Board of Governors of Chamber of Commerce Entertained by President Mayer. Dr. 0. B. Mayer, presiden,t of the cI:mber of commerce, entertained the board of governors at his 110:1U in East Main street last Friday ev ening, and served a most excellent. dinner. At this meeting every member of the board was present, and it was agreed that it would be well to have the meeting repeated, as it was the surest way to obtain a~full meeting of the board. Several matters pertaining to the welfare of the city and the work of the chamber of commerce during the coming year, were discussed. It was decided, among other things, to ask the members of the legislature from New,berry, to make provision in the supply bill, or by special act, for the erection of a steel bridge over the Saluda river at, or near Herbert's Ferry, or Kempson's Ferry, and a committee was appointed composed of I. H. Hunt, C. T. Summer and Z. F. Wright to take the matter up and to suggest the location, for the bridge, and then to confer with the legislature as to the 'passage of the law providing for the \ building of the bridge. The chamber of commerce during the past year has reduced the in debtedness of the body very mate rially, and that with a small mem bership. It is hoped to increase the. ,membership and thus be able to pay off the indebted.ness and aceu mulate :1 fund with which to oper ate. It is very difficult to run any or ganization without funds. If the business men of Newberry - would cooperate by ,becoming members and paying the small dues promptly, a great deal more good, could be ac complished, and the barden would be very light. It is the p6licy of the present organization to have only members who pay their dues and if the members do not take a sufficient interest to pay their dues, the con stitution will be enforced. With that in view, the following resolution was adopted and will be enforced. It is hoped that all those who are now members will see. the importance to the community of mantaining an* org.anization and will come forward and pay their dues and assist in securin~g addi ~tional members. "Resolved: That al.l memeers of the chamber of commerce who are three months in arrears be given until Jan. 15th, 1910, to pay their dues and that all who fail to do so, he expelled according to the by-laws. "Resolved: That this resolution be published .in the local papers.'' Colored Teachers' Association.
