NEARLY EVERYBODY IN NEWBERRY SEES • THE SUM re* ,r n TELEPHONE ONE IF YOU HAVE VISITORS OR ANY OTHER NEWS ITEM THANK YOU VOL. 10; NO. 9. NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA. FRIDAY. JULY 4. 1947 $1:50 PER ANNUM I drug out the old Cat today to write you poor people some thing about a new store here called the Martha Parks shop. I may have a few other remarks to fill out the column, but pri mary I want to tell you good women of Newberry that this Martha outfit has never con tributed one cent to building your fine streets and sidewalks; not a red brownie has it con tributed to your outstanding high school. The fine park and playground w’hich your children enjoy were not built by Martha. Martha comes to Newberry AFTER local, civic-minded men have built the city. Martha comes to skim off the cream and gives not a damn about you and yours. Just stop and think, you women who buy clothes. What would our town be if ALL the stores were of the Martha type? Who would maintain your serv ices, your churches, parks, side walks? This is a free country and Martha has a right to come to Newberry; likewise we still have a semblance of a free press and it is my right and privilege to warn you that if such places as the Martha shop and the Diana shop succeed here others will follow until you will not have a single home-owned store. Then see what happens! Will they keep up your parks and playgrounds, marry your young and bury your dead? You know well they won’t! Be sensible and spend your money with the men who have contributed over long years to your health ana happiness. was in the long, long ago, e* I War clouds gathered our~fair country and I paid state of North Carolina $2 ake it respectable for me a certain little 17-year-old a live together in the same > ... at night . . . with the i out . . . and the blinds n. just a few weeks it will be »ars.

But, I am about ready to agree with Judge Blease that we think more of our grand children that we did of our own children. I am frank to tell you that the little fellows have done something to this sin-scared old heart of mine. When I look into their faces, so lately out of the infinite, and count the years between them soul me and all that must hap pen to them in those year, I wonder if life is worth what it costs. The little fellows come here with gas on their bellies and as totering old men and women, go out the same way; they will be hurt time and again by others, now only babes, Marriage Licenses Issued For June James Colie Shealy and Joye Elizabeth Dowd, Prosperity.
