Livestock Train Coming To Columbia
AN AMERICAN PLEDGE FOR
NATIONAL DEFENSE
(By Max M. Harrison East Texas
Chamber of Commerce)
I will keep myself fit physically,
mentally, spiritually—to be ready for
any crisis and to discipline myself for
strength.
I will go about my business with a
clear eye, a cool head and a stout
heart, neither scared by wild rumors
nor delude by false s irity.
I will do my parti _lar job—m of
fice, store, mill or farm— better than
it was ever done before, dedicating
my skill to my country’s service.
I will take an active interest in
government—in town, school, district,
county, state, nation,—and m&ke it
my business to understand pubhe af
fairs, laws and policies.
I will help build by town as a
wholesome balanced community, be
cause if all the communities are
sound, America will be sound.
I will Vote in every election, appre-
% ciating the right of the ballot now de
nied in many lands.
I will support billions for defense
but not one cent for-waste.
I will work for unity among all our
people and oppose efforts to create
hatred based on race, color or creed
I will encourage our boys and girls
to revere and respect our American
traditions.
I will keep faith with myself, my
country and my God.
It is conceivable that some of the
superior blue jays of South Carolina,
departing for hell on Fridays, stop
ped off sometimes in the Peewee Val
ley to pick up and guide the unsophis.
ticated blue jays of Kentucky on their
way, but what we emphasize and as
sert is that the intelligent, civilized
and brave jay bird has from
immemorial spent Friday in hell and
that Sunday has nothing to-do with
the case.
It is likely that the lady who was
bom in Kentucky has lived in New
York so long that she has forgotten
what’s what, as anybody would.—

PEACH CROP HELD TO BE FAR
ABOVE LAST YEAR YIELD
GETTING ANOTHER RECORD
STRAIGHT
The vastest error that has come to
our notice in this blundering age is
in a letter from Miss Eva May Mad
den, native of Kentucky, who writes
in a newspaper. The Times, of New
York, that, according to negro auth
orities, “blue jays go to heil ever
Sundays’’.
Of course that is a “fantastic state,
ment”, but not in the sense that Miss
Madden uses the phrase.
Blue jays go to hell on Fridays,
that is and always has been their
custom, and they go to carry the news
of the wars of the “races” for office,
the “numbers racket”, and all other
sinful doings, to the Devil. Whether
they stay over Sunday sometimes we
are not informed, but whatever be
said to their discredit, they cannot be
righteously accused ol traveling on
Sunday.
Moreover, withe multiplied disre
spect for Sunday that has come to
pass m recent decades, especially
since the automobile has ccme upon
the scene, it is obviously necessary
for the blue jays to stay on top of
. earth Sundays if they are not to fall
down on their job as reporters to the
Devil.
The blue jay attains to perfection
in South Carolina, especially in the
Columbia-Camden Belt, and accom
plished ornithologist, the late Dr.
Stanhope Sams, having provided us
with that information.
Washington, Aug. 11.—Boosting
its July 1 forecast by 6 per cent, the
agriculture department estimated the
1941 peach crop today at 69,732,000
bushels an increase of 15,302,000 over
1940. . .
The monthly crop report, based on
August 1 conditions, said that al
though prospects declined slightly
during July in the North Atlantic
and Western areas, this loss was
more than offset by favorable condi
tions in other sections.
The estimate for 10 Southern
states was increased by 8 per cent
over the July 1 forecast, making the
new figure 22,787,000 bushels. The
1940 production was 13,856,000.
Among state figures for 1940 and
1941 were:
Georgia, 4,216,000 and 5,762,000
bushels; South Carolina, 2,158,000
and 3,549,000; Arkansas, 2,040,000
and 3,237,000; North Carolina, 1,344,-
000 and 2,820,000; Tennessee, 264,-
000 and 2,186,000; Virginia, 1,392,000
and 2,116,000.
COUNTY TO GET $25,000 IN
COTTON MONEY
Approximately $25,000 in Cotton
Stamp Money will come to Newberry
County during August. This news
comes from a meeting of the Cotton
Stamp Committee, held in the Cham
ber of Commerce offices Thursday.
Cotton Stamps are being placed in
the hands of farmers- on the basis of
limitations on cotton crops. Although
the stamps are good for an indefi
nite period, it is expected that prac
tically all this money will be ased
during August. Governor Burnet R.
Maybank has issued a Proclamation,
setting aside the week of August 14-
23 as “Cotton Sales Week”.
Local merchants are cooperating
in this effort to help our farmers and
the cotton situation generally, and
the public is reminded that stamps
may be cashed in for cotton merchan
dise at any store displaying the offi
cial ‘Cotton Stamp’ seal on its win
dow. Other signs and displays will
also be seen in the fronts and inter
iors of stores as the “City of Friend
ly Folks” gets set to do its bit tow
ard prosperity in the Cotton Belt.
The Farm is in
For Better Times
Without assuming the role of prophet, we believe it is
evident that better times are just ahead lor the farm.
Prices on farm products are going to be better, and
the more produced the better.
COWS will play an even greater part in the
new money to be spent, for warring nations are call
ing for dairy products in tremendous quantities . . .
Let’s look ahead and plan for the better things
which seem to be coming to the farm. . .

Clemson, Aug. 9. — The “All
Aboard” signal for the^South Caro
lina Livestock and Bett” Farm Liv
ing train now in preparation will be
given at Columbia, Monday, Septem
ber 8, when the eight-car special
will start its 21-day run which in
cludes 45 stops in 32 counties of the
state.
“This train, to be operated by the
Clemson College Extension Service
in cooperation with the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad and affiliated
roads, will show by interesting and
significant exhibits and demonstra
tions with explanatory discussions
what some of the farm changes in
South Carolina are and how to make
them”, says Extension Director D.
W. Watkins.
Livestock as an important arm in
balanced farming will have an im
portant place in the train and its pro
gram.
More meat . producing animals are
needed on S ou th Carolina farms to.
provide food for the farm family,
to furnish a market for home-raised
feeds, and to increase the farm in
come. Livestock and equipment for
producing animals to supply home
needs, as well as for commercial pro-

duction, will be shown in the live
stock.
The beef cattle exhibit will show a
purebred beef bull, a scrub cow and
a half-bred calf, a choice feeder calf,
and a common feeder calf, also
equipment models. The swine exhi-
it will show a sow and litter, and
market grades of hogs, and equip
ment for hog feeding.
The dairy exhibit car is built a-
round the single idea that 20 percent
of the value of the human diet should
be^made up of milk and its products.
Four out of ten farm families in
South Carolina do not own a family
cow. The production of an adequate
farm supply of clean, wholesome
milk is the state’s biggest dairy
problem. The exhibit shows a dairy
cow, care of utensils, proper feeds, a
milk-cooling box.
South Carolina’s $18,000,000 poul
try industry will be shown in these
features: A comparison in value of
poultry and cotton on farms in South
Carolina, the importance of good
breeding stock, operation of the Na
tional rJSultry Improvement Plan in
South ^irolina, value of good feed,
importance of adequate housing,
other equipment for handling poultry.
The general public should also
realize that this program will be
successful only if each and every
shopper becomes more cotton con
scious in the future. The housewife
should cooperate by using articles
made of cotton wherever it is pos
sible to do so. The over-supply of
cotton on hand now represents a loss
in profits andA evenues ‘ n our State.
The shortage of silk at the present
time offers an unusual opportunity to
use cotton goods in cases which
might have been otherwise inconven
ient. The rising cost of living gen-
eraPy makes it essential that every
American citizen do his part to stab
ilize all markets.
Buy cotton goods during “Cotton
Sales Week”, August 14-August 23.

The second monthly meeting of the
Directors of the Newberry Chamber
of Commerce held last Friday, was
very successful and indicated that the
local Chamber has been unusually
active in recent weeks. Among other
things, the meeting consisted of re
ports concerning the sixteen Air
craft Warning Posts recently set up
in Newberry County, consideration
of several industrial prospects for
Newberry, purchase of a number of
historic folders for the town and pos
sible printing of a cheaper folder,
continuation of efforts to obtain a'
flying field, prospects of erecting two
large promotional signs advertising
the City of Friendly Folks on the
“cut-off”, and the possible installs,
tion of a “City Hostess Plan” for the
town.
Efforts of the Newberry Chamber
of Commerce over a period of almost
a year, to obtain mail service at the
local railway depot has now come to
a close. Although the cooperation of
local authorities was given, Federal
authorities state that will be im
possible to place a mail box at our
depot without inconvenience to train
schedule and endangering the lives
of railway mail clerks.
A number of industrial proposi
tions are being considered at the
present time, and Chamber officials in
charge of the matter are doing every
thing possible in this regard. How
ever, the greatest number of outside
concerns wishing to Icate here are de
sirous of concessions and local financ
ing far in excess of the ability of
this community. Several likely pro
positions are still under considera
tion; however, these will be given to
the public at a later date.
The “City Hostess Plan” which may
be used here should be a source of
real pride to all who make their
homes in the City of Friendly Folks.
According to the plan which ma# be
installed in the near future, an offi
cial “Chamber of Commerce Hostess”
will call on all new families as they
move here, extending them greetings
and shopping information about the
city.
Gifts frm^^al merchants will *lso
be presented^Jtftre about this plan
will be seen elsewhere in the paper.
The unusual number of activities
discussed at the meeting last Friday
makes it necessary that publicity on
these matters be touched upon light
ly. Further articles on individual
activities will appear in this paper at
later dates.

MAN DIES ON BUS HERE
Henry T. Stewart, who, according
to a social security card found on
him, was 58 years old, died in the
Columbia-Greenville bus shortly af
ter it arrived here Wednesday at
10:05.
The attention of the bus driver was
called to the peculiar action of this
passenger and he hurried into the
Wiseman hotel and secured a wet
towel which he placed on the passen
ger’s forehead. In the meantime Dr,
Pope had been summoned and arrived
to pronounce the man dead.
The man boarded the bus at Colum
bia but his destination could not be
immediately learned. His driver’s
license gave his home as Woodifard,
S. C., but an identification card gove
his home as Columbia and gave the
name of a brother, also in Columbia,
as one to notify in case of death or
injury. Woodford is near Columbia.
Two purses were found on the dead
man but the only money in either of
them was less than a dollar in
change. Two or three small pieces
of paper and ticket stubs indicated
that the was an itinerant worker. He
was carried to the McSwain Funeral
Home to await instructions from
relatives.

JOLLY STREET PREPARES
FOR BIG ANNUAL EVENT
The big annual Jolly Street politi
cal rally will be Friday, August 22.
Due to circumstances this rally has
been delayed for several days but a
well worth while program is being
arranged that will entertain the us
ual large crowd.
According to the Jolly Street Dic
tator an entertaining program is be
ing arranged. Such distinguished
speakers as J. K. Breedin, Dr. James
H\ Hope, Sen. William Jennings Bry
an Dorn of Greenwood, Wyndham
H. Manning, Thomas H. Peeples, Con.
Butler B. Hare and three senatorial
candidates, Bcrnet R. Maybank, Olin
D. Jonston and Joseph Bryson.
The honorable Cole L. Blease of
Columbia and Dr. S. J. Derrick will
preside over the meeting.
The public address system will be
furnished by Hite Bros, of Columbia
who have recently added to their
The Sun
Have you heard about the new hos.
pitality plan for the City of Friendly
Folks? In the near future, we may
have an official City Hostess, who will
call on all newcomers, greeting them
and furnishing them with hints, in
formation, and shopping facts.
At the Friday meeting of the New
berry Chamber of Commerce, a plan
for this system was presented to the
Directors by Secretary Ted Bremer,
andwas approved for action. The
Chamber’s active new president, C.
C. Hutto, has had such a system in
mind for some time, and details of
the plan cannot be presented in this
article, bu the general idea is as fol
lows:
A new famil ymoves to the City of
Friendly Folks. At once, the mach
inery of the plan goes into action,
and word of the location of the new
family comes to the Chamber of
Commerce. (You can help in this re
gard, personally, by informing the
local Chambe raboui any newcomets
you chance t hear of from time to
time.) Immediately thereafter, the
official “Hostess” makes a trip to the
home of the new citizen. She spends
a few minutes in friendly conversa
tion, making the stranger feel at
home and among friends. She then
furnishes shopping information,
church and school information, litera
ture about Newberry, etc. She ends
by presenting several small gifts
from local merchants and business
houses, and inviting the new family
to call on the Chamber of Commerce
for further information at any time.
It is hoped that the entire com-
mpnity will be proud of the new plan
and that new friends will be won for
The City of Friendly Folks thereby.
Certainly no better advertising can
be gained, then that visitors go away
with praise and a good word for our
community.

PENALTY ON EXCESS MORE
THAN DOUBLED
The Department of Agriculture to
day announced that the penalty rate
in 1941 cotton marketed in excess of
the farm marketing quota will be 7
cents per pound. The 1940 penalty
was 3 cents a pound.
Establishment of the rate was pro
vided by Congress in an amendment
to the Agricultural Adjustment Act
of 1938. This legislation set a basic
loan rate to cooperators for the 1941
crop of cotton at 85 per cent of the
cotton parity price as of August 1.
At the same time, it provided that
the penalty on marketing excess cot
ton be placed at 50 per cent of the
basic loan rate.
The parity price of cotton on Aug
ust 1 was 16.49 cents a pound, which
middling cotton 14.02 cents. Thus,
the penalty rate was set at half of
made the basic loan rate for 7-8 inch
this figure, or 7 cents a pound. This
will be a flat rate applicable to the
marketing of all 1941 excess cotton,
regardless of grade or staple.
Department officials pointed out
that -the new loan rate is more than
5 cents above that in effect on the
1940 crop while the penalty rate was
increased only 4 cents.
Producers who knowingly exceed
their acreage allotments may receive
government loans at a rate of only
60 per cent of that offered to coopera
tors, but only on that portion of their
crop which is subject to penalty.
CROMER REUNION AT
LITTLE MOUNTAIN
The descendants of the late Geo.
A. Cromer and Harriet Cromer
Counts met at Little Mountain on
Wednesday, August 6th for their an
nual family reunion.
The devotional was conducted by
Rev. Paul M. Counts who took the
23rd Psalm as the basis of a few
suitable comments. He pointed out
that this psalm makes us feel de
pendent on God for physical as well
as spiritual benefits. In St. John’s
gospel the 10th chapter the 23rd Psalm
is fulfilled in these words, “I am the
good shepherd.”
All of the living children were pres
ent except Mrs. Nora Wheeler who
lives in Washington. Although she is
in her ninety second year she is active
and interested in everything around
her. The Roll Call showed one other
family without representatives—that
of Mary Haltiwanger.
Miss Lucille Counts gave a his
tory of the late Walter S. Counts.
Mrs. A. N. Crosson reported events in
the life of her mother, Mrs. Janie S.
Reagin.
! After the benediction the group
enjoyed a picnic dinner and visiting
with each other.
The older ones compared ages and
talked of old times while the young
er ones enjoyed swinging and see
sawing.
The next meeting will be held at
the regular time—Wednesday after
the Little Mountain reunion.
