By The Way ■ ■
All right—I’ll apologize, and
next time I won’t make a state
ment until I consult authorities.
In this column on March 19, I
wrote: ‘I made a trip to Waiter-
boro over the weekend, and ful
ly expected to see spring flowers
in bloom down there every
where. I was disappointed.
Mlaybe I didn’t get to the right
places, or maybe the homes
there have gardens in the back,
but nowhere did I see the yel
low, red, pink and white flow
ers in bloom as they are in
Newberry ...” Natives of
Walterboro who read that, and
natives of Newberry with
friends and relatives in Walter
boro, have informed me that
they are most unhappy because
of that statement. They tell
me I hit Walterboro at the
wrong time—an in-between sea
son, I believe. Many of the
flowers bloom earlier there, and
had faded the weekend I spent
in Walterboro: others, azaleas,
wisteria, etc., had not yet bloom
ed. I promised my critics that
before I made a similar state
ment about Walterboro, or any
other place, I would be sure I
had seen all there was to see.
I still think Newberry was as
pretty this spring as any other
place I’ve seen . .
Take Margaret Hunter Park,
for instance It was beautiful
Sunday morning for the Eas
ter sunrise service, and there
isn’t much need for me to de
scribe it, for I think about ev
eryone in Newberry attended
the impressive service. But if
you haven’t seen the park this
spring, drive by this week, and
see if you don’t agree that it
comlpares favorably with any
garden spot you’ve seen in this
state . . .
Flowers seem to be my fa
vorite subject this week, and
for the past few weeks. There
have been so many beautiful ar
rangements in so many differ
ent places, I hesitate to mention
any of them. I do think, though,
that a lovely sight was the
avenue of narcissus blooms lin
ing the walk leading from the
sidewalk to the porch of Miss
Mamie Crooks’ home on East
Main street. The bulbs were
close together, and each stem
had such a large cluster of
blossoms that each narcissus
looked almost like a hyacinth...
Did you know there is a 500
tree apple orchard in Newberry?
I had heard about it, but hadn’t
seen it until Sunday. Mrs.
George Stone called Saturday
morning, to tell us the orchard
was in full bloom, so we went
out there Sunday. The rain
Saturday, and cold weather Sun
day had taken a lot of the blos
soms, but it was still a wonder
ful sight—row after row of
trees filled with delicate pink
ish-white blossoms. The lawn
of the Stones’ home was at
tractive too, with a large tri
angular bed filled with pink
thrift in full bloom. I suppose
I could fill up two columns just
writing about the colorful flo
wer beds and gardens around
town, but I had better get on
to another subject . . .
The urge to leave the con
ventional manner of reporting
a wedding has often tempted
me, and evidently I’m not the
only one. Francis Aull, former
ly of Newberry, was married
the other day, and his brother,
J. Luther Aull, editor and pub
lisher of the Ridge Citizen, John
ston, carried the following in
his Various and All About col
umn last week.
Social Item;
It was in the Salley Baptist
church that a sorrowing con
course of friends and relatives
gathered last Friday afternoon
at five o’clock (or as soon there
after as those most concerned
could get there) to witness the
last rites being performed over
Mr. Francis A. Aull and Miss
Mildred (Mickey) Baggette. The
Rev. Wallace Edwards perform
ed the sad rites, with two bro
thers of the groom, Julian H.
Aull and J. Luther Aull (that’s
us) acting as pallbearers.
The bride is survived by her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Bag
gette, and three sisters. Sur
vivors of the groom include his
mother Mrs. Mae A. Aull and
four brothers.
Immediately after the cere
mony the couple left on a trip
for a destination which is still
undisclosed at this writing. They
used a car which was borrowed
for the purpose and thereby
threw into confusion the pos
session and ownership of all
the rest of the cars in the fam
ily, including our own Gentle
Zephyr. At this writing they
are both back on their jobs in
Johnston he at our Linotype ma
chine and she at her bookkeep
ing machine or typewriter (or
whatever it is) at the Biflex.
By Ted Kesting
Just in case you ever have
occasion to supervise a pack
horse on the trail, Robert M.
Ormes, outdoor writer, has some
pointers you might remember
when loading the animal.
For the beginner, here are
four things to which he should
pay particular attention. First,
stay awa£ from the heels of a
horse you don’t know. Second,
avoid getting half-hitched and
dragged around by an unfinish
ed tie rope. Third, keep vigi
lant watch over the condition of
the load, the cinches and the
neck strap. Fourth, never tie
the halter rope of the pack
horse to your saddle horn.
' Before loading, brush the
horse with the lie of the hair
to get rid of dirt and reversed
hair that might irritate him. Be
sure there is ample padding—a
horse hair pad or several thick
nesses of blanket. The saddle
should be placed well back so
as not to bruise the horse’s
withers..
The type of saddle generally
used is a sawbuck with two
cinches. These must be drawn
up tight to prevent the load
from shifting. No strap is allow
ed to lie edgewise to horseflesh.
The neck strap should be loose
enough to allow comfortable
breathing, plus a margin for the
backward shift of the load when
climbing steep upgrades.
The panniers, rigid bags of
leather or stiff canvas, are used
to hold all the small items such
as food and cooking utensils.
The sides against the animal’s
ribs should be packed flat. The
two panniers should be paired
as to weight before they are
Parenthetical note: Maybe we
had better go back to the ma
chine and set this into type
ourselves. We may not be
able to get much cooperation
out of our regular linotype op
erator.
B. F. (BEN) McCARTY
Benjamin Franklin (Sen) Mc
Carty, 60, died suddenly at his
home on Piedmont street early
Sunday morning. He was born
and reared in Saluda county
and was the son of the late D.
P. and, Tobitha Thrilkill Mc
Carty.
He made his home in Colum
bia for a number of years, but
had lived in Newberry county
for the past 22 years. He was a
prominent citizen and a devoted
church worker, having taught
a Bible class and having served
as steward of his church.
Funeral services were held
Tuesday evening from Elpting
Memorial Methodist church with
the Rev. H. B 1 . Harvey in charge,
assisted by the Rev. W. H. Le
wis, Dr. J. B. Harman and the
Rev. Marvin Hembree, Inter
ment followed in Rosemont cem
etery.
He is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Nannie Coleman McCarty,
and the following children: Mrs.
Gertrude Whitmire, Ashley F.
McCarty, Mrs. Edith Matthews,
Mrs. A1 A. Meyes and Mrs. Mar
garet Duncan, all of Newberry;
James A. McCarty of Shelby,
N. C., and Travis J. McCarty
of Clinton; one brother, W. B.
MlcCarty of Charleston; Mrs. An
drew Coleman of Saluda, and
six grandchildren.
hung. Uneven loads cause more
discomfort than heavy loads.
j. The panniers provide a plat
form that will hold a small tent
and two sleeping bags nicely.
Long items such as an ax and
fishing rods should be tied on
the top of the load, running
lengthwise.
To tie down the whole load, a
third cinch, which has a long
tie rope attacher, is used. The
rope gathers the two panniers
into the two loops of a figure
eight.
The amount of weight you
can put on an animal depends on
the length, steepness and rough
ness of the trip, and on the size
and condition of the horse. A
good horse will take close to
200 pounds five or six miles up
hill without ill effect, but 150
pounds is a better limit.

Who shall measure
these in terms of dollars?
It is a bitter fact, but it
is worth remembering: if this nation “had
spent 25 billion dollars in Military Preparedness
over a period of years, World War II need
never have happened. Neither Germany nor
Japan would have dared to fight us, and we
would have saved the 700 billion dollars this
war will cost us before we finish paying for it.
‘But that saving of 700 billions in money is a
small thing compared to the American lives
which could also have been saved.
“One hundred and twenty-six thousand Ameri
cans died in World War I; two hundred and fifty
thousand Americans died in World War II. No
one knows the extent of the misery and suffering
of the hundreds of thousands of wounded.
