E. H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New berry, S. C., as 2nd class matter. Tuesday, October 6, 1908. Newberry was a long time in get ting the automobile fever but when it came we took a good case all at once. The one good we hope to see result is the development of a senti ment for good roads so strong that the pressure can no longer be with stood. CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH. Rev. J. W. Wolling, D. D., Pastor. Sunday was a day of special inter est to the congregation of Central church. The official board had re quested a special offering for the benevolence of the conference and a large response was given. The pastor explained in a striking way the "Open door," and what it means to the unconverted, to the believer and to the church of God. The holy com munion was administered and four names, Mrs. Kate H. Sale, Geo. G. Sale, Jr., Wilber Sale,and Miss Vista Wood, were added to the roll, thus completing the list of 75 names re ceived as members during the year. Some vases of beautiful flowers adorned the pulpit and the commun ion service was in perfect order. The services at night were largely attended and by a congregation com posed mostly of young people. The choir was large and well directed by Mrs. Burr Martin; the singing was spirited and there was a duet well rendered by Dr. and Mrs. Whit Con nor. The mid-week serivees will be the prayer meeting on Wednesday night it 8 o'cloik and the. Epworth League on Thursday night. INCORPORATORS MEET. Augusta and Edgefield Railroad Shall It Come Via Saluda to Newberry? This is a question the- people of Newberry must answer. It is certain 'this road will be built. It is proba ble that it will be built very soon. * A meeting .of the corporators wasj held at Edgefield last Wednesday toj consider proposals to make a surveyj and cost of building. A number of bids were submitted. Another meet ing will be held on Friday of this1 -week to let the contract. The following notice of the meet ing will appear in the Edgefield News on Wednesday and we are permitted to print it:. The- meeting of the incorporators of the Augusta & Edgefield Electric Railroad Company here last week was .well attended, and much was accom plished toward the survey of the road. The only business before the board was the report of the committee con sisting of Messrs. Wm.' P. Calhoun, chairman, W. A. Strom and S. B. Mays on selecting a surveyor to sur vcy and locate the line. Over thirty bids were made for the survey rang ing in price from fiftteen hun4ed to eleven thousand dollars. The work connected with this matter was heavy and tedious, requiring much corres pondence, covering a number of weeks. The incoroorators present were: Mr. E. H. Aull, of Newberry. and Messrs. S. T. Williams and W. A. Strom, of Pleasant Lane; B. E. Nich olson, John Sheppard, A. E. Padgett and Win. P. Calhoun of Edgefield. The rerport of the committete was made by Mr. Win. P. Calhoun. It re quired much time to class, read and di'oeuss the bids. Besides, Messrs. R. W. Requarth of Charleston, S. C.; W. R. Allen, of Philadelphia, Pa., and Lilley, of Columbia, S. C., civil en gineers made statements to the board. explaining the bids m::de by them. From so large a number of bids made in various forms, it was a diffi cnlt matter to decide which to accept, especially as the board desired to moake no mistake in selecting a sur veyor. After sifting down the bids considerably, on motion of Mr. John C. Sheonard. Messrs. Win. P. Cal houn, W. A. Strom and B. E. Nichol son were elected by the board to go over the remaining bids, make a se leetion and report to an adjourned meeting the result of their work.
