WILL HAVE BANQUET.
Committee on Entertainment Recon-
mend Chamber of Commerce Ban.
quet-TO be on goth.

Mr.. President and Members Of the
Chamber of Commerce, NewberTy,
South Carolina. Gentlemen: Your
committee on public entertainment
beg to report that at meeting of the
board of governors held recently, it
was decided to have a banquet some
time during December, and at this
banquet to invite some gentleman to
deliver an address, and to arrange a
program for our membership.
There is need for our membership
to get in closer touch with one another
and nothing so revives and makes ac-
tive the social part of our nature as
getting together and placing our feet
under the same table.
Our memb bership has largely in
creased and much more interest is be-
ing taken in the work Of the chamber
Of commerce, and it was thought that
a, purely social gathering Of the mem
bership would give impetus to the or
ganization, and, as stated, bring the
members closer together socially and
as a result closer together for the
advancement of the community.
This banquet as estimated by our
committee viii cost about 81 per plate,
and this is to be paid by the members
individually. Of course, it is expected
that every member will attend, and if
he desires to bring a friend, he will
be given the privilege at th price.
Th president of the chamber Of com
merce was directed to extend anVita-
ton Of President W. W. Finley, of the
Southern railroad, to meet with US at
this proposed banquet. We are pleas
ed to report that President Finley has
accepted this invitation.
The evening Of December 20, has
been selected as the dat and the COM
mittee will wait upon the member
ship in order to assertion how many
plates it will be necessary to serve.
It is not proposed to have an elabor-
ate banquet but one that will be mex
pensive, the main purpose to be to
get the members together around the
social board.
Respectfully submitted,
Jno. B. Mayes,
Chairman.

Mr.. President and the Members OF
tee Chamber of Commerce, Newberry,
South Carolina. Gentlemen: Your
membership committee begs leave to
make the following report:
It is with pardonable pride that we
are able to report that the chamber of
commerce at present has 1877 mem
bers. On the first of March the
ent has one hundred and sixtv-tlve
members. On the first Of March the
membership was only fifty. We have,
therefore, had an increase in a little
over eight months Of one hundred and
seventeen members. We are also graft
fed to report that great manV OF the
farmers of the county have identifed
themselves and the chamber Of COM
merce and it thus becomes an organ
ization not simply Of the city, but Of
the county.

The branch has been changed and CIV

desire to reach that number by the
first Of March, 1911. In order to do
this we must have the help. and CO.
operation of every member. We take
that every member considers himself
a committee of one to secure one ad-
ditional member and if this is done
the calculation is easy. We can reach
our three hundred and more by the
end Of this fiscal year.
We recommend that the meeting to-
night resolve unanimously to double

legislature from this county, and also
member of the Prosperity chamber
of commerce, was present. He stated
that he had come to hear rather than
to speak, but suggested that, in his
opinion, all chambers of commerce
should look after the interest OF the
entire county as well as the city. He
thought that one of the most import
ant things was the matter of improved
highways and said that under the pres
ent system nothing could be accom-
plished. The time is passed when
roads could be maintained by warning
out the farmers to work them. He
favored a 50 Communication tax and a
one mill tax to be handled and expend-
ed by an efficient head.
Rev. L. NJ. Rice, of Union, and Mr..
P. W. Mcclure, of Greenwood, who
were expected, sent their regrets.
Mr.. T. E. Wicker, chairman Of the
good roads committee, submitted a
very full and complete report and sug-
gested that the present road law need
ed to be brought up-to-date, and, in
fact, needed a new road law, and the
chairman of the chamber was author
lied to appoint committee to draft
road law that would be suitable to
Newberry and to submit it to sub
sequent meeting of the chamber OF
commerce for approval and if approx
ed, request the members Of the legis-
lature to enact it.
Mr.. S. NJ. Duncan, cooperative de-
monstration agent in Newberry coun-
ty, made a brief talk along the lines
Of the importance of cooperation be-
TWEEN the town and country.
Mr.. J. B. O'Neall Holloway, special
lecturer for the Farmers union, made
an interesting talk, emphasizing the
fact that the growth Of the city de-
pended absolutely upon the growth OF
the country and the Importance OF the
city cooperating and cultiVating small
farmers.
The Newberry concert band very
kindly offered to furnish music dur
ing the evening and was present for
an hour or more during the meeting
and by their excellent music added
very much to the interest and enthu-
siasm Of the meeting. In recognition
of this service, Mr.. F. P. DeVore, Offer
ed the following resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, the members of the New
berry concert band kindly consented
! to furnish music for the meeting OF
the chamber Of commerce this evening
as a voluntary contribution on their
part; and whereas this feature has ad-
ded very materially to the success OF
the meeting.

accordance with the nationwide OBJ
servance, that the exercises will be
held.
A committee was appointed to ar
range the program, and the committee
will make it's report to the special
meeting of the tribe to be held tonight.
Great Sachem Otto Klettner and the
Rev. W. C. Kelley will make short ad-
dresses in keeping with the spirit OF
the occasion. Thursday is the regu-
lar meeting night of the tribe, but on
account of the Thanksgiving services
the regular meeting will be called off
and the meeting at o'clock Thursday
night will be open to the public. The
members of the Pocahontas degree
are especially invited to be present,
and the public is cordially invited to
attend.
The matter of securing the opera
house and Of having a service during
the day was considered by the commit
tee, but it was learned that many OF
the members of the tribe will be out
of town during the day, and taking adj
things into consideration, it was
deemed advisable to let the Thanks
giving services take the place of the
regular melting in the hall on Thurs
day night.
The gathering wiki be called to or
der by the sachem, who will then
turn the meeting over to the Thanks
giving service committee.
Every member of the tribe and OF
the Pocahontas degree is urged to at
tend, and, as stated, the public is cor
daily invited.

Newberry, S. c., Nov. 3, 1910:
To the Tribes and Counils under the
jurisdftion of the G. G. OF S. c., I'M
proved Order Red Men.
Whereas it has baen the time honor
ed American custom for the presidents
of the United States, and governors
of the several States, moved by, a
sense Of gratitude towards the Creator
and Ruler of the Universe for the
manifest blessings bestowed upon the
American people. to set apart GER
tain day in each year for thanksglV-
ing and sacred reflection.
This pratice finds its origin IN the
customs Of the League OF the lro-
ouois" or the six nations of the Amer
ican Indians who held conVocauon
once in each Great Sun to offer up
praise and Thanksgiving to the Great
Spirit for the many blessings bestoW-
ed upon than.
It is, therefore, fitting and proper
that the members Of the improved
Order of Red Men, holding to much
that is good and commendable in the
practices of our ancient prototypes
and also being patriotic citizens OF our
American government, should like
wise set apart a certain day for
thanksgiving, praise and sacred re-
faction unto the Gi7er Of all good
things, and
Whereas, Hon. Geo. B. Grlggs,

Appointing overseers an dwarning out
men who live in the county to "do
time on the public roads, is system
that belongs to ancient history. 1t
takes no wise economist to see that
We do not get value received for the
amount of money expended on the
public roads. True, some of our roads
are being improved, but We are pay
ing two prices for this improvement.
This is no reflection on the county
supervisor, for, with his limited knoWl-
edge of road building and maintain
ance and with the clumsy, unstable
law laid down for him to enforce, he
is doing all that could reasonably be
expected. It is not his fault that your
county supervisor has no knowledge
of civil engineering, nor is he respon-
slb1e for the antiquated road law now
on the statute books. Some complain
that the law is alright if it were only
enforced. It can not be enforced,
which is positive proof that the law is
not alright. No law can be enforced
that is not backed by public senti-
ment, and the more we try to create a
sentiment in favor of road working
the less work we get done, which
proves conclusively that there is a
growing sentiment against the pres
ent system.
A few decades ago when ox-carts
and rail-splitting and house-raisings
and corn-huskings were the order Of
the day, the farmers had time to work
the roads, because they had more time
than anything else. Today it is far
different; time is valuable We are
living in an age in which individualism
or self-irterest is the dominant spirit
Men are reading and thinking and
working as never before. They are
interested interested in
their own private affairs, and thus
every man becomes a specialist in his
line of work. The jack-of-all-trades
belongs to that period when men
made their own shoes, their own hats,
their own farm implements, and made
less than a half bale OF cotton and
ten bushels of corn to the acre and
had plenty Of time to work the roads.
The farmer of today is a specialist,
and hence he knows no more about
expert road-building than a lawyer
knows about the practice Of MEDICINE.
Let doctor plead your case in court
and you will be hung or sent to the
penitentiary. Let a farmer, as a mer-
chant, or good natured politician,
or anybody else, except a road build
er, attempt to work your roads and
he will bankrupt the county and you
will still have no roads.
Having considered the changed con-
ditions under which we are now living
and the change of public sentiment
that is taking place with regard to
road improvement, We your commit
tee, deem change in the road law an
absolute necessity. We therefore
recommend that the president Of this
body appoint a committee Of five to
draft a suitable road law to be sub
mitted at the next meeting of the
chamber Of commerce, and, if accept
ed, that it be placed in the hands OF
our delegation in the general assem-
bly for their consideration and pas
sage if possible.
