MEMORIAL MEETING
In Honor Of South Carolina Sons
Who Gave Themselves to the
Cause of Freedom.

The memorial services to be held
in the court house on Sunday after
noon, October 10th, at 4 o'clock, will
be largely attended. The returned
soldiers and sailors are to take part
and the names of Newberry county
heroes who fell in battle during the
great war, will be read. .Appropri-
.ate addresses will be made.
No county has prouder record in
the mighty struggle so recently
brought to victorious end than has
Newberry. The flower of her young
manhood was given and on the land
and on the sea wherever duty lead,
they gave good account of them
selves.
ssTo honor those who barred their
breast and formed a bulkwark of
their bodies against the mighty foe
striking at the heart of humanity is
to honor ourselves. In our hearts
we cherish the memory of the fallen
heroes and we acclaim those spared
to ps, hailing them victors and glory
ing in the valor of. their spirit and
achievement. But as a mighty
people speaking with one voice we
would give expression to that which
is in our hearts yearning for utter
ance and shape it into permanent
and beautiful form to stand for all
times as testimonial Of our graft
tude to our benefaetors and to the
benefacors of all mankind"
In the raising Of this memorial
erected to the honor of our soldier
sons every loyal and true South Car
Gilman will. desire part. Newberry

CAPITAL NEWS AND GOSSIP
(By Jon K. Aull.)

The last session authorized something
like $2,O50,O0O to be borrowed this
year in anticipation of the collection
of taxes. Of this amount 81, 100000
was borrowed in the spring, and yes
terday 100000 more was borrowed,
Like the farmers used to do, the
State runs year behind, and the
interest item is getting to be con-
siderable. An additional bond issue,
with a sinking fund to retire the
bonds issued within a specified period
would solve the question, and would
in the long run be a great saving to
the State.

The committee appointed by the
last legislature is going ahead with
it's work of soliciting funds for the
erection of the memorial building in
memory of those who died in the
service of the nation in the world
We. The legislature appropriated
100000, to be available whenever,
in the opinion of the commission, a
sufficient sum had been raised by
popular subscription. The commit
tee has decided upon 100000 as an
adequate amount to be thus raised.
The building will be erected on The
grounds of the South Carolina uai-
versity now belonging to the State,
and will have an alcove for each
county. It is expected to store here
the archives of all the wars in which
this State has participated, and also
to use the building for gatherings OF
soldiers.
There was great deal of urging
that the committee build the memo
rial in the shape of a hospital, but it
is bound by the act of the general
assembly, under which it must pro-
ceed. The governor is chairman of
the committee, the other members
having been appointed by him.

ports from different parts of the
State, published in the Columbia
State of this morning, showing the
prices paid on the various cotton mar
kets, it was gratifying to note that
Newberry headed the list, with "a

fine boost to any town or city, and
there is little excuse for the differ

Many automobile streamers are in
evidence on the streets of Columbia
these days announcing the approach
ing State fair, and there is every in
dication that the crowds are going
to be very large from every part Of
South Carolina. Last year, it will
be recalled, the fair was not held,
.on account of war conditions; but
the successful outcome of the war
.. will make the coming event all the
more pleasurable.
It is matter of regret that the
South Carolina club has decided not
to give the annual State hall, which
is always held on Thursday of fair
week. This event was of course also
called off last year, but it has deem
expected that it would be resumed
at this fair. The executive commit
tee of the South Carolina club held
meeting few days ago and decided
that it would be inadvisable to give
the ball this year, It was stated in
the resolution, however, that it was
the sense Of. the committee that IN
the early fall of 1920 there should
be meeting of the members of the
club for the purpose of reorganiza-
tion,. to the end that in 1920 State
ball may again be held and the club
may resume its social functions.
This annual ball has brought peo-
pie from all over South Carolina in
delightful social reunion for many
years past. It was formerly held IN
the hall of the house Of representa-
tives, but is now usually held at a
local hotel.
