more sense. AS the late Bill Nye
would have said, "D'rather slip up on
thunder peal"
; Reported from Washington the
daily papers Saturday declared that
forty thousand farmers placed the
blame for the high cost Of living on
labor unions, middlemen, high wages,
protitecrs and lure of city.
! The latest member of the speeding
club is Mr.. J. D. Epting, who paid
his SIS Monday. We will say for Mr..
Epting that he had no intention of
exceeding the speed limit. He was
demonstrating his make of cars.
This month will so down in history
as another February with five Sum
days. AS Newberry will go along in
the history lets make it good one for
! the city and county. Everybody pull
together, leap year folks and all. g
New members for South Carolina
! Automotive Trades association in
Columbia are going in, the following
being from Newberry county: Can
non Auto service, McHardy Mower,
Carolina Auto company; and Central
Garage of Prosperity.
People of Newberry are beginning
to sit up and take note of what an
active official Mayor Eugene S. Blease
is making. If Newberry is not pro-
gressive it will not be the f;lllt of
Mayor Blease. One of his best traits
is broadmindedness.
Enclosed please find $50 Liberty
bond, gift to Tamassee from the
Jasper chapter. We decided to send
this bond as our contribution to the
drive which is on this week" We
found this interesting item in the
D. A. R. department of Sundays
State.
| The Probate Judge of Pickens
county is named Newberry and a
United States senator, from Michigan,
bears the same name. The Pickens
Newberry gets to marry a good many
couples, while the Michigan New
berry gets in trouble under charge
of violating election laws. Then there
is Newberry, Fla, and other New
i berry places and streets.
We just want to ask the question:
Wouldn't it be a good thing if New
berry had a fine building for a show
house large enough on the ground
! floor to accommodate the crowds?
There will have to be a new lease for
the opera house the first Of May and
thereafter there will be twelve days
and nights when there will be no
picture shows in that building.
During parts of the showing of
''The Eyes Of the World the opera
house was filed as closely as it could
be packed. Some said it followed the
book, while still others said it did not
follow the book. Those of US who had
not read the book did not Of course
know. Some liked the play, others
did not like it. This spectator"
thought it was very good.
The Newberry County Union Re-
publican convention elected the fol-
lowing delegates to the state conven-
tion in Columbia, which will meet on
Thursday: H. B. Rikard, T. A. Will
liams and Wm!e Wallace. The dele
gates to the congressional convention
at Greenwood on the 25th instant are
as follows: J. w. Butler, B. L. Roozer,
S. S. Abrams, Jr., Jno. B. Morgan,
ard N. L. Lindsay.
While Probate Judge Ewart was off
Saturday for to look at his little
granchild, Clerk of Court Goggans
had a colored near-marriage on hand.
He asked the would-be bride how old
she was and she said seventeen. The
acting Judge Informed her and the
anxious groom-elect that there was
nothing doing. Judge Goggans didn't
use the slang, but it amounted to the
same thing.
When Newberry does have a new
theatre, we hope the manager will
have special part of the building re-
served for peanut eaters. The goats
ought to be divided from the sheep,
the peanut munchers being the goats,
and goats not being particular as to
how, where or when they eat. There
are two classes of people in New
