THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. The stage for Benson’s Gulch was ready to leave Tucson. Gilbert Brad- ly hurried up the dusty street and climbed aboard just as the driver whipped the horses and the coach lurched forward. Once settled comfortably in his seat, he casually took inventory of his fellow passengers. Besides him self, the coach contained two people —a girl and a man. The girl's eyes reflected the color of the violets which trimmed her bonnet. Her dress was of gray lin en. Beneath the brim of the bon net, several curls of auburn hair escaped to flutter in the draft from the partly open window. The first thing Gil noticed about the man was his agate-hard yellow eyes. They were set close together under thick black eyebrows. The man was heavily built, with huge shoulders and hands. He wore twin gun belts crossed at his waist and the black handles of his six-guns protruded from open holsters. "Since we’re all going to Benson’s Gulcn, we'd just as well make our selves acquainted,” he said, flick ing his yellow eyes over Gil and then resting them on the girl. “I'm Mort Cass, mayor of Benson’s Gulch.” The girl’s pale face turned even whiter. Her lips quivered ever so slightly as she looked with loathing straight into the yellow eyes. "I’m Virginia Holmes. My broth er wrote me about you shortly before he died.” The two had forgotten Gil’s pres ence. "I was mighty sorry, ma’am, when your brother met his untimely end,” said Cass. “Sorry,” the girl flashed. “Wil liam was fighting you and your cor rupt friends with his newspaper. He more than hinted that if an accident befell him, yoij would be behind it. I haven't the slightest doubt that you killed my brother.” The yellow eyes narrowed grimly. "Some of those words are mighty harsh, ma’am.” “I shall print some just as harsh,” said Virginia. “You see, you didn’t stop his paper. I am going to Ben son's Guich to publish it.” Virginia Holmes settled back into her seat, turning her body to face the window. Gilbert Bradly had. been about to introduce himself, but he saw that neither of his companions was inter ested. Gil would have been the first to admit that he wasn’t an impres sive figure. He was slight, barely five and a half feet tall. His gray eyes were mild and his clothes marked him as a newcomer to the desert country. The trio rode in silence to Ben son's Gulch. Arrival of the stage was evidently an event in the town. The group of men gathered for the occasion reminded Gil of a similar band which assembled each evening to watch the train go through the Ohio village where he had spent his youth. # A nearby cafe beckoned and Gil | went in to have a cup of coffee before going to a hotel. The waiter had barely slid his brimming cup down the counter, when one of the onlookers from the stage depot took the next stool. He, too, ordered cof fee and took a deep drink before turning to GiL "Haven’t I seen you some place before?” he asked. “You look real familiar to me.” “I don’t recall meeting you,” an swered Gil. "I’m new to this sec tion of the country.” "It’s a good country, but I can’t say too much for this town.” “Don’t discourage me like that, when I’ve only been in town ten minutes,” smiled Gil. “What’s wrong with the town?” The other grunted. “You’ve met Cass was proud of his record as a gunman and a fighter. He often boasted that whoever could lick him, either on the draw or with fists, could be the next mayor. Mort Cass wouldn’t stay in a town where he had been whipped. Two men he had bested at gun play were asleep on Boot Hill, at the edge of town. The only man who had ever fought him barehand ed might as well have joined them. His broken bones had not mended properly after the beating he had received and his six-foot body was shrunken and misshapen. Virginia and Gil were making their way across the street one day to dine at the Western hotel. Cass swaggered out and moved toward them. “Well, if it ain’t the pretty school- marm turned editor and her pasty faced Don John.” Anger seethed through Gil, but he couldn’t quite help being amused at the flagrant mispronunciation. He "Sorry,” the girl flashed, friends with his newspaper. our mayor. If you don’t already know, you’ll soon find out.” By the time Gil had been in town two weeks he had made friends with Virginia Holmes and incurred the enmity of Mort Cass for that reason. Cass had learned that Gil was in Arizona because of his health and he never failed to make a remark about “lungers” when he was cer tain to be overheard by the smaller man. Gil found that not many of the townspeople liked Cass; but, one and all, they feared and obeyed him. It was common gossip in Benson’s Gulch that Cass had either fired the shot that killed William Holmes, or ordered it fired. The body of the young editor had been found in his shop one morning. A group of wild cowboys from a Cass-controlled ranch had been drinking the night before and done a lot of wild shoot ing in the town’s main street. One of the bullets had broken the glass window of the newspaper office and lodged in the owner. The coroner had given a verdict of accidental death. As Cass was all-powerful in Benson’s Gulch, no one openly questioned the verdict. ‘William was fighting you and your corrupt CROSSWORD PUZZLE Horizontal 1 Large serpent 4 Since 6 Aspect 11 Still in existence 13 Migratory winged insect 15 Earth goddess 16 Girl’s name 18 To ascend 19 Nahoor sheep 21 Carnivorous quadruped 22 French for “and” 23 Mixed together 26 Lizard 29 Mirth 31 Short jacket 33 Conjunction 34 Note of scale 35 Back 38 Ocean 39 Tree-toed sloth 40 Four 41 Excels 43 Material for paper making 45 Sheep’s cry 47 Six-legged mite 50 French article 52 Iniquity 53 Negative 56 Father of Cain 58 Former French politician 60 To perform 61 Third sign of the zodiac 63 Newspaper man 65 Water-raising apparatus 66 Compass point 67 Wrath Vertical 1 Implores 2 Beasts of burden Solution In Next Issue. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 a 10 11 ll 13 14 i5 MY m 17 m m til 19 20 ///// m 21 ///// 22 23 24 25 m 26 27 28 29 30 ////, 31 )2 VM W( J3 ■34 n 35 37 p 3^ 40 7777/ m 41 42 m m I4i 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 . 51 m m 52 m 53 34 55 56 57 W m 58 59 MY m 60 61 62 63 64 65 — 66 67 could smell liquor on Cass’ breath. The man had been drinking heavily, but was far from drunk. He pushed between Gil and Virginia. “Run along, tenderfoot,” he said. “I’ll take Virginia to dinner and see if I can’t change her opinion of me a bit.” He started to take the girl’s arm. She drew back and slapped him full across^he face. He started menac ingly toward her. “I’ll learn you to slap Mort Cass,” he said. Gil tapped him on the right shoul der. As Cass turned, Gil drove a hard left into his face. The crowd, which was beginning to gather, gave a startled gasp. Cass charged at Gil and for a moment it looked as if he would pummel him into the ground. Gil’s rapid foot work saved him. His weaving body made a poor target for the larger man’s bear-like blows. Cass soon realized that this fight was not going to result in the easy victory he had expected. He stepped back and warily eyed his adversary. Then again he charged at Gil, who eluded him. Wild cheers rang from the crowd later, when Gil stood with wide spread legs over the sprawled figure of Mort Cass. “Oh, what a lucky punch,” some one roared, as bystanders rushed to congratulate Gil. "Lucky punch, nothing,” cried a deep voice. Gil turned to face the man who had drunk coffee with him soon aft er his arrival in Benson’s Gulch. "I remember you now,” he said, taking Gil’s hand in a firm grasp. “I saw you fight once in Chicago. Recall the night you knocked out Motzi in the third round. You’re Bradly, once holder of the world’s lightweight boxing crown." 3 By 4 Feeble minded 5 Blot 6 Heavenly bodies 7 Stop! 8 Land measure 9 Retinue 10 Worm 12 Colloquial: paid notice 14 Symbol for tellurium 17 Knob 20 “Honest - - 24 Abandoned 25 Female deer 27 Young horse 28 Journey 29 Fluent 30 Molten rock 32 Back of the neck 36 Fabulous bird 37 Character in “Hamlet” 42 Hindu deity No. 33 44 Vase 46 “Remember the - - -!” 48 Proffers 49 Open space in a wood 51 Turkish title 54 Scent 55 Ripped 56 Symbol for silver 57 Lair 59 Chinese measure 62 Symbol for nickel 64 Note of scale Answer to Pnzsle Number 32 B R A K E f R 0 s T R E G E N T 0 R A T 0 R I L N <5 0 U R 1!

Although they don’t know it, usu ally this condition of being self- centered starts in childhood. As a child the person was babied by his parents. He received so much notice that when he left home he felt letdown, neglected, disillu sioned when the world didn't treat him as his parents had. So he re tired in a shell. In one office I know there was a girl who didn’t have a friend. For three months she had worked there. Not one of the other girls had paid the slightest attention to her. One day she came to me, broke down, cried, said she was miserable. “They don’t pay any attention to me,” she sobbed. "Do you pay any attention to them?” I asked. “No—no, I don’t. “Then that’s the trouble. If you want to be friendly with these girls you have to show them that you are friendly with them.” If you are living a self-centered life now, the best thing for you to do is live more with other people and show them that they are important to you. SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 1—2; 8:6-13; Matthew 3:16, 17; John 14:5-11. DEVOTIONAL READING: Psalms 40: 1-8. Better Revelation Newton Lesson for October 5, 1947 W ITH Sunday’s lesson we turn into another”field of Bible study for the concluding quarter of the year—messages from the Epistles, other Jthan those of Paul. This lesson, and the next two, are from the Epistle to the Hebrews— one of my favorite books in the Bible. The passages of study for this lesson are Hebrews 1—2; 8:6-13; with kindred passages in Mat thew 3:16, 17 and John 14:5-11: Sug gested devotional reading for the les son is Psalms 40: 1-8. The title of the lesson has refer ence, of course, to Christ—the beUpr revelation of the Son of God in his appearance to bring the father’s plan of redemption nigh unto all men. * * • The Father’s Son **/''< OD, who at sundry times and VJ in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds,” chapter 1, verses 1 and 2. “And Jesus, when he was bap tized, went up straightway out of the water; and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him; and lo a voice from heaven, say ing, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased,” Mat thew 3:16, 17. Could there be a more beautiful and impressive manifestation of God’s acknowledgment of Jesus Christ as his son? « • • Love Is the Key TN THIS better revelation of Jesui Christ, we find that love is the key that opens the door into the brightly lighted room. “The father loved the son, and hath given all things into his hand,” John 3:35. Love is the key. It is ever so with all the revelations which God makes of himself to his trusting chil dren. And this revelation of God In Jesus Christ carries the further truth that “all things” have been placed in the hands of our blessed Saviour. We read elsewhere that “all things consist in him,” which means that all things hold togeth er in him—the world itself. Jesus said, “AH power hath been given unto me, in heaven and on earth.” It is not a picture of passive love, but a picture of perfect love in ac tion, with all things committed to his administration. Again we can sing, “This is our father’s world.” • • » Christ Reveals God ■^JOT only does Christ reveal him- 1 ’ self, but also the father, for they are one. Reading now into the second chapter of Hebrews, we find these words: “God also bearing them (angels) witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to Ijjs own will.” It is God’s own will that he be revealed, and he must do the re vealing. Turn to John 14:5-11, where we read again that reveal ing incident when Jesus patiently reassured Thomas and Philip, de claring “He that hath- seen me hath seen the father.” The better revelation of God in Jesus Christ brings us far beyond the revelations of God in the Old Testament, dramatic and impres sive as they were. • • • A New Covenant T HE better revelation means "a more excellent ministry,” be cause Jesus Christ has now become “the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises,” Hebrews 8:6. The first covenant was imperfect, because it was manifest through hu manity. Only the perfect son of the perfect God could manifest the bet ter covenant. Jeremiah foresaw the better covenant. See Jeremiah 31: 31-34. Now that the better revelation Is our portion, what shall be our response? One cannot be excused today by claiming ignorance of God’s proffered salvation unto all men. He has revealed his love in the death of his only begotten son on the cross. He has revealed his love in abounding and forbearing mercies. "How shall we escape if we neg lect so great salvation?” (Copyright by the Intetnetioael Council of Religious Education on behalf of 40 Protestant denominations. Released by WNU Features.) World Wheat Stocks Reach Lowest Level Situation May Have No Effect On Consumer Prices. WASHINGTON. — The amount of wheat the principal exporting na tions were able to save from last year’s crop was the smallest in eight years, according to the agri culture department. The report, compiled by the de partment’s foreign crops and mar kets division, raised the possibility that deficit nations may have to scrape along this year with even less wheat than they had expected from this and other exporting coun tries. The situation probably also will have an effect on American con sumer prices. If world competition for wheat drives grain prices higher it will be reflected in higher domestic retail prices for meat, poultry and dairy products. The department said wheat stocks in the four main producing coun tries on July 1—start of the new crop year—were only 379 million bushels. This is eight million bush els below 1946 and the smallest July 1 stocks since 1938. In addition to the United States, the world’s major wheat-exporting countries are Canada, Australia and Argentina. Total world grain reserves on July 1 were estimated by the de partment at 49,365,000 short tons, an increase of some 20 per cent over the previous year. This was due almost entirely to a sharp rise in world corn reserves, principally in the United States. The world com carryover was estimated at 977 million bushels, an increase of nearly 50 per cent over 1946. The increase in the American carryover since has been counter balanced by hot, dry weather in the corn belt, which has cut this year’s com crop several hundred million bushels. Although this country had a record-breaking wheat harvest of 1,427,000,000 bushels, officials have all but given up hope of meeting their original export goals because of the disastrous corn failure. New Antiseptic Reported Effective for Infections BOSTON.—Perfection of a new antiseptic that kills more than 40 types of bacteria and is "as im portant as sulfa drugs and peni cillin” was announced by the Asthma Research Foundation, , Inc., of Boston, a non-profit or ganization. The germ killing solution — named glycerite of hydrogen per oxide—was discovered by Dr. Ethan Allen Brown of Boston, regent of the American College of Allergists. Dr. Brown said more than 5,000 patients afflicted with vari ous infections have been cured by the new antiseptic. He said 20 physicians, physicists, chemists and bacteriologists have used the antiseptic with uniform success for six years in private research. The antiseptic was said to be particularly effective in curing infections of the nose, mouth and throat and skin rashes and in treatment of tuberculous glands. Veteran’s Leg Is Saved By Alert Subway Employe NEW YORK.—An alert employee on a subway train in Brooklyn pulled the emergency cord of his train just in time to save a 22-year-old ex-G.I. from being crushed between a sta tion platform and one of the coaches. Police said Irving Epstein, former soldier and a student at Brooklyn college, made a dash for the train just as the doors closed, slipped and fell so that one leg was wedged be tween the train and the platform. Frank Augustinski, 32, who saw the mishap, pulled an emergency signal so that the train did not start. Man Is Freed From Prison To Begin Another Term SPRINGFIELD, MO. — Lyhue Samuel Hancock, 35-year-old Nash ville, Tenn., truck driver, who was discharged here on a writ of habeas corpus, has decided he will return to Tennessee “of my own free will” to begin a 20-year prison term. Hancock was released from the U. S. medical center here July 20, after serving five and a half years of an eight-year term, for a Dyer act violation. In February, 1942, he entered a guilty plea in federal court in Ten nessee, then was taken to a state court where he pleaded guilty to arson charges, then was turned back to federal officers. Any Port in a Storm Is Motto of Montana Pilot WINNETT, MONT. — Gary Sim mons believes that the seafaring adage of “any old port in a storm" should apply as well to airfaring. Unable to locate an emergency landing field when he was running low on gas, Simmons plunked his twin-engined plane down on a Win- nett city street, taxied five blocks te a gas station and order the amazed attendant to “fill ’er up.” After gassing up, he wheeled the plane around, taxied back to the edge of town and took off down the highway. Quick Breads Take Little Mixing Time (See recipes below.) Tempting Breads There is no aroma more appetite- provoking than that tantalizing one which comes from the oven in which bread is baking. And what is more of a treat than eating the bread it self? Piping hot muffins add interest to the simplest supper; hot coffee cake is a delight to both early and late risers, while thick and thin slices alike — as long as they are of homemade bread—make su perb sandwiches for school lunches or late snacks.
