CREDIT BUREAU is BEING
INSTALLED RAPIDLY

Some weeks ago announcement was
made that our chamber of commerce
would install credit bureau for the
benefit of the merchants and business
men Of Newberry. The installation Of
this bureau was undertaken only after
several merchants asked that 1t De
done, and in addition to this, a can
vas of the city was made to determine
whether or not the ones that did not
asl, for it wanted it. This canvas re-
suited in the finding that every mer-
chant and business man in the city
who are members Of our chamber of
commerce wanted this bureau.
According TO reports made by See
retary Mcdaniel, the installation OF
the bureau is being made very rapid
ly; more than two tousand names have
already been turned in. Before it can

WHITE WAY is GREAT ASSET;
OLD POLES SHOULD BE MOVED
Property Owners Urged 70 Give
Permission for Change

To the Editor:
do not think there is single cit
izen who did not rejoice when the
great white way was turned on some
weeks ago, or at least | have net
heard Of any. The reason for this,
l think, is that the installation of this
white way is sign Of progress-and
the nlGay citizens Of Newberry are
right in line with any progressive
move, and it is needless to say that
our city fathers will long be remem-
bered for putting across this badly
needed improvement, to say nothing
of the paving contract which has been
so successfully carried out. New
berry is now classed with ctaer large
cities and is looking to the future.
Now, since the installation Of the
white way, why not let US go ahead
and complete the job by having all. the
old light poles in te !siness section
taken down. Many of them have al
ready been taken down, but there ere
still few more that should come
down, and thus add to the beauty of
our already beautiful city. This will
be done by the commissioner of pub
lie works without any cost to the IL
dividuals, except in very few cases
there may have to be slight change
of wiring on the inside of some of the
buildings, which cost would be very
little. By taking down all of these
old poles and running the light wires
in through the rear Of the building,
you can readily see aow it would add
to the beauty Of our streets, to say'
nothing of the room that would be
added to our sidewalks.
I sincerely hope that all property
owners who have one Of these old
poles near their property will inlme-
diately call the commissioner of pub
lie works and authorize him to take
the pole down and run the wires in the
rear of the building, and l am sure
they will do this if they will give the
matter careful thought-not thinking
of what little it may cost, but Of how
it will add to the beauty of our city.

Newberry Chamber of Commerce.

be completed, however, every mer-
chant must turn in his list. All in
stIuctions have been furnished to
then, and Secretary Mcdaniel urges
every merchant to turn in his list at
once. in order that the bureau may
be completed as soon as possible.
It is pointed out that when this
bureau is completed it will be the
means of saving the merchants and
business men many dollars in bad ac-
counts, as through this channel they
can find out the rating on every per-
son in Newberry county Tho buys on
credit. and in view Of the fact the
service is given free, it should be
given the support and cooperation

in the city,

Did Honors Well
On all sides there was loud praise
for the fine fashion in which Green
wood did the honors of the day. 1t
was anticipated that this would be
the case but the smoothness and pre-
c;sion with which everything worked,
the compactncss of the program, the
handling Of the crowd-all moved like
clcckwork, the celebration being a
distinct creG;t TO Greenwood and to
the state CT South Carolina. Extra
policemen from Spartanburg, Green
vile, Belton. Gafney and Chester
were on hand and members of the
American Legion also acted in any
capacity necessary to the success Of
, the day.
Hejaz drum corps, the First infantry
band of Union, the Newberry band
and Jordan Mil band added much to
the day.
The marshal is nearing the end Of
his stay in the United States. Soon
he will be ON The high seas bound for
home, for his le!oved France. And
tonight South rarolina's heart beats
high with the hope that as he looks
back upon the trip and counts the
pleasant memories Of his visit to AM
erica he will pick out as one OF the
fress treasures of his / days this
brief hit of time in the Palmetto
istate.

The Legion auxilia?y was gre
cious hostess to the members OF Post
No. "a last Monday evening when 1t
served an old time turkey dinner with
the usual trin .:ing5 to seventy-tWo
legiornai2es. # it is true that 'ac-
tions. speak louder than words, words
would be supcrfuous to express tAe
arnreciation of the boys present OF
this occasion. We have believed al
along that our post has the best, the
most active and wiGe-awake auxiliary
; IN the state and now we are convinced
of this fact.
Immediately following the dinner
the post entered into business session,
and much business of importance was
transacted. The officers fer 1922
were installed. J. L. Keitt, j., upon
assuming the duties of the Office as
commander delivered an inaugural
address in which he pledged his best
efforts to the post during the coming
year, and pleaded for the hearty CO.
operation Of the members IN al! Of the
undertakings Of the post during 1922.
The post voted to cooperate with
the state department in playing Santa
Claus to the 700 boys in U. S. P H.
Hospital No. 26 at Greenville. The
hat was passed around and neat sum
was received for this purpose. We
are anxious to have every member of
the post contribute to this fund.
Please hand your contribution to Hal
Kohn, finance officer, within the next
few days.
Hal Kohn is ready to remit for
your post dues $3.50. Your sub
scription to Legion Weekly expires
January 1st. You don't want to miss
a single copy of this excellent maga-
zine. The Weekly alone is worth the
$3.50 you pay as dues to the post.

the issue Of December 9, hunt 1t up
and read it. l believe that it will
convince you that the admonition that
the Legion as an organization "Do
nothing that has the slightest political
complexion is the proper course to
take. The article is well worth read
ing. 1t shows up our commander as

How SlO2 Grew.

The following story illustrates the
value Of saving: 'Chauncy NJ. Depew
erstwhile United States senator from
New York, put 500 in Peekskill,
n. Y, savings bank in 1860. 1t was
his first 500. Maybe Senator De-
per fourd, as mary do, that the first
s10C proved to be the hardest. Any
way, in spite of strenuous tempta-
ton, he refused to draw upon that
s10O, and, as a result of later pros
perity, finally forgot about it.
Not io.g ago Senator Depew en-
tered the Deekskill bank to greet
some old friends and they reminded
him Of his nest egg On computing
the interest it was found that the
original deposit Of 500 had grown
to $500 and owing to the long period
in which it had lain undisturbed had
achieved the distinction OF beng
known as the banks star account.

HEAVY CAR
TURNS TURTLE
YOUNG PAUL KiLCO MEETS
HORRIBLE DEATH
Paul Kilgo> of Laurens Fcuad I'm
conscious cn Whitrire Road.
Died Sunday Night


Died Sunday Night
!, Ore Of the most distressing ace
dents that ever happened in this couE-
ty was t.lat hy which young Paul
Kilgo of L2ureGs met death nea: this
city Sunday night when the Nigh pew
cred car in which he was driving was
wrecked, crushing him beneath its
weight. Kilgo was driving alone when
the accident occurred and there was
10 eye witness to the tragedy. Sur
roundings ard the condition Of the
road however showed that the wreck
was the result of the right rear wheel
giving away as the car turned a
curve in the road The breaking Of the
wheel threw the car across the road
and it turned over at least two times.
Kilgo was crushed in the first turn
and was found lying directly behind
the car and to the right side of the
road. The car was complete wreck.
The body was found probably fif-
teen minutes after the accident oc-
Cured. Three young men from this
city, Burton Wells, W. E. Turner and
&c. w. Ferguson, returning from an
afternoon drive, found the wrecked
car and young Xilgo, about eight
thirty o'clock. The young man was
unconscious. He was rushed to the
lNewberry hotel ard medical aid sum-
moned at once. While never recov-
ering consciousness, he lived until TO
forty-five this morning when death
came. A number of his immediate
family reached his bedside before he
died.
From all accounts Kilgo and a
friend from Lsurens had driven over
to Newbcfry iate&sanday afternoon.
It seems that Kilgo had carried his
friend to the home of Cal Baker,
about eight miles from this city on
the Newberry- Whitmire highway, and
had left him there and was returning
to Newberry when the accident oc-
Cured. The young man, Mr.. j. E..
Hearn stated that Kilgo was to have
returned later in; the night for him.
Kilgo had come about two miles from
Bakers when the wreck occurred. At
this point there is a curve of about
forty-fve degrees in the highway. The
car and road conditions show that in
turning this curve at a rather high
rate Of speed, the outside rear wheel
of the car could not stand the strain
and crushed causing the car to wreck.
Young Kilgo was terribly crushed
about the head and upper part of the
body.
Kilgo is the son of Rev. P. F. Kill
go of the Methodist church. He was
about eighteen years of age and
was most popular young man. He
is survived by his parents and sever
al brothers, one of whom is minister
IN the Methodist church of this state.
Young Kilgo GENES from an old and
we'll known family. He is nephew
of Bishop J. C. Kilgo and Presiding
Elder. J. W. Nilgo, both Of the Meth
odist church. His mother was a Miss
Betea. a sister of former lieutenant
governor, Andrew j. Bethea of Co.
lumbia.
The body was taken to Laurens
early Monday morning, accompanied
by his family and friends. Funeral
services will be held Tuesday morn
ing in Laurens.
