After Discussing Proposed Bond Is sue, Chamber of Commerce Ad journs to Meet Tonight. t Following and in sympathy with the mass meeting recently held in the court house, under the auspices of the County Good Roads League, a meeting of the chamber of commerce L and those interested in good roads was held in the chamber of commerce rooms on Monday evening to discuss the details of and to make suggestions in regard to the movement inaugurat ed to have submitted to the people of Newberry county this summer the question of issuing bonds to the amount of $300,000 for permanent road work. Dr. Geo. B. Cromer was made chairman of the meeting, and Mr. Frank R. Hunter secretary. There was a fairly good attendance, but not as large as there should have been. and it is hoped to have a lar. er attendance at the meeting at 8 o'clock tonight, to which time the meeting on Monday night adjourned. President W. K. Sligh, of the County Good Roads League, was call ed upon and gave the details of the mass meeting held in the eolet house some day ago at which a refe..endum to the people of the question of the proposed bond issue was recommend ed. At that meeting a committee of five was appointed to bring the mat ter to the attention of Newberry coun.ty's delegation in the general as sembly, and, in conection with the delegation. to draft a bill to be pass ed by the legislature submitting the question of the bond issue to the peo ple to be voted on this summer. That evnmitta is composed of President W. K. Sligh, of the Good Roads Lea gue; County Supervisor L. I. Feagle, Col. E. H. Aull, Mr. Jno. M. Kinard, and Dr. G. Y. Hunter. At the meeting on Monday night, on motion of Mr. E. M. Evans, see onded by Mr. E. H. Aull, Dr. Geo. B. Cromer was added to the committee from :the chamber of commerce. President Sligh gave in detail the features of the mass meeting held some days ago and outlined the plan for the bond issue--the amount of the bonds being $300,000, all the bonds to be retired in fifty years, which Mr. Sligh estimated could be done with a two-mill prop erty tax. whieh would pay the inter est and create a sinking fund for the retirement of the bonds in that period. The plan as outlined by Mr. Sligh was practically the same as that which he gave at the mass meet ing in the eourt 'house, which was published in full in The H.erald and News in the report of that meeting. A number of details had been work ed out and suggested by the commit tee. however, and these details were submitted by Mr. Sligh. The work -should be done economically, he said, but it should he under expert super vision. and the roads should be sur veyed and blue prints made and the work let by contract. The greatest* <iifficulty in voting the bonds. he~ believed, would be the question as to who would handle the money. He be lieved that three, five or seven men could be induced to take the manage ment of the work, from a sense of duty. and .he believed these men -should be named in the bill, so that .the people when they came to vot-e . ould know who was going to spend ,the money. He also thought that it .would be a good plan to provide that a certain amount, not less than three fourths, of the amount which would come from each township, should be expended in that township. with the exception of No. 1. The reason for making an exception of No. 1, h.e said, was because three-fourths of what would come from No. 1 would be more than ..enough to macadamize every pig path in the township. As -natter of fact, all other townships would secure more of the money to be expended in the respective town ships than came from thes.e town ships. but he though this should go in as a guarantee. If there should be objection to the election on aceount of the expense, said Mr. Sligh, the Good Roads~ Lei guae stood pledged to bear the expense of the entire election. He suggested ~hat the bonds be floated at four and -me-half per cent., and submitted the figures showing they could be retir ed in fifty years with a two-mill tax. He made an excellent argument for - oed roads, showing the value of per -manent roads, and t-he great savmng i which they would bring about, tak 1 ing the same lines as in his address at the mass meeting in the court house. He said that all were in favor >f good roads, and so long as there Swas only talk for good roads there would be neither antagonism. which twas nIez-s.ary to the success of any tmovement, nor any enthusiasm. What t | was needed was some definite plan. IThere was a general discussion en . ie'Ced in by a number of those pro i ent. It was finally decided to ad.journ ntil 8 'clock on Friday night (to night), at which time the committee will have prepared a proposed bill to be referred to the members of the general assembly from this county submitting the question of the bond issue to the people of the county this summer. It is cVsired that there shall be a full meeting tonight. -md every member of the chamber of commerce who can do so, and every one interested in good roads. is urg ed to attend. PAID MEM NEEDED. Small Blaze Yesterday Morning Shows Necessity for riremen Continually on Duty. A small blaze which started in and destroyed a small outhouse in the rear of Mr. W. H. Hunter's residence at the corner of MeKibben and Boundary streets at an early hour yesterday morning shows very clear ly the necessity for keeping paid fire men continuously on duty at the headquarters of the fire department. Had it not been for the work of Mr. W. H. Hunter, who is an old fire man, assisted by Mr. James L. Aull, Mr. Otto Klettner, and Mr. Jao. K. Aull, who 'were first on the scene, and others who soon arrived, it is altogether likely that all the residen ces on the block would have been de stroyed. The blaze started from a pan of ashes which had been inadvertently set in the outhouse by Mrs. Hunter's little niece. Mrs. Hunter discovered the fire at about 3 o'clock and gave the alarm. Mr. Hunter immediately went to work, and with the assistance >f those who came to his aid the fire was kept under control and finally extinguished, and no serious damage was done. The horse hose wagon stood out in front of the headquarters of the fi;re department for what seemed a veey long time, under the circumstances, waiting for members of the fire de partment to arrive to mann the ap paratus. As matter of fact. while the residences nearby were in serious danger, and the fire was only about three or four hundred yards from the fire department's headquarters. the hose wagon did not arrive until the flames had been practically extin guished. The fire department put a stream on the smouldering embers to make sure there would be no further trouble. Newberry has as good and as ready and as courageous volunteer depart - ment as can be found anywhere, and its members are at all times ready, if necessary, to risk their lives to save lives and property in danger from fire. But the members have to go from their homes after the alarm to the headquarters of the department, and in that time sueh a fire as that of yesterday mo'rning has sufficient time to gain enough headway to make a repetition of the disastrous confla gration of two years ago not impro bable. What Newberry needs is a suffi ient number of paid men at the head quarters of the department at all times to go out with the wagon at the first alarm and to make the nec essary connections to put streams on a blaze. The other members of the department could then get to the scene as soon as possible and render aid. T'he small blaze of yesterday morn ing has its lessons which it would be well to heed. Daughters of Confederacy. The Drayton Rutherford chapter. U. D. C., will meet with Mrs. James MIntosh on Tuesday afternoon. Jan. uary 5, at four o 'clock.

THE CHAPPELLS FIRE. Mr. W. R. Reid Will Rebuild Im mediately-Glenn-Smith Co. Al so Will Probably Rebuild. Mr. W. R. Reid, of Chappells. was in Newberry yesterday. Mr. Reid was one of the sufferers in the? fire at Chappells on last Monday morning Mr. Reid has already opened tem porary quarters on the opposite side of the street from his burned build ing, and is conducting his general merchandise establishment in these temporary quarters. Mr. Reid says that he is going to rebuild in the very near future, and <he expects to have larger and better quarters than be fore the fire. He says that the Glenn-Smith company will also re build very soon. The people at Chappells have been severely dealth with by wind and fire during the past several years, but after each disaster the town is re built better and larger than before, and the same will be true in this in stance. Mr. Reid stated that the losses as given by The Herald and News were approximately correct. NOT NEWBERRY CONCERN. Peter Rodgers, Who Left Laurens, Not Connected With Newberry Tailoring Establishment. The Laurens Advertiser and news dispatches in the daily papers from Laurens have eontainedi an aceuint of the departure from Laurens of Peter Rodgers, "claiming to be connected with a Newberry merchant-tailoring establishment." it being stated that Rodgers left owing a number of bills. and also carrying an outfit furnished by a Laurens party on condition that he teach a young man in Laurens the tailoring trade. Peter Rodgers came -to Newberry about the first of October, stating that he was from Florence. and he worked for Mr. E. T. Carlson, in his tailoring establishment until shortly before Christmas. at which time he left Mr. Carlson. Mr. Carlson. how ever, had nothing whatever to do with Rodgers' establishment in Laurens, or with Rodgers after he left Newber ry, and Mr. CarIson desires this fact made known. The following is the account of the matter contained in the Laurens Ad vertiser: Peter Rodgers, claiming to be con neted with a Newberry merchant tailoring establishment and represent in himself as an experienced tailor, came to Laurens about the first of January and opened a tailoring shop, employed help and, incidentally made a number of small bills. Meantime roune Murrell Harris, son of Mrs. Juno Harris. desiring to learn the trade, engaged in t,he business with Rodgers, the understanding being. so it appea-rs. that Mr. Harris immed itely furnish $75 which was to be used in buying material for the shop. This amount was therefore supplied by the mother of Mr. Harris and the business wah apparently going along all right. Some ten days ago Rodgers, with out stating any reason or giving his destination, left Lauren.,, carrying with .him most, if not all of his outfit and leaving behind numerous unset tled bills and nothing in the way of the ordered materials for which he laimed Mrs. Harris' money was used in buying. Nothing definite has been heard of him, though it is reported here that lie had been arrested in Co lumbia, charged with larceny. Yes t-erday Mr. Harris closed up t.he shop. Of course it is possible that Rodgers will return and explain his conduct and satisfy those who trusted him. On the Gang in Columbia. The Columbia State of yesterday mornng says: "The Peter Rodgers referred to 'hoe is now serving a sentenee of 14 days on the city chaingang. His ex perienee with the Columbia and Brookland police has been extensive. lie was first arrested on January 18, by the 'ity offi sers. charged with he ing helplessly drunk. but was turned over to the Brookland aut:horities onI a warrant charging him with collect ing clothes to repair and neither re paliring nor returning the clot.hes. On this charge he was fined $20, which he paid. He had $33.55 when arrest ed on the charge of drunkenness. He was again arrested by the city po lie on Januaryv 22 on a charge of drunk and disorderly conduct and one of refusing to pay hack fare. On this occasion he had no money at all. He was sentenced to pay a fine of $3 on one charge and $2 on the other. Fail ing to pay either he was sentenced to serve 14 days on the two charges. which lie is now serving. ' The above is pulished. inl conlee 1tin wit.h :the introduct ory sta tenment, in justice to Mr. E. T.

In every department of life people are seeking as much as possible for as little as possible.

In Memoriam George Leonhirth. I need thee-Come. Whereas: God, in 'his divine wis dom, has seen proper to remove from our midst our beloved friend, George Leonhirth, who was born in Witten berg, Germany, on the 14th day of March, 1825, and who for forty- sev en years resided at Helena, S. C.; one who was known -to all as the God-fear ing grand old patriarch; a loving father and husband; a true and loyal friend: a devout and unassuming Christian gentleman; a friend to ev ery onA, the poor, the weak and needy: a staunch supporter of all that was good, true, pure and noble; et, devoted to his church and God 's eause to the last hour of his life; one of whom, it can be truly said, "He was one among thousands.'' Therefore, be it resolved, That while we bow in humble submission to the wil of Him from whom all earthly blessings flow, we desire to honor and bear witness to the great ness of .this grand old patriarch, and to the exemiplary conduct of o'uar departed friend. There are but few, if any. who live as faultless a life as lhe lived, or care more for the comn fort of his fellow-men. If lie ever had an enemy we don 't know it. It was our privlege to' spend an evening and night at his home. As the hour of retirement a.rrived all nembers of the household assembled for t-he usual evening worship. Declin ing the proffered honor to lead, this gand ,old patriare:h nioceeded to in yoke the blessing of heaven. Every word 'he said strengthened our be lief in his devotion to our Heavenly Father and left an impression on us which time can never eradicate from our memory. Truly, such men are reat-sent here among us to make the world berter, and when they are gone are a great loss to the entire community in whichi they lived. Friend, thou wilt be missedl. not onlv by those that are near and dear to ou, but by all that ever kniew thee. Thoui art gone, tis true. but thy good leeds live. Thy wvork was not in rin Thyv .children, friends, and all. are living witnesses to thy greatness, aind who, according to thy teaching look up to tihe master of life for con olation. in this, their great hour of sorrow and affliction. Sweet be thy sleep, thou grand old! man; Thy work, Gods will, thou hast al ways done. Rest oni-thy cross, thy pains are ov ercome. Life 's crown of victory thou hast nobly won. A Friend. The Opera.
