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.
BRIDGE PARTY AT CLUB
There will be a bridge party for
the ladies of the Country Club at the

Disastrous Fire In

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.

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.” ■ —

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.

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.
