( harb'ston would be the obvious port for handling the material Fear of this cargo was a big obstacle So the Ports Authoiity called a citizens meeting with rep resentatives of business, the pro fessions, t he school boards, and public officials of the city, the ciMinty and the state. A rlU offi cials were asked to explain the pi ecaut ions established for hand ling hot cargo. When the meeting ended a reso lution was drawn up favonng the decision to seek tbis business for the port; and, what is even more indicative of the spirit that, is be hind the port’s upsurge, another resolution cited the community’s pride in being the pioneer port handling radioactive material. Since January of this year, such cargo has been coming ami going. Tho amounts have been small, compared with the thousands of tons of wool, long st a file cotton, newsprint and other materials that cross the piers in fabulous amounts. But no one doubts this business will increase. The big point is that it indicates the trend in Charleston ami in South Carolina — the once backward state that has M-u every other state in the union in its increase of trade s.nce trie end of World War 11. New York can call South Caro lina a mouse if it wants to, hut it should keep an eye on its huge block of cheese, or it will be nib bled away by the men from Dixie. a bo ut 2:40 p.m. Julv t . f isteii rom j letitive s|> irit.

He said the train which was traveling about 2o miles per hour, struck the car near the middle. In the death of A. <’. Hallman, Negro youth, on July 4, the jury ruled that, “He came to his death of his own carelessness from jumping from the back of a moving truck." The testimony was to the effect that the deceased was trying to retrieve his hat which had blown off. He died in a Columbia hospital several hours later from head injuries. The jury ruled that Joe Lewis Singley, young Negro man who died June 22, came to his death as the result of a bullet wound acci dentally inflicted by O’Neal Bick- ley. Bickley was showing Singley a ,22 German pistol offered for sale by a friend, when it discharg ed striking Singley in the chest. The accident occurred at a service station near Little Mountain. business it can lay hands on. This is what must v.orry New York.

The Port of New York Author ity some time ago opened offices out John H. Shirey Dies Monday John Henry Shirey, 76, died Monday night at the home of his niece, Miss Ruby Kinard, Pope Street in Newberry, after several years of declining health. Mr. Shirey was born and rear ed in Lexington County, a son of the late Nordaci and Elizabeth Bickley Shirey. He was a mem ber of Lexington Baptist Church. He was a barber having worked in Columbia before moving to Newberry more than 30 years ago, where he was with the New berry Hotel Barber Shop until his retirement six years ago. Surviving are a number of nieces and nephews. He was the last surviving member of his im mediate family. Funeral services were conduct ed at 3:30 p.m. "Wednesday at the McSwain Funeral Home in New berry by Rev. Dr. Clarence K. Derrick.

A few years ago the South Carolina State Ports Auth ority opened similar agencies—one right in this city—and has been "stealing” business ever since. In some cases, rates are lower. In others, the advantage lies in a virtually complete absence of pil ferage on the docks, and less labor trouble. This was the real expla nation behind the increase at Charleston which led the federal government to report: "In total volume of ousiness done, one of the most spectacular advances in the nation was in South Carolina, where that dist rict’s $280 million was 14.7 per cent better than in 1960—sixth greatest rate of rise among all districts.” Charleston’s incredible boom has come while New York has been battling to keep on top of the heap. Actually it has come only in the last five years. In 1956 Charleston was 65th place in the national rating. That year the state of South Carolina passed a law allowing the Ports Authority to issue general obliga tion bonds. A year later construc tion started on modernizing the city’s piers. Within a year the port’s business curve started mounting. “If you keep ships waiting— even a day—you can throttle busi ness seriously,” said Capt. C. G. Barr Jr., general manager of the SCSPA. “When you’re fighting to get business from other ports you can’t antagonize either shippers or carriers.” Capt. Barr, just retired from the Navy and hired to spark Char leston’s search for business, said “a new breed of men” in South Carolina is responsible for the up swing. “Eeveryone—pilots, tugboat op erators, steamship agents, steve doring firms, shippers and labor— is cooperating to get cargo mov ing through this port,” said the Captain. “It’s one big, compatible team.” The best proof of how the team work pays off is Charleston’s de- Saturday Is Recreation Day Recreation Day will get under way Saturday morning at 9 a.m. at Mollohon playground.

A similar program will be car ried on for the colored iccreation division of the Recreation depart ment. College Tickets Still On Sale “Take your family out to foot ball games at Newberry college this fall; purchase tickets now while they are available at re duced prices,” says L. C. Graham, college director of Public Relat ions. Under the family plan, parents may purchase season tickets at reduced prices and a season ticket for each child for one dollar. This enables the entire family to sit together at low cost. High school students may pur chase a season ticket in the stu dent section and save $3.90. Mem bers of the Indian club who have not yet reserved tickets may do so before August 30. After August 30, all tickets will be sold at the regular price.

When the convoy reaches ns destination, the re mainder of Sunday will be spent getting the camp established. Mon day the M-42 guns will be placed ready for firing, and test firing will be the order of business for the next four days. Saturday will be set aside for inspection—inspection by the Ad jutant General of South Carolina, Major General Frank D. Pinck ney, and a group of distinguished visitors who will accompany him to Stewart Friday and remain un til Saturday for “Visitors Day.” The troops will have a break over the weekend, and on the second Monday will go to the “field” for a four-day problem. Waiting for them at the end of four days of “roughing it” will be a happier occasion—for the last Friday at camp is pay day for the troops. The Guardsmen will leave on Sunday at 7 a.m. for the journey home. Arrival time is expected to be about 2 p.m. i i Call to Prayer Dear Lord, help ub to see that if our work for Thee is hampered by fear it is because we feel that we are working alone, and help us to realize that when we are working for Thee we are working with Thee, that our hands may not tremble in Thy service. Amen*. Mrs. T. E. Davis left Tuesday for Darien, Conn, where she will spend a month with her daughter, Mrs. Gates Beckwith and family. Mrs. Estelle Summer of Aiken spent the weekend and Monday with her sister, Miss Marie Moore on College St. BIRTHDAY GREETINGS Aug. 12: Mrs. Sallie T. West, J. J.
