Holds Annual Meeting-Officers Elect ed--Looking to the Employment of a Paid Secretary. The annual meeting of the New berry chamber of commerce was held in the rooms of the chamber of corn merce on Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. There were about-25 or 30 of the mem bers present. President I. H. Hunt presided, and Mr. Jno. B. Mayes, sec retary, acted as secretary. The first business taken up was the report of the committee appointed a year ago to prepare a constitution for the chamber- of commerce, which re port was submitted by Mr. E. H. Aull. The report was considered by items and adopted and is printed in another column of this paper. The main business of the meeting was to elect officers. President Hunt submitted his annual report which contained a number of very valuable suggestions and recommendations, all of which ought to have the considera tion not only of the members of the chamber of commerce, but of the citiz ens of the community generally. This report is printed elsewhere. Mr. John B. Mayes, as secretary and treasurer, submitted a report cov ering the receipts and disbursements of the organization. His report was in two sections. The first covered re ceipts and disbursements from March 1, 1910, to December 31, 1910, during the time that Mr. S. S. Cunningham was secretary and treasurer. This re port showed that the treasu.rer had received $1,222.72, and had paid out $1,230.38. According to these figures the chamber of commerce is due the retiring secretary $7.66. The recipts from January 1, 1911, to March 21, 1911, amounted to $221.25, and the disbursements $202.38. This part of the report shows cash on hand $18.87. The report also showed that the out going administration had paid $530.01 of old debts, and had put $74.90 into matting and improvements on the roomzs. It also1 showed that the in debtedness of the chamber of com merce at the time report was made! amounted to $352.25, and as against this~ there were amounts due the chamber of commerce of $104.95, leav Ing the total net liability of $247.30.! The report was received as informa tion. On motion of Mr. L. W. Jones, a committee of five was appointed to recommend new officers for the ensu ig year. The committee was comn psed of L. W. Jones, C. D. Weeks, T.~ P. Johnson, W. H. Shelley and S. M. Duncan. The committee recommend ed first Jno.3B. Mayes, p.resider' ; Jno. M. Kinard, first vice-president; Rot. Norris, second vice-president, and the following board: I. H. HunL, C. T. Sum.mer, W. G. Mayes, J. P. Shealy, 0. B. Mayer and W.i A. Me Swain. . It was, stated that Mr. McSwain? was not a member o6f the organiza tion, and the committee retii'd to place some one else on the boar6. On their return they named Van Smith. He was not a member, and, therefore, could not be elected. Mr. S. M T'air. can was named from the floor as the other member of the board. Mr. Jno. M. Kinard then declined the nomination for vice-president,; and Dr. C. D. Weeks was nominated. With these changes the officers were unani mously elected. Mr. Jno. M. Kinard stated that it was very important to have a live dommercial -body, and he was satis led that the only plan by which such n organization could be kept alive! was the employment of a reguIar paid secretary who should devote htis en tire time to the work of the chamber )f commerce. Mr. Kin-ard suggested that the only way the money for this purpose could be raised was by the torporations, and the banks and the larger merchants putting up an extra a,mount (beyond their regular dues, and that speaking for the bank over which he presided that he would be willing to be one of the number to give $25.00 a year in addition to the regular dues so that the proposition of the paid secretary could be tried, and if it did not prove successful and beneficial it could be discountinued af ter the first year. Mr. Geo. S. Mower agreed with Mr. Kinard that a paid; secretary was necessary. Several other remarks were madeI and on motion, it was decided to re call the organization together on next: Tuesday night to discuss .the situation, and to see what could be done toward raising the necessary fund to employ a regularly paid secretary. The chamn her of commerce then adjourried.

Supervisor to Make Return in Matter of County Jail-Urged Delega. tion to Provide Funds. Upon the presentment of the grand jury in regard to the condition of the county jail, Solicitor Cooper request ed the court that the supervisor be notified to appear in court during this term and to show cause .why he has not carried out the recommendations of the grand jury at previous terms of the court in regard to this matter. The court stated that the motion would be granted, and the supervisor will be required to make a showing, the general orders at the last term, which the clerk of court stated he served upon the supervisor, requiring him to show cause why the reco:n mendations were not carried into ef fect. It will be recalled that during the last session of the general assembly the supervisor, the sheriff and the act ing county physician wrote letters to the Newberry delegation urging them to provide a fund for this purpose. The supervisor at that time said he was powerless to do anything on ac cou-nt of lack of funds, and the de plorable condition of the jail, both from the standpoint of security and the standpoint of sanitation, was urg ed in the strongest terms. The Supervisor's Return. Supervisor Feagle was called into court - on Tiursday afternoon. After conferring with .the solicitor, .Solicitor Coeper made' the following statement: "The supervisor in.forms me that he has not yet prepared a formal re turn, but will do so. He says under the law that all taxes levied in New berry county are required to be ex pended only for the purposes for which they are raised, and he has asked for an appropriation to repair the jail and has not got it. He says he is anxious to do it, but has abso lutely no funds with whicdi to do it. I think that would be a sufficient re turn." "Very good," said the court, ". e has no right to violate the law, of course." MOVING PICTURE SHOW. Special Program This Afternoon and Evening-Free Tickets for the School Children. There is a special program at the moving picture show in the old court house this. afternoon at 3.30 and 7.30 o'clock. The scene to be presented is that of the most highly educa'ted dcg living.

For example, we see here some f the steps by wthich a very unpromf s!ng' subject was brought into the Kingdom of God-Zacchaeus was a ubican.

It is made plain' in God's word that our salvation will depend upon how we hear and answer the call. In the face of present affairs, I think it would b" well for us to pause, and ask oursel ves the question: "Where are we ?" Ihere will be good music at bo0th ser vices.

Mr. E. H. Aull, chairman of the cen tral committee, appointed at a meet ing held in Newberry on the 10th of this month to discuss plans and pro vide ways and means to build the Greenville-Newberry-Colunibia road, has called a meeting of this commit- J tee to be held in Columbia Friday af ternoon, March 24, at the rooms of the chamber of commerce at 6 o'"ock. Mr. W. G. Sirrine, the member of < the committee from Greenville, will come to Newberry and join the party at this point. The representative from Laurens will bring the supervisor, Mr. H. B. Humbert, and will either come in a car from Laurens, or will come to Newberry and join the party. The committees from Clinton, Kinards and Goldville will attend also.. The rep resentatives from Prosperity and Lit tle Mountain and Chapin and Spring Hill have also agreed to attend this meeting, and it is hoped that the l member from Lexington and Super visor Langford of that county, will also come to Columbia. The idea is to go to Columbia over the dirt road in automobiles so that the committee may see the condition of the road and form some idea of what will be necessary to put it in good condition. It is expected to leave Newberry at 10 o'clock so as to make the trip leis urely and give time to inspect the road. The meeting will 'be held by invita tion of Secretary Hamby in the rooms of 'the chamber of commerce in Co lumbia at 6 o'clock and it is hoped . to -have a committee from the Auto mobile association of Columbia to meet with this central committee. Supervisor Feagle, of Newberry, has consented to go to the meting. . The committee is composed of the following: E. H. Aull, chairman;' W. G. Sirrine, Greenville; H. K. Aiken, Laurens; W. M. McMillan, Clinton; Geo. Browning, Goldville; J. A. Dom inick, Kinards; I. H. Hunt, Newberry; Geo. Y. Hunter, Prosperity; W. A. 3 Counts, Little Mountain; C, P, Robin son, Chiapin; 3. W. Eargie, Spring Hill; 3. B. Wingard, Lexington; A.. McP. Hamby, Columbia. Of course, if it should rain, or the weather be bad on Friday, the only .way to attend the meeting would be by rail. If the trip can be miade through the country, it is the pur pose of the committee to return via~ Lexington and the new steel bridge to Chapin. This seems to be a much bet-H ter road, and it is understood that the Lxntn supervisor is now puttin;g Ltingfin condition. The distance by thi radfrom NewDerry to Colum bia is only about 3 1-2 miles further' than by the Spring Hill route. * . * * . * * * * * . * SOCIAL.* * * * *.* * * * 9 * 0* The Fortnightly club met 'with Mrs. W.
