Forest Ranger A. J. Logan, of
Newberry, has announced that those
counties which have a part of their
area included within the Sumter
National Forest in South Carolina,
have received, through the State
Treasurer, checks totaling twenty-
five per cent of the gross receipts
from the forest during the past fis- 1
cal year.
There are three divisions or rang
ed districts of the Sumter National
Forest. The Enoree division in New
berry, Union, Laurens, Fairfield and
Chester counties; the Long Cane di
vision in McCormick, Edgefield, Ab
beville, Greenwood and Saluda coun
ties; and the General Pickens divis
ion in Oconee and Pickens counties.
(No land has been acquired so far
■in Pickens county.)
Gnoss receipts from the Sumter
National Forest totaled $44,868, of
which the counties received $11,217.
Apportionment to the counties is on
the basis of county acreage within
the forest. The National Forest
acreage within counties of the Eno
ree division and the payments re
ceived are as follows: Newberry, 54,-
908 acres, $1931; Union,' 53,727 acres,
$1890; Laurens, 20,265 acres, $713;
Fairfield, 12,363 acres, $435; Chester,
11,777 acres, $414.
Ranger Logan states that National
Forest receipts are derived principal
ly from the sale of timber stumpage
to private operators. During the
past fiscal year 691,000 board feet
of timber, including sawlogs, pulp
County Democrats
Frown on New Deal
And The President
Approximately 300 delegates at
tended the Newberry county Demo
cratic convention here Monday, and
gave enthusiastic approval to two
major resolutions; one opposing the
renomination of Roosevelt for Presi
dent and the other pledging the con
vention to strict adhertnee of a white
democracy.
Judge Eugene S. Blease sounded
the keynote of the convention when
he called upon his listeners to main
tain a true white democratic state
and preserve the ideals as put forth
by such men as Wade Hampton, Ben
Tillman and others who saw the
need of preserving and maintaining
this voting right for the white Dem
ocratic party as set forth in the con
stitutional convention of 1895.
Judge Blease urged that the white
democrats of Newberry county ob
serve the rule of the white demo
cratic party, to live up to them and
do their duty in maintaining white
supremacy in this state.
In speaking of the removal of the
law for the punishment of fraud in
an election Judge Blease said “it is
an unfortunate situation. But there
is a higher law that condemns it,
there is a law of white supremacy
that condemns it, and there is a law
of honesty that condemns it.

Griffin Langford, who has com-
tiftg and as additional stands are
brought into productive condition the
annual cut of timber will increase.
The principal timber operators
within the Enoree are the Tiger
River Lumber Company, Shelton,
Chapman Lumber Company, New
berry, and Vance and Dwiggins Co.,
Newberry. The Fairfield Forest
Products company, through J. M.
Keener, General Manager, has rec
ently purichaaed 7000 cords of pulp-
wood.
Ranger Logan says that during the
past few years a large percentage of
the pine timber has been dying due
to what is called a little leaf condi
tion. The cause of this condition
has not been determined but is defi
nitely characterized by a gradual
shortening of the needle sand twigs
and finally by a discoloration arid
dropping of the needles. An effort
is being made to salvage all dying
timber for sawlogs and pulpwood as
the quality of the wood is not ef
fected until after the trees are dead.
In the Enoree a considerable acre
age of submarginal farm land was
purchased along with farm and non
farm woodland. The land so acquir
ed, which was not eroding too badly
has been kept under cultivation un
der a lease agreement with the farm
ers. There are 139 of such agricul
tural use permits including 2650
acres and 92 farm residences and
other improvements. The gross
receipts from these agricultural per
mits in the Sumter National Forest
amounted to approximately $14,500
in the last fiscal year.

present one, which ends June 30,

Another resolution opposed the re-
nomination by the Democratic party
of Franklin D. Roosevelt; another
requested the Newberry county ex

and take whatever action necessary
to place all appointive offices in the
county in the democratic primary.

On Sunday, May seventh, the Beth
any Evengelical Lutheran church in
the Oakland mill community will be
dedicated to the glory of Almighty
God, and to the service of his holy
church, in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, & of the Holy Ghost.
The pastor, the Rev. J. B. Harman,
will be in charge of the services and
the sermon. for the occasion will be
preached by Rev. Karl W. Kinard,
President of the Evangelical Syno'd
of South Carolina^ Greetings will
be brought by the Rev. J. E. Roof,
President of the Newberry county
i Lutheran conference, Mr. D. O. Car-
I penter, President of the Oakland
'plant of the Kendall mills, the Rev.
O. H. Hatchett, pastor of Lewis
Methodist church, and the Rev. Earl
Robinett, pastor of Hunt Memorial
Baptist church.
This will be a great day for the
pastor, members and friends of the
congregation. The hopes and pray
ers of many days have been realized.
At different times, since the be
ginning of this community, the ad
visability of having services for the
Lutherans was discussed, but noth
ing definite was done until the sum
mer of 1935, when the Rev. Gilbert
D. Goodman, then a theological stu
dent, by authority of the Mission
Committee of Conference began
holding services, in the Oakland
school house. When he returned to
the seminary in the fall to resume
his studies, the services were con
tinued by the Rev. E. B. Keisler, D.
D., until the spring of 1936, when the
Rev. J. C. Peery, D. D., took charge.
, Under the capable leadership of Rev.
; Peery the congregation was formally
(organized on June 10, 1936. After
the organization, this congregation
was united into a pastorate with
Summer Memorial in the MollOhon
mill community and is known as" the
Kendall Mills Lutheran parish.
For the pastor of this parish the
services of ’ the Rev. J. B. Hannan
were secured. Under his leadership,
the membership of the congregation
is nearly three times as large as it
was when he took Charge—it is now
ninety-six.
After the organization one of the
outstanding material needs of the
congregation was a house of worship.
This was felt not only by the mem
bers and the pastor of the congre
gation, but also by the Lutherans in
Newberry county and elsewhere. At
a meeting of the Newberry confer
ence at St. James, Jalapa, May 12,
13, 1937, a resolution was offered by
a layman and was adopted that the
conference would give all the sup
port possible towards the erection of
a church building for the Bethany
congregation, and on May 30| follow
ing, the Lutheran Brotherhood of
Newberry county, passed a similar
resolution. It was decided that flint
rock veneered building would be the
most suitable type of building for
different reasons. Following the ac
tion of these two bodies three com
mittees were appointed, one to look
after the gathering of the rock by
the different congregations of the
conference, one to. see . how much
lumber would be donated, and the
third to see how much money could
be secured. All of these committees
worked faithfully. Valuable assist
ance has been received from other
sources also.
The Kendall mill manifested an
interest in the work from the be
ginning. First, by giving permission
to bold services in the school audi
torium, then by giving a lot that is
ample in size and prominently lo
cated on the comer of Third street
and the extension of Nance street,
leading to the country club, and,
further, by giving valuable financial
assistance and helping in other ways
towards the bbilding. A prominent
Lutheran in Columbia gave 5,000
brick, a leading business man in New
berry, not a Lutheran, gave $100.00,
the Lutheran Women’s Society . of
S. C. gave $200, many other people
of Newberry community besides the
people of the Lutheran congregations
gave financial assistance, and many
people of the Oakland community
outside the congregation as well as
people of other communities gave
their help in the work of the build
ing, painting, wiring the building,
installing the lights, etc. There are
two other gifts that are highly
prized, also,—one -is a Pulpit Bible
given by Dr. E. B. Keisler and the
other is a Bible for the Reading
Desk by Dr. John C. Peery.
In addition to all this help was the
capable supervision and workman
ship of Mr. W. E. Koon of Chapin
and his co-workers. In connection
with the building of the Church they
have built the pews, the Altar, the
Pulpit, the Reading Stand, and the
Baptismal Font,—all according to
ecclesiastical style.
The Corner Stone was laid on
September 25, 1938 with appi-opriate
services. The speakers on that oc
casion were the Rev. E. Z. Pence, D.
D., Mrs. J. H. Summer, and Mrs. W.
B. Shealy, representing the different
organizations assisting - in the build
ing.
The building was completed in Dec
ember, 1938 and the first service was
held on Christmas day. The public

Even though the congregation had
all the valuable assistance above,it
had to borrow, 5 years ago, $1,800.00
from the Lutheran Board of Ameri

as required by the Board on the in

per year. But the members and

now was the time to get rid of the
debt, and with the co-operation of

of friends in the City of Newberry
this has been accomplished. For this
