IT COULDN'T HAPPEN
TO A NICER PERSON
Greenville Piedmont.
Nathanael Greene Chapter,
DAR, has its first honorary
member!
She is Mrs. J. Y. McFall, a
duly enrolled and fully quali
fied mtember of the Sargeant
Jasper chapter of Newberry—as
a matter of fact,' a charter mem
ber. But now that she spends
most of the winter months in
Greenville with her daughter,
Betsy Toohey (Mrs. E. S.), she
must of necessity keep her con
tact with the DAR here if she
is to keep it at all.
Mrs. McFall served the
state organization as an offi
cial for twelve years, and serv
ed with great distinction. There
fore the Nathanael Greene
chapter of Greenville, by vote
of its executive board, has done
itself and a great lady the hon-
of of making her an honorary
member.
It couldn’t have happened td
a nicer person.
If there’s anything I love
more than flag-waving, I don’t
think what it is at the moment.
This is Community Concert
week in Newberry. During
this week and this week only
residents of Newberry and sur
rounding locality will be offer
ed the opportunity of joining
the Newberry Community Con
cert Association.
John Clarkson, Association
President states that in the
past Newberry has been priv
ileged to have such memorable
concerts as those givei^ by the
Southern Symphony, Conrad
Thibault, Richard Farrell, Louis
Roney, Jean Carlton and Paul
King, and Sigi Weissenberg,
and that plans for the 1950-
1951 concert season call for top
quality of music and entertain
ment with only star performers.
Attendance at the concerts is
by membership only, it has
been pointed out by Dr. A. W.
Welling, General Chairman of
the Membership Drive. While
a canvass will be made both in
Newbeny and in the surround
ing area, a campaign head quar
ters will be kept open from 10
a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Chamber
of Commerce office to accept
memberships there.
Since the artists who appear
in the series are selected ac
cording to the number of mem
berships obtained during the
drive, no box-office admissions
to any of the concerts will - be
sold. Interest in the concerts
has been widespread through
out the Newberry area and en
thusiasm for the possibilities of
the ccming series has topped
that of all past years.
President Clarkson announces
that The Revelers, renowned
male quartet, will definitely ap
pear on the 1950-51 resies. This
announcement will please many
in Newberry who have heard
The Revelers in concert ap
pearances before. The Revel
ers are the best-known male
quartet in the world today.
The attention of the public is
called to the window in the
store of Verna and Had Kahn,
stressing the Community Con

MOTHER
My mother lived her days with quiet grace,
For kind she was to every living thing.
The changing seasons, summer, winter, spring,
Brought some new added goodness to her face.
Her patience and her wisdom strangely last:
The calm, sweet voice she had; the way her hand
Would cool my brow; her will to understand;
These now outline a pattern from the past.
Her hands were ever busy with the seam;
Or bending over flower beds with care.
She brought forth beauty to some spot long bare
And thus her years passed gently as a dream.
Time’s moving shuttle weaves a skillful art
In drawing Mother closer to my heart.

HOT AIR COSTLY
COLUMBIA, May 2—Al-
though the $1,000 salaries of
members of the General As
sembly have been paid the pro
longed legislative session is
still costing the taxpayers
$10,423 per week.
SALARIES of attaches of the
Legislature and Legislative
Council amount to $9,000 a
week and the travel of legis
lators — five cents per mile
per week — reach a total of
$1,423 a week, records in the
Co m'ptr oiler General’s office
show.
Checks covering travel of
members of the Legislature are
issued every two weeks, am
ounting to $748.80 for the Sen
ate or $374.40 per week and
$2,098.50 for the House or
$1,049.25 a week.
A Suprenye Court decision of
1948 prohibits the lawmakers
from appropriating extra pay
or extra expenses so members
attending the session now are
doing so on their own.
Some legislators receive as
much as $14 per week in tra
vel, almost enough to cover
hotel and living expenses while
in Columbia for the two-day
period.
DURING THE regular 40-day
legislative session the law
makers receive $100 a week
but remain in session only
three days each week. Fridays

Church Upheld In
Firing Members
Atlanta, Ga., May 9—A South
Georgia Primitive Baptist church
has decided that belief in labor
unions is “contrary to the ex
ample of Christ.” Sn. two
church members who disagreed
were expelled.
The two, J. B. Stewart and
Miss Christeen Stewart, appeal
ing their ouster all the way to
the Georgia Supreme court
said they loved the rustic old
line Primitive Baptist church
't Lyons, Georgia.
They said the church is “the
very heart and center” of their
lives. They had been members
for 10 years.
The Stewarts said they are
not union members, but simply
believe a church member has a
right to join a union if he likes.
But the court refused to set
aside the ouster. The seven jus
tices ruled unanimously that
the church has full power to
decide such questions itself,
whether the decision “appears
to be right or wrong.”
That was the argument of
attorneys for the church. They
told the court if a majority of
the church has determined—
“even perchance erronously—
that the Primitive Baptist'
church and labor unions just
can’t mix . . . then their deci
sion is final.”
They said the church has de
cided that “‘believing in labor
unions is incompatible with
tire discipline, tenets and doc
trines” of the church.

Growers Urged
See Equipment
South Carolina’s cotton grow
ers, especially the smaller far
mers, last night were urged by
Clemson Extension Service Di
rector D. W. Watkins to attend
county-wide meeting showing
equipment to fight boll weevil
and other cotton insects.
Three teams of Clemson ex-*
ports began a swing through
the state Monday covering six
counties a day. Each team in
cludes an entomologist, an agri
cultural engineer and a crops
man.
“The meetings thus far have
been well attended.” Watkins
said, “ but we would like to
have even more cotton growers,
especially the smaller farmers,
attend these demonstrations.
“As everyone knows, cotton
farmers face the biggest boll
weevil survival ever in South
Carolina and must prepare.”
Watkins said equipment
shown, made at Clemson, in
cludes a sprayer mounted on an
old Cole planter, another moun
ted on a riding cultivator and
equipped with an auxiliary
gas engine for spraying, and
dusting equipment. A film is
olso shown.
“Numerous farmers,” he said,
“have told us after seeing the
demonstration they plan to
make their own equipment. It
is practical and the parts are
available.”
As a choice between dusting
and poisoning weevils, Watkins
said both methods are recom
mended by the extension ser
vice. “Both are good,” he said.
Dates and counties to be
visited include:
May 4—.Edgefield, McCor
mick.
May 5—Greenwood, Abbe
ville.
May 8—Anderson, Oconee,
