CAPT. MINUS IN NEWBERF.Y.
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.

IWILL BUILD NEW MILL.
The Directors of the Newberry Cot
ton Mill Decide to Build Mill
INo. 2.-10,000 Spindles, 300
Looms.
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

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
