1218 College Street NEWBERRY, S. C. PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY By ARMFIELD BROTHERS Entered as second-class matter December 6, 1937, at the Postoffice at Newberry, South Carolina, under the Act of Conjrress of March 3, 1879. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: In S. C., $1.50 per year in advance outside S. C., $2.00 per year in advance. RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION A SPIRITUAL TONIC How about the “Glorious 4th?’’ What’s it all about? Is It just a day for a frolic? Is It Just a day off from work and a time for a trip? la it the day for careless driving? There must be a reason for the great day, for frolics and bad driving are the rule every day, seven days a week, the Sum day driving being about the worst. July is usually a hot month in North America; very appropriate ly in July our founding patriots became hotly indignant because King George III wouldn't heed their call or respect their peti tion. That arrogant monarch wouldn’t even receive the mes sage or the messenger we sent. Times have changed. Nothing the foolish old King did to us was even a small fraction of what Harry Truman has done to us, but most Americans take it with submission, getting only such re lief as a bit of strong language will give. Thomas Jefferson be lieved that occasional revolts and uprisings aie good for the State and Nation; they stir us out of our apathy or they ease the tu mult of our spirits. A bit of righteous indignation is a spirit ual tonic and it wells up from a conviction that something is bad ly wrong. We have almost lost our capac ity for such deep feeling as lifts us from the level of unprotesting complacence to the rarefied heights where the patriots lived. Thirteen colonies belonging to the British crown were resentful of some mild taxes. Money and money value did not move them to action. Like John Hampden who refused to pay an English tax because of the principle in volved, our earlier Americans pro tested against some small taxes because they challenged the right to impose the taxes. We today see and have seen the Administration in Washington lead us into every extravagance, but we have no Sapiuel Adams and no Patrick Henry. One mink-eoat scandal in the early days would have blasted the Administration into bits; any one of a thousand other scandalous proceedings would have wrecked the Party; the colossal waste of public money; the utter, sheer destruction of billions of dollars of war supplies; and misuse, mis appropriation of public property— any of these things would have been so nauseating as to upset the Nation. They don’t move us deeply; we have become callous; our sense of right and wrong has been transformed into admiration for the smartness of crooks who “get away with it.” America did not want independ ence from Britain, as late as 1774. Even Washington refused to think of it; he was loyal to the King and the Mother Coun try. We recall the thrill of the Battle of Bunker Hill, yet even then our people were not desirous of independence. In 1775 Pennsyl vania instructed its delegates to the Continental Congress “to dis sent from and utterly reject any propositions, should such be made, that may cause or lead-to a separation from our mother country.” New Jersey did like wise. Maryland’s resolution says that its people “never did nor do entertain any views or desires on independency.’’ New York and Delaware were in general agree ment with Pennsylvania and Maryland against independence; and then came New Hampshire and North Carolina declaring against proposals or suggestions of independence. l' say this with a bow to our distinguished Mr. A. S. Salley, whose unfailing knowledge could throw more light on all this. Washington’s letter was the sort of forthright decla ration we could expect from Vir ginia’s great son: “I am well satisfied” he said, “Th*t no such thing as independ ence is desired by any thinking man in all North America.” Wash ington was right, only about«^99 per cent right, for Samuel Adams, Joseph Warren and James Otis were even then insisting on inde pendence. How did the Colonies and Washington change their minds so completely within a short time, just a couple of years? The King wouldn’t receive their petition; his majesty declared that the Colonists, our American patriots, were in a state of rebellion. Rul ers and leaders might well pon der this: the Americans were pa tient, loyal, submissive, though protesting, until the King closed the door. Even though we South ern people have much to offend us, only three States had the courage, the high principle, to carry their conviction to the bal lot-box in 1948, one being our own South Carolina. Still, there is hope. In 1928 many Southern States revolted against the Demo cratic Party and its candidate. Bishop James Cannon was a man of war, a sort of flaming prophet of old, a mind and energy that never tired, and a crusader of the Hew! 'Different! TUSSY STICK DEODORANT .'X just dab it on...

Th^ old Virginian turned against the Democratic candidate was largely the result of Bishop Cannon’s work; and this incom parable campaigner had a large part in arousing most of the South against the Democratic candidate. So it can be done; and, perhaps, it may be done again— who knows? Sometimes one man can do much. When the Democratic nomination was virtually ready for Champ Clark, William J. Bry an, previously a Clark supporter, denounced the drift toward Tam many and by a great speech won the nomination for Woodrow Wilson. Until Bryan’s speech Mr. Wilson had no chance at all. Be hold the work of one man! July is a month of patriotic ob servance; many of our Nations or North and South America cele brate in July; and so does France. The American patriots lighted a torch and oppressed men saw it and took up arms for their own deliverance. Sometimes I think # the differ ence between the early patriots and ourselves is about this: Pat rick Henry said “I know not what course others may take, but as for me give me liberty or give me death.” Now our course seems to be something like this: “We got to make a deal; its give and take. If they favor us we play ball with them, but its got to be on the barrel head.” With us life is too much of a game; with them it was more serious. We need a little more of the piety of the Scotch minis ter who rebuked his son, a base ball pitcher, for deceiving the batters and for throwing under hand balls. If we practice under hand stuff on the ball field, only, our nation will not suffer dry rot. What about South Carolina? I told you of the man from Calif ornia who came East full of the California spirit, the spirit of boosting and boasting. He attend ed a funeral in the neighborhood. When the minister invited re marks about the deceased brother and a long silence followed, our Californian rose and said “ Breth ren, if no one else has anything to say, I’d like to tell you a few things about California.” So, I like to tell a few things about South Carolina, forgetting for a moment that we seem to have been double-crossed about the Sales Tax. Almost everybody as sumed that there would be sub stantial reductions in property taxes, school taxes and other heavy taxes, the so-called floor- taxes included, of course. But that general idea of equitable taxation' seems to have been knocked into a cocked-hat; so what we have is just so much more taxes, though it is said that the tax on beer has been reduced somewhat. But we may take heart and refresh our spirits since skimmed-milk and clabber remain to cheer us up. But South Carolina remains, al beit, with no Patrick Henry. Things are moving, just the same. I’ve just read the address of Gor don Dean, Chairman of the Atom ic Energy Commission, before the Chamber of Commerce of the State of New York. The problem, in brief, is to find adequate sup plies of Uranium, then to take purified uranium and produce the WANT ADS FOR RENT—3 room apartment with bath, close in.

GEORGE E. WARD fissionable materials known as U-235 and plutonium. Both, said Mr. Dean, are of the utmost im portance to us, for both can be made. to release the energy lock ed in the hearts of their atomic nuclei, either violently, as in a bomb, or slowly, as in a nuclear reactor.’’ I don’t know if Senator Edgar Brown knows the chemi cal formula and can make the bomb, though atomic energy has been observed in old Barnwell for some years. Still this great investment of $900,000,000 in Barnwell and Aiken counties be came known to us through Barn well’s Senator. The figures $900,- 000,000 are used by Mr. Dean in his address. Says Mr. Dean: “Our contractor is E. I. duPont de Ne mours Company . . . which we have recently engaged to con struct and operate our new $900,- 000,000 production plant to be lo cated near Aiken, South Carolina. This plant is being so designed that it can be used to produce materials for fission weapons or hydrogen weapons, or for fueling reactors.” I had just read the address of Mr. Dean when my eye fell on the story of Plant Hagood, the big electric plant near Charles ton. All the great power enter prises have increased their facili ties. And the Companies seem to be carrying extra-heavy loads, for all the hydro-electric plants are spending hundreds nf thousands of dollars for coal, as well as bearing heavier taxes all the time. It is not surprising ■ that Rail Roads, Bus Companies, and every other kind of enterprise, raises its prices and rates. I ob serve that my bus fare from here to my home is up; and the Rail Roads are up—and everything else is up. We must be an aspir ing people because we are always going up. We can understand that. We live so intermingled that the rise ftf one thing reaches all, in some measure- There is a puzzle to me: men speak of aluminum as requiring cheap electricity. Is there any reason why any product should be supplied electricity for less than* other products? I throw this in for consideration: every prod uct should bear its own weight. Almost everydays this great Plant Hagood drings $5000 worth of fuel, 80,000 gallons of oil com ing through a pipe line. From the booklet of The South Carolina Electric & Gas Co. I read that this plant in Charleston, just one of their many plants, uses water from the City of Charleston, feed- water, about 600 gallons a min ute, but the circulating pumps bring from the Ashley River three million gallons every hour to cool steam condensers. There are three generating units of this Plant Hagood (and a fourth is in prospect). Each of these three generators could supply 50,000 homes and each produces power equal 1 * * to 300 automobile engines. Last week I expressed the hope that some electrical engineer would tell us about waats, kilo watts and kilowatt hours. I find in this interesting booklet that each of Plant Hagood’s genera tors produces a constant flow of 22,500,000 watts, or 22,500 kilo- Well, let’s leave all this ener gy discourse, from Nuclear fis sures and fissionized materials, to plain, reliable old electricity, and think of something else. So I quote that battling journal, The Aiken Standard & Review; now under the editorship of Mrs. An nie H. King, a very charming per son, but a reel fighter: “Here is more compelling evi dence of the fact that the goal of many men high in the govern ment is to socialize the utility as rapidly as possible, and to create a vast Federal power monopoly which would dominate agricul ture, business and other segments of the economy. The amendment which would prevent the construction of dupli cating lines is particularly im portant. In various places where the government is operating pow er plants, the private utilities have completed networks which reach all existing and potantial consumers. The government pow er can be transmitted over these networks at a minimum expense to all concerned. To build dupli cating systems would simply be wasting money. It would, further, be an inexcusable waste of man power and materials in a critical period. Yet that is exactly what Interior wants to do. We ne^d a lot less socialism in this country now, not more. If the government went out of the power business tomorrow, private enterprise would go right ahead giving dependable, low-cost serv ice to all who want it. The ac tions taken by the House are a step in the right direction.” LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA County Of Newberry By E. Maxcy Stone WHEREAS, B.

The church was lovely with floor baskets of white* gladioli and carnations, tied with white satin ribbon, before a background of white with traceries of plumo- sus fern. A large and beautiful central arrangement of carnations and gladioli was flanked by 4 white candles in triple holders and in the background tall cathedral tapers burned in graduated can delabra. Palms were used at inter vals on the white-draped chancel and in the choir loft and scheff- leras were banked on either side. The couple used a white satin kneeling pillow; and reserved pews were marked with white carnations and greenery tied with wide white satin ribbon. Dr. Homer L. F. Shuler, pastor of the Church performed the dou ble ring ceremony in the pres ence of a large assemblage of relatives and friends. . The wedding music was pre sented by .

The bride’s lovely beauty was enhanced by her exquisite gown of nylon marquisette and Chan tilly lace. The tiny marquisette yoke trimmed in Chantilly lace was outlined with a petal design in seed pearls bordered by a deep marquisette frill. The fitted bodice had long sleeves with tap ering points and tiny buttons at the wrists, and the full flowing skirt formed of marquisette and wide bands of Chantilly lace al ternating with marquisette frills fell into a beautiful sweeeping circular train of lace and frills. Her fingertip veil of imported bridal illusion was attached to a Juliet cap finished with braided satin and seed pearls and her bouquet was of white purple- throated orchids encirdled with white butterfly orchids and steph- anotis. The bride entered with her un cle, R. T. Albrecht of Newberry, by whom she was given in mar riage.
