THE c., c. & o. RAILROAD.
Newberry Has Good Opportunity to
Secure It-Needs Cooperation
of Citizens

The question has been asked what
are the chances Of the c., c. & ..
railroad coming through Newberry.
Fer the benefit Of those who are in
terested. and | presume every citizen
is interested, will say that We have i
fair chance and with proper efforts on
the part Of the citizens we may be
able to secure this road. A commit
tee from the chamber of commerce
has had this matter in charge and has
been in communication with the presi-
dent Of the road. No definite infor-
nation, however, has been obtained.
This committee had an interview with
the chief surveyor of the road while
a line was being surveyed on the west
bank Of Broad river and they were as
sured that line would be surveyed
running from Spartanburg through
Newberry to Columbia. I understand
that this work is being done now.
There is no need for ne to impress
upon the citizens the Importance Of
securing this road. It will mean a
great deal to us and if this is lost it
may be that we will never have an
other opportunity Of getting trunk
line.
This matter will be discussed at a
meeting Of the chamber of commerce
Friday night. If YOU are in favor Of
making an effort to get this road
come to the meeting and help devise
some plan whereby we can secure it..
The success Of this undertaking de-
pends upon your efforts and not the
other fellows.

President Chamber Of Commerce.

say that it is one of the best ever

ightful speaker and he always
charms his hearers. President Harms
in this connection informed rep
resentative of The Herald and News
that there will be no more applaudins

a good move on the part Of the facul-

GOOD COLLECTIONS.
Treasurer Epps Has Collected SO IL
Per Cent Of the Taxes Charged
Tax on Incomes.

County Treasurer John L. Epps has
closed his tax books for the collection
of taxes for the year 1908, after hay
ing collected with the penalty up to
the 18th Of March, and the execution
book has been made up, and the exc
cutionS turned over to the sheriff.
Newberry has the reputation Of
paying her taxes very nearly up to
the amount charged. One year Mr..
Epps collected ninety-nine per cent
Of the amount charged against him by
the auditor. He does not come up to
that mark this year, though the per-
centage collected is n1nety-eight and
a half.
A good portion Of the uncollected
tax is included in what is termed ad-
ditionals. and is, those who did not
assess and are put on the books after
the assessing is closed.
The total tax charged against the
treasurer on the books for the year
1908 was 11,723.38. Of this amount
Mr.. Epps collected 109, ,434.43.
The comptroller general is making
an effort to have the income tax law
enforced and it may be interesting to
state the amount collected last year
from this source. There were only
nine persons in Newberry who paid
income tax for 1908 and the total
amount paid by these was $207.15.
Under the law all persons whose in
comes exceed $25O0 are liable to the
tax on the incomes in excess Of
$250O. Those who paid this income
tax last year were Geo. B. Cromer,
on 1926; ". H. Hunt S2376; George
Johnstone on $3.50; O. B. Mayer on
$3.50: George S. Mower on $500: Y.
J. Pope on $500; Geo. ". Summer on
$4,000: E. B. Wilbur on $767; z. F.
Wright on $5116.
The only persons who have return
ed an income tax for this year are
DR.. O. B. Mayer, Geo. S. Mower, Geo.
". Summer. E. B. Wilbur, and z. F.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Annual Meeting to be Held Tonight
Election of Officers
Attend.

About three years ago the chamber
Of commerce of Newberry was organ
lied, the object of which was to pro-
mote the industrial interest and as
sist in the development of the resour-
ces Of the town and county. A great
deal has been done but there is a
great deal vet to do. Enough has
been done. however, to show the I'M
portance of such an organization. Ev-
cry live town has a chamber of conf
merce or a board Of trade.
At the meeting to be held Friday
night important matters will be dis
cussed and every member should be
present. There will be some changes
in the constitution proposed and as
this is very important it is hoped that
every member will be on hand to dis
cuss the matter.
Another important matter to be
brought before the meeting is one in
which everybody is interested, name
ly, the c., C. & G. railroad. Some
efforts have already been made to
bring this road through our town but
We should not be satisfied until ev-
erything is done to accomplish this
end. The Importance of this matter
cannot be emphasized too strongly 50
come to the meeting and Its organ
ize a movement in which every one
will help.
Please remember that the election
of Officers will take place at this meet
ing Friday, March 26th, at $50
o'clock.

DEATH OF PIONEER.

The death Of Julius Hardell occurred
Wednesday evening at his home, 405
Chicago Ave, resulting from a stroke
of paralysis. The funeral services
were conducted Saturday at the home
by Rev. f. Werhahn, after which the
remains were taken to the town of
Berlin Lutheran church, where a
funeral sermon was preached by Rev.
Koepp, interment being made in that
town.
Deceased emigrated to this country
with his parents when he was quite
young, the family settling in Fond
du Lac county. Shortly afterward
they moved to this county, purchased
land in the town of Berlin and began
the work OF clearing farm, which in
those days was much more toilsome
than now. Mr.. Hardell continued to
reside in that town for great many
years When he had arrived at that
age when he was physically incapable
of conducting farm work, he decided
TO move into the city and live on the
fruits of his lapor, and this city had
been his home for the past several
years. He was sixty-nine years old
at the time of death.
He is survived by his wife and
seven children: Albert, John, Mrs.
Henry GaulZe and Carl, city; Mrs.
Fred Schuster and Leo, town of Ber-
lin; Mrs. A. Schmidt, Merrill.
