MFR. Chappell' Loss.

To the Members of the Farmers
Mutual Insurance Company Of New
berry County: It is generally known
! by you all that Mr.. Chappell, one of
our members, sustained 8 loss by
fire. At the meeting Of Off airec-
tors some month or six weeks ago It
was found that Mr.. Chappell had
also some insurance in some of the
old line companies. They decided
accordingly by our laws that they
could not pay Mr.. Chappell on ac-
count of his having insurance IN
It has been talked amongst the
members and some Of the directors
for some time that we take up VOL
untary contribution. of 5 cents on the
these other companies.
hundred dollars which will cover this
loss; that is, if a man has one thous-
and dollars he pays fifty cents; one
who has two thousand pays one dol
lar.
Mr.. Jno. C: Goggans, clerk of
court, has kindly consented to act
as treasurer for this fund.
Some have already paid. I suggest
that during the next thirty days
those Of us that have not paid will
pay this little mite to Mr.. Goggans.
It will be a great help to Mr.. Chap
pell, and no one will feel it. AS
there may be few that will not pay
to this cause some Of us might go
little over five cents on the hundred
dollars-and still not be hurt.
Respectfully,
J. c.. Neel.

PLEASANT AND PROFITABLE.
Board of Governors of Chamber of
Commerce Entertained by
President Mayer.

Dr.. O. B. Mayer, president Of the
chamber Of commerce, entertained
the board Of governors at his home
in East Main street last Friday ev-
ening, and served a most excellent
dinner.
At this meeting every member OF
the board was present, and it was
agreed that it would be well to have
the meeting repeated, as it was the
surest way to obtain a full meeting
Of the board.
Several matters pertaining to the
welfare of the city and the work Of
the chamber of commerce during the
coming year, were. discussed.
It was decided, among other
things, to ask the members Of the
legislature from Newberry, to make
provision in the supply bill, or by
special act, for the erection OF a
steel bridge over the Saluda river
at, or near Herbert's Ferry, or
Kempson's Ferry, and committee
was appointed composed Of |. Il.
Hunt, C. T. Sumner and Z. F.
Wright to take the matter up and
! to suggest the location for The
bridge, and then to confer with the
legislature as to the passage Of the
| law providing for the building OF
the bridge.
The chamber Of commerce during
the past year has reduced the IN
debtedness Of the body very mate
rally, and that with a small mem
bership. It is hoped to increase the
membership and thus be able to
pay off the Indebtedness and accu-
mulate fund with which to oper-
ate.
! It is very difficult to run any or
ganization without funds. II the
business men of Newberry would
cooperate by becoming members and
paving the small dues promptly, a
great deal more good could be ac-
complished, and the burden would
be very light. It is the policy OF the
present organization to have only
members who pay their dues and II
the members do not take a sufficient
interest to pay their dues, the con-
stitution will be enforced.
With that in view, the following
resolution was adopted and will be
enforced. It is hoped that all those
who are now members will see. the
Importance to the community Of
maintaining an organization and
.. will come forward and pay their
dues and assist in securing addi-
tional members.
"Resolved: That all memeers of
the chamber Of commerce who are
three months in arrears be given
until Jan. 18th, 1910, to pay their
dues and that all who fail to do so,
be expelled according to the bylaws.
'"Resolved: That this resolution be
published in the local papers,"
