All Members Urged to Attend to Hear Reports. The annual meeting of the chamb"'r of commerce will be held tonight in the rooms of the chamber of com merce at 8 o'clock. It is very import ant to the life of the organization that there should be a full attendance of the members to hear the report of the president, and to select officers for the ensuing year. There has been considerable interest In the organiza tion during the past year, and the membership has largely increased, an( the management has been able mate rially to reduce the indebtedness and the new officers will be permitted to start out in the new year in very good shape. One of the most important things which an organization of this kind needs and must have to accomplish the best results, is a live active secre tary, who can devote all of his time to the organization. With the co peration of the business men of the community, it will be possible now to employ such a secretary. It is the history of all communities the size of Newberry that an active commercial organization is necessary for the up building of the community. There is at present a membership of more than 150, and if this membership could be enlisted in active support and co-operation, a great deal could be ac complished for the advancement of the community. The Herald and News has always given enterprises of this character, its hearty support, and will continue to do so in the future. S,ometimes it is discouraging to the officers of the or ganization to find that they are not re ceiving the hearty support even of the membership, and there will always be found in any community those who do not identify themselves with uch an organization and who do not hesitate to criticize the organization. It is useless, therefore, to expect in Iny community every citizen to give his hearty co-operation to those things which are meant for the betterment if the community, and however un selfish the officers of such an organ ization may devote of their time and noney to the u.pbuilding of the com nunity, they may. expect such critic ism. The thing for (the organ:iza ion to do is to push forward regard tess of criticisms and to do the best t can. It would be encouraging to the of Ccers who are to be chosen tonight to aave present at this meeting a lage percentage of the membership. -Next Lyceum Attraction. The Eureka Glee club, the fifth 2umber of the, lyecum course, will be it Holland hall March 24. This club has been a professional rganization for 11 years, and their ong experience insures a good enter ainment. Their repertoire consists f classical selections, both sacred tnid secular, folk, sentimental, planta ion and humorous. This Glee club carries the largest set of musical chimes of any organ Ezation of the kind. The beautiful bone and large. range of these chimes mable them to render the very best selections most effectively. A sleading paper of Columbus, Ohio, says: "The Eureka Glee club can sing, ing in a way to make one forget there s any such thing as trouble in the world. We have heard. them more~ han once, and would like to hear hem a 'hundred times more. Their nusic is high grade, and they never ail to captivate their audience." Those who enjoy good male quar ette work will certainly enjoy the jurekas. FARMERS UNION. il Hold Quarterly Meeting on April 1--Prof. D. N. Barrow Will Con duct a Corn Judge Schooi.

Counts, J. E. Pugh. It is known as the T. B. Hawkins line. The subscribers of the lines are now in constant communication with each other and through the Southern Bell exchange with the telephone users in Prosperity and Newberry. The con struotion of these lines and connec tion with the telephone exchange here Is another step in the progress of the telephone development which is being made by the residents in the rural sections of Newberry and ad joining counties. Under the plan of the Southern Bell Telephone and Tele graph company, farmnens and other 'rural dwellers are enabled to secure telephone service on an economical basis. As a result farmers in all sec tions of the State are installing tele phones in their homes. Haymakers Elect Officers.

Great Sachem Otto Klettner Awards Prize to Catawba Tribe Won for Securing Most Members. For 21 years Bergell tribe has had the distinguished honor of being th., banner tribe of South Carolina, but at last it has been won from them by the Indians who erct their teepees on the banks of the Pacclet river. On March 16, 1911, Great Sachem Otto Klettner presented to Catawba tribe, No. 12, at Trough, S. C., the banner that they had won in the con test of securing the most new mem bers by adoption or reinstatement during the last six months of the year 1910. A joint meeting of the Pocahontas and Red Men was called to order by the sachem of Catawba tribe at 8 o'clock p. m. in the Red Men's hall. The great sachem was announced, and then escorted by Great Junior Sagamore James G. Long, Great Mes ewahna Cannon G. Blease, Great Sannap Porte Ollie 0. Smith, and D. G. Sachem W. D. Wheat, into the council chamber. The great sachem presented Broth er S. S. Tiner, the one who was suc cessful in winning the individual prize, with a handsome gold watch charm, the emblem of the order. Erother S. S. Tiner has been very in strumental in the building up of the tribe for years. The great sachem, in most appro priate - words for the occasion, pre sented to Catawba tribe, No. 12, the banner. It was made by hand and all the features were so naturally in laid that it would be impossible, at a distance, to detect it from the paint ing of an artist. An address of acceptance was made by Brother J. W. McGraw, after which addresses for the good of the order were maade by Brothers James W. Long, great junior sagamore; Cannon G. Bleasy,, great misihewahna, (and others, after which we were dismissd by Brother J. W. McGraw. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SOCIAL. * * ' 4 * * * * * * * * * * *1 Little Elizabeth McFall celebrated her fourth birthday with a lovely par ty Friday afternoon.

Soon after their arrivale Margaret Kinard and Leland Summer, Jr., for their skill in finding the greatest num ber were given hares filled with can dy. Master Murray McIntosh also re - ceived a horn for his skill in making a noise that most resembled our new fire alarm. After playing games the children were invited into the din.ing room, where ref-reshlments were serv ed them. The decorations were all in green and white, and the table looked very attractive with its beautiful flow ers, dainty appointments and the birthday cake with its four burning* candles. The cake was cut and yield ed -its treasures of fortune and destiny and as each girl passed from the room,, she was given a little silver purse and each boy a top as souv enir of the afternoon.

Want Large Tracts for Sub-Division Commercial Fruit and Nut Orchards. Mr. Jno. B. Mayes, secretary of the chamber of commerce, has received a letter from Cieveland, Ohio, inquiring about large tracts of land suitable tol subdivide into smaller farms. The Herald and News presents this letter so that the real estate men of the city may take hold of the matter and possibly secure some desirable citiz ens who will become owners of small farms. There is no reason why fruit could not be grown in this section to advan tage and benefit. The following is the letter: Cleveland, Ohio, March 16, 1911. Dear Sir: We want to buy large tracts of land suitable for subdividing into small farms and tracts suitable for commercial fruit and nut orchards and are taking the liberty of asking you to put us in touch with owners and agents for such properties. We enclose a slip which gives. an idea of the nature of the information we would like to have regarding prop erties. Thanking you in advanc, for any favors that you may be at.e to grant us in this matter, we are, Very truly yours, English-American Syndicate. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NEWBERRY COLLEGE. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Last Friday night the literary so ieties of the college had their annual debate in the opera house. The ones taking part in the exercises were W. G. Cobb, president; A. N. Kieffer, Jr., orator for the Excelsiors, subject, "The Nations Inhumanity'" H. S. Pe trea, orator for the Phrenakosiians, subject, "American Extraiagance a Crime;" Miss Josie Paysinger, essay ist for the Philamathians. The debate between the Excelsior a.nd the Phrenakosmian acciaties rep-] resentatives was the feature of the evening that held most interest for those in attendance. The query was,. "Resolved, That corpod~io-te carrying on interstate commerce be required to secure federal chairters." The rep-] resentatives frobm the Phrenakosmnian society, G. E. Finck, captain; G. H. Hipp and M. E. Roberts; on the affir mation side, Chas. P. Barre, captain; C. H. Kreps and N. B. Hendrix, from the Excelsior society on the negative~ side of the question are all able deba ters and the audience heard a debate that was to say the least as good as any ever heard at Newberry college. The judges were: Geo. S. Mower, - Arthur Kibler, John M. Kinard, -Rev. 4 J. E. Jamnes, of Neiwberry, and 3. J. McSwain, of Greenville. The judges retired for a few minutes and return ed with a message that the Excelsiors were confident?y expecting. 'This is the second time in succession that the Excelsiors have won out, having won last year on- the affirmative sid" of the question, "Resolved, That the jury system should be abolished." The Newberry college baseball team [ia returned from their first trip or the season wit two scalps hangini at their belts. The Friday's game was characteristic of the games that have beretfore beep played with the CQI ege of Charleston in that it was nic - and clean throughout, with plenty of mnap. The Citadel game was a good zontest with the exception of the last few innings 'which were ragged. After winning these two games the boys were given a smoker by the students >f Newberry, who are attending the medical college in Charleston. At :he smoker the medical boys who were not students of Newberry, aissurec :he boys that these two gamnes were riot the only things that they had won, but they had won a place in the nemory of the medical students. B3 ;ides the Newberry team and her sup >orters there were present quite a iumber of other meds, and toasts were made by almost all of them to be success of the 1911 team of New >erry college. It is certain that if the >oys could look forward to such treat nent as they received Saturday nigh' be pennant would be2 assured for this rear, and Coach Johnson would bring is boys off victorious in all of the ames of the season. Among those in tten dance at the smoker we.re Pete - stone, Hugh Senn, Thad Houck, Pete I VIills, A. L. Black and Capas Holnman, ormnerly of Newberry college, and Workman, of Furman, with Egerton, - f Davidson. two college men with no ( nean athletic ability, who had nioth ng but praises for the boys. It is very likely that another game vill be arranged for Tuesday or Wed 1esday on the home diamond with red Cavender's biiuch of Commis-. ion ers.
