TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR "WE EN THE NEWBERRY CREAMERY TO BE ESTABLISHED SOON j Organization to Be Perfected Next Monday Afternoon. To Be in Operation Within 60 Days During the past several months j much talk has been heard in regard! to the establishing of a creamery in i Newberry. This project was launch- j ed by the Newberry chamber of com- j ' * ^ merce some 'montns ago ana tms or- ; ganization ras worked faithfully for , the establishment of this enterprise j, and they now announce that the creamery will be established within! the next sixty days, or just as soon , as the equipment can be secured and j' set up ready for operation. The creamery is being established through the forming of a stock company. Most of the stock as already been sold, however those who have not already subscribed will have an opportunity to do so within the next; few days. Stockholders met in the i office of the chamber on last Monday j and organized temporarily, however j the organization can not be complet-! ed until all stock-holders meet to-; gether. This wili ;be done on next j Monday afternoon at 5:00 o'clock, at | which time all the stockholders are j requested to meet in the office of the j chamber of commerce. It will be necessary for every stockholder to be represented at this meeting in person or by proxy. The establishing of the creamery j will be considered by every one the . best move that has been made in: Newberry county for many years, in | view of the fact that through this en terprise the farmers <;an market prac- j tically every product of the farm. Ail ' the farmers interested in supplying' cream to the creamery should begin at once and make preparations, as it is possible that the creamery will be ^ r\ Aeif i am f a o Yi 1 /-v at?ao m A\ror\ no.. . ill JLtUOlClVSll bV 11 C41HJ.lt c*tll fore the equipment is set up.

Prices as of 43 food articles in 51 important cities were considered. Seventeen of these articles showed dcrass ranging from! less than five-tenths of 1 per cent on butter and tea to 34 per cent on strictly fresh butter, 21 articles increased from less than five-tenths of | 1 per cent, on cheese to 11 per cent j on oranges, and six articles remained j unchanged. During the year March 15, 1921 to March 15, 1922, the bureau added, , the average decrease in the retail ( prices of these foods was 11 per cent,, 35 articls declining and eight increas- j ing. In the nine year period, ending ! March 15, the average of increase ! was placed at 43 per cent. SUBJECTS FOR PITY, SYMPATHY AND KINDNESS Two brothers, Ebenezer and Lueien ; Morris, of South Georgia, traveling j through the country in covered wagons, separately, each wagon in charge ! i of a small boy, were in Newberry j Wednesday, just going on without j I any objective point in view. The men i < were pitiable objects, emaciated and j helpless from chronic rheumatism of long standing, lasting fourteen years j for one and nine years for the other. !, One was lying down and the other : was strapped in a sitting position, to , keep him from falling, neither being ! ; able co stand on his feet. The feet of 1 the one sitting on the wagon seat are in a fearful condition, terribly swol- J1 len and bulging from under the bro- J; ken skin. It was a sight to cause I; shudders and call forth charity from!? people blessed with health and thej' comforts of life. j< THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED THE COTTON CONTRACT The list below will show those who . have alreay entered into the spirit J of the cotton growers campaign.

That is the sort of hen that Mr. G. i YV. Jacobs has. She lavs two at one time, or did that thing the other day, ' and the two are securely fastened to-: aether. And both very near the same | size and the regulation size of an egg. , The twin eggs are at the drug store ' of Gilder and Weeks. j LUTHER IN SHAPE IE AFTER FIRST ROUND j Furman Gets Big Lead but Loses to ' Newberry, Nine to Four !

Her hus-: ' band and her brother were fighting ' with rocks and Blossie, seeing that ~ 3 the husband was about to kill her bro- \ ther, as she thought, shot the former. It seems that the men were 'al- ^ f ways fussing." the trouble brought i about from the fact that this second * husband married the woman thinking Q cb get hold of the installments of the { * - - ? * - i - i i * ! x $10.UUU insurance ieit ner oy ner ioi- mer husband who was a soldier, and ;s i Vi the brother knew it, and he and his : | n sister were not letting the scheming , s man have the money.

FAVORS PASSAGE OF THE BONUS BILL c I notice that the Abbeville Press ^ nd Banner has opened up fire on the onus bill in favor of the boys who * ,-^lh ffered their lives as-a sacrifice and ndured the most cruel war that the r /orld ever experienced. Yes, hundreds of thousands of our ^ ear boys not only gave up their oc- o upations at the very time when their c ervices were most needed at home, 7 J ut thousands upon thousands of hem were swallowed up in the waers of the sea, and the bones and P shes of their bodies are still being r ug up out of European soil and sent ack to their poor broken hearted pa- b ents. t When I think back four or five j V ears ago when our people of the Inited States were filled with such ^ nthusiasm as was never experienced 11 efore in the history of time. How a len in every nook and corner stood ^ pon the high places, crying out, 0 Loyalty! Patriotism!" and saying, a Go on my young men and whip the 8 Jermans or they will soon invade our x and. We are going to stand behind ^ ou and when you come "back home v ou will be counted the heroes and alt of America." t Yes. when I saw mv bov driving 7 - - 5 is .xidle to the house from his little arm on *he evening of June te 24th, ^ 918, looking back with tears in his c yes on the only thing he had to look o for a dollar?and when I saw him C! ack his grip and shut his room and ? n tart out the next morning with his Q leart so full that he could hardly n hake the hands of his old parents; r.d only five weeks from the very ay he was placed upon the ocean to T> o?where? To defend a set of people who took the bucket off his rell and refused to give him a drink f water, after a long hike through he mud and rain. The world knows v hat the going of these boys was the j urning point in the victories of the j, lermans. Now after all the hardships these oys endured to defend our national fi overnment, to think that we would ave a man to publicly raise a ques- b ion, were the boys going to sacrifice h hm'r livps for natriotism or for mon- t! y? If it was a money proposition, w .hat did so many boys who became rr lind, lame and insane, get out of it? a would like to ask the Press and . I tanner editor how many boyb he hadje vcr in France and Germany? How1 a lany boys have you got for sale ?|ir ind don't you think it is a pretty Iv rave charge upon our other six rep-jC esentatives of congress from South j h arolina who voted for the bonus bill is< o call them a set of demagogues? !c Let us be consistent with one an- ] y ther. In the name of God, who! I rould think of sacrificing their lives ; .A OLLEGIANS DOWN C HIGH SCHOOL TEAM econd Team of Indians Defeats Batesburg-Lcesville Nine C 2 'he State. ] Newoerry, April 10.?The Newber-j t y college second team blanked the ;'! tatesburg-Leesville high school nine ' ere this afternoon by the score of < to 0. The pitching of Longshore 1 or the young Indians was the out- i tanding feature of the game aside 1 rom the excellent fielding of the lo-' i al nine. The Newberry hurler sent 1 5 of the visitors back to the bench ': iy the strike out route. Asbill and ] ''allow pitched well for the high chool lads but they were inclined to ' >e wild, this being: largely responsible or the runs scored against them. The ' >oys from the Ridge section were omewhat erratic in the fielding 1 igainst the collegians this afternoon,1 >ut they appear to have a team which . vill be in the running for the state j ihampionship until tfte end of the | eason.

The school louse here is no longer used.for : chool purposes and has been left as.1 place to hold religious services re-1 ;ardless of denomination. This step fas taken for the convenience of ,1 he people in the community who.; yent to a good deal of trouble to put ip the house a good many years ago. j < ."'he people in the community went! ogether and filled the house with f eats and when you go in the house iow it looks churchly. We hope to ave religious services here now ocasionally by different ones. We are 11 very thankful to Col. E. H.

McDaniel Is Reelected Secretary and r i r* - _ rr? nr c.. i"-. v-arpenier ireaiurer.?10 Have Banquet Soon At an official meeting of the board of directors of the Newberry chamber of commerce held on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. L. G. Eskridge, prominent business man, was elected president of the organization. In selecting Mr. Eskridge to head the organization the directors feel that they have made a wise selection, in view of the fact that Mr. Eskridge is well fitted to handle the office in every particular, a good president, and under his direc Lion trie organization win accompusn many things for Newberry county during the coming year. It will be recalled that Mr. James W. Johnson has served as prseident of the organization during the past several months. Mr. Johnson made a good prsident, and under his direction many things have been accomplished, as well as many other things planned for the future. Mr. Johnson remains on the board of directors and will take as much of an active interest as he did while serving as presi aeni. ax me present time Mr. voimson is located in Clinton, his firm having opened a store there, however, it is believed he will be back in Newberry very soon. MeDaniel Reelected , Mr. C. P. MeDaniel, who has been serving as secrteary since August of last year, was elected to succeed h'ai- ^ self. Mr. MeDaniel has worked faithfully during.his stay in Newberry, taking into consideration the fact In a lioo /. ? - * vitf*v lieu iiau a vcxjr J/CTiUU in which to accomplish rfesults. Mr. McDaniel states that he will devote every effort within his power to the work of the organization during the coming year, and in return will expect the undivided cooperation of every member of the organization. He must have the cooperation of the membership if the organization is successful. It ?s needless to say that every member of the board of direct tors will back up the secretary in every effort put forth in interest of a greater Newberry, so it is up to the members to fall in line. Carpenter Elected Treasurer Mr. E. A. Carpenter, another prominent business man was elected to the office of treasurer, succeeding Mr. Hal Kohn, who resigned on account of pressure of other business.
