BOTTLES 86,400 A WEEK The Newberry Coca-Cola Plant, Under the Conductorship of Manage^ L. F. Fischer, in a Most Prosperous Condition. The reporter had a curiosity to see the new automatic bottling machine of the Newberry Coca-Cola Bottling company and accordingly paid a visit to the plant. J The bottles are all first washed in hot water with a solution of caustic soda, then t^ushed and carried on a conveyor to receive a rinsing of four streams of clear water, whence they travel to the automatic bottling machine, wlnVVi rmts thp Kvrirn and water into ?? r *** " " / x- ? ? the bottles, crowning them at the same time; all of this being done by this one machine, and at the capacity of 2G bottles a minute?14,400 a J day, or 8G,400 a week. Manager j Fischer gladly invites the public down j to see the machine at work. Sanita- I tion is his motto, and he will be j 1 pleased to convince you that he has it.

[COUNTY ORGANIZATIONS TO ORGANIZE NEXT FRIDAY Columbia, Nov. 10.?The CountyCotton associations have been called j by the state manager B. F. McLeod i to meet next Friday, November 14,! for the purpose of perfecting permanent organization and it is hoped that each county's association will comply with the call. The meeting in each county will be held at the | county i seat and a large attendance j is required. Each county association will elect : a president^ a vice president, and a sccretarv, and five other members. ! i | Each county association will also i elect three members of the state \ j board of directors. j In /^oll -fnr tina rmintv nippt.inp's I j XU VUAA XV*. wi*v - ? ? ? -0 ? Mr. McLeod asks each county chairman to "call attention to the fact that every member of the township ! ; and county organization is a member of the state organization." On Tuesday, ' December 2, a mammoth meeting will be held in Columbia to choose officers *for the state association. This meeting will be addressed by prominent men from over the cotton belt and plans for the association worked out. It is | hoped to make this the biggest' meeting ever held in the state. All county chairmen are urged by j Mr. McLeod to'secure as many members as .possible before the organization of the township and county associations this week. "This state association," he says "should have not less than 50,000 members when permanent-organization is effected on December 2. This will make our organization when it speaks, will be j heard from one end of the state to the other. It will be a unit* of the | American Cotton Association, which | prqmi^s to be the greatest organizatiorf in the world." THE JALAPA FAIR A SPLENDID SUCCESS The Community fair at Jalapa Friday, November 7th, was a splendid success. Only two communities, Tranwood and Jalapa took part but j I both deserve credit for the exhibits I displayed. Although on a much ' smaller scale the exhibits were equal |in quanity to the state fair exhibits. ' ^ -Pav?%v? nt*A/"ln/>fc5 / ?

The center of attraction, and very appropriate with the boll weevil in this section, in the Tranwood booth was the picture of the family cow just above a table on which was prettily, arranged a dairy meal. One i could eat milk, butter, and cottage | cheese and .not know it. The butter ! exhibit showed an excellent quality, j one of the best in the statfe so said j one of the judges. ; On the outside the display of pure ! bred poultry, turkeys, dui4fks, and ! | pigeons showed the progressive::ess ! of these people. The bountiful dinner of tinse | experienced housewives was enjoyed ; ; by a large number of people. !

Some time ago The Herald and I News published a card from Mr. j , 0. C. Bundrick whose name had I j been printed in the list of those who | had made the supreme sacrifice, [ stating that while he went over and had an experience in the trenches he had come back and was still liv- j t j mg. I There was a Bundrick from Newberry, however, who did make the supreme sacrifice. Mr. Carl C. Bundrick, son of Mr. T. 0. Bundrick of the Pomaria section, and who volunteered in the navy, contracted a case of the Flu while stationed at Charleston and died on October 1 '), I 1918. - j * HAVE YOU ANSWERED THE THIRD ROLL CALL? Have yxru answered the Third Roll Call of the Red Cross? Have you paid your membership fee of one dollar for 1920? And do you know how that dollar will be expended? One half of it will be forwarded to the treasurer of the national organization where it *will play its part in "seeing the last soldier through." Among other things it will help bring cheer and comfort to the 125,000 sick and wounded American soldiers at the present; time in 57. hospitals in this country, j The other half will be used to pre- J vent disease and relieve suffering in j your own community and will make your county a healthier and better i county in which to live. j Your chapter hopes through the cooperation of the State Board of Health to establish a health unit for j this county. This means that the j services of a physician and a trained j nurse will be available to the entire j community, rich and poor alike. It j will mean the medical inspection of i the schools. It will mean a general! health survey and an improvement in the sanitary conditions throughout the county. Typhoid fever was decreased 80 pef cent during the past year in Darlington county where they have a health unit. In Orangeburg another county that has a unit there <vf 7K ni?r feni. i W <13 a ucLicacv Ui v J. ? While in some of the adjoining counties during this same period there was an increase in the typhoid fever rate. You may draw your own con> clusfnons. > Why can not Newberry county have a health unit? The answer rests with us. Xet us put Newberry "over the top" in the call for 6920 members for the Red Cross.
