WAT. rEWBRBtY NBBDbS. A Board of Trade or Board of Commerce to Look to the.dty's Interests. The business men of Newberry needs to awake to the interests of their city and see that it is corning to the front and keeping up with other cities of its size in the State and throughout the South. We read in our exchanges from neigh boring towns where the Board of Trades or Board of Cornerce of those towns are holding meetings and taking up and advocating movements that will benefit their city and, of course, themselves. This is what Newberry needs, and why is it that some wide-awake citi zens do not take the initiative and call a meeting to organize such a board. There are several things right at this time which such a body could take up and by agitating put on foot movements that would, in the end, result in much good for Newberry. For instance, there is but little doubt, if we had a Board of Trade and the matter of a union depot, which is at the present time a pressing need for the convenience and accommodation of the public, was taken up, it would re sult in one being erected, or the coming together of both roads in such a move ment. - Then again the subject of steel bridges across Scott's creek, near the depot, to take the pla.ce of the danger ous and sightly trestles now there, could be taken up and presented to the railroads, which might result in the erection of new bridges-meaning an expenditure of several thousands dol lars here and something that would prove an ornament instead of an eye sore. Then there is the much talked of Bell Telephone question, in the solution of which a Board of Trade could do much. Some of these things do not come properly before a city council for solu tion. Their duty is to make and exe cute the laws-and in taking up these questions often times it reacts against the object aimed at, and results in defeat of what would be best for the city. People generally revolt at the idea of even having the appearance of being driven to do a thing. A Board of Trade in a city could do much by having different committees of business men appointed to talk up and gather information on all subjects and keep an eye-single to the upbuilding of the city, and in the end result in lasting and untold improvements. Let Newberry try it! Who will call a meeting of the citizens and organize the Board? PROSPERITY NEWS. All the Local News of a Live Town--Trans fer of Real Estate--Personal and otherwise. Prosperity, S. C., January 21.-Miss Marie Bobb, after spending the milli nery season in Marion, S. C., has re turned home.

This doubtless means a rebuilding of that part of town, and in this we all rejoice. Ministerial Association at Prosperity.I On Monday evening Jan. 12th the ministers of Prosperity .met and or ganized a Ministerial Association.

John Suber and John Coleman, both colored, were sent to the county chain gang yesterday for thirty days each, by the mayor, having been convicted of petty larceny.

One of the Oldest and Most Respected Citi zens of the County-He Will be Missed Not Only at Home But Through out the State-Buried at Beth lehem Yesterday. The sad news was received in New berry Wednesday morning of the death of Col. Thos. W. Holloway at his home at Pomaria Tuesday night at 11 o'clock. Col. Holloway had been suffering more qr less with rheumatism since last fall, having had a severe attack last October. A great deal of the time lately he had been confined to his room, but on Monday he was up and walking about. Tuesday night at 11 o'clock, unexpectedly, he died. The following sketch of Col. Hollo way is taken from the Columbia State, of the 21st. "Col. Tom Holloway was one of na ture's noblemen; no finer South Caro linian ever lived. His friendship was undying. His devotion to his State was part of his existence. He stood for all that was high and elevating. For sev eral years conditions were such that but for Col. Thomas W. Holloway the State fair would never have been in existence today; there were times when the Fair society was Thomas W. Hol loway. "Col. Thomas W. Holloway was born in Newberry county March 28, 1829. His school advantages were limited, but by wise and careful self-culture he has acquired a ready and accurate knowledge of the English language, and accumulated a large fund of useful information on general subjects. "At the age of 15 years he was bereft )f father and mother, and was com pelled to rely upon his own efforts to mupport himself and to prepare for ife's duties. "In 1846 he went to Columbia and en ,aged himself as a clerk in a grooery store, until the Columbia and Green ville railroad was built, 25 miles from Columbia, where he was placed in 3harge of the freight department. The road being continued to Newberry, he was traniferred to that place as agent, but at that time he was too young to rive a bond. "In 1852 Mr. Holloway was elected !ashier of the Bank of Newberry, which position he held until he pur thased a farm at Pomaria in 1855, en raging at the same time in meachan lizing and farming. Thesformer busi iess he continued until 1890, while also iving his attention to the supervision )f his farm, of which he was very fond. "He has employed his unwearying energies in his spare time in perform ing the pressing duties of secretary of the State Agricultural and Mechanical Society of South Carolina. "Col. Holloway was a member of Po naria-Grange, No. 27, K. of H., at its 3rganization, and the first worthy mas ber. The State grange was organized .n 1873, and he was the worthy steward intil 1877, when he was elected secre ary, which position he held until that rder was superseded by the Alliance. "Col. Holloway became a member of ~he State Agricultural and Mechanical Society of South Carolina at its organ zation in 1858, and was head clerk un ler the late secretary, A. G. Summer, mnd also under Robert G. Gage, who succeeded Col. Summer, until the War Between the State. "In 1869 the society was reorganized with Gen. Johnson Hagood as presi lent and the late I). Wyatt Aiken as secretary. Under this organization Mir. Holloway held the position of head alcrk until 1874, when Col. Aiken de :lined re-election, and Mr. Holloway succeeded him as secretary and treas irer. Owing to the increased work of the two positions the twvo offices were livided a few years ago, and he has for many years been secretary alone. "Under his judicious management the State fairs have been a series "f progressive successes. Col. Hollow..y has repeatedly received the merited :listinction of being most aggressive and best qualified secretary in any of the States. "Col. Holloway has been twice mar :d. By his first union he has three children and 14 granchildren. His sec Dnd wife is still living, as are their two children, a son and (laughter. "His faith was in connection With the Lutheran church, and he has been a member of the board of trustees of Newberry College for many years. By his active interest in this institution, and in other ways, he showedl himself the friend and patron of higher educa t.ion. "his course in life was, in a large measure, dlirectedl by the advices andl ex amp)le of the learned and pious Chief Justice Belton O'Neall, of whom he was a protege."~ The funeral was held at Bethlehem church yesterday morning at 11 o'clock, of whici. church Col. Holloway was an earnest andl consistent member and officer. Col. Holloway was the father of Mrs. Edw. R. Hlipp andl H. C. HIol loway, Esq., of this city, who with the o)ther members of his devoted family, have the heartfelt sympathy of the en tire citizenship of the county in this their sorest trial.

SPECIAL REPORT OP SUPBRINTBNDBNT EUGENB S. WBRTS. A Review of What Has Been Done During His Administration, and What Needs to be Done to Help the Schools. The following report of Superinten dent of Education Eug. S. Werts, is taken from the annual report of the State Superintendent of Education: Notwithstanding my efforts to raise the standard of education in my county, I have met with some difficulties which held in check somewhat, the progress that might otherwise have been real ized. UNIFORM TEXT-BOOKS. One of the most noticeable of these difficulties, perhaps, was the adoption of new text-books in the schools. I found in my efforts to enforce the law respecting the "New Adoption" that in many of the schools there were pa trons who felt financially indisposed to comply with such a wholesale change of books. As a result the enrolment throughout the county was greatly di minished. This difficulty, however, has been met successfully, and I am glad to say that every school in the county has fallen in the line of advance ment and is now using a uniform set of books. TEACHERS IMPROVED. I am gratified to note that in the last two years the teachers have attained a marked degree of efficiency, and, as a whole, have done very faithful, efficient and most satisfactory work. It is evi dent, however, that in order to secure the services of the most competent and expert teachers there must be an in crease of salary, such as will warrant the employment of such teachers. I am glad to state that the salaries for teachers in Newberry County for the past two years have increased some what, and there are now few teachers in the county who receive less than thirty dollars per month for a term of six to nine months. CERTIFICATING TEACHERS. In pursuance of my desires to raise the standard of education and secure a more thorough and efficient corps of teachers, it has been my aim and pur pose always to be very careful as to the grading of examination papers and thus allow no persons to receive first grade certificates except those who are justly entitled to and worthy of the same. TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION. We have a Teachers' Association 'hat meets the second Saturday in every month. By this means of bring ing the teachers in contact with one an other much good has been accomplished in the way of educational progress. Our association is neeting with marked success, and I feel proud of the fact that I have conducted so successfully such an important organization in my. county. I think, to promote the cause of education, every county in South Carolina should have some kind of teachers' association. SCHOOL HOUSES. As a whole, the school houses are good, and I think wvill compare with those of any of the counties of the State. Many of them are new and well equipped with modern improve ments in the way of patent desks and other school furniture. There are still a few old school houses in the county that I hope very soon to have removed and have erected in their stead mor~e modern and up-to-date buildings. In this connection, howvever, it is pleasant for me to note that in the town of Pros perity there is soon to be erected a handsome and well equippledl school building that will add honor andl credlit to the town. I am always glad to en courage such enterp)rises of this kind. NEED MORE MONEY. One of the greatest needs resp)ecting our educational facilities here in the South, is more money. We must have it before we can ever hope to educate the great mass of cur people. One of the best plans for obtaining more mon ey, now in op)eration, is the levying of a special tax for the ~schools. There are at p)resent ten school districts in my county that have a special levy of two mills, and 1 should be glad indleedl if all school dlistricts in the county would adopt this plan of advancing the educational interests of the ir respect ive schools. NEED OF COMP'ULSORY EDUCATION. Trhere is one more very important feature I should like to include in this report, and that is the irregularity on the pare of p)arents in sendling their children to school. Although t he plan of our educational system is by no means an ideal one, it (does seem that parents might make the proper use of what opportunities are afforded them under the present system, and send( their children to school as regularly as possible. I am convincedl that if pa rents are uInder obligations to their children in one resp)ect, they are so in all respects. Since the Ruling Power of the Universe has blessed man with Children, iIe did it that they might he brought up in such a wvay as to be most useful to their country, and glorify Hlim. To this endl it is necessary for our children to be educated, and, as the head of education in Newberry County, I hope to see some kind of law enacted that will require parents to sendl their children to school. IIOP'E FOR Till. FUTTURE. It shall he my lan in the next term of my administration to continue my same line of advancement, and by the end of the next two years I hope tc realize marked and wonderful progresh in the schools of Newberry County. 1 hope to make Nwhnery econnd to nonn n the State in respect to her educa tional interests. For fear of indulging too long on this review I shall now close with thanks and sincere praise for the very valua ble and high-toned way in which you have conducted the affairs of education in South Carolina during your term of office. I am sure, in going out of oflice, you carry with you the honor and re-' spect of every true citizen of South Carolitna. Hoping that this report may be of . benefit to you, I am, Very truly, Eug. S. Wetts. A Coming Marriage. Cards are out announcing the mar riage in the Central Methodist church of this city, Thursday, February 5th, at high noon, of Mr. Davis Mott Wells, a prominent traveling man of Columbia, and Miss Sara Lane, of this city. Mr. Wells has been coming to Newberry for several years, and has made many strong friends among our citizens. Miss Sara is the only daughter of Mrs. Harriett Lane, and her circle of friends is large, all of whom join in extending congratulations in advance of the hap py event. The German Friendly Society. Mr. H. A. Meyer returned yesterday from Charleston, where he had gone to attend the one ' -indred and thirty seventh annual dinner of the German Friendly Society at the Freundschaft Buind Hlall, of which he is a member. Mr. Meyers reports a most delighdful time, having the very best of every thing imagionable to eat and drink, and the very best of music. Mr. Meyer states that. )r. Geo. 11. Cromer, of this city, was the orator of the occasion, and says that the :peach of Dr. Cro mer on this occasion was one of the grandest he ever heard. Mr. Meyer was delighted with the trip. The Auditor's Rounds. Auditor Cromer or an authorized agent is now making a tour of the county for the purpose of taking tax returns. le will be glad for as many as possible to meet him at each appointment. HIis appointments are as follows. At Jolly Street January 24th. At Sligh's January 26th. At O'Neall's January 27th. At Si. Lukes .January 28th. At Prosperity January 29th and 30th. And at New berry until F'ebrutary 20th, On account of the very inclement weather Auditor Cromer was unable to meet his appointment at Maybinton, but will be at this place on the 2nd day of February. Letter to Wm. Johnson, Newberry, S. C. I)ear Sir:--Would you like the agency of Devoc Lead and Zinc paint-- -the "Fewer-gallons; wears-longer" paint? It is fair to tell you that it is going to lessen the amount of paint sold in your town for each job; but is is going to more-than-double the satisfaction that peCople have found in other paint; and the dealer that secures our agency is going to increase his business by get ting more jobs. It has never failed to do it. W. H. Arnold & Co., Watervillle, Miine, bought $105 of DevoL leadl and1 zinc in 1898. In 1901 they bought $1 155. D)oing Brothers of Lowville, N. Y., bought $29 in 1899. In 1901, $1991. Fowler & Sellers, White Plains, N. Y. --1898, $166; 1901, $1762. Leggett & Peddie, Glens Falls, N. Y. -1899, $382; 1901, $379G. Write to them.
