A sensible looking girl is
really not as sensible as she
actually looks, because a sen
sible girl has a whole lot
more sense than to look sen
sible.
Glasses have a profound
effect on a person’s vision,
especially when they have
been filled and emptied too
many times.

NEWBERRY
50 Years Ago
HELENA
Helena, Newberry’s pretty sub
urban village, lies a-inile and a
quarter northwest of the town,
at the junction of the Southern
Railway and Haurens Road, and
is located on what was then the
timber lands of the ajoining
estates of Judge O’Neall and
Thos. H. Rope, Esq. It was
established in 18C1 as the work
shop of the old (Ireenville and
Columbia Railroad—the houses of
the operatives springing up
around that central point within
the radius of a half mile. Not
being an incorporated town its
territory is without limitation.
The name is in honor of Helen,
the beloved wife of the illustrious
Chief Justice John Belton O’Neall,
who was at that time president
of the road.
For thirty years the works
were continued and the place
was alive with the noises incident
to a railroad town.
The first stated religious ser
vices were held in 1859 and were
conducted by the Rev. W. D.
Mayfield of the Baptist Church.
This was before the completion
of the church building, and the
congregation met in a private
house. During the war the Rev.
E. C. Logan, of the Episcopal
Church, resided in the village,
with other refugees from Charles
ton, and officiated regularly dur
ing that time. The building in
which he ministered has since
been removed.
As the years went by, the older
employees settled in homes of
their own, improving them from
time to time, and leading, to
all appearances, a contented and
prosperous life; but, alas, in
1881, the shops were dismantled
and the material removed to the
C. C. & A. road. This step was
soon felt to be a mistake, invol-
ing, as it did, much destruction
of property and distress among
the operatives, and certainly in
point of convenience Helena
would seem the place for the
shops, for, standing between the
terminal points of the road, help
when necessary could be speed
ily rendered to either side.
The sad part of the proceed
ing lay in the breaking up of the
community, for which few ex
ceptions, the employees w'ere forc
ed to follow or seek a living else
where; so most of the houses
were sold at a sacrifice or rented
at a vfery low rate, and the once
lively village became almost de
populated. Very sad must have
been this forced departure—the
tearing away of the affections
from the place called home.
Helena has much of natural
beauty, and could be developed
into a very attractive place..
Many pretty building sites might
be pointed out, and looking south
across a rolling country the view
is very fine. We feel confident
that not very many years will
have passed ere we shall see
these vacant places transformed
for already has the change be
gun and soon will the fields and
woodlands which now stretch be
tween Newberry and Helena be
things of the past.

increase In Net Sales Of 13
Millions Shown By Kendall
Net sales of The Kendall
Company for the weeks ended
June Id, 1951, were $49,52G,UOO
or 36^ higher than net sales of
$25.386.000 in the same period
last year, but net earnings were
only slightly larger. R. R. Hig
gins, president, reported to stock
holders yesterday. His semi-an
nual report covered operations of
the company at its 18 domestic
and foreign plants, two of which
are the Mollohon and Oakland
Mills at Newberry.
Consolidated net earnings for
the first 24 weeks this year were
$2,825,000 as compared with $2,-
743,000 in the corresponling per
iod last year.
During the second quarter,
sales volume was 17% lower
than in the first 12 weeks of this
year. Mr. Higgins attributed this
reduction to curtailed demand in
buying activity caused by over
supply, declining cotton prices
and uncertainties with respect
to price control..
Operations in the second quart
er also were affected by produc
tion losses incurred at the
Chicago and South Bend plants,
which were closed by strike early
in May and reopened in mid-
July following settlement. Simi
lar interruptions of relatively
short duration occurred at two of
the company’s cotton mills.

Presbyterians Set Tithing
Plan For 3-Month Period
The session and the diaconate
of the Aveleigh Presbyterian
church Monday announced plans
for a three-month tithing adven
ture in which all members will
be urged to give one-tenth of
their income during September,
October and November.
September 9 has been designat
ed “Sign Up Sunday” and every
member of the congregation will
be asked to sign special enlist
ment cards during the morning
worship service or later in their
homes.
The pastor, Neil E. Truesdale,
said the pastor, elders and dea
cons will be the first to sign the
special cards agreeing to deduct
ten percent from every paycheck
during the period September 15-
Dec. 15.
To be known as “Our Tithing
Adventure,” Mr. Truesdale said
the purpose of the drive would
be to help raise funds to under*
gird the work of religious educa
tion and home and foreign mis
sions in a time of spiraling infla
tion. All Southern Presbyterian
churches are participating.
“Just over four years ago
southern Presbyterians set for
themselves a five-year goal of
$7,850,000.00 for this important
work,” Mr. Truesdale said. “With
less than a year to go we must
raise half of the original amount
and only three months of tithing
by our churches will do the job.”

berry, was appointed to the
Farmers Home administration
committee for Newberry county,
Marion P. McMeekin, local sup
ervisor for the agency, said to
day. The appointment was made
by R. F. Kolb, state director.
The new committeeman is a
general farmer and a long-time
resident of the Jalapa community
and a graduate of Newberry col
lege. His experience in develop
ing a successful family-type farm
fits him well for his new as
signment in aiding other farmers
to do the same, Mr. McMeekin
said. He will serve three years.
McMeekin explained that all
applications for Farmers Home
administration credit must be ap
proved by the county committee
before loans can be made. When
a real estate loan is being con
sidered to buy, enlarge or develop
a farm or to improve housing and
farm buildings, the committee aU
so determines how much the farm
is worth as security for the loan.
Advice of the committeemen is
sought on good farm management
and on the refinancing of Farm
ers Home administration loans
when borrowers build up enough
equity in their property to get
credit from local banks or other
lenders, McMeekin added. Farm
ers who can get private or co
operative credit are not eligible
for loans from the agency, he
said.
Long succeeds Claude L. Lest
er, farmer of the Hartford com-
Ynunity, whose three-year term
expired June 30.
Members who continue to serve
are Daivd L. Ruff, Rt. 2, Newber
ry, and Claude Satterwhite, Rt.
3, Newberry.

Checks Show Increased Infestation
Field checks made by New- tion count is to walk diagonally
berry County Agents during the
past week show a considerable
increase of boll weevil infesta
tion. There is a large variation
in the number of punctured
squares from field to field. This
infestation varies from as low as
4% to as high as 55%. This
large variation makes it very im
portant that all farmers keep a
very close check on their cotton
in order that control measures
may be effectively used.
A simple and accurate method
of making a boll weevil infesta-
across a field, picking 100 square
at random from the top, middle
and lower branches. The number
of punctured squares found gives
the percentage infestation by boll
weevils in that field. Count
both egg laying and feeding
punctures as punctured squares.
If the field is extra large or if
conditions vary greatly within the
field, it is desirable to take more
than one sample of 100 squares.
This serious situation makes it
extremely urgent that individual
growers keep a close check on
their fields and use their own
judgement as practices to follow,
where weevil infestation ap
proaches 10% control methods
should be used in order to pro
tect young bolls that are likely
to be damaged when fruiting is
slowed down.
Several outbreaks of Red
Spider have been found. For
control of Red Spider It is rec
ommended that dusting sulphur
be used at the rate of 20 pounds
per acre. This control measure
should start as soon as Red
Spider is found and more than
one application will likely be
necessary for control.
