Considerable interest is being arous ed in the sale of the Hatton prorperty right near the square. oYu can not go wrong in putting money into land. but the kind of investmnent that piles on big profits is in buying property close to the square in any good town. You see the time soon conmes when the lots are all taken and then you can squeeze the purchaser. This~ prop erty is to be sold at auction at an early date, one-fifth cash and balance on lng time. LET LOVERS LOVE TO THEIR HEART'S FULL d 'HA-TAUQUA WEEK IN NEWBER- t1 RY TO BE GREAT EVENT. d Il the People to Unite in Making This s Greatest Occasion in Newberry's g History. b 0 Nature and man have always robell- p ,d at the idea of monotony. It is not r ny purpose to invoke the Muses to C ielp -me show how the snow-capped o nountains ozk lon' ninowsa ;tretch of fertile or barren plains. But y just as certainly a,s nature haF an in rmite variety of contrasts. so do--, the life of man and communities of men long for the ordinary affairs of life .o be broken up with special cases of ntelligent and social cccasion3. Na ional confidence and patriotism, in tellectual and social development have lollowed in the wake of such occa ions properly planned and properly! arried out. The triumphal festivities of ancient Rome; the May parties of Queen Elizabeth's time; and the Fourth of July celebrations in this ,ountry have had significant effects t upon the civilizations of these coun- i tries. A Progressive City. t No city today dares to claim the right to be called a progressive city that goes on year after year, and from ne census period to another without I I affording its citizens some special oc- a .asions to break the monotony of or- 1 linary city life. Speaking locally, c 3partan.burg for a long time enjoyed t a monopoly of the music festival en terprise, but soon Greenville and Co- t umbia whetted their ambitions along! this line, and have put up such a 3 ,ompetition that the city of Spa rtar )urg is now petitioning Columbia to t move her mu-sic festival back earlier n the year; and out of the way of tl-; Spartanburg enterprise. Seizing Opportunity. t If it is true that the man who makes t opportunities and then seizes them is t the man who makes the most progress 1 in any line of business-it is equally ! true that the community of men who, crking together, make large oppor- i unities for their communities or town, i and th'eir seize them, is the town that i iurprises Uncle Sam when the census ime comes round. Some Things Newberry Has. 'Newberry is not lately converted to these views, but this town was de troyed by fire a few years ago, and our peopl.e have been very busily (quietly, too) engaged in building up a new city. Today we have a townt we are not ashamed of. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are invested in ~ public improv'ements such as pave cent of ,streets, pure artesian water, ire protection, electric lights, hand some school buildings, new court ouse, one beautiful park, and another one assured. This splendid city is in almost the very centre of the Pied- I mont section of South Carolina. It bas nine mails coming into the city 6 laily with ten pasetnger trains pass- 1 Ing through, and all stopping at the I union ~stion. Four hundred thous- a and dollars are invested in banking~ t and in real estate, two million dollars al in cotton mills, and one of the lead- 1 Lg colleges of the State. A large t wholesale an.d retail business is car- 3 ied on, and her streets on Saturdays C remind one of a cir.cus day in some I nearby towns. The Chautauqua. It is becoming more and more pos ible to unite our people on any busi ness proposition looking toward a greater Newberry. One of the latest enterprises that has attracted such. unanimous and enthusiastic support is i the Chautauqua that has been recent ly arranged for. Such nota'ble men as William J. Bryan and Hon. Richmond P. Hobson, the hero of the Spanish American war, are among the attrac ions. This Chautauqua week, coming about the middle of June is calculated I r to stir up more interest than any similar enterprise that has ever oc urred in this part of the State. The whole affair is a gigantic and magni fcent undertaking. All the ten per Eormances are grand. The Alkahest band and orchestra of Atlanta will be aere for a. whole week. The DeKoven Male Quartette will also be here for >ne week. Dr. Henry Clark, a magne- C tic speaker of Chicago, will be the platform manager and will also de liver one of his numerous popular lectures. Magicians, cartoonists, and impersonators of national reputationst will be on the program. "Great Nebraskan." We can not be indifferent to the honor and courtesy we shall want to show the "Great Nebraskan;"*. for h' 1 has always been a friend to the : South. since, as a mere youth of 36 a year's he spell-bound with his elo quence the Democratic sages who, were sitting in convention in the city r of Chicago in 1896, and from the rear end of a railroad train, with the wealth I oftento rae gis i,h nr na nonnn arrevan mind him. he ,ceived more popular votes inan Mc inley, and came marveiously close ,pturing th white house. Few of ur great n, have ever been presi ents, and Bryan's greatness more ian anything else has defeated him uring his three campaigns against predatory wealth." Roos-v,lt and in irgent Republicans are now just be inning to find themselves in the path lazed by Bryan in his two campaigns f l9') and 1906. He is the greatest oliteDi student and philosopher of [ghteo:,unes in public life that this ent. h,l produced. He has grown! Id in the public gaze, and no blemish ns- his private or public life has et been found. Hobson, Too. 1obson. too, is a great man, and iany people are already beginning to e in this youth who unselfishly per led all and risked his life in mid cean for the Stars and Stripes, more ban ordinary ability. H:i w,vs of a reat conflict in the future between ais country and Japan are gaining rovund anong some of the best stu ents of international questions. Grandest and Best Week. Newberry has never had an under 3.king quite as large and which means uite so much to the town and com iunity, and the thing for us to do is a unite, and make this Chautauqua reek the granlest and best week we ave ever had. The Newberry cham er of commerce has asked our eople to observe q home coming w t the same time. Every woman's club a the city is going to be asked to ooperate in making this the happiest ime in the entire history of this city. I Ve want the carnival' spirit with all be coarser and less refined and less efining influences eliminated. If ou want your friend to ,enjoy a visit D you and to be pleased with your own to visit you during Chautauqua reek. Every Number Good. The entertainments that are going D be afforded are the most expensive hat have ever been brought throughi his section, and those who think that ryan and Hobson are the only star! ttractions are going to be pleasantly urprised. Every number is going to e good, and all our people and our riends should make a sacrifice, i.fI ecessary, to take in the e,ntire week) f festivities. Practice Reciprocity. Newberry people have poured into ~olumbia to see 'Ben' Hur,'- and now greater than "Ben Hur" is going to e here, will Columnbians (h;ood Demo rats that they are) practice their ath in reciprocity? Our people b.cve ,lways given Spartanburg a good dele ation to the music festival and now, ill t'he people of this beautiful city raverse the short distance between hm and the good things of Chautau ua week in. Newberry? Public Spirit Only Xotive. Public spirit is the only prompting, ative behind the Chautauqua enter-I rise. It is not the desire of the or anization to make money out of the ndertaking. We want to show our riends what a beautiful city we have: nd we want you to feast on the good hings we are going to furnish for you. une is a happy month, and Newber 'y is going to 'be at .her best, and all er people bent on making everybody vithin her gates forget their business ares and to let lovers love to their) eartB full. Meeting City CounciL. . The regular meeting of city coun i1 was held o~n Tuesday evening. The 2ayor 'and all members we're presen.t.

At Meetng of the Bar Association It Was Decided Not to Hold Coni mon Pleas Court At r e nting of the bar association held on yesterday, it was decided not 1 to have any common pleas court next week. Resolutions to that effect were adopted by the bar association and, copies sent to Chief Justice Ira B. Jones and Judge R. W. Memminger. Clerk of Court Goggans also pub lishes a notice in the papers today to the jurors that the court has been called off and they will not be expect-4 ed to attend. Th.e following are the resolutions adopted by the bar assocation: Whereas, the statute and the roster fixing the court for this circuit are, such the the members of the bar were. in doubt as to whetiher a judge would be available for the May term of com mon pleas court at Newberry, and Whereas, owing to the 1meertainty and to the general impression among; the members of the bar until this day, May 4th, that no court would be held, they have not summoned witnesses and made preparation for the trial of cases, Resolved, that the chief justice and Hon. R. W. Memminger, who has been assigned to hold the court, be respect filly requested to notify the clerk of court that t11 May term of common co--rt for Newberry will not be held. Church of tle Redeemer. (Revi Edw. Fulenwider, pastor.) Nothing preventing the following will be the program of divine services at the Lutheran Church of the Re deener next Sunday: 11 a. m. The morning service. The pastor will preach on the subject: "Sonship and Service." Text: "Son, go work today in my vineyard... He answered and said, I will not: but af terward he repented and went. And he came to the second and said like wise. Afid he answered. and said, I go, sir: and went not." Matt. 21:18-30. Sonship carries with it the great obligation of service. This fact is in danger of being neglected today whben there are so maniy things to occupy ou~r time. Many Christians today are answering the call with a loud-spoken and apparently hopeful, "I go, sir." But they never "go." In sincere confession of God is one of the greatest dangers confronting us today. Many practical lessons will be presented. 8 p. m. There will be a praise ser vice. At this service the pastor will begin a sories of sermons on "Christ's Revelation of Character,"' as follows: (1). "Two builders: the man hose house stod and the mnan whose house fell." (2). "Two rich men: the man who was rich here and the man who was rich hereafter." (3)..- "Two wor shippers: the man whose prayer was heard and the man whose prayer was not heard.," (4). "Two estimates: man's estimate of Christ and Christ's estimate of -man." (5). "Two thieves: the man whom Christ helped and the man for whom there was no help." (6). "Two debtors: the man that was forgiven much and the man that was forgiven little." These sermons will deal with practical every day life. There is good music at all the ser vices. The public is cordially invited. Sunday Last Marriage. At the 'residence of the bride's moth er and step-father, 'Mrs. and Mr. J.
