*? * % ' i Imi > t f The >*ewb< THE NEWBERRY HOTEL. C. P. Pelhani, Manager. It is a fact universally recognized and admitted that first-class hotel *ac-' commodations exercise a powerful influence constantly in the direction of the development of the community in I which they flourish and tor that rea- ; son they are placed anions the munici- j pal advantages and features of a city j or town. In the case of the Newberry hotel, under the experienced and efficient management of Mr. C. P. Pelham, the truth of the foregoing statement has been effectively substantiated, for its service has placed Newberry among the strictly first-class hotel towns of South Carolina, and for that matter of the entire South. The Newberry hotel Has been m operation many years and about three years ago was remodeled and enlarged by its owners, who were prompted by motives of purely public spirit, rather than by any consideration of profit, to invest their money in an enterprise which was so ^essential to the welfare of the town and whose presence and operations would directly and indirectly foster and promote conditions that would be an incentive to progress. Accordingly the plans, interior appointments and Arrangements provide for every influence, condition and environment that "would insure the maximum of convenience and the resources of men experienced in hotel construction were drawn upon to-secure this encl. With the completion of the structure, which contains thirty-six guest rooms, it was opened for the reception of the traveling public under Mr. C. P. Pelham, and by his efforts it was rapidly built up that nos'it.inn it has since enioved I of being one of the best conducted hotels in the South. The Newberry hotel is thoroughly modern in every respect, ^id when the words "thoroughly modern" are used in this instance they mean all the conveniences that the skill and experience of the architect, builder, electrician, decorator and house furnisher can suggest or procure that will promote comfort and convenience. Then again the dining room and office service reflect the ihighest ideals of the management to provide generously for the wishes of patrons along lines that reflect and appreciate refining influences and a nice sense of discrimination. The hotel is conveniently situated in the heart of the town and porters meet passengers at all trains. Mr. Pelham, while a young .man, has made good in the hotel business and has been identified with every movement looking to the upbuilding of Newberry, for he is one of that group of men who do things. BROWVS FEED, SALE AM) LIVERY STABLES. riiiv Rrfnvii. ProiinVtnr. v w; ?'* v ?. ?v At the establishment conducted by Guy Brown the general public can always secure the most satisfactory livery accommodations and ,i service that Is both prompt and reliable at reasonable prices. The equipment possessed comprises a large number of 1 * - ^ ^ TrrvVi ^ 1 AC Af oil ^ A XGIISOIC IlUi Stra itiiu \jl an utscriptions, so that for business or pleasure the facilities are such as anticipate all ordinary demands. Mr. Brown gives special attention to the needs of the local public for livery service, and, because of the promptness and reliability of the service rendered, quite a number regularly give these stables their consta/nt prefernce.

The greatest business of the establishment, however, is in the ; sale of horses and mules, the business 1 in this line reaching large figures, for; Mr. Brown buys stock from the lead-j ing markets, and conducts a sale in a j way to win the confidence of the pur-1 chaser, for he never fails to point out j tlfe defects as well as the good quali- 1 ties in the animal. In this way he has: built up a reputation which stands the test of time, for he and his father, the late A. T. Brown, his predecessor in J the business, have been selling horses on this market for 18 years, and unless his methods were honorable in every way he could not have survived long In his stab'.o& he has accommodations for many head of stock a; a always has a large number on hand f om wire*: to ! mak-e a s-Voiion. Mr. Brown sells several carloads 01 horses and mules j annual1/* and has accommodations in \ his stables for nearly one hundred an: mals. Guy Brown was practically rais-! ed in the horse business, haviug suc-i ceeded his father last September. So! that it can truly be said that he! "knows his book" when it comes to I talking horse. He is thoroughly fa-; miliar with the needs of the farmer,; %-? r\/-w V* l-o. n "f O Ti f ! anu L.UC11 liCCUO, V/UU^IUI'I, i aim and desire is to maintain a service | which is always courteous and obliging as well as prompt and reliable. THE THEATO. i Only First-Class Films and Clean Subjects Presented, i Popular sentiment everywhere in-' dorses pleasures and amusements that I are health promoting in their nature, j Hence healthy popular sentiment -indorses the moving picture theatre un- j der proper management, for they of-! fer pasttimes that are clean and refin- j ed and as a consequence flourish in j every community. The foregoing ob-i servation is suggested by the up-to- ' date equipment which is maintained! in the Theato, located in the old court house building and under the man-i ageinent of Mr. D. R. Lavender. The, Theato oj>ened its doors in March, j 1911, and' since that time has been a popular resort, Mr. Lavender presents each night a program which includesj three reels of motion pictures, making a bill which is not surpassed anywhere j at the low price of admission. He conducts his establishment along the! most mora] lines, especially maintain- j ing a resort for ladies and gentlemen 1 where otherwise dull moments can be i delightfully passed away, at the pleasures offered by the splendid features; presented. The first year under Mr.? Lavender's management presaged the) most encouraging outlook for a select' and increasing patronge. This condi-1 tion is highly creditable to the com- j munity, for all over the country mov-j in? picture shows thrive best amidst refined and educational influences. D. R. lavender is a native of Gaffney, s. C., and came here in March of last year to open a picture show. Since his residence here he has taken an j active part in every measure calculai ed to benefit the town, always oiiermg the facilities of his house for the bene- ; it of church or charitable objects. It will be his endeavor always to display j only the very best films, catering espe-, ciallv to ladies and children. This dis-! position to help all worthy causes has J been the means of packing his house j several times each day and night in; the week. wuj Brown. f. ~ ' T" V Y '"fS I. . ' f ftr JA ... % .

Assisted by a force ; of experienced workmen, Mr. White is prepared to undertake all contracts for tin roofing, down spouting and guttering and plumbing and lighting plants and anything else that conies: properly within the province of the' metal work. His skill and knowledge enables him to follow special designsj if so desired, so that he controls con- j ditions to render a satisfactory ser- j vice. He also installs complete sys-j terns of hot-air heating, including the best furnaces 011 the market, and does j repair work of all kinds. Mr. White; has recently taken the agency in New- j berry and Saluda counties for the j White Light Gas Generator. White j Light is the most brilliant of ail arti- j ficial lights and is "nearest to day-; light" for reading, distinguishing col- j ors, and for use where plants are being grown. This light has been rec- ! ommended by leading oculists, as being 1 not alone the best for the eyes, but of j more or less healthful influence, wmte Light is produced by the burning of: the gas generated in the white light: generator. This gas burns with an j intensity which gives from one bur-' ner a stronger l:ght than four of the! best kerosene oil lights or two electric j lights would produce. Mr. White re H i .

Judging dv the character of his equipment Mr. ronrhirts onp of thp Iflrffftst es-1 lablishments in his line in this secion of* South Carolina.
