FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1948 THE NEWBERRY SUN SEES RETURN OF BYRNES By Doris Fleeson Washington Evening Star Plans are afoot to rehabili tate South Carolina in the Democratic family by return ing to the Washington scene its most distinguished statesman, James Francis Byrnes, ex-Sec- retary of State, ex-Supreme Court Justice, ex-Senator, etc., etc., etc. The idea is to make Mr. Byrnes the administration ar biter on South Carolina and then run him for the Senate in 1950 against the incumbent. Olin Johnston, and Gov. J. Strom Thurmond, Dixiecrat candidate for President. Mr. Byrnes now practices law in his native Spartanburg with occasional forays into Washing ton. The administration hopes that both Messrs. Johnston and Thurmond lose in 1950 but it is recognized that both won’t un less an alternative is offered, hence the Byrnes’ proposals. Pre-Elecling Conniving Both the Senator and Gov ernor are already deeply in volved in pre-election conniv ing. The Senator appears to have a little the better of it at the moment, largely because, with an agility that 1 would make an electric eel seem apa thetic, he has been sliding in and out of the party at stra tegic and photogenic moments. The result has confused some Democrats, though it is notice able that both President Tru man and National Chairman McGrath have managed f*t mo Gifts and Flowers LECOT CHINA — Patterns: Dusty Blossom and Fern Fine American-made hand-painted China available in open stock.

Main Street Flower & Gift Shop 200 E. Main Street Phone 768-J Mrs. W. E. Monts derate their transports over the Senator’s present heavy loyal ty. Gov. Thurmond, however, knows exactly where he stands with Washington. An admin istration inspired “regular'’ committee has been estaolished in South Carolina and the Tru man blessing personally im parted to it by Speaker-pros pective Rayburn. Chairman McGrath has announced that the national committee recog nizes its State chairman and the national committeeman it named to replace Gov. Thur mond in that post. It has proved a little more difficult to peg the slippery Senator Johnston who has been described as the first to leave the President and the first to return. There is that terrible picture of the Senator and Mrs. John ston’s empty table at last year’s Jefferson-Jackson dinner, stra tegically planted almost in front of the President’s nose. M!rs. Johnston had served on the dinner committee and was awarded one of the best tables in the house. Following the Truman civil rights message the Johnstons ^vere not con tent to cancel their reservations, they planted a friend at the empty table who refused to let a waiter clear it or any one else sit at it. Called Direct Insult The President, perhaps then at the lowest ebb of his for tunes, was forced to see it throughout the evening. Prob ably no more direct insult to the Presidency and to a Presi dent as leader of his party was ever offered. (But after November 2, the Senator elbowed his way to the forefront of the welcome home crowds at Union Station and appropriated a seat in an official car well up in the par ade. Then he discussed with the press why he voted for the Truman-Barkley ticket. That proved to be a slight over statement; it seems he didn’t cast his vote after all, it rain ed and he got there just too late or some other weather ac cident over which—natch—he had no control. . This proved too much for Mrr. Roosevelt even in Paris amid her United Nations dis tractions. Underlings at the National committee said she was mistaken in her attack on the Senator—they didn’t make the evidence quite clear—but Chairman McGrath can re member also, though they did not always make the news papers, were the Johnston gibes at the President on the hill, which were constant, rude and belittling. But the South Carolina situa tion is fluid, Gov. Thurmond is indelibly a Dixiecrat and Sen ator Johnston has reputedly proved himself and adept poli tician. It is hoped here that Mr. Byrnes might be homesick for Washington and those cloak rooms where he operated with fabulous finesse and good hum or for so many years. His health, which he gave as the reason for resigning as Secre tary of State, is now excellent. CHEST GETS ALMOST $1000 BEYOND GOAL Secretary of Chamber of Commerce, Cliff Graham, an nounces that the goal of $12,- 300.20 for the Community Chest has been reached and to date the total is over $13,000. A permanent organization for the Community Chest will be set up at an early date and will consist of 12 or more directors, who will elect a president, vice- president and other officers from this group. They will also name necessary committees to properly handle and distri bute the funds. PROVIDES NURSERY FOR CHILDREN OF GIs. Newberry college has equipp ed and set up a kindergarten and nursery school recently for the large number of veterans’ children on the campus. The project is being -sponsored joint ly by the departments of Bi ble and of education. Instructors for the school are student teachers who will re ceive credit for practice teach ing in the pre-school field. Other assistants are " secured from the various religious or ganizations on the campus. Thus the school affords the two-fold opportunity of training kinder garten teachers for the public schools and pariah helpers in the children’s department of the church. The work is under £he direc tion of the Department of Ed ucation and Miss Violet I,ester of that department supervises the instruction. In order to more fully co operate with this worthy pro ject the mothers of the child ren have organized a Mother’s club. Legumes Open Soil To Air and Water System of Rotafion Prevents Compaction Tight "stuffy” soils are robbing many farmers of high bushel-per- acre yields of corn and small grains each year. Loams, silt loams and clay loams need large amounts of organic matter in the plow layer and deeper to keep them open and loose for high crop production. Heavy soils that are low in or ganic matter and worked with heavy tractors and machinery become NO WEDNESDAY CLOSING DURING DECEMBER Beginning on Wednesday, De cember 1st, the business estab lishments in the city will re main open on Wednesday after noons during the month of De cember.

TAPBOOTED LEGUMES LOOSEN PACKED SOIL COON OQ| 6MALL GRAIN RACKED LAVER STOPS ROOTS TAPROOTS BREAK COMPACTION Tap roots of alfalfa and sweet clover, as shown in sketch, break through packed soil to assure wa ter and plant food for growing crops. packed, especially just below the plow sole. Tl\ese compactions slow down the intake of water. They cut down the amount of water and air the soil will hold for crop use. They keep the fibrous roots of corn and small grain “upstairs” away from water and plant food held deeper in the soil. Temporary relief can be had by using machines that reach below the ordinary plow layer and break up the plow sole compactions. Real relief, however, comes only through regu lar use of deep-rooted legumes in the rotation. The driving tap roots of sweet clover and alfalfa force their way through the compactions and reach deep into the soil, thus opening it to air and water. The mineralized organic matter they leave there im proves soil tilth and furnishes plant food for other crops. Channels of the tap roots are routes for w§ter and air and fibrous roots to follow deep into the soil. Compaction-busting alfalfa and sweet clover need phosphate and pot ash if they are to do a'good job. Smash Sale Records All records for Ayrshire auction sales in the U. S. were broken when an average of $2,267.39 was paid for 23 Scottish bred Ayr- shires imported and sold by Frank V. Lile of Bellefontaine, Ohio. The sale grossed $52,150. A new record price for Ayrshire bull calves was set at $4,600 by Howard Baum and Sons of Paint Valley farm, Bainbridge, Ohio, in tho purchase of eight-months-old Killoch Gay Spark (above). Increased Yields Noted With Use of Fertilizer Wheat yields can be stepped up 7 to 14 bushels per acre and th hay crop can be increased through use of more fertilizer in hay and pasture crops seeded in small grains, de clares Dr. D. R. Dodd of the Ohio experiment station. This practice is particularly profit able on land already highly produc tive, Dodd points out. As an exam ple, he cites tests made by research men on plots at the Ohio station. The j land’s producing capacity already had been built up by good soil man agement so that it was produc ing an average of 85 bushels of com, 23 bushels of wheat and 3 tdhs of hay per acre. In the tests, a 2-12-8 fertilizer was applied at increasing rates to wheat Minnesota Starts Bi?
