Bank exhibit
features many
types of coins
Newberry residents who haven’t
had a face-to-face meeting with a
“Fugio” cent, the first authorized
U. S. Coin, or a Jackson “Hard
Times” coin will have a chance to
see some here December 14 thru
December 24 at the South Carolina
National Bank, according to Wil
liam J. Raffield, Vice President.
The exhibit was obtained from the
Federal Reserve Bank of Rich
mond.
The first panel of the display in
cludes types of coins which circu
lated during the American Colo
nial period and early days of inde
pendence. There are 76 in all,
ranging from the 1722 Wood’s
Coinage farthing and halfpenny
thru the Civil War tokens of 1864.
Panel one also features Spanish
reals, which were legal tender in
the United States until 1857, as
well as two Virginia halfpennies
minted in 1773, Raffield said. The
first U. S. pattern coin, the “Nova
Constellatio,” is shown in this
panel, along with the “Fugio”,
first authorized U. S. Coin.
Additional coins in this panel
are the Continental period cents
which were minted by various
states, and types of tokens which
have circulated as money in dif
ferent periods of American his
tory.
The second panel features regu
lar issues of U. S. coins from the
large cent pieces of 1794 to the
dimes of 1952. One outstanding
coin in this panel is a bronze two-
eent piece dated 1865, which was
among the first coins to carry the
motto “In God We Trust.”
“Probably the most unusual
coin in panel three of the exhibit
is the Trade Dollar,” Raffield said.
Originally issued for circulation in
the Orient to compete with the
Mexican peso, the Trade Dollar
was demonetized by Congress in
1887. Many of them still circulate

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
For several reasons we’re al
ways a bit amazed each time
Christmas rolls around. First, we
usually ponder how quickly anoth
er year has slipped by. Then we’re
reminded that many things didn’t
get done we intended doing this
year. And finally, we’re reminded
that the good people of Newberry
County have permitted us to con
tinue another year in our efforts
of service to the Agriculture and
people of this fine area.
Then as the spirit of Christmas
begins to unfold in all its mean
ing and purpose, we are made
truly thankful. And at this time
f year, our sincerest wish is for
jach and every one of you, a Mer-
y Christmas!

DAIRY MEETINGS
All Dairy farmers will want to
in the Orient, however.
In panel four can be found va
rious type of American coins, gold
issues, as well as regular and com
memorative issues. The familiar
“Double Eagles” are included in
this panel.
“The fifth panel in the collec
tion shows U. S. silver commemo
rative issues, beginning with the
Columbian Exposition half dol
lar of 1892 and continuing thru
49 other commemorative half dol
lar issues, the last of which is
Washington Carver Memorial of
1954,” Raffield added.
The last panel illustrates the
step by step procedure in the mint
ing of a coin.
“The cons are being exhibited
by the South Carolina National
Bank to present to the people of
Newberry a compact representa
tive collection of U. S. coins of
historical significance,” Raffield
said.

the theme of all the meetings. In

who are tops in their field, will
conduct “the lesson” at each meet
ing.
It’s all free, but it’s important!
Every dairy farmer should attend.
Please let us know that you’ll be
there.
PROVIDE FEED AND WATER
FOR LIVESTOCK, POULTRY
While we can’t prove it, we sus
pect that this time of year the
chore of providing plenty feed and
water for farm animals sometimes
gets overlooked. Every animal is a
creature of habit. Most times, as
long as feed and water is kept
available, all goes well. But if the
hired man or someone else who’s
responsible for the job forgets or
simply doesn’t do it, production
suffers.
Laying flocks can be thrown out
of production by a lack of water
for 24 hours. Milk cows won’t
wade through knee-deep mud
many times daily to get to the
water trough—so milk production
falls off.
What we’re simply saying is
that this season of year most
folks are pretty well fed. We can’t
afford to overlook the proper care
of our livestork and poultry, from
which comes the profit to keep up
going.
VALUABLE INFORMATION
If you’re killing a turkey, here’s
some helpful information from
Charlie Risher, our turkey man.
The American Institute of Hypno
sis, according to an AP release,
says that turkeys will have a bet
ter taste if their superenal glands
aren’t releasing adrenalin at the
time of death or immediately be
fore slaughter. To keep them
from it they suggest that the birds
be hypnotized before killing time
and here’s how to do it. Hold the
bird to the ground talking softly
to it. Press its head gently to the
ground and draw a chalk mark or
extend a white string straight
away from its beak. The turkey,
they say, will remain motionless.
If you wish, you can then tuck
his head beneath his wing and he’ll
go to sleep. We’re sure that you’ll
find thousands of uses for this in
formation and we’re thrilled at
the opportunity to pass it along
to you. Incidentally, the report
didn’t suggest you’re pressing his
head down but yre.. would imagine
anything would be okay as long as
it’s nice.
