OUT AMONG
THE PEOPLE
AGAIN TRYING TO KN’FE
THE FARMER
This newspaper has pointed out
time and again that Mr. Roosevelt
does not play fair with the farmer.
For some accountable reason he
seems to be “agin” the man who
tills the soil and feeds the world. A
late instance is his opposition to the
efforts of the farm bloc to fix a ceil
ing so that the farmer may at last
be in position to pull himself out of
the dumps he has been in so long—
in fact since the last war.
The only other class we have ever
known him to appose is the veterans
and congress ignored him in that
case and gave the boys the bonus
they deserved. We hope congress
will have the backbone to ignore him
again and give the farmers what
they deserve. Mr. Roosevelt’s “for
gotten man” is really the farmer,
but to him: that individual seems to
be the one who wasted his substance
in high living and didn’t have guts
enough to recover from his own folly.
Mr. Roosevelt wants to penalize the
fanner who has remained on the land
and tried to feed himself. Instead of
placing a premium of thrift and fiard
work, the New Deal has caused
those two virtues to become a stench
in the nostrils of thousands.
“Hold him ;n the road,” congress
men! The world has got to have
what the farmer raises and there is
no reason why the world should not
pay for it, just as it is paying high
prices for everything else. Any
Southern congressman or Senator
who does not hang with the farm
bloc in this fight should be “strung
up” politically this summer.

GRADING BEGINS ON BORDEN
MILK PLANT SITE
On Thursday morning, January 15
under the supervision of J. B. Arch
er, of the McDewitt & Street Con
struction company, of Charlotte,
grading was begun on the 300x300
lot for the Borden Milk company.

or the Country Club road.

brick building, valued at $15,000,
will begin Monday, January 26, and
is expected to be completed within
90 days.

Red Cross Cash Flows
In to Far Exceed Quota
The Emergency War Relief cam
paign for Red Cross funds was fin
ished at a meeting of the special
committee Tuesday afternoon. Un
der the able leadership of Chairman
Z. F- Wright, assisted by Messrs. C.
C. Hutto and T. E. Epting as co-chair,
men, and a corps of loyal workers,
the campaign was successfully con
cluded, raising in a comparatively
short time $7,700, 4 sum much larg
er than the amount of the quota of
$4,500 asked. Newberry county and
its citizens may well be pround of her
response to this emergency appeal of
the American Red Cross. The suc
cess of the campaign was due in
great part to the fact that it was
county-wide in the fullest sense;
each section of the county having a
chairman and active workers. It
was beause the leaders and workers
of the various districts really worked,
that the drive met with such success;
that amounts were raised in some
districts far in excess of what might
have been reasonably expected. Too
much credit cannot be given to the
great number of loyal citizens who
served as workers, and to all who re
sponded in every way when called
upon.
The following approximate figures
give some adea of the generous re
sponses met throughout the county:
Whitmire $1,688

PERRY HALFACRE ASSIGNED TO
QUARTERMASTER TRAINING
DOWN MEMORY
LANE
20 YEARS AGO
Mr. Foster Martin and Mr. H. L.
Parr attended the meeting of the
stockholders of the Lime Cola com
pany held in Orangeburg Tuesday.
Faster krork and more definite aim
than have characterized a n y legisla
ture for a number of years feature
the present session, after two weeks
of work, and with five new revenue
producing bills going through the
mil! and with little else on surface of
state-wide importance, the South
Carolina legislature seems on the
high road’ to adjournment with the
40 days allowed for the regulation
session. Both houses begin their
week with Monday night sessions.
There is one central theme running
through legislation at this session,
and aside from that there is little
else of importance—taxation, with a
special eye to tax reduction. There
seems to be a pretty general under
standing among the leading members
that the total of appropriations can
hardly be reduced, but that new reve
nue must be produced, and before
the second week ended Friday after
noon, five revenue producing meas
ures had been introdued by the
ways and means committee of the
house.
Thanking in the name of the House
Reps. J. T. Bramlett and John G.
Greer, both of Greenville, who had
served under Gen. Robt. E. Lee in
the Sixties and had addressed the
South Carolina House of Represen
tatives in honor of Gen.‘ Lee’s birth
day, Representative Eugene S. Blease
of Newberry reminded the members
that not very much longer would
they have the veterans of the Con
federate armies with them, and
called upon them to see that in the
short time that remains every honor
should be accorded them in. memory
of their valor and sacrifices. “They
fought,” Mr. Blease said, “in behalf
of what has oftentimes been called
the ‘Lost Cause’, but it is not lost.
Those principles for whidh the men
of the Confederacy dared death and
some gave up their lives will never
die, but living, will lead the country
on to higher and greater achieve
ments. The wearers of the grey
came back to their homes with their
flag furled, but there was no stain
of dishonor on it. They were de
feated, but they 1 were defeated in
glory and with honor.”
Perry E. Halfacre, who has been
stationed at Fort Jackson, has been
assigned to the Quartermaster Re
placement Training center at Camp
Lee, Virginia.
