The activity Of the student body. &C.
tuated by the strong Christian en-
vironment and principles, the basis of
work Of renown. Is forcefully EVIL
denced in the life Of Jacksonville The
graduates engaged in professions. COM
merce and trades are highly success
full and are conspicuous In their re-
spective communities because of their
character for good and thorough
preparation for life Of productive
work.
The broadness Of the president Is ex.
empliaed in the faculty being members
Of various denominations and the stu.
dent body being the same. Plans are
now being carefully considered where
the scope Of the school will be such
that the UNCONVENTIONAL phase, as It is
believed by some to be only for those
Of the Baptist inclination. will interest
people Of all denominations. 1t is now
largely upon this scale. Because of
such ennobling ideas permeating the
entire faculty and Officiary and the
high standard Of proficiency Of those
identified with the academy the growth
has been 50 steady and assuring Of the
need Of such a movement In Florida
that these exigencies require a large
brick building at once.
A feature that is very helpful to the
boys is the military regulations Of the
school. The girls indulge In all healthy
gymnastic exercises. and student life
upon this campus invigorates the most
stupid fellow and gives him a broader
conception Of the possibilities of be,
coming a desirable factor in working
out honestly the problems Of life.

they have not the time to devote to the
organization who are necessarily the
largest benefciaries of such an Or
ganization, why should others. II
they are satisfied and can get along
without the organization, why not the
others.
We are firmly convinced of the I'M
portance of commercial organiza-
tion if the community is to keep pace
with other communities, and We are
willing to do our part to help it along,
but if the leading business men Of the
community are going to stand aloof
and say, t'I'll come in when you do
something" or a. best give the organ
ization only lukewarm support, then
it is lust as well to be frank with our
selves and admit that We had better
agree to disband.
Do we need chamber of COM
merce? If so then let the business
men get together and determine to
make it a. live wire in the develop
ment of the community.
The past year has been better one
than in the history Of the organiza-
ton, and the business will be turned
over in better condition than it was
received, but there has not been that
hearty cooperation and active support
on the part of the membership there
should have been. The membership
is three times what it was year ago
and the financial condition is better,

We notice from the Greenville News
that a movement has been inaugural
ed in that city by the Greenville park
and tree commission to make Green
vile a larger and more beautiful city.
This movement is not only being made
in Greenville, but in number Of 9th
er South Carolina cities, and in fact
it seems that the movement for pub
lie play grounds for the children in
the cities is taking hold all over the
country.
The Herald and News and it's spe-
cial correspondent have been agitating
the question for a park for Newberry
for long time, and the matter is now
in such shape that if those who are
able to build a park, and who should
be largely interested in the develop
ment of the community, will take hold
of it, it can be made a success.
Newberry is so situated at present
that the grounds for such a park may
be secured at a reasonable price, and
centrally located, but if the matter is
postponed much longer, it will be i'm
possible to secure a location so de-
sirable and so we'll adapted to park.
It is hoped that some of our busi-
ness men, realizing the Importance OF
a public play ground for the children
as well as a. place for amusement,
rest and fresh air for the grownups,
will get busy End do something The
proposition will be presented to them
this week, and it will be up to the
citizens of the community to deter
mine the matter for themselves.

The more you dig in the meshes of
the dispensary muddle the worse 1t
gets. Now, her comes letter writ
ten by the Hon. T. B. Fielder, who
seems to have been in the grating
business himself. Is it true that Col.
Fielder was at one time a whiskey
dealer and sold to the South Carolina
dispensary? It would be interesting
to know what houses he represented,
and if SO. have the overcha4rges by his
clients been investigated, or did they
make no overcharges, and if they did
not did they make any sales?

That is a. mighty big company our
friend L. W. Parker IS forming of the
cotton mills in this State, and he is
a mighty good man, but is not this
company in the shape of a trust. To
put so large a proportion of the mills
in this State in one corporation looks
something like a combine.

DO WE NEED A CHAMBER OF COM
MERGE?

The annual meeting of the chamb er
of commerce will be held tonight
There should be a good attendance of
the members, as at this meeting Of
fcers for the ensuing year will be
chosen.
While We believe such an organiza-
ton is essential to the growth of the
community, unless the officers can
have the cooperation and support of
those of our citizens who have large
interests in the community, it is scar
cely worth while for those who have
only small holdings TO give OF their
time and money to keep up an organ
ization that is of only indirect bene-
fit tc them.
We have given freely Of our tine
and space to the success Of the or
ganization, but when We see the lit
tie interest manifested by those VINO
are the largest property owners ard
business men of the community, one
naturally becomes discouraged. #
