PAGE ?—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Oct. 22, 1970 Npuibmg §mt 1101 Boyce Street, Newberry, South Carolina 29108 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY 0. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner Second-Class Postage Paid at Newberry, South Carolina SUBSCRIPTION RATES: $3.00 per year in advance; six months, $2.00. COMMENT on Men & Things B> J. K. BREED!\ “I report everything is quiet along the Potomac", that was the signal for the Union troops. We are not interested in the Potomac but 1 can report, everything is quiet in South and North Carolina almost up to Tennessee My report was brought to me by three lovely girls who re turned last night from a trip t h r o u g h South Carolina by (Ireenville and then on through North Carolina to the moun tains of that area. That covers a great deal of territory but the two Carolinas and the bit of Tennessee are a very appre ciable area-up into the moun tains with all the apples. Thinking of apples brings to mind my university days in Vir ginia in the apple country I bought (it) barrels of apples from a planter near Lexington. Ya. and shipped them to my brother in South Carolina. When I was at Washington & Lee University there was no dormitory; the boys looked for accommodations within 15 miles of Lexington, Va. in private homes. Not only were there apples, but every morning on the way to the University we walked by the drill ground of the Virginia Military Academy where we would see the boys drilling. The young ladies who brought me the news are keen obser vers and they saw everything down to a specked apple. I might say that I was told they brought home some apple cider, but my reputation for sobriety so well established, that they would not share it with me. 1 take occasion to say that from my lovely hometown into the mountains of North Caro lina one sees the panorama of rare beauty, though like an overdose. South Carolina abounds in scenery of great variety, from the flat coast line to the rich area of our Pee Dee and the hustle and bustle of the Pied mont The beauty and quietude of our State may soon be rudely disturbed, for we face all the turbulence of a state campaign from the governor down, not overlooking the ruggedness of a local campaign in every county. In general, the candidates are very fine gentlemen, and enjoy good reputations, but during the campaign, there will be enough mud thrown to cover the whole state, after which we resume quiet behavior and friendly re lations Letter to Editor The recent campaign for Go vernor is very interesting in that John West has come out swinging with the charge of ra cism for lack of an issue. He is attempting it seems, to resol idify the liberal bloc vote which he led in ’68 to the polls in an effort to elect Hubert Horatio Humphrey. Such can be ex pected of West since he endor sed Hubert Humphrey shortly after Lyndon Johnson announ ced his decision not to seek re- election. West seems to be adopting the tactics of his liberal Demo crat friends who were aided by him in 1968. West promoted the election of Humphrey w'hile Humphrey campaigned across the country villifying the South in general and South Carolina in particular because it was Sen. Strom Thurmond who had a great hand in Nixon success fully winning the nomination at the 1968 National GOP Con vention. Certainly West held the bloc vote in the bag for Liberal De mocrat Humphrey and is madly on his way to keep his bloc in the bag by charging racism before too many of the bloc question what they have to gain if anything by remaining in the bag for John W'est—Party do mination of a group of our states citizens is the issue and not racism. West is seeking to cloud the real issue with his charge of racism which he hopes wall be enough to maintain the bloc and conceal the blocs questioning their status realistically. Cer tainly for South Carolina to pro gress I hope the thinking indi vidual will question bloc voting so that S. C. can have a chance for real competition which will benefit all South Carolinians. Sincerely. Bryce W. Castle Whitmire. S. C. Indians begin win campaign In this election year there are numerous campaign slogans throughout the state, most of which express the policy that the candidates intend to follow if elected. Such is the case at Newberry College on a non political theme. The Indians have started their “Five-in-a- row" campaign this week in which they intend to knock off the final five teams on the 1970 football schedule. The first in the campaign se ries will be played in Mars Hill. N. C. this Saturday after noon against the Lions of Mars Hill College. Newberry has only played Mars Hill twice, winning in 1945 31-0 and again last sea son 14-6. However, Coach Ha rold Taylor s Lions are return ing 41 of their 1969 lettermen which produced the strongest defensive unit in District six of the NAIA Being 2-3 thus far in the sea son. the Lions have played only one team that the Indians have also played. Catawba squeaked by the Lions 14-13. They beat Newberry 41-21. Last Saturday Mars Hill romped Georgetown (Ky..) 30-7. Coach Fred Herren, after a loss to Wofford College last Sa turday. has great respect for the North Carolina team. He will be relying on a repeat perfor mance from his defensive unit which stopped Wofford cold twice inside the Newberry five. Freshman quarterback Tommy Williamson will be directing the Newberry offense. He was the games leading rusher Saturday with 123 yards. Tailback Donald Garrick who has compiled 662 yards in six games, and full back Jimmy Fulton with 373 will be leading the ground at tack A policy here, a policy there . . and no one agent has any real responsibility for your entire program. But it will save you time and it will save you money to place your business with one man and then hold him accountable. We would like to be your agent. “YOUR PRIVATE BANKERS” 1418 Main Street Phone 276-1422 Coincidentally, the leading pass receiver for both teams have the same name, Johnny Dawkins for Newberry and Johnny Dawkins for Mars Hill. It will be up to Dawkins and Howdy Hayes to snare William son’s passes. “I thought the team played real well Saturday,” comment ed Herren. “but we’re going to have to hang on to the football if we are going to beat the Lions.” NOTICE OF CITY GENERAL ELECTION Notice is hereby given that a Municipal General Election will be held Tuesday October 27, 1970 for the purpose of electing a Mayor and three councilmen for the City of Newberry, S.
