“BALLING” THE DOCTOR
Doctor William P. Houseal post
cards us to the effect that R. H. Gren-
eker, Sr., was not the founder of the
Newberry News. The founders, says
Doctor Houseal were R. H. Greneker,
Jr., a nd Mr. Houseal. R. H. Greneker.
Sr., was on the staff. John A. Chap
man (Annals of Newberry, History of
Edgefield, etc.) was editor for one
year then the sheet was sold to Bon
ham & Simpkins (Bonhams of judi
ciary & Edgefield Simpkins) in 1879
and was turned back to R. H. Grene
ker in 1880.
T. F. and R. H. Greneker, Sr.
founded The Herald in 1865 (close of
the war year). R. H. Greneker, Sr.
kept The Rising Sun rising weekly
until T. F. Greneker returned from
the war.
Mr. Houseal says “I have seen cop
ies of The Sun on half sheets,” i. c.,
two pages.
Continuing with the Grenekers, Mr.
Houseal reports that T. P. Slider and
R. H. Greneker, Sr. founded the
Progressive Age February 14, 1873.
Mr. Houseal began his printing career
in the Herald office Jan. 9, 1873. The
Age was short-lived, folding three
years after its beginning. This sheet
claimed (doubtful) distinction of be
ing first to nominate Tilden and Hen
dricks -for president and vice-presi
dent on Demo ticket. Doctor Houseal
says these two gentlemen were cheat
ed out of the election in the electoral
college 185 to 184.
Continuing, Doctor Houseal suys:
“R. H. G. did not work at tuntio
1878 on NEWS. Nevea editur on H.
&N. R. H. G. JR aoined THE NEWS
WITH HERALD SEPT. 1884. H then
was compositur on H &.N. R.H.G.SR
was compositur on H&N? under Aull
&HQJJSEAL in 188 until his illness
In 190. So yui bawles up what tVery
distinetky wrote. Your cordially W.
P. HOUSEAK."
If after reading that last para
graph, you don’t feel we have rome
wee justification for “balling” the
doctor up, our neck is ready for the
chopping block.

FOUND
CLEAN OLD CEMETERY
City and county forces working
together have cleaned off the oid city
cemetery back of Boundary street
school, or more properly, perhaps,
' near the old standpipe. Many of
Newberry’s pioneer men and women
lie buried there, and until last week
their last resting plaies were covered
with some 300 loads of bushes, vines
and brambles, that being the number
of truck loads carted off as a result
of the cleaning. Old markers bear
such names as Blease, Kinard, White,
Ruff, and many others. There is also
a marker, erected by the UDC in
memory of six unidentified Confeder
ate soldiers who sleep there. The
lower part of the old burial grohnd
was used by the negroes and while
many of the stones have long ago
been removed for one reason or an
other, hundreds of graves may be de
tected by single pieces of granite
half buried in the ground.
The four or five acre grounds, syl
van in aspect with great oaks and
pines could and should be made a
very pretty place.
Those who cherish the memory of
the early settlers would, I believe, ap
prove of the city making an annual
expenditure there to keep the old ce
metery in good order.
Hundreds of liquor bottles were
carted off in the cleaning process and
it is reported in that section that
white couples were often seen coming
and going at night into the darkness
of the bushes. We have grown pretty
indifferent of a past of which we
should be proud, when such as this is
tolerated.
Mrs. J. H. Summer is responsible
for this work being done, as it was
she who interested the county board
and city council. Mrs. Summer, how
ever, was not so much interested in
the dead as in the living. Driving by
there recently she saw two white
girls emerge from the bushes on their
way home from school. In another
section of the grounds she saw two
negro youths. There was no connec
tion between the two, but Mrs. Sum
mer visualized what COULD happen
under such conditions and resolved
to forestall it.
The grounds are now clean and in
viting and a visit there will prove
stimulating to those not altogether
enveloped in the heedless present.
Perhaps Doctor (Weather Prophet)
Houseal could give us a bit of history
on this old burial ground.
has
For a couple a weeks there
been standing in front of our office a
small girls’ bicycle. The frame of
the bicycle is painted red and it fs of
the “Excelsior” make. This bike has
not moved out of Hs tracks since it
was first noted, and we feel that per
haps some little girl has forgotten
where she left it.
TAZ OPTIMISTIC
Despite the poor outlook for both
cotton and com in this section, Taz
Senn remains optimistic. Taz says he
has read the inscriptions on a lot of
grave stones but has yet to see
where anyone came to his end thru
starvation. That’s all right, Taz,
but we’re living in an age when peo
ple are not satisfied with a hand-to-
mouth existence, and had just about
as soon starve as to be unable to ride
and have a good time. The prime
consideration of our fore-parents was
indeed to get enough to eat and they
ate heartily. Today a peanut butter
sandwich and a “dope” often suffices,
the difference going into the pleas
Saluda Celebration
Drew Large Crowds
Some three to four thousand peo
ple went to Saluda Saturday to be in
on events and festivities marking the
45th anniversary of that thriving
town.
The colorful street parade was
headed up by Newberry’s West End
band followed by Saluda and Edge-
field units of home guard in uniform
and carrying their gun.-. Then came
several hundred school children all
carrying small flags, followed by the
American Legion drum and bugle
corps from Spartanburg. This outfit
was a very striking one and was ap
plauded by the crowds.
The line of march ended at the Red
Bank Baptist church and it was in the
groves near there that the speaking
was held and the barbecue dinner
served. The speaker’s stand was
erected on the exact spot where 45
years ago a similar stand was erect
ed when Saludans gathered to cele
brate the selection of Red Bank as
the county seat.
B. W. Crouch, Saluda pioneer, pre
sided, presenting first four members
of the constitutional convention which
formed Saluda county, a ll of them
making short talks. One of the mem
bers of the 1895 convention said that
the creating of Saluda county was
the only thing the convention did
which proved worth-while. He had
reference to the several acts of the
convention which have been neglected
or rendered ineffective by court de
cisions.
The feature address of the oc««sion
was that of Eugene S. Blease who
went to Saluda when about 18 years
old as a school teacher and was in
the county when Red Bank was de
cided upon as the county seat. Mr.
Blease’s talk was almost entirely of
a historical nature but the crowd,
both old and young listened intently
to every'word he said, applaunding on
occasions. it.
Candidates for the Senate spoke in
the afternoon to what is said to be
their largest audience so far.

THE POT IS LIFELESS
The political pot refuses to boil,
even to simmer, over the municipal
primary soon to be held. Whether it’s
war or the hot weather, local poli-
ticials are extemely quiet. The city
executive committee met the other
night and decided to use the old roll
books and set the fees as heretofore;
fifteen dollars for alderman, thirty-
five dollas for Mayor and twenty-five
dollars for commissioner of public
works, double if no opposition dev
elops.
Even rumors are scarce. Some
talk of Dick Floyd and Jackson Bow
ers getting in the race for mayor but
no great number seem to want to
serve the city as aldermen in spite
of the fact that salaries in that office
have been increased, as well as in the
office of mayor. Ned Purcell’s term
as commissioner expires and he will
have to run if he wants to succeed
himself. Ned seems to have been
pretty successful in pleasing every
body (an art iu which he excells) and
it is doubtful if he has an opponent.
Just in passing we might mention
that candidates can get their cards
in this album of song until the elec
tion at the following tariff: mayors,

DOWN MEMORY
LANE
30 YEARS AGO
Mr. W. B. Boinest last week spent
a short while in Walhalla among
friends. Mr. Boinest had been in at
tendance upon the farmers’ institute
at Clemson and ran over to Walhalla
to renew acquaintences and see the
town again. He attended Newberry
college during the time it was located
at Walhalla, but this was his first
trip back to the town in thirty years.
Mr. Boinest reports a cordial wel
come by a number c . old friends and
acquaintances.
The grass is being mowed off the
streets and the ditches made in the
sidewalks by the recent rains are be
ing filled with sand, and the force,
or part at it, has come into view. But
what good does it do to put this sand
on the sidewalks? It will remain
there only until another rain, when
it will travel on down to Scott’s
creek, and the same old routine will
have to be gone over again. Why not
take our advice, it’s free, and do
something that will last, and that is
in keeping with the progress of the
times. It will pay, and the present
administration has time enough left
to do something.
SCHOOLS SUCCESS
Mr. P. Fant Gilder has resigned his
position as bookkeeper in the New
berry Savings Bank to accept a posi
tion with the Southern Bell Tele
phone and Telepgraph company in
Charlotte. Mr. Gilder has been a
faithful, courteous, and efficient offi
cial of the bank, and his many
friends here, and the hundreds of
friends here of* the bank, regret to
see him leave. He felt, however, that
the position which was tendered him
in Charlotte offered better chances of
promotion in the business world, and
teatr***"- to*.-QHder Witt
be succeeded at the bank by Mr. G.
Leland Summer, who for the past
several years has held a position with
the Moliohon cotton mill. An inquiry
over the telephone at the office of tha
mill on Monday failed to elicit any
informaition as to Mr. Summer’s suc
cessor—or any other .information,
except that the person answering the
phone was at the Moliohon mill and
that the Moliohon mill whs located in
Newberry. „
Mrs. Cora Bledsoe and four chil
dren returned to their home Wednes- j
day after visiting her brothers, Her
man and Alvin Hipp at Warsaw, N.
C. They also visited Carolina Beach
while away.
Fats And Leans In
Fast And Furious Tilt
Next Tuesday afternoon, August
26, at 7 o’clock will be a softball
game at SetzleV Field between the
“Fats” and the “Leans” of the city.
The affair is being sponsored by the
Newberry Junior Chamber of Com
merce for the benefit of the Girl
Scout Cabin drive, and for this pur
pose an admission fee of 10 and 20
cents will be charged.
Two years ago a similar game was
held which the leans won. This year
the fats^ are out for revenge. Jimmy
Wiseman, captain of the fats, prom
ises to bring home the bacon for the
fats, “even if he has to surround
home plate to do so.” Ellisor Adams,
captain of the leans, is just as confi
dent of another victory this year
to make it two straight for the leans.
It should be well worth the small
price of admission to see these boys
in action, and in addition to that the
money raised will be used in a worthy
cause. Tickets will be on sale by the
Girl Scouts of the city, so get a tick
et from them and make your plans to
see this clash between the thicks
and the thins.
The lineup of the fats will be sel
ected from the following: Jimmy
Wiseman, Captain; Colie Dowd, Ralph
Baker, Horace Swittenberg, Tom Fel
lers, Colie Cook, Harry Culclasure,
Walter Joye, Clem Youmans, Dick
Baker, Jake Wheeler, Ben Spotts,
Dick Mims, “Chubby” Corley, Jeter
Young, “Fat” Wood, L. F. FMscher,
Charlie Bowers, “Doc” Dominick,
“Shelt” Alewine, and Sam Glenn.
And the leans will be made up of
the following: Ellisor Adams, Cap
tain; E. M. Evans, Doug Hornsby, J.
W. Earhardt, Jr., Sam Beam, Henry
Cousins, Cecil Williams, G. K. Dom
inick, Luther Brice, Red Newman,
Floyd Dennis, Straw Paysinger,
“Jess” Hawkins, “Slim” Henderson,
P. K. Harmon, Dave Hayes, Hendrix
Monts, “Racket” Partridge, George
Halfacre and J. N. Beard.
The Bible Schools and Preaching
Missions af the Mt. Tabor Lutheran
Parish which were conducted recent
ly were very encouraging. The at
tendance was unusually good ancr the
study, class work, and participation in
discussions were gratifying. The Mt.
Tabor School had 185 enrolled, an av
erage attendance of 173 (including
visitors), 104 with perfect attendance
records and 75 certificates were aw
arded. Mt. Pilgrim had an enroll
ment of 112, an average attendance
of 101 (including visitors), 65 with
perfect attendance records and 27
certificates and 9 course cards were
awarded. Both schools continued for
seven days.
For the Preaching Missions the at
tendance was even larger. Very force
ful gosipel sermons were delivered by
the Rev. J. L. Mayer a nd the Rev. C.
E. Seastrunk.
Mrs. N. P. Moody, of Columbia
spent the weekend with her mother,
Mrs. J. B. Halacre and other rela
tives in the city.
Mrs. Herman Halfacre and little
daughter, Sue will return to their
home this weekend after spending 3
weeks wfth her mother, Mrs. Mcll-
wain at Due West.
