Newberry College Club Organized?
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

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.

The executive committee will con~?

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,

iEARON RESIGNS FROM
HIGHWAY COMMISSION
cnlnmKin Fph. 14?The crisis came
n the state highway controversy this
ifternoon when the commission, after
in all-day session, including a confertnce
with Governor Cooper, accepted
he resignation of the state highway
;ngineer, C. 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'?
