. HAULL, ?,01TOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as second class matter. Friday, December 29, 1905 ANOTHER OPPORTflITnY. The city now has another oppor tunity to widen its streets, or what is better to open another street and secure some more public square. The whole of he burnt district on the right of the street leading to the depot should belpng to the city and now is the time to acquire it. If this cannot be done the street leading from the Crotwell hotel should be extended through the lot. and under the\!railroad to Gauntt street thus giving a roadway to the fireight depot of the, Southern with out going over a grade crossing. It would add greatly to the appear ance of the city from the railroads and add much to the value of the property fronting the square. We hope the city council can make some arrangement before the build :ing operations are commenced. In the meantime the concil should not overlook the opportunity to widen Friend street before Mr. Scott be ginsthe wor,k of erecting his brick buildings. A few feet to th street would add.much to the convenience of the public. CAROUNA MAU-ACrURING C. We hope the Carolina Manufac turing company will decide to starl operations again soon. Such en terprises are worth a great deal t< the community. A pay roll o: $1,500. per month will be greatl: .missed. Besides a number of skill /ed workmen. will be out of employ ment and will have to seek home elsewhere. It should be rebuilt on the rail road somewhere off the publi ~square. Our business men shoul take additional stock if necessar and see that the plant is rebuilt. ] no dividends were paid the benef to the community would be a sufi cient dividend to warrant the i1 vestment. It may be that the stoci holders will rebuild without any at ' ditional stock. In and event s would be glad to know that t1 *plant was to be rebuilt at once. It is said the burning of t town of Pomaria, between Newb< 4ry and Columbia, entailed a loss $50,o0o- The town must ha built up considerably since the 1 tinme you passed there, don't y Sthink?-Andersonl Mail.
