Improvement Association Has Many Activities Planned Prosperity, Feb. 20.?Some of Prosperity's most substantial citizens who years ago got their education at old Newberry college, Saturday night joined with the young alumni of the town in forming a Newberry College club. President S. J. Derrick, Dr. G. B. Cromer, Coach MacLean, Prof. James Kinard and Prof. Lane of Newberry came down to assist in the organization, and each spoke of the possibility of making Newberry college foremost in both education and athletics. All over the state Newberry college alumni are forming clubs thp fnmin? season the Lu <IUU ?1UI n?v - ? therans hope to see their college rank among the best, carrying off honors in baseball, football and basketball. The officers elected are: President, Prof. E. 0. Counts. Vice President, J. M. Beaenbaugh. Secretary and treasurer, Dr. G. Y. Hunter. The executive committee will con~? orvrl fwn r?f Vipr rr?l Pill SI5?< Ui Hie unatic uuu v.. ? - bers. Another committee will be appointed, consisting of five to bring to the attention of the public the plan to build a gymnasium on hte campus. One thousand men are wanted to buy tickets at $10 which will 3d* mit the purchaser of the ticket to twenty games of baseball, basketball or football the coming season. All the speakers advocated and stressed this plan, believing that a thousand friends of Newberry college would come forth and assist the college in a material way by purchasing these $10 tickets. The Community league has planned a rare treat for both young: and old ^ Friday evening when the doors of the town hall will be opened at 8 o'clock to a first class carnival. A short program has been arranged under the able supervision of Mrs. J. D. Quattle baum, after which the carnival will be on in full force. Everybody is cordially invited. A small admission fee of 5 and 10 cents will be charged. The Community league of Prosperity met Thursday afternoon at the school auditorium with the president, Mrs. G. W. Harmon presiding. Mrs. J. D. Quaatlebautii's pupils brought Valentine greetings to the league, 1 * ^ ? ?-- vAT\AY?fc! W P7*0 Hlt6r wnicn 2 numuci ui icyvi^ hv*v I w ne he in I S L * I heard.

H. Moorefield. This ac;ion was followed by the resignation >f Charles 0. Hearon of Spartanburg Tom the commission who, it is unlerstood, was opposed to accepting tfr. Moorefield's resignation. Mr. learon mailed his resignation to Governor Cooper. Mr. Moorefield's resignation is efective March 1st. Mr. Moorefield's resignation was, endered several days ago when it vas stated that the fight on state lighway department could be stopped f he were eliminated. He took the j >osition he had no desire to be the ause of strife, and if his resignation vould compose matters he would be :lad to have it accepted. Governor hooper supported the contention that rlr. Moorefield's letter to Mr. MacDonald, chief of the bureau of road? n Washington, printed some day? go, was an indiscretion that made lis resignation necessary. Just what vill be the legislative effect of today'? levelopments is not clear.
