L H. AULL, EDITOR. Entered at the Postoffice at New erry, S. C.. as 2nd class matter. Friday, July 15, 1910. Newberry: The city that does things. COTTON MILL ASSURED. The grttifying news is carried in our local columns today of the organ ization and building of another cot ton mill in Newberry. The two mills which are here have been eminently successful and have been of great benefit to the commercial interests of the city. Another mill will add ma terially to the importance of New berry as a trading centre. The gen tlemen who are behind this enter prise are among the most successful business men of Newberry, and it is gratifying to record that they have the hearty co-operation and substan tial help of all the business men and will be able to raise locally a very - large proportion of the capital. stock. Nothing was said about this enter prise ntil It was assured. Every man who can do so should take some stock in the enterprise because it will not only pay a dividend on the investment, but will be of general benefit to the community and will help everybody, whether he be a property owner ora wage-earner simply. The more op portunities that are opened in any community to give employment to the people the more benefit will the people of that .community receive. It is expected that application will be.made very soon for a charter and that work will be commenced on the new mill within the next thirty days. Nothing has been said about the locar tion and this will not be decided un til the directors are chosen. That will be a very easy matter, however. It is exceedingly gratifying to the promoters of this mill that this enter p.rise is receiving the unanimous and -substantial endorsement of the busi ness men of this community. In fact, this' is one proposition upon which everybody is united and those who are organizing the mill are having the material support of the citizens. ISN'T THIS TRUE. When a fellow spends his time and energy working up so'mething that is for the good of the community, you may think of some other plan along the same line, after he h*as outlined his plan, but don't urge your plan in opposition t4a the fellow who has worked up the movement. Let him go ahead and 'help him to carry his movement through, if he can, and give him your support and encour agement. If he succeeds, the .benefit is yorrs and everybody's. If he fails there is no harm done, and then maybe your plan will succeed. Let's sup port the man who starts a movement that is for the good of the whole com munity, and o whose plan there can be no objection if it can be success 'fully carried through. If he has- work ed up the interest in, the .movement, then there would have been no move mnent but for him. But, by all means, if we don't support him, let's not create division by starting an opposi tion plan. Remember that if he fails. nobody suffers but the people who have tried to put it through, and if he wins, everybody is benefited. Un animity of action is a great asset for a community. It is the sine qua non of progress. If a community is going forward it must have it. NEWBERRY'S CAMIPAIGN. That the sum of $25,000 is not be yond the ability of the people of New berry to raise, with reasonable exer tion, for a Young Men's Christian as sociation building will be admitted by persons familiar with the city and its people. From this it follows that the Ssum will be raised-because the dis position of Newberry to support an ente,rprise of this nature is beyond question. Next to a public school system. the Young Men's Christian association. properly equipped for its work, is es sential to the wholesome prosperity of every growing city. Newberry be longs to that class. The young men must have their corner, in the "dive," or in a com fortable house Wbere clean influences and Christian influences prevail?--I at The State. Ti This is well said. The committees n and other matters connected with this campaign will be announced in a few R< days and we bespeak for the leaders in this campaign the unanimous sup- er port of all the people of Newberry, an including the women and children. ai The amount fixed is easily within the ch reach of the people of Newberry and 1l there will be no balking or halting in w this campaign. We are going to lay ti( aside all selfish and personal matters ed la and get down together for the Y. M. l C. A. building. . w This is to mark Newberry's cam- m paign this year.

Graydon is a candidate for re-election to the State senate a from Abbeville'. Mr. Graydon during C his service in the senate has made a most valuable member. He is con- S servative, and he is a hard worker. He is conscientious and fearless in tc the discharge of his duty, and is a eg gentleman of the highest integrity. As a member of the State senate he re gards the interests of the people of the whole of South aCrolina, and he has been one of the leaders of that body. Death of Mr. D. W. Richardson- ti *Mr. Daniel Walter Richardson died ic of paralysis on Monday evening at 8 o'clock, in the 48th year of hiis age, v after an illness of six weeks, at the ti home of his brother, Mr. T. P. Rich- it ardson, with whom he was living, in s< the St. Paul's community, and was g buried on Tuesday afternoon at 3 iw o'clock at the family (Livingston) bu- t rial ground, the Rev. J. A. Sligh con- ta ducting the service. The deceased i was a member of St. Paul's church ta and was a good man and citizen. He was unmarried and was the son of b4 the late J. P. Richardson, of this-a county. His mother, Mrs. Nancy t Richardson, is living, also making al her home with her son, Mr. T. P.

The deceased is the first child to have been buried by th% mother, the father having -preceded him to tle grave. He was a farmer and of the sturdy yoemanry of the country, the kind of citizens that make a land glorious inu peace and powerful in war. Mr. RichW ardson was too young for the war, but he had the spirit of his ancestors. The family and connections and1 large circle of friends will miss him.B Sympathy to those: who mourn.
