Ma c B lettner, this day marks an .poch in the history of this city. For two years it has been our pleasure, I apeak when I say our, of your subordi uas 4lBers, to serve under you. We fee tbet we are to be congratulated on having had one like yourself as escbief offcial. We feel that we have not~ been derelict in our duty, because w] ave:not been reprimanded-not one et as-v you i those' two years.

Your subordi nate officers take pleasure this morning in saying to the outside world that you have made for this town a conscien tions, an upright, 1mnd an efficient ar.d A. T. BROwN-Aldermam Ward 2. honorable servant. Your~ sul ordinate officers say to the outside world that if Mayor Klettner has made a mistake, that mistake has been from the head and not from the heart, because, work-' ing as we have done in concert with him, we know that every act, that ev ery official breath, and every official thought has been for the best interests of the five thousand and upwards of citizens of this town, which it has been -his duty to represent. And in retiring from you we wish for you a happy and pleasant life; we wish for you and we pray for you God's speed in your onward voyage in life. Whatever may be your trials or your successes we beg you to remember that yon have gained, not only from your hearts of those whom you have served so efficiently, the "well-done, thou good and faithful servant." In presenting to you this we do not expect you to fill it with that which may make the brain wander, or which may cause you to do that which you would not otherwise do, nor do we expect you to fill it with that which is administered at the sacramental altars but whatever you may fill it with, or whoever may quaff it with you, we say to you, here is to you and yours, and may you both live long and prosper. MAYOR KLETTNER responded as follows: Mr. City Attorney, there are mo ments in a man's life when the tongue fails to express the emotions of the heart. You touched me once twelve months ago and left me speechless, when you presented me a Masonic rai ment, one which I shall ever highly ap preciate and retain in memory of those who have stood by me in trials and trcibles during my administration .in the year 1901. Againl am the recipient from your hands of this handsome token. It needed not this, for if I have gained your esteem, your love, and your confi dence, I have done as much as I ever expect to do, because I have enjoyed every moment that my administration has thrown me with you, and I am standing here today again, without be ing able - to find words in the proper form to thank you for this handsome I and valuable token. Going out of this office, I wish to say ;hat I have only endeavored to gain the admiration and the approval of those who placed me in this high and honora ble position. I can not say more. I again thank you for your kind esteem and consideration towards me. THE OATH TAKEN. ] It was exactly 12.30 when the oath of 1 t C {: ti VAN SMITH-Alderman Ward 3. ifice was read to the mayor and alder- t en elect by City Attorney Blease. 1 r. J. J. Langford, alderman from ward a ur, was not present oin account of ill- t ess, and he had already taken the oath o his home. fI Immediately ofter the* oath of office c as administered Mayor Klettner hear- a ly congratulated the new council, say- r g that he felt that the interests und tV elfare of the city of Newberry had t] een placed insafe hands, and it was b tith great satisfaction and gratification a hat his council now surrendered un- e p jn J.J.LNGOD-lera Warf4 Jvery iAnividatiennol Waro- . ectedsad rese d.hTriar and rsobs tacley ofreoffce all mayo nd,h adr md inescialf thoe city benjoteced re ~ponsible position. Trials and obstacles1 may come to you, but rest assured* hat in your administration your hands: will be held up by every law abiding* citizen in your every laudable and com rendable undertaking. He heartily commended his subordinate officers to the incoming council, and asked as a personal .vor, and in the interest of the whole city that they receive favor able consideration at the hands of the new council. In conclusion, he prayed. that the labors cf the new administra tion would be crowned wvith success. Mayor J. W. Earhardt spoke as fol MAYOR EARHARDT'S ADDRESS. Fellow-members of the city council: It is with some degree of diffidence that I take upon me the responsibility with which I have been clothed by the peo ple of Newberry. My predecessor, with the invaluable assistance of his aldermanic board, has for the past two years filled the office of mayor of this city acceptably and with ability. I shall try to do my duty as I see it, and with your encouragement and hearty cooperation, I hope to merit the well done of those whose servant I am. I have made no promises to any one; I )~~f~7 ?~YO~flt flIP very best service that within me lie$ My sole desire shall be, as it has bee in the past, the continued growth an development of the city of Newberr3 and it shall be my constant aim to er courage whatever will aid that growt and development. The whole world is imbued with th spirit of progress, and that nation c state or city which lags behind mu: be lost. For the past few years Nev berry has made rapid strides, and sh points with a just pride to the indu: tries and enterprises which have sprun up withiu her bounds, placing her i the front ranks of the cities of Sout Carolina. She loves the music of th hum of spindles and the clack of loom which greets her ears, for she has Ion since recognized the fact that to th cotton fields the cotton mills must com( that to the land of the greatest naturr resources the world must look for th J.

WE mist keep in touch with the spirit o: he New South. I shall strive to do my part. T< ,ou, gentlemen, I shall look for sup ort. Each of you represents a part 0 Tawberry. The affairs of your ward re entrusted to your keeping. I shal ot arrogate to myself the right or the uty to look after the local interest. f the separate wards. That is foi ou. And for the proper care of those nterests I shall look to you. It shall e mine simply, so far as within my ower lies, to attend to those matterE hich affect the city as a whole. O1 ourse, in a matter of this kind there an be no iron-clad rule. We shall all rork together and take counsel, one rith another. I have no cut and dried policy to out ne. I am going to enforce the ordi ances to the letter. If there is one hat ought not to be enforced rigidly, ought to be amended or repealed; nd if there be such, there is no fit tei ime for action than the present, at the utset of this administration. The nances of..the city are not in as healthy ndition as I would like to see them, nd our path -is not to be strewn with >ses. In the matter of expenditures 2ere is but one safe rule to follow; and at is the same rule which a prudent usiness man would follow in the man gement of his own affairs. At pres at there is a large outstanding debt, mounting to several thousand dollars, a which the interest is about eight er cent. At some time in the very ear future I propose to submit to the tizens a plan for issuing bonds and mding this debt, for the purpose of ~ducing the interest, and, by retiring ie bonds, gradually wiping out the In conclusion, I pledge my heart and and in any work which looks toward e moral and material advancement of e city which we have the honor to present. May we work together har Loniously and with an eye single to its 'elfare. May we be true to the trust 'ithin us reposed. I now declare this council ready for 1e transaction of any business which ay properly come before it. The Vote for Queen.
