CALENDAR SOCIETY GIVES
BIRTHDAY PARTY

The Calendar society of Central
Methodist church gave most delight
full "birthday party" Tuesday after
noon, celebrating the sixteen years
of it's existence, at the home OF Mrs.
Mary Wright.
In the spacious hallway Of this
handsome residence was the beauti.
fully adorned table upon which was
placed the birthday cake"-a crea-
ton of art, made by Miss Annie By
mum who presided over the table.
Sixteen candles adorned the huge
frosted cake-which was in reality a
camouhaged receptacle for receiving
the silver offerings brought by the
guests. The table was arranged to
represent valentine, being draped
in red tissue. From its sides were
suspended hearts from ribbons with
cards attached on which were written
rhvmes, the original work Of Miss
Bynum. These bright and clever bits
of verse created much amusement
when read.
A delightful musical program, ar
ranged by Miss Maize Dominick, was
carried out, the accompaniments be-
ing played by Miss Dominick and Miss
Troxelle Wright. The program fol-
lows:
Violin solo, "Minuet in g." Beetho-
ven, by Joe Vigodsky.
Vocal solo, "Rose Of My Heart,
by Miss Julia Johnstone.
Vocal duet, Reuben and Rachel"
Miss Pauline FAINT and the Rev. E. V.
Babb.
Vocal solo, "Two Eyes of Gray"
Mrs. W. K. Gotwald.
saxaphone duet waltz, Mr.. Busch
and Mr.. Kreps.
Vocal solo, go Heart Of Mine,"
Miss Inez Green.
Quartette, "Come Where the Lilies
Bloom,' Miss Pauline FAINT, Miss julia
Johnstone, DR.. John B, Setzler and
the Rev. E. V. Bahb.
Solo, won't You Be My Valen-
tine," Miss Pautiae Fant and chorus
of girls.
In the dining room delicious sand
wiches and tea were served, as well
as red and white mints. The table
was very beautiful, having as center
pretty basket covered with red
tissue and filled with lovely narcissi
and ferns. Attractive valentine fav-
ors were presented the guests by
Misses Troxel,e Wright and Abbie
Gaillard.
This party was one Of the loveliest
and most successful yet given by the
ladies of the Calendar society and
was greatly enjoyed by the large
number present.

A False Impression

Mr.. Editor:
Allow me space to correct false
impression. l learn that my Maybln-
ton friends have been impressed with
the idea that am trying to do them
an injury. In an effort to have the
Ashford ferry road opened up want
to say just here that this road has
nothing to do with Maybinton. And
if I thought any road would injure
any part of the county l would spare
it. And if / were a commissioner my
effort would be to benefit all parts of
the county and the counties adjoin-
ing. l would exercise broader Wis
ion. I would not narrow down to my
own front porch and doorsteps. 1
would not want a road built just be-
cause l wanted to haul big engine
over it. l would not want stream
bridged just to accommodate me and
my business at the expense and in
convenience of other people. l ask
my friends at Maybinton to relieve
their minds of such an impression and
think of ME as a broader minded cit
izen ever praying God that may
never narrow down to the limit Of
some people.
!, Respectfully,
j. S. J. Suber.

1T WAS OUR ERROR
STROTHERS WE MEANT
Dear Mr. Editor:

Dear Mr. Editor:
notice in your issue CT the 10th
i7st.. under the caption, ITO Build
:, re Topsoil Highways" N speaking
of he projected routes from Newber-
ry to Winnsboro, the following
There are two routes contendlng for
the location of this road. The one
route is down the Ashfords ferry
road out by Mr.. Thos. W. Keitt's and
Rutherford school house to Mr.. Jeff
Suber's and Shelton"
There is an error here. Il IS not
intended to go to Shelton; but to
Ashford's ferry, thence across the
river so as to connect with Winnsbo-
70.
1t is contended for, because 1t IS
the shortest route from Newberry to
Winnsboro by several miles; it is an
old established route with an excel
lent roadoed; it can be built more
cheaply than any other route; it will
serve four people or more where the
other route will serve one.
1t is understood that saving OF
$4,000 can be effected by bridging
Broad river at Ashford's ferry. This
route will serve No. 3, No. 2, and No.
II townships. 1t is the dividing line
between No. and No. IL from the
old Jno. A. Cromer home to Ashford's
ferry. The road as contended for by
others would serve only No. 5 town
ship. The idea Of the board is wise.
Build this road as suggested and
take the chaingang and make road
through No. 8. We all need good
roads. We need to build up and not
tear down.

in either county they wished. Now
it is these good people on both sides
of the river that I am representing.
These good people who have married
and mingled together in spite OF the
Parr Shoals water that lies like an
ocean between them.
These good people in Fairfield away
down to Aston and Jenkinsville who
always wanted to visit and trade IN
our town, Newberry, but for that bar
rier. this ocean of water. Yes, man,
a prominent farmer of lower Fairfield
told me yesterday that if we had a
bridge at Strother or below Strother
he would haul all of his cotton to
Newberry (and he has lot of 1t on
hand). Yea, and Newberry would
come in for a lot of trade and pleas
ant visits from those good Fairfield
people and, my word for it, when you
cause to be erected a substantial
bridge at Strother, all and more If
possible will come our way. But II
erected above Strother it will go out
of your county to Blairs then down
and up the railroad and will do mel
ther Newberry nor Fairfield any socd.
l am true American, but l am a
Newberry-American, and l am work

those few who are working for the
bridge at Blairs are working solely
for the interest Of Blairs, and Parr

The community market will be op-

are twenty-three club markets in this
state and they are helping to solve
the farmers problems, and in so do
ing the stress Of hard times is made
lighter for the merchant. Not until
we look at marketing from other
views than selfish ones will the public
be generally benefited. If every mer-
chant and butcher in Newberry will

ing the farmers economic condition
he is helping himself. In the list of
the fifty richest agricultural counties
of the United States South Carolina
boasts four. Our farmers made it so!
The club or community market is a
gainful occupation as well as a liberal
education. practical training, a
means of self expression through Gre
ative work and salesmanship, mon
ey maker and a game all combined, in
which you cna start on next to moth

could be spread from a local to
nationwide cult it would be one of
the biggest things that has ever hap
pened in the United States.

Once More About the Bridge
Mr.. Editor:


Mr.. Editor:
Please allow me space in your pa
per to correct what seems to be
mistaken idea with some people. l
have been asked by several why Wat
Henderson and I did not compromise
on some point for the proposed bridge
over Broad river. want to say that
this matter of location does not per-
sonally concern me or Wat Hender-
son and it is pity either OF US nave
had say about it, because OF his
unwarranted desire to oppose any and
all things we ask, pertaining to the
interest of the people of this section.
The bridge nay yet be located
where it will do the least good to the
majority of the people. The plah
facts in the case are that we got TO-
gether teams and people amounting to
50 weeks work on the Ashford ferry
road and asked the board to give US
the gang, a surveyor and line out the
road and we would work 1t at but
little cost to the county. 10 this L
think Mr.. Henderson raised the only
dissenting voice. We met several
times with the board, with the same
dis enting voice. Knowing the need
Of the road and the wishes Of the peo-
ne, would, had it been necessary
have gotten down on my knees ana
begged for the least encouragement
and help, to work out this road. But
we got nothing, only that the matter
would be considered finally at call
meeting of the board at which about
half were present. But they consld-
cred our road favorably. The min
utes of the meeting were sent to the
absent members. Did any of them
object except Mr. Henderson? He
raised cain ana would stand for moth
inc. Now they have sifted it down
for the board to go down the river in
a boat and locate a place for the
bridge. Now, Mr.. Editor, would you
not like to be one of the boys sailing
down Broad river in mid stream 10
eating a suitable place for bridge,
not knowing anything about the coun-
+rv which the road would lead
through from the bridge.
Now. in conclusion, want to say,
take the Ashford ferry road from
Newberry to Winnsboro via Strothers.
Many of the people below this road
on both sides of the river have mar
ried and intermarried and naturally
they feel an interest and love Tor
both counties. These people Tor Il
or Is miles have an ocean OF water
put between them by the Parr Shoals
dam. only makeshift at Dawkins and
Strother to cross this water when
thew want to visit their loved ones.
These good people are anticipating
this bridge at the nearest point be-
tween them and the head of this back
water. Now they have Dawkins fer
rv in the back water, Strother about
the head of back water, Blairs 2 miles
farther up by water and 8 to ) miles
by land.
Now we propose to knock out the
middle ferry at Strother, which offe'
every advantage, in cost, of roads and
every way. The bridge at Strother
would give these people convenient
place TO cross ana when across could

U. OF VA. HAzERS
PAINT STUDENT
Claim He Had Favored Re
moving Medical School
To Richmond.

CHARLOTTESVILLE. Va, Feb.
65.-This old college town is agog
over the reported ''hazing' of a
student in the law school at the
university, Robert A. Wade. who
was given a coat OF green paint,
with a streak of, yellow on his
back. Hair was clipped in spots
from his head. .-.r -..
Mr. Wade is bachelor of arts OF
the university and third-year
student in the law school. He
rooms in Varsity Hall and was Wis
tied late Thursday night by a half
dozen men, presumably students.
Pushing their way into the room.
they seized him and took him to a
lonely spot in the rear of Cabell
Hall, where the yaint was applied
and the clippers used on his head,
1t is alleged. that Wade had writ
ten members of the legislature that
sentiment at tn university favored
the removal Of the medical school
to Richmond. The climax, IL is
said. came when he participated
Thursday afternoon in the parade
which welcomed President Alder
man and Dean Hough, of the medi-
cal school, upon their return from
Richmond, and the alleged failure
of the young law student to remove
his hat when The Good Old Song
was rendered
