BREEDIN FOR GOVERNOR—
NOT YET
A Bamberg correspondent of the
News and Courier suggests tre name
of J. K. (Spectator) Breedin for
governor. A very good suggestion,
but ill-timed.
Time will come in South Carolina
as it did in ’32 that the populace will
tire of the golden spenders and rise
up and slay them. Then we will need
the services of the Colonel. He
couldn’t do much now for the spend
ing spree is not over. The state will
one day avail itself of the great abi
lity of Colonel Breedin and begin its
long and painful climb back to finan
cial solvency.
WHAT THE PRESIDENT SAID
Let us hope and pray that the
president is ever mindful of these
words, spoken in Philadelphia on Oct.
23, 1940:
“To Republicans and Democrats
to every man, woman, a.nd child in
the Nation I say this—your presi
dent and your Secretary of State
are following the road to peace.
We are arming ourselves not for
any foreign war. i
“We are arming ourselves not
for any purpose of conquest or
intervention in foreign disputes.
1 repeat again that 1 istand on the
not participate in foreign wars
and we will not send our Army,
Naval, or iAir Force to fight In
foreign lands outside of the
Americas except in case of at
tack.”.
And again in Madison Square Gar
den on October 28, 1940:
“We shall continue to go for
ward in firm faith. We shall con
tinue to go forward in peace.”
And two days later at Boston i
“And while I am talking to you,
fathers and mothers, I give you
one more assurance. I have said
this before, but I shall say it
again and again. Your boys are
not going to be sent into any for
eign wars.”

Camden Folk Gracious
To British Fledglings
New Orleans, July 30.—President
Roosevelt’s price control message to
Congress today loosed an avalanche
of selling orders in cotton futures
here which broke prices more, than
$5 a bale from the top and $4.15 to
$4.75 a bale below yesterday’s close.
The trading, most extreme in years
in future contracts, was over a range
of 102 to 119 points at its widest.
The break came shortly before noon
and was halted in the final hour by
short covering and trade buying al
though the market continued wide
fluctuations and ended with net losses
for the day of 64 to 71 points, or $3.-
20 to $3.55 a bale.
The early session brought realiz
ing from satisfied traders on the long
side and new buying from others im
pressed by bullish implications in the
legislation passed by the senate
freezing 6,000,000 bales of govern
ment-owned cotton for the duration
of the war.
BANKHEAD WANTS 20-CENT
CEILING FOR COTTON
Washington, July 30. — Senator
Bankhead (D-Ala.) announced today
that when price fixing legislation
reached the senate he would offer
an amendment prohibiting the fix
ing of a maximum price on cotton
at a point lower than 20 per cent,
above parity.
The parity cotton price, he added,
was announced today at 16.49 cents
a pound, and his proposed ceiling
would be approximately 20 cents.
“A large group in Congress is op
posed to price fixing on agricultural
commodities, especially when no ef
fort is made to control the price of
industrial labor,” Bankhead said in
a statement. “A very vigorous and
determined effort will be made to
protect the farmers from having
their income reduced by an arbitrary
price fixing program.”
President Roosevelt urgeih Congress
today to pass legislation to prevent
runaway prices.

Farmers are very busy and I think
if they have a few more days of dry
weather they will get the crops clean.
There is an oldsaying that there
is more in saving than in buying. B.
C. Banks has a Studebaker wagon he
has had for 35 years and has never
had a tire shrunk on it. When it was
new he soaked the wheels in linseed
oil, then he treated the rims witn hot
tar. He paints the wagon occasional
ly and the wheels are as solid as the
day they were put on the wagon at
the factory. This is proof that if you
take care of things it gives you a
chance to accumulate more.
We are having very warm weather,
but it is likely to be cooler by the

Governor Had Trouble
Reaching A Decision
(News & Courier)
The decision by Governor Burnet
R. Maybank to run for the United
States senate came only after an en
ormous amount of wrestling with the
question; and Columbia believes
friends of the governor in Washing
ton had a great deal to do with the
ultimate decision.
Columbia would hear “positively”
one morning that Maybank would
run, and the next morning would
come word that minds had changed
and he would stay out.
On one of those affirmative morn
ings the word was so straight that a
Columbia newspaper went ahead
with a story, flatly stating the gov
ernor would enter the contest. The
next day was another of the nega
tive days and everybody was mys
tified—even those close to the gov
ernor.
But once more the word from a
meeting at the executive mansion
was that Maybank was in the race
with both feet. Then came another
trip to Washinton, the second
within a month, and only the water
melon festival at Hampton separated
the Washington conferences (includ
ing one with President Roosevelt) and
the actual announcement.
There isn’t the slightest doubt here
but that the president wants Maybank
in the senate. Of course, there is Can
didate Olin D. Johnston and the his
tory that shows Mr. Roosevelt was
for Johnston in 1938 when the then
governor was running against Sena
tor Ellison D. Smith. But as May-
bank said in his announcement last
Wednesday night, “there have been
many changes.”
The governor, in that part of his
announcement, was referring to his
statement in his inaugual address
in 1939 to the effect that he planned
to retire to private life after con
cluding his term as governor. Doubt
less the president could use the

Merchants and (business men of
Newberry have reached an agreement
concerning new opening and closing
hours, for the City of Friendly Folks.
This decision wa^ reached at a mass
meeting of the merchants held In the
Chamber of Commerce offices l?st
Tuesday. The largest group of mer
chants ever to meet at a mass meeting
in a number of yeats were present and
all were in accord'as to the advisa
bility of having a general townwide
agreement. It was decided by the
group, however, that the following
types of business should be allowed
to make their own agreement for
hours suitable to their individual
groups: drug stores, grocery stores,
garages and filling stations, and
Furniture Stores.
A preliminary Grocers meeting was
held immediately upon adjournment
of the mass meeting and the follow
ing hours for grocers were recom
mended: on weeks days open at 8:00
a. in., and close at 6:30 p. m.; Satur
day open at 8:00 a. m. and close at
9:30 p. m.
The latest report from this group
however, is that all but two grocers
have agreed to these hours and it is
hoped that a unanimous agreement
will yet be reached.
Other groups are expected to re
port their decisions to the charmber of
commerce within the next few days.

Deacon Catches Elder
Taking Preacher’s Birds
Extra! Extra! Read All About It!*
Deacon Leon Nichols was startled
into sudden action the other night by
the loud squawking of chickens in the
direction of his back yard. Grabbing
his trusty shotgun from under his
pillow and quickly swallowing a
couple or aspirin tablets he raced out
into the black night, his night shirt
flapping into the breeze like Old
Glory from the mast of a battleship.
No sooner had he hit the ground,
when: “Squawk! squawk! squawk!”
rent the still air like a siren in a
five-alarm fire. “Gosh, all Henlock”
thought the deacon, here’s trouble in
quantity.
Creeping cautiously on all-fours and
dragging his trusty gun, the deacon
neared the scene of the commotion to
find that it was not in his yard but
in that of his preacher, Rev. C. A.
Calcote.
Being a loyal .deacon he could not
retire to his covers and see his
preacher robbed, so he challenged the
intruder. “Halt! Who Goes There!
About Face!” (The deacon is a mem
ber of the home guard and decided
this a good time to get in a little ac
tual practice) “Come forward and be
recognized!”
Slowly, ever so slowly, a dark form
descended from a ladder, arms full of
chickens. The deacon’s trembling
gun might have been held by some
one with palsy. “Drop them birds or
I’ll shoot” he demanded.
The dark form reached the ground
and slowly faced the deacon. “Hi,
Deac. What brings you here.” And
then Deacon Nichols recognized Eld
er Derrill Smith with an armful of
Preacher Calcote’s crickens.
We might add that the preacher
away from home at the time, had giv
en the elder full consent to catch the
high-roosting Bantams. The preacher
just couldn’t stand the temptation of
those chickens so near, and yet so far
away.
Miss Minnie C. Gist, 81, died Sat
urday morning at the Wiseman hotel
where she had made her home for a
number of years. She was a member
of a prominent family of Union coun
ty. Intimately associated with the his
tory of So\|th Carolina her parents
were Nathanial Gist and Mary Mc
Daniel Gist.
She was born in the stately old Gist
home near Union and w#s educated
at a private school in Union and at
Columbia college. She taught for
many years in the public schools of
the state but 'gave up teaching to
keep house for her brother the late
Nathaniel Gist of Newberry after the
death of his wife. Even at her advanc
ed age she maintained her contacts
with the social and religious life of
the town. She was »valued member
of the Emory circle and a devoted
member of Aveleigh Presbyterian
church.
Throughout the 30 years residence
in Newberry she was for many years
a teacher in the Sunday school. She
was a lovely character, a well round
ed, cultured Christian woman em
bodying the finest traditions of the
well bom Southern woman of which
she was a splendid example.
She will be missed by a com
munity which knows how to value
the things she stood for.
She is survived by one sister, Mrs.
Eunice E. Fleming of Union, and the
following nieces and nephews; Miss
Mary Wilson Gee, Converse College
Spartanburg; Robert Gee, Newberry;
Dr. William Gee, University of Vir
ginia; Mrs. Gertrude Lesesne and
Reuben Gee, both of Spartanburg;
Paul Gee, New York City; Mrs. Bert
Chandler, Mayesville; Nathaniel Gist,
Columbia; Mrs. Minnie Jeter, Union;
Mrs. James Jordan, Kingsport, Tenn.
and one great nephew, Nathaniel Gist
Jr., of Columbia.
Funeral serices were held at Ave
leigh Presbyterian church Sunday
afternoon at 3 o’clock with the Rev.
C. A. Calcote in charge, assisted by
the Rev. E. D. Kerr. Interment fol
lowed in the old Girt graveyard in
Union county. Active and honorary
pallbearers were the deacons ana eld
ers respective of the church.

The U. S. Senate was in full ses

Marshall and Virginia Bruce, when
Director Al Green noticed George
Rhein, assistant director of the Op
era Houses’ thrilling new drama, or
dering the page boys to run quickly
on their errands for the senators.
“Hey!” Green called. “You were
one of Frank Capra’s assistants on
‘Mr. Smith Goes to Washington’ and
you didn’t make the boys run tnen.”
“I know,” Rhein replied. “But
Capra’s pictures have longer schedules
than yours.”

Rock Hill, July 26.—King George’s
Royal Air Force is mighty busy Jiese
days and nights pounding enemy ter
ritory across the English channel but
Mr. Churchill’s air aces are no more
seious in their job than are the ap
proximately 100 R. A. F. fledgKfigs
based at the air training station a-
cross the Catawba river at Rock
Hill’s neighboring city of Camden,
South Carolina.
True, negotiating fog banks and
anti-aircraft fire is one problem,
but making a Stearman primary
tainer behave, getting the right num
ber of pennies in the slot to get a
soft drink, and understanding what
Southerners mean when they say
“Huh?” is a multiple problem for the
British laddies.
And a visit to Camden’s airport
where the Southern Aviation School
is training pilots for Uncle Sam and
John Bull is sufficient to convince
one that the R. A. F. yearlings will
handle their problems even as their
senior brothers are doing now for
Mr. Churchill. Those English boys
are in dead earnest. They like Cam
den fine, too, but they want to get
back home because they’ve got a job
to do.
Everybody works at the Camden
air training school, from Jack Net
tles, who is airport manager, right
on through. Earle Wheeler, tlm
Southern Aviation school public rela
tion director, is busy with the
“board”, which is the flight schedul-
for the lads using the same score and
a half planes. Lieutenant H. C. Hug-
lin, the personable young man from
Iowa who commands the air corps
training detachment, is busy in the
administration building or is in the
air. There is a staff of thirty-odd in
structors under Fred M. Leslie, chief
pilot for the Southern Aviation
school, and -theirs is a heavy routine
of duty.
The first group of sixty-six Eng
lish lads arrived June V 'to begin their
training course at Camden. They had
had plenty of excitement during their
seven-day sea voyage from “some
where in England” to Nova Scotia. It
was reported that their escort ships
had left them during the trip to help
chase the German battleship, Bis
marck.
Camden claims to have started
putting the young Englishmen in the
air almost as soon as their feet
touched Camden soil. They arrived
on a Sunday afternoon and by sunup
Monday over a dozen had been aloft.
This was a first flying experience for
most of them because their training
before leaving home had been en
tirely in the ground school. A ten
weeks stopover at Camden is only
one step in a three-stage preparation
for. their date with Jerry. At Camden
the Britishers and the American lads,
too, who ae sent there for polit train
ing for the 'United States Army re
ceive sixty hours of flight training.
After this primary course they go
to another field for their basic train
ing where in heavier ships they study
the art of flying for another ten
weeks and add seventy hours to their
experience. Then comes ten weeks of
advanced training and seventy hours
more to give the pilot 200 hours as
his training is completed. All of these
schools are part of the Southeast
Air Corps Training Center with head
quarters at Maxwell Field, Ala., and
commanded by Major General Walter
R. Weaver.
- There’s no one connected with the
air field at Camden who will call his
fledglings home because dates and
places are taboo when you start talk
ing about ocean crossings nowadays.
But one gathers a pretty good idea
that as soon as the young pilots are
rgady there will be a job at home
waiting for them.
While another rule in this busi
ness of war is that newspapermen
cannot quote the R. A. F. boys, you
don’t have to talk with them very
long to learn that they are anxious
to get back home. What Americans
boy, with memories of enemy bomb
ings of his own home still fresh in his
mind and the shrill of shells and the
pop of incendiaries whistling in his
ears, would not want to do something
about it?
They’re just youngsters, most of
them. Some volunteered at eighteen.
The age limit is higher for other
branches of service, so they chose the
flying service. Many of the R. A. F.
yearlings at Camden are just about
the age of Rock Hill boys who finish
ed high school last June.
Camden gets a big kick out of
the visiting Englishmen and the
boys of the R. A. F. (they pronounce
it as a solid word but their “a” is
more like an “o”) get a kick out of
the Camdenites. The reception Cam-

Governor Blease, after all, has made
a fairly good governor. There is one
thing certain—the bosses of the State
have had very little sayso during his
administration, and it may be that
is what hurts.
Silverstreet, one of the most pro
gressive towns in Newberry county,
will in the very near future have in
operation a strong bank, with men be
hind it who have been consistent in
their efforts for the upbuilding of
their community and of the county
generally, and who have the confi
dence of the people of the county. The
authorized -capital stock of the new
bank is $20,000 and of this amount
about $18,500 has been subscribed.
The bank will be known as the Far
mers Bank, Silverstreet, S. C. At
the directors’ meeting the following
officers were elected: President, H. O.
Long; Vice President, B. M. Havird;
Attorney, E. S. Blease. The election
of the cashier was postponed for the
time being, and President H. O. Long
was made acting cashier until the el
ection of a permanent cashier.
The annual Newberry college re
union will be held at Little Mountain
on Friday of this week. This has long
been one of the occasions looked for
ward to'bV the friends of Newberry
college and the people generally of
Lexington, Edgefield, Saluda, and
Newberry counties; the crowd usual

people. This year, as usual, the Co
lumbia, Newberry and Laurens rail
way will operate trains both ways for
the accommodation of those who de
