In the building in this section.” Mr. Kuester is one of the outstanding commercial secretar ies in the South and has a message that inspires all who hear him. Our own Commercial dub would do well if it could bring him here to address our TfusYnc Sifme’nr As aiready stated, the meeting was one of optimism. Newberry people believe in Newberry, and that’s the spirit that builds a city. The town has many outstanding assets. Standing in the forefront are its three splendid banks with deposits exceeding four million dollars, reflecting as they do, the stability and soundness of the com munity. Another striking thing about Newberry is its group of unselfish of Clinton. Dr. Jacobs was an out-[ Jea J",;* w ^ men of wealth give of stand mg factor dunng his long and their time and money to every under . honored and unselfish life spent here, and there are institutions and achieve ments we enjoy today that will stand as monuments to this great man and leader for all time. The period of forty years we have been covering, has come to a close and we are sorry that this column will not appear in the future. We know this announcement will bring regret to many citizens in Clinton and this sec tion, as well as to many others scat tered everywhere. From all parts of the country, and from scores of local citizens, The Chronicle has been com plimented on carrying this “old col umn” and many subscribers have told us of the genuine interest they derived from its perusal. We likewise* regret that the end of the chapter has been reached. It has been a feature of in terest and information to thousands «f people who have read it every week. Dr. Frank Crane Says—, DO NOT BE ASHAMED OF WORTHY AMBITION In Abraham Lincoln’s first political speech, he said to the voters'of San- gaman county: “Every man is said to have his par- | tieular ambition.

Roy Crawford SURVEYOR AN EVENING IN NEWBERRY It was the writer’s pleasure, along with W. D. Copeland and C. W. Stone, to attend the banquet-meeting of the merchants’ bureau of the Newberry chamber of commerce on Monday evening. The event had been carefully planned by Hal Kohn, J. P. Moon, E. A. Carpenter and P. M. Bryson, and the “City of Friendly Folks” gave a most cordial welcome to the number of invited guests present. The merchant What is your ambition?

DILLARD STOCKS - BONDS - REAL ESTATE LOANS NEGOTIATED members of the chamber of commerce have organized themselves into a bureau with the object in view of pro moting good fellowship, practicing high standards and business ethices, and putting their “heads together 1 for an intelligent consideration of the various problems that now confront all merchants. Such an organization with business conditions as they are today, will prove helpful in numerous ways and will contribute to the success and preservation of our mercantile in- . terests. The Chronicle has on several ; occasions pointed out the need of such a united effort right here in Clinton i but we have never heard of a merchant in our town who gave the idea a ser ious thought or of any effort that has been made in that direction. Our mer chants are stani'ng in their own light, and making it all the harder to con duct their businesses by their lack of scores of other assets—and above all —a united, unselfish people working together as one for the building of a greater city and county. Clinton and many other towns as well, "may learn much from our sister city. This enterprising town is going forward and unless we are badly fooled, will not halt. Newberry is all right; it has never been any other way. One no longer needs to go through that city to find Prosperity. We congratulate our neighbor friends. Newberry’s future is bright. Its cit izens are united and at work. And tut is said—public-spirited, en ergetic business men are the forces that build a city. : En Passant \ Ambition of the right sort is one of, the most valuable characteristics of a worthwhile man. It is nothing to be ashamed of. The ready idea was put into words by one of the true gentlemen of the ii=ai=ii=j|=Ji==ii=ii=.ti=lr=^i=^i^i3i=lr=Jr=lr=li=- world. Sir Philip Sidney, who, in an age of hypocrisy wore the ideals of chivalry in his heart. “To be ambitious of true honor, of the true glory and perfection of our natures, is the very principle and in centive of virtue; but to be ambitious of titles, place, of ceremonial respects and civil pageantry, is as vain and j Little as the things are which we court.” STITIOIEIIY 0 W. W. H. ♦ Tight money makes business people have sober thoughts. Anybody know anything Congress did before it adjourned? Most advice is free, and that is the reason it is usually worth nothing. TWO SIDES—BOTH NEED The trouble is:. We don’t have time. We don’t havfe time to get acquaint ed with those who live around us and we don’t have time to get acquainted with ourselves. Just keeping the machinery of life going takes all our time. The two sides of our lives are the material and the spiritual. We can cave in on the spiritual side easier than we can on the material > side. We are propped up on that side with pointed props. We have to eat, and we have to pay for what we eat. | A Big Special Offer!

For several years past it has been rapidly forgoing ahead— not for a minute has it been satisfied to rest ea its oars. Today, there are few better business towns in the Piedmont section than Newberry. The merchants axe wide awake and are now putting oa aa ex pansion program to increase their trade territory and are going to capi talize on the enormous bower develop ment now under way just a few miles from their community.
