typical 4-H club projects for home and national defense are: Grow a home garden. Can for home needs. Manage the farm poultry. Raise better livestock. Grow feed needs at home. Raise cash crops. Repair farm buildings. Make home conveniences. Make your own garments. Beautify the home grounds. $1.00 PER YEAR DOWN MEMORY LANE 30 YEARS AGO The S. C. Bankers association will hold its annual convention at Sum merville next Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
