«r b *• % NEARLY EVERYBODY IN NEWBERRY SEES • THE SUM VOL. il NO. 13 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1948 $1:50 PER ANNUM By The Way - - By DORIS ARMFIELD Someone at the campaign meeting on the public square Friday night left the subject of politics for a moment to re mind me that “the sign’’ was still flat on its face. He was re ferring, of course, to that Wel come To Newberry sign out on the Columbia highway - the one you’ve read about in this column on a number of occas ions. I had noticed only a couple of days before that the sign had not yet been pulled off the ground, and wondered why. Surely it wouldn’t be a lot of trouble for the Chamber of Commerce to have it put up again. If the signs can’t be given better care than they have had in recent months, I think it would be a good idea to dispose of them altogether. Such carelessness on the part of a town is not invitation to a stranger to visit the town. People have been saying to me “when this election is over, and you have room, I wish you’d write about so and so.” I’m going to mention a couple of those subjects now. One is especially of interest to me and it concerns dogs. I rememlber' when I was some 15 or 20 years younger tha n I am now, we lived over on Mayer Ave nue. To go from where we lived to Hunt street, we had to pass a house whose owners also owned a most ferocious dog. Perhaps .his bark WIAS worse than his bite, but in those days I would go around the block to avoid passing him. So, when one of the Sunreaders sain he wished I would write about these dogs around town, whose owners will not keep them pen ned up, and who (the dogs) seem to take particular pleas ure in nipping at the ankles of passers-by, I said I would be glad to mention it. I don’t know what, if anything, can be done about it, except to appeal to the humanity of the dog owners to please if they have a dog who likes to bite people or even scare them by barking, to keep the dogs in the back yard, or penned up somewhere and off of the public streets. I am not criticizing those who have the kind of dogs who are even afraid to bite a flea. Our Stopper is that kind of animal - cute though he is, I’m afraid he would run the other way if a stranger so much as looked at him. But if the time comes when Stopper or any other ca nine gets to the terrifying, bark ing and biting stage, it is the time for them to be kept off of public streets and sidewalks. The taxpayers have a right to expect a certain amount of safety whe n walking on the streets which are kept up by their taxes. Maybe you wonder why I haven’t mentioned the election yet. Its because this is being written on election day, and all I can tell you at the moment is that people have been crowd ing to the polls this morning, and it looks as though there will be a record vote in the county. I haven’t seen a single politician - but I imagine the managers of the voting pre cincts have. By the time you read this, we will all know the final score, and I will be glad its all over. Olin Shealy, manager of the airport, asked me to tell you that the plane which spent sev eral hours buzzing Newberry •Monday was not a plane from the Newberry county airport. Olin appreciated the calls he had concerning the plane, and asks the citizens who are an noyed by “buzzing” in the fu ture to try to get the planes nuirtber and the time of day and call him. SUSAN H. LEAPORD Susan Harvett Leapord, in fant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Harvey Leapord, died Monday night at the Newberry county hospital. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the grave side in Rosemont cemetery with the Rev. C. H. Sutherland conducting the services. Besides her parents she is survived by her maternal grandparents Mr. and. Mrs. John Sealy of Newberry; her paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. R. S. Leapard of Ninety Six, her great grandmother, Mrs. John Mack of Newberry, and her great grandfather, B. L,. Leapord of Ninety Six. School Board Makes Report At a meeting of the board of trustees of the Newberry city schools, and the patrons of school district No. 1, a full re port for the past year was given by Supt. P. K. Harmon. Excerpts of interest from the report follow: The session began on Mon day, September 1, 1947, with an enrollment in the white schools totaling 1341. There were 436 students enrolled in the high school and 905 in the elementary grades. The total number of boys was 678, and the number of girls was 663. In the negro school, an in crease of 22 over last year’s enrollment and 612 in th e ele mentary grades. This year, for the first time in a number of years, the Southern Association of Col leges and Secondary schools gave the Newberry high school an excellent rating with no criticisms. All standards were met in full. Two of the white teachers were retired at the end of the school year under the retire ment act now in force in this state. These teachers’ Miss Ger trude Reeder and Mrs. J. Frank Browne, have given long and most efficient service to the boys and girls of the com munity. The pre-school clinic held in May by the Newberry county health department was well at tended — much better than in previous years. The trustees commended Dr. Sease and Miss Leitzsey in the fine work of improving the health of the children and having them ready for school in September. During the past year a new roof was put on Junior High school building. The auditor ium was renovated and a much needed library room was made in the rear of the auditorium. Flourescent light fixtures were installed in both the auditorium and library. Two large base ment rooms were renovated and made into nice lunchrooms. These were equipped with tab les, two electric' stoves, elec tric refrigerator and many kit chen accessories. The total amount spent for renovating and repairing Jun ior high and Drayton street schools were approximately $12,000. Renovation and repairing of Junior high school building is now in progress. All of the old laths and plaster have been re moved and replaced by rock lathe and new plaster with celotex over head. The build ing will be completely rewired and all class rooms will have the latest type of flourescent light fixtures. Much work is also being done at Boundary street school. The building will be rewired and flourscent light fixtures installed. All class rooms now in use will be com pletely remodeled and renova ted as is being done at Junior high. New typewriters have been secured and a course in typing will be offered for the first time in the high school to the students of the twelfth grade. Under the G. I. Bill, classes have been organized in carpen try and cabinet making, sheet- metal work, welding, machine shop, and commercial art for white veterans, and masonry and general farm training for the negroes. There are 71 white veterans enrolled and 46 negro veterans. All expenses of these classes are paid by the federal government. NEWBERRY CHURCH Rev. J. Luther Ballentine, who has been pastor of the St. Andrews Lutheran church, Bly- thewood. has accepted the call to become pastor of the St. Paul’s-Bachman Chapel parish.

Long, Rev. V. L. Fulmer and the Rev. C. F. Du- Bose, Jr. INCREASE EXPECTED IN BOLL WEEVIL LINE Newberry County farmers may expect an increase in boll weevil activity. Due to matur ing cotton in the lower part of the state weevils are now fly ing in search of food. It has been estimated that a boll wee vil will fly from twenty to fifty miles during the migration period. All cotton farmers shou ld watch their cotton closely for square infestation and adult weevils in blooms. The county check of weevil infestation, made by Newberry County Agents last week, show ed from 0 to 12 percent of squ ares punctured. Dusting fields that have a 10 percent infesta tion and fields where migra tion of weevils has begun is recommended. Small bolls on vigorous growing cotton should he protected. Many farmers re- oort highly satisfactory results from the use of 10 percent chlordane with 5 percent DDT and 40 percent sulphur during migration. Chlorinated camp- hene is being used also. These materials are used during the time weevils are flying in or der to give protection from in sects for several days after each dusting. MISS PRESSLY EXPLAINS SOCIAL SECURITY FUND “What becomes of all the money paid in?” is a question frequently asked the Green wood office of the Social Se curity administration. I n ex planation, Miss Martha Pressly, manager, says that social se curity taxes are confused many times with income taxes which are withheld from workers pay. Under social security, each worker pays only one percent of all wages up to $3,000 a year. At the present rate, the most any worker can pay in social security taxes in a year is$30. Since this is the twelfth year that these taxes have been pay able. the most any worker cou ld have paid so far is $360. Social security taxes pay for retirement insurance income at age 65 and for life insurance benefits upon death of the wor ker. For this reason, some re tired workers and their wives, or their widows and orphans, will qualify for payments amounting to many times as much as the worker paid in. In other cases, total social sec urity benefits may be less than the amount of social security taxes the worker has paid. Miss Pressly said that these insurance payments are never large and that they were not intended to replace the need for thrift and savings. It is ex pected that families will, there fore, be encouraged to supple ment their old age and survi vors insurance with other sav ings, insurance, or resources. Social security payments can not be drawn at any time ex cept after retirement at 65 or older, or by survivors after the worker dies at any age. Then, the payments are made as a matter of right to those who qualify, but they must be ap plied for in every case.

Complete harmony marked the Democratic primary here Tuesday when whites and blac ks alike trooped to the polls, the Negro for the first time since reconstruction. Not a single instance of disorder of any kind was noted over the county. The negroes voted much in a pattern. Their can didate for the Senate was Nev ille Bennett and for Congress it was Leon Rice. Their can-! didates in local races are I also known but since they en- • dorsed certain candidates now in second races, this paper will not make them known at this time. Thomas H. Pope and Walter Lake were elected to House seats yesterday, Mr. Lake tak ing the place vacated by Rep. Aubrey Harley. James Brown defeated Mrs. Mae Aull in the race-'-for Super intendent of Education. George Summer defeated D. LeRoy Wilson in the Coroner’s race. W. E. Spearman defeated La mar Dominick for Magistrate at Chappell. Burke Wise was re elected Magistrate at Little' Mountain and R. A. Nelson was ( returned to the same office at Whitmire. Alan Johnstone lost his own county to J. Bryan Dorn as many predicted he would do. He ran a poor fourth in the State. The primary afforded some surprises. James Hare in the race for Congress was not ex- j pected to carry the county so heavily; Taylors vote in the | county was a surprise to many; j young Stutts for Magistrate at , Newberry upset the predictor’s j apple-cart to some extent by forging out ahead in a field of veteran campaigners. Young Attorney-student Lake also handed the guessers a jolt by slamming into a House seat in the first primary and in his j first attempt. A little different | results were expected by many j in the Supervisors race. But j few of the prognosticators belie- : ved that the race would result j in a second set-to between two seasoned campaigners and for mer opponents in the same race-Paul Haile and S. W. Shealy. A second election will be held Tuesday, August 24 in which the following will participate: Sheriff; Ben Dawkins and Tom Fellers. Supervisor: Paul Haile and S. W. Shealy. Magistrate at Newberry; Gra ham and Stutt.s Commissioner District 1: Fr ank Lominick and Ed Schum- pert. Commissioner District No. 2: Cy Schumpert and Tab Wertz. A total of votes in the coun ty races follows: House of Representatives Fellers 2068 Jordan 3193 Lake 5323 Pope 5634 Supt. of Education Aull 3500 Brown 4969 Sheriff Buford 449 Dawkins 3368 Fellers 2663 Quattlebaum 1513 Supervisor Epps 1758 Haile 1955 Shealy - 2945 Watkins 1802 Coroner Summer 4369 Wilson — 4050 Commissioner Dist. 1 Bundrick 414 Fair 657 Lominick 2080 Marett 739 D.

The memorial is the baseball park at Jolly Street, to be known as Blease Memor ial field. It adjoins the site of the Jolly Street Association’s meetings which have been an annual festive occasion in New berry county for nearly three quarters of a century. The marker which will pro claim the spot for posterity did not arrive in time for the cere mony, but the spot will be marked by a bronze plaque mounted on a masonry foun dation. Clint T. Graydon of Colum bia, long a friend of Cole Blease. delivered an appropriate eulogy, proclaiming that “I come not to bury Cole, but to praise him.” Mr. Graydon was introduced by J. Drufus Griffin of Easley and Columbia. As has been the custom, the Newberry College annual re union was held in connection with the association meeting and barbecue. During the portion of the program dedicated to the col lege, Hon. Butler B. Hare of Saluda, former congressman of this district and Newberry alumnus, spoke of the college’s past and told of its part as a church college in the training of South Carolina’s youth. Former state Supreme Court Justice Eugene S. Blease, a half-brother of the late Cole Blaese, spoke on Newberry Col lege’s present. Dr. James C. Kinard, presi dent of the college, spoke on the college’s future and declar ed that the school would “con tinue to depend on you.’’ He said that Newberry was proud of its past, alert to its present and confident of the future and that “God will always be the center of its program.” The meeting was presided over by Hon. Fred H. Dominick and tribute was twice paid to Dr. S. J. Derrick, first by Supt. J. C. Metts, who spoke a wel coming message, and finally by Mr. Dominick and the audience, who stood with bowed heads in silent tribute to Dr. Derrick, for many years chairman of the Jolly Street association before his recent death.
