"Merchant" in last Tuesday's is sue 'of The Herald and News, gave good advice on "Why I should be. Clong to the chamber of commerce." As he says we can aever make this city what it should be without a live chamber of commerce. It ibrings up pleasant memories to read the fine article on the Y. M. C. A. (published in last Tuesday's Her ald and News) by Mr. A. C. Jones, in which he says that thirty-one years ago -Mr. R. Y. Leavell, Mr. J. E. Chapman and himself represented the Newberry association in the State convention at Anderson. In the Greenville News there was an interesting aceunt of the an nual field day at -Chicora college, which the paper said was pulled off in grand style by the young ladies. Among the interesting events was the running high jump, of which the reporter said: The first place fell to Miss Marietta Langford, fresh man, who made a beautiful jump of four feet five inches. A little after noon on last .Satur day Joe Johnson, colored, who lives on Mr. Frank Satterwhite 's place, fell in front of Fellers & Morgan's and great excitement was caused 'by the supposition that a man had drop ped dead. He was not dead. It was only a collapse. He was taken, to the officee of Drs. Pelham and Mower where he was treated and allowed to rest antil he reeovered sufficiently to be put in charge of his people. There was a sort of "mixtry'' at mayor's court yesterday morning, all sorts.

Amidty Lodge. Special 'communication Amity Lodge No. 87, A. F. M. Wednesday evening (6th 'inst.) at 7.30 o'clock. The M. M. degree will be conferred. H. W. Dominicek, . W.M. Jno. W. Earha~rdt, FOR BET.TEr RoADS. Capital to County Highway to be Put in Condition and Relocated so as To Avoid Grade Crossings. The special committee of the chai ber of coinmerce to look after -ne county's portion of the capital high way met in the ehamber of commerce Fri*y afternoon. Rpresentativs from Prosperity were present -and as surances were received from people along the road from here to Laurens as well as between Newberry and the Lexington line, of assistance and cooperation in making this the best part of the road between Columbia and Greenville. A committee, with the supervisor, went over the road from Newberry to Kinards Friday morning. With very little work this road can be put in excellent condition. Mr. George C. Glasgow, who by the way is building an elegant country home on his place near Jalapa, is willing to cooperate with the committee and the supervisor and will give the land to have the road changed just above Jalapa so as to avoid two grade crossings on the railroad. There are one or two other places in this road that ought to -be relocated but it will hardly be possible to secure the cooperation of the land owners. The sapervisor promises to begin work on this road in the next few days and it ought not to take him but a very short time to have it in fine conditios. . The committee on Friday appointed a sub-committee to confer with the people who own the land between New,berry and Little Mountain' and to see if the grade crossings can not be avoided and the road relocited, at least, from the Boyd crossing to Pros perity and in this way avoid crossing the C., N. & L. road at all between Newbery and Prosperity .and only one crossing on the Southern. It is understood that several of the land owners are willing to cooperate in relocating the road and it is be lieved that*'all of them will see tha great advantage in having the road so located as not to cross the rail road. It will be worth a great deal to Newberry county to have this road from the Lexington to the Laurens lines and it is h1oped 'that the people of the county will cooperate in mak ing it second to no highway in this State. The Right Spirit. The new supervisors of registra tion, Messrs. C. E. Wheeler, R. C. Sligh and W. W. Riser, took charge of the offiee yesterday. The old board composed of Messrs. B. B. Leitzsey, E. Lee Hayes and Joe W. Wertz turned over the office and explained the duties to their successors -and then complimented them with a din ner at the Crotwell Hotel. Mr. Ris er was absenit. In addition to the- members of the board, Editor W. H. Wallace and the editor of The Herald a.nd News were invited to dinner with them. This is the right spirit. Returns With His Bride. Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Cannon, who were married on Easter Monday in Palatka, Fla., arrived here yesterday afternoon and were entertained last evening at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Hipp in Calhoun street. Mr. 'Cannon's bride was Miss Mary Bruee, daughter of Mr. Robley Bruce, formerly of New,berry. At the time of Mr. Cannon's departure for Florida on his pleasant mission The Herald and News remarked that ''Newberry will give a hearty welcome ,to the new bride and groom." Which 'is be ing amply verified 'to the satisfaction of all concerned. A Newberry Girl Wins the Prize. Miss Marion Earhardt was award ed the first prize in~ the co2htest re eently inaugurated by the Columbia State. It will be remembered that The .State ''offered two prizes to the two children answering most aptly and most nearly correctly a number *of questions prepared by the direeor of the American Tuberceulosis Exhi bition." Miss Marion is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Earhar'dt of this city. She is only twelve, but has always stood high on the rolls at school. There were many respons e3 t.o the questions. Good Friday at the Parsonage. Quite a crowd assembled at the parsonage of the Bethlehem pastorate on Good Friday, and enjoyed them selves very much. That was the time for their annual picnie. The pastor and his family were re menbered in substantial ways, .re eiving some things for the pantry and also some money. We are very grateful to our friends for such evidence of esteem and love. Jno . Long. BARACA-PILATHA. i rirst State Convention to Meet in Newberry.-Final Committee Meetings Tonight. Special efforts have been made for at least two months trying to get Ne-berry prepared for the great and first State Baraca-Philathea conven tion. A gf-lat many things had to be looked after, and 'the various com mittees appointed include about sev enty-five or eighty enthusiastic Sun day school workers. It is believed now that everything is in perfect shape for the convention. The var i,us committees are asked to mee. in the chamber of commerce Tuesday evening at .eight o'clock. Fial re ports will be made, and any new matters will be attended to. Not on ly are the committees urged to be present with a full membership, but every citizen of the town and all the ladies who are interested in this meet :g are invited to meet with the .coua mittees. All are not only invited to be present to hear reports, but io imake any sugge-tion for the suee of the convention. The ministers of the town have given this movement not only their moral support, but they have been present at many of the meetings of the committees and have given prac tical and helpful advice. All the money that has been needed to meet the local expense of the convention was readily raised, and the whole movement has met with encourage ment; and the inthusiasm which marked the first meetings has been maintained throughout all the meet ings , and now, right on the eve of the convention, we feel more encouraged than ever. Since many of the most distinguish ed men and women of this State will ibe present it is fit that Newberry should be at -her ,best; aad the Naw berry spirit, that has made -this town famous, needs to be on the alert to make all visitors feel at home. Delegates pay their own expenses while in our city, but what we need to realize is that the spirit of hospi tality and good fellowship eannot be bought, and ithat to give this spirit without price and without measure will bring a double blessing. It is quite urncertain just how many dele gates wili be present; but whether we have five hundred or two hundred, :let's give them a royal and enthus iastic reception. -The 'Baraea-Philathea movement simply means an organized effort to bring young men and women into the Sunday school and put them to work. The movement is entirely inter-de nominational, and wh'erever it 'has had a fair chance it has produced good results, and has received the en thusiastic support of Sun.day school workers in the United States. The m'eetings of the convention are open to all our people as well as to the delegates, and it is earnestly hoped that each meeting will be large ly attended by the people of the town. Believing that the importance of the subjects discussed and the rep utation of the men iwho will lead in the discussion are such as will appeal to our people it has been decided to hold all the principal meetings in the city opera ho- ise so that accomnoda tions may be made for all who wish to attend. A Little Fire. At about 'half past one o 'clock last Saturday aftennoon there was a small fire on the premises of Mr. T. 0. Stewart, corner Johinstone and Wilson streets, caused by hot ashes. The fire company responded prompt ly and extinguished the blaze before it had done much damage to an ad joining ,building occupied by Messrs. I. D. and J. D.Shockley, the roof of which, 'however, was damaged enough to cause the recovering of one side. But 'there had to be some knocking down of benches and fences 'to help save property. And the crowd was immense. I Stricken With Paralysis. Mr. J. Benson Suber had a stroke of paralysis last Saturday noon and is in a serious condition, his entire right side being affected and 'his power of speech almost ,eompletely gone. He was sitting in the hall of his home when called to dinner Sat urday and gave way as ha 'eitered the dining room. Dr. J. M. Kibler was called and is attending the 3ick man. 'The many friends of Mr. Suber hope that Dr. Kibler will soon 'have him restored to health. A School Picnic.
