CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO OPEN INFORMATION BUREAUS Beth Tourists and Farmers to Be Benefited by the Opening of New Department Announcement is made that tha Newberry chamber of commerce plans to open a new department in connection with their regular routine n ' ' - -1 - - i. ? nt I ml .1' f 01 activities lUWiUU U1C Wi a greater Newberry city an\l county. The new department to be opened will be known as the Tourist's and Farmer's Information bureau, a department where the many tourists passing through Newberry c:n go and get detailed information concerning condition cf the highways throughout the country and the shortest, and best routes to various cities throughout the entire S^utn, arid where farmers can go and get information concerning diversified farming in all of its branches. In speaking cf the opening of this infnvnut.i'nn bureau Secretary Mc Daniel said: ''This matter was discussed at an official meeting of the, officers and directors held on Wednesday, August 16, and it w.is unanimously decided that this department should be opened at the earliest date convenient. "While we have maintained a farmers information bureau for some * r _ _ time, it is planned to add many lectures which will be of greater benefit to the farmers of Newberry and surrounding counties. Of course, this part of the work will be carried out in cooperation with the two demonstration agents who have offices in the same building and the direction of this work will be under the supervision of the agricultural committee of our organization and the two demonstration agents. "AS 10 me tourists niiuiui u ju bureau, it will be carried cut entirely under -ik- supervision .of. our organization. The need of this dc/partment has been felt for a Ion? time, in view of the fact that tourists and traveling men who puss through Newberry do not havs any place where they can go to get information such as will be given out by us. To give this department publicity, a large sign is being painted snd will be placed o.i the corner of Mr In and College streets on the side on the building occupied by Haltiwanger and Carpenter. This s.'^ji directs tourists and farmers to go-to the chamber of commerce for information." Citizens Shculd Cooperate Mr. McDaniel raid further that every citizen of Xe> <;erry should cooperate in. every possible way with this department and he urges them to do ro. When a tcurist stops and asks for information send him to the charr.'ber of commerce, likewise the farmers. The tourists will not only be given what information they desire. but will be told something of the many advantages offered in the city cf Newberry and in Newberry r-rmnrv A rpfristpv will hp knnl in the office and the name of every tourist seeking information will be registered, with a view of mailing to ! each of th,em printed matter concerning Newberry from time to time.

FURCELL CLAIMS FIELD OF COTTON NO V/EEVIL t i i But If the Inscct Should Strike i Grown Boll Then Lcok Out? , Worse Than Tire Punctures i i I 1 Col. C. J. Purcell claims that the boll weevil hasn't got his cotton. The -boll weevil has got lets cf other people's cotton and is going to get ai! the cotton bel'ci'e he is done with his job. We hope not, but Col. Pur-cell s field may yet be like a field of cotton near the home of the reporter. The field is situated just# beyond Mr. Jno. A. Lindsay's, colleger ard. Mr. Geo. P. Hill, living near '.y, has been occupying some of his time going through the patch looking for punctures. Week after week he couldn't find a puncture. The cotton was large and growing beautifully w.'th its weli developed bolls, ail seemingly weevilless, the lovely <.;reen sikeen of the unpanctured bolls being well pic ising to the eye. Other people's cotton was ruined by the bad boll wicked weevil. All around, everywhere it seemed, the dreaded ^ thing was getting in its work of ruin. Not so, in this particular and favored field, where the prospect was promising up to about two wee'vs ago., when, - * * ' * /-v t -?T TT'll io and beftold. une aay ivir. nin saw a puncture. The weevil had started' to take possession of that patch. He was there with both feet. The wee-. vil has charge. Col. Purcell had better lock for punctures in his cotton boils. Punctures in cotton bolls are worse than punctures in automobile tires. , WEST END DEFEATS LEXINGTON AND LAURENS '* West End made it four for the week by winning Friday and Saturday.

GET ACQUAINTED MEETING CHAPPELLS NEXT THURSDAY One Hundred Cars to Go From Newberry Loaded With Newberry Merchants and Business Men Friday a committee from the retail trade committee cf. the Newberry chamber of commerce, consisting of McHardy Mower, Miss T. E. Salter and Hal Kohn. went to Chappells and met with a committee from that town locking towards arranging a scrt of friendship or get-better-acquainted gathering in Chappells so that the people of this city could go up there and meet the folks cf Chcppells. A good meeting was held in Mr. Coleman's cctton o?ice with representatatives from the different business houses of Chappells attending. The object of the trip was explained and heartily approved by all and arrange ments were maae to na\e uie meeting Thursday, the 24th, at 4:00 p. m. It is hoped by the retail trade comnrttse to have at least one hundred cars go up from Newberry, each one full of pecpie, to meei with the Chappells people. It is thoroughly understood that there will be no business discussed, at least Newberry is 'carrying none of her problems to V>nf r>nn iri (' tlT V^llcippciio, UUl; v/ uv w* J realizes that this city must be up ani doing if the volume of business from Chappells is diverted this way. Just Thursday it was noted that the creamery frcm Greenwood was making a collection of cream bought prior to this trip. Certainly this business and much other should be encouraged to ccme to the county seat and th<i people of the Chappells community feel very friendly towards their county scat, yet much remains to be done before the flow is directed t Newberry, and a few trios of ac quaintvjncc will do more tnan anything else to cement the two towns -together-. At , the._ gathering there will be no great flow of oratory, yet each place will have some 0.12 to say a word of welcome and appreciation. Another committee visited vVKitmire Friday and held an enthusiastice conference with representatives from that piace. Messrs. ]?. A. Carpenter, Marvin Summer and C. P. McDanicl made this trip and they reported a fine gathering with v.uch enthusiasm. They did r.ot arrange for a general gathering, bur plan t.n do so at y later dat;?. 1 h 2 plan of the retail trade committee is to make trip- to all of tY_- communities of this county and mevt ?vith the people and learn to know them bcti,2'\ The Unofficial mpfto -"f ihe r.?iail truce committee r.cems to lie "Get acquainted w'.th your neighbc", you may like him."

The event was n charge of County Agent Mills. Fhe boys came from all sections of :he county, but the majority of them ,vere from the Mt. Bethel-Garmany, D'Neall, Trinity and Midway clubs. The attendance was limited because )f weather conditions and "fodder" nulling. Mr. Mills was assisted in :he management of the camp by A. McKeown, district agent, and B. " D.

The second day the food was prepared by the boys and their leader according to the reguhr camp style. During the first 'day the time was spent in laying ball and pitching horseshoes. Two teams motored to Chapin and staged a baseball game, 1 ' ?- ?: J iu~ wnicn was greauy enjuyeu iuj wc youngsters. At evennig the princi- ^, pal feature of amusement was a 1 camp fire, staged at the picnic pavilion, a'round which the club boys enjoyed a most wonderful time, with music, songs and short talks furnishing entertainment. The Little Mountain school house was used as "barracks" for the clubsters at night. Most of them got to sleep not later than 2:00 o'clock a. m. The second day was largely taken up with the instruction course given by" Messrs. Mills, McKeown and Williams.

After the business session, which included the reading and adopting of the trcop constitution, a general discussion of matters pertaining to the welfare of the troop was indulged in by all members, after which the election of a patrol leader was called for Scout Emory Bowman receiving the greatest nunvber of votes was "elected patrol leader of the Panther patrol. John L. Epps is the leader of the Tigers. The troop was very for-, tun ate in having as its guests some very distinguished scouts from other troops who were called on for speeches. First Class Scribe Walter Mcintosh of Trcop 11, Columbia, responded in a very pleasing manner by saying that he was glad to be the guest of a troop where he felt at heme. Senior Patrol Leader Wra. Eddy of Troop 1, Newberry, was so pleased with the conduct and general demeanor of some members of Troop 3, that he offered to effect a transfer of this member to Troop 1. Needless to say his motion was ruled down immediately. During the social period of the program a race was conducted which caused much amusement for both the participants and the spectators. At the conclusion of the regular program the scoutmaster, Howard Oeerby announced that a drawing contest would be held and a pri?e given the winner. . Much excitement prevailed for the prize and method of drawing were both a secret. The prize, a box of Sunshine Dainties, was won by one of the visitors, First Class Roy Anderson, who very liberally dispensed "sunshine" to all present. Emory Bowman, Jr. bcriDe, rro lem.
