NOTICE OR JURY DRAWING We, the undersigned Jury Commissioners of Newberry County, shall on Wednesday, October 9, 1968, at 9 o’clock A. M. in the office of the clerk of Court, openly and publicly, draw the names of Forty (40) men and women to serve as ju rors for the Court of Common Pleas (Civil) which will con vene in the Newberry County Courthouse on Monday, October 21, 1968 Mildred R. Harmon, Clerk of Court Jeanette K. Hamm, Auditor J. Ray Dawkins, Treasurer is a native of Tidewater, Va., having been born at Newport News in 1925. Educated at Duke Univcersity,, Styron has edit ed several Literary Journals and written three novels. The theme in The Confes sions of Nat Turner as the au thor states: “Perhaps the read er will try to draw a moral from the narrative but it has been my own intentions to try to recreate a man of his era and to produce a work that is less a historical novel in con ventional terms than a medita tion on history.” However, Styron is not sat isfied with the mere fact of the incident, the uprising of Nat Turner, which spread through the South like wild fire and led to stricter rules upon the slaves and ended the widespread de bate in Virginia for voluntary emancipation, as Thomas Jef ferson and James Madison had for decades pleaded. The only source material available to Sty ron, is a twenty page pamphlet written by Turners’ lawyer, Thomas R. Gray. Of interest to a lawyer is the fact of the fair ness of the trial of Nat Turner in 1831, when of course it was before the Supreme Court de cided any man charged with a. capital crime had the right to a lawyer. Styron’s style is quite simi lar to Faulkner’s with long in volved sentences interspersed with every means of punctua tion known to the language, yet masterfully interwoven to con vey thoughts with great power. Like Faulkner, Styron uses a simple simile with great effect. One can almost feel the events he describes. He is a master of the use of description to convey a mood. The novel received acclaim universally and from totally di vergent groups of the reading public and it became a number one on the best seller list only a few weeks after its publica tion. However, moments of levity are hard to find in the book. It is not recommended for pleas ure reading. Slavery is a throught-provoking study and Mr. Styron has treated it with perception and without vindi cation. What he has said, he has said well. Adgar Brown, Book Reviewer for the State, felt The Confessions of Nat Turner to be the best book of the year. After a brief discussion the club adjourned.
