f / FRIDAY, MAY 16. 1941 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE THREE Dr. Kinard Tells Rivers Bridge Crowd Confederates’ Glory Equal to Victors’ Is America To Go To War? “In no other war in all the history of mankind has the glory of the van quished ©quailed in enduring fame, the acclaim won *by the victor,” de clared President James C. Kinard of Newberry college in addressing the Rivers Bridge Memorial association near Ehrhardt today. He pointed out that it was not slavery that was the dominant issue of the conflict, but “a fundamental clash in ideals.” He went on to show that the South felt that it must de fend to the .death the right of self- government. Mr. Kinard’s address was in es sence a eulogy of the Confederate soldier. Said he: “It is not the jus tice or the tragedy or the pathos of the Southern cause, but the heroism, the dauntless spirit, the matchless character of the men who fought for it, that immortalizes the Confeder acy.” The speaker paid a tribute also to the bravery and devotion of the soldiers in blue. We hold no rancor in our hearts. We honor the memory of the men in blue as we think today of the heroes in gray. Doctor Kinard called to mind also the sacrificial devotion of the women of the Confederacy. In his conclud ing remarks the speaker showed how the wounds of war had been healed and that the country stands today as a re-united people pledged to the perpetuation of freedom and a dem ocratic institution. More than 3,000, a record breaking crowd, attended the exercises. Dr. L .A. Hartzog presided. Invocation was by the Rev. R. W. Hollis. Music was furnished by the South Carolina university band and a group of Den mark singers, Miss Minna McLeod, state UDC president made a short address. Dr. Kinard was introduced by Col. Edgar A. Brown. Laurel wreaths ard flowers were placed on the grave where the bodies of 17 Confederate heroes rest. Taps was sounded by Carlisle buglers. Dinner was served from booths on the grounds. Mr. David T. Wertz of Washington is spending the week with hie mo ther, Mrs. Viola Wertz. Miss Pauline Summer attended the Junior-Senior dance and other dances at Clemson last week end. She and her roommate, Miss Nanalie Stokes, spent Sunday in Newberry, and left Monday for Winthrop, where they are both members of the Junior class.

Claude Pepper’s Florida seems to have gone to war on its own account. The city manager of Miami, L. L. Lee, refused to allow the America First Committee to hold « meeting in Bayfront Park, where recently the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies was given a permit and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., spoke. The members of the America First Committee then sought the use of the Cade County courthouse, where pub lic *meetings have been held. The county commissioners refused the re quest, and one of the commissioners, with the approval of the others, said that the America was a subversive organization. Another commissioner added that organizations fighting na tional policy should not be encour aged. The Florida officials can say they art only following the example of the White House in describing the op ponents of American entry into the war as treasonable. The distinguish ed Americans who head the America First Committee, men of long patri otic service, have been referred to in official Washington circles in terms which would imply that they were seditiously interfering with their country's cause in time of war. The advocates of immediate war have jumped to the assumption that the Nation is now in it and that con sequently any disagreement with gov ernmental policies is in effect trait orous. If the people generally could be brought to accept such a theory, the opprobrium attached to the oppo sition might act as a suppression of free speech in a time when freedom of opinion and expression is most needed. There is an issue before the Ameri can people, and most of them recog nize it as one of the most serious in their recent history. Mr. Roosevelt has some fixed policies, the objectives of which become clearer every day. For some of them he has the consent of Congress, for others he still lacks that. The questions are in debate in Congress and they are being discuss ed all over the country. The opposition to Mr. Roosevelt’s program of direct arthed interven tion " in the war consists of many men and women distinguished in pub lic and private life. Many of them have service records which cannot be equalled by the party supporting war. The division is not upon party lines, although a majority of the Republi cans are opposed to the Roosevelt policy when it goes beyond the Wes tern Hemisphere. No oni is opposed to the protective measures being taken for the defense of the United States. The only criti cism is of the delays and mistakes which have slowed down the prepara tions described as of such impera tive emergency. The question about which honest men can differ involves the use to be made of the national resources as they are assembled * 1 2 3 4 5 6 in the armed for ces. Patriotic men and women be lieve that the future of the country is best protected by building up de fense and staying out of the war for which the country is not prepared. There are other people who no doubt sincerely believe that this involves dangers which would be minimized by helping the British now defeat Hitler’s Nazi forces. If such people are sincere and thoughtful, they do not regard the man who sees the other side as a traitor. They must themselves at times have their doubts. We all lack an exact and error-proof vision of the future. The primary requirement in the forming of an opinion and the mak ing of decisions is that the motive be wholly one devoted to the security and well-being of the American peo ple, now and in the future. That is an obligation particularly imposed upon persons in authority. The right to debate this momentous ques tion is one of the guaranteed rights of American citizenship, and the at tempt to deny it by intimidation- and villification is one highly charged with the sort of rule which has blighted so large a part of the world. This country is not supporting the rights of freemen by trying to sup press them. TEACHERS HEAR NEWBERRY HEAD Anderson Independent. Featuring the county-wide gather ing of teachers was an address by Dr. James C. Kinard, president of New berry college and newly named chair man of the State Welfare Board of Public Welfare. Dr. Kinard brought a challenging message embodying the United States and her freedom. “Those persons who claim to be ex ercising personal liberty by speaking out against the defense efforts of this nation are doing nothing more than exercising personal license,” Dr. Ki nard told his teacher audience, “and I doubt seriously whether many of them are sincere in their pleadings ‘to put America first.’ ” Dr. Kinard was applauded when he declared that “I have said before —and I continue to say—that we should deport from our shores those aliens who are willing |o enjoy the privileges of Amlerican citizenship without being willing to accept any of the responsibilities of citizenship.” “It is the challenge of us teachers,” he concluded, “to develop young peo ple imbued with the will to work, and the will to worship—young people who know the dignity of hard work, who have the desire to make them selves useful in the community and who are willing to put God first in their lives. The British have brilliant ly proved- that the cheapest strong defense is morale.” STATE BEEKEEPERS GETTING GOOD PRICE FOR THEIR HONEY South Carolina beekeepers are mak ing “real progress” and are receiving “good prices” for their honey, State Extension Specialist E. S. Prevost an nounces. “Since beekeepers last year adopt ed a state-wide label, ‘Palmetto Ho ney,’ for their boxes and jars the sale of their product has increased in price,” he said. Prevost said the wholesale honey market in the state now was 16 cents per pound and the retail price was 20 cent®, while in Ga., and other states, where no labeling project is state wide, the market price for honey pro duced in those states “in most cases is 50 per cent under ours.” H-D COLUMN By ETHEL L. COUNTS GARDEN WORK FOR MAY Garden work for this month will consist of making successive 'plant ings, giving careful and thorough cultivation and fighting insects and diseases. Hints 1. Do not cultivate beans while foliage is wet. 2. Deeply planted' tomato plants will stand drought better. 3. Young asparagus must not be cut too closely. Fertilize and man ure bed after you stop cutting. 4. When the strawberry crop is off remove the mulch and cultivate. The first runners will give the best and strongest plants. Allow these to take root if you need more plants. 5. Your Jerusalem artichokes are coming up well now so set them out in rows in order that your may culti vate them and make an abundance to be used with your sweet peppers and pimentoes for the relishes. 6. In cultivating, care must be tak en not ito break the roots of shallow rooted vegetables. Cultivation is necessary for keeping weeds in check and to loosen the surface soil when it becomes compact.

NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETING OF NEWBERRY INSURANCE & REALTY COMPANY FULL PARITY ON STATE’S COTTON URGED Automobile LOANS 50 vo “500 MRS. J. J. HARDY NEWBERRY FARMER GIVES ADVICE ON LABOR PROBLEMS Pay Promised Wage, Provide for Sufficient Food, Mr. Boozer Says Give wage hands full employment throughout the year, pay them with out fail the promised wage and pro vide conditions for them to grow adequate food supplies, says J. P. Boozer, farmer of the Chappells comm unity, and there should be no trouble keeping plenty of labor on the farm. The fact that there has been no change of the wage families on the Boozer farm since 1918 speaks strongly for the success of the plan. Wage hands on the Boozer farm work for a monthly wage during the crop-production period, March thru July, plus a specified amount of food. During the rest of the year they work on a daily wage basis. The food production plan provides for each wage family to have a gar den and food patches. The gardens are usually planted' adjoining the cotton fields, thus insuring their cul tivation along with cotton. The patches include sweet potatoes, pea nuts, melons, etc. Each wage family, is provided 1 two to three acres of com. Besides com for food this makes possible for each to have a hog for home use, and a few chickens. Some families grow wheat on a share basis and thus (have home-grown bread. In addition to regular employment for the male members of wage fam ilies, Mr. Boozer gives employment to the women and children m the production and harvesting of crops, particularly cotton. Plenty to do, plenty to eat seems to sum up the contented condition of wage families on the Boozer farm. Mrs. Amelia K. Hardy, 83, widow of John J. Hardy died Saturday night. She was the daughter of the late Dr. Thomas B. Kenneriy, and the last surviving member of her immediate family. The following nieces and ne phews survive: Alan Johnstone, Washington, D. C.; J.

THE SUN Phone No. 1 Columbia, May 10.—The South Car olina state AAA committee recom mended today that cotton farmers be given a full parity loan of about six teen cents a pound on their 1941 cot ton crop. Meeting here today, members of the group pointed out that things cot ton farmers buy, including clothing, machinery, and about everything else needed by the farmer, had increased in price. Paul Sanders, of Colleton, chair man of'the committee, said that “in the past cotton farmers have partici pated in the AAA program more fin ly than other groups of farmers, but are istill further below parity income than any other major group of far mers,” Sanders said he and other commit teemen were convinced that a loan of only 75 per cent of parity would not assure cotton producers equitable treatment and would cause wide spread dissatisfaction in South Car olina. A full parity loan on cotton could in no way affect the national de fense program, the committee mem bers held. ‘ TAX NOTICE The tax books will be open for col lection of 1940 taxes on and after October 1, 1940.
