VOL. 13—NO. 7 NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNE 23, 1950 + $1.50 PER YEAlIM THE NEWBERRY DRIVE-IN THEATRE WILL BE OPEN SUNDAY NIGHT. JUNE 25 Editor of The Sun: We are making the above an nouncement .because we hate to see Justice dlictated to, dictated to by a •group of preachers, Rev. DuBose, Rev. Estes, Rev. Gor- dy. Rev. Monroe, and Rev. Sherrill, representing the New berry Ministerial Association. The Newberry Drive-In Thea tre operated for seven months, on Sundays, as well as week days, without any attempted) suppression of its activities. If it is wrong now to operate on Sunday, it was wrong then, and the law enforcement officers of this county should be repri- mlanded for not doing their du ty in closing a business violat ing the state laws. We are*' law-abiding citizens, and are willing to obey the law to the letter (if it is to be ad ministered impartially to ALL violators); however, we will not sit back and watch the Drive-In Theatre singled out of all the other business establish ments operating in Newberry County on Sunday. Some of these establishments offer whis key and beer for sale, items which are definitely more harm ful than the Drive-In Theatre. We have been 'before Magis trate’s Court twice; the first (time we were found to 'be “not guilty,” and the second time, the case was considered a mis trial, because the jury could not reach a decision. We feel that these two decisions indi cate the will of the people, and it is for this reason, as well as others, that we have decided to operate the Drive-In Thea tre this Sunday. We recently made a special trip to Columbia to confer with Governor Strom Thurmond, con cerning the matter, and the Governor assured us that our could not bother us, without also bothering the oth er known violators in the Cdunty. And know about these other businesses operating on Sunday, • our Sheriff does, for so he ad mitted! while under oath on the stand during our recent trial. Other interesting facts brought out at the trial were that Sher iff Tom M. Fellers had told our attorney, Mr. R. Aubrey Harley, that he could not bother us as long as we did not offer any tickets for sale (and then he changed his mind and slapped warrants on us for complying with his directions). He stated that he did not en force the “no operation of busi ness on • Sunday” law on any establishments other than the Drive-In Theatre because such enforcement would involve too many people. That’s no excuse for not enforcing a law, it should be all the more reason to enforce it. We wish to state publicly that it Is not our intention to inter fere with the functions of the Church, in fact it as for this express purpose that we oper ate on Sundays only after church hours. Our sole purpose in operating Sunday movies is to provide wholesome, healthy entertain ment for the families of New berry and surrounding commun ities, and at the same put the Drive-In Theatre on a paying ■A basis, for it is our sole source of income. Incidentally, my husband is, at this very mo ment, in the Newberry County Memorial Hospital, where he is recovering from a 'heart attack, brought on mainly from the worry and agitation caused by this apparent miscarriage of justice in Newberry County. I am asking all you good peo- to come on out to the Drive- Theatre this Sunday, it will be open. (Signed) Mrs. Rook P. Brown Sec.

WORK STARTS ON NEGRO HOUSING Carter Construction company started excavating Wednesday preparatory to erecting the 13 units of the Joe B. Williams apartments on Vincent street.

Funeral held at the A SHAMEFUL INCIDENT .. . Three brules passing for human beings Saturday nighl dragged a lilile 12- year old Negro girl from her home in the Johnston school section a couple of miles out of the city, raped her and iaffUcted serious injuries upon her body. County police found the child early Sunday morning' in a stunned condition wan dering aimlessly along a country road. Nothing within our mem- mory has so stirred the in dignation of our people as this brutal attack upon a defenceless child. Thai tha act was commit ted upon a negro child nq^ses it no less reprehensible. The very fact that tha child is a negro places an adddi- lional obligation upon the white courts to see that these brutes are swiftly dealt with. These beasts of animality, of lust, of cruelly dragged the unprotected child from her home and subjected her to their ruthless passion for hours. How even such sin- soaked apes as these could have committed such a hein ous crime passes human comprehension. In the hearts of all de cent men and women there is a sense of shame that such brutes are among their numbers and they will not be satisfied until they have paid with ihair lives for this nightmare of fear and pain visited upon an inno cent child.
