SEW ITS NEEDS.

SEWBERKI: ITS NEEDS.
We are all interested in Newberry,
whether viewed in its business rela-
tons, socially or morally. We are i'll
terested in its Success. There are many
things we need as town. We have
many good business. men, successful
business men. But some how or other
we feel at times that our business men
as 4 whole are not as progressive ana
enterprising as they might 3e. They
are not as much interested i'll the pro-
gress Of the city as they might be. 1t
is true our bank is ably managed and
stands we'll in the financial world. 1t
has been a success. Our cotton mill Is
doing we'll, and will prove paying
investment to the stockholders and has
already been of great benefit to the
town. Our Building and Loan Assocla-
ton has been Of great benefit to many
of our Young men and has so far been
we'll managed. This is only evidence
of what Newberry can do when our
business men determine to do any
thing and work together. But we
should not stop here. Now it is pro-
posed to organize a Board OF Trade.
Nearly every business man in NcWber-
rv has indicated his willingness tojoin,
and every one should join, and we hope
will l,and present tomorrow afternoon
and take part in the permanent Or
ganization and the adoption ola constl-
tuition and bylaws. Such an organiza-
ton can result in good only by our
business men taking an interest in it
and determining that it shall succeed
and then it will. There are many
things that ought to he done in New
berry. We have the natural advantages.
In fact we believe the town Of Newber-
ry is situated in one Of the most fertile
sections of country in the whole State
of South Carolina. Then why should
we not be the city of this section of the
State.
This is peculiarly an age in which to
succeed you must press your business
with an energy that is always awake.
This is equally true of town. We
must let the outside world know that
we have life within ourselves. Wemust
let it know our advantages and
that we are pressing forward. Our
business men should advertise. And
we do not wish to be misunderstood.
The Herald and News is not complain
ing. But it is a fact that many of our
largest business firms do not advertise
at all.
We heard a large business man say
the other day in talking of this subject
that in certain other city the news
paper of that city was always writing
it up and making a good show for the
city. 1t is true too that the business
men of this city aid this paper in its
work. We think we can say that the
two newspapers published in Newberry
compare favorably with any country
papers that come to this office, and we
can further say that they have ever
been ready to aid in any undertaking
or ENTERPRISE hat was for the good Of
Newberry.
The Herald and News will ever be
ready to lend its aid and influence to
any enterprise that is for the good OF
our town.
We need some small manufacturing g
enterprises. There is money enough
here to build them and these smaller
enterprises are the things that build up
a town. Such as broom factories, cam
ming factories, cotton seed oil mill,
spoke and handle factory, and many
such industries. We need less croaking
and complaining and evil prophecying
and less selfshness and a more united
effort for the building up of our town.
When we have these we will start Oh a
boom that will build us up with a
steady aud permanent growth. We
have good schools but good system of
graded schools would be Of incalculable
benefit to Newberry.
We believe there is a bright future
for Newberry if our business men will
work together for our advancement.
We have two important railroads
building for our town and being the
centre Of a fertile section, We should
build up rapidly, if we take hold OF the
opportunity.
