IV I Every Week More People Read The Sun VOLUME 4; NO. 48 OUT AMONG THE PEOPLE SLAY HIM! I at times almost despair of civili zation. Then some woman up and shoots her wife beating husband and hope is renewed within me. As long as our women hold their ground and demand respect of the male lot all is not lost. I would like to see this wife killing of abusing husbands take on whole sale proportions. They should be dealt with in gross lots. Time was when a woman was con sidered a man’s personal property and a lot of idiots think they are still living in the first century. Wife beating is without a doubt the most hellish piece of business ever concoct ed by the evil mind of man and I think congrss should vote a large pen. sion bo every woman who kills the brute who abuses her. I am no ec clesiastic, but perhaps have as much right as anyone to give out holy or ders and I say this to you women who have wife-beating husbands: Kill Him! Do not allow the biblical injunc tion against killing deter you. You have a right to live your own life un molested by any brute. 'Thou shalt not kill” was not written of all men, or, perhaps sometime down thru the ages it lost an original proviso—” “. . . unless he beateth thee.” A mad dog should be killed. It does not matter that he walks up right. His posture has nothing to do with his character. Many a dog is more noble than a wife-beating hus band. We have every other kind of week and I am going to suggest yet an other—a “Kill Him This Week” week. During this week women should go about the land without compunction and slay, husbands who are mistreat ing them. They should then be invited into court and given the thanks of the State, and a nice, juicy check. BIG GAME AT JOLLY STREET After losing the first game of the series to Chapin Saturday, the Jolly Street club will be right back fighting Saturday when Chapin comes to Jol ly Street Saturday, September 20th, at 4:30, daylight saving time in the second game of the series. A small admission is asked by the Jolly Street officials for this out standing game of the season. Jolly Street will be battling to square the series at one-all. SCOUTING Troop 66 of Newberry held their meeting Monday night at 7:30. The meeting was opened with a report on attendance and the pledge of alle giance to the Flag. Afterwards, games were played in side the cabin. The making out of reports followed. Announcements were made by the Scoutmaster and Erland Nelson re ceived a blue bar for fifty hours of community service rendered. v Mr. Cannon then announced the Burro Baseball game to be played soon. The meeting was closed with the circle of scouts and the Great Scout master’s benediction. Howard Parks. Troop Reporter, ERECT SIGNS ON CUT-OFF ROAD Work has already begun on two mammoth promotional signs placed on the cut-off just outside the “City of Ftriendly Folks”. Within the next few weeks tourists who normally would pass by New berry without even realizing the near ness of a substantial town, will be reminded of the City of Friendly Folks in an impressive way. Attrac tively designed sign-boards of an unusual size will point the way to this thriving community. The dimen sions of these boards are approxi mately 30.feet long by 14 feet Mgh. The most modern reflecting metal will be used so that the signs may be read at night also. The signs were designed some time ago by the Newberry Chamber of Commerce, and efforts were made to interest the City, the County, and various merchants of the community in the proposition. As a result, these three groups together with the Cham ber of Commerce are financing the work. The labor is being furnished through the cooperation of the Na tional Youth Administration, Tom Summer being the foreman on the job. The sites for the signs are be ing donated by Mr. Z. F. Wright and Mr. H. D. Whitaker. Decorating and painting will be done by local painter Matt Adams. A further description of these signs will be given at a later date. The Rising Sun—1856-1860 NEWBERRY, S. C. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1941 Newberry Is All Set For Game Here Tonight Newberry college will open its 1941 grid season Friday night against Appalachian State. The Indians’ opponent of Boone, N. C., has always had a big, pow erful team. With many reserves, this season’s club will be the best in five years, if early indications mean anything. Last week, Appalachian took Rollins of Florida, to the tune of 20 to 6, which is something that eight good clubs failed to do last year. The information coming out of the North Carolina hills states that Appalachian has one of the out standing teams among the so-called small colleges this year. The Indians will be opening their fourth season in the new stadium, and they will endeavor to keep the record of not having been defeated in that stadium clean. Even so, it would appear that all good things must come to an end, and the game Friday will probably turn out to be their first defeat. However, the In dians expect to put forth all they have to keep the slate clear for at least another opening. DONKEY BASEBALL The finest “treat” of fun and laugh ter given this town in many a sum mer moon is assured local residents Tuesday, September 23 at 8 p. m., when a herd of the slyest-eyed, buck- in’est little burros ever to spill rid ers will be the mounts of outstanding local men in a fun-bristling game of softball which will be played under gigantic floodlights in the college baseball park. As fond of fun as their human play mates, these cute little rogues of animals will spill thefr riders all over the diamond, “ball-up” the game with their unexpected bucking and further add to the night’s merriment with im promptu, side-splitting practical jokes of their own. In this game the Lions Club will play the Jaycees in a benefit game for the Lions club. - Items of Local and Personal Interest Mrs. H. G. Oallison of Columbia spent Saturday in Newberry.

MAYBANK HAS WIDE BUSINESS EXPERIENCE Columbia, S. C., Sept. 18.—(PNS)— The second man in the history of this state has gone from the governor’s chair to the United States senate by a direct vote of the people, Governor Burnet R. Maybank. The senate seat comes as a climax to the political career of Senator May- bank who first served a Charleston ward as alderman. The oldest son of a Charleston family doctor has taken his seat in the highest legislative body in these United States. But the talk of world trade, world peace, or the dozens of questions that face that body during these troubled days, will be nothing new to this 41 year old legislator. Before reaching the governor’s chair Maybank was in the cotton busi ness that necessitated his traveling over Efjrope rrtanyt times. In fact the Whole business world has fteen his workshop. After serving as alderman he was elected mayor of Charleston and in his race for a second term became the first unopposed mayor in Charles ton’s history. In 1938 he was elect ed governor over a large field. This was Senator Maybank’s first state wide campaign. Maybank received his education at Porter Military Academy and the College of Charleston. While in col lege he was a member of A. T. O. social fraternity and will be the sec ond A. T. O. in the senate. During world war No. 1 the Sena tor served in the navy and was transferred to the naval air corps at the close of the war. He has long been active in the American Legion and the Masons as well as numerous ot' er organizations. A very noaulaj-^-^n. Sene bank recently neceivt-c a letter bear ing as an address, his picture and the words “Our next United States Senator, Columbia, South Carolina.” EMILE HARLEY IS NEW S. C. GOVERNOR Joseph Emile Harley, Barnwell lawyer and farmer, is to be South Carolina’s new Chief executive. Born in 1880 the new Governor has lived in Barnwell county for his en tire life. He has served that county in the legislature and the town of Barnwell as mayor. Harley saw service in the Spanish- American war as a member of the South Carolina volunteers. He re ceived his law degree at.the Univer sity of South Carolina. The new governor has served as a special judge appointed by the Supreme Court. Throughout his entire life he has been active in the Democratic party, attending four national conventions. Harley was first elected Lieutenant- Governor in 1934 over three oppon ents. Again in 1938 he was elected over a field of three. SPECTACULAR NEW PLYMOUTH NOW BEING SHOWN The new Plymouth cars, hailed by the Chrysler corporation as its No. 1 product, is now on display at the Showrooms of the Smith Motor com pany and Mr. Smith invites the pub lic to call and look it over. Structually the car differs greatly from last years model and many refinements have been added. The late model Dodge’s arrived Monday and are also being shown at the Smith showrooms. This new car at a slightly higher price embodies much found in high priced cars and the “dependability of Dodge” has become a household axiom in America. Dodge’s long rec ord of fine automobiles makes it first choice of American motorists. You may have a demonstration in either of these oars by calling at the Smith Motor company. LIKE QUESTION AND ANSWER FEATURE According to announcement by the Rev. E. Bryan Keisler, pastor of the Church of the Redeemer, the question and answer period which was intro duced last Sunday evening as a part of the Sunday evening services prov ed to be very interesting to many of those who were present. He says that visitors, members and students not only were free in their words of appreciation after the service last Sunday but that during the week have spoken to him about it. Twenty minutes are devoted to that part of the service and then the pastor preaches a fifteen minute sermon. In order to hold the entire service with in fifty minutes the closing part of the Vespers is dispensed with. The same plan will be followed next Sun day evening.

Maybank, winner in the unoffi cial tabulation of votes in the senate Democratic primary, issued a state ment tonight asserting the results proved “there are no sectional lines in the state.” The statement follows: “I a m deeply grateful to the Dem ocrats of South Carolina for the re sults of today’s primary, which prove there are no sectional lines in the state and that we are all one peo ple interested in promoting our com mon welfare. “At this moment the returns in dicate that I have been favored with a majority vote in 33 of the state’s 46 counties. Five more have not been decided and are very close “I have worked hard and the re turns show that the people appre ciate that much has been accomplish ed in South Carolina during the three years as your governor. “I promise you, as senator from South Carolina, that I will labor hard and long and endeavor to give our state the kind of representation our people want. “From the bottom of my heart I thank the people for the fine vote they gave me. “As I said in my speech last night. I shall have but two masters—my conscience and the people of South Carolina. Rest assured that I shall be a senator for all the people of South Carolina—from Paris Moun tain to Parris Island, from Mountain Rest to Little river and from Fort Mill to Fort Moultrie. “Once again let me thank every one of the citizens of South Carolina for this honor yon have bestowed on me.” PUBLISHED WEEKLY Newberry Vote Is Heavier By 1,051 Newberrians went to the polls Tuesday to the extend of 1051 more than in the first primary’to give for mer Governor Olin D.

His car and two and one half gallons of white lightning was confiscated and Wesson was jailed charged with hav ing unstamped liquor in his posses sion. These two deputies also found 12 gallons if illegal liquor in the home of Dudley Nobles, white, who lives near town. This was Sunday night. He was summoned to appear before Magistrate Dawkins Monday to post bond for his appearance in court. Deputy Quattlebaum Sunday af ternoon arrested David Singley who lives near Pomaria. He appeared before Magistrate Hatton Sunday. The charge was assault and battery with intent to kill upon the person of his step-father and mother who live in the Little Mountain section. Wednesday morning Deputy Quat tlebaum received a report that a rod and reel had been stolen out of an auto near Lake Murray the day be fore. His investigation resulted in the arrest of a negro named Tom Praylow who lived in the vicinity. Tom confessed that he took the an gler’s ammunition and directed Mr. Quattlebaum to where he had hid den it on a ditch bank. The property was returned to its owner while Tom was remanded to county jail. $1.00 PER YEAR DOWN MEMORY 4.ANE 30 YEARS AGO In reply to a direct inquiry as to whether or not he would be a candi date for the United States senate in case Senator Tillman should not run, Governor Blease told a repre sentative of this paper :“You may say that if Senator Tillman is not in the race for the United States sen ate next summer, standing upon my reArd as governor, and my record from the time I reached my majori ty until my election as governor, I will make the race. If Senator Till man desires to succeed himself, I shall be a candidate for reelection aa governor.” All public roads should be posted, giving the direction and the distance. Just start out over a strange road and you will realize the importance of this. We have heard business me^aear the place say that the horse' drink ing arrangement on the public square is not well attended to, that the sup ply of water falls short throughout the day. This is not as it should be. How is it? Why is it? What is the matter? We notice that the farmers and others of Spartanburg county have formed a board of trade, and will co operate with the city board of trade in advancing the interest of the en tire county. This is a very import ant work and by cooperation on the part of the people of the towns and cities with the people of the country, a great work can be accomplished. The Newberry chamber of commerce has a special rate for the people who live in the country, and, of course, If the country people would attend and cooperate as much might be accom plished as if there vfere two separate organizations. Rich Little, colorec living in Clin ton, is the father of twin boys, whom he has named Colie Blease and Casey Jones. How’s that for high? Mayor Langford says he is going to do some street paving and he Is going to do it now. We hope so. When the work starts it should be done under the direction of a good engineer so that we may not have any more patch work and permanent work without intelligent foresight. CARD OF THANKS We wish to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to our friends and neighbors for the many deeds of kindness and acts of loving care shown us in the tragic death of our baby, Earl.
