STRONG PETITION FOR
LADIES' REST ROOM
AUTHORITIES ASKED TO USE OLD
COURT HOUSE.
Petition Circulated by Mrs. Evans Ad.
dressed to Supervisor and Com
miSSiOnerS..

Mrs. Mary B. Evans circulated the
petition which is published below, d.
rected to the supervisor and comn11s-
'sioners of Newberry county, asking
/ them to provide rest room in the old
court house for ladies' who come to
Newberry from out-of-town on shop
ping trips, or any other business. It
will be seen that the petition shows
unanimity among business men in
charge of nearly every class Of ousi-
ness represented in Newberry in favor
of such a rest room. The Herald and
News during the discussion as 20 the
question of the advisability Of tearing
down the old building, and before and
since, urged that the Ole building fe
retained, and among tho purposes 20
which The Herald and News isgest-
ed that it be put, a rest roo5l fc: "a.
! dies was strongly urged. The old builo-
ing was not put to the public purposes
which The Herald and News urged,
nor has it been kept in the proper
repair. The old building ought eitrer
to be kept in better snape, o. it ought
to be torn down, and give pace to a
miniature park. Mrs. Evans petition
for a, rest room for ladies IS along the
line which The Herald and News has
been urging, and is step in the right
direction, and it Is very much 20 be
hoped that the prayer of the petition
will be granted by the county commits
sioners. The petition follows: g..
To the Board of County Commission
ers of Newberry County, S, c.
Gentlemen: j. ~.
We, the undersigned merchants and
citizens of the city of NeWberry, re-
spectfuly request of your board that
rest room for women and children be
provided for their use and benefit
in the old court house On the public
square, as a place in which to rest
after shopping, visits to dentist, ocu-
list, or attendance on other matters
pertaining to business which may
bring them into the city. We recog-
nize this as a necessity, and act OF
justice to wives, children and widows
Of veterans who are yet alive, and
duty due to the memory of brave SOL
diers of this country who now rest
under the shade Of the trees.' s:
