The Herald and News lias from time to time spoken of certain improvements that were needed and : that should be made at the opera | house. A nice and modern and up to date opera house, like a modern j and up to date hotel, is worth a whole lot. to any community. wnen me \"ew berry opera house was built it was up to date, "but there have been many changes in 30 years. The Newberry opera house was built a little more than 30 years ago, and at that time it was as good as any building of' its kind in the State. There was never sufficient arrangement for emptying the building in ^ase of fire or panic of any kind. The Herald and News has called attention :o this many times. Fortunately there las been no fire or panic to test the ibility of getting a large crowd out j Vvnil^Trvnr TXrlfrS T> S~\ c? Ck T* 1 /~V 11 CJ TO? j JL LI1C UUllUlllg, ITIU.1 nu IUU.J 4 Vsuits, but if anything ever should oc:ur it would be found impossible to ;et the people out without serious oss of life. Some years ago a sepa-ate exit for the gallery'was built, .vhich helped very much. There are some other improvements A-hich should be made and could be nade with very little expense and it tvould add greatly to the comfort and ionvenience and looks of the building. Mr. Wells, the lessee has offered to nake some of tf.ie improvements and 3ay for the work, of course, to be reimbursed out of the rent of the buildng. He should be encouraged in his efforts to give the peoi>ie of the town i high class of entertainment, and in :rder to do this to the best advantage :he opera house should be modern md up to date in its appointments. Jhere has been some talk of put:ing/the auditorium on the ground ioor and moving the offices and poice court room up stairs. 'That would ! be a great improvement, and tllien | :here would be no danger about ar- j -anging to empty the house in case of j ire or panic from other cause. That | would also permit the building of a j " 1 1 " ~ 1 ?r? nri t-\ or 4- V* i SUliaDie SlcigK W1LUUUL ^uaugiug CUV 'oof. It would have many other advantages and would be a great thing if the city could see its way clear to nake this change. Of course this vould cost a considerable sum, but ive would then have a modern and up ;o date auditorium. If" this is not done the floor in "Oile present auditorium could be changed >o that the deess circle would be on :he same level with the pit and in Uiis j svay the people could get in and out | with a great deal more ease and comfort. This change could be made ft'ith very little cost and would add ! neatly to the comfort of the building; md also mate it easier to get out of :be building. Have the entire floor )f the auditorium on the same level. Another thing that could and should De done and would cost a very small amount, and that is, there should be i heating plant put in for the entire building, and the old stoves mat mar :he looks of the auditorium should be :aken out. The smoke from them is uncomfortable and then they do not! ?ive the proper heat and besides they 3o net look well, and the entire building could -be heated at less cost. Then the stage needs changing for :he reason that we cannot get some if the best attractions in Newberry bocause we cann'ot properfly stage :hem. Let Newberry wake up and have >ne of the best opera houses in the 3tate as she had when the present jne was built. The manager should J je encouraged to give tlhe people of i ;he-community a high class of enter-J :ainment. He has spent considerable J limself in maKing some improvemeuu> ;o the auditorium. He is now operat- J rig a high class vaudeville in connec- j Jon with a moving picture show, but j :he building should be made up to date ' jo that we might have any of the best' attractions that come South.

The Foundation Library, a very' valuable set of 11 volumes, primarily j tor young people, has been aanea to ; :herlibrary in the past week; also the. ?ets of books that have been much in j iemand by subscribers?the complete I ;vorks of Irving and of Kipling, nice- j ly bound, first class paper and large ( jrint.

B.O'Xeall Holloway of New- berry and will bring to her work energy and enthusiasm as well as a well trained mind and several years experience in teaching. During this year she has been teaching at Bishopville. - In speaking of her promotion to the position' in her home county the Bishopville Vindicator has the following to say of her work and the esteem in wlhich she was held by the people and the children of Bishop- ^ ville: . "Miss Fannie Holloway who has been connected wjth our schools for the past year and a half, has been released by ti'.ie board of trustees in order tftat she may accept the position i of county organizer of tomato olubs for Newberry county. This splendid offer from her home county, without any solicitation on her part, came as a great surprise and is a fine compliinpnt. to her ability. For the past school session, Miss Holloway has had I charge of the first grades, having 50 little tots to look after. In this short time, she has proven iher worth as a primary teacher and hers is a distinct loss to the teaching profession. Miss i Hblloway will be missed in Bishopville wherfe she is universally popular] Those who will miss her most will be the bright little girls and boys who hav?i learned to look to her for everything." Some arrangements should be made to carry on the work of toe Jx>ys corn club ' The county and State need corn raisers as well as tomato raisers and canners. The two should go together and should be among the1 school boys ? % and girls of the county., ciemson nas made the offer to give two boys from each county, who are members of the boys corn club, and who make the best record, cost of production considered, a short course free of all TMe chnnlH hp a crftflt Stim- ! vixai ?? ? o- ? , ulus to tfhe boys corn clubs. 3> <$ * YABIOUS AND AIL ABOUT. <S> <$> ? <e> ' <S> Comments and Clipping by the ?
