Abbeville and almost i . I sic every other progressive town of the j, j b:>] size of Newberry has a live chamber j t i pe. of cemmerce or other business organization. . Abbeville and Lancaster have but . recently organized. The business men of these communities realized that if their communities were to keep pace 0.Q. with other towns in the State, it was absolutely necessary that they' get ^ busy. er TLie point we desire to make in call- an ing attention to this matter is that. th( Newberry should wake up and the live i ed business men of this community form j some sort of business organization !

We j 0f hope that it will result in our busii.ess men getting together and forming such an organization. It should ^ be Yoluntarv. It should be enthusiasatc tic. Xo live man in Newberry should did wak to be urged or even invited to sa> take part in such an organization. It would be as much for his interest as . ins for the interest of any other indivi- ?

J . _ j rol THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. i me After a session which went about j ha1 two weeks beyond the customary 40 ^ days, the general assembly adjourned ag; sine die shortly after midnight on t|ie Thursday night. It was a session in jV. which a great deal of interest was cen- ^ tred, and in which there were some incidents which were very much out of 4 the ordinary, but very little was done j eye except the passage of a great mass of sor local legislation. Several meritorious wit measures died upon the calendars. ?le By the action of the senate and the j governor 'the extraordinary large appropriation bill was held down con- ^ siderably. . | me We have no doubt that all departments of the government, as well as j most of the people of the State, are Cisi glad that the session is over?though .he people of South Carolina seem to gk like political excitement. ! me There will be a State campaign be- tjV( fore another session, and the records per which have been made will no doubt ^eibe fully placed before the people of j pei every county in the State. The Herald and News has given full t? reports of the entire session. scj] ' wit THINK OS THIS. ] get It would not be a great deal of! tha trouble and expense for every farmer j 0f f a r\nt o conrl-^loir cnrfo^?a An tho moiii ' a, wcij uu ?? ! di(j road running: through his premises. It j should be a matter of pride for prop- I l^e orty owners to have the roads in front jln ot their houses "properly graded and j en: surfaced. Certainly it would increase Sev a man's own s^lf-respect while com- ma manding the respect and commenda- , . :ri( tion of otaers. The sand-clay road and the split-log drag is a combination that can not be beat. The two go to- j 30 gether and should be inseparable.?! sch Laurens Advertiser. ! prc This is worth serious thought. If we could just get the people to think 1 and to think broadly and beyond their noi own little selves we could have the j the ideal life. How easy it would be for j do every property owner, at leas' to co-1 gen operate, in the maintenance of the hoi road through his place.

The action of tiie house in sustair ; the governor's vero of tlie prov in in the appropriation bill for til rrowing of money to pay current e> uses, etc., has caused considerabl *eulation. There is a general pre ion in the code for the borrowin this money, and whether or lie s will cover the matter is the queh n which is being discussed. Th verncr asked the general assembl relieve him of acting with the comr >ller general and the State treasui in the borrowing of this mone: d when this was not done, he vetoe } section, ana tne veio was sustain by the house. Whatever the decision in the dir ssion. we have no idea the variou partments of the State will be a] ^ed by their respective heads to sul , but the whole matter emphasize : fact that the Srate should be pu Dn a cash basis. And it is the dut; the legislature to do this. rhe Columbia correspondent oi *h ws and Courier announces that Sen >r John L.

Jost of the members of the genera lembly?at least, a great many o m?have been "mentioned'' fo itenant governor. ^here are numerous candidates fo other State offices. ind in the coming senatorial race tv r\av nr two thp "nrohahilitv'' o tie other candidate being in the rac h Senator Smith and Governo ;ase is stated. t begins to look as if the people o State will have a long list of can ares to chcose from in this sum r's primaries. 'here has been considerable criti [ii by some of the newspapers o s State of the action of Governo ;ase in* personally delivering i ssage to the house of representa ?s. some 01 tnese same newspap s have heartily commended Presi it Wilson for saying to congress ii son what he had to say. Anderson county has 26 rural gradei looIs with two teachers and som :h more than two. These school State aid to the amount of mor n $6,000. Newberry has only si: these schools, and until last yea not have any. in fact this year i first year the schoo's have beei actual operation. These six ar itled to $1,200 State aid. There ar eral more districts that should b de rural graded schools. Any dis 2t that has an enrollment of 5 ldren and an average attendance o should be made a rural gradei tool and have two teachers. Th cess is easy. ^he legislature sustained the gover * in n orost msmv /if hie VPtrvPc fi appropriation bill. Some of thes seem a little strange, not that th rernor is sustained, but that th lse. for instance, would pass with : objection an appropriation o ?.000 for the maintenance of th m fit State Park and then agree t reduction to $7.."00 by the senat 3 finally endorse t'ae action of :h remor in cutting the "whole thin; . The strange :hing is that th : o would pass the entire ?1->,00 aout prote^f and then finally en r:l;ing the whole business out - farm will need something to ru; but Sl.'.OOO did seem a Tit* 1^ extrav rat to run a fifteen horse firm. 0 .rse it will take a great deal mo"< il j to run a farm like this one Than it does ' ?? e 1 to run a private farm.
