We desire again to call the atten-
tion of the people Of Newberry to
the fact that this is cleaning up week
in Newberry, and to urge upon them
that they assist the authorities in re-
moving all trash and cleaning up the
CITY. Next week is commencement
week, and Newberry ought to be made
as attractive as possible to the many
visitors who will be here. The board
of health, the city council and the civ
ic association are working in concert
in this movement, and they desire and
should have the cooperation of al
citizens. This cleaning up is meant
to apply to the premises as we'll as
the streets.
And we hope the work will not stop
with this week. The health as well
as the appearance of the city will be
promoted by thorough cleaning up,
and then by keeping the city
thoroughly neat and attractive every
week in the year.

Why could not some Of our progress
sive citizens get together and organize
a country club. We do not mean club
in an offensive sense but a good quiet
place few miles in the country
where the automobilists could drive
and meet their friends and take a
rest. We have all the fraternal or
iganizations represented in Newberry
but we need to develop more strongly
the social side, especially Of our bus
mess men. They do not get together
often enough in a purely social way
and if they could be brought together
oftener in this way it would help K
develop more generous and liberia
business spirit.

In a circular issued by Latham
Alexander and company it is estimat-
ed that there has been a total decrease
Of cotton acreage in the United States
for 1909 Of four and seven-tenths pei
cent, or 1.57O,9S5 acres less than last
year.
This estimate is based upon 1906
replies from the cotton belt, Of aver
age date May 25. Only two States
show increases in acreage-Florida
one half one one per cent. and Texas
three per cent.
It is estimated that in South Caro-
lima there has been a decrease of five
PEI cent.
The tendency which has prevailed
for a number Of years to increase cot
ton acreage has probably been check
ed this year on account Of the increas-
ed price Of wheat and corn and de-
termination on the part Of the farm
ers in the cotton belt to increase their
acreage in small grain.

Mr.. J. B. Lee has been nominated
for mayor of Spartanburg, which
means an election. Mr.. Lee is a pros
porous and progressive citizen of this
growing city and will make live and
active mayor, just what all these pro-
greSsive Piedmont towns should have.
We need mayors who have a correct
appreciation of what is right and who
have the courage to go ahead and do
these things even if there should be
opposition from some few Influential
citizens Mayor Baker, of Greenwood
is one Of the sort we have in mind.
There was opposition to moving of
the wagon yard out of the square but
he is going right ahead with the work
and is putting in parks. We need in
these municipalities men who know
what is right and then who have the
to do things whether they are
for the moment popular or not. Men
who can and will do things.

wet elections are to be held on the

"There are big enterprises" says
the Columbia Record, "that are look
ing towards Columbia and that are
coming here from the outside. And
why? There are two reasons, and
the two are akin. The location Of the
city alone insures normal, natural
steady growth. The people who live
here and who own property here have
faith in the town."
Faith in a town, evidenced by
work, is what it takes to build it up.
A town is bound to grow when its
people, realizing that what benefits
the town must benefit its citizens, pull
together for its upbuilding. And the
fellow who is always ''knocking" his
town ought to 60 somewhere else to
live.

alone cannot cope with this disease.
They have resolved, therefore, to de-

Well, it is done and the Pope lot
has been selected for the location for
the graded school building. 1t is al
right. I am not going to kick. [ did
think the board should have selected
the first offer Of the Pope lot that was

the situation as closely as the board
should have done and no doubt did
do, and l am willing to abide their
decision. The location is alright and
cannot be improved upon in this town.
