.45 VL XLII. NO. ($4 NEWBERRY. S. 0. i'U HDAY. AUGUST 7. 1906. TWIOE A WEEK. $1 50 AY EA A DAY AT WHITMIRE. Flourishing and Growing Commun ity.-A Successful Mill-Hand some Buildings. While attending the county cam paign meeting at Whitmire on Fri dy, an opportunity was given to take t a little look around this progressive co,mmunity. Mr. William Coleman, the president of the Glenn-Lowrie company, has shown his faith in the future of Whit mire by investing his money not only in the cotton mill, which lie'has built, ut also in other enterprises of the town. He is now completing one of the handsomest office and bank build ings that we have .seen in any tQwn in South Carolina. In fact, it would do credit to any of the cities of this state. It is a large two-story brick structure, witli the mill offices on one side and the bank on the other, and private offices up -stairs. He is also arranging a large hall on the second floor for pur poses of meetin-, as well as amuse mient.. The first floor is finished ill quartered oak. and the second in nat IraIl pine; and altoirether it is a very handsome building. Within the last year a model and ill) to date school building has been erected, which is also a credit to the community. The cotton mill has been in operation about three years, and Mr. Coleman has one of the best r:- I ganizations of any mill in this state. His help-is intelligent and loyal, and s the best of go(id will prevails between 'the officers and owners of the mill and the operatives. 'Mr. Thad Coleman, a young man and a relative -of Mr. Coleman, is su perintendent of the mill and takes great interest ill the comfort of his operatives. The mill has thirty-two thousand spindles -and nine- hundred looms and is capitalized at five hun dred thousand dollars. The mill vil lage is on an emienilice near the mill, and the cottages are all neat and com fortable. and the operatives seem happy' and contented. This is one of the best mills in the -state. It has been inl operation only three years but everything is well or -ganized and working harmoniously -and the mill is making money. Whitmire has grown very much in the-last two years, and with Mr. Cole man 's faith in its future, it would not t be surprising- to see a very large and t tourishing city in the not distant fu ture.' The Herald and News has made ar range rents with Mr. Coleman to go 'back to Whitmire in about three weeks, and we will then publish a omplete writeup of the town. The 'Bell Telephone company is now building a line from Whitmire to Clin ton which is nearly completed, and which will bring Newberry within talking distance of this community. What is needed in addition to this di t'eet, connection is a railroad from 'Whit mi re to Augest a, via Newberry anld Saluda, and( oni to Union. .We were toldl that an air line from Union to Newberry would go just across the corner of the G4lenn-Lowvrie mill build ing. John Font is still mayor' of thle town1 and postmaster', anid has grown up with tile community, so to speak. But us we are to give our readers a view of the city in the near future, wve will not undertake to say moi'e at this ~ time. -The camlpaignl meeting p)assed off 'ver'y pleasantly, and we spent a imost delightful day. * Besides thle reg'ular meeting in the day we had an opportunity to spea0k to the op)eratives and otheirs at hight, the meetinig having been arrianged late inl tile after'noon with the approval of Mr. Coleman who was also present. Theiro are some' nice stores up in the town and all seem to be doing a good business. Thie main line of the Seaboard passes thlrough Whitmire. t We always enjoy our visits to W hit inire and wvhile the roads wer'e muddy nual~ heavy and the creeks full we are glad of thle oppjortun1ity we had of .spenlding the day inl this prgrs i A -friend in Whiitmire has kindly * ont lus the followving account of the gun clgb contest between W\hitireC fd. Rtitherford: >aign day was the sliooting conte )etween Whitmire and Rutherfoi u.in clubs. Of course Whitmire ca ied off all the honors.

Ed. DeCamp of the Gaffiey Ledg ins returned to his home in go< shape and we are pleased to know th ie enjoyed the outing. The pity vas we could not stay longer and tal II some other points while that f luay. In the following coimel rom his paper as to the trip he fai p state that he also found ''eaviar' ery excellent sandwich. We ear ioeic without delay or accident. Tlh vas a fine train we came on from Bi on to New York and makes only thr ;ops, though the Soithern runs son rains just as good. Here is what D 'amup says: President Ault was in a rush to g o New York, so rather than wait , ose one hour it was decided that y ake the fast train-known as t] nillionaire's train-for which we h o pay two dollars extra. All I b his is a train I No more tickets a old than are seats for passengers, 10 one has to stand up. We we ,liding along at a sixty mile an hoi lii) w'len the porter camle in and i Iiiied, '' Sandwiches?'' ''Wh ,ind?'' asked Mr. Aull. ''Chick( m( Caviar,'' responded the port( 'What the devil is Caviar?'' we asl d. ''Caviar is a kind of fish eg loss." ' 'Well,' I'll take chickcn. nOw What that -is,'' we replie viile the president, putting on a -ierpont Morgan air, said: ''I ake Caviar.'' You should have se ie president's face when the Cavii rrived. It was a piece of butter( ight bread with a sprinkling of f peceks, more than anything else. I ook a bite, tasted it, waited a seem md then slowly but laborious: nulehed it. It'was one of those disl s that grow on a fellow and befoi t had been finished lie was eating vith considerable relish. Meterological Record ror July.

'd r- Mr. M. B. Caldwell Summons His . Brothers, Sisters, Relatives and i -d Friends to Delightful binner. i In this strenuous age our people . both in the towns and cities and in the country need to get toegtlher so cially more frequently than they do. s It helps to a better understanding of one anotht-er, and we come to realize a that there is somethinig else in the world that is desirable besides money. We know each other better and think t mIore kindly of one anotfier. It makes '9 better citizens of us and better men and women. A better understanding es of eaclh otlher often prevents misun derstandings. One of these occasions was the fam ily reunion at the home of Mr. Milton a B. Caldwell, two miles from Newber ry, on last Friday. Mr. Caldwell's parents have been dead for more than t twenty years, his fattier, Mr. James A. Caldwell, having died in September, 1805, an his mother, Mrs. Jane Cald er well, in March, 1883. He has two d ' brothers and three sisters still living. It Two of his brothers, JIIn W. Caldwell it and James Spencer Cadwell, gave c their lives to their couiltrv inl tle Civ il war. the former lavin been killed at tle haltle of Second Manassas, and is the latter ini the engagement around a Petersburu. 3otil went to the war as mnembers of Colonel 11mit 's con It paly. s Mr. (aldwell decided to have his e brothers and sisters and the members le of their families, as well as some of e- his friends, come to his home on last Friday in what lie termned a family re Sunion He ha'd prepared a most cx ( c eellent barbecue dinner and along *e with it, roast turkey and other'good l things that go to make a most inviting id repast. In fact every one there pro at nounced it a most delightful and re pleasant occasion, and one of the 3o best dinners that could be conceived. re The barbecue meats were cooked by Ir that veteran Levi Kibler. 1- But apart from the most excellent it dinner the social feature was most le lightful. Bankers and farmers, edi - tors, merchants and lawyers, they all were there and spent several hours ex- I n changing- views and swapping stories. Of his' own family tliere were pres- I c ent, Mri. and Mrs. J. A. Caldwell, Mr. - and Mrs. Robert. T. Caldwell, his two C 1 brothers, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank L. ( 3 Lominiek, Mrs. J. A. Mitchell, and Mrs. G. G. De Walt, his three sisters. d There were three other sisters who Q L were married and who have died; Mrs. I [e W. D. Halfacre, Mrs. L. R. Bouk Ld ni-ht, ald Mrs. D. A. Ruff. y In addition to the six ehildr'en of j I- Mr. James A. Caldwell who are living, 1 ie tere are thirty-two grandchildren it livinz and twenty-seven great grand children. Two chiliren of Mr. and Mrs. James A. Caldwell died in in fancy. The grandchildren of Mr. and n, Mrs. James A. Caldwell are: The children of Mr. and Mrs. James a. A.

Caldwell married Miss ~ r, Brown, a daughter of Col. J. C. S. " Browvn, and she died seveni months af ~ter thmeir' wedding. ' It will be seen that this is a large t- family, with many .co9mnections in this t -. county. Mr. M. B.

The idea of a reunion was a happy - e and most successfully carried out. " 4 good dinnerl an~d goed cheer prevail- ji ed.
