Columbia, Janury 1.--This is the first day of the new year. ''his year will round up the cent.ury. 'Ihe past year has been one of great indistrial progress in this State. All branches of industry have felt the good effects. In cotton mill building there has been great activity and more railroad has been built than for severtal years pre ceding. * - I would be delighted if it could be recorded that Newberry had built that other mill. I hope it, will coie this year. This year , houhtld a!so bring us sewerage and a k;nittin"g mill. l'nter prises of this kind are the things that build up1 at cotumiunity. a:tl the county in which they are located. x x .x.
