Newberry Man Is
Given Top Place
Governor Maybank has named Dr.
Young 1 M. Brown, local dentist, a
member of the Probation and Parole
board and has asked that he be named
its chairman.
The director of the new board will
be a full-time man and the governor
has named for this place Jake C. Todd,
athletics director at Erskine college.
In appointing Mr. Todd the governor
said, “Mr. Todd has had many years
experience in handling young people
and he has done a fine job of it at
Erskine college.’’
The Pardon and Parole act is a di
rect result of years of effort on the
part of Senator Marvin E. Abrams.
He has been vitally interested in the
bill and is its author. His efforts to
put the bill over in past years nave
been frustrated for one reason or an
other, but he never gave up the idea,
and was able to get favorable action
on his bill at the last session of the
legislature.
The Pardon and Parole board is
made up of a member from each con
gressional district.

South Carolina entered upon a new
method of handling its convicts yester
day when the probation and parole
board, as announced Sunday night by
Governor Maybank, met at the State
House elected Dr. Young M. Brown of

Supervisor Todd was instructed to
go to Raleigh, N. C., and look into the
parole and probation system in effect
in that state, a system which is to be
followed in many particulars in South
Carolina. Board members themselves
may later attend meetings of the
North Carolina board in order to see
how it handles its business after sev
eral years of experience in its work.
At the initial meeting, there was a
full discussion of the parole act, sign
ed a day or so ago by Governor May-

Plaque & Painting
To Memory of Late
Fire Chief Wells.
Some 200 friends of the late Hanry
B. Wells gathered at the fire station
Sunday afternoon at five o’clock to
witness a ceremony in which the long
time fire chief was memorialized in
a short but beautiful tribute by Dr.
James C. Kinard.
The occasion of the gathering was
an unveiling ceremony of an oil
painting and a plaque in memory of
Mr. Wells. Both of these will hang
in the fire house, the plaque being a
gift to Mr. Wells during his lifetime
and the painting a gift of a friend
since his death.
Fire Chief Herman Wright, Hal
Kohn, Prof. S. J. Derrick, and Prof.
O. B Cannon each expressed their
high regard for the life and services
of Mr. Wells. Mr. Kohn was in
charge of the program.
In evaluating the life and charac
ter of Mr. Wells, Dr. Kinard spoke as
follows:
“On March eighth a year ago we
gathered in a joyful company to hon
or our dear friend, who sat among us
to hear our heartfelt expressions of
esteem a nd affection.
“Since that memorable evening his
soul has sped on triumphant wing in
to the realms of eternal day. But
Henry B. Wells still lives in our
hearts as a creative inspiration to
constructive citizenship, calm courage
and self-sacrificing service.
“This plaque which we presented to
him he cherished. 1 There is no more
fitting place for it than in this build
ing, the product of his vision, a mon
ument to the fifty years which he
gave our Fire Department, the last
thirty as Chief.
“This portrait, and this plaque with
the names of many of his friends
written upon it, shall hang here to
testify daily to the integrity of his
character, which impelled him to
walk quietly and humbly with his God
day by day; to the unselfishness of
his soul, which prompted him to do
many a good deed, unheralded and
unsung, and to lend a helping hand to
the unfortunate and those in need
without others knowing for he never
paraded his generous nature before
men; to the warmth of his heart,
which so often’ brought good efteer
into the lives of others; to the un
flinching heroism of his devotion to
duty, which made him the idol of the
men who fought fires with him; to
the zeal of his interest in his city,
which kept him constantly concern
ed about her welfare; and to the ma
jestic splendor of his manhood, which
endeared him to us all.
OUR FRIEND
“I cannot think of his as dead,
Who walks with me no more;
Along the path of life I tread—
He has but gone before.
“The Father’s House is mansioned
fair,
Beyond my vision dim;
All souls are His, and Here or There
Are living unto Him.
*
“And still his silent ministry
Within my heart hath place,
As when on earth he walked with mo
And met me face to face.
“His life is made forever mine;
What he to me has been
Hath left henceforth its seal and sign
Engraven deep within.
“Mine is he by an ownership
Nor time nor death can free;
For God hath given to Love to keep
Its own eternally.”
HELENA YIELDS QUANTITY OF
ILLEGAL LIQUOR
Sheriff’s deputies, Quattlebaum and
Neel raided two houses in Helena
Saturday in a quest for illegal liquor.
They found it, 60 gallons at the home
of Mac Martin and two gallons at
the home of Bill Wesson. Bill, how
ever, threw his two gallons out of a
window as officers were approacning
but he did not have time to dispose
of the 500 pint bottles in the house
and the officers took these. Wesson
is awaiting trial under a similar
charge lodged against him some time
ago.

WPA APPLICATIONS
According to the information from
the Department of Public Welfare,
applications for WPA work will be
taken only on Mondays and Fridays.
Farmer Loans Are
Available Now
Emergency crop and feed loans for
1942 are now available to farmers in
Newberry county, and applications
for these loans are now being receiv
ed at the Exchange Bank building by
R. P. Henderson, field supervisor, of
the Emergency Crop and Feed Loan
Section of the Farm Credit Admini
stration. This early opening of the
loan program in Newberry county is
part of a plan recently announced by
the Farm Credit Administration
whereby emergency crop and feed
loans are being made available im
mediately in all areas where farming
conditions are seriously affected this
year by abnormally low crop yields.
These loans will be made as in
the past to farmers whose cash re
quirements are relatively small and
who are unable to obtain from other
sources including production credit
associations loans in amounts suffi
cient to meet their needs.
As in former years, the loans will
be made to meet the applicant’s nec
essary cash needs in preparing for
and producing his 1942 crops, or fn
purchasing or producing feed for his
livestock. R. P. Henderson pointed
out that eligible farmers desiring to
do so might apply now for loans to
take care of their crops production
needs for the entire 1942 season.
Loans may include immediate advan
ces to the borrower to meet his cash
requirements this fall, such as for
the planting of grain crops. Mr.
Henderson also said that the balance
of the approved amount of the loan
will be disbursed when the borrower
needs it to finance his spring crops.
Interest at the rate of 4 per cent will
be charged only during the period the
borrower actually has the use of the
funds.
Farmers who obtain loans for the
production of such crops are required
to give as security a first lien on the
crops financed, or, in the case of
loans for the purchase or production
of feed for livestock, a first lien on
the livestock to be fed.
Mr. Henderson is in the office each
Tuesday and Friday, but the office is
open every day.

As loyal Americans, this post be
lieves the time has come to manifest
a stem attitude, supported by prompt
and timely actions that our liberties

The CAPITAL
SCENE
BY DAN T. HENDERSON
If the Richland county Young
Democrats have anything to do with
it, and it appears they will, the in
auguration of Governor Harley on
November 4 will be a gala occasion.
On the night of the 4 after the Gov
ernor has taken office the Wade
Hampton (Columbia) chapter of the
Young Democratic Clubs of South
Carolina will entertain the new gov
ernor and Senator Burnet R. May-
bank at a ball that is expected to at
tract friends of the two honored
guests from all corners of the state.
The Inaugural Ball will be held in
the Township Auditorium.
DIVERSION
Politics and government were for
gotten for the time being Thursday
and football was the talk of the day
as old and young, rich and poor, office
holders, office seekers, and voters
alike swarmed to t(ie State Fair
Grounds for the 39th meeting of the
Carolina-Clemson football teams.
Governor Maybank as is customary
sat on the Carolina side for one half
and the Clemson half the other. Per
sonalities were forgotten and it was
simply 22,000 football fans.
IN MEMORY OF
Wednesday a monument was un
veiled on the State House grounds
facing that of Senator Benjamin Rion
Tillman in memory of the veterans of
the Spanish-American war. The

the board was a result of years of
hard work of his fellow townsman,
Senator Marvin Abrams.

changes in the Governor’s office, effi

DIES
A gentleman from the country sug
gested the other day that if Presi-,
dent Mayes of the chamber of com
merce would give a banquet and
make the admission to the supper
consist in the assurance that every
man who was admitted had come to
town on a split log drag or a road
scrape we might get the roads in a
good condition for a. few days at
least. What say you, Mr. President
Mayes? Some of the roads would be
greatly benefitted just now by the
use of the split log drag.
The Dutch Weather Prophet says
there will be light frost in parts of
South Carolina during October.
Everybody and all the children
should go to the State Fair this
week. The Southern railway wil op

same afternoon. The C. N. & L. has
such a train also.

of the roads of the county m bad

only kind of work which will with
stand such rains.
JAYCEES TO HELP BULLDOGS
OBTAIN SWEAT SUITS
In an effort to make possible the
equipping of the High School foot
ball squad with hooded sweat suits,
the local chapter of the Jaycee* are
starting a movetqent to raise the
necessary funds.'~Wi£Hin fhe next
few days boxes will be placed in the
drug stores and other public places
of the city in which contributions
may be placed by those who are in
terested in cooperating with this
movement.
This organization feels that there
are many in Newberry who would
like to see the team with these nec
essary outfits. As a matter of fact,
several business men have expreseed
such a desire and indicated a willing
ness to make a substantial contribu
tion for the purpose. However, no
concentrated drive in the nature of
solciting subscriptions will be made
the Jaycees feeling that there are
enough citizens interested and will
ing to make a voluntary contribution
to insure the success of this drive.
The funds thus collected will be
turned over to the High school Ath
letics Association to be added to a
small fund now on hand for such a
purpose. All who are interested and
able to make a contribution are urg
ed to place it in the box at one of
these places. The boys need the
suits and will appreciate your help
ing them to obtain them.
