Organist feature
of horse show
There are many distinct
sounds of the Horse Show—
the clip-clop of the horses
hooves, the commands of the
riders to the horses, the voice
of Frank Smith, the announcer,
over the microphone, the rum
ble of the applause from the
stands; but one sound that is
ever constant from the minute
the flag horse goes through the
gates until the last class has
been tied is the sound of the
Hammond Organ from the
middle of the ring. Behind this
sound is the man who, for 19
years, has been providing music
for horse shows all over the
country, Jimmy Richardson.
Jimmy will be a featured at
traction when the Newberry
County Horse Show is held on
July 8 at 3:30 p.m. at Newber
ry Fair Grounds.
Jimmy was born in Shelby-
ville, Tenn. 41 years ago and
has been playing the piano and
organ for 30 of those years.
About 19 years ago he purch
ased an organ, specifically for
his horse show activities and
is still playing this same organ.
It has been transported over
one-half million miles to horse
shows from Miami to Canada
and from the Eastern coast to
Kansas City. Jimmy plays for
gaited and walking horse shows
alike. The spectators pat their
feet to his rhythm, the horses
as they are walked or canter
ing seem to be keeping time
with the music but Jimmy has
learned to change the tempo of
any melody he plays to keep
a steady beat with the horses
feet.
Jimmy grew up going to
square dances and says that
it is a rare coincidence that the
Walking Horse gait and the
square dance step are identical.
Jimmy and his brother own
a private recording lable that
has eight LP albums that are
custom pressed using RCA’s
finest materials. A number of
his records are now in circula
tion.
A large crowd is expected
to see Jimmy—and the 29 class
es—at the Horse Show on July
8. Box seats may be obtained
by contacting Guy V‘. White-
ner Jr. at Whitener Lumber
Company.

JEWBERR& COUNTY BOARD
OF COMMISSIONERS
- ” Jne22-2tc
Griffith speaks
on voting bill
Sen. Eugene Griffith, offered
a soft reply Tuesday to harsh
remarks about him last week
from Rep. D. P. Folk.
Rising to a point of personal
privilege, Griffith said:
“Were I to attempt to ans
wer the charges and name call
ing which transpired Thursday
by making countercharges and
by indulging in name-calling,
I would violate every rule of
decency, good manners, Christ-
an training and, in fact the
mles of this Senate.”
An intra-county feud over
Folk’s bill to consolidate fifty
county voting precincts into 33
touched off the exchange be
tween the senator -and the rep
resentative.
Folk told the House, after
reading Griffith’s remarks
about the precinct bill, that the
county would be better off
without the Republican Sena
tor.
He also accused Griffith of
using partisam politics to play
petty politics and tdded, “I feel
like crawling under a rock
when I read some of the things
he says.”
Griffith was in the House to
hear part of Folk’s blast but
Folk did not hear the Senator,
although Griffith gave notice
last Thursday that he would
reply to Folk’s remarks Tues
day.
“I promised the people that
I would always work for what
I believed to be the best in
terests of our state and our
county,” Griffith said. “I could
not keep this pledge were I to
indulge in discrediting my col
league. It is my duty to work
for the common good and not
for evil.
Griffith indicated the pre
cinct consolidation bill will not
get favorable Senate action
this year as far as he is con
cerned. “I’m going to have to
study it for a long time,” he
said.
Griffith said he was uncer
tain what would happen to a
Folk measure providing for el
ection of two county commiss
ioners on an at-large basis in
stead of by districts. It was
passed by the House and sent
to the Senate.
Another House-passed bill
providing for at-large elections
of Newberry City Council mem
bers also went to the Senate
Tuesday.
Mrs. Johnson
died at Chester
Mrs. Lizzie Livingston John
