Prospects are Now Good for an Enterprise of this Character for Newberry this Season. An ice factory for Newbcrry seis now assured. For some time past Mr. S. I. Jones has had in mind the establishment of an en terprise of this character in New iberrv. and he has been hard at work getting eveything in shape for the opening of the books of subscrip tion. He has received the hearty support and encouragement of some of the prominent business men of Newberry and the enterprise w.ili be started and run with home capital. The books of subscription wiii be opened within the next few days. Already M-r. Jones and the oth ers interested have been looking for a suitable location for the plant. and several places are in vi-ew. A wood and coal yard will be run in con nection with the ice plant. Mr. Jones said yesterday that it could be almost positively stated that the books of subscripion would be op ened, as stated, within the next sev eral days and that there was no doubt that the required amount of capital would be easily secured. Newberry has long needed an ice factory, and it is a matter of con gratulation that s uch an enterprise to be conducted with home capital is .assured. .If established, there is no doubt that it will succeed under the managernent of Mr.. Jones and he other good and substantial bis ness men interested. Diamond Ring Contest.
