HARVEY ALMOST h; EXCEEDS SPEED LIMIT . f< jcJust a little more speed and a great; e distinction would have come to Mo- jt: torcycle Officer H. J. Quattlebaum on a last Thursday afternoon. But the c car wasn't traveling quite fast ? enough. But it did move along with n enough rapidity to cause Officer' Quattlebaum to warn the travelers. i: His excellency, Governor Wilson J* G. Harvey, accompanied by Dr. S. F.n rr?ii' i' inr i it ? t: ?- 1 tvunngswortn ana .ur. v>. a. nanisne g :)f Columbia, were on their way from c Colunvoia to Pelzer, and when be- a tween Little Mountain and Prosper- in itv, tempted by Newberry's good ai roads, the chauffeur opened up just n a little bit. Officer Quattleliaum n thought perhaps that the occupants of n car, who were not knwon to him, did r< not know that the '-peed laws were; n" strictly enforced in Newberry and be-'tl took himself to give a little warning tl in aavance. ne rotie up to me car," and asked the driver: "Do vou know tl i the speed law in this county?'' Dr. Killingsworth, who was on the front a seat answered, "I don't but Governor rr Harvey back there should know it." jy Governor Harvey pleasantly told the t] officer that he thought he knew and ; tl hoped the law was not being violated.; w The officer said. "Well, vou are iret-! r tin^r pretty close to it, and you had; better not go any faster." The gov-j *. ernor promised and the party went on 1 " jti5 way. < The next day Officer Quattlebaum ^ 1 received a letter from the governor,' commending him for his courteous . i ' o way :n giving proper warning to trav-i elers and at the same time carrying' V out the law. j ' Governor Harvey and party stop-' ? i_:i, \r...... . c ped lor a lime want* m ->c\\ wirx i >.

The most pleasing feaire of it all is that ail tho various ommittees organized to date have tken hold oi the work in a most enf lusiastic manner and a one hundred er cent attendance at all the meetlgs was recorded; Despite th? fact that work of the rganization was seriously handicap<->,1 In y>ivwjr t V? ?

Perhaps the most outstandig feature of their work is the esibiishment of the Newberry Creamry which is already being looked upn as Newberry county's most valuble asset. Numerous other things re listed in their accomplishments? ie establishment of an advertising nd solicitation bureau, a credit bueau and the diversified farming camaign which was launched during the lonth of September, 1921. This ampaign proved to be a great suc > ess in every particular, in view ui le fact that during the winter of 921-1922 there were more cover rops in Newberry county than ever i the history of the county and that adav diversified farming is more evient than ever before. Other accomplishments of the organization during ie past year can not be listed on acount of lack of space. With the organization of all the ^ ^ ^ Vi f Vi o KamivI r\ 1* /-liVPr* U Illim uoctra w ini-u nit uvu <. >/? u..^_ 3rs have in mind there is no doubt s to what can be dene during the smainder of the year 1922 and the ear 1923. The committees which ave been organized to date are as allows: Advertising and solicitation ommittee, streets and sidewalks ommittee, retail trade committee, affic and transportation committee, gricultural committee, credit bureau ommittee, public health committee, ood roads committee, cemetery comlittee. Committees to be orzanized with1 the next few weeks are as follows: Imployment committee, entertainlent committee, parks and playrounds committee, city beautiful ommittee, educational committee nd an industrial development com litltee. As soon as these committees re organized others will follow. It li^rht Je said that the organization is ot appointing any "standing'' comlittees, as each committee will ibe squired to meet regularly each lonth anj render monthly reports to ie board cf directors of the work ley have done during the month and 'ork which they have outlined for ie future.

Several Newberrians who ; were out of the city have returned in ! order to be here for the events. "Ev-; i erything will be absolutely free ex-i cept the two ball games, to which a email admission is charged. The auto rides to the games will take place ! at 10:15 and 4:15 with cars leaving the public square at those hours. All those who do not hava ride can get a "lift" bv gathring at the Legion | hall steps at these hours. All car owners are asked .by the car commit toe to drive by the square and pick up a load. i Probably the events which will be attended by the largest crowd will be the firemen's exhibition and other events taking place from 2 until 4 on the public square. Music during these hour? will be furnished by the Oakland and West End bands, while Moljlohon band will give a concert on the i square in the morning from 9:30 until ] 0. During the day three bands will furnish music and those who like ' band music will have a treat on the fourth. The watermelon eating con-i test and the battle royal will probably be the most amusing events of the day with the sack and three legged race pushing them for first place as fun makers. Splendid prizes will ;be offered in each event. The most beautiful thing of the celebration will be the tableaux which will be given on the portico of the Legion hall at 8:30. Newberry's finest tableaux artists are working out these attractions and they should draw immense crowds. Following them will come the fiddlers convention and old ? J lime square aanee. PRESIDENT OBREGON SAYS ' REPORTS ARE BASELESS i Washington, June 29.?Mexican rebels who seized the Aguada camp of the LaCorona Oil company in the Tampico region Sunday, holding the property and forty American employees for 15,000 pesos ransom, withdrew on Monday without damage or injury to the employees but witn threats to return, Consul Shaw at Tampico today advised the state department. A later message said the same rebels yesterday seized a camp of La Corona Oil company, a DutchBritish concern, in the same vicinity and were holdig 85 employees including about six Americans. The dispatch did not indicate whether ransom had been paid in the case of the Aguada camp which is an American owned concern. On the strength of the second message sent last night the state department directed the embassy in Mexico City to make new demands on the Mexican government for protection of the Americans employed by the DutchBritich company. San Francisco, Calif., June 29.? President Alvero Obregon of Mexico in a telegram to the San Francisco Chronicle asserted that news from Tampico of Americans held captive by bandits was "absolutely baseless." He characterized the dispatch as "only one of the many malicious deeds to create unfavorable opinion between the two nations." The Chronicle telegraphed to Presidet Obregon, asking for a statement a-2 to conditions at Tampico and the truth of reports of Americans held for ransom. i His answer read: "As chief executive when I received your dispatch I knew that the news to which you allude is absolutely baseless and is only one of the many malicious deeds of perrons whcse intentions are inimical to interests of Mexico. However, to satisfy publicopinion I telegraphed to the chief of operations at Huaeteca for complete information, I herewith submit the telegraphic communications: " 'General Guadalupe Sanchez, Chinconcillo. " 'I see that the papers of the United States publish in scandalous form a report from Tampico announcing: that 40 Americans have been taken captives and held for e il.. I4. ransom iroiu uit: caps at .*-i?uaua uc La Cortez Oil company by the bandit Gorozave and although I feel positive that this report is one of the many painful means used by the enemies of Mexico to bring about difficulties bA tween the two governments and to create animosity between the two nations, I want your official advice for submission to the press. " 'Alvaro Obregon'." ' His reply: " 'Chinconcillo, June 28, 1922. " 'The President of the Republic: " 'Up to the present time, no agency of any oil company has presented complaint in regard to the taking of prisoners of 40 Americans. I made inquiries of General Juan Casiano, superintendent of the Cortez Oil company, who was in the barracks yesterday afternoon. He informed me that rebels had been near the Aguada La numa ana r?i rtosmo camps. 1 immediately ordered General Portas to proceed to the vicinity of those camps with orders to pursue and run down the enemy.

BANKS OF COUNTY TO HELP FARMERS BUY COWS Farmers Urgen to See Their Banker and Make Necessary Arrangements Immediately The banks of Newbery county have agreed to help reliable and responsible farmers of Newberry county purchase cows, according to an announcement made public today by the agricultural committee of the Newberry chamber of ccmmerce. This committee has conferred with all "bankers of the county on the subject, and with but one exception all of them have agreed to do everything possible to assist the farmers to purchase cows in order that they may 'be in position to furnish cream to the Newbersy creamery, which enterprise is now in full operation. The establishment of the creamery in Newberry means mare than can be said in this article ?vvard fighting the boll weevil, for if every larmer f in the county will milk two or three cows and sell the cream to the creamery and feed skimmed milk to tne hogs and chickens and make proper use of the natural fertilizer tney get from the cows they will soon be m position to run farms on a cash and paying basis. Every farmer in the county who is interested in buying a few cows should see his banker at once and advise them of the number of cows they ^ want and make necessary arrangements about paying for them, 'ihe banks of the county who have agreed to assist in this proposition are as fol lows: Exchange Bank of Newberry, Commercial Bank of Newberry, National Bank of, Newberry, Bank of Whitmire, Farmers Bank of Chappells, Bank of Prosperity, People's iNationai Bank of Prosperity and the Farmers and Merchants Bank of Little Mountain. The banks afosoluteiy will not take chancer on buying a bunch of cows and selling them just as they can; every cow must be sold before it is purchased. As soon as a sufficient number are ordered to make a car load shipment the order will be placed. The banks which have agreed to 1 - - . * this proposition are to be commend- . ed for their act, for indeed they are giving assistance when it is most needed, and as stated above, all farmers should see their bank without delay. Mr. Joseph L. Bowies Mr. Joseph L. Bowles died at his residence in Harper street on Sunday 4, at one o'clock after a rather prolanged illness in the 80th year of his age. The funeral service will be held at the residence Tuesday at 2:45 o'clock ;ind interment will b^ had ill Aueus til, CiH. Mr. Bowles is survived by three sons, Mr. J. L. Bowles, Jr., of Philadelphia, Mr. Morris Bowles, Jacksonville, Fla., and Mr. Samuel Bowles of Miami, Fla. And by is widow who ibefore her marriage was Miss. May Boozer, a daughter of the late Samuel Boozer of Newberry. Mr. Bowles came to Newberry from Augusta, Ga., where he was engaged in the furniture business and f - 1 o fnrni. ior several ytraia <.uuuut.<.^u ? ture business in Newberry. Warm weather having arrived at Genoa, the economic conference adjourned. The world may not be growing better, but it certainly can't grow any worse. " A later communication follows: " 'President of the republic: " 'I have the honor to inform you that there has just arrived here from Ozuluama an automobile containing General Panuncio, two officers and three troopers, having passed through La Aguada, La Pluma and El Rosillc, They report everything is normal. " 'Guadalupe Sanchez.' "The above replies from the chief of operations tend to the certainty, 1 once more, thai there are powerful operations at work to create unfav- | orable opinion and animadversion be tween the two nations, with no otner object than to satisfy their own interests."
