THE NEWBERRTHERALD And news.
The Newberry Agricultural and Me-

The Newberry Agricultural and Me-
chanicaI Association to be put In
Liquidation.
The Association met in the Court
House on last Monday in accordance
with the call issued ON End January, Mr..
Alan Johnstone in the chair, Mr.. G. S.
Mower, secretary. Upon the call OF the
roll quorum was not present, but men,
bers continued to come in and soon 151
shares were represented, 40 Icing ne
cessary to constitute quorum.
Mr.. J. NJ. Johnstone moved that the
directors be empowered and directed to
put this association in liquidation. The
treasurer stated that the debt of the
association was about $500, and that
there were about 80 in cash in the
treasury.
Mr.. j. E. Brown wanted fuller
statement. The President thereupon
stated that about twelve months ago
when the present board was elected the
debt of the association was $500 due the
Bank. That note was taken up and
another given including the interest and
the insurance on the property for an
other year. When this note became due
it was renewed including the deficit OF
the last Fair. It is now SAILS. The
association is also due Brown & Moseley
about $25 or $50 for lumber; the bill has
not yet been rendered, and premium
of 81 is still due. Also the insurance on
the property for about one month. The
assets of the association consist of the
y acre lot and the Fair buildings, and a
little personal property bill OF Brown
& Moseley for advertising OF $3.50, and
1924 in cash.
Mr.. R. l.. Mclaughlin offered as-an
amendment to Mr. Johnstone's motion
by adding the words sat such time and
place and on such terms as tUthem seem
best to the interest of the stockholders.
The amendment was accepted.
Mr.. Silas Johnstone moved to divide
the question and take the vote or that
part of the resolution which directed
the stockholders to put the association in
liquidation. Carried. Upon the call Of
the roll 145 voted aye and nay. The
nays were changed and the vote made
unanimous.
The other part OF the motion was then
carried without call Of the roll.
Mr.. Culbreath moved as amendment
to the original motion that the President
or Directors or any one or more OF them
may become purchasers. Carried. The
association then adjourned. It seemed
to be almost the unanimous opinion OF
the stockholders that the best thing to
be done was to close out the association
and pay the debts and divide the re-
mainder pro rata among the stockholders.
We suppose the stockholders will pro-
ceed at once to closing up the associa-
ton and will offer the property for sale
soon.
If the ladies were to take hold of
this thing, buy the property and organ
ize Fair Association they could
and would make it a success. We hope
they will think of it and probably they
can buy the property cheap and we be-
lieve they could make success Of it.
We believe that if the farmers hadtaken
as much interest in the association as
the farmers wives and daughters it
would have been successful. What say
our lady friends?

Many Of our farmers think that
the cold spell has ruined the wheat
crop. Oats was generally planted
earlier than wheat, and by having a
good root has stood the cold so far
without serious injury.
Rumors say that there will be a

Wonder if it is true and if so
whether newspaper correspondents
will get to masticate some OF the

The blizzard struck US with much

years. The thermometer has been
registered at four degrees above
zero.
Although our people are chilled
with. the cold spell they are raised to
a summer heat on the Columbia
Newberry and Laurens Railroad.
If the people are aroused all along
the line as they are here we feel con-
fdent that grading will commence
before spring sets in. 1t is the chief
topic of conversation IN this Sec

The oats crop is damaged badly
but can't say to what extent.
Nearly every family has lost the most
of their canned fruits during the cold
spell, and were compelled to eat what
they could or it would have spoiled.
If I were a young courting man I
certainly would visit my girl soon,
for she would give me ham pie to
eat in abundance.
