[uch Favorable Comment on Action of Council as to the Old Court House Square. Visitors to Newberry from differ it parts of the State this week have ,marked upon the great. improve Lent whieh has been brought about s the result of the ordinance pro ibiting the unerasonable standing ud hitching of teams on the old >urt house square. These favorable expressions have >me not only from people from ther counties, but from many New erry county people who have real :ed and are realizing the good re ,Its. Mayor Blease says that practical-. r .the only complaints which have ,ached him have been from certain arties in the city who have urged iat the ordinance would inconven ,nee the country people coming to ie city. He says -that he is willing > stand upon his record as a friend f the country people, and that as e sees it, and as many others see , the ordinance is directly in thet iterest of the country people. It not intended, he said, and never ,as intended, to prohibit a man rom coming to town with a load of iekens or other country produce, nd disposing of it, but when one ian had disposed of his load, then was but fair that somebody else ould have a chance. All who- have given the matter se ions ithought should agree that it in the interests of the ap?earance, e health and the business' of the ity, and directly in the interesi f every body in the county having ny business in Newberry, that ithe quare should not be used as a feed table. During last summer '.eams ould be seen every Aay being hitched nd fed on the square and allowed 3 stand during, the entire day. This f course will .not be permitted un er the new ordinane, and shoul4 ever have been permitted. Another step forward is being trongly arged, and if taken would dd greatly to the appearance of the ity, and that is the placing of cop ag In front of the old court house, ciaking this coping an extension of he wall in the rear of the buildi!ng round the monument, the eneclosure o be used for a small park. As has ~een suggested by Tile Herald and fews, if council should provide.this ~oping, the civie associ.ation could hen lav egf Vhe park, this work be ng directly in line with the pupoe or which the civie association was rganized. It has been suggested hat the coping might be extenided a front of the building a sufficient istanee to go to the old central ale ^post. The ordinance now in eReef is a ~reat forward step. The copifng sug ~eted, the enclosure to be lused ,for small park, would~ be another. COTTON~ KABET.
