MRS .WHITE RETURNS
FROM LOCAL HOSPITAL
Mrs. J. W. White who has been
a patient in the Newberry County
Memorial Hospital for a week un
dergoing treatment, returned to
her home on Caldwell street last
Friday, where she is now doing
nicely.
I N SOME parts of the country,
a license is required for those
who live in trailers and pick up
pennies by reading tea leaves, yet
every day hundreds of prominent
folks about the nation make all
sorts of fantastic predictions and
it isn’t costing them a eent. I
propose a profuse tax be levied
against anyone indulging in any
thing related to the art of prog
nosticating.
I don’t propose in any way to
do away with free speech. Every
body has the right to speak his
mind. It just seems to me that a
lot of people are predicting things
they really don’t believe merely
to get their name in the headliries.
For instance, I read three sepa
rate articles recently. Each was
written by a V. I. P. They pre
dicted, in this order: 1. We will
have another war within three
months. 2. We will have a war
within one year. 3. We will have a
war within five years. Seems as
if I read somewhere where some
body said we wouldn’t have an
other war, but if I did, the guy
didn’t know what he was talking
about. Three-to-one are pretty good
odds in any game.
War is only one thing. There are
predictions we’ll reach the moon
in a few years; the world will end
soon; America will become an ice
berg within a few decades; the
Communists will win the world.
I’m no worrier, but these things
bother me. I wonder if the people
who forsee these things so qlearly
would be so quick to tell the world
about it if they were required to
buy a license before prognosti
cating?

By LYN (CONNELLY
SOUTHERNERS will be glad to
^ know that the birthplace of the
composer of the song, “Dixie,”
is being restored as a museum
. . . The home of Daniel Decatur
Emmett who also wrote “Old
Dan Tucker,” was saved from
wrecking in Mt Verqon, Ohio, by
Dr. Robert L. Eastman and Ogden.
Win term ate . . . The two men
plan on restoring the house and
placing in it the original “Dixie”
manuscript Emmett’s violin, 'his
piccolo and all the home’s orig
inal furniture . . . The composer
was bom October 29, 1815, and
worked on newspapers in addi
tion to his musical activities . . .
He died in 1904. -
One of the best situation com
edy shows to hit television in many
a moon is “Norby,” a new series
starring David Wayne . . . The
story of a small town banker, it
has humor, pathos and a wee bit
of fantasy to make it a standout
amongst family shows . . . And,
of course, the presence of Wayne,
one of the most talented young
men in the theatrical field today,
is an additional asset . . . Bob
Hope’s latest movie effort “Seven
Little Foys,’’ is probably his best
picture to date . . . You’ll see a
new Hope in this one.
PLATTER CHATTER
CAPITOL—Ray Anthony makes
the wax sizzle with his terrific
•rendition of “Heat Wave” ...
Reverse has “Juke Box Special”
. . . Odd that Ray has never had
a really big hit record; he has
such a fine band . . The Hutton
Fosters, namely Betty and Marion,
eombine talent in a cute novelty
that’s going big, “Ko Ko Mo” . . .
The flip side has “Heart Throb”
. . * The Five Keys have a good
disc in “Doggone It You Did It”
backed by “Close Your Eyes” . . .
Jane Fromaa keeps rolling out
the excellent sides in “I Wonder”
and “I’ll Never Be the Same.”

1953, Richard R. Higgins, Presi
dent reported to stockholders. Af
ter provision for preferred divi
dends, 1954 earnings were $4.07
per common share as against $5.07
in 1953. The company is a major
producer of textile specialties, sur
gical dressings and allied products,
and operates 17 domestic and for
eign plants, including the Mollo
hon and Oakland plants at dew
berry, S. C. .
Common dividends on the 1,000,-
000 shares outstanding were $2.00
per share hi 1954, as against $1.90
per share in 1953 on a comparable
basis. v' :
Two He-
■ SF
Net sales in 1954 were $93,184,-
000, a decline of $7,149,000 from
the record high of 1963—largfely
due to a lower volume of Govern
ment business. Competitive con-;
ditions in the textile industry
throughout the year resulted Ih
depressed market prices, witk
lower profit margins and net
earnings. However, demand for
consumer products continued
show growth.
Working capital increased $1,-
680,000 during the year. Capital
outlays were $1,742,000 for 1954,
and normal capital outlays In 1955
are expected to be slightly higher.
In addition, the company has an
nounced plans for the construction
of a new finishing plant in Beth-
une, S. C.
* Commenting on the outlook, Mr.
Higgins said: “Sincd the turn of
the year, incoming orders have
been at a higher rate than In 1954.
However, there has not yet been
any significant improvement in
profit maiYtac with this influx of
bfUglaese and it is realistic to ex-
tp pect a continuation of competitive
conditions in 1955.”
