Dr. Katzberg is staying for the present at the Hotel Wiseman. many of them and when the cars are cleared from the restricted side of the streets it is going to look like he devil in a bathing suit. Wouldn it be better to take the money the signs cost and hire an exra cop for a few months to keep these streets cleared? Certainly our people would not be long learning the re stricted zones. Newberry is too pretty a town to have these signs sticking up so conapiciously up and down Main street; it gives an im pression that our people are either dumb or unruly, and have to be kick ed in the shins before they under stand anything. I realize as much as anyone that the lot of the city fathers is a hard one but I question in this instance if they have £ proper appreciation of the reputa tion of Newberry as a beautiful city. Salley Named Pres. Of Newberry C of C The old and new board members of the Chamber of Commerce held : joint meeting at the Wiseman Hotel last Thursday night at 7:30, at which time 14 members were present I blamed it, 1 pay taxes, and I expect and enjoyed a delicious steak supoer. something for my tax money. You I bought a farm last fall with the hope that I would be able to help out with a few of the many short ages confronting our people, but have been stymied. I haven’t been able to get in and out of my farm on account of the roads. Several at tempts to carry on have resulted in my being bogged up to my fanny in the stickiest mud ever and J am about ready to give up. However, production at my farm goes on apace, I just can’t get it to market over that terrible road. Two years ago when hey were running for office the boys promised if 1 would vote their way they would fix any road I had or ever would have. I voted their way but I am stiil stuck in the mud. There are holes in my road big enough to put Guy Vender bilt Whitener’s skyscraper in and still leave room for Tom Harmon’s big mouth. White I languish in the mud my 6000 imported Arabian tumble bugs are rolling up production like no body’s business. I have mountains of little round pellets which would nourish the fine shrubbery about town if I could get it to market, but it is asking entirely too much to ex pect the bugs to roll the stuff four miles to town.

QUESTION: “Would you like to change from Eastern Stand ard Time to Day-Light Sav ing Time during the summer months?” JIM PERRY, Salesman: “I sure would, because I have lots of work I would like to do at home and the extra hour certainly would come in good.” MRS. FRANCES AMICK, Sales lady: “Well, I think so because af ter all we would have more time in the afternoons to do other things we would like to do.” FULMER WELLS: “I don’t care which way it is, but I certainly wish they would decide on one time and leave it alone.” MRS.

MISS EVA JAMES DAVIS, Sec. Nby. Ins. and Realty Co.: “It would make the evenings nice and long. It certainly would suit me. It would also be a big help for* those who would like to go fishing in the af ternoons.” JOHN LIN^BAY, Furn. Dealer: “I sure would. I favor that very much. I wish they would let it ... . rrr- —- .

The old order ohangeth, sayeth the preacher. Zach Wright’s stepping down as head man in the Newberry mill breaks a tie with the long past and so far as I know there is but one other such tie. Mr. J. H. Summer reaches back a few years further than did Mr. Wright. Hating change^ as I do I know that Mr. Wright* did not quit without a long ing glance into the past; thoughts of the men who helped establish the mill must have been present with him in the moments before he gave up the reins to another; his associa tion with the thousands of work ers, their joys and sorrows, must have been there to keep him com pany. “Mr. Zach” was loved—and trusted—by his people. They knew him; they knew pretty well how he would react to a given suggestion or proposition. They hate to see him go. They don’t know “the other man”, their new boss. They fear he will not be like “Mr. Zach”. The new owner will not amble about the vil lage calling men and matrons by their first names, nor pinch the cheeks of pretty maidens as was Mr Wright’s wont. Yes, they’ll miss “Mr. Zach” but not any more than he will miss them. They are a part of his life, his fortune. As the mornings come and go, I believe “Mr. Zach”” wil turn in stinctively toward “the mill”. I ven ture he will "do mox-e than turn. There is a lot of innocent fun in pinching pretty girls on pretty red cheeks, and calling 'out to folks a cheery “good morning.” Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Buddin and their daughter, Barbara, moved to Columbia Tuesday to make their home where Mr. Buddin has accept ed a position with the Veteran's Ad ministration at the Veteran’s hos pital. Mr, and Mrs. A. W. Murray and daughter, Faye, left Thursday for McRea, Ga., to spend the Easter holidays with Mrs. Murray’s par ents, Rev. and Mrs. A. D. Woodle. Zach F. Wright, for a little more than 40 years head of the Newberry Cotton Mills, resigned Monday at six o’clock turning over the affairs of the big mill to M. M. Clairmont the new owner. A short service was held on the occasion of Mr. Wright’s resigning. Judge Eugene S. Blease who hand led the legal end of the sale of the mill read Mr. Wright’s letter of resignation and commented that everything worked smoothly in the sale and that stockholders and em ployees of the mill would benefit. After reading the resignation Judge Blease' introduced Rev. V. L. Fulmer, dean of the ministers of West End. Rev. Fulmer spoke of the fine cooperation the churches of the village had always received from Mr. Wright. Mayor Dave Hayes assured Mr. Wright that his passing from the industrial scene did not in any way lessen his statue as Newberry’s No. 1 citizen. A. P. Salley, president of the Chamber of Commerce extended best wishes to Mr. Wright in future days. Dr. S. J. Derrick, long a director in the mill spoke of Mr. Wright’s personal life and worth to the com munity. He recalled that he spent an hour each week in Mr. Wright’s office when they talked of matters of community interest in which Mr. Wright was always interested. He concluded his remarks by reading a few lines of sentiment from “Auld Lang Syne”, J. Y. Jones, superintendent of the mill, told of the fine cooperation he received from Mr. Wright over the years, and Mrs. Maude G. Ross, new director in the mill, presented Mr. Wright with a vase of roses grown in the village. Mr. Wright, visably touched, responded to the compliments paid him, and thus concluded his long service with the institution which has meant so much to the business life of he city over the long years. Treasurer Closes Books With Few Delinquents Looking Down MEMORY Lane TWENTY YEARS AGO Birth of Daughter Bom to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Weir Sunday night, April 18, a girl, Dor othy Rebecca.
