As An Industrial Ceutro. tage
Newberry has made rapid strides deed

'a house with a seating capacity

e children, compare with any to
Dund in the State. Of the churches

The new postoffice building, now in
course of construction, will be one of
1 the handsomest in the country for a
! city the size of Newberry. It will be
' completed during the present year and
will add much to the attractiveness of
, the city.
As a Cotton Market

better selling opportunities, for buy

the export markets try hourly tele- i
graph advices throughout the day and i
where this advantage prevails the sel- 1
ler is thoroughly protected. During i
Main Street, L
the present season to date some twen- <
ty-five thousand bales have been sold on
the streets of Newberry, and the j
prices obtained have compared fa- <
vorably with those obtained on other (
markets. But even this number of i
bales is not sufficient to supply the mills
in Newberry, one of which has
a capacity of eighteen thousand bales '
annually. As a cotton market Newberry
comparies with any town in the '
' State or in the entire South.
As a Trade Centre.

combining this advantage with a thor

Conclusion.
In this Trade and Industrial edition
rhe Herald and News has endeavored
;o review the present and future advantages
of Newberry, and it wishes
igain to emphasize the fact that there
ire opportunities here awaiting the .
nanufacturer and the investor in all
lines. The people are warm hearted
md will gladly welcome all lawabiding
strangers who' may see fit to drop
in on us. ? \
The above recital is the brief story
of what is one of the oldest towns in
the State. And yet the greatest de
velopment is to come, for the surface
Dnly has been scratched, for nothing
this side of a providential visitation
can check its progress up to the point
where it will be one of the leading iniustrial
centres of the New South.
Following will be found sketches of
dewberry's reliable and representative
enterprises, of their owners, their
methods and excellent stock equipment,
and of progressive individuals.
\"o desire has been entertained to
Dverdraw or exaggerate in the prep
oration of these articles, but on the
Dther hand credit, where credit is due,
has been freely and ungrudingly given.
