OUT AMONG
THE PEOPLE ,
MORE ABOUT WORMS
D. V. Knigiht, who is without doubt
the biggest liar in town, is reminded
by the Johnston cut-worm story of
the time when cut worms cut off a
fellow’s wooden leg. So impressed
was he with this particular species
of cut worm that (he says) he got
together a couple of them and put
them to cutting wood for him in the
Piney Woods section, down near the
backwater. They work night and day
(he says) and bring him in a nice in
come. There is no upkeep on the
worms and they don’t stop for Sun-
day.
And since we are on the subject of
worms, a friend advised me in all
sincerity to stick small sticks down
beside my cabbage, close up to the
stalk and the worms wouldn’t bother
them. It seems that the worm has
to completely encircle the stalk to do
his work. I don’t know how those
worms of Knight’s get themselves
around the pine trees; maybe he can
tell us.
TRUE, HOW TRUE!
“The typographical error is a
slippery thing and sly.
You can hunt till you are dizzy, but
it somehow will get by.
Till the forms are off the press it is
strange how it still keeps.
It shrinks down into a comer and it
never stirs or peeps,
That typographical eiTor, too small
for human eyes.
Till the ink is on the paper, when it
grows to mountain size.
The boss he stares with horror, then
he grabs his hair and groans;
The copy reader drops his head upon
his hands and moans—
The remainder of the issue may be
dean as clean can be,
Burt that typographical error is the
only thing you see.”

Says Hi School Coach
Has Enviable Record
By LONNIE FRANKLIN
Brooklyn has the Dodgers, Cincin
nati has the Reds, and Newberry the
Bulldogs. The Reds were world
champions last year, the Dodgers
hope to be this year, and the Bull
Dogs ARE State champions this
year.
Newberry feels proud of the High
School baseball team, one that has
shown a batting attack seldom equal
led in high school circles, pitching
and fieldling on par with the hitting
and now these have sent Newberry to
the championship.
Coach Harry Hedgepath has an en
viable record at the high school win
ning as many or more honors than
any high coach in the state, and here
we say “Nice work, Harry.”
The members of the team from the
bat holder to the stars all worked
hard and did their part, proof of
which is if they hadn’t, they would
not have won, so to them we say,
“Great going, boys.”
It’s an easy job when a manager of
a team has the money to buy players
for weak spots, end college coaches
usually have a team that has played
ball for several years, but a high
school coach must make a team and
he doesn't know if Joe can pitch, catch
I or just sit on the bench, so he must
I fit a usual question mark into some
semblance of a team and pray that
it clicks. If it works he is a hero; if
it doesn’t, he is a bum, so there you
are.
But Harry took a bunch of boys.
They played the game and won, and
Newberry can feel proud of that
team. It isn’t bought and paid for
team, nor a bunch of older boys, but
it’s a bunch of our own kids that won
the flag.
So here’s to you, Coach Hedgepath,
and the members of the 1941 Bull
Dogs. You won because you deserved
to win and Newberry is proud of what
Newberry boys have accomplished.

S. C. LIFE TERM IS PREFERRED
TO CAMP IN GEORGIA
Columbia, May 20.—Francis M.
Pickering, 24, told Judge J. Strom
Thurmond in genera! sessions court
today that he preferred a life sen
tence in South Carolina to the prison
camp in Georgia.
Pleading guilty to two robbery
charges, Pickering said “I don’t ever
want to be free.” The Orangeburg
youth already under sentence on
seven years on a charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill, was
sentenced to six years on the two
robbery counts by Judge Thurmond.
He will be turned over to Georgia
authorities when he completes his
time in South Carolina to face hold
up and automobile theft charges.
Pickering was arrested recently In
Cross City, Fla., after violating a
temporary parole granted because of
two years of good behavior at the
penitentiary here.

“ABE LINCOLN IN ILLINOIS”
TO SHOW AT OPERA HOUSE
Local theater-goers are presented
- the opportunity of studying a portrait
rdi our most famous “martyred Presi
dent,” as he truly may have existed
in flesh and blood in the screen ver
sion of Robert E. Sherwood’s celebrat
ed Pulitizer Prize Play, “Abe Lincoln
in Illinois”, which will be shown at
the Opera House Monday and Tues-
.•day, May 26 and 27.
The story covers more than thirty
years of Lincoln’s life, from his awk
ward adolescence in the Illinois back-
woods to the fateful time when, about
to be inaugurated as President, he
leaves Springfield for the capital.
And in that span it crowds a lifetime
of gripping, absorbing entertainment
that makes it easily one of the finest
pictures ever produced anywhere, and
a picture every American should see.
Featured in the title role is Ray
mond Massey, star of the same play
on Broadway, and also Gene Lock
hart, Ruth Gordon, Mary Howard,
Dorothy Tree, Harry Stephens, Minor
Watson and Alan Baxter.
CUB SCOUT MEETING
For some time Newberry has had
a “den” of Cub scouts under the lead
ership of Mrs. D. W. A. Neville, the
appointed Den-Mother. Last Friday
afternoon about 25 boys, largely of
the Cub age of 9 to 12 met at Mrs.
Neville’s home for a meeting with the
district executive, Mr. Pittman. A mo
del monthly meeting was held with
the group, assisted by the two den
chiefs, Branan Yarborough and Gor
don Leslie, after which refresrments
were served 1 by Mrs. Neville. Also in
attendance were the Cub mothers:
Mesdames J. N. Beard, Strother Pay-
singer, C. A. Calcote, John Davis,
Fitz Rutherford, Earl Summer, For
rest Summer, and Edna Halfacre

committee consisting of J. N. Beard,
chairman, D. W. A. Neville and Hu
bert Setzler. B. M. Scurry, assist
ed by Rev. C. A. Calcote, is the Cub
Master. Other Dens are expected to

Moore To Sing With
Metropolitan Stars
The Sun has received information
that Prof. Milton Moore, teacher of
voice at Newberry College, will be
one of the soloists in a performance
of the Opera, “The Barber of Seville”,
by Rossini at Emporia, Kansas in
June. We understand that John
Brownlee, baritone of the Metropoli
tan Opera company of New York, and
other Metropolitan stars will be in the
cast. Boris Goldovosky, assistant
director of the Metropolitan, will dir
ect the performance, which is being
sponsored by the Emporia State
Teachers College. Mr. Goldovosky is
also associate director of the famous
Berkshire Music Festival in New Eng
land with Serge Koussevitzky of the
Boston Symphony Orchestra as direc
tor. We hope the performance will be
broadcast so that we may have an op
portunity to hearing Mr. Moore sing.

Thanksgiving Is Again
On Traditional Date
Washington, May 20.—The 48
states again will celebrate "Thanksgiv
ing on the traditional last Thursday
in November because in the words of
President Roosevelt, advancing the
date failed to accomplish its purpose.
The change will not occur until next
year, however, so calendar, football
schedules and sales campaigns will
not be thrown out of kilter. For 1941,
as he has done for the last two years.
Mr. Roosevelt will proclaim the next
to the last Thursday in November to
be Thanksgiving day. This will be
November 20.
When he announced in August
1939, that he was advancing the date,
the President said retailers wanted
the change because they figured busi
ness would be better if there were a
longer interval between Thanksgiving
and Christmas. Besides, he said,
Thanksgiving had not always been
celebrated on the final Thursday in
November.
A check was made on the economic
aspects o fthe situation, and Mr.
Roosevelt told his press conference
today that the commerce department
had found that a majority of retail
stores agreed that the shift had made
little difference in their sales.
RED CROSS WORK
The churches and some other organ
izations in town are co-operating with
the Red Cross by working at the Red
Cross room on special days of the
week which have been assigned to
them. For the benefit of those who
wish to help with this work through
churches or other organizations, the
assignment is as follows, the room
being open from 9:00 to 12:00 o’clock
every day except Saturday.
Monday—Any volunteers.
Tuesday—Baptists and A. R. P.'s.
Wednesday—Calvin Croziers and
Presbyterians.
Thursday—Amer. Legion Auxiliary
and Lutherans.
Friday—Methodists and Drayton
Rutherford Chapter.
Any work done at home or at the
Red Cross room on any of these days
may be put to the credit of any or
ganization you wish.
In addition to the above, the fol
lowing have taken out a large
amount of work: the Home Demon
strations clubs of Smyrna, Hartford,
Mt. Pleasant, St. Philips and Vaughn-
ville. The Mothers’ Clubs of the city
are also helping. Special mention
should be made of Prosperity, who
has taken over fifty garments to
make.
Response to Red Cross appeal is
becoming more and more encouraging,
but more and larger assignment* are
scheduled to come in. Let us all do
our bit in this worth while work. It
would be greatly appreciated if you
would offer your services to your
riiureh leader or the head of the or
ganization with which you are identi
fied.
Reunion of Singers At
Tenth Anniversary
Notices have gone out to some 300
former members of the Newberry Col
lege Singers that the traditional get-
together and reunion will be held on
Baccalaureate Sunday evening, June
first. Every year a large number of
former singers return to Newberry to
renew acquaintances and to sing some
of the compositions and hymns which
have became dear to them while they
were members of the chorus. Seme
times they have joined the Singers
in public performance and at other
times they have gathered informally
at the home of the director to sing
again.
This being the tenth year or the
organization, plans are being made
to have past and present singers pres
ent a public program as part of the
graduation exercises. A rehearsal will
be held at three o’clock on Sunday af
ternoon.
The present chorus recently com
pleted a tour of the state, singing at
rallies conducted by the South Caro
lina synod in the interest of the debt
retirement drive. This week they are
returning in full, all contributions
made for the proposed tour to Cali
fornia. $2994 in cash and dependable
pledges had been received at the time
the trip was cancelled. In addition,
numerous friends of the Singers had
promised to contribute without pled
ges for any definite amount. A large
proportion of the contributors had
also instructed the Singers to ask for
a second contribution, if needed. With
all conditions favorable for the Cali
fornia trip the Singers elected to
serve the Synod in its campaign for
funds and to give up the trip. This
magnificant spirit ha* been manifest
in the Singers during the ten years
the chorus has been in existence.

Bad Breaks Cost The
Indians Title
By LONNIE FRANKLIN
Newberry college finished second in
‘the State race and Coach Laval had a
bunch of Indians hustling all the way.
The breaks were against the In
dians because two pitched balls cost
them the championship—either could
as easily have been an out as what
they turned out to be home runs.
A game against Carolina saw a
homer win while a home run upset an
Indian lead at Clemson so two pitch
es settled the 1941 State collegiate
race.
When a team comes within two pit
ches of winning a pennant old man
hard luck is trailing them, and New
berry college had a most successful
season any way you look at it.
News note: If we can stop the fifth
Lolumnist labor racketeers we will
have gone a long way toward protect
ing America.
Also an economic war against Am
erica will cost more in years to come
than an active war against Hitler and
his gangsters will right now.
Sabotage Suspected In
Big Lumber Blaze
Darlington, May 20.—A possibility
of sabotage in the burning of the
Coxe Brothers lumber plant at Mont-
clare, near here, at midnight Sunday
was being investigated by Darlington
county officers today.
In recent months, officers said,
the plant has filled extensive army
orders from Fort Bragg, Holly Ridge,
and Jacksonville, N. C.
Curtis Byrd, Jr., youthful night
watchman of the plant, said today
that prior to the burning of the mills,
a strange man forty-five years of age,
wearing overalls, and with a slight
limp, approached him at the plant and
asked numerous questions. The stran
ger also asked when he made bis
rounds, and queried him extensively
on the activities of the plant. Another
strange man was reportedly *een
lurking on the premises, and a truck
was seen near the vicinity late Sun
day night. It drove rapidly away when
spotted.
These and many ether activities
around the plant have led officers
to conduct a rigid investigation into
the fire, which resulted in damages
to more than $600,000 with boilers,
engines, four box cars, dtv kilns,
thousands of gallons of fuel oil, and
200,000 feet of timber being destroy
ed.
Two hundred and fifty men are
out of work because of the fire.
Officers said they had few clues
on which to work, but that every in
dication pointed to sabotage.
Favors Whipping Post
For Drunks
Atlanta, May 20.—A public whip
ping post for drunks and especially
drunken husbands who beat their
wives was advocated today by Gov
ernor Eugene Talmadge.
His statement was made during a
clemency hearing for J. C. McCoy
who is under death, sentence for mur
der of bis wife. Several church
workers appealed to the grovemor
for clemency in behalf of McCoy who
they said had been converted since
conviction.
“I wish you Christian people
would help me establish whippings
posts for drunkards,” Talmadge said.
“You take them down to the court
house and dress ’em down a couple of
times and they’ll quit that drinking.”
Testimony at bis trial indicated
McCoy had been drinking when he
fatally shot his wife. Action on the
clemency appeal was postponed until
tomorrow.
Millions To Be Spent
In S. C. War Games
Chester, May 20.—Governor May-
bank steered clear of politics today
and told the Chester Rotary club that
army defense maneuvers in the Caro-
linas this fall would bring greatly in
creased spendings and thousands of
tourists.
It is possible that 550,000 soldiers
and not 400,000 as originally plann
ed, will take part in the huge simu
lated war games, he said, and the
exercises will cost $70,000,000.
He praised the manner in which
South Carolinians bad entered the
armed forces and said that of the 6,-
000 men drafted in the state as of
the end of June only ten had appeal
ed to the higher board. He said he
expected 15,000 to 18,000 men to be
drafted in the state next year.
The home defense units, the gov
ernor said, had been organized well
and by the end of the year should
have an enlistment of about 6,000.
Turning to national defense, he
said the Atlantic ocean offered small
security against the aggressor na
tions of Europe. He commented
that planes could fly from London
to New York faster today than
George Washington could have march
ed his army from Washington to
Baltimore.
ST. PHILIPS
There were two deaths in the St.
Philips section last week, one on the
13th and one on the 14th. The first
was that of Mrs. W. W. Lomiriick. She
died just two months and four days
after her husband. On the 14th Mrs.
J. C. Ruff passed away after jkmg
suffering. We trust that they nave
reached that happy shore where they
will never taste death any more.
There will be prayer meeting Sun
day night at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. M. E. Enlow at 7:30. Let us all
come and worahip the Lord.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilton Todd and Chil
dren, Bob and Mary Ann, spent Sun
day in Columbia at the airshow in
which Jim Todd, student at The Cita
del, took part.
Seeks Less Money For
Next Year WPA Work
He Lops 109 Million From Earlier
Estimate, Wants To Include
Aliens
Washington, May 20. — Lopping
$109,000,000 off preliminary relief es
timates, President Roosevelt aaked
Congress today for $886,000,000 for
the WPA in the year beginning July
1. He attributed the reduction to in
creased employment under the lend
ing program.
Appropriations for the current fis
cal year total $1,350,650,000.
The president recommended the
elimination of a present restriction
forbidding WPA payments to aliens.
He said it “works a hardship upon a
class of persons Whose private em
ployment opportunities are becoming
increasingly limited.”
Mr. Roosevelt said there were
limits beyond Which defense produc
tion could not ease the domestic un
employment situation. Jobs will
hardly increase, be declared, in the
same proportion as defense expendi
tures. For this he gave several rea
sons.
“The labor fopce will _ increase,
partly due to natural growth and
partly due to additional employment
of workers such as students who dur
ing normal times would continue to
pursue an education,” he said. “Also
many youths and workers on submar
ginal farms will obtain jobs during
the present emergency.
LEGISLATORS ACT TO BRING
SESSION TO SPEEDY CLOSE
Final Adjournment May Be This
Weed-End; Maybank Signs
Money Measures
Columbia, May 20.—With final ad
journment a definite possibility for
this week, the senate worked tonight
to get action on several statewide
measures after receiving three im
portant bills affecting the public edu
cation system.
Introduced at Hie doy 'SessRSn' by
the education committee, the bills fol
lowed up recent recommendations of
a special committee which studied
the education statutes. They would
give the state board of education
more authority, set up a certification
system for public school teachers and
appropriate $152,720 for teacher sal
ary increases.
Others To (Be Approved
Expected approval by Governor
Maybank of the $13,483,937 general
appropriation bill and the $600,000
deficiency approjiriation / bill Would
just about clear the way for sine die
adjournment by the end of the week.
The governor signed the bill to re
tire the state deficit by pledging mo
tor transportation license fees for
payment of the deficit notes over a
period of years but did not get to act
on the money bills before leaving for
a luncheon address at Chester.
The senate’s night session was set
after considerable and inconclusive
argumemt over a bill to regulate
shad fishing. A pending amendment
would permit this fishing only three,
instead four days a week, but Senator
Sawyer of Georgetown objected vig
orously to the three-day limitation
for Winyah Bay.
In the house a filibuster blocked
possible adoption of a resolution
which would direct the highway de
partment to buy the Cooper river toll
bridge for $4,400,000—a figure recom
mended by Chief Highway Commis
sioner J. S. Williamson after confer
ence with the bridge owners. Repre
sentative Wallace of York took the
floor in opposition to the resolution at
12:23 p. m. and was still talking at
2 o’clock adjournment.
Meets Racial Issue
The proposal to increase the au
thority of the board of education
would give that body power to re
view the acts of county boards and
school district trustees, direct school
expenditures, enforce all school ex
penditures, enforce all school laws,
regulate school tex'ms, “set up a sys
tem of certification of teachers and
see that there is a fair allocation of
all public school funds among the
faces, and revoke and terminate any
or all certificates which in the discre
tion of the board shall be cancelled
for the purpose of reclassification.”
To set up a teacher certification
division in the department of edu
cation, $75,000 would be appropriat
ed. The $152,720 appropriations pro
posed for salary increases would fix
a maximum $10 a month raise.
(The $152,720 figure coincided with
the amount recommended 1 by the
special committee to increase salar
ies of negro teachers holding college
degrees).
Says Governor Opposes
Wallace told the house he was in
formed by “reliable people in my
county’ ’that Governor Maybank ex
pressed opposition in a gubernatorial

DOWN MEMORY
LANE
30 REARS AGO
Governor Blease’s position in the
hosiery mill 'matter and on the peni
tentiary situation generally is being
warmly commended throughout this
and other States. It is a much more
serious crime than some of those in
the penitentiary have committed for
the State to allow its prison to get in
such a miserably unsanitary condi
tion that 60 per cent of the prison
ers therein oefafined are victims of
tuberculosis, and 1 if the hosiery mill
breeds Ihe disease it can not be shut
down too soon.
City council and the street auth
orities are to be commended for the
permanent work which is being done
in putting in concrete curbing along
the cement walks in certain sections
of the city. This is work which will
last, and it not only is a great im
provement, so far as looks are con
cerned, but it is needed projection for
the cement walks. One matter to
which council ought to give attention
is the improvement of the sidewalk
along Friend street from the depot to
Caldwell street, at least, leading dir
ectly from the depot towards the ho
tels and the business center of the
city, this is an important thorough
fare, and the first that is used by
many visitors to the city, and it aids
in forming their first impression of
Newberry. This sidewalk is now in
very bad condition. It will not be an
effective advertisement in the right
direction for Newberry during Home-
Coming and Chatauqua week.
Mr. John T. Cromer, city letter car
rier No. 1, has purchased a handsome
“4-11” Wagner motorcycle. It is one
of the latest 4-horsepower models,
French gray in color .and a 4 to 60-
mile clipper.
r.-Jr m*—• ^ _
A well-merited distinction was con
ferred upon Mr. Frank L. Bynum, of
the Newberry bar, when he was com
missioned’ by Goveror Blease yester
day to sit upon the supreme bench for
the hearing of a case in which Chief
Justice Ira B. Jones was disqualified.
The court was organized with Acting
Justice Bynum as a member and the
appeal was heard. Mr. Bynum is a
lawyer of fine talents and ability, and
would grace the supreme bend, of the
State as a regular member.
