Kinard Tells Striking Students He’s No Miracle Worker When Pre; ident James C. Kinard of Newberry College returned tt> tne campus Tuesday afternoon from a busines strip out of the state he found what he termed the most un usual situation he had faced in his sixteen years as president. Said he, “One may well imagine my sur prise when upon my return I learn ed that the boarding students of ihe college had called a strike, re fusing either to go to the boarding hall or to meet classes, that the news had been sent out by the lo cal correspondent of one of the press services who admitted to me upon investigation that the information had come from an anonymous source. More startling than the news itself was my discovery that a reporter would risk a thing like that. The Associated Press repre sentative, by the way, verified the story with me before releasing it.” Dr. Kinard went on to say that the College had been in operation for two weeks and not a single stu dent had brought to him a com plaint about the boarding hall. To a reporter for The Sun he stated, “The strike itself, called during my absence, was the first intimation 1 had of dissatisfaction with the boarindg hall.” Wednesday morning at the regu lar chapel hour President Kinard read a statement to the students, in his remarks he stated that although no rtudent was under any compul- sir to attend Newberry College as long as he did so he would be re quired to meet the conditions neces sary to warrant his enrolrrtent. He went on to say that the College would continue its normal opera tions for the benefit of those who desired to continue their college education. , After his conference with the boarding students, following the chapel hour, the students appointed a committee to confer with the presi dent on their grievances and voted to return to classes and to the board ing hall. So the College is operat ing normally, all casses are meet ing regularly and die College acti vities continue. Asked for a statement about the grievances of the students, Dr. Ki nard said: “In the mass meeting the discussion seemed to center around compaint about the management of the boarding hall and the shortage of sugar and meat on the menusi 1 told the students that I had no Ala- din’s lamp with which to promiste to perform magic but that I would place at their disposal every facil ity of the College to remove as quickly and so far as humanly pos sible any cause of justifiable com plaint.” He said further that it seemed to him that the cause of the disturbance were so comparatively simple it would not be a difficult matter to adjust the differences quickly and satisfactorily. MRS. ELLEN K. HALFACRE Mrs. Ellen Kate Samples Halfacre, 23, wife of Coleman S. Halfacre passed away Monday afternoon at Newberry county hospital. She had been jll for a hsort time.

NOTICE FOR LETTERS OF ADMINISTRATION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, COUNTY OF NEWBERRY. By GENEVA T. D. WORKMAN, Probate Judge. WHEREAS, Gladys Conrad Nickles hath made suit to me to grant her Letters of Administration of the Estate and effects of Leila Kidd Conrad, deceased. THESE ARE THEREFORE, to cite and admonish all and singular the Kindred and Creditors of the said Leila Kidd Conrad, deceased, that they be and appear before me, in the Court of Probate, to be held at Newberry, S. C., on October 3, (1946) next, after publication hereof, at 10 o’clock in the forenoon, to show cause, if any they ha$e, why the said Administration should not be granted. GIVEN under my hand this 14th day of September, Anno Domini, 1946. GENEVA T. D. WORKMAN, Probate Judge, Newberry County Local Drafts Boards Move To Court House Chairman of the local Selective Service Boards, 58 and 59, Jake R. Wise, announce^ that the local of fice expects to move from the Ex change building on or about the 15 of October, to the office oppo site the Supervisor’s office on the ground floor of the court house. The quarters now occupied by the draft boards have been leasW. by the newly-organized New berry County Bank. Newberry County Did Request Road Aid Press dispatches some days ago stated that Newberry county had not requested aid for state-main tained roads. This was untrue as shown by the following letter writ ten to the Highway department on July 24 by Representative Aubrey Harley, clerk of the county legisla tive delegation; Hon. J. S. Williamson, Chief Highway Comm. Calhoun Office Building Columbia, South Carolina Dear Mr. Williamson: At a meeting of the Newberry county legislative delegation held on July 23, 1946, it was unani mously agreed to request the highway department to hard sur face the Bethel-Garmany road and also what we call the St. Paul’s church road, which is a road from U. S. Route 76 near overhead bridge east of Prosperity to Po maria. According to your letter of July 2, 1946, it was estimated that the first road, the Bethel-Garmany road, would cofet approximately $70,000 and that the St. Paul’s church road would cost approxi mately $55,000. As you know, we had hoped to be able to hard sur face the Jolly Street road, and since the money allotted Newber ry county is more than the approxi mate cost of the two above men tioned roads, we request that what ever balance is left be held for the purpose of hard surfacing the Jolly Street road. Very truly yours, (Signed) R. Aubrey Harley. The selection of the two roads to be paved was made by the dele gation after studying the situation over the entire county, checking the travel on the roads, and also taking into consideration the ex penditure to be made. It is esti mated that it will take about $10,- 000 to pave one mile, and where bridges are to be constructed, the cost would jump tremendously. The two roads to be paved nave no bridges, and would give the county maximum paving. The Mt. Bethel-Garmany road is approximately 7 1-2 miles in length while the St. Paul road is approxi mately 5 1-2 miles. Dr. Myron J. Rones Succeeds Dr. Bigby Dr. Myron J.

Many people who take a drink or two get loud and unruly and make things mighty unpleasant for other spectators. I’d like to see this sort of thing stopped, and feeling as I do, I’m going to have to sentence Mr. Hutchinson to eighteen months at hard labor on the chaingang or in the state penitentiary.” Hutchinson went on trial Thurs day charged with assault and bat tery with intent to kill in connec tion with a fight at Nardin Field on the night of July 20. R. L. Weathers was badly cut, and J. B McClure and Sam Harbin slightly injured. Hutchinson claimed Weathers started the fight and that he slashed out with his knife in self- defense. Weathers, on the other hand, testified the first he knew about impending trouble was when Hutchinson came up behind him and hit him on the head. After the verdict was returned by the jury, R. L. Ballentine served notice of an appeal for a new trial. He later abandoned the ap peal and requested Hutchinson be placed on probation. Judge Griffith shook his head. “I may be wrong,” he said, “but I have a feeling in my heart about this case. I’m certanly not gong to do anything to encourage such conduct at a baseball park or any place else.” FATHER OF NEWBERRIAN PASSES IN LEXINGTON D. P. Adams, 76, father of Mrs. C. B.
