In Newberry county at the end
of last year 521 retired workers
were receiving 326,774 in monthly
social security payments, accord
ing to figures just released from
the Social Security administra
tion office at Greenwood.
In addition to the retired work
ers themselves, 623 people were
receiving $18,194 a month as de
pendents of aged workers or as
survivors of those who bad died.
These amounts represent an In
crease of 30 per cent over the
benefits being paid at the end of
1953, due primarily to the 1954
Amendments to the social security
law, which increased all benefits.
One of the changes in the law
made it possible for the first time
for the survivors of some workers
who died after 1939 and before
September 1950 to qualify for
payments..
Beginning in September 1954
the amendments permit the drop
ping out of up to five years of
lowest earnings in figuring the
worker's average monthly wage.
This has the ellfect of increasing
the average earnings, from which
the monthly payments are figur
ed. Other improvements in the
law did not go into effect until
the first day of 1955; although
these changes had not affected
the payments that were being
made at the end of 1954, they will
contribute to further increases in
the total amount of benefits pay
able in Newberry county during
this year. Among the amendments
that went into effect on the first
of the year, one changes the rules
for receiving payments while the
beneficiary Is working, one ex
tends coverage to many kinds ot
work that did not count toward
social security benefits before 19-
55, and another increases the
maximum amount of annual earn
ings creditable toward benefits
from $3600 to $4200.
. A major change made by the
1954 Amendments was provision
of a method by which totally dis
abled workers can protect their
future benefit rights by “freezing”
their social security wage records
while they are disabled. This can
increase the. payments now being
made to many people who are al
ready 65 but were disabled for a
considerable period before they
reached 65.
Of the workers receiving old-
age insurance benefits in Newber
ry county at the end of the year,
155 had wives or husbands who
were entitled to payments as de
pendents. Benefits to wives and
aged dependent husbands amount
ed to $4060 per month.
Children made up a large group
of beneficiaries; 314 of them were
receiving $8325 in benefits at the
end of the year. Most of these
children of younger workers who
had died, but some were children
of retired workers.
If their father has died and
children receiving benefits are ii)
the care of their mother, the mo
ther also receives benefits. In
Newberry county 7© mothers re
ceived $2396 per month at the end
of 1954.
$3423 a month went to 85 aged
widows and aged dependent wid
owers and parents of deceased
workers.
These local figures for olcf-age
and survivors insurance payments
reflect a nation trend. In the
country as a whole, there were 6,-
886,480 people receiving benefit
payments at the end of 1954, or
nearly a million more than in
December 1953.
The office stressed the import
ance of these benefits as the
greatest or the oqly source of in
come to many of the families who
received them. “Two out of three
people now reaching age 65 can
qualify for old-age and survivors
insurance benefits and nine out
of tenj mothers and children in
the country are assured of survi
vors benefits in case of the death
of the family breadwinner.”
Money to pay these benefits
comes from the Old Age and Sur
vivors Insurance Trust Fund,
which is built up from social sec
urity tax contributions of workers
their employees, self employed
people.

Mr. William Eugene Attaway were

Lutheran Church of Newberry.
The double ring ceremony was

mobiles. We go to see the taxpay
er and find neither the automobile
nor the owner. This necessitates
another trip—many times several
trips, and one man with little help
finds it practically impossible to
cover the whole county in oollec
tion of personal property taxes.
“It is somewhat embarassing to
feel that there are delinquent tax
payers that should be called up
on,” he continued, “yet if the tax
collector leaves the office too of
ten, he cannot be present to ac
cept taxes of those who make calls
for that purpose.”
If taxes are owned on mort
gaged property, the tax collector
must inform the mortgage holder.
All real estate taxes must he col
lected. If not, they are subject to
being paid from the $10,000 bond
required of the tax collector.
Mr. Hill keeps what he calls a
“personal cash . book” in which
he makes daily entries of taxes
paid. He turns in cash in the
bank to the treasurer once a
mouth.
Property levied upon need not
he identified, explained Mr. Hili.
That is, if property shown on
the auditor’s hook consists of a
1953 automobile and we go to levy
on it and find the taxpayer now
has a 1954 auto, we levy upon it
just the same.” Personal property
may be sold to satisfy real estate
delinquent taxes, but real estate
may not be sold to satisfy person
al property tax.
Mr. Hill has been efficiently col
lecting delinquent taxes for the
county since June 1944. His is not
an elective job. He is appointed
for a two-year term by the county
legislative delegation, and is
commissioned by the governor.
Registration Up
In Newberry County
Automobile registrations in S.
C. had increased nearly 36,000 at
the end of June this year over the
corresponding period of 1954, the
State highway department stud
ies reveal.
In Newberry county, the 1955
licensing period through June 30
shows 8592 automobiles and buses
registered; for the corresponding
period of last year it was 8203.
There were 561,555 automobiles
which had been issued 1955 lic
ense plates by‘ June 30, according
to the registration report. The
1954 licenses issued during the
comparable period total 525,730.
Nineteen fifty five automobile
and bus registration reached 567,-
191 as compared to 526,447 for
the same period of 1954. There are
708,385 vehicles carrying 1956
licenses throughout the state ac
cording to the report while 667,-
786 obtained license during the
same period the previous year.
These last figures include, in ad
dition to automobile and bus reg
istration, trucks, trailers and
motorcycles.
Four counties, Aiken, Allend-
aale, Barnwell and Clarendon had
decreases rather than increases
in registrations.
