Russell assigned one negro tc l, No. 8 township, one to No. 5, one tc - No. 2, one to No. 3, and three to No. t 1 township; two in the town of New. berry and one in the township out side of the city. The negroes will be expected t< D enumerate only .those of their owr race. It is hoped that the enumeratorn for the city of Newberry will seeurc r a correct and complete census of the D inhabitants. By the census of 1880 thirty years ago, there were a fe"" more than three thousand peoph counted within the .city limits. Al that time there was no cotton mill it . Newberry. By 'the census of 1900 r twenty years later, after two mill had been bilt, the United State census gave the .town only 4,600 peo ple.

Annual Meeting Stockhiolders New ..e:ry Savings Bank.-Every thing Satisfactory. The annal meeting of the stock hold'ers of the Newberry Savings bank was held yesterday morning in the roo'ms of the ba?nk, 'The r aporte of the oflicers of the bank showed the institution in a very healthy and sat. isfactory con .iition. Mr. L. W. Floyd was elected diree tor in place of Mr. 0. McR. Holmes deceased. The other directors were reelected. The board as elected is as follows: J. K. Gilder, 43. S. Mowe~r t Dr. W. D Sen'n, B. C. Matthews, L 3 W. Floyd, :C. E. Summer, Jas. Me Intosh and J E. Norwood. - The directors met and eleted the L follcwing officers: Dr. Jas. McIntosh, ,president; G. S. Mower, vica-presi. dent; J. E. Norwood, eashier; P. Fant Gilder, bookkeeeper; Frazier L. Evans. collector; a-nd Mower and By num, solicitors. Appropriate resolutions on the ath of Mr. Holmes were adopted. MAKING THEM ATTLCTIVE The Chamber of Commerce Moving Forward.-Let Every Good Citi zen Give at Least His Moral Support. The rooms at the chamber of com merce have been touched up and, new mat.tiog has been put on the floor of the reading room, and shades put to the windows. President Hunt has al so had nice lettering put on the front windows. It is the purpose of the management to make the rooms at-I tractive anrd comfortable so that the members may find it pleasant and profitable to spend some of their spare moments there. It should be kept constantly in the minds of the people of Newberry that the chamber of commerce stands for the advancement of the town and county and for the uplift of the peo ple. If this is remem,bered no good citizen can keep himself aloof from the organization. If he doesn't feel that he can afford to be an active member, he can, at least, give it his moral support and speak good words for amy and, everything undertaken by the organization. V e want to hear every citizen in Newberry speak ing good words for the town and the county, and lending his support and praise to every tning -that is launched! it matters not who -happens to be at the head of the enterprise. There has, been, unforunately for the growth and development of the county, too I great a disposition not only not to eooperate but actually to knock and to act as stumbling blocks to enter prises; sometimes, forsooth on at count of some little personal griev ance we may have against the men who are < onnected with the enter prise. This spirit must be put aside and we must all work together. Every eitizen should be willing to give at least his moral support, for what helps the town is obliged to help every citizen of the town.

Me Collough of Greenville, as special judge to hold the regular April term of court for Greenwood county in place of Judge Dantzler who is ill. SPECIAL NOTICES.
