This; meeting will be addressed by an out j of town speaker of national reputa- ; f-inn "whose name will be announced j later. There will be music and i smokes. There will be no charge for! admission and every man and woman, interested in the future of the city; and the county will be welcome.; Printed circular invitations will be j sent out to a large list of prospects j as ah additional effort to secure a J large attendance but it is hoped that J pvAFvone whether he receives an invi- j tation or not, will come tfo the meeting, and learn first hand what his or her part will be in the Newberry of tomorrow. j Mr. William C. Ewing and Mr. J Dewey J. Carter of the American City i bureau arrived in the city on Mon-1 day 2nd the preliminaries of the campaign are now well under way. Mr. Ui Ewing will have charge and Mr. Car Iter will manage the publicity and the office. Extra stenographers are busy at work at the Chamber of Commerce office in College street at the corner of Friend, preparing the lists of pros- J' pective members of the expanded or-) ganization. The first three weeks of the campaign will be taken up by educational effort consisting of mailings and ^meetings in order to thoroughly ac4u&in* the people with objects of o-nA +V10 ftnf?tanHinc Xfle XIU/YCiiiCXil. aiiu vmvwhmwv?q i I reasons why ev?ry man and woman ; whoJias-the real interest of the corti-j nmnijty at heart and who can possibly | afford it, should plan to identify ] tbeiBSelves with this great civic andi commercial step forward. The fourth | weeij will be. taken up by the drive j Memberships when a team organization of local men will make a thorough canvass of the city and surron&ng territory in order th>at every oneonay have an opportunity to join. ^Chile the present organization has been, m existence only a ye^r it has In^JJrtheless already demonstrated its useittlness and the directors, some tsni^ago came to the conclusion that |tfce$n]y things needed to make the ra Ne^-berry Chamber of Commerce the best^for a city of its size in the state, were'mofe members and consequently a larger income. This will be accomplished during1 the present campaign and the Newberry Chamber of Commerce wiH be expanded to a size in proportion to the civic, commercial and industrial interests of the section, and second to none of its size in the ? cfo f D (k ~ pwi>v? I.. Mr. Maxwell, who has been secretary of the Chamber of Commerce duciag the past year, made arrangeE.f ments some time ago to accept a poll sitibn with the U. S. Shipping board at Washington, D. C., leaves on Sat. urday but this will not affect the cam? - paign in any way. Before the AmerI: ican City bureau representatives - leave, efforts will be made to select a k>- new secretary for the organization E?: so that there may be no interruption in.'the work. s Meeting of the Board of Assessors P T&e township board of assessors | * met Auditor J.

Cigyjlar Number 1. To the County Auditor and Township r. jSoards of Assessors. j Gentlemen: * Qd account of the general defla-! tiop in property values, you may en- i j eoturfcsr some difficulty in keeping as- j j ses?aa^nts as high this year as^ they i were last year. We, therefore, call;' your attention to the fact that the i assessments of horses, mules and cat- p tie were not increased during the last j several years, and that the assessment thereof should not now be decreased. |. From the information nvni1n!l>l<\ i appears that the same average should j be maintained in assessing horses, j mules and cattle as last year, aa there was no material change in these: classes of property during the initialed period. 'llie Boards of Assessors should allow decreases only in individual cases where the assessment of last year; would be more than 42 per cent of the actual value of the property.j You should be very diligent in assess-; ir.g property escaping taxation and J property not properly assessed, so j that there will be no reduction in the j assessed value of property this year. When your boards have finished i assessing horses, mules and cattle, please send* us a statement showing the number and average assessed value of each class thereof, and be | sure not to enter the assessments on j your duplicate until so directed by this commission. Yours very truly, South Carolina Tax Commission, <A. W. Jones, Chairman, J. P. Derham, Commissioner, W. G. Query, Commissioner. STUDEBAKER LIGHT-SIX BREAKS SPEED RECORDS Carrying U. S. Mail, Car Makes Sen sational Run from San brancis- l / co to Los Angeles and Return In two sensational dashes a Studebaker Light-Six recently broke all records for speed between San Francisco and Los Angeles, setting a new mark for the round trip, lowering the coast route record by 2 hours, 35 minutes, 20 seconds, beating the best time ever made over the valley route, and leaving "The Lark," most famous of the fastv coast express trains. 3 hours, 47 minutes and 30 seconds in the rear. Ojn the first trip the drivers, Hart L. Weaver and James C. Gurley, carried U. S. mail both ways between San Francisco and Los Angeles, being sworn in as federal officials upon authority from Washington. In fact, the journey was made for the purpose of showing the possibilities of the motor car in transporting mail quickly The round trip, a distance of 864.8 miles, was covered by the Studcbaker in 21 hours, 23 minutes. The trip . .... _ \ down, over tns coast route, a distance of 45S.7 miles, was made in 10 hours. 12 minutes, 30 seconds, as compared with the previous best record of 12 hours, 47 minutes, 50 seconds, established in ,1916. The car and "The ' Lark" started their dash to Los Angeles at the same time, and it was on this occasion that the JLight-Six beat the train's schedule by over three and one }ialf hours. After hanging up these records, the Studebaker drivers went after the fourth and only remaining speed mark ?that of lowering the previous best time over the valley route. They sue-1 i i i a_ A T ! ceeaeu in maKmg uie trip num Angeles to San Francisco over this route, a distance of 411.1 miles, in 9 hours, 15 minutes, 50 seconds, of which time 35 minutes was spent in crossing the .ferry to San Francisco. This record-breaking time was made under difficult weather conditions, the pilots being forced to drive through a dense fog 120,miles of the way. These record breaking trips also prove how an automobile can stand a long continued run without mechanical trouble. In this case the car was rpnrlv tn start, out nn its second triD mt immediately after finishing the first Newberry Visiters in Town Laurens Advertiser, 9th. Col. E. H. Aull, superintendent of education of Newberry County, and Attendance Officer Counts, of the same place, were visitors in the city Monday. Col. Aull came up to confer with the Laurens superintendent of education relative to the line schools | between the .two counties. Besides being county superintendent of education and a very active one at that, Col. Aull is editor of The Herald and News and has been for about thirtyfive years. It was natural th?h for him to make an "official" visit to The Advertiser, which was greatly appre ciatea. A Harder One "What would you do if you had Rockefellers income?" asks a writer.
