In this particular, 9 however, Newberry is not unique, as we find from reading our exchanges that the same trouble exists in a number of other towns and cities. We have so often spoken of the E good results that could be ob:tained for the community by united effort of all the business interests, that we re fer :to'it again with some reluctance. We cannot understand why the merchants and other business inter ests will not take more active part in an organized effort to build up the community, when such an effort would 'cost so little in time and mon ey and result in such large dividends ] not only indirectly but directly, to I their business interests. It takes z money for such an organization to t aceomplish resulits. ~ It takes united i effort and active interest on the part of every beusiness man in the com munity, as well as money. We notice from the Columbia Rec- t t ord that the same trouble exists in . the city of Columbia, and that a large number in proportion who do take an interest in the Chamber of i. Commerce, is composed of others ( than merchanits, and if such an or- d ganization can aecomplis?h direct ben- e efit to any .business interest in the f community, that business interest is t aiways represented in the merchants t of the community. We started out, however, to copy two paragraphs -from the Columbia 'Record, and to commend them to our b citizens generally. Dr. Mayer, as President of the I Newberry Chamber of Commerce bi ~ha~s been active and energetic, but he 0 'has not 'had the cooperation of the ~ ensiness men that. he deserves. I The Record, in concluding a busi- g ness talk to business men, along this point, says: ''No business can operate withod a capital. The Chamber of Commerce I has no capital. It has never had. It ' is without resources. Its fixed ex penses jus:t about equal its stated in ceome. It cannot, in this condition, undertake anything but rourtine work. There can be no progress, no reach ing out, no drawing in, no advance ment of any character. It is tied hand and foot. ''To accomplish anything, the Chamber of Commerce must have 'capital, it must have resources. It must be .able to more than pay thei salaries of its secretary and stenog- 1 rapher, the rent of its office, the post age, light and fuel bills, etc. It must be in -position to do something before it can begin to serve its purpose. If it does not pay a dividend on the in vestment of its members, it is because there is practically no investment. ''A strong pull, all together, for. Columbia's advancement, and for dividends to every Columbia enter prise, should be started at the an- 1 nual meeting next Monday night.'' LET IT DROP. The Herald and News agrees fully with the Anderson Mail that , too, much has already been said of the Taft lune-heon, and the intemperate language of Senator Tillman and| Capt. Gonzales does not help the sit uation. No South Carolinian has any grudge against the city of Columbia or her people. In fact, we are all proud of our capitol city and esteem her people very highly. There may be personal animosity amongst indi viduals out of ColumIbia towards some individuals in Columbia, and and vf'ce versa, but these do not constitute either the State of South Carolina or the city of Columbi and s'hould have no place in discussimns or functions pertaining to all the peo ple. We think Columbia made a mistake in the manner of arraning~ the la;! eh'on, and a great many Columbiha people think so, but that was no o C:Of fo us to get mad and say irsh things, and we could gO -)n >out our own affairs and say noth ig. Too much has been said and e only wanted to protesr against 2v more such harsh language about We agree further with the Mail iat the Spartanburg Journal should e ashamed to make such an attack a the editor of the State. It is true iat the editor of the State uses his reat newspaper to injure those he ersoiially dislik---, and very often ijects very harsh personal criti isms into his editorials, but th'at oes not justify it in other editors, nd no good can come of it. But as we have before -remarked, he sooner this whole matter is end d the better. "Sigma," who is a member of the armers Mutual #ays it needs no ar ,imenit to convince him that the ompany -should pay Mr. Chappell's oss. That seems to be the unani nous opinion of the members of the ompany. It is certainly the equity riew whether it is law or not. Nezt Thursday i Thanksgiving )ay.

Chester Lantern. It" would seem from he number of idietments- that the blind Itigers of hester are not much afraid of the anger. We don't have that many ases in Newberry in a year. The ct is ithere are not that many blind gers in the whole of Newberry coun . Still that was a good percent age f convictions. We uuderstand that it will hardly practicable for :the C., N. & L. and ie .C. & W. C. and tihe Atlantic oast Line to operate a parlor car etween Greenville and Charleston, a account- of the necessi:ty of usirig eavy engines in order to do so. If Er. Childs of the C. N. & L., would ive us a Pullman serviee between ~olumbia and Atlanta on his morn g train from Laurens t'o Columbia nd evening train from Columbia to jaurens, it would be a greait con enience to the people of this com annity. It would make it much more omfortable and a considerable say ng in time and expense for people rom Columbia and along the line as ar as Laurens, to make the !trip to tlanta and return. For inistanee, those from Newberry who desire to go to Atlanta could get sleeper here a:t 7.25 p. m. and be n Atlanta the next morning for reakfast, without change of cars. eturning, leave Atlanta nert night md be in Newberry for breakfast, ~iving an entire day in Atlanta and osirrg only one day from business. We are sure the traveling public would appreciate :this improvement .n the service, and hope that Mr. 1'hilds a.nd4 the Seaboard will put on :his sleeper. At this time when there is so much idverse eri;ticism by the newspapers >f jurors and suggestions for chang as in the jury system, it is pleasant to refer to the compliments paid the Newberry jurors by Judge Shipp. It will be noted Ithat every one of the thirty-six petit jurors was pres ent, and did not ask to be excused. Solicitor Cooper was afraid tha;t he could not finish the criminal business in one week, but it was all concluded 'Thursday morning, and the jurors were discharged.

Excelsior, Nov. 18.-The farmers in this section are busy sowing wheat. If next year should be favorable to grain'there will be more bread made in Newberry coun.ty than has been for a number of years. This is the idea and the farmers ought to have sowed wheat all the time. A large areage of oats also has been sown. .Miss Annie singley has been con fined to her room with fever, but glad to say s'he is able to be up again. Prof. A'umerle Singley, who is teaching a flourishing school near Chapin spent Saturday and Sunday with the home folks here. The congregational meeting at Bachman Chapel 'church will be Sun day afternoon at 2 o'clock., Each member of t'he church is asked to be there at that hour. We spent Wednesday night in Sa lda county. Was glad to see the farmers over there -are sowing grain like they are not afraid of it. There is a lot of good land in Saluda coun ty that will make wheat, corn or cot ton. Mr. Editor, I have been a member of the Farmers Mutual for a number of years and I heartily endorse what has been said concerning Mr. 'Obap pell 's loss by fire. If Mr. Chappell's property destroyed by fire was mn s~red in the Farmers Mutual why shoculd the matter require any argu ment at all. The Association should pay him his loss and that would be the long and the short of it. Mr. J. M. Schumpert 'has albout completed a nice dwelling house on his place. Mr. J. D. H. Kibler has moved, in St. Paul's section and Mr. Corne lius 'Counts and family, of Clinton, have moved in the house vacated by Mr. Kibler. Sigma.
