A t * ' > * VOLUME LVL, NUMBER 5. , NEWBERRY, S, C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1920. TWICE A WEEK. $2.00 A YEAS / ... . . _ L NEWBERRY TO MOVE FORWARD IN MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT WA Fine Meeting of Citizens?Spirit Was Good?Unanimous For Something Worth While to be Done. That was a fine meeting Wednes day night. Of course there were not Y so many citizens present as should have been on account of the import ance of the matters to be discussed, but as citnzen meetings go it was well attended and those present were not given to much talking, but there was no doubt that they were in earnest in their desires to see some very important public improvements made in the city of Newberry during the years to come, and that they wanted the work to begin at once. There were one or two discordant .1 notes but they were almost inaudible. One was that we should not undertake to do everything at once, and another thought that the city might at some tiiVe have a reckless set of officers and that even the people y themselves might become reckless and ? spend too much money for public im[ provement, and therefore the citizens fallow should not open tne gates iuu wide. All recommendations _of the citycouncil for public improvements as made by Mayor Blease were endorsed unanimously. Mayor yitt'v ViVCviiJ v. ..... fc. Blease made a statement showing the present financial condition of tha city. The total income and the exl^penditures, and went somewhat into detail. We regret that space at this time will not permit the publication his explanations of the income and JToutgo, but hope to publish it in a > subsequent issue for the benefit of the taxayers. RJease called the meeting to order and on motion of J. B. Hunter, f&Z. F. Wright was elected chairman, jjrand B. V. Chaman, secretary. Mr. Wright said that the meeting was not as large as it should have been and that he noticed that some of the members of council even were not present, and some prominent men i were conspicuous by their absence. 11 - ? J ?'< slic/trm-mcrinor when the ^aiU H ? uj officers tried to do something and they could not feel that they had the hearty cooperation of the people. He did not believe in plunging the town into debt, but it was time that we were doing something in the way of ! public improvement. Mr. Blease then made his statement i as to conditions and recommendaVtions. He prefaced his remarks by that the first resolution of T the city council adopted in the early ; hours of the first day of the New Iar, was that we are going to do nething for your town during 1920. said that this was a Democratic mtry and of course authority to thines must come from the people mselves. The mayor and council ild make suggestions, but the actbuilding and advance must be ho3*ized by the people. Mr. Blear-e i that unless his administration uld be able to do something worth * ' 1 * ? J ACC r "WllllC I or ine comniuniv y uiiu uiiicoo the people gave the authority and furnished the money, it could not be done, he would feel that he had not been honored in his elet"! '?n as mayor. I ' He said he didn't care to oe mayor of jf^^dead town and he hoped when his: sMfdministration came to a clo. e that S^ne would be able to look back ai-d B?ee something which had been ac.T" complished that was worth while, and : he felt that the city council ^..dorsed this position. , The meeting authorized or recom ' flfcandea the city council at once to I order an election on issuing $80,000 . in bond? and authorize the assessing! ' of abutting property for the purpose; of building streets. $80,000 is the , total that can be voted under the; constitution. But by supplementingJ ^?Lwifb $80,000 from property ownersI H|tiild give $160,000 for building ?^~ihst tbf ft?;-' ^ i>Ut'C L & 1U1 OiVUCV UM4U W4Mv _ j I" timates which he had indicated that j p it would take 50 to 60 thousand dol- j [ lars per mile to build streets. He i B said there were 80 miles of streets { [ in Newberry, but that if we could I get 12 miles of paving the town I would be well covered and the most I used streets could be paved. city council also suggested an j H^Br.drnent to the state constitution j BRPrh?.t more than 8 per cent of bonds' could be issued. Some thought there! r should be a limit and it was decided \ nto raise the limit from 8 per cent to \ ^B^per cent and council was author-j - J x - ~~1 'irric;! ittAll ' [reeci to sccuic me piuyti v... The council was also petitioned to j increase the appropriation to the j board of health so that an expert i health officer may be secured.

CONFERENCE TO: BE HELD FOR GOOD ROADS Columbia, J?.n. 14.?A Conference of good roads advocates will be held in Columbia shortly with members of th^ general assembly for the purpose of exchanging ideas as to v.hat the sicte needs in the shape cf methods for improving the highways, both arterial and county latterai roads, according to a statement of Senator Christensen of Beaufort, president of the South Carolina Landowners' association. The organization of which Senator Christensen is the head, along with other organizations which are working to have a comprehensive road program adopted, such as the South Carolina Automotive Trades association, the Travelers' Protective asso -L- iT-.-i- .3 ol Ciauon, tilt; t'liueu uuuiiaciv.iai Travelers, the State Highway commission and other agencies, will be i invited to attend the conference. It is believed that out of the conj diet of ideas and the friction of discussion a method acceptible to every ; element desiring good roads will be : evolved. It is thought that few of the members of the general assembly are oppossed to the idea of improved highways; their difference of j opinion primarily is due to the j method by which the revenue should | oe raised and its distribution. No date has been set for this conference, but it will be in the near jfuture. J CAPITAL NEWf (By John I Columbia, Jan. 15.?The general f j assembly met on Tuesday at noon, I n(1 got down to work in short order. | Governor Cooper did not deliver his; I message on the first day, but ad-j | dressed the members on Wednesday, i I There are some far-reaching sug-! | gestions in his annual message, many ; ! of which are along constructive lir.es. j I Calling attention to the prosperity I of the state, he launched into a disj cussion of what he considers the prob-' j lems confronting the people at this : time, and his recommendations as to i their solution. T-? - J* ! J- - II.. 1 1 i. T . ? ^4- ! j Xieiernng to uie uuugei iuu ciiatted at the last session cf th? general J assembly, he said the budget was now, > in the hands of the members. "You j will notice." he said, "that the expen- j ; ditures' daring the year 1919 were; considerably in excess of year appro-; filiations. This is due to the fact j that a large amount cf money is ex-i ponded by departments or agencies i that collect it, the law allowing this j to be done." The coiviparison should ! be made between the expenditures j for 1019 and the total recommended : for 1920. It was his belief that we; should work toward the direct appro-; priation of all money. Ke recom-1 mended that the scope of the law be j so enlarged as to re q ire county offi-1 ceis and departments to submit an ' annual budget in accordance with classifications promulgated by the | state. A complete annual credit of : all county offices under the direction | of the comptroller general was also i urged.. | In this connection, in order to ! obviate the necessity of borrowing . i funds in anticipation of the collec-1 j tion of taxes each year, he recom mended the changing of the fiscal year so that it shall run from July ^ 1, instead of from January 1, as at I present. ? j Saying that the present constitu-1 tion has been in effect for nearly i | twenty-five .years, and that many of J i its provisions are not particularly ! well adapted to the present needs of ' ' South Carolina, he recommended that j j the question of calling- another con- I ; ? convention be referred to i i the people. j "A board of control for all penal! i and charitable institutions would be j I in line with proved principles of effi-< j cient state government/' ne said, and j ; he recommended that such a board be . created. A similar coordination of authority j with regard to the state's educational! institutiors was also recommended. j ;<\Ve should have a .cenei-al educa- j tior.nl board which should perform the j duties nf the present state board of education, and in addition have pow er to determine the educational policy of the s.tate." He did not recommend the abolition of the various '; 1 bc.-vds of trustees: nor that this gen-1 i erai board should have power toj I select teachers, or make local rules; | for institutions or school districts. ! Purely local matters, he said, were ! best handled by trustees. On the j p.cv>csed gre'feral board he reeoni-' j i mended the placing* of the chairmen j lot the committees on education of! < 11h -* cprnto and the house, the state ' j superintendent, and the governor, ex-! < | biTieio, and other members who! would represent ail phases of public < education. ! He reiterated his suggestion made j; j heretofore for a scholarship loan! j fund, to er.able worthy young men j j dT'1 wrrnen fn Ij He strongly called attention to the : j inauequaie ^aii'-. i < w . .< .* >. > I j in the common schools, and urged re-1 lief along this line. I i The public health department's ' activities were strongly commended, i With regard to good roads, he ? called attention to the bill which had been prepared during the year and ? ser.t to the members for their study, I as a basis for discussion. He said ha ; believed this bill, or one similar to it, ; ! would bring results quickly. It would j leave to the several counties the mat- j j ! a+vrirJ- ir?n r>f hif'iwavs. I I LV." ' VI ; UV vlf .1 ?> A ? vw . - . - ^ . while the state would undertake the , ' maintenance of all trunk lines. The |; form of the legislation, however, he { i said, was r.ct of lirst importance. ) What was wanted was an act that i I would result in ?ccd roads all over ] I the state. ; He advocated the abolition of the ; I county chain grans* system, and the j ; establishment of a state system. He renewed his recommendation, [ { with regard to the assessment of IJ property, for the apportionment of 1 the total amount of state taxes among: l the several counties according to t their taxable wealth. He was convinced that additional ( sources of revenue must be found, but said he would discuss this matter in a special message. ' An investigation, he said, would show that there are thousands of : acres of land, and also other property,. * " * i 1 I , not on the tax books ot tne siate, ana i he earnestly recommended a survey < by state, county, township, school dis- 1 trict and private property lines. No i appropriation would be needed for * this work, he said, as all expenses in- r curred could be met from delinquent I taxes collected. He recommended an administration t building", to hou?e the various depart- i ments of government now renting f ! offices in different parts of the city, | j [ Ikj rentals amounting now 10 approx-;; > AND GOSSIP C. Aull.) l.niately $37,000 per year. It would' ho fheanpr V\p said. fnr thf* state, to K/W w^.^, erect a building. He. recommended a general purchasing agent for the various institutions. With regard to law enforcement, he said he v.as convinced that an j appropriation larger than that made last year was necessary for enforc-1 ing the prohibition law. He called ! ottontinn to ili:rit distilleries bein??! operated, saying that during the past j year there had come to him upwaid of 400 requests for officers to be sent! to one point, or another, and during i the same period the chief state con- j stables had received upwards of some ( 1,200 requests. His recommendation is that the governor be authorized to appoint a state constabulary of from fifty to seventy-live mer, whose duty it shall be to apprehend MOaatoi'3 of any iaw. An appropriation of iron: $75,090 to $100,000 he thought would be necessary. He urged a liberal policy toward ! the National Guard. * ?i iT.! tie aiso recomiTienueu his i-ibbuuui of a board of censors for motion pic-1 ture shows, without whose consent no j picture may be put on exhibition. Endorse Peace Treaty. The legislature on its opening day went on record as endorsing the ratification of the peace treaty, and ex- J pressed sympathy' with President Wilson in his illness. Opening addresses were made by President Liles, in the senate, andj Speaker Cothran, in the house, both | ci* which touched upon national is- j sues. Several bills .which failed of rati-1 fication at the last session by a fluke, j were ratified. Senator Niels (Jhnstensen, 01 Beaufort, has introduced in the senate the resolution for the ratification of the woman's suffrage amendment to the federal constitution, and it will* be the subject of lively debate when it is reached. The house on Wednesday killed a bill which would have imposed a fine j of $1,000 or a term of live years for j the theft of automobiles. Vice President in Columbia.
