NEARING THE FOUR
| HUNDRED GOAL
Drive for Membership for Enlarged
Chamber of Commerce Meeting
With Great Success

With the membership drive still
progressing and a total membership
to Wednesday of 272, there need no
longer be any doubt in the minds of
The men and women of Newberry that
we are to have a Chamber of Com
rlerce large enough and with sutti-
cient income to carry on worth while
things and to represent this city and
county adequately among the other
progressive civic-commercial organ:-
cations of the state and nation. This
achievement so successfully carried
out under the direction of the Amer
ican City bureau, represented here by
VIM. C. Ewing, campaign manager,
and Dewey J. Carter, publicity ass;s-
tant, marks a new era in the life of
our community. From now on with
the new interest stirred up by this
county wide movement and definite
pl ogram of work to be followed out
with the service and backing Of the
American City bureau behind it for
three years, if we fail it will be our
own fault.
A large group of our citizens have
been sacrificing time and money this
week, under the leadership Of q. F.
Wright, serving on the drive teams
for the sake of Newberry. These
teams have met every morning at
nine-thirty for conference and again
at 2 p. m. for luncheon and reports.

Old Buffalo Hunters.
No Wonder the Vast Herds So Rap
Idly Disappeared.

rhoynberldin Is. ID correspondent IN The
Huronitc.
waterfowl and prairie chicken hunt
ing. for which South Dakota hunters
are now preparing. is a far cry from
the buffalo, antelope and elk hunting OF
forty years ago. referred to In news
item taken from the files OF the Cham
beriain Register OF forty years ago.
Chamberlain is on the Missouri River
and hunters and traders on their way
down the river frequently landed there.
The item said:
James Dugan called at our landing
last week on his way to St. Louis with
ten tons Of buffalo meat. His party
consisted of four. who killed last winter
1000 buffaloes.
"Dugan himself killed $50 buffaloes,
125 black tail deer. so antelopes. 6e5
elk (s2 at one sltting).
'He states that owing to the late
severe winter over 100000 buffalocs
were killed, and still. he says. the coun-
try between Cannon Ball and Little
Missouri Is full Of them.
.IIe paid as high as $50 sack for
-four and 20 cents pound for salt last
winter. He expects to return again
next winter"

Reputation of the Equinox.

East of the Mississippi River rain
falls, on an average, two days in five
throughout September. Therefore, II
rain falls on the 21st. or on the pre-
ceding or following days. in popular
opinion 1t is an equinoctial storm,
and in the last half century rain has
seldom missed one or another OF the
days noted. In the past fifty years
in New York city rain has fallen on
the 21st OF September thirteen times.
This is close to the average number
of rainy days for the month, hence
the popular notion Of an equinoctial
storm In September--a notion which
seems to ignore such an occurrence
in March.
The fact is that storms Of the win
ter type differ much from summer
showers. They are great cyclonic
whirls, which originate in the West
and sweep across the continent. They
are much severer than summer
showers and usually appear after the
middle of September. A storm Of
this type, occurring near the 21st OF
the month, is likely to emphasize It's
presence by its severity. To this
fact, as well as to the time OF its
occurrence, the popular conception Of
an equinoctial storm is due.

LOTT. Running no risk OF encounter
ing an ungrateful manager who
might be coldly unappreciative OF
her talents. she built the playhouse
and baptized it. Safety first holds
also In matters of art.
The little playhouse now known
as the Comedy once served az a tenn
pie for the fame Of the popular WILL
IAN COLLIER. It seems, however. that
theatres are no more enduring than
monuments of brass. Nowadays Max
Inc Elliott's Theatre Is the only one
to retain the name OF an actress II
one except Miss BAYEs's aerial roost
of the arts high up on theatre In
West Forty-fourth street.
There ought to be lesson here
for Mr.. JoLsoN. If he is to enjoy
permanently the sense Of importance
that a theatre named In his honor
should impart to an actor let him
follow the example Of Miss ELLIOTT
and JULIAN ELTINGg, in whose honor
a Forty-second street theatre is
named. Let him acquire possession
Of the playhouse.

Modernist Art Condemned.
America Urged to Lead in n Move.
ment to Suppress 1t.

To THE NEW York HERALD: I cam
not say with what delight I read of the
attack upon the decadent monstrosity
lightened Americans.
My first Introduction to this kind Of
art was In October. 1919. at the Paris
Salon. AS these Americans truly say, 1t
was only what one would expect out of
an asylum. One great English portrait
painter even then had the courage to
speak the truth to my aunt He said,
as your countrymen now say. that these
schools had been evolved by men who
could not paint; therefore to win fame
and money they banded together In a
sort OF Bolshevism in art, and one feels
It is disgrace to civilization that It
was ever questioned as being other than
the work OF q set OF madmen. I think
America will be doing a service to the
coming generations and the whole world
IL she takes the lead in refusing to allow
schools. to hang these pictures in any
public gallery.
1t only needs for strong nation and
powerful set OF men and women to stand
firm and speak the truth to tear the
scales from the eyes OF the deluded pub
lie. These so-called modern artists even
tried TO dIstort furniture and womcn's
clothing. but were vanquished there.
Children's minds must be trained to
appreciate the beauties of life. and these
experiments in art and statuary are
likely TO cause them to be diseased. r.

SO the Orchestras Will Play.

Guarded communications issued by
both the Philharmonic and Symphony
societies Of this city assure music
lovers that the unfoxtunate situation
Of last season affecting rehearsals as
well as salaries has been cleared up
to the satisfaction Of all the parties
concerned. The orchestral directors
contended that five weekly rehear-
sails Of two and one-half hours each
were necessary for the proper
preparation of the concert pro-
grammes. The musicians held that
four weekly rehearsals of two hours
each were enough, or at any rate
that for anything more than that
they should be paid overtime.
In the language Of the Symphony
Society's communication, "the finan-
cial guarantor of the enterprise saw
no reason why his already generous
and long continued contribution to
the cause of music should become a
basis for extortion." He went fur
ther and intimated that II his pro.
posa1s met with no favor among the
musicians the orchestra would cease
to exist. After months of debate
"the principle of adequate weekly
rehearsals was established"
1t is admitted that concessions were
made on both sides. They always
are. But what the musical public
will be curious about is how long
the new status will survive. Mean
while orchestral concerts will con-
tinue to absorb large amount of
public interest, and in the communi.
cations herein mentioned there is suf.
ficient assurance that the perform.
ances will not fall perceptibly below
the high level to which recent meth.
ods of orchestral study have brought
them.

bobbed hair and knee high dresses!

Great Two-Year-O Olds.

When Norwich, the greatest OF two
year-old thoroughbred colts OF this
racing season, won the Eastern Shore
Handicap in Maryland last week he
brought his earnings to total OF
more than $4,000. He did not, how
ever, surpass the record for consecu.
tive victories by a two-year-old thor
oughbred, although he has won ten
races and has not been beaten.
The greatest number OF straight
victories by two-year-old was made
by the black colt fremont, a son oil
Virgil from the stable of the Dwyer
brothers which flashed across the
racing horizon of 1886. His trium
phal career began at old Jerome
Park. All tracks were alike to Ire
mont, and he set the seal upon his
greatness by overcoming every dis
advantageous circumstance. His rec
ord is thirteen victories and nc
defeats. ~

nately fremont did not stand the

"For Politics Only"
From Letter From the Late Epes Randolph, Railroad
Man, to Representative Carl Hayden of Arizona

There is an insect In certain parts of
Mexico called the alacran. The female
of this species gives birth once in her
lifetime to a dozen or moro infant ala
Grams who Immediately climb upon the
body Of the mother and subsist upon her
until she is no more. When Socialism
first blossomed In this country the rail-
roads belonged. for the most part, to a
few men. The demagogue politician
thought it a fine scheme to initiate the
baby alacrans, Jump on the Huntingtons
and Hills and suck the life blood out OF
the railroads because these wicked fell
lows had dared amass fortunes. The
work was quickly done. but the doers
forgot to stop when railroads no longer
represented individual fortunes.
The late z. II Hartman induced
the investment of several hundred mill
ion dollars In the Southern Pacific and
other Western roads, and thus gave to
the people OF this country the best trans
portation system the world has ever
seen and at the lowest rates for SER
vice. Mr. Harriman's ownership In the
Southern Pacific, as shown by the COM
pany books, was 1,100 shares Of stock,
par value 800. His efforts caused the
country to prosper as 1t had never pros
pered before, and incidentally earned
modest dividends for the $4,000 owners
OF the company's securities. many Of
whom were widows and orphans. Mr..
McAdoo In one year only put this great
transportation system. which it required
thirsy-fve years OF brain and energy to
create, ION the bum," and your very con-
stituents are to-day crying out for relief.
Why did McAdoo do this? The answer
Is For politics only" and he didn't get
the job at that.
The rancher to-day gets all the labor
he wants for Is cents an hour and others
stand by begging to work at the same
rate. The railway company is forced
by law to pay the same type Of labor,
engaged Just across the fence from the
farmer. "a cents an hour. Why is this?
For politics only"
When will you lawmakers give your
constituents proper relief? Ny guess is
you will do so when the reason shall
become ''for politics only" and not be-
FORE In other words. when the great
mass OF voters wake up and learn that
railroad headquarters are located in the
Capitol at Washington and not In San
Francisco. Tucson or elsewhere, as they
now believe to be the case. A govern
mental agency to-day fixes freight rates ;
another governmental agency fixes rail-
road wage rates. but no governmental
agency guarantees that the holder Of a
railroad security shall have one dollars

"AnsI want is fun explanation

Now this town wants a full expla'

Mr.. RYAN handled Morton Pete sc
wonderfully.
It wants to know just how he was
able to buy for Commissioner EN-
RIGHT 5000 shares of Morton Pete
at So a share on a day when Morton
Pete did not sell at less than $4.25 a
sharc in the market.
Fs there, perchance, a cash and
carry store in Wall Street where
stoc may be had at half the market

Mayor HYLAN's Police Commits
slousr may easily fall back on his
iun,cence, cushion himself on hi
clear conscience. He can say thai
he knew nothing of the price a
Inch Morton Pete was selling In TIT
raarket; or that he did not know
that there was market at all.
Mr.. RYAN, however, has no suct
ra,uge. He is broker as well as

secret and become rich.
