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. Drive-In Theatre.

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.
The 13 units will be divided
into 50 apartments of varying
size and they will 'be rented to
negroes. About three months
wall 'be required to finish the
work.
The housing unit tis being
built by Frank E. Jordan, 'Earl
Summer and Ball Reid with
government financing plus somq
local' capital.
The apartments will rent for
a top of about $8 per week.
They will ‘be equipped with
stove, ice box and heating plant
and perhaps other household
accessories.
The building will be so ar
ranged as to provide courts, or
yards, for each apartment.
This is the first housing at
tempted here for negroes and a
survey made by the promoters
indlicates that little trouble will
be met in renting them.
The (government is soap posed
to get its money back eventu
ally from the rents, after which
the property will belong to the
promo tens.

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.
