FOR 4 PAID SECRETARY.
Committee Appointed to Solicit Funds
TO Employ Regular Secretary
for Chamber of Commerce.

At call meeting Of the chamber
of commerce, held in the rooms Of
this organization on last Tuesday
evening. it was decided to make de-
termined effort to secure for the
chamber, and for the town, paid
secretary, who will devote all OF his
time to the interests OF the town and
to the upbuilding of the chamber On
motion of Mr.. Clarence Summer, one
of the board of governors, it was de-
cided that the president should ap-
point committee OF five, who, acting
with, and under the instructions OF
the governors, wourd make a thor
ough canvass Of the town, with the
purpose Of securing the necessary
funds that would insure to Newberry
hired secretary. Merchants, cor
porations, farmers, and in fact, every
one interested in the welfare of our
town shall be expected to contribute
to this cause, and in doing so, remem-
Der that this is not a movement that
will help any especial business or en-
terprise, but one for the upbuilding
of our toWn-of your town.
Another matter brought up before
the meeting was increasing the pres
ent membership. Although the mem
bership was tripled during the last
year, yet there is no reason We should
not increase, even this splendid
growth. In disposing of this matter,
each member present pledged himself
to secure at least one new member
during the coming month, and upon
a motion to that eHect the president
was instructed to notify every mem
Der of the determination = of those
present, and ask them to "fall in
line"
Make up your m.nd how much you
are going to give for the paid secre-
tary, and when the committeeman
comes around, give him a glad hand,
and a word of encouragement, besides
your contribution, as this means more
to Newberry. and. the surrounding
community than we can possibly see
at the present time.
The committee appointed to raise
funds for the employment of paid
secretary is composed Of Jno. M. Kin
ard, James Mcintosh, W. B. Wallace
B. C. Matthews, q. F. Wright. /
