By The Way ■ ■ ■ By DORIS ARMFIELD I am not ordinarily a super stitious person, but I’m begin ning to wonder if there is some jinx connected with this col umn, with dogs and with Fri days. You will remember a few weeks ago, I wrote about “Dilly,” the gum-chewing dog at the college. That issue of the Sunpaper went out on Fri day morning, and Dilly was killed by an automobile the same morning. Last week I wrote about dogs in general, our Stopper (I call him ours, though he belonged to Bill and Doris Jean) in particular. Just as some of you were reading that item on Friday morning, Stopper ran in front of an au tomobile, was killed instantly . . . and that was Friday, the 13th. This always happens eventually, it seems. Dogs will run on the streets just so long, and then their number is up. Maybe what happened to our Stopper, a little black cocker spaniel, will make dog owners a little more considerate of their dogs as well as pedestri ans who are bothered by the dogs, and motorists who risk accidents to keep from running over them in the streets. We have had so many pup pies, have watched them grow, only to see them get killed. I think we all were determined never again to become attach ed to a pet, but when Stopper took up residence at Gilder- crest, try though we would, we couldn’t help but like him, be cause a cocker spaniel has a way of looking so helpless, and being so friendly, you just can’t help yourself. And now Stopper is buried under the cool shade trees at Gildercrest, and we’ll miss him. It will be a long time before any of us will want the re sponsibility of such a friendly little pup. Rumors have reached me that the county is spending money to remodel, redecorate and make a community center of the upstairs of the old court house. I believed the rumors false, for the civic league has been collecting a fund to do this work, and it is a civic league project. However, be fore writing anything about it, I decided to check with the county delegation. Representa tive Tom Pope advised that, because the old courthouse is county property, the county na turally takes the responsibility for keeping the building up. Until the past few months, no work had been done on the courthouse for years. Contracts have now been let for the plumbing, wiring and heating facilities, to take care of the regional library, chamber of commerce, ladies’ rest room, and the upstairs. The county is not, however, furnishing funds for equipping the kitchen, putting up draper ies, buying furniture for the community center. This is en tirely a project for which cre dit is due the civic league. In connection with this, I hear the complaint, “the county is spending money to make a community center and nothing is being done about the atro cious conditions at the county home.” I haven’t been to the county home recently, but the mem bers of the delegation say that conditions there are bad, and they are as much concerned ah anyone else. The story as to why a new building hasn’t been started is, briefly: Architect Irvine Leslie was employed by the county to draw plans for a new county home. The plans were sub mitted to the delegation, ad vertisement was made for bids. Only a few bids were received and the lowest of these was near $70,000. It was not deemed advisable by the county to spend that amount for a coun ty home accommodating some 10 to 15 inmates, and Mr Les lie was asked to change his plans, cutting the expense as much as possible, but keeping in view the comfort of the in mates. Rep. Pope stated Monday that Architect Leslie would have the plans ready in three or four days; that they should be in the hands of the super visor and commissioners this weekend. Action will be taken immediately to award the con tract for construction of the home. I appreciate the interest shown in this project by citi zens of Newberry who are gen uinely concerned, and so does the county delegation. I be lieve you may be sure that some definite action will be taken in the next few weeks. One of our subscribers was in here the other day, ready to hang Judge J. Waties Waring from the nearest tree. When I questioned his motives, he Second Races Come Tuesday A large turnout of voters is expected next Tuesday, August 24, when Newberrians will a- gain go to the polls to vote for a congressman, and to elect a sheriff, supervisor, Newberry magistrate, and two commis sioners. James B. Hare of Saluda, who led the ticket in the third congressional race, and John C. Taylor of Anderson, runner-up, are the two congressional can didates. In the sheriff’s race, Ben F. Dawkins, incumbent, opposes Tom M. Fellers, former sheriff and deputy sheriff of Newberry county. Mr. Dawkins led the ticket over his three opponents in the first primary. The second race for super visor will be between S. W. Shealy, who led the ticket, and Paul H. Haile. Entering the second race for magistrate, district No. 2 (New berry) are Roy M. Stutts, who topped the ticket in the first primary, and Lonnie M. Gra ham, incumbent. Commissioners are to be elec ted in both districts. In Dis trict No. 1, J. Frank Lominick and D.

Mrs. King will be remember ed in Newberry as the former Miss Macie Davis, daughter of Mrs. Walt Davis and the late Walter Hyatt Davis. brought up the subject of a column I wrote a month or so ago, concerning not states rights, nor civil rights, but citi zens rights. He informed me that he knew on reliable auth ority that a lot of people were going to stop their subscrip tions to The Sun because of that column. I looked back over our mail ing lists since the publication of that particular piece, and find that not one single per son has requested that his Sun- paper be discontinued, and on ly one has failed to renew a subscription. The particular subscriber gave no reason for discontinuing the paper. Per haps she was not in agreement with the column I wrote; I certainly do not expect every one to agree with what I have to say, for, thank God, we are all still entitled to opinions of our own. I do not believe, however, that this subscriber or any other person on the Sun mailing list, is narrowminded enough to take such an atti tude. Running a newspaper is a constant headache, but it is a headache of which few true newspaper men and women wish to be relieved. If you sit idly by and report the news taking no stand on anything, you are a jellyfish; if you have the fortitude to take a stand on something, you make ene mies—so you just chooSe your course and get it in the neck either way. The privilege of being able to express an opin ion publicly is a sacred one, and I don’t believe any inde pendent newspaper editor, es pecially those in small towns, take stands for anything other than what he believes right and helpful to the community, in which he makes his living. PROSPERITY Of cordial interest was the marriage of Miss Ettie Julia Adams and Junis Boyd Killian which took place August 12, at 3:30 p. m. at the home of the Rev. J. B. Harmon, D. D.

She wore a lovely locket, the gift of the bridegroonu She is the attrac tive daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Allen W. Adams of the O’Neall community and attended the O’Neall and Prosperity schools. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. A. Killian of White Rock and attended the White Rock and Irmo schools. He was in the U. S. Navy for two years and served in the South Pacific. He is now em ployed by the Joanna Mills at Joanna. Following the marriage cere mony a supper was given by the parents of the bride. Both the ceremony and supper were attended by relatives and close friends. Mr. and Mrs. Killian are making their home on route 1, Prosperity. Mrs. Oscar Wessinger was hostess to the Crepe Myrtle Garden Club Tuesday after noon. Mr. J. A. Singley, leader, chose as her subject for dis cussion,* “Do You Want To Grow Camellias?” The glean er, Mrs. John Dawkins, read a poem, “Our World Today.” During the recreation period, conducted by Mrs. W.

In addition to meeting and talk ing with our agents and dis tributors who get our news paper out to the more than 500,000 readers in the South, I have met both Negroes and whites in the urban and rural centers. Because of these personal ob servations, studies and contacts, I feel 'that I can speak with some degree of authority. I am certainly in a better posi tion to voice an opinion than the Negro leader who occupies a suite in downtown New York and bases his opinions on the South from the distorted stories he reads in the Negro Press and Daily Worker. The racial lines in the South are so clearly drawn and de fined there can be no confu sion. When I am in Virginia or South Carolina I don’t won der if I will be served if I walk into a white restaurant. I know the score. However, I have walked into several right here in New Jersey where we have a civil rights law, and have been refused service. The whites in the South stay with their own and the Negroes do likewise. This one fact has been the economic salvation of the Negro in the South. At lanta, Georgia, compares favor ably with Newark in size and population. Negroes there own and control millions of dollars worth of business. All the Ne gro business in New Jersey will not amount to as much as our race has in one city in Georgia. This is also true in South Car olina and Virginia. New Jersey today boasts of more civil rights legislation that any other state in the Un ion, and state government it self practices more discrimina tion than Virginia, North Caro lina, South Carolina, or Geor gia. New Jersey employs one Negro in the Motor Vehicle De partment. All of the states above mentioned employ plenty. No matter what a Negro wants to do, he can do it in the South. In Spartanburg, South Carolina, Ernest Collins, a young Negro, operates a large funeral home, a taxicab busii ness, filling station, grocery store, has several buses, runs a large farm and a night club. Collins couldn’t do all that in New Jersey or New York. The 1 only bus line operated by Ne groes are in the South. The Safe Bus Company in Winston- Salem, North Carolina, owns and operates over a hundred. If a Negro in New Jersey or New York had the money and attempted to obtain a franchise to operate a line he would not only be turned down, but he would be lucky if he didn’t get a bullet in his back. Negroes and whites get along much better together in the South than Northern agitators would have you believe. Of course I know that there are some sore spots down there, and we have them up here also. But it is not as bad as it is painted. The trouble in the South stems from dumb, ignor ant whites and Negroes, not from the intelligent, better class element of the two races. The attitude of the southern ers toward our race is a natural psychological reaction and after- math of the Wlar Between the States. Negroes were the prop erties of these people. They were not the peers, and were not even considered human in the true sense. The whole econ omy of the South was built a- round slavery. The South was forced by bloodshed and much harm to its pride, to give up slavery. Overnight these slaves became full fledged American citizens , enjoying the same rights as their former owners. Certainly you couldn’t ex pect the South to forget this in 75 or even 150 years. That feel ing has passed from one gener ation to another, but it is not one of hatred for the Negro. The South just doesn’t believe that the Negro has grown up. No section of the country has made more progress in finding a workable solution to the Ne gro problem than the South. Naturally Southerners are re sentful when the North at tempts to ram a civil rights program down their throats. I have pointed out in dozens of editorials that the white peo ple of this country are not on ly our friends, but they want to see us get ahead as a race. As a matter of fact, we are more prejudiced than those whom we accuse of being pre judiced. The entire race problem in America is wrong. We expend all our energies and spend mil lions of dollars trying to con vince white people that we are as good as they are, that we are an equal. Joe Louis is not looked upon as a Negro but the greatest fighter of all time, loved and admired by whites in South Carolina as much as those in Michigan. He convinced the world not by propaganda an<j agitation, but by demonstration. Our fight for recognition, jus tice, civil rights and equality, should be carried on within the race. Let us demonstrate to the world by our living standards, our conduct, our ability and intelligence that we are the equal of any man, and when we shall have done this the en tire world, including the South, will accept us on our terms. Our present program of threats and agitation makes enemies out of our friends.

THE VETERANS CORNER Questions by veterans regard ing hospitalization and other benefits, with answers by the Veterans Administration are published in this column by THE SUN as a service to our veterans. Q: May I go to a private hospital in my home town and have Veterans Administration pay the bill?
