TELEPHONE ONE IF YOU HAVE VISITORS OR ANY OTHER NEWS ITEM THANK YOU VOL. 9; NO. 28 NEWBERRY. SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1946 ALL KINDS OF COMMERCIAL PRINTING AND ENGRAVING PHONE NO. ONE $1 PER ANNUM MY NEIGHBOR Judge Blease used to have a garden, but since John Wilson moved into the neigh borhood, his plot has been given over to the weeds. Judge wasn’t much of a gardener but nature nud ged him aside and grew some pret ty godd stuff in spite of him and I occasionally got some of it. Now the job of feeding both the Judge and me has fallen upon John. We are eating his collards right now. I pro moted a little piece of pork about the size of your thumb to season mine with and it was pretty good eating. I always refer to the Judge as “my neighbor.” Not every one is priv ileged to live next door to the for mer chief justice of the Supreme court and perhaps the best lawyer in the State. I recall an instance when I cashed in on being his neighbor. Pick Salley had just come to town and I called on him about a little loan. Pick, didn’t know me, and while I related to him how hon est I was he clamped on his most forbidding frown, and I saw I was gettinf. nowhere. Suddenly I had an inspiration. “Mr Salley,” I said, straightening up and throwing out my chest, “Mr Salley, I am a neigh bor of Judge Blease!” “Oh, so you’re a neighbor of Judge Blease?” He held up two fingers and Johnnie Norris came running with a box which he sat before me. “Just help yourself,” said Mr. Sal ley. “Don’t take those old crumpled bills—take the new ones! Are you sure six dollars will be enough?” I pocketed the money and pre pared to leave. “Just a minute,” said Mr. Salley, placing before me a little slip of paper on which was some printing. “We would like to have you sign this; not that it matters. We would just like to have your signature in our bank.” With a feeling of renewed confi dence and well-being I went out into the street. At the Sears, Roe buck corner I met Ned Purcell. “O, hello there,” he said. “Come over here, I want to see you a minute.” “Just come from the bank, eh? Well, well, I was just wondering if you could let me have that $6 you have been owing me since last July.” “But I haven’t got $6. Mr. Salley took out 9c for interest.” “Oh, that’s all right,” replied the genial personal banker. “You can pay the other 9c next week. We always try to arrange payments to suit our customers.” You can’t win, neighbors, you simply can’t win! MEASURING FOR A HEMLINE.

Cause of total loss: unwillingness of fire hydrant to cooperate.” Commissioner Willingham fiddled with his watch chain. Commis sioner Lominack gazed at the floor, while Commissioner Reid seemed fascinated over the "whirling blades of the ceiling fan. The Chief Commissioner droned on; “Fire in Bush River Circle. Starvation Hill, night of August 3. Damage: one hen house. Cause of complete loss; lack of cooperation from fire hydrant.” Commissioner Willingham woke up, looked inquiringly around, re crossed his legs and went back to sleep. The Chief Commissioner contin- ued to read: “Conflagration in Chinch Bug Row. Damage; 8,907 chinches. Cause of complete loss: stubbomess of fire hydrant. Taving finished his recital of spe cific instances where fire hydrants had refused to work with firemen, the Chief Commissioner turned to the three Commissioners. “Gentle men,” he began, “our fire hydrants have been imposed upon so long by the dogs of the city that they have lost all self respect. They simply refuse to work any longer.” Commissioner Willingham, now fully awake, was writing feverishly on a piece of paper. “Your Honor, Mr. Chief Commis sioner,” he said, rising to his feet. “Your Honor, I have a resplution which I hope will be of some help in this matter.” “Say on, Commissioner,” said the Commissioner. “Ahem!” “WHEREAS, the lives and prop erty of our citizens have, is and|or been threatened by the refusal of fire hydrants to cooperate; and Whereas, something should certain ly be done about it, NOW, be it re solved by the Commissioners in solemn assembly that from this date forward any fire hydrant being and situated ,in the town of Newberry, the county of Newberry, the State of South Carolina, shall, at its own discretion and without further auth ority from this body, tum upon any dog of whatever breed and wet said dog, it being the opinion of this body that turn about is fair play.” The four grim-faced Commission ers walked out into the early dawn, having wrestled with the problem all night. An old hound loped by, turning a blood-shot eye on the Commission ers. He made for a nearby firs hy drant, sniffed it several times, look ed again at the Commissioners, then trotted off. ■ “Gentlemen,” said the Chief Com missioner, “I believe our labors have not been in vain.” SPEAKING OF LIVING EX PENSES, which most people are these days, I want to tell you how amazingly cheap you can live if you have to. I mean, of course, in the matter of dollars and cents. I don’t intend to give you any recipes. I was married in 1916, during the first world war, thus prolonging the war. A state of peace wasn’t offi cially declared until my wife and myself quit fighting. Just a bit of history. Now back to economics. After paying off the $5 I borrow ed to pay the magistrate for mar rying us, we moved to Charlotte, N. C., where I took a job paying $15 a week. Prices were skyrocketing; eggs a dollar a dozen, butter a dol lar and a quarter, and meat simply out of the question. Yet we lived, or at least, we existed, on that $15. We had two small upstairs rooms with one of the saints of this eartn. Incidentally she was an aunt of Jim Beard of this city. This godly lady allowed us to move downstairs into her parlor for the great event—the birth of Connie. Connie cost us $25 and I borrowed that $25 from a “poor man’s bank” then located in a building next to the Selwyn hotel I paid it back 50c a week. An old pagan endorsed my note after I had been refused by the superintendent of my Sunday school. From that day I have loved sinners and have worked hard at being one myself. I walked a mile four times a day to earn that $15 a week. I had no overcoat for winter nor car fare for summer. I smoked Golden Grain tobacco and used itw sparingly. Prices continued to soa*and more babies were knocking at the door. I suppose I was a brave man, or maybe just plain dumb, because looking back I do not remember that I considered it a hardship. I was proud of my babies and will ing to work for them. My love for my kids was intensified by poverty, and I sometimes think I am unreas onable when it comes to matters af fecting them adversely. I am sure that a lot of dissention in families today springs from easy living. When kids are brought up in hardship along with mother and dad a bond is formed which lasts through life. I have had the love ot my kids in all stages of their lives and although • I had no money, I know of nothing I could have bought half so precious. When I depart this whistle-stop for whatever lies ahead I will go contented—serene in the knowledge that sometime way out yonder in the future my kids will remember, pause and sigh: “Pretty good old goat, was Dad”. Yes, you can live cheaply if you have to. It isn’t pleasant but it’s the price we have to pay for being Democrats. I WANT “JINX” COOPER out at WKDK to play for me m his Night Watch, Watch Tower, Watch Dog, or whatever he calls it, “Hills of Oklahoma.” There is some lilting lines in that piece which suits my romantic moods . . . “Way Down yonder in the Indian Nation; Gon na ride my pony on the reservation”, etc., etc. When memory keeps me com pany with the days when I was a sandhill cowboy up in old Chester field country, I picture myself on my pony loping over them thar Ok lahoma hills, grabbing a dirty In dian gal and making off to the deep woods, the forest primeval, spurring my horse and laughing wildly at the protesting maid. Deep in said primeval forest, I would tie my horse to a bush and push deeper and deeper into the dark woods. Out there in the deep woods, far from hooman habitation HORSE SHOW SET FOR NEXT THURSDAY, 14TH The Newberry Horse Show will be presented at the Newberry Fair grounds on Thursday evening, No vember 14th at 7:30 o’clock, spon sored by the American Legion Post No. 24. The ring will be amply lighted, and the show will consist of twelve to fifteen classes, with 15 to twen ty entries.

Carolina Ramblers will put on a show starting at 8 p. m. Barbecue supper starts at 6 p. m. 8-ltp Jimmy DeHart of Spartanbuig spent the weekend in the home of his mother, Mrs. Lola DeHart on McSwain street. I would pop the question men have popped to gals since frontier days. The question? Oh, I just wanted to know if In dian snake oil would really cure rhumatism? NEIGHBORS, I stuck my long neck out in grand style last week. You will remember a bit of singing here about my chrysantnemums? I said I had what I thought to be a new variety. Well, a few hours af ter the paper came out, Mrs. John Waldrop drove up at the Crest to see the new specimen. It wasn’t new at all, she had it in her own garden. Mrs. Waldrop, who lives on Wal nut street, invited me to go with her for a peek at her own garden. If it had not been for my love of pretty flowers I would have turned ’round and gone home at the first glimpse of her gorgeous blooms. My puny little mums made me asham ed when I had been Mrs. Waldrops. I am not going to attempt to describe Mrs. Waldrop’s flowers. I know she will be glad to show them to flower lovers. Mrs. Waldrop agrees with me that there should be a garden club here, and I was wondering what with the new radio station such a club couldn’t be organized and the best informed of the membership talk about flowers from time to time over the air. This country with the biggest and best of most everything, is sadly behind Europe in the mat ter of beautiful gardens. Thanks, Mrs. Waldrop, for a look at ypur pretty flowers, for the gor geous vase of mums, and for the plantings. WRITTEN FLEAS?

Army who served honorably after September 16, 1940 and who were discharged on or after May 12, 1945 may enlist in the Enlisted Reserve Corps ir. the grade held at time of discharge, provided they are physically qualified and such enlistment is effected within six months from date of discharge or prior to July 1, 1947, whichever is the later date. COLOR TELEVISION MAKING PROGRESS Television in color has now cast off its mechanical gadgets to blos som forth in an all-electronic sys tem. At least in the laboratory. At Princeton, N. J., yesterday in the laboratories of RCA there was newly developed method. What’s more, it projected images on a 15 by 20-inch screen. Maybe not the best in the world, it was indicative of an important step in television development, which the engineers insist will re quire five years more to bring to the status of the black and white telecasts of today. Commissioned officers of the Army of the United States who did not accept appointment in the of ficer reserve corps at time of re lease from active duty may make application for a reserve commis sion for the highest grade held at time of release from active duty, provided they served honorably, were not separated for unsatisfac tory service, and provided that ap plication is made within six months from date of release from active duty or prior to July 1, 1947, whichever is later. Application forms and complete information may be obtained at any Army Re cruiting office. SPONSOR OLD TIME PARTY You can’t afford to miss this one.

London, Nov. 5.—Russian geophy sicists have drilled a hole 20 miles into the earth with an electric drill, the Moscow radio said today. “The successful experiments near Leningrad show that electric drill ing down to 30 or 40 kilometers (19 to 25 miles) can be achieved in two days,” the radio said. “Until now, if it were at all possible, this would have taken several years.” The radio did not specify wheth er experiment was aimed directly at oil or other mineral discoveries.

She expects to be a patient there sev eral weeks, _ _ _ _ Racketeers Routed (By O. F. ARMFIELD) America can hold its head higher today! The Republican victory of Tues day was a triumph over the most unscrupulous administration ever to be-devil and brow-beat the Ameri can people. The real heart of America has spoken, and kicked in to discard the black forces of crook edness, cussedness and incompe tence. From a party which has always stood for equal and exact justice to all without special privilege to any, the Democratic party has been cor rupted by the Roosevelt and Tru man administrations until it is a stench in the nostrils of liberty- loving peoples. The Democratic party has become the refuge of Communist, radical labor leaders and domineering bu reaucrats, seeking to regiment and regulate the lives of every individ ual American. With a packed Su preme court the New Deal has so prostituted the Constitution that it has oecome a bastard without form or purpose, except to clear the way for railing radicals and patronage grabbers. Their-only care is to get their hoggish nostrils deeper into the pork barrel and impoverish the working men and women of this great nation. The New Deal has exploited the government of this county without mercy, without shame, without any other motive than the most selfish, sordid, unpatriotic greed. To fatten and entrench themselves has al ways been their first consideration. The Republican victory is the more remarkable in view of the in fernal art and thoroughness with which the New Deal had sunk its roots into every phase of American life with billions of dollars of tax payer’s money. Tragic to contemplate is the fact that our Southland had no part in the great victory of Tuesday. The South is the tail on a mangy, poli tical cur and seems destined to re main such, bossed by spouting par ty stalwarts; taken out of cover when needed and laid back in the closet when their purposes have been served. The American people want only to be left alone; to enjoy what they have worked for; they do not want their substance distributed by hypo critical devils to leaf-raking bums. It is to be hoped that the real Democrats now see their error in turning over the party to grasping bosses in return for patronage. The party is needed as a check but it has a lot of purging to do before it will ever again win respect from our people. North or South, Roose velt was no more Democrat than he was an angel. And certainly he was not the latter. Roosevelt felt no responsibility to the Democratic party; no respect. Nc* one respects a cringing dog. Subservient, fawn ing, he kicked it around and made sport of it. The mare’s nest of Washington bureaucracy has been scattered. Its spawn of little men will shortly re turn to their little occupaions. New berry will add half-dozen of the most sordid to its population. DISTRICT GOVERNOR VISITS LOCAL ROTARY The Rotary club of Newberry to morrow (Friday) will welcome John V. Brookshire, Governor of the 190th District of Rotary International, which includes 43 Rotary Clubs in South Carolina. Mr. Brookshire, is manager Spartanburg district, Duke Power company and is a member of the Spartanburg Rotary club. He will visit the local club to ad vise and assist President Dave Caldwell, Secretary Hal Kohn, Sr., and other officers of the club on matters pertaining to club admini stration and Rotary service activi ties. PFC. JAMES DAVID LUTHER, JR., of Prosperity, a member of the U. S. Marine corps is now on ter minal leave until December 16, af ter which he will receive his dis charge from the Camp Lejeune, N. C. separation center, after being a member of the Marine Corps since January 19, 1945, A triumphant, revitalized GOP has wrenched control of both House and Senate from Democratic hands in an overwhelming election victory that ordained major changes with in the American government. The Republicans elected at least 23 senators, 232 representatives, and 20 governors. That gave them three more than a majority in the Senate, 14 beyond a majority in the House, and a man in no less than 25 state- houses of the nation. The conquest brought from Demo cratic Senator J. William Fullbright of Arkansas a suggestion that Presi dent Truman name a Republican is Secretary of State and then resign in his favor. Mr. Truman, back in Washington from Missouri, where he voted, had no comment on the suggestion—nor on the election results themselves. If this off-year election means as muc has those •* the past, the Re publicans would take over the White House anyway in 1948. Republicans hit the political jack pot for the first time in 15 years. With their winnings, they prom ised to cut individual* income taxes 20 percent in 1947, lop perhaps $10,- 000,000,000 off government spending, balance the budget, revoke the presidential war powers and under take a number of Investigations. Millions of people abviously fed up w ; '.h controls, strikes and short ages, gave them an irresistible “yes” to their “had enough?” campaign slogan ... a landslide vote that toppled Democratic strong men from Massachusetts to California and even crunched into the edge of the still “solid South.” GROW YOUR OWN FRUIT by Planting Early Bearing Fruit Trees.
