WHAT IS A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE?
We have not heard any noise like
starling thai hospital about which we
wrote some days ajjo. Abbeville has
already raised something like $(3,000
i'or a hospital; (Ireeuwood is a.nitatinir
the subject, and we hope the
suyjjestion contained in tlie Herald
and News as to N'ewberry will not
be permitted to pass by without attention.
We have as line physicians
here as any of these towns, and while
this is a healthy community, yet it
would be a nood tiling (o have a tirstdass
hospital, because people do somelimes
.net sick, and there are, unfortunately,
times when it is necessary
to have surgical operations performed.?Herald
and News.
As we said, the Newberry paper
makes the rinht sound. The above
i.- fll and wisely fa id. We know
it to be a fact thai what lite Herald
and News says as |o the physicians
and hcalthfulncss of Newberry is true.
?The same can be truly said of Laurens.
As for tlm hospital, il would
be a nod idea, but you can't net that
or the Atlantic Coast Line parlor car
unless citizens support the newspaper
: 1!< 11 these lines. So far a- the
Laurens chamber id' commerce is
concerned, il is a new organization
and the committees haven I n?'l the
liann of I hums yet. Newberry has
had one of these bodies for some
time. Will the Herald and News
kindly tell us .ju-t what a chamber
of commerce is organized for?-?Laurensville
Herald.
The (|ueslioti asked by our contemporary
is a ver\ broad one and the
aiiMVcr ininht be very broad al-o. We
suppose it depends largely upon the
point of view.
A chandler of commerce ma\ be organized
lor the purpose ol littiun up
nice rooms, in which (lie members
may assemble for social and pleasant
intercourse; there may be also attached
a reading room in which the
leading periodicals ami newspapers
of the day may be found, and the
purpose ?d' some may be to have access
to these leadint* magazines and
periodicals; there also may be a nice
pool and billiard room conneded with
er of commerce, and the main
idea and purpose o| some of (he members
may lie that a chamber of commerce
is organized for the purpose
I h:ivintr a pool and billiard room, J
where this pleasant and innocent
amusement may be indulged in by the
members; then it may be that a chamber
of commerce is organized for the
purpose of permit t inn its auditorium
to be used a- ;i meeting place for the
civic association, the bachelor maids
and others who desire in have their
meet inn place in a pleasant and delinhl
I ully titled up room: then a
chamber of commerce iwuall\ has a
president and ;i board governors,
who elect ,i sccrcfaiA and who appoint
.1 number ,>f commit lee- mi various
-ub jocts, w ]i 1 ;ire -111 >|>i'-c,l to do
certain thiuns. which i| presumed '
will be tor the nood < > I the iJ it ire
community. Some of these lliinns
min'hl be to look alter (lie railroads
and see that the cilv i- not ib-critn
inated a:ii: 1 -1 and to lake ? ;< this!
very mailer of a ho-pita! and net |
the people lonelhcr and united in
their ellorls to build one, and then,
there ininht be anotlier committee on
railroads, whose duly il is presumed
to be In look after such subjects as
securinn a parlor car on the Atlantic
Coast Line, and -how inn the railroad
authorities thai ihe senlimenl of the'
(ommuuily is heartily in favor of such !
improve,I service; then there ininht j
be another committee, whose dnl\ it'
's presumed would lie |(l after the
people, who have cha". the pnbI
'* roads and to keep alter them until
there were som no . 1 roads built '
leadiii"; Into :'k> e:ty i), which the
clumber o? comne r. r i, presumed tol
be ..peralii.n: then, there ininht be
anot her commit lee. w hich would keep
he] ind the city alh. rilies and show
' hen? that Ihe sentiment of t!ie eommunity,
in which the chamber of commerce
is located, is heartily in favor
of pavinn some of the streets in the
ct'y s,, as |o keep apace with the pro-i
n-e^s of the times; then, there ininht
be another uereral committee, or
rather speoial committee, whose duly
it is presumed would he to see if it
were possible to widen the streets in
the city in which Ihe chamber of commerce
is located, in the event, of
course, the streets were not already
suffleently wide; then, of course, il
is oart of the duty of a chamber of
commerce lo have occasionally a ban<|lief,
at which all of Ihe members and
their invited nuests may assemble,
and this last duty usually brings out

AS TO A HOSPITAL.
I'.'iiircns lias tlircc or lour patients
J now at I lie hospital in ('<>luinl>ia, and
elsewhere. We don't know how many
N'owberry has, hut The Herald and
News is jiyihilinir a hospital for thai
oily: which is a yood idea, and wo
hope | he Herald and News will succeed
in its undertaking. If such an
institution he established iu Newberry
Laurens won't have so I'ar to send
pal ion Is ncedim- hospital troalmonl.
?l/aurons llerald.
And Nowhorry li.is some three or
four m I ho hospital all the lime either
in ('olnnihia or sonic where else.
Somehow no one seems to have
caught the inspiration from our remarks
ami no movement has hocn
made lookimr to the hospital in Newberry.
We siiiivesle.l that the ladies
be?in to a-jitale the subject and mayhe
I hey can arouse the men. Chester
has a hospital. The movement at Abbeville
and Croon wood has boon sueoossful
and the money has been raisI
lie hospital for those lowns
has been assured.
VN's'' XV(l possessed some nia-ie
power ol' arou-inv from slumber those
who ouirhl to he up and doititr and
who ouiilil |o -el onl of their selfish
-hells. We Would then d-> soinet hill"/
:l - I '"any somethings fur this
eomniunity. They to he done
and ii they were done everyone would
wonder why tl.ey wore ii.,| sooner
done.
As to the hospital some ..I" our

THE LABOR QUESTION.
Wo puh|ish ill this issue the proeeedinti's
ot (he state conventi?m of
I he Farmers' I nion. which was held
in Creeuwood last week. Ainon- |f,o
j resolutions adopted is one which
touches upon a very live question bet,,n'
,l"' I I'le of this state at the
present time.
I?olore and since the decision of
Indue I!raw ley on our labor eon,r;lrl
':nvs lb unlit ion has boon
very unsatisfactory. Th. ro has bee,,
,,lo:v 'e>s trouble all the time, and
'be resolutions adopted by I lie I'ar1

lore is u,mil their farms, there will he

the legislation which we may put upon
the statute hooks s|j|| leave (he
situation very unsatisfacloiy.
The following is , he rcs.dini..n to

We obligate and bin,| ourselves

"Second, that we re?ar?l it as disl".v:d

Hiy and all men who deliberately and
knowingly ad contrary to this action
as not ??ood ci t i/.ens.''
''be -real trouble with t|K. |;,|,or
silualion. as it seems t,, as. has boon
! with those who employ labor as well
;,s W|111 ' >'e laborers t hoinsolves. The
j habit, which some farmers have, of
iiuakin- contracts away in advance
labor, and indiieiu- tin- laborers
J1'"'" li,(' P^'llJilions of their iioi-h<?">>.
has contributed very lar-olv to
['be uii:atisfaciory Iconditions,
j j""1 "'"i! I bis practice issiopped. I hern
;'s -oi:i- to !,e diiliculty in handling
ll'e lrtb.tr situation. We desire to
eomiiiond I he resolutions adopted by
| ' I'e Fanners' I'nion to all other far.
'"ei's who employ labor, and if those
resolutions are lived up to, Wt, wj||
not have a labor con.lit ion in this
si a I c to any -real extent.
We wore in Spnrtanbur- the other
<biy for an hour, ami through the
eourtesy of our frioml. Mr. ('. ||.
Henry, of the Journal, we had an opportunity
to see something id' the work
which has boon done by this live and
progressive city in the way of street
improvements.
The public square and the main
thoroughfares are lai.l in vitrified
aml 'I makes a very pretty and
Jj v<'r.V desirable street. The' residence
streets are paved with a differe"i
composition, which costs about
<['e same a little less than the vit1
,)nck' It has a foundation of
macadam, but (lie surface is very soft
nii?l smooth, ami it. is said to he very
durable. I in- < ii \ Of Spartanburg e
i lia- now about six miles of this jiavi
in - in addition (41 having the public* s
<(|iiaic and tin* main thoroughfares p
laid in vitrified brick.
Of course it takes money to do tliis
work. Inn ii<i town, after it has ivachI
ed the si/e of Xcu'berrv, can urow
'much more until some work ha- been
done ''iward.s the building of permanent
streets.
\cwherry has grown very much in p
the last two years, hut we have gotten
to that point now where it i- in- ^
dispensable to further growth that we C
should do something else besides have
our street hands going around throwing
h'ick l>als, cutting grass and dig- V
-'i-'-i' .Miches and cleaning out ditches
it we ever crpect to keep in our class.
Of course we understand there are
other thin,lis which we need and which I
must come, hut it seems to us that
there is no more pressing need at
present than that we showi.i do something
towards permanent street work.
Spartanburg has grown very rapidly
in the last two years and evidence
of this go will is seen on every
side.
