Newberry Mills Sold To Eastern Interests Controlling interest in the New berry Cotton Mill was sold here Friday by a committee representing a large majority of the stockholders to M. M. Olairmont of New York City. The price per share has not been publicly announced but it is reported that it is in the neighbor hood of two and a half times the par value. Mr. Clairmont is an experienced textile operator and already owns controlling interest in a textile mill in Georgia. The Newberry Cotton Mill began operation in 1884 and was organized under a legislative charter, granted in 1882. The organized capital stock of around $300000 was after wards increased to $500,000 and la ter increased to $1,000,000. A large majority of the stock is owned by people residing in Newberry county. No one person has ever had the control of a majority of the stock. The Newberry Cotton Mill is an old established institution of New berry and most of its employees were born in Newberry and New berry county, Saluda and Lexington counties. Many of the present em ployees are grandchildren of the first employees. R. L. McCaughrin was the prime mover in the organization of the mill and continued to be president until his death. He was succeeded by T. J. McCrary and upon his death, Z. F. Wright was elected president and has continued to serve as such until the present time, dur ing a period of about foi’ty years. During only a few years has the mill failed to pay a dividend to its stockholders. In recent yeai-s it has consistently paid at least six per cent per annum. The present board of directors is composed of Mr. Wright, Z. F. Wil son, Albert J. McCaughrin, a grand son of the founder, Dr. S. J. Der rick, Dr. R. W. Houseal, W. ^gloan Chapuran, Frank L. Bynum and A. J. Bowers, Jr. The new management will assume charge at an early date. The rela tionship between management and operatives has been unusually pleas ant. The mill village is one of the best in this section. Located in its midst are three progressive church organizations, representing the Methodist, Lutheran and Baptist denominations. The West End school also is located in the village and is connected with the Newberry City School system. The village also boasts a lovely park and a modern and well equipped club house. While many of the people of New berry regret to see the mill pass be yond local control they will extend a hearty welcome to the new owner.

Iwo Jima, ti desolate pile of rocks and volcanic ash, was the island the Japs were positive would not fall The battle for * 1 Iwo and its flag rais ing have been inked into the history books as highlights in the Pacific war. The famous raising picture, “shot” atop Mount Suribachi while fighting still raged at fever pitch, has become a legendary symbol to both the Marine Corps and the Am erican people. The official flag raising which took place March 14 did not, however-, mark the end of fighting. Far from it. It was after this event that Ma rines began the arduous task of flushing Japs from honey-combed caves, going into exterminate the enemy one by one. • The flag raising marked the es tablishment of victory in the cam paign credited with breaking the back of Japanese resistance.

Because the food shortage in Europe and Asia has de veloped into an international crisis far worse than was indicated three months ago, drastic measures are being taken by our government. Every citizen must help prevent mass starvation in the rest of the world. In this emergency it is the duty of every American family to (1) cut food waste, eat less wheat pro- duts, fats, and oils and substitute foods that are plentiful; (2) pro duce) and preserve food at home by raising victory gardens. Victory gardens this year will help in feeding strving people abroad and assuring adequate sup plies here at home. Last year’s 18,- 400,000 home gardens turned out tremendous quantities of vegetables and fruits. The goal for 1946 must be even better if possible. President Truman says, “The ur gent need for food from this country emphasizes the importance of con- einued effort to add to our total food supply this year. A continu ing program of gardening will be of great benefit to our people.” In view of the worldwide shortage, the Secretary of Agriculture has planned a National Garden Confer ence, March 26-28, in Washington, D. C., so that national garden lead ers may plan a unified garden pro gram for the national welfare. VFW Meets Tonight H. B.

EDNA H. FEAGLE, County Director of DPW: “Not only should they extend it to the suburban area, but should require all residents in side the city to have water and sew er; this should be done for the sani tation and help raise standards of living in our community.” MRS. W. B. GOGGINS, Saleslady: “I think it would be mighty nice, but whether it would be practical or not I couldn’t say.” MRS. P. O. WICKER, Seamstress: “Yes, I do. I think it would help make Newberry grow and would bring new people and more indus tries.” J. M. WILSON, P. O. Clerk: “I think it should be extended to the corporated limits and especially in the colored districts of the city.” ERNEST LAYTON, Merchant: “I don’t see why they couldn’t. I think it would make a better New berry, and they should especially take care of the colored districts.” E. B. PURCELL, President of Nby. Ins. and Realty Co.: “No, be cause we have quite a bit of proper ty and dwellings in the city limits that should be taken care of before any further extensions are consider ed.” JOHN PETERSON, Tax Col. As sistant: “Yes, I think it would im prove the town and would also en courage new industries.” JAKE WISE, County Health Of ficer: “If they are financially able, I would endorse it heartily, but first it should be* extended to areas in the city that do not have this ser vice.” LONNIE W. FRANKLIN, Door keeper of House of Rep., Washing ton, D. C. “Why shouldn’t they—they have rural electrification which has already improved the areas around Newberry. It would encourage new industries to come here if they were sure they would have this service outside of town.” MAJOR and MRS. B. A.
