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

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

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.
The meeting also endorsed the
building: of a White Way for the city.

was for progress, and it looks now

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

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.

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

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.

is said by his physicians to be out of s
danger. I
The career of John F. Dodge paral- fc
leled in many ways that of a majority I
of Michigan's leading automobile v
makers. It began in a small ma- i
chine shop; included many struggles c
against poverty and failure and its
close found him one of the motor a
kings of the world with a fortune es- c
timated at upwards of $50,000,000. a
Dodge was born in Niles, Mich., 54 c
years ago. After his public school j t
education he served an apprenticeship I [
in his father's machine shop. In 1886 ! fc
moved to Detroit to follow his 11
trade. He was shortly afterward 11
joined by his brother, Horace E. !fi
Dodge, and for years the brothers j t
worked together as wage earning ma- ! 3
chinists. Their first business venture t
was in 1901 when the>J opened a shop f
of their own employing 12 persons, fc
They built parts for automobile con- j
cerns just starting in business. I
In 1912 the brothers announced
their intention of entering the auto- J
mobile business on their own account. 2
The enterprise was successful from, fc
the beginning and under the impetus [
of the war it grew until today the [
Dodge interests employ approximate- t
ly 18,000 persons.
