IHe Banks Chief Business

ME chief business of bank is the extend ing of credit which is kind of technical expression for lending money.
 The measure of banks prosperity is the amount of money it has to lend to industry and the wisdom with which it makes the loans.
 There never is any trouble in finding people who want to borrow money. In fact great number of folk devote good part of their time to seeking out people who have money they hope to be able to borrow.
 The wisdom with which bank makes loans affects not only its standing and that of the different businesses to which 1t gives credit, but the welfare of the whole community.
 This bank does business of million dol lars a day, and it's standing is evidence of the wisdom of it's business judgment and of its sense of responsibility to the community.

 It was his own insistence. carried even to the Premier of Quebec that the coroner's probe be proceeded with, that resulted in the sudden changed the priest from an hunter to defendant.
 Father DeIorne shortly after the boys body was found offered a re- ward of S1,000 for apprehension or the slayer. During subsequent weeks whispers spread through a highly ex- cited community linking the priests name with the case
 The reasons for this startling turn of events revealed before the coro- ner's hearing, caused jury compos- ed almost entirely of Catholics to to l. It was shown that Father De- lorme few days before the death had his brothers life insured for s25,OOO, that he influenced his brother to have the policy made pay able to his heirs whereby he, Father De1orne would profit; that Father Delorme told conflicting stories about his brothers will. which, when found, proved the priest would profit about $1O.000 a year through his brothers death.
 Testino ony was submitted showing the ca1ibre of the bullet used was the same as that of a revolver found In the priests car, and that the seats of his car had been scrubbed in an apparent effort to clear it of stains.

kU KLUX DENY THEY WILL
KIDNAP NEGRO IN CANADA

Atlanta, Ga, May Officials at
headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan
here today declared they had no
knowledge of any plans being formu-
lated by members of their organiza-
ton to kidnap Matthew Bullock, the
negro wanted at Norlina,, N. c., on
murder charges, from Hamilton, On
tario, to bring him back to North Ca
rolina.
Reports from Hamilton stated that
Bullock had fed to another country,
but his whereabouts was not disclos-
ed.
In the absence of Colonel William
J. Simmons, imperial wizard, F. L.
Savage, chief Of staff, declared the
Klan has had nothing to do with the
Bullock case and no efforts were be-
ing made officially to bring the negro
back to the United States.

GET MANY RETIIRNS
Fnp INCOME TAX
THOUSANDS OF CHECKS POUR
INTO TREASURY
Monday Last Day to Make Payments
Unless Time Extended by Tax
Commission

Inc OLaCe, Z.
Income taxpayers flooded the state
treasurer with checks yesterday and
the tax commission with returns,
mail at these two Offices being excep-
tionally heavy throughout the day.
Not all the returns were received
during the day, however, and many
were mailed late in the afternoon
that will reach the Offices today.
At the state treasurer's Office it
was said that check for four cents
had been received from one taxpayer.
This will probably be the smallest
, tax to be paid by South Carolinian.
A lot of returns are being received
where no tax is due, but the four
cents check is the smallest to come
in to date.
Yesterday was the last day to make
returns unless extensions Of time
were granted by the tax commission.
The commission granted lot Of ex-
tensions for short periods and a large
number Of extensions on one-haf Of
the tax.
Judging by the returns and checks
coming in yesterday the new act Will
bring in considerable revenue, but
probably not as much as Some of the
/ legislators figured. Senator Sam H.;
McGhee of Greenwood, promoter of
the present law, Believed at the time
it was passed that it would bring in
near s2,000,000. The free confer
ences on the general appropriation
bill figured the amount somewhere
near 81, 100000 while others give the
figure around $700,0o0. -
The tax commission is working hard
to get the new law operating prop
erly and within the next few weeks
will have every taxpayer checked up.
The commission has the names of all
the persons paying the federal gov
ernment tax and this will be Of
much help in inforcing the law.
No figures were available as to the
amount of money received yesterday
as this was task that could not be
,, accomplished in one day with thous-
ands and thousands of returns and
checks coming in.
Some interesting returns were re-
ceived during the day. One man sent
in his return on a federal blank, de-
claring that the federal blank was
much simpler than the state report.
Another taxpayer sent nothing but a
letter in which he swore he paid the
federal government so much and
owed the state government certain
figure He said the blank sent him
was "too much" for him.

PITCHERS BATTLE
GOES TO LUTHERANS
Furman Defeated, Two to Nothing
Luther Besting Mcleod at
Newberry

Newberry defeated Furman here
Tuesday afternoon by the score of
2 to 0 in the fastest game of the sea-
son on the local grounds. The old
rivals, Luther and Mcleod, engaged
in a pitchers battle but the former
had the best of the argument. The
Newberry hurler was in great form
and was never in danger except IN
the fourth. The visitors succeeded
in getting three men on the bases IN
that frame as result of base on
balls and some loose fielding, there
being no outs at the time but the big
fellow retired the side in great style
Mcleod pitched splendid game but
he was a little unsteady at times
There were few fielding features IN
asmuch as there was little free hit
ting on the part of both teams. Rob
inson played the best offensive and
defensive game for Newberry,, al,
though F. Shealy made brilliant
play in tagging a Furman player out
on an attempted steal Of second
Drummond played we'll at first fol
the visitors.
Score by innings:
Furman 1000 900 000-0 3

CLEAN UP-PAINT P-KEEP IT Up, MAY 1870
CITIZENS INVITED TO USE
CHAMBER COMMERCE ROOMS
Beard Of Directors Ask That Reser'
vations Be Made in
Advance

Some months ago the board of di-
rectors of the Newberry chamber of
commerce placed an article in the pa
pers inviting the general public to
use the chamber of commerce rooms
for various meetings. This invitation
was accepted very generally as dur
ing the past few months there have
been many meetings held in the
of commerce headquarters for meet
The board again wishes to invite the
citizens to make use of the chamber
of commerce headsuarters for meet
ings, but at the same time they state
that reservations for meetings will
have to be made in advance, due to
the fact that during the past few
weeks two or three meetings were
called to meet at the same time which
caused some confusion and possibly
some little inconvenience, and in the
future all persons wishing to hold
meetings in the chamber of commerce
rooms are requested to notify the Sec
retary as much in advance as pos.
sible. This notification will be deep
ly appreciated courtesy as it will pre-
vent confusion, and then it does not
take great deal of time to call the
secretary and make arrangements fol
the meeting in advance. The office
of the chamber of commerce is open
from 500 a. m. until p. M, and Ell
ther the secretary or assistant secre-
tary will be found in the--efice dur,
ing these hours.
1t is hoped by the board of direc-
tors that no one will misunderstood
this article as they feel that this ar
rangement is best for all concerned
and surely any one wishing to use the
Office for meetings should not object
to making reservations in advance.

President.

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN
MAY Is TO 20

If study were made Of the many
interpretations of the United States
and of sections thereof that Europe
ans have made, it would be found,
we believe, that not a few of these
touring critics base their judgments
of the civilization attained by states
and towns, so far as externals are In
dicative, on the state of the houses
and outbuildings they saw. Properly
painted, they at least indicated thrift
and some eye for color values and the
rudiments of aesthetics.
What the sensible persistent use of
paint will do in country or city can
be noted by any automobilist. 1t adds
value to properties when sales are
forced or voluntary. 1t saves was
tage otherwise inevitable because of
the elements. 1t enables persons re-
sponsible for family standards to
come nearer their ideals. 1t tones up
the self-respect of ne:ghborhood,
town, city or state.
Some sections of the United States
have been rather slow to learn the
relation of paint to patriotism and to
pride; but taking the country as a
whole, it sees this close connection
with more certainty than it did dec
ade ago. The increased production
of materials used in making paint is
20 much greater than usual that it is
being credited chiefly to the rapidly
developing campaign for community
Improvement which has for it's slogan
Cleanup and Paint-up." SO surely
and practically does organized effort
for civic good register itself in sta
tistics of trade that cannot be i'm
peached by the most skeptical of
Philistines!
Let every citizen of Newberry en-
ter into the Cleanup and Paint-up
campaign scheduled for our city May
1920 with determination to make
Newberry the cleanest city in the en-
tire state of South Carolina.

GREATER NEWBERRY DINNER
TO BE STAGED ON MAY 18TH
Every Organization in City to Join
Hands in Large Get-Together
Meeting

Possibly one of the largest get
together" meetings ever held IN the
city ,of Newberry will be staged on
Thursday, May 25th, when practical
ly every organization in the city will
Join hands and have Greater New
berry dinner The idea Of this din
ner was launched by the Newberry
chamber of commerce, and on last
Monday afternoon representatives
from the various organizations met in
the Office of the chamber and organ
lied into a general committee and
formed plans for this event.
The idea of the dinner is not to
solicit funds as absolutely nothing
about money will be mentioned, but
merely to bring the citizens of New
berry city and county closer together
in order that greater results toward
the upbuilding of our community may
be accomplished during the year
1922.
Organizations represented at the
meeting on Monday and those ex-
pected to take part in staging the dim
ner are: The Newberry chamber of
commerce, the Civic league of New
berry, the New5erry Rotary club, the
Newoerry Kiwanis club, the city OF
Newberry, the American legion, the
Sons of Confederate Veterans, the
Calvin Crozier chapter, U. D. c., the
Drayton Rutherford chapter, U. D.
c., the D. A. R., the Winthrop Daugh-
ters and the Women's auxiliary Of
the American legion.
DR.. J. w. Carson, Chairman
DR.. J. W. Carson, pastor of the A.
R. P. church and president of the
Newberry Kiwanis club, was unan-
mously elected as general chairman
of the committee on making prepara-
tions for the dinner, while other COM
mittees appointed were: Program
committee, Rev. E. V. Babb, char
man; DR.. j. W. Carson. Executive
committee, T. K. Johnstone, chair
man; L. G. Eskridge, c. P. Mcdaniel
Mrs. Clara L. Wright, Mrs. F. K.
Hunter. E. J. Dickert and Rev. E. V.
Babb.
While it is impossible at THE time
to give any outline of the program
for the meeting, it is expected that
there will be one out of town speak
err and one local speaker and possibly
some musical selections. 1t has not
definitely, been decided, but it IS eX-
pected that the dinner will be held IN
the Legion hall as this hall is the on
" one in the city large enough to ac-
commodate the large crowd that Will
attend. The serving Of the dinner
! will in all probability be in charge OF
the Civic league of NeW0erry. with
these ladies IN charge, it is needless
to say that a very appetizing menu
will be served.
Let every citizen of Newberry re-
member the date of the dinner and
not let anything keep them away, fo1
indeed this is going to be a big time
in Newberry and every member OF
every organization, as we'll as those
who are not members Of any organ
ization will be expected to attend.
