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

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.

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

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

—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.”
