About the Steam Laundry.

An effort was made some time ago by some
citizens to get up a steam laundry III New
berry. Now is their time-the Laurens Laun-
dry is for sale.-Newberry Observer.
Laurens will be pleased to have a
good citizen of Newberry buy the iaun-
Grv. settle at Laurens and run it. Any
how the laundry is a fixture at Lau-
rens, is now running on full time and
will be when next heard from. More
over, it is prepared to do any amount
of work for the Newberry people at the
lowest rates to their entire satlsfac-
.-Laurens Advertiser.
The Herald andNews was one ofthose
interested in steam laundry for New
berry. A meeting was held and a COM
mittee appointed to investigate the cost
and the probable expense of operating,
and also to see what amount OF stock
could be raised. Two Of that commit
tee visited Laurens and subscription
PAPERS were started. The committee
has not vet reported. 1t was thought
best by some to defer the matter for a
while. The committee expect 10 make
up their report soon and submit 1t to
those who are interested in the enter
prise, and if it is thought that the laun-
dry can be successfully operated there
will be no trouble to raise the money.
If it is not thought best to build the
laundry why it will not be undertaken.
The Herald and News would like to
see a steam laundry built in New berry.
In fact we are always ready and will
ing to help in the erection of any in
dustry that will benefit our town and
community, and will continue to en-
courage all such enterprises.
We are glad to learn that the Lau-
rens laundry is still Gin the ring" and
that it is a fixture in Laurens.

Now for Taxes.

Treasurer Boyd completed his rounds
of the county on last Thursday at
Prosperity. He is now at his office at
Newberry ready to receive your taxes
and will remain there until the books
are closed. At Prosperity he collected
81, l,3S7.62, about as much as be collected
at all the ether appointments in the
county.
Mr.. Boyd received taxes from Mr.. NJ.
Boland OF that section. There is moth
ing remarkable in this, but fifty years
ago Mr.. Boland paid taxes in New
berry to Mr.. Boyds father. who was
then tax collector. Mr.. Boland's taxes
this year were S20.4O. He says he has
now about the same property that he
had fifty years ogo. His taxes then
we're 81 cents. Those we're good old
davs when we did not have much
governmental expense. Then property
has increased in value.
