YEARLY CHAUTAUQUA
SEEMS NOW ASSURED
ENCOURAGING SUPPORT BY THE
PEOPLE or NEWBERRY.
Entertainments Have Been Excellent
Making a Thoroughly Enjoyable
Gala Week.

| lightful and have been thoroughly en-
joyed by the people OF Newberry and
! by the visitors in their midst.
Hobson and Bryan of themselves
would have made the week big sue
cess, and well worth the time and the
effort and the money which put the
! movement for the week under way and
carried it forward. But there have
been many other and varied features,
and all of them have been of high
order of excellence.
In his address in Newberry on We'd
nesday morning, reported elswhere in
this issue of The Herald and News,
COL Bryan expressed the hope that
the support given the Chautauqua
would give it a place as permanent
part of Newberry's yearly program.
The support which its promoters have
received from the people of Newberry
this week would seem to ensure that
COL Bryan's hope will be realized. The
guarantors did not start the Chautau-
qua movement for NeWberry with the
idea or the hope Of personal gain.
The origin of the association was in
an unselfsh public spirit, and their
expectation was that the public would
cooperate in making the Chautauqua
self sustaining. It was the biggest
undertaking for the pleasure and en-
joyment of Newberry's people and her
peoples friends ever made here,
and the support which it has received
is highly gratifying.
Already arrangements are under
way for next years program, and the
permanence of ChautauQua week for
Newberry seems to be assured.

Hobson's magnificent address in the
morning, Prof. Charles M. Newcomb

fun maker, gave fine entertainment
On Wednesday night. Mr.. Corwine
sprang somewhat of sensation in his
remarks in regard to the NeWberry
county jail. He said whenever he Wis
tied a town he went to such places as
jails to carry all the sunshine be
could, and, saying that he meant no
reflection on the sheriff in the matter
he paid his respects, with gloves off,
to Newberry county for not providing
a better place of safe-keeping for
those held under criminal charges.
