come great-one Of the greatest cities
in the South for that matter All Co
lumbia needs is for her people to get
together, and work together, and pull
together one for all and all for one.
We need not the millionaires, but tie
men who will, and the spirit that does
things.
1T is the people of the community
who make that community good or
bad, rich or poor, progressive or ret
rogressive, growing or stagnant or
slumping. Give US the working, NOV
ing, active, progressive community of
people who are willing to do any labor
to get anead and there is no force that
can stop its growth.
Get together for Columbia. Do
your part. Let every thought and &C
ton show your loyalty to Columbia.
The hour is striking for greater effort
for more Work-for a more con-
crete expression of your loyalty to Co.
lumbia. Remember to say to yourself,
each day:
THIS IS MY TOWN"
And say it in big letters and out
loud so that every one else may hear
as we'll as you.
Now what 1 want the people of New
berry to do is take tie above and put
Newberry wherever Columbia appears
and make it apply to your town and
see wha. will be the result. / will
not make further comment at this
time, but want every one who reads
this column to read what is quoted
above =ery carefully and apply it to
New5erry. Get together is what we
need here as much as any place l
have ever read about You know,
don't get away from Newberry very
often, but I read lot and it broadens
one, and I wish 1 could get the people
Of Newberry to read more.
| notice from the paper that the city
had MY friend "Bill' Smith up for run
ming with the "cut out" whatever that
is. l imagine it is something that
makes a 1oise, but I don't know just
exactly what it is, but if that is it, l
was just wondering what is the name
of those things that they have on these
motorcycles. And if The law did or
cid not apply to them, and if it didn't
why it didn't. Because if the noise is
the thing that it is desired to stop,
one Of tEem little two-wheeled things
makes more noise than forty automo-
biles. And if the speed limit and the
stop ordinance didn't include them.
TlLey look to me like they are more
dangerous to rider and walker than an
automobile. But then I'm ignorant on
these things and am only asking for
information. But a jury Of MS coun-
trymen said "Bill" Smith was not
guilty and I'm glad. l think t5ere
are so many other things that the po-
lice might get after that it is very
small to take up a driver simply for
making little noise. A little noise
sometimes is good. When the police
get them for speeding and they are
speeding, then I think the police are
doing a good thing, but this little noise
is sorter like passing an ordinance to
keep the whistles from blowing and
the bells from ringing and the boys
from whistling and the birds from
singing. Now, may be old timey,
but, you know, I always could ploW
better and hoe more when l felt like
whistling and wien the niggers were
singing. You can't make music with
out noise, and sometimes music is
noise and nothing but noise. Anyhow,
let's don't get too still. Let's make a
noise like we are doing something.
And get together. That's the thing. Get
rid of your little prejudices. They hurt
a town.
