In the high school the course in Bible study will be accredited toward graduation on the same basis as other elective units. Bible will be taught as a prac tical spiritual guide in the ev eryday life of the student. No denominational issues will be discussed and the classes will be open to those students whose parents signify their desire for such instruction. The teacher, duly certified by the State Board of Education, will be carefully selected knd elected by the Board of Trus tees. As the State of South Caro lina makes no provisions for the salary of a teacher of Bible in the public schools, the Newber ry Council of Church Women has assumed the financial obli gation of providing such a teacher. It is expected that if suffi cient funds can be raised, Bible courses will be provided in all schools in Newberry. MRS. LILLIE STOCKHAN Mrs. Lillie Mills Stockman, 53, wife of Pat A.

In March, 1946, a large ware house, a few cases of groceries, and two persons constituted a new concern in Newberry — Spotts Wholesale Grocery. In August 1947, that same warehouse, 40 by 75 feet, is so packed with supplies that there is hardly room to get the mer chandise in and out; and in stead of the original two, Foster Spotts and Thomas E. Long shore, the Spotts Wholesale Grocery now has eight em ployees and anticipates several more in the near future. Mr. Spotts, owner and man ager, has been in the whole sale grocery business for some 20 years. He decided two years ago that although merchandise was hard to get, the time was opportune to open a new estab lishment of this kind in New berry—and his hunch has evi dently paid off, judging from the growth of his organization over the past 17 months. The wholesale concern is lo cated at 1732 Harris street— where the Spotts home stood for many generations, before it burned several years ago.
