E.H. AULL. Erics. H'ntered at the Postoffice at New *erry, S. C., as second class matter. FRIDAY, DECEMBER z, 1905. Organization Needed. November 21, 1905 iThe Herald and News, Newberry, S. C., Dear Sirs:--Have you in your files any special issue of your paper, or any other .printed matter which describes the city of Newberry, and tributary country? We own an issue of bonds on your city, and have little informa tion on the town other than financial. Should you be unable to supply us with anything of the kind, we would thank you to turn our letter over to a local Board of trade or other organi zation, which might be abile to sup ply us with data. We would appreciate yoiur early compliance with .the above request, and trust chat you may have the de sired information. We publish the above simply to call the attention of our citizens to the dearth, if not total absence of the in formation desired by our correspond ent and our inability to comply with his request. In season and out of season, some times, and very often when unpopular, The Herald and News has advocated - the formation of some organization tihat would - look out for the city's in iterests- and to meet just such contin -gencies as the above letter makes. True, some years ago there was form ed a Board of Trade and there were high hopes for it permanency, but for some cause it has been allowed to linger until now only the dark shad ows of a -fas increasing decrepitude furnish the forebodings of- an early death. A live\, working, resourceful. Board of TrAde, or Chmber of Commerce, or-'whatever-meme -we -choose tom'-all iestablished in our. town, with enough public spirited men to bacle.it, would accomplish 'wonders. for our townn for its rapid advancement in a very few years. Newberry town and S county have many inducements to hold outc to prospective 'settlers and investors-there -is absolutely no need ord excuse, .or jreason, for our young *men, thie sturdy, virile manhood of our country, to ie.ibeguiled to the inhos pitable lands of Oklahoma, or any where in the west, for that matter. 7Newierry can't afford to let her 'young white men, oftentimes with their families, be led astray by the se ductive' blandishmnents of western \% land agents. Where can one -find a fai i-er and more -exhilarating clime than wraps the romantic and historic -old city and county of Newberry? Viewed from any point the prospect is pleasing. With resources and avenues .for prof itable investments almost limitless, historic and magnificent in. achieve ments in peace and war, in letters and statesmanship, a people the synonyni of culture .and hospitality, with a courtly pride of county that brooks no slander of her people, that resents as a personal offence the barest sus picion of wrong-doing: why should one wish to leave here and take up iiis abode among less frien-dly and less favorable surroundings? There are those of us who believe that the omnipotent Artist never painted fairer skies than those Which arch our beau tiful and romantic hills and prolific valleys. We have -a great people-a country incomparable in every prospect for material prosperity. Let us show co other and 'benighted regions our L matchless resources and ask them to come and join us. Let us not be sel fish. Again *we urge the rarge 'hearted, public-spirited citizens of our town to 'bestir themselves that in future, such requests as this from our Chicago friends may ible fully and satisfactorily answered, and to the great benefit of our city. Drayton Nance Chapter. The Drayton Nance Chapter Daughters of the Confederacy will meet with Mrs. R. D. Wright next Tuesday afternoon, December 5, at 4 o'clock. The people of Georgetown are mak MIg elaborate preparations for the en tertainment (f many thousands of vis itors at the centennial celebration which will take place on December i9th. The railroads have granted a low rate and many from all parts of the state will no doubt avail 'hem selves of the opportunity to see the "awakening" that .is so much talked about in the coast country of this state. Many pleasing and attractive features have been provided. The Third regiment will attend in a body and many diversions are promised. ,Inasmuch as this the event of George town's lifetime it is likely that the event will be made notable. , To Be Operated On. Mr. S. S. Birge. of Prosperity, was taken to Columbia on Wednesday night to be operated on for appendi citis. He was accompanied by Mr. A. H. Kohn. His many friends hope the operation may be successful.
