NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1946 PER ANNUM
• Mark It “YES”
You received a few days ago a card upon
which to make known your position on the pro
posed extension of the water and sewerage
systems of the city. The town council did not
feel disposed to authorize a debt of almost
half-million dollars without some expression
from the people who must pay it. Along with
the card you received an outline of the propos
ed improvements and water and sewer exten
sions. A study of this outline shows that the
blessings of sewage disposal will be brought
within reach of almost every home in the city
and to certain sections adjacent to the city
boundary. Upon the way you mark your
card hinges the fate of this undertaking.
People who love Newberry and want to see it
grow cannot do other than mark the card
“YES” and return it at once in the envelope
provided.
The extension of water and sewage facilities
means that our returned veterans will be able
to buy and build on lots offered at reasonable
prices in new developments.
It will mean that our Negroes will be pro
vided with an accommodation for health and
convenience they have long needed.
It will mean that plumbers will get extra
business. *
It will mean that our suppliers, hardware
stores and others will sell tens of thousands of
dollars worth of bath-tubs, and sinks, pipes
and fittings.
It will mean more money for the stores of
the city from wages paid out on the big project.
And jt will mean a boost to what seems a
lagging- civic spirit among our people.
It will NOT mean a mortgage on your prop
erty, rcsAl or otherwise, as the bonds are to be
paid from plant revenue. It will NOT mean
tha* increased prices you wjll be asked to pay
for service will remain static. The hundreds
upon hundreds of homes which will take the
service as soon as it is available will make it
possible to progressively scale down service
rates. The proposed increase of 25 per cent is
based upon EXISTING service connections and
not on possible revenue from new users.
Newberry hajs outgrown its present water
and sewerage plant to such an extent that the
street sprinklers can be used only at very early
hours of the morning when water consumption
is at its lowest. The sewage disposal plant, lo
cated just outside the city is totally inadequate
to handle the large flow of sewage which en
ters it, consequently—(and plainly)—it stinksl
This MUST and will be rebuilt whether or not
the expansion program goes thru. How much
better it will be to do the whole job at one time,
goes without saying. Doing the job piecemeal
means increased taxes; without saying. Doing
it all at once means it will be paid for out of
revenue and the cost distributed over a much
larger number of people.
Look up your little card now, mark YES in
the space provided and mail it. You’ll feel
good about it when you see new homes rising
on every side to house the boys who fought
for us.

THINGS OUT AT Awful Acres
are in a pretty sorry state right
now. I had hoped to get a few
peanuts from some volunteer vines
but the weeds have grown so tick
and tall I can’t find them. I do
have a fine crop of weeds and I
hope some scientist will find that
they make good toothpaste or some
thing before frost falls.
I gathered a few knotty apples
but the blackberries were ruined
by dry weather and the jay birds
ate up my figs.
Matters at the Acres remind me
of a farmer they tell about. Light
ning struck and burned his barn;
his bull gored his one mule and
killed him and the bull in turn
broke his neck in a fence; his hogs
took cholera.and passed out and his
cow went dry. Then his wife ran
away with the hired hand—the only
thing he had to be thankful for.
At that, he was better off than I
am. My wife is still aroui.d.
There were several buildings on
the place when I bought it which
maue it at lea^t LOOK like a farm.
They were leaning hither and yon,
however, and I didn’t like them. I
wanted something modern and
streamlined. I tore them down and
with some of the lumber started a
little buijding on an eminence fac
ing a gorgeous group of red-bud
(Judas) trees. As I told you in
some former singing, I laid the floor
first and left the roof open. The roof
is still open. One of my negro
helpers left me to go to Norfolk and
build ships, the other fell over
something and came near breaking
his neck. Building operations came
to a halt and are still halted. Every
time I go out there I feel ashamed
of myself. There the little un
finished, roofless building stands
waiting, patient and uncomplaining,
to be finished. I feel ashamed be
cause it is of the warp and woof of
myself. I put something of myself
into the rafters, the studding, the
flooring; altho to present I have
not put anything of myself into the
roofing.
I pictured how I was going to
lay out there in front of the httle
house this summer and look up at
the sky and meditate upon the des
tiny of man and the stubborness of
women, and perhaps the cussedness
of both. Woe, is me. I am a man
undone. Instead of lying under my
own vine and fig tree in front of
my little house, I find myself stand
ing before a damn printing press
putting in little pieces of paper and
pulling them out, putting them in
and pulling them out, pulling them
out and putting them in.
Mhybe sometime, in fate’s own
good hour, I will be able to clasp
my Little bpilding (it’s about clasp
ing size) to my contrite bosom and
cry, “little one, your lover has come
back to you.”
In the meanwhile, give me an
other handkerchief, Jasper, this
one’s WET.
MY INTELLIGENCE service
tells me there i^.to be another dress
shop in town. If it is another
Diana Shop it can stay where it is
with my blessing. Diana Shops do
the city no good. They come in in
flush times to skim off the cream
and then leave the Ioce’ merchants
to hold the bag in hard times.
Diana Shops didn’t build our
schools, nor pave our streets. This
job was done by dress sellers such
as Ernest Carpenter, Harry Vigod-
sky, Jim Beard and others. These
men are citizens, interested in all
that is good for Newberry, and they
back up that interest with their
time and money.
Ernest and Harry and Jim are
and have been all along able to
provide our ladies with smart
dresses at moderate prices and they
will continue to do it—IF. If the
women of our town will stop and
think a little when they are moved
to buy from these New York or
Boston stores. The owners of these
stores are not interested in your
children, or your town. All they
are after is your money. This is
YOUR town and no one is going to
make it a good town except YOU.
If you give your dollars to these
stores to funnel off into northern
banks you are cutting your own
throat, for you can be darn certain
that they are not going to contri
bute to the dozens of civic activi
ties which; our local merchants
support.
You women know that I am your
friend. I love every blamed one of
you; the fat, the lean, the bow-leg
ged and the knock-kneed. So,
please, when you go to buy an
other dress to drape around your
exciting figure, give the business to
men who have made Newberry
the town we are proud of.
I WAS SOMEWHAT disturbed, as
I know you were, in reading press
dispatches about the little South
Carolina negro “God” marrying a
“pretty rich white girl.” Well, she
may be rich but she certainly isn’t
pretty. I saw her picture in Time
magazine this week. She is a sort
of horsy looking creature. As for
me, Pappy Divine can have her,
money and all, although I am sure
they will not “live happily ever af
terwards.” Those dusky angels in
pappy’s many heavens are going to
become jealous. Women, of “what
ever color, are possessive, and the
dark angels are not going to give
up pappy wiihout a struggle.
Albeit, I am sure Father Divine
will be able to handle the matter.
Great leaders in religion have
handled such matters before.
There was Abraham (Father Ab
raham). His wife objected to his
having another girl in the house
and old Abe handled the matter
with finesse and dispatch. He just
told her to get out. He put the
poor girl out in the heartless world
with only 39c and a bottle of goat’s
milk—and his best wishes, of
course. And there was no Social
Security in those, days, either!
Those old boys high up in reli
gious brackets were and are able
to get by with murder when it
comes to women, while we small
fry have to suffer on and on and
on. Why, I bet if I were to turn
my wife out and give her a
couple of dollars, she wouldn’t like
it. The only way I know of to
handle women is to become a
preacher. Printing is a confounded
poor way of making a living any
way.
ONE OF MY readers doubts a
statement here last week to the ef
fect that I know all about women.
Maybe that was a little overdrawn
but I still claim I know more than
the average male. Being a philo
sopher of mature years I can study
woman i in a detached manner
where most of you wolves would
want to bite her ear off. As a re
sult of my long stuay I have found
out one thing for sure and certain:
“the worst woman is better than
the best man’’.
I had opportnity to observe the
truth of this old saying many years
ago. I was about 16 years old at
the time, moving from place to place
setting type by hand in country
newspaper offices.
I reached Georgetown with a 5c
piece in my pocket, expecting to
meet a friend there who was a
little better heeled. My friend was
nowhere to be found and it looked
like another night in the depot. I
sauntered up Front street and the
wind from across the water cut
thru my britches which were bet
ter suited to August than Decem
ber. I spent my nickel for two
apples in the old market house and
stood by the fire and munched
them. Across Winyah bay blue
smoke from the supper fires set
tled slowly and blotted out the wa
ter and the opposite shore. The
two apples whetted my appetite
for the ham and buscuits I knew
were cooking in many homes. I was
hungry and I knew that unless
some kind Samaritan came to the
rescue cold would soon be added to
my discomfort as night was rapidly
approaching and the market man
was putting his affairs in shape to
close up shop.
I don’t know whether any of you
have even been “on the hog”. If not
I can tell you there is only one
thing to do in such a case and that
is; walk. I walked.
I have not been to Georgetown in
30 years but as well as I remem
ber the “redlight” houses were then
located at the end of Church street.
That was a long time ago and my
memory may be playing tricks.
Anyway, I found myself in front
of a row of houses, all of which
dsplayed little red lights on the
front porch. The glow of these
little lights, only a few days before
Christmas, seemed very warn and
friendly, but I walked up and
down in front of the house several
times before screwing up courage
enough to enter one of them. I did
not know much about the “bees and
the birds” at that time but I was
cold and hungry and being a bum
I guess I figured these were my
kind of people; certainly I would
never have dared to enter a high
class home i.i such manner.
The landlady, a hard-bitten old
gal, answered my rap at the door
and asked me what I wanted. I ask
ed if I could come in and sit a-
while and get warm. She jerked
her head in affirmation and I en
tered. As I followed her down the
hall I heard laughter and the music
of a player piano coming from a
room on the right. As we reached
this room she flung open the door
and motioned for me to go in,
leaving me in company with three
or four men, each with a girl.
I sat on end of a sofa next to the
fire while one of the men and his
girl sat on the other in tight em
brace, oblivious of my presence.
No one paid any attention to me
and along about midnight they be
gan to leave the room, paired as
they had been when I entered.
I stretched out on the sofa and
prepared to spend the night when
the landlady opened the door and
looked in. She closed it again and
I could hear her locking the front
door and bustling about in the hall.

McLeod In Run-off
For Governor
Dr. James McLeod of Florence,
candidate for governor who is in
the runoff for the State’s highest
office, expressed his appreciation
to the citizens of South Carolina
for their support given him in the
First Democratic primary and ap
pealed to them to again study his
platform, in which he advocates,
“better government and a better
place in which to live.” «
In his statement, Dr. McLeod
said;
“I deeply appreciate the confi
dence and trust shown by the many
thousands of my friends and the
friends of good gvernment who
voted for me in the first Demo
cratic Primary.
“I have fought a clean fight; I
have not dealt in personalities; I
have stuck to the facts.
“I shall continue to follow the
same policies during the remain
der of the campaign. It is my be
lief that the people of this state are
tired of hypocrisy, of platitutes and
of false promises.
“I am confident they will avail
themselves of the opportunity they
now have to adopt the program of
action as set forth in my publish
ed platform.”
Dr. McLeod appealed to the citi
zens to join him in his program to
“bring better government to South
Carolina and make it a better place
in which to live.”

BULLOCK-HOWARD
MARRIAGE SOLEMNIZED
In a setting of white gladioli,
palms, and candelabra, Miss Mar
jorie Howard was marxied to Paul
Frick Bullock in beautiful Reforma
tion Church last Friday evening,
July 26, at 7 o’clock. Pastor Roy
L. Sloop performed the impressive
double-ring ceremony.
Prior to the ceremony, a musical
program was given by Miss Mary A.
Weidley, organist of the church, and
Miss Joy Cunningham who sang
“Until” and “Because”.
To the strains of the Lohengrin
Bridal Chorus, the bride entered
on the arm of her uncle, Arthur O.
Morton, who gave her in marriage.
Her gown was of white silk eye
let organdie and net, fashioned with
fitted bodice and bouffant skirt.
Her finger-tip veil of illusion fell
gracefully from a tiara of seed
pearls, and she carried a clustered
bouquet of white gladioli with an
orchid center. She wore a necklace
of pearls, the gift c.f the groom.
Miss Doris Howard, maid of
honor, to her sister, wore a gown
of pink satin and marquisette with
a shoulder veil of pink net. Her
bouquet was of pink roses and blue
delphiniums.
Bridesmaids were Miss Cleo Ho
ward, cousin of the bride, from
Hamstead, N. C., and Miss Vir
ginia Ledbetter of Marion, N. C.
Both wore gowns of blue net and
lace with short shoulder veils of
blue net. Miss Howard’s bouquet
was of Talisman roses and Miss
Ledbetter’s, of yellow roses.

Mr. and Mrs. Bullock will return to
Washington where they will be at
home to then' friends at 1113 Mas
sachusetts Avenue, N. W., Washing
ton, D. C.
TAXES CUT
TENMILLS
The county delegation has an
nounced a 10 mills reduction on
taxes due in October. This cut
will be readily noticeable on the
1946 tax bills. This ten mills
leaves the county only 22 mills for
all purposes—16 mills for the re
duction of debt accumulated in the
free spending days of the late 20’s
and 6 mills for ordinary county
expenses, including salaries, roads,
county hospital, schools and other
miscellaneous expenses. County
taxes are said now to be the lowest
in a quarter of a century.
The delegation found it possible
to make the reduction without re
sorting to a surplus which has been
accumulating for the past few
years. The delegation hopes to use
this surplus in liquidating bonded
indebcedness when and if outstand
ing bonds are offered for pur
chase. The holders of these 5 and
6 per cent bonds are reluctant to
part with them as no other such
investments are procurable at this
time. To partially offeet the in
terest in bonded indebtedness the
delegation js investing its surplus in
government securities.
87 YEARS AGO
(FROM THE RISING SUN)
Williams and Ferguson ran a
store in 1859 at No. 2 Mollohon
Row, which must have been some
where about where “Foots” Clary
now operates. They advertised
among other things:
“French Extracts for the hand
kerchief.
“Pokade Divine Lip Balm.
“A large lot of fine kerosene oil.
“A large lot of celebrated con
centrated lye, so much used in the
manufacture of soap. Directions in
each package.’’
“NOTICE. Application will be
mhde to the next session of the
legislature for the incorporation
of Bethlehem church (Lutheran) in
Newberry district, S. C.”
“For Sale, a valuable girl, about
18 years old. She is a very good
plain seamstress, quick at learning
needle work, and would become
after some instruction, an excellent
needle-woman. Inquire at the Ris
ing Sun office.”
“I hereby forewarn all persons
irom trading for a note, made pay
able to / S. A. McCrackin, amount
two hundred dollars, date August
15, 1859, due one day after date,
and signed by myself and Frederick
Jonhson, as I am determined not
to pay said note unless compelled
by law, as the consideration for
which it was given has proved un
sound. Jacob Suber.”
