VOL. 12—NO. 51 + NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1950 + $1.50 PER YEAR Hard Tail Still King Kansas City, Mo., Apr. 25.— Ferd Owen of this city says the horse and mule market is on the bum. A great many persons un doubtedly have suspected that it was. But Owen can make it sound so authoritative. Just now he has about 1,500 mules and you get the impres sion he wishes he could move them a little faster. They’re eating their heads off. He claims it costs about 50 cents a day to feed a mule. Multiply half a dollar by 1,500 guzling and chomping mules, and you can see that it runs into money. In 1947 Owen bought and sold about 90,000 mules. He got to be known as the horse and mule king of the world. Last year he was down to 20,- 000. And the future? “Can’t see nothing that looks good,” he replies. What has caused the shrink age in the home and mule do main? “It’s the tractor, Owen says, the tractor and high freight rates. Maybe a little reduction in the cotton acreage had some thing to do with it. Anyhow things are nowhere near as high, wide and handsome as they used to be. • Owen is ready to make the last shipments on a measly little 7,500 mule contract to Greece. He has one more ship ment to go (about 650 head). After that, who knows? “It don’t look good,” the mule man reiterates. “Some of these mornings, some of these small farmers with all that expensive mechanical equipment, are go ing to -wake up and wish they had a good team of mules on the place.” In recent years Owen has shipped mules to Spain, Cuba, the West Indies and South Am erica. He believes that Spain ought to be the best market in the world today. But there is a major drawback. Spain, he says, does not have the pesetas, changed into dollars, to buy the mules. “Never saw the market so low since 1928,” he mutters. “Mules and horses both are go ing out. It’s going to get so that nobody’ll breed ’em any more. You watch and see if that ain’t what happens some day.” Owen says he never has turn ed down a horse or a mule. He’ll buy any horse or mule that is sent to Kansas City. At least, he’ll make some kind of a bid. “I guess I’m in the market,” he confides. If a belt seller remains, ob serves the'sage old trader, it’s the tobacco mule. A tobacco mule weighs 1,100 to 1,200 pounds. They’re worked with a single plow in the tobacco fields. Not as big and rugged, of course, as the mules that used to work around logging camps or on highway construc tion jobs—but they’re handier. What is a good mule? Well, Owen explains, a man don’t want a tall, laggy mule. A tall, laggy mule is no good. What a man wants is a short- coupled mule. A writer once said that the origin of a mule probably was a mistake. Its past was drab and its present dismal. It is denied even the satisfaction of reproducing. It has no charm, no glamour, no spirit, no gal lantry. Owen does not subscribe to all of this. He feels the mule has been maligned. It has some fine qualities in its char acter, he believes. A mule is patient and sincere, and an ani mal which makes its own de cisions. WANTS OLD JOB Sketch of the life and career of W. J. Bryan Dorn, candidate for Congress from this district: Born in Greenwood county, South Carolina, April 14, 1916, the son of Mrs. Pearl Griffith Dorn and the late T. E. Dorn; one of 10 children and one of seven brothers serving in the armed forces of the United States during World War II; married Miss Mildred Johnson, of North Carolina, an associate editor of United States News magazine; one daughter, Briana Pearl. Elected to th e House of Rep resentatives in 1928, on the first ballot, over a field of nine, be coming the youngest member of the General Assembly, at the age of 22. Elected to the State Senate in 1940 and, according to all available records, was the youngest State Senator in the history of South Carolina, at the age of 24.

(Continued on page A) Points Way To Benefits “Newspaper stories are often the key that unlocks the door to substantial Social Security payments to aged 65 workers and their families, aged wid ows, and to young widows with children,” Martha F. Pressly, Manager of the Greenwood Field Office of the Social Se curity Administration said to day. Miss Pressly pointed out that few days pass during which her office fails to receive one or more letters enclosing a clipping about Social Security from daily or weekly news papers. In other instances, the worker or his widow brings the clipping to the office. What they want to know is=, “Does this mean me? Can I get bene fits?” In a high percentage of these instances the Social Se curity Office is able to tell the inquirer, “It does mean you. You can get benefits for your self and your children.” The Social Security Manager pointed out that her office has long recommended that every worker contact the office when he reaches age 65, whether or not he expects to quit work. She also stressed the impor tance of every worker telling his family about Survivors In surance payable under the So cial Security Act, and to get in touch with the Social Secur ity Representative at the Court House, Newberry, any Tuesday A. M., between the hours of 9 and 12, in case of the work er’s death. There are still a large number of aged workers, widows, and other survivors who do not realize their rights until a newspaper item calls Social Security to their atten tion. “Social Security,” Miss Press ly concluded, “can do the most good for the greatest number of people, when everyone has a full understanding of his rights and duties under the law. The newspapers of New berry County are playing a very important part in making this general public understand ing - possibhs.” Boozer Awarded $3250 JAMES D.

Busy Main Street, along which most of the cotton bales were placed, got its name changed to Cotton Avenue, giant pictures of Miss McGee were everywhere and also plac ards dramatizing the impor tance of cotton in this county whose mills use 13 times more cotton than the 26,000 bales it grows.
