A Strong- Cost of Characters and an Interesting and Entertaining Program. The Newberry Chautauqua assembly will open Sunday evening, .luae 23, and continue through Friday, June 28. Tickets to the ent.ir-3 attraction are Awl.. 4-'V?/^nllo-ro IAJLllJ IU1CC UViitti o. The Attractions Are A if"Good. Every indication points to but one fact, and that is that our June assembly is going to be the best ever "brought to South Carolina. Press nor tices from the largest Western and Northern dailies would have to be untrue if our attractions are not among\ * the best on the Chautauqua platform. | Experiences have shown that the large \ dailies pretty well sum up the ability j of entertainers. Many of our enter- j tainers have been called back fifteen I and sixteen successive years to great. Chautauqua centers. The Chautauqua an Expensive One. There is not a single cheap or min\ -or attraction on the program. They * " ?~ rmnA onfl all r>nmp at a hiffh IillC ait 5VAni auu w ? ? ?w _ | price. There ought not to be a single, dull moment fi&m start to finish. A! complete schedule has been worked out for all the entertainers to reach "us on schedule time, and *wfc are ex Ipecting 110 disappointments. 1 Tickets Are Going Fast. We give fair warning that in order to get choice seats they must be secured at once. We have never attempted any bluff game in this Chau-! "tauqua enterprise. Those who are fa ( miliar with our city opera house will -understand just what the chances are * for remaining seats when it is stated that over six hundred dollars worth of tickets have already been sold. .Expense of Chautauqua Largely Met. We are not appealing to our people to buy tickets in order to keep from j realizing any deficit. We simply want j M tr Af aut* orAHrl VDW- I ^ lOUj , liiilt I?3 Cli5 Llic2.il J* vi uui gwu ?i v it berry people as -are able to do so, join . tlte happy ranks of Chautauqua goers and have the'time of your lives. It is not your money alone that we are af ter. Of course it takes that to make any enterprise go, but infinitely above your money we covet your presence f among the happy throng, and we want to hear your voices mingled in hearty oommendation of all that has been done for this splendid week of pleasure and intellectual edification. ' fXive and Line for One Solid Week in J June. June is a great month. It means new life and richness of fruit in so many different things. We could have ar* ranged for the Chautauqua assembly to have begun almost any time of the ryear, and possibly at any other time J than now with less expense. But who would have it at any other time than just the time selected. Who is so old that he or she can not pick up new life and enthusiasm?yes, and even love?and be young again in this week oif June, so full of the richest and . barest things in Chautauqua treats.; f Who is indifferent to the intellectual and moral and spiritual aspirations as not to be eager to come to the assem? bly for treats along all these lines. 0 And where can there be found young! > lovers who will miss this one opportunity of the year to live and love in such a wide and rich field of pure and wholesome pleasure. Everything under the sun has its place, and June has its Chautauqua. If we do our full I duty to ourselves and to those who t are depending on us, the Newberry t. Chautauqua assembly will be one of the best successes Newberry has ever I appropriated to her credit. Newberry is a Good Town. There is no use trying to believe ijjB otherwise than that Newberry is a ill good town. It has a unique place in the history of South Carolina. It is Ip known and respected far above many gjp other towns of like size and activities. All our attractions of last year fell D r^wply in love with the town and its people. And from distant States came Inquiries as to how we made our ||| Chautauqua such a success. Our en-1 i l.|: tertainers' carried golden reports! of us, and possibly no one effort the town has put forth has done more for the town than her last year's Chautauqua. Some of th? floats were repro * - - , - Oct 'for* aucea in magazine yiv.n. 4i ao i?i | North as Massachusetts. Unselfishness Necessary. Of all the times in the year one's selfishness will be longest remembered if it is allowed to exist, is in this happy June Chautauqua. We may not be told so, but our indifference will produce just that kind of effect. It is a time for a happy word, a pleasant **? -1 ~ ncio cHr> KpI i Ckf in SXXiiiC, dUU au cuwuaiuwbiv/ uv.tvt. -i-the good and the true in life. There was a unanimous demand for the continuance of the Chautauqua last year when the last number had bassed into our brief Chautauqua history. The committee and the guarantors took wni>/1 on/1 withnilt OUT ptruyic HI UICH nwv?, auu irivuvu. any hope or desire for financial gain, but with the possible chance of personal loss, contracted for a better and a fuller program than before. It is up to our people now to begin to talk Chautauqua. It can be put into the morning greeting, into the hand shake, and it can be made to go. We would be caught trying to play or trifle with nothing. A Chautauqua, if worthy of the name, is a big thing. Will we fail, trying to have one. Will other towns watching us tremble and hesitate because we failed, or will they catch a new inspiration for intellectual, spiritual, moral uplift, for all these things are results of Chautauqua endeavor. f?? T.rV.o* w ill ? 11 iu ?|uav way win an ui us guaiau? tors, and chose holding tickets lend our efforts to see to it that when the last evening has came, the 28th of June, and the last attraction has faithfully done the task of pleasing, the general feeling shall be one of extreme satisfaction. Enthusiasm >*ecessarr. Enthusiasm is making the world move forward by leap^ and bounds. The man lacking the power to become enthused lacks in power to inspire. Of course it is possible to be entirely cynical and matter of fact about this whole matter. It is within one's own prerogative to even stay away from all the attractions, and should this spirit possess a sufficient number of people, why, of course, this Chau tauqua would be the last for Newberry, and those guaranteeing the price would be losers, but this kind of people do not predominate in any community, and least of all in Newberry and Newberry county. But what we nnvi'ftnn ohnnf i C tVlo + oil All r aiC ailAlVUO* aWVUW <,**14.1 V4.* - WV%* QWWV. people realize that this week is the crisis, and that now enthusiasm is as necessary as when the attractions are appearing. More tickets are for sale, and what is more, they must be sold if the Chautauqua is to be self-sustaining. Will we rally. Will we speak, 1 21- - ? ^ ^ lin rvrvtr f i YY* A ana snme huu piun iui uus "<1^^ nmc in the dear, love-making month of June? Henry Dean, President Chautauqua Association.

MASY LIVES GIVEN TO FURY OF STORM Twenty-Six Persons Killed by Heavy Wind?Damage in Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., June 16.?Twentysix persons are known to have been killed and many injured by a storm that passed over central and West Missouri last Saturday, demolishing buildings, tearing duwn wires and | leaving the smaller towns and countryhomes completely wrecked. It removed the roof of St. Mary's Catholic church, and bore it away, wrecking two cottages. In this city a number of houses were unroofed. Telegraph and telephone headquar ters report that a number of poles were snapped and that many miles of wire were torn down.

The bodies of Gibson and Fred Groves were found more than a mile from their home where they werte when the storm struck.
