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 W. Sanders
COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR
Chicago Daily Tribune, May 5, 1941.
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.”

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.
Mexican Bean Beetle
Dust with three-fourth of one per
cent rotenone content (derris) dust.
Apply to underside of leaves with
small duster. Another control is to
spray with five level teaspoons mag
nesium arsenate in one gallon of wa
ter, or dust with one part magnesium
arsenate and three parts hydrated
lime. Apply to under side of leaves.
Colorado Potato Beetle: Dust with
one part calcium arsenate and four
4 parts hydrated lime. Spray with 9
level teaspoons lead arsenate in one
gallon of water, or six level teaspoons
calcium arsenate in one gallon of
water. Four-four-fifty Bordeaux
mixture can be substituted for water
to check blight.
Flea beetles: Spray with 4-4-50
Bordeaux mixture with nine level
teaspoonfuls lead arsenate, or six
level teaspoonfuls calcium arsenate
to each gallon. Derris dust is also
effective.
Harlequin Cabbage Bug: Hand pick
and destroy adults. Spray young on
calm cloudy days, or before sunrise,
with a solution of three ounces white
soap flakes in one gallon of water.

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

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. ‘
