Wright Gives His Impres sions. President Z. F. Wright. of th. New berry Cotton mills. and President Geo. W. Summer. of the Mollohon Mfg. Co.. were of the party of cot ton manufacturers in this State who were last week the guests of the Clinehlfield railroad and the Clinch field Coal Mine owners on the trip over the new C., C. & 0. road, and a visit to the coal mines owned by these people. As is known this road from the coal fiel'ds has been completed at great ex pense across thc mountains, and is now in operation to Bostick. Work is being pushed rapidly on the link between Bostick and Spartanburg a distance of thirty one miles. It is no doubt the purpose of the promo ters of this road to build to the At lantic coast, but up to this time no defin.ite plans have been made for ex tending the road from Spartanburg. As is known the Newberry chamber of commerce has a special committee appointed to look after Newberry's interest in connection with the exten sion of this road from Spartanburg. The probability of securing the road via Newberry seems very favorable and it is hoped in the near future to have some of the officials of the road to visit Newberry. If the banquet, which is proposed to be held by the chamber of commeree, is held, it is -hoped that some of these officials may be able to he present at this banquet. If it is not held, however, it is hoped to have the officials visit Newberry anyway. Knowing the interest which the people of Newberry feel in the ef fort to secure this road when it is un dertaken to build it from Spartanburg to the coast and President Wright being chairman of the special commit tee, The Heral and News asked Mr. Wright to tell something of his trip and the country and the coal fields and the prospects of extending the road to the coast. In answer to this request Mr. Wright said: By invitatioli of the Clinchfield Coal Corporation about fifty cotton millmen of the State were taken on a trip over the Clinehfield, Carolina and Ohio road to Dante, Va., at which point the coal mines are located. This company now owns about 3, 000,000 aeres in the 'heart of the mountains, and is now operating what will be at sometime the largest coal mines in this country. No efforts were spared to make this trip a most delightful one in every way. The C. C. and 0. road now runs from Dante, Va., to Bostiek, N. C., and by October will be completed to Spart.anbu.rg, S. C. The party was taken over the S. A. L. Bostiek, from there over the C., C. & 0. to the coal fields. This line h.as been completed at an enormous expense, 20 miles of it costing $195, 000 per mile. The scenery along this route can not be surpassed any where in this country. There is one point on the road at which the rail road can be seen at three different poins all not more than a few hun dred yards apart. The country along this route is undeveloped but at some future day will no doubt re.ach a point not excelled by any of our thickly populated districts today. The railroad- runs along the side of the river Toe for fifty miles. This river is banked by the highest moun tains a-long this range, hence the stream is very swift. There is enough power now going to waste on this river to run all of the millIs in South Carolina and North Carolina combin ed, and it is only a question of a short time when this will be utilized. This special trip was taken during the day and was taken very slowly so as to give the party an opportun ity of enjoying the beautiful scenery. When t:he party reached Johnson City, a very delightful little eity of 12,000 people, tihey were met at the train by a committee of citizens who took them on a little trolly ride around the city and out to the Na Itional Soldiers' Home. where the gov ernent has spent $3,000,000 in order to care for the old soldiers. It might! be saidl here as a matter of interest that this little city is considered the healthiest. point in the United States. The objective point, namely, the [coal fields, was reached early Satur day morning. The little town whieh i-s entirely new is owned exclusively by the Clincehfield Coal corporation. They have already spent a large sum of money in developing this town and coal mines and are now busily engag ed making improvements and increas ing the capacity of the mine. All modern improvements have been used. and electrie l.ights have been .instail ed in all the -houses, water works ove, the nt ire village, an.d everything has been done to make this a delightful place to live. The party was taken through the 1erallo wat eX )Ii WZ by I I' Ic h ral manager. who by the way. is the highest salaried man in their business today. The mines are operated by electri eitv. lines of wire being run through the mines and operating the little trolies by which the coal is taken from the mines to the ears for ship inent. The party was given la ride through the mines, which extended a mile and a half through the moun tains and about 500 feet below the surface. It is impossible to describe the sen sation experienced on this trip through t-he mines and some idea of the field might be obtained when you remember that this shaft or hole in the mountain is only about eight or ten feet wide and hardly ,high enough for a man six feet high t) stand erect. The return trip was ,aade via Blue bield, W. Va., Roanoke, Va., and Win ston-Salem, N. C., on down to Char leston. This detour was made on ac ouut of a fall in of one of the tun nels on t:he C., C. and 0. road. The general engineer of this road being on the train with us during the antire trip gave us some very valu able information in regard to build ing railroads and it was my pleasure to have quite a long talk with him on the general subject of railroads and incidentally on tahe subject of the C., C. and 0. coming by Newberry. He was thoroughly familiar with the road from Spartanburg to Columbia both by Newberry and -down Broad river. There is no question in my mind but that this road will be ex tended to Charleston. The route from Spartanburg has not been select ad, but it is my opinion we have a fair chance of securing this road if proper inducements are offered. Mr. Caples, the chief engineer, just spoken of, is a very able, man and horoughly familiar with railroad work. He very kindly promised to visit Newberry sometime in the near future .and go ove. the route careful y and is very anxious to get all in formation he can concerning the route which will go by Newberry, and has also promised to visit our town ani ive the citizens a talk on the sub ject of building railroads and advaii tages derived therefrom. As has been stated before no de %nite plans have been adopted for the building of this road from Spartan burg to Charleston and as this op portunity is so very important it seems to me tihat we should lose no time in arranging some systematie work by which we will be enabled to show the authorities the advantage af coming by this important posint.

In the report in the State of the commencement at Laurens of the graded schooil the following is said of President Harms: "The beginning of the commence ment was on Sunday morning, May 30, with a sermon by the distinguish ed president of Newberry college,'Dr. J. Henry Harms. He took for his text, Micha 6: 8: "And what doth the L6rd require of thee, but to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God ' The sermon was one of such high order that it is a pity not to give the press a steno graphic report of it so that the public might grasp every thought. Newberry college may he assured of the support and confidence of the people of South Carolina so long as Dr. Harms re mains its -able president. "Dr. Harms preached again Sun day evening, and this sermon also was greatly appreciated by the large audi ence. For both of these sermons Vhe school choir furnished inspiring muns *SOCIAL * * * * On Tuesday morning Mrs. W. H. Carwile entertained the Fortnightly club.

The reception was given in honor'of Miss Summer's three charming guests Misses Rogers, Graham, and Steele. In the receiving party with Miss Sum mer and the honorees were Misses Annie Green and Alice Aull. Mrs. J. IW. Haltiwanger gracefully presided ove th punch bowl, and during the evening delicious refreshments were served. IThe junior reception tendered the seniors of the college was held Thurs day night, and altlhough it was a most inlement evening yet everyone was present and everything moved off as smoothly and as charmingly as could be expected. There were fifty-nine in attendance, which included all the juniors and seniors and President and Mrs. J. H. Harms. The banquet was served by the ladies of thre A. R. P. church, and it was an excellent one, and most tastefully and beautifully served. Altogether the junior recep tin was one of .the best this year ever held. The banquet was served in the dining room at the Crotwell hotel, and it was quite tastefully dec orated for the occasion.

THE AMUS-U THEATRE. A Great Week For Vaudeville at G This Place of Amusement This S Week. 1 Manager Epting in announcing his program for this week says that he is welleaware that commencement week is here and owing to such he 'has gone to large expense to give the Newberry y people and commeqcement visitors an opportunity to see the best show ever l put on in Newberry for the money. - Among the people appearing in vaudeville are, tha long and well re membered two-Pete and Mayme Seymour. The little people were with us last week, and by special request of the patrons of this little vaude ,vjle liouse, the mianager by hard work managed some way to hold them over this week. Their work last week proves to be a success and L should be a credit to any vaudeville house, being t.he best yet out of the mny who have trotted the boards F at t'he Aus-U. Last but not least, is Larry H.' IHyatt, who builds. himself as 'the corker in cork, and he well deserves the title. As you all remember Mr. Hyatt 0 was here with us for one week some time ago and made good while here. He dese,rves great credit for his work and am sure there will be lot of his friends out to see him work. He will work this weaik with tihe Seymours,. presenting black face comedies and will change every day. So you all I can come out with the expectation of seeing something entirely different every day. The management has arranged his B opening hours so as to give the peo ple who attend the exercises at the opera house a chance to see the won- G derful work that is g'>ing on at this$ little vaudeville house.
