AMUSE-U THEATRE. An Excellent Program on This Week -Deserves Good Patronage. Crawford and Taylor. The Amuse-U Theatre has advertis ed a very attractive bill during this week and the patronage has been gratifying to those in charge of it. Taylor and Crawford have so amus ed and pleased the audience that they have had to answer many encores a every performance. They are far su perior to any~ attraction of this kind .that has ever been in Newberry. The young men who are running this theatre should ha.ve the encour ageme nt of the people of the city as it affords entertainment and amuse ment at a nominal cost and evervoae who attends must feel better after a good, hearty laugh. Miss R. P. Pifer deserves special credit for her rieb solos and illustrat ed songs. The performnances are given every NOW FOB SEWERAGE. City Council Decides to Submit Ques tion to People-Should be Unanimous. A joint meeting was held on Mon day night between the city council and the commissioners of public "rts to consider the proposition of exte.-d ing the sewerage system of Newberry. It will be recalled that sometime last year the grand jury in their pres entment reported the septic tank as a nuisance and a menace to the health of the people who live in that com munity but no action was taken on account of the understanding that the city would at once do something to have the nuisance removed. In order to do this it will be neces sarv to issue additional bonds and while the septic tank is being remov ed the sewer system should be ex tended to those-sections of the city which are now without it. Sometime last year the commission ers of public works had a survey hnade and plans for the extension of the sewer system. The city council appropriated $600 for this purpose. It is said that this survey and these plans will not answer the purpose, and it is probable .that a new survey and ne4r plans and specifications will have to be made. At any rate it is absolutely neces sary for the health of this community that the sewerage system be extended and improved. With this condition before them the city council and the commissioners of public works decided to circulate pe titions asking for an election on the issuing of $40,000 in bonds for this purpose. These petitions will be cir culated among the freeholders of the community in the next few days and no one should hesitate a moment to give his endorsempnt. If the election is ordered there should be no opposition to it what ever. It is a case of necessity. DR. R. C. HOLLAND SPEAKS. Visith Newberry College on Wednes day Morning-Gives Some Good Advioe to Students. Dr. R. C. Holland, of Charlotte, N. C., was a pleasant visitor to the New berry college last Wednesday morn ing, a.nd at the close of the chapel ex erises gave a splendid talk to the students.

At same service Rev. W. H. Hiller, of Columbia, S. C., an alumnus of the college was present and offered the prayer. PRESIDENT HARMS IN DEMAND Will Make a Number of Commence ment Addresses-Will Spend Sunday at Plorence. President J. H. Harms, of Newber ry college, will spend next Sunday in Florence, S. C., and will preach Sun day morning and evening in the Luth erani eh'urch of that city. In the af ternoon he will address a large men's mass meeting at the Baptist church of that city.

MEASLES CASES DOING WELL. Eleven Cases Down -ollege Authori ties Providing tie Very Best Attention. The Newberry college hospital has eleven cases of measles in it, and the young~ men are doing well.

The parents of the young men and ofung women who are at Newberry ollegte an~d who are now down with the measles or are liable to take them may rest a ;sured the very best atten tin will be given any who are striek en. bhth by the physicians in chiarge CHAMBER OF CO MMRCE. New Officers Elected-Everybody Ex pected to Cooperate and Push Newberry.

There was, diowever, much enthus iasm among those who were present and an idea seemed to prevail to make the organization more active ani More uaseI1 1 poSwi tlual it La, been. As we have stated on sev'erai occa sions it is absoiutely ne,e.-. t groWn anid de-eipLulill. Li ii. codi muun1y LiaAL u e >u-'l(L ia e aLi Of.ai ization like the ch-arnoer of commerce, and as every citizen is interested in -e ' LI of the community and will proit by su-.h growt, eiter directU or indirectly, he should lend his assis tance and his .cooperation in making this organization just what it ought to be for this community. In the first place every business concern in the city and those who have no business should become mem bers and having joined should.then have a good word for the work under taken by -the organization, and should always hold up the hand's of those who are put in office. No one especially desires a position in an organization of this kind be cause it means some work and time from his private business, and when we can get business men to take hold of these organizations every citizen of the community should feel it in cumbesnt upon him to help the officers in everyAing that is undertaken for the good, of the community. Mr. Z. F. Wright, who has been the efficient and active president for the past two or three years, in fact since the organization of the chamber of commerce, declined most positive ly to be reelected. He stated that he would cooperate in every way that he could with those who were placed in positions but he thought that it would be best for the organization to have a new set of officer&. Dr. 0. B. Mayer, who succeeds Mr. Wright as -president, is one of the most progressive citizens of this com munity, and is always a.ctive in good works that are for the advancement of t'he best interest of the city, and we are sure that under his direction the organization will ae'om-plish much in bringing the various interests of this community together, and to work in harmony for the advancement of the city. The following are the officers elect ed on Tuesday evening: 0. B. Mayer, president; Z. F. Wright, 1st vice-pres ident; M. L. Spearman, second vice president; W. G. Mayes, treasurer. The board of governors consists of Messrs. E. H; Aull, J. M. Kibler, F. N. Martin, J. B. Mayes, C. T. -Sum mer, and W. H. Wallace, and the pres ident and two vice-presidents. Thre board of governors will elect a secre tary. The committee which has been look ing after the C., C. & 0. railroad made a report and it was stated that they were keeping in touch with the athorities and if there was anything thrat could be done by this community 'to secure that road that it would be done. The new officers will probably call a meeting in the next few days a-nd it is the purpose of the organization to hold monthly meetings so as to have some of the social features connected with the organization. "Ir. Arizona," With' Cow-Boy Ba.nd. The coming to Newberry on Satur day, April 3, -under canvas, of the fa mous western eoynedy drama, 'in Arizona," will be welcomed by local theatregoers, as in the coming attrae tion is promised a production not usu ally seen outside of the large cities, and for the first time seen under can vass. "In Arizona" will offer only one performance which will be given in their large pavilion theatre. The company has just installed new scen ery and stage effects which, together with their splendid orchestra, offers n environment comparing favora bly wi-r that af a garnd opera house for the correct presentation of this excel lent play. The Cow Boy Band with "In Arizona," will offer two concerts on the street, at noon and evenig;, day of performance. The popular ad mssion pri:ee of 35e., children 25c., is alone justified by the enormouls seating capacity of their big tent. Amity Ladge, No. 87, A. F. M. A regular communic-ation of Amity Lodge. No. 87, A. F. M., will be held next Monday eveiing at 8:30 o'clock in Fraternity Hall. Visiting brethren co rdially ivelcomed. R. H. Wright, WV. M. INCOME TAX. Only Five Persons Have Made Re turn-Time Extended to May 1. Auditor Eugene S. Werts. in com pliance with instruction, from tire comptroller g"eneral, is m i , av ef fort to secure returns from all or tie citizens of this community who are liable to the income tax. To that ead he has sent -blank returns to all per sons who in his judgment are liable to pay this tax. So far there are only five persons who have made returns. Under an order of the comptrolic general, which is approved by the gov ernor. the time for making these re. turns without the penalty has been extended to May 1. Last year there were nine persons who paid an income tax. The five five who have returned this year are included in the nine who paid last year. It is probable that these other fonr have simply overlooked making their returns. inasmuch as it is hard ly possible that their incomes have been so reduced that they are not lia ble this year.. Under the law all persons whose in come exceeds $2500.00 are liable to a tax on the amount in excess of the $2500. Under instructions from the comp troller general the auditors are re quired to make returns for those who neglect to do so and to add fifty per cent. to such returns after the first of May. Two Newberry Boys. Mr. G. H. Ligon, who has for some time been principal of the Pendleton graded school, has resigned that posi tion and accepted a place with Chi cora college of Greenville as traveling representative. Mr. Wm. B. Aull, of Pendleton, has been elected as Mr. Li gon's successor at the Pendleton schools. Mr. Aull is a most compet ent teacher and will fill the place with credit. Mr. Ligon's friends regret his decision to give up the work, but wish him much success in his new under taking. Tre change will take place within a short time.-Anderson Mail. CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH, Rev. J. W. Wolling, D. D., Pastor. During the week Rev. G. Pierce Watson, of Charleston, has been con ducting a series of services in Central chureh with fine effeet. The services are held at 4 in the afternoon and at 8 at night with large attendance. With a full choir much attention is given to the singing in which the con gregation takes an active par:. The afternoon services are well attendedl and a full house a.t night. These ser vices will be continued until Sunday night and it may be longer. Mr. Watson is of a fine spirit and a clear and forcible speaker and the entire community is invited to hear him. Let the friends from the coan try churches around come. A Newberry Boy. Mr. George W. Keitt, son of Prof. and Mrs. Thomas W. Keitt, of Clem son college, but citizens of Newberry, has been sel!ected to represent Clem son at the State oratorical contest in Greenwood. The correspondent to the News and Courier states of him: "He is- a son of Prof. and Mrs. T. W. Keitt, a member of the senior class, editor of the 1909 annual, and a leading man in literary socieies' work, and other col lee'e enterprises and activities. He reads well and speaks well and will without doubt do Clemson credit in the -State contest.'' Kenneth Baker Renominated. It will be pleasant news to Mr. Kenneth Baker's friends in Newber rv, where he made his home for a great number of years, to learn of his re-election to the office of mayor of jte city of Greenwood, thus endors ine his ad'ministration of the affairs of that muinicipality. Mr. Baker is a progressive citizen and is d<6ing much for the advance ment of Greenwood. Duri.ng his ad ministration in the past year it wvas decided to pave the .public square and Snumber of the more prominent streets of the city. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Fats vs. Leans April 14th. * Under the auspices of the Newber rv College Baseball association a game of base ball will be played on the col.lege di'smond Wednesday after noon, April 14th, between a team of othletic and eigantie fat men selected from th'e town of Newberrv and a om of thin but honnrv and amnbit ms lean men also from the town. n.n wll he surprised at the high or 'ir of baseball t;alent pos5'eP'd by the ,n 'n these teams, and the game 'i-l he fairlv :indc hotly contested.

The human being most in need of amusement. most generally benefitted by amusements that stimulate the imagination, is the child. In our civili zation there is far too little done in tire line of amusement for the child ren. Whatever stimulates imagination stimulates menfal growth. ''-Buster tsrown" is a beneficial, moral. entrancing stimulant to the imagination of children who see this famous little chap when he appears at the local playhouse. Buster Brown. himself, well groom ed. and handling the biggest words with the ease of a college professor, -the pretty chorus girls that sing and dance bewitchingly; the funny come d,ians. with their jolly songs and queer make-ups: Buster's manly young father and all the. rest of it-those are the things upon which children's minds develop. Children suffer if they do not oc casionally receive the normal stimu lant of pleasant excitement. And at "Buster Brown," your boy, a real American boy, with pure. red blood coursing through his young body. is afforded an opportunity to meet, face to face. the greatest hero of the age, in the eyes of young America. Do you remember the first show you ever attended 1 You will never forget what plea sure it gave' you at the time and you can still find joy in recalling that one exDerience. Such things really have a beneficial effect on a whole lifetime. An old American joke represents the father taking the child to cir eus as an exouse for going himself. No excuse should be needed for "Buster Brr>wn." Boys and girls should >e taken to such plays as "Buster Brown'' as often as the opportunity presents itself. I It is their right and the father and mother should go along to enjoy the performance with the childria, and to enjoy, above all, the -children's.in tense delight.
