The Atlanta chamber of commerce held a meeting recently to give a boost to Atlanta and to the chamber of commerce. Reference to this meat ing was made in The Herald and News sometime ago. We notice in one of the Atlanta papers some interviews with some of t-he leading business men of Atlanta giving their reasons for be ing a member of the chamber of com merce. We take the liberty of quot ing from this paper the suggestions and reasons given by them which rea sons might be sufficient for the busi ness men of Newberry, and as the Newberry chamber of commerce is to meet tonight it seems to us that this -is an opportune time to discuss these matters. Mr. Samuel D. Jones, who is presi dent of. the Atlanta Stove Works, says: "I am a member of the chamber of commerce because the chamber offers a good opportunity to thrash out and dassify the various suggestions of fered for the advancement of the city, weeding out the bad, avoiding mis akes, and putting the good in shapej fQr Itelligent action. "Becase it is well organized and Intelligently directed and constitutes the most powerful force we have for the execution of such plats as tend to the upbuilding of the business in terest of the city. "Because it offers an opportunity for the Individual to assist in doing much that he could never attempt single-handed and alone. "And last, but not least, it offers great opportunity to develop the lat ent powers of the individual citizen, lowers frequently unknown even to the individual himself, thus benefiting the individual as well as the commu aity." Mr. W. T. Winn, who is a successful Snsurence man, gives his reasons for membership in the chamber of com merce as follows: "I am a member: First, because I 'believe the chamber of commerce Is a good Institution for Atlanta. "Second, I believe every citizen who has the Interest of Atlanta at heart should contribute his mite to hold the organization intact. "Third, I have .had occasion many times to observe its splendid useful ness to Atlanta, commercially, as well as from a civic and economic point of view." Mr. Winn adds that the organization has done more than any other agency to increase the Atlanta popu.lation and 4f the chamber of commerce would double its strength in the next ten years the population would be double. Dr. A. W. Stirling, one of the South's specialists, gives his reasons for mem bership in the organization as fol lows: "I am a member because I wished to 'be associated with the work of building up the city. "The chamber of comnmerce has been active and influential in making Atlanta one of the most strenuous and ambitious cities of the worild. "If its strength is doubled it will use its means honestly, and it will also make itself still more beloved by the other cities of the State, which already take a lively interest in Its numerous and far-reaching tentacles." These seem to us to be sane and sensible reasons and we would be pleased to have the business men of Newberry think on th,em. In co ~operation there is strength. PLiNOS FOR EVERYBODY. It would seem that every woman in Newberry county who is the least bit musically inclined is going to be giv en an opportunity to secure a piano free, or with certain varying amounts of rebates. One concern is advertis lng to give away $15,000. We are not on the inside of this soheme and are not permitted to give any information concerning it, and It is only mention ed incidentally to show the disposition of the piano makers to place a piano in every home in Newberry county. Announcement is made in this Issue by Summer & Hipp, the furnitura dealers, that they will also give a piano and a number of rebates. For the particulars concerning this offer you will find an advertisement in The *Herald and News, and other informa tin wil be given at the store of Sum r pp. A coupon is attached to the adver tisement carried in The Herald and News today, allowing anyone to nomi nate some young lady for this free piano and the various rebates which will be allowed on the purchase of a piano. The nominations will appear In the next issue of The Herald andi News. As we understand the proposition of Summer & Hipp, it is that for every $1.00 in cash spent at their store 200 votes will be given for each dol lar to the candidate selected by the spender of this $1.00. The piano is on exhibition at the furniture store of Summer & Hipp and may be seen by any one who de sires to enter the race. I An arrangement has been made with The Herald and News by which 200 votes will be counted in this contest for every $1.00 paid on sub scriptions to The Herald and News, either for renewals or new subscrip tions. In this contest you have the oppor tunity of voting, not only on the pur chase of furniture, but also on the subscription amount paid to The Her ald and News. Now is the time to get busy. This is no syndicate and will not take so many votes to win. It was published in the daily papers on Wednesday that Governor Ansel was going very carefully in the alT pointment of a railroad commissioner to succeed the late J. M. Sullivan. This is proper, The governor shduld go carfuily and as a rule his appoint mebts have been acceptable to the people of the State. An intimation is thrawn out in this statement referred to that one reason for the governor being so very care ful In his deliberations is the fear that he might offend some political organization as it is stated that he himself is an applicant for a Federal judgeship 'when his term of office ex pires, and that he has his wires care fully laid for this position. That is all right too. The governor has as much right to apply for this position and to use all honorable means to se cure - it as any other citizen of the State./ We can not believe, however, there 'is foundation for the suggestion that the governor is arranging his confer ences on the railroad commissioner ship and angling in order to make the appointee with a view to assisting 'him, the governor, in securing the Federal judgesbhip rather than consid er-ing the best interest of the public service in making the appo,intment. The daily papers state Attorney General Lyon is undecided whether he, will take up the Southern Merger case, d which has been standing for ten or twelve years, or whether he will come to Newberry to insist upon the trial of Mr. 'H. H. Evans. The court In Richland county meets at the same time that the court In S Newberry county does and both casest a are set for the .me day. t Supervisor Langford Is building some mighty fine roads in the Dutch Fork. It is said that there are no bet ter roads in the State than the roads now being built by the chaingang, and ere long the people of the Fork will have the satisfaction of knowing that their roads are in good condition. Lexington Dispatch. - We are pleased to know that Super visor Langford is building some goodt roads in the Dutch Fork and we hope 1 that one of these is the main road be- I tween Newberry and Columbia. We understand that Mr. Langford is not doing any work on the Spring Hill road. If. however, he will build a good road via Irmo and Chapin toC 'the Newberry 'line at Little Mountain, the distance between Newberry and1 Columbia will not be materially in creased and that road may be used.
