By The Way - - - Since one of our local citi zens has become a movie actor, the space of this column is given up this week to his story, released by the South Carolina commission of forestry and the U. S. Forest Service. Mr. Wiseman’s picture in the costume described below ap peared in Sunday’s issue of the Greenville News. Last week Jimmy Wiseman owner of the Wiseman Hotel and Newberry Bus Lines, learn ed that a “handle-bar” mus tache, a beard, a pair of old overalls and a worn out straw hat had turned him into a complete stranger to Newberry folks he has known for many years. He discovered this after film director Richard H. Ly- ford went to work with theatri cal make-up to prepare him for a leading role in the cooperative Southern State Foresters’—U. S. Forest Service color motion pic ture on woods fires which is being filmed near Newberry. Mr. Wiseman laid the founda tion for this transformation by allowing his beard to grow for one week. Folks were baf fled by his disregard for the razor since there was definitely no shortage of razor blades in town. He was forced to ex change his traditional cigar for a corn cob pipe. In a five- minute gluing operation, Mr. Lyford adorned Mr. Wiseman’s upper lip with a “Wild Bill” type mustache which would have taken five years to grow. A little jumping on his straw sun hat added a few appropri ate holes and made it look three years old. A fancy job of crawling on the ground quickly aged his overalls. As the camera crew was load ing equipment, Wiseman wan dered out on the street amid the curious stares of passing people. He walked up to a police officer who was standing on Main Street and barked, “Where’s the city jail?” The officer gave him a double glance, pointed to the jail, and turned to direct traffic. Then Mr. Wiseman asked if the jail- house cots were equipped with Beautyrest mattresses. Just as the officer was on the verge of personally escorting this fresh character to the jail, Mr. Wiseman made himself known. J. H. Clary’s clothing store was Wiseman’s next “target”. Here he asked for “a pair of black high ankle button shoes and spats.” When the puzzled clerk, Sidney Hare, explained that they didn’t carry them in stock, Mr. Wiseman demanded to see the manager. Mr. Clary walked up to learn what the trouble was when he discovered the identity of the “handle- barred" character and broke into laughter. Mr. Hare, who had known Mr. Wiseman ever since he came to Newberry, couldn’t believe his eyes. At Clarence T. Summer’s Hardware store, he asked for “mule’s shoe nails.” But no one made a move to serve the hotel operator because there was something “strange” about this character. It was a couple of minutes before the group of men in the store discovered who the “stranger” was. He was then closely inspected. A tug on his false mustache, accom panied by a yowl from the real Wiseman voice convinced the group that it was he. At the bus stand, he asked Frank Miller, driver for the Newberry City Bus Line, when the next bus was leaving for Atlanta, Georgia. Mr. Miller explained that the Newberry City Bus Line doesn’t extend to Atlanta. When Mr. Wise man insisted on going to At lanta via the Newberry City Bus Line, Mr. Miller commenced to eye him suspiciously. Mr. Wiseman quickly made him self known before Mr. Miller called the police. Mr. Miller was dumfounded ... he had failed to recognize his own boss! On the movie set located on the property of Frank Senn, George Senn and Richard Neel, Mr. Wiseman played the part of an easy-going man who con tinues to put off the job of burning his brush until spring plowing time. As a result, high winds and dry weather get hold of his brush fire and not only bum his own woods but those of his neighbor as well. At lunchtime, the crew went to the nearby Neel Bros. Gro cery on Belfast road. While they were in the process of buying some sardines, cheese and crackers, Mr. Wiseman rum maged through the store, prob ing into potato sacks, feeling the oranges, looking into the apple box and sampling the raisins. Suspicious eyes follow ed every move of this mus- tached “stranger”. Finally he walked up to Richard Neel, co owner of the store, and asked, “Do you know me?” When Mr. Neel sliowed no sign of recog- NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH 26, 1948 ELMER ROGERS OLIVER Rotarians Discuss European Program i The Newberry Rotary Club met in regular session Friday, March 19th, with only two members absent.

Coats Receives Army Promotion Fifth Air Force, Itami, Japan —Announcement of the promo tion to Sergeant of Carl Coats, 18, son of Mrs. Mildred Coats, route 1, Newberry, was made here recently by Colonel Donald D. FitzGerald, Commanding Of ficer of Itami Air Base, Itami, Japan, where Sergeant Coats is currently assigned for duty with the Far Eastern Air Force. A student of Newberry high school, Sergeant Coats entered the military service at Fort Bragg on July 8, 1946, and fol lowing completion of basic train ing he remained on duty in the United States until alerted for movement to the Pacific Thea ter of operations in May 1947.

Funeral services will be held in Statesville today. nition, Mr. Wiseman said, “I’m Jimmy.” And when Mr. Neel still failed to recognize him, Mr. Wiseman added, “I’m Jim my Wiseman.” Mr. Neel led him out into the sunlight for a good look and then broke out laughing. They had known each other for 16 years. If the cooperative Southern State Foresters’-U. S. Forest Service movie is as successful in preventing wild woods fires as Mr. Wiseman was with his acting, there should be a marked decrease in woods fires in South Carolina after folks see the film My little nephew, Danny, cele brated his first birthday this week by tearing into his birth day cake with both hands and licking off the icing; trying to stand on a six weeks old rat terrier which was a birthday gift; eating a large bowl of ice cream and wanting more; and turning up his nose at everybody as though he knew it were his special day. He also came through with a jaw tooth, making the total count to date nine teeth. At the age of one, he has had his second haircut, is outgrowing all his size two clothes and size four shoes, and is spoiled as most “first babies” are. He has taken to climbing stairs, and can walk up to the second floor of Gildercrest with out any trouble, but seems to tlfink he can walk on air coming downstairs, and as a result, has had a few falls. He is spending this week with his grandparents at Gildercrest, and you can certainly hear the “patter of little feet” for he doesn’t stay still more than a minute at a time. PROSPERITY Mrs. Von A.

Kendall of The Kendall Com pany has released his annual report to stockholders, covering the Company’s 1947 operations at its eighteen domestic and foreign plants, two of which are its Mollohon and Oakland Mills at Newberry. Consolidated net sales for 1947 were $76,536,382, 33 per cent higher than in 1946. While there was an increase in unit sales volume in some fields, the most important factor in producing the higher 1947 total, President Kendall stated, was increased unit prices which reflected the continuing advances in wage, mate dal and supply costs. Consoldated net profit was $7,012,841, after all expenses and after income taxes of $5,041,045. The Company’s cotton mills and finishing plants made an im portant contribution to the good results of 1947 through high volume aided by good teamwork new machinery and improved manufacturing efficiency. While earnings were best in the Company’s history, current uncertainties in the national and international general economic situation, and particularly the Company’s own requirements for additional capital, limited the proportion of earnings which the directors believed could wisely be paid out currently in divi dends. Total 1947 dividends were $1,377,009, or about one-fifth of net earnings. The remainder of the 1947 profit, amounting to $5,635,832, was retained in the business to provide for present and future needs, which included an ex tensive program of machinery replacements and more working capital to meet the requirements of enlarged volume. During 1947 $2,513,141 went into inventory increases, and over $1,900,000 was spent for plant and equip ment. Present plans call for'even higher capital expenditures for 1948. This plant improvement program is designed to keep Kendall plants modem and ef ficient, while the strengthening of tne Company’s financial and competitive position as a result of good earnings will help safe guard the jobs and opportuni ties of all Kendall employees against the hazards of the future President Kendall noted that production and sales have been at higher levels during the first two months of 1948, but buyers are now showing more conserva tism in forward purchasing and the confused economic and po litical situation at home and abroad makes it impractical to try to forecast the full year at this time.
