I & t is jj|j - * TtaSiSii 1 <$> <$ * <8>THE WHY, WHO AND HOW OF^ A MODERN CHAMBER OF < COMMERCE <5 * Five Questions and Five Answers ^ ; . - 'j ^ j Answer to Question No. 3. Having told the readers of Th > Herald and News why Newberr. should expand its Chamber o<f Com merce and what it can do, the exeer tive committee today makes the an swer below to the question of who i:> going to run the enlarged organiza tion in this city. This is the third oi the five questions which have beer asked, the others relating to the fnar. * ces of the Chamber and its perma nence as a community movement. ? Who is going to ruu the New hern Chamber of Commerce after the ex pansion campaign? The members are going to run it In the modern Chamber of Commerc< v which is what Newberry is going t< have at the end of the campaign, every member is on an equal footing Each raavs the same dues, each ha: 1 one vote only, each has the right tc nominate for office, each--has as louc voice as any otter in making of th< program of work and each will b< > called upon to exercise these rights. Under the old plan, nomination: were made by committees, committee were named by the president alone oin consultation i with the secretary and quite often the prsyp^m^of work v if there was one^ -^a ^witltt^ ^ne of Ko tTiTo in/4iviHnal? Natiirallv thi :-rf system often leads to control by i ? small group. The member who fel that he was one of the obscure major ity was too indifferent to come ou of the background and presently aftei joining the chamber he substantially ; V Withdrew, and in a year or two stop- 1 per paying dues. He was "not inter- * /J ested." . ' The expanded Newberry Chambei ( of Commerce will be conducted along the new plan?again the 'boiled dowr, - - i result of dozens ot experiments 01 j , insisting that the members, all the members, shall say who shall hold of- ] r fice and be directors and what plank? shall compose the platform or program of work. It is a fundamental principle oi the expansion campaign that the full membership shall direct the thought and life of the chamber. > . The election of the new director? and officers will take place at once nnrm t.Vio r>nmr?lp+inn n-? tVip member- . ship campaign. The election machin ery is of the simplest character. Each 1 member will be provided with a bal lot bearing the name of every member so arranged that he may vote for whom he chooses. A complete print ed list of the membership will be t part of tHe' ballot. The men elected to the board of directors will be the ones receiving the largest number oi votes, cast secretly and uninfluenced by any other consideration than merit. _ J J _ J J._ ams is uemocracy reuuccu lu iw simplest form. Fitness in the opin\ ion of his fellow citizens will alone * determine whether a member shall hold office. Ability and a willingness to serve his community will alone keep a man in office once he has been [elected to it, for it is app?rent that any director who fails to measure up to the expectation of his fellow members will not be reelected. How the committees will be choser was explained in the answer to the i question of what the Chamber of Commerce can do. Under the modern plan the member's forum will be an important fea rture of the expanded .Vnvberry Chamber of Commerce. It will be the medium of . ommunication 'between the officers and directors and the membership. It will frequently hold luncheons and meetings bringing together the membership to invite the presentation and ? discussion of new projects. It will check up the progress of the work of the committees. It will bring sneakers on important subjects to the chamber to assist the community in J V rmmzi reTown^ : <e he solution of its problems. It will ^ >e the dynamo which will give mo-1 ^ ion and action to the chamber as an j ^ )rganization. The members' forum organization s so planned that it reaches by disinct groups the individual members; nd is thoroughly alive to the thought. nnloo A-f t.Vio mpmhershin as a' "u *""w " 0 vhole. It is an organization within ^ n organization and is responsible "or the efficiency of the chamber and ^ financial standing; j ' It is needless to say that the mem- ] ' >ers' forum is made up of all of the nost progressive and ready workers^ n the organization. j The whole purpose of the Chamber! ^ >f Commerce, first and last, is to , -n. in >ring together tne most responsiDie: .nd capable men and women in the; ' ity and keep them at work for the: 'ood of the city. Through frequent J ^ ocial meetings the acquaintance of1 j ach individual member is broadened,! ' 6 riendships are established and there j rows up a confidence and optimism j^, vhich are the two intangible but com- j elling forces which carry a commun-! ty forward. _ Si VILLIAM RUSSELL IN c A NEW RUGGED ROLE I P I ii Motion picture patrons who like j ^ Tigged stories in which brawn is the j hief factor in controlling conditions, j Q vill have an opportunity of seeing.S: me at the opera house next Tuesday ,s' T> 11 + a vnen wmiam rvus&cn is wc icatuiku ittraction in "Bare Knuckles," a new b iVilliam Fox production. a With the story set in the heart of w he Sierra Mountains, and Russell, :nown as "Brute" McGuire, in the C ole of a construction camp boss, who to ules his men with his muscle and c lever carries a gun, the star has a v vehicle that is full of red-blooded ac- n ;ion. ti "Brute" McGuire rose over other! t; uen in his hard school of experience,! o lence his name?which he earned in j S San Francisco's underworld, where it. nen were recruited for the rough t .vork on the irrigation dams. He u uled through fear,' but to those he g loved he was tender as a babe. t; Russell is said to handle this com- o )lex character with extraordinary kill. It is difficult to recognize in d 'Brute McGuire" the same man who a 1 1 1 - Alamirmon 11 enacted ine cumpiacei^ nci6jjn Russell's recent Fox picture, "The c theater Reformed." 1 William Fox has surrounded his S ;tar with a capable company of play- u errs. o ^i c FAMOUS BOY DIVER e SEEN IN CIRCUS FILM s t "The Nerviest Kid in America." r That's the title sporting editors ill over the country have handed n Cameron Coffey, the world's great- a ?* nnw nnnparincr in mo-In uvy i?v . ?ct ^ ion pictures. j c From the time he wa3 able to walk ^ young Coffey was able to swim.

Some months later Cameron surprised them all by g beating his own height record by ten r feet, besides inventing a couple of s brand-new and difficult aquatic i stunts. t Then it was that the sporting edi- <; tors acclaim^ im as "the nerviest p kid in America.' e T-nfal ohotoplay audiences will j ^ have an opportunity to see "the ner- e viest kid in America" at the opera f house Wednesday in "The Little Clown," a Mary Miles Minter pic- s ure play.

H) Mirror. i In a personal letter received by the ditor of The Mirror from a citizen f South Carolina who is as well fitted s any man in the South to express orrectly the feelings of that part of ur country, we take the following aragraph: "Not so much the victory of Mr. [arding but the manner of the late ampaign has been disappointing and addening to some of us. We were ot prepared for the reopening of ials of wrath against the South on he part of some of our Republican riends. I know that they do not lean it; that most of them, at anyj ate, are friendly to us. i nave met do many of them in the last four ears, and talked with them, to beeve it. It has been a long day since have heard any sectional feeling xpressed against the North by any ne in this part of the country. That here should be, at this time, prejuice in any part of this country gainst the people of another part eems to me childish. Yet it has ropped out in many Republican pa-j n*"! ?* /.wi pfltmvvilipon enoopvipe: Cid ailU d^vvv??v | i the last four months, and I think j here is nothing here corresponding j !> it. Of course we have the 'negro uestion' and our people are not all aints or philosophers, but there is a tubborn difference between living in state where the colored race numers about 860,000 and the white race bout 700,000, and living in a state rhere all the peopole are white." We have also a clipping from the lolumbia (S. C.) State, a represenative publication of the South, which ontain? a letter from a citizen with rhich The State expresses disagreelent. The correspondent says that he Soirth has tried in vain to regain he old position it had in the union f state, that the North regards the outh with suspicion and distrust and hat he is discouraged over any furher attempt to make the rest of the nion understand that the South has ood will, desires only to give and ake in friendship and be wholly at ne with the country. These are grave Symptoms of a oubt of our national unity, while we re before national perils which may lvolve the North and South in a ommon disaster. The election of 'om Watson of Georgia as United tates senator, though Watson is sually regarded as socialistic, more r less pro-German and a creator of lass hatreds, is a bad omen. If forign propaganda resisted elsewhere hould thrive in a discouraged South he consequences might be very seious. In truth the South has done its u-t-j lost to progress, to establish justice1 nd equity and build up a high ideal f patriotism during the past half entury. Some are prone to criticise! ;er for not giving tfte negro voters j ull opportunity for office and full op- j lortunity to vote. But New Haanp-j hire people who should find that ome mill had put eight negroes into he old home town to every seven of he home folk might not leave full ontrol of the colored people, under ny condition. They would probably nsist especially upon white control of he police and the administrative ofices. If it should chance that the olored people, as in the South, could lot, as a whole, show any great de:ree of education, and if it should hance that New Hampshire should md, some election day, that there /ere about nine negro voters going o the polls to each seven white peoile, it might not submit to a negro fovernor, negro legislature and negro nanagement of prisons, asylums and ' ?:~u+ +u? + cnoois. UI course, 11 llli&iii, uc umi, he negroes would divide up as to paries, though they do not, North or South. Would we handle a race roblem as well as the South? Northm men on Southern farms are nooriously more sever with the colord people than are the older resilents. As for the South geting the offices md the appropriations during the (past eight years; they have not gotten! jvery much during the past 50 years j and if thev did get more thev prob-; | ? [ably felt it was little enough. At all; | event? the North ir. all its educated j classes and probably in all except I very isolated instances, regards the; ; South as cordially as it does any sec- j | tion of the United States. We all . fV>o Prtn-forJomfo war is: -fnr hack ; of two wars in which the Southern j .soldier? died gallantly with our sons j for the flag. We all know thai New' 'England especially is not ignoble j enough to fail in deep respect foi the' i | Southern people. The North owes \ :a square deal to the South. It owes' | an apology for the late campaign of j the Republican speakers who used j I appeals to sectionalism, and that apology should be made for them by Presiden-elect Harding.
