By-The'Way ... By DORIS A. SANDERS
WHAT HE THOUGHT
I think among others who
would turn over in their graves
to see what is going on in this
filiations: the late W. E. B. Du-
Bois (for whom the current com
munist youth organization is nam
ed) was affiliated with or sponsor
of 96 subversive organizations;
country today would be Abraham J Ruy Wilkins, who heads the NAA
Lincoln. He would surely resent
his name being used as it is used
today. Since Republicans and
Democrats alike are often chal
lenged to step in the footsteps of
Abraham Lincoln, it is well once
in a while to repeat just what this
man thought about certain situa
tions.
In a debate with Stephen Doug
las in 1858, Mr. Lincoln said:
“I will say then that I am not
nor ever have been in favor of
bringing about in any way the so
cial and political equality of the
white and black races—that I am
not, nor ever have been, in favor
of making voters or jurors of Ne
groes, nor of qualifying them to
hold office, nor to intermarry with
white people; and I will say in
addition to this that there is a
physical difference between the
white and black races which, I be
lieve, will forever forbid the two
races living together on terms of
CP is listed as belonging to seven
such organizations, among them
the International Judicial Associa
tion w'hich has been cited as “a
Communist front” which has ‘‘ac
tively defended Communists and
consistently followed the Commun
ist Party line.”
These are just two of many
XAACP officials listed with Com-
munist-f iont affiliations ranging
from 1 to 31 organizations.
PB I Director J. Edgar Hoover,
has repeatedly warned that “rabid
emissaries of Red fascism are en
gaged in an intensive campaign to
subvert the minds and win the
support of American youth.” Fore
most among the programs and ac
tivities which Mr. Hoover says are
currently being directed against
the Nation’s young people are:
A new communist-oriented youth
organization, the DuBois Clubs of
America, which was founded last
June at a special meeting in Cali-
social and political equality. And; fornia dominated and controlled nv
inasmuch as they cannot so live Mt h e communists; and
while they do remain together
there must be the position of sup
erior and inferior, and I am much
as any other man am in favor of
having the superior position as
signed to the white race.”
Lincoln favored colonization of
Negroes, and in 1862 had this to
say to a delegation of Negroes
who called upon him at the White
House to discuss the idea:
“And why should the people of
your race be colonized ? Why
should you leave this country?
This is perhaps the first question
for proper consideration. You and
we are different races. We have
between us broader differences
than exist between almost any
other two races. Whether it is
right or wrong I need not discuss;
but this physical difference is a
great disadvantage to us both as I
think. Your race suffer greatly,
many of them by living among us,
while ours suffer from your pres
ence. In a word we suffer on ac
count of each side. If this be ad
mitted, it afford a reason at least
why we should be separated . . .”
Are the Negro leaders so ignor
ant they don’t KNOW what their
idol thought? Or do they think
the white race is so gullible it
will swallow what they say, hook,
line and sinker?
Speaking of Negro leaders, I re
cently came across this bit of in
formation. Radio Station WRDW
in Augusta, Ga. gave a report by
Karl Prussion, a counterspy for
the F.B.I. for twenty-two years,
on Martin Luther King, in which
the press quotes Prussion as fol
lows:
“Martin Luther King is a mem
ber of more Communist front or
ganizations than any Communist
in the United States. Martin Lu
ther King belongs to sixty Com
munist front organizations.” Karl
Prussion wrote a book titled C.D.
C. and dared any of the parties
named to sue for libel. No one
sued.
From the files of the House un-
American Activities committee
comes more information about past
and present officials of the NAA-
CP and their communist-front af-
A continuation of the campus
speech program which has contrib
uted so successfully to the Party’s
efforts to reach the student bodies
of American Colleges and Univer
sities.
This last paragraph is of parti
cular interest at this time, when
discussion is being banded about
about the legislature about a
speaker-ban law' on state owned
college -ampuses. The Mighty
Moguls of the American Associa
tion of University Professors im
mediately screamed that this
would take away their so-called
academic freedom. They would do
well to ponder the questions posed
by Mr. Hoover, and the answers he
gives:
“Why are communist spokesmen
so anxious to appear on college
campuses, yet so tight-lipped be
fore grand juries, Committees of
Congress and in our courts of
law r ? Why do glib-tongued Party
members suddenly lose their voices
when placed under oath?
“The answ'er is: They are afraid
of the truth—just as they fear de
cency and justice and God! Let
me repeat what I have said before:
We are at w'ar with the commun
ists and the sooner every red-
blooded American realizes this the
safer we wdll be.
“The communists speak a differ
ent language from true Ameri
cans. They speak in glowing terms
of academic freedom, freedom of
speech, freedom of the press,
while advocating a system dedi
cated to destroying the rights and
privileges we Americans enjoy.
What the Party actually wants is
license, not freedom—license to de
fy, exploit and destroy.”
If you have children w T ho plan
to enter college, you would be wise
to investigate the sort of activi
ties going on on almost every
campus, even in this state. Just
recently I listened to a speaker at
the University of South Carolina.
These are not his exact words, but
almost—“If the rich make more
money, what wdll they do with it?
Buy another yacht, another car?
Through taxation, we’ll take the
money from them and give it to
County history
told by Pope
An interesting account of the
“Early Settlement and Develop
ment of Newberry County” was
presented by the Honorable Thos.
II. Pope at the March meeting of
the Newberry County Historical
Society.
Beginning with the settlement
of the low country, he stated that
by 1720 there were four organized
counties, four roads including the
Catawba Path and the Cherokee
Path, and a population of 18,000.
Tracing the move inland, he not
ed that in 1750 a trading post was
established at Ninety Six, and
nine years later, a fort was built
there. At the start of the Chero
kee war, the population of the up-
country was 7300. The war deterr
ed growth and expansion, but a
population explosion occurred af- [
terward. From 1761 to 1765 the |
population increased fifty per
cent which finally gave the up-
country strength to demand seven
court districts be established. In
1772 a court house was built at
Ninety Six. More roads were built
and civilization expanded until
the Revolutionary war brought
blood and hardship.
In 1783 Colonel Philemon Wat
ers and Senator Levi Casey were
appointed commisioners to divide
the Ninety Six district into coun
ties. The Newberry County court
house was located in 1789 in New
berry. Colonel Philemon Waters
and William Caldwell laid out the
town of Newberry. The first sher
iff was Thomas Gordon; the first
senator was John Hampton, and
the first clerk of court was Wil
liam Malone. The first seven
judges were Robert Rutherford,
Robert Gilliam, Colonel Philemon
Waters, John Lindsay, Levi Man
ning. George Ruff, and Levi Cas
ey. The county had a populat ion
of 9,000 at that time.
Pope had on display some inter
esting maps which were compiled
by Dan E. Collins, forester.
The speaker was introduced by
Keitt Purcell, program chairman,
Dr. James C. Kinard, president,
presided during the business ses
sion and offered prayer.
Mrs. C. M. Smith presented the
officers of the Junior Historical
Society as follows: Miss Connie
Farb, president; Miss Caroline
Smith, vice president; Miss Susan
The Newberry Exchange Club celebrated its birthday Tuesday
night, and the incoming state president was on hand to cut the
birthday cake. In the photo are, from left, Gordon Leslie, presi
dent; Ken Reynolds of Laurens, incoming state president; Mrs.

plain as socialism can be stated
and the really terrible part of it
was the man was talking to people
who will be guiding your children

amazing was to hear these people

Fourteen members of the Newberry Exchaige Club attended a statewide meeting of the organiza
tion in Columbia Sunday. A portion of those in attendance are shown above, front row from left,
H. C Smi‘\ Frank Armfield, Howard Cook, Troy Bowers and Woodrow Lathrop; back row, Claude
Summer, Scril Leopard, Gordon Leslie, George S . h. P. K. Fuller, Buck Connelly and Jack Goree.
Throughout her professional ca
reer, Mrs. Kelly has been interest
ed in every activity concerning
the teachers of South Carolina,
and has held many local and state
positions in her professional asso
ciations. This active interest, com
bined with her pleasing personal
ity, sense of fairness, and willing
ness for hard work, culminated in
her election to the presidency of
the state organization of teach
ers.
No person could be better suit
ed for this position than Mrs.
Kelly has been. Realizing there
are controversial problems to
every aspect of education, Mrs.
Kelly is a leader who has had def
inite aims but who, at the same
time, has always been willing to
listen, discuss and be sympathetic
with contrary views. Thfe smooth
ness with which events function
when she is in charge is a tribute
to her efficiency.
A native of Alabama, daughter
of the late Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Fuller, Mrs. Kelly attended New
berry College, and it was there she
met her husband-to-be. Philip T.
Kelly, who is now Director of
Alumni Affairs for the college and
who served many years as Dean
of Men. Mrs. Kelly received the
Bachelor of Arts degree from
Newberry, and after her marriage
to Mr. Kelly, both were connected
with the schools of Sumter Coun
ty. Mr. Kelly served as principal
of Hillcrest High School and Mrs.
Kelly had an experience not many
teachers have had—teaching in
what was known as the “Turk”
school of Sumter County. The
Turks are a clan who originally
settled on the estate of General
Thomas Sumter, after some of
them fought with the General in
the Revolutionary War. For years,
they would associate with neither
white nor Negro races and main
tained their own school system.
There still exists in the county a
Turk elementary school although
high school age “Turks” attend
Hillcrest or Sumter High.
When Mr. Kelly became con
nected with Newberry College,
Mrs. Kelly began teaching in this
county and for a number of years
has been mathematics teacher at
Newberry High School, As any
student who has studied under her
will verify, she is one of the out
standing mathematics teachers of
the state.
With all her other activities
Mrs. Kelly keeps up with her sub
ject field by attending seminars
on mathematics each year. She
has also attended a National
Science Foundation summer in
stitute in mathematics.
In addition to mathematics, Mrs.
Kelly is certified in the fields of
English, science and elementary
education. She now teaches Mod
ern Algebra II and Plane Geomet
ry, and is sponsor of Student Gov
ernment at the High School.
She is a member of the Luther
an Church of the Redeemer, a
member of the Business and Pro
fessional Women’s Club and of
Alpha Delta Kappa, teachers’ hon
orary sorority. She belongs to all
of her professional organizations.

to appear here
Thomas Schumacher, brilliant
young pianist, will appear in Holl
and Hall chapel at Newberry
College Friday at 8 p.m. The pub
lic is invited to attend the concert
and a reception in Smeltzer Hall
at the conclusion of the program.
This concert will be fifth pre
sentation of the 1964-65 Arts and
Lecture Series at Newberry col
lege.
A combination of musical and
intellectual brilliance has ranked
Schumacher high among the na
tion’s prominent young pianists.
His artistry has proved to be a
delight to concert audiences and to
judges at international competi
tions as well. He was a winner in
the 1962 Busoni Competition in
Bolzano, Italy, and arecipient of
several awards and prizes at the
Manhattan School of Music and
at Julliard.
Schumacher’s virtuoso talents
display themselves in his interpre
tation of a variety of works from
J. S. Bach and Mozart through
Chopin and Rachmaninoff .He has
performed in recitals throughout
the United States and has appear
ed as soloist with major symphony
orchestras, including a guest ap
pearance with the Atlanta Sym
phony in 1961.
After his initial piano training
with Fisher Thompson in Butte,
Mont., his native city, Schumacher
went to New York City to study]
with Robert Goldsand at Manhat- j
tan School of Music, where he I
received a bachelor of music de- ’
gree. He then entered Julliard
School of Music on an honorary
scholarship and received his mas
ter of music degree.
Although Schumacher did not
officially begin piano lessons un
til the age of seven he had actual
ly been playing the piano by ear
since he was three. His first con
cert was at the age of 15. .
ren are Margaret, age 21; Kath
erine, age 19 and Philip III, age
17.
