NUMBER 58. * NEWBERRY, S. C., FRIDAY, JULY 22, 1921. TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR < * < : , - ADDITIONAL STREET PAVING FOR NEWBERRY i 1 The town council at a special meeting held on Monday night voted in fav;or of the paving of the following parts of sheets: Main street, from Vincent street across railroads to Drayton street. Boyce street, from the present brick pavement to Nance Street. Nance street, from Harrington street to Friend street. McKibben street, from Main street to Friend street. The council }ras made arrangements to get the necessary money to do this work. The work is to be done, however, on the abutting property plan, that is the abutting property owners are to pay one-half and the town is to pay one-half. Twothirds of the abutting property own- L; ers have to sign a consent to the pav-1 ing before it will be done. We have, already secured necessary signatures as to the paving of the Main street extension and as to the lifetle piece on ; Boyce street. So far the .signatures have not been secured as to Nance and McKibben street. The council, feels certain that a big majority of the people of the town ! will favor the paving on the streets ! named. These . streets are not only important business streets, but the present condition of the streets 1 makes some of them, particularly the XT nnnn e+voor V\1 /->/"? V a n rl fhp MrKih'hen JLVIUVC Oli VVK viyvn M.av* v.. ~ street block between Friend street and Main street, unhealthy. The < paving on Nance street will prove a great benefit to the fire department as well as to the town generally. The chief of the fire department estifhates that at least fourfifths of the re- i sponds to fire alarms necessitate the fire engine turning out into/the south side of Nance street. The people who want health atod who want fire protection should certainly favor the paving bf this street, especially so When these fire boys serve their town s free of charge. If we had^ to pay these boys a reasonable amount for their services; we Would soon expend ' more than the *ost of the paving of that part- oT Nance street. Council wants to do 'the best it > v. . can. If those who own property on the streets named want to stand in the way of health and fire protection and other progressive movements, it is up to them. We do not wish to /press anybody, but the petition must onm* to us nrettv soon. v Respectfully, Eugene S. Blesae, ^ Mayor. Baseball. On the 20th at Pomaria the Jolly . Street baseball club played two: games at the Woodmen picnic. The > first game was between Jolly Street and St. Phillips and was won by Jolly Street 13 td 5. The game was featured 'by the hitting of the entire Jolly Street club, especially CromerThe Jolly Street putfield fielded brilliantly. In the second contest Jolly Street defeated Mollohon 14 to 4 in five innings. The features of the game was the pitching of Alewine Danielson for Jolly Street, striking out six men, including the heavy batters, Dean and Paysnger, of Mollohon. The hitting of Johnnie Stuck was another feature. The Union Service The union service for Sunday, July 24th, will be held in the Lutheran church at 5 o'clocK in tne aiternoon.

Matthews suggested that a chairman be nominated to tako charge of the meeting. Mr. I. H. Hunt nominated Mr. Z. F. Wright who was elected chairman. Hal Kohn was elected acting secretary, j Mr. Wright opened the discussion | with some sound and very sensible rei marks on the propo?ed Country club. 1 ^ UAI.M A U if *?AW?0 vlr UT'J C JL lit* M'V llUlt' U1 HIS I Cliiai i\o vt C40 uiui this club must be run in a business like manner and be clean in every re| spect. He stressed the fact that the moral tone of the club must be high or else the project would be a failure. He told of the mistakes which many clubs had made and strongly advised against organizing a club here unless it would be conducted in such a manr>or thof ftiir wivps nrtrl lndv folk ! would be welcome at all times. Senator Johnstone was an interested listener and being called upon for some remarks and suggestions he responded and told the meeting that although he did not know much about a country club still from what he had been told it was a fine idea and one which would be "conducive to a" better feeling in the community as well as place of recreation.% Mr. Gus Summer stated that this should be a county-wide proposition and suggested* that every town in the countv be canvassed" for members and * 'that they be assured that this club I would not be a local organization but [one for Newberry, county to enjoy. I His suggestion met with hearty apj proval and committees were appointed to visit all the towns in the county and secure memberships, as well as complete the canvass for members in i the city of Newberry. This committee was appointed by Mr. Wright, as follows: White Fant, Owen Holmes, Will Matthews, Dr. Setzler, Lad. Eskj rfdge, Jim Moon, E. A. Carpenter and i TT _ i ir _ i nai rvunn.

Mr. I. H. Hunt made a motion that ! the following plan be suggested for J the payment of the organization fee : of $100, (which motion was later I amended by Senator Johnstone and reads as follows) that $25 be paid at ! organization. 25 thirty days later, 25 ! sixty days later and the last 25 still 60 days later.

Aull From State Superintendent of Education for Year 1920-21 To the County Treasurer and the Countv Sunt, of Education. Gentlemen: The enclosed statement gives the amount of State aid paid to the schools of your county by the State Superintendent of Education during the scholastic year 1920-21. In every instance the original warrant went to the county treasurer in accordance with law. Duplicate copies have been furnished the county superintendent and the county auditor for the records of their offices. The usual folder giving these facts for the forty-six counties of the state is now in the hands of the printer. The strike in the printing trade has so handicapped and delayed the printing of this office that I am unable to say when this folder may be ready for distribution. I hope the enclosed typewritten statement will aid county officials in their annual settlement and will be of material service to the county superintendent in preparing and checking his annual statistical report. It is always advisable for each school district as well as each coun1 1 1 in roof -fa iy 10 Close Uie scnwiaont jr tc*j. of debt. The depression in business, the stringency in the money market and the postponement of taxes last spring made it difficult to carry out this policy this year. School trustees have no authority to contract debts. (Sec. 1777 of the code). All school loans should be negotiated by the county board of education (sec. 1806 of the code). A careful observation of this requiremerit of the law will avoid dangerous com plications in school bookkeeping. i Hiank vnn most cordially for the cooperation given the state superin* tendent during the last twelve months. Though the financing of tha schools has been the most difficult in my official experience, the school, organization has been held together successfully and efficiently. This could not have been accomplished without +he hearty and active cooperation of the county treasurers and the diligent attention Of the county superintendents of education. Yoilrs respectfully, J.
