IETTING READY FOB THE

ksdr. Bemyer. representing the Red
tM tn Chautauqua, was in Newberry
Pr a short while Thursday He speaks
IT'D glowing terms OF the attractions
Dor the season, which opens soon at
Jacksonville, Fla. The Chautauqua

mises to be still better this year.
Newberry has Redpath Chautauqua
association, with large membership
which will be added to before the
opening day.
Mr.. Bemyer was the advance man
Just looking over the field. Twenty
eight days before the opening day an
other advance man will be round with
the tickets and the outside advert!s-
ing, and for any help and advice he
can give Two weeks before the open
ing another man will come to bring
and handle the street advertising, ban
ners. etc.. and six days before the
opening another man will come to re-
main until the chautauqua is over
and to make himself useful in any
way needed.
Among so many attractions it is
not possible to specialize-they are
all good; but it will be a peculiar
pleasure to Newberrians to hear Mr..
and Mrs. Reed Miller. Mr.. Miller IS
the finest tenor in the United States;
many say he is the finest in the world
and his wife, it is said, is a inner
singer than he is. Mr.. Miller is
native of Anderson county, and lived
in Anderson until the exigencies or
his profession required him TO get
nearer and keep nearer to the centre
of the world.
The programs for the chautauqua
have not been printed yet; they will
be out soon. Meantime Mr.. Bemyer
kindly gave out the following resume
of the attractions:

Materials

The Chalmers, inch for inch, pound for pound,

Chalmers selects only the finest raw materials.

and propeller shaft-chrome nickel. For the front
axle-drop forged carbon steel. For the motor
casting close grained gray iron. For the rear
gearsnickel Steel heat treated to secure hardness
and tcugnness. For the transmission housing

extra large. With Tinken roller bearings. A
disc protector keeps out dust or grit.
Rear axle: light, strong, simple. The identical

the voluntary cxpatriation OF
Thomas Fortune Ryan, the wealthy
Virginian, who was recently COM

Elsewhere in the Gazette will be

show that Mr.. Ryan only paid what
was due the State Of Virginia and

The state officials, no doubt, have
the law to back them up, but the
serious phase of the matter is this:
We are striving to bring capital to

passed and adopted by the House.
will close all the saloons Of Wash
ington on November /. next.
AS the bill now stands it will pro-

If the dry" forces are successful
in all things today they may I'M

the Sheppard prohibition amendment
to the Constitution of the United
States which is designed to outlaw
alcoholic liquors entirely wherever
the American flag waves.
The disposition of the Sheppard
bill is Of especial interest to people
living in Alexandria and in this Sec
ton of Virginia. While the prohibit
ton flag floats over the Old Domn-
ion, Eircinians living near the CAPT

can drink I'D libitum. The dream
OF dry Alexandria will never be
realized SO long as liquor can be C
