THE NEWBERRY SUN
—
THIS UNFAMILIAR-LOOKING little midget of a car is a Ford “Thanderbird” and
standing beside it is the owner, Mrs. Clara Wertz. This new possession was won by
Mrs. Wertz when her name was drawn in a national contest sponsored by Columbia
Records. The unusual size and design of the car attracts attention wherever Mrs.
Wertz drives or parks it. And she is just as happy about the whole thing as she
looks in the picture. (Sunphoto.)

Improve. We are fortunate in
liaving Dr. D. E. Williams as head
«nd driving force of Negro instruc
tion. D|r. Williams is relentless in
bis drive to improve both physical
equipment and teacher quality. He
lias accomplished wonders in the
past 20 years and is to be expec
ted that he will double that in the
•future.
It is well known that I have no
•sympathy nor respect for the
■•‘tragedy of color” school of think
ing among us, whose fountainhead
Is the pressure group concerned
In this court ruling. I can see no
Tragedy in being too dark to be
Invited -to a white school social
Affair. The Supreme Court would
have pleased me more if they had
•concerned themselves about en-
lorcing the compulsory attendance
provisions for negroes in the
South as is done for white child
ren. The next 10 years would be
better spent in appointing truant
officers and looking after condi
tions in the homes from which
the children come. Use to the
limit what we already have.
THEM’S MY sentiments and I
am sticking by them. Growth from
within. Ethical atnd cultural de
segregation. It is a contradiction
in terms to scream race pride and
equality while at the same time
spurning negro teachers and self-
associatiqn. The old White Mare
business can go racking on down
the road for all I care.

Clemson, Aug. 22.—Cotton pick
ing is general throughout Coastal
plains and sandhill counties and
is beginning in the Piedmont area.
Where insect control practices
have been delayed or Stopped,
dahiage from boll weevils, boll-
worms, and boll rot continues To
increase. In the fields of rank cot
ton the lower bolls are rotting
and the immature bolls are being
attacked by insects. Average per
centage boll weevil infestation is
now reported as 20 per cent in
treated fields and 48 per cent in
untreated fields in the Piedmont
counties.
The Clemson Extensin Cotton
Committee meeting today make®
the following recommendations:
1. Defoliate rank cotton where
boll rot threatens. 2. Protect all
bolls less than three weeks old
from insect injury by continuing
insecticidal applications on a four
to five day schedule. The comm
ittee again recommends that in
secticides must be applied in , a
regular schedule in order to kill
the young boll worms because
large boll worms inside bolls can
not be controlled satisfactory. 3.
Pick cotton promptly after bolls
open. 4. Keep trash and grass
out of cotton in picking, handling
and storage. 5. Spread out
green or damp seed cotton to dry
before storage or grinning. 6.
Make standard weight bales of
450 to 55)0 -pounds.

criminal court. For this reason,
although Grand Juries must report
on the first day of a term to con
sider the Bills of Indictment, the
petit Jurors, who compose the
trial jury panels, are not required
to report until the second day of
court. Jail cases which can be
disposed of without jury trial and
as many other guilty pleas as
possible are taken on the first day
of court. During court, the sheriff
and his deputies are often^ called
on by the judge to give circum
stances of crimes.
“We are often called upon to
help locate missing persons from
this area and other areas, and to
assist in investigaticfns of loca
tions of escaped prisoners from
other parts of the state and
other states” the sheriff contin
ued. “We assist the highway pa
trolmen when there are highway
fatalities and serious accidents,
In keeping' the highway clear to
prevent further accidents.”
Mr. Fellers and his deputies in
vestigate all crimes reported to
the office. They are frequently
called upon to testify in the trial
of criminal cases. Much help is
received by the sheriff from the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
agent in Greenwood and from the
State Law Enforcement Division
in Columbia. The* FBI agent is
particularly helpful In the case of
auto thefts where automobiles
have been stolen and transported
across the state line, and SLED,
In addition to technical services
such as fingerprinting and blood
typing, will send an agent or
bloodhounds at any time to help
track down criminals.
Fingerprints are taken on all
prisoners sent to the chain gang
or to the penitentiary. Copies are
sent to Columbia and to the FBI
in Washington. Reports must also
be sent to the FBI in the follow
ing crimes committed in the coun
ty: criminal homicide, murder,
manslaughter, rape, robbery, ag
gravated assault, stealing, burg
lary, larceny, auto theft.
During the past seven years,
4326 persons have been jailed in
Newberry county. The most
crimes committed are assault and
battery with internt to kill, dis
orderly conduct, drunken driving,
grand larceny (sterling money or
goods valued at more than $20)
and petit larcemy (stealing money
or goods valued at less than $20.)
Supervising the activities of the
jail is Jailor Berley Shealy on
weekdays and Henry W. Lang
ford on Sundays. The jail will
house 64 prisoners, altogether,
with accommodations for three
white females and three colored
females, the remainder for male
prisoners. All females arrested by
the city are placed In the county
jail, inasmuch as the city has no
facilities for -female offenders.
The sheriff buys all food for
the prisoners, for which he is al
lowed 85 cents per day per pris
oner. To supplement this .there is
a garden at the jkil which provi
des vegetables during season. Mrs.
Fellers supervises the trusties of
the jail ia the preparation, of the
food for prisoners. The sheriff
and Jailor Shealy'ate proud of the
fact that good 1 reports on the
jail have always been given by
inspecting gravid juries. They
invite the public to inspect the
jail at any time.

Another duty performed by th*
sheriff’s force is the service of
civil papers, such as summons and
complaint and attachments, which,
are ontside the jurisdiction, of
magistrates. They collect execu
tions where possible and writ
books are kept showing the ser
vice of all civil papers, sales book,
lists property sold by the sheriff
on order of the court,, and execu
tion books show to whom prop
erty was sold. All costs of the
saleo are turned over to the coun
ty treasurer. A Jail Book is kept
for each fouj years showing a
record *fxf# ^persons jailed and
the disposition of each case.
Mr. Fellers was first elected to
his offipe in 1936 and served 8
years. He was succeeded by Ben'
F. Dawkins who served 4 years,
then was re-elected in 1948 and
again without opposition in 1952,

“Little Tree” Is
National Symbol
Columbia, August 19. — South
Carolina’s little tree with a big
reputation has moved up stage to
top /billing in the nationwide
Smokey Bear forest fire preven
tion campaign for 1956, according
to previews of material received
this week by the S. C. State
Commission of Forestry.
The familiar fire prevention
symbol of the hand of man shield
ing the little tree, which was de
veloped by the State Forestry
commission, appears as the basic
theme poster for the entire nat
ional campaign. Speaking in a
banner above the dramatic wood
land scene, Smokey says “Care
lessness Kills Tomorrow’s Trees
Too.”
Conducted by Die Advertising
Council in the public interest and
sponsored by state foresters thru-
out the country with the U. S.
Forest Service, this coperative
Forest Fire Prevention campaign
is supported by American indus
try in the amount of eight million
dollars w’orth of advertising time
and space contributed annually,
according to State Forester C. H.
Flory, a former member of the
national policy committee.

l.breakink-up party or graduation
exercises for the children. The
way the children said their verses
and did their skits without being
afraid amazed me. The children
really seemed to enjoy putting on
the program.
In the summer the children
have two month free. During this
time they are expected to work
only four half-days a week. While
in school they work 2 half days.
During the holidays they visit
friends and relatives.
When the children become 18,
they serve two years in the army.
Both boys and girls serve. There
is a regular army and an agricul
tural army. In the regular army
the whole time is devoted to mil
itary training. But in the agricul
tural army, only about four to
six ihonths are devoted to mili
tary tactics. Then they are placed
on kibbutz to learn the agricul
ture and the makings of a kib
butz. They have inspections but
not to fuch military training here
at Matsuva. They stay about a
year or the rest of their time in
the army. When discharged, they
go to establish new settlements
or to ones that have few members.
During the war these agricul
tural army boys and girls living
along the borders and in danger*
ous places' were placed in kibbut
zim for defense purposes.
