Talks Interestingly of His Experi ences at Clemson College.-Feels an Interest in College. Capt. J. C. Minus, who has recently been commandant at Clemson Col lege, stopped over in Newberry on Tuesday to spend a few hours with his former college-mate, Capt. W. S. Langford. Capt. Minus seems very much in earnest and conscious of the right eousness of his contention in the mat ter of. discipline at Clemson college. He says that he is willing and anxious to have a most thorough investigation made of his record as commandant at the college, and feels satisfied that if t4e people of the State could see the situation as it is that they would be easily convinced that what he is en deavoring to do is for the best inter est of the institution and the young men of the State. Capt. Minus says that he will pre pare in a day or two a full statement to the people of the State which he will give to the daily papers covering the statements made by Dr. Mell and Prof. Riggs in the daily papers and also giving some information in de tail as -to the situation at Clemson. Capt. Minus said in -regard to Dr. Mell's statement in reply to his statement: "So far as I see Dr. Mell has answered nothing. I assert that I have the facts that will show my contentions. I expect to make a fuller and more specific statement to-mor row or.next day." He also said that all told he be lieves that the- editorial in the Co lumbia Record of Monday, which is printed in The Herald and News, by Mr. James A. Hoyt, who went - to Clemson last April as a representa tive of thee News and Courier, sizes up the situation better than any crit icism or comment that he had seen in the newspapers. Capt. Minus left Monday afternoon for Clemson College where he will. be for a few days packing up his household goods. He intends to lo cate in South Carolina for the pres ent and will probably make his home in Columbia though he said he was very much pleased with Newberry. THE AMUS-U-THEATRE.

At a meeting of the directors of the Newberry Cotton Mill which was held on the 15th of this month it was decided to increase the capital stock of the company and to erect a build ing that will carry not less than 10, 000 spindles and 300 looms with the accompanying machinery necessary to operate a plant of that size. Thbis mill has been exceedingly suc essful and this increase of stock is~ open only to th'e stockholders at present. In order to build this addi tional mill it is proposed to increase' the capital stock of the company to $500,000 by issuing $100,000 of new tock wvhieh is offered to the stock holders in proportion to their present holdings at par to be taken by them by May' 1, 1909. It is estimated that the 'enlarge ment of the mill will cost $250,000. The excess of cost over the amount of new stock offered to the present stockholders will be paid for out of the earnings of the mill. This action of the directors, of course, is subject to the confirmation of the stockholders at their annu~I meeting on May 5. There is no doubt that the stockholders will confirm the action of the directors and that work on the new mill will be com mened in a very short time. The capacity of the pr1esent mill was doubled some years ago out of the earnings and while the capital Istock at present i's only $250,000 the plant is probably worth $1,000.000. The company suffered some losses a few years ago, but these in no way crippled the 'enterprise, and, under the presidency of Mr. Z. F. Wright the mill is succeeding. Sermon to Odd Fellows. Rev. J. D. Shealy will preach a sermon to the Odd Fellows Sunday niht at the Mollohon ehurch. All ("id Fellows -will please meet at the half after seven o'clock. JT F. McConnell. SUCCEEDING IN TEXAS. Mr. P. P. Langford Cashier City Na tional Bank, Wichita Falls, Texas.-Went from Newberry. We 'have received a copy of the Wichita Times, of Wichita Falls, Texas, which contains a "write up" and an excellent photograph of Mr. P. P. Langford, a former Newberry boy and the brother of Mr. S. S. Langford and an uncle of Mayor Langford, of Newberry. Mr. Langford went to Texas in 1885 and has prospered in his adopt ed State and is now cashier of the City National Bank, of Wichita Falls, and has held that position since 1896. Before that he was treas urer of the county for six years. The City National Bank has a cap ital of $75,000, undivided profits of more than $175,000, and a deposit ac count of $600,000. The Wichita Times says that "It is a well established fact that the suc cess or failure of a banking institu tion is primarily due to the ability and integrity of its cashier, the man who is more largely responsible for the safe handling of a bank's capital and its depositors money, than any other person connected with the in stitution.'" The Times then speaks of the suc cess of the City National and states that Mr. Langford started with the bank as collector, and that he is en titled to full recognition for the high standing which his institution has attained. He is also a large stockholder in the bank and president of the Ice Company and actively identified with a number of other enterprises of the city. The Herald and News is always pleased to note the success of New berrians who cast their lots in other communities. SCHOOL BOYS INTERESTED. More Than One Hundred and Fifty Will Enter Contest.-Seed to be -Distributed Saturday. County Superintendent of Educa tion J. S. Wheeler published a little notice in the papers -this week which reads as follows: "Notice to school boys. All school boys who have agreed .to plant a half acre in corn or cottog will call at my office on ~Saturday, April 24th, and get th~e seed." This is an innocent little notice and may be overlooked, therefore, we de sire to guote it in this connection so that all of the boys who'have de ided to enter this contest may not fail 'to be on hand. We understand that there are about 150 boys in the county who are going into the contest and Mr. Wheeler has been busy all the week getting the seed a'rranged and put in packages so as to have no trouble in delivering it to them on Saturday. He is being assisted in getting the seed together by Mr. S. M. Duncan, agent for tahe government in this county in thbe matter of co-operative work. This experiment by the boys is un der 'the direction of Dr. Knapp of the Federal government, and it is pleasant to note that so many'-of them are go iig to be interested in it.. If we can get the boys of this ounty to' take an interest in farm work and improved methods and the use of improved seed, it will be a great thing for the agricultural de velopment of our section. The Herald and News would like to have the boys who enter this con test to- write short articles for the paper giving their plan of cultivation and -the result of their work at the end of .the year. Mr. Wheeler has promised to -far~ nish a list of these names and we are going to print it in the paper. One of the great"needs of .this county today is something that will encourage the boys to remain on the farm and we helieve this contest which is being undertaken by the government among the school boys will contribute largely o tha't end. Notice to Newberry Veterans. The veterans home in Columbia, S. C.. will he ready 'to receive all in valid veterans from each county on the 10th of May, 1909.
