The double-header booster trip
staged by the Newberry boosters
Friday afternoon proved to be a
great success in every particular. The
automobile caravan pulled out from
Newberry promptly on time and ar
rived in Prosperity a few minutes
ahead of the scheduled time, and as
they entered the streets OF this pro-
gressive little city they were greeted
by a large crowd of citizens Of Pros
nerity and surrounding communities
who had assembled to welcome the
boosters and to hear the glad tidings
that were being brought to them.
The program at Prosperity was op-
ened with fifteen minute concert by
the Mollohon Concert band, during
which time the two hundred and nj
w boosters had time to shake hands
with a like number who had assem-
hled to greet them. After the con-
cert. which was thoroughly enjoyed
the gathering was called to order by
Representative Euston N. Kibler Who
acted as POSTMASTER and chairman OF
the meeting. In few words Mr-
Kibler expressed appreciation OF the
Prosperity people that the people o.
Newlerry had come to visit them On
q mission of friendship and better
understanding. The first speaker IN
troduced by the chairman was Dr. y.
T. Wyehe, mayor Of the city OF Pros
perity, who delivered the welcome aa-
dress. In words that could not be
misunderstood Mayor Wyche assured
the boosters that they were welcome
in Prosperity and that the people OF
his city had always felt very close to
Newberry, inasmuch as a Prosperity
man had had much to do with the
building of the city of Newberry, res
:ferring to Mr.. Henry Wheeler. Mayor
Wyche dwels at some length on the
GREAT possibilities of Newberry coun-
ty, stating that Newberry county is
the greatest county in the state, and
that number nine township is the
greatest township in the county, and
that this great township was at all
times ready and willing to cooperate
with the city of Newerry in any
movement that meant the unbuiidlAg
of the county. In conclusion Mayo
.Wyche appealed to the large audi
ence to center their efforts toward
one particular line of work-that Of
bettering our agricultural conditions
stating that we must do this # on"
county is to hold her reputation as
being the best county in the state.
Mr.. John NJ. Kinard of New'oersy
responded to the words of welcome
by Mayor Wyche and in happy
manner expressed the appreciation OF
the Newberry people for the cordial
welcome that had been extended %
them. Mr.. Kmard also spoke OF tae
wonderful possibilities of our coun-
ty and appealed to the people OF
Prosperity and Newberry to cooper
ate together to make these possible
ties reality. Mr.. Kinard made
suggestion that may be carried out
some time in the future-that the
people of Prosperity get together and
build large cotton mill at Boyd's
crossing which would in time connect
the cities of Prosperity and Newber-
ry, thereby making them enc great
city. Mr.. Kinard assured the people
of Prosperity that when they got
ready to do this Newbery would
come to their assistance and push the
great movement forward,
DR.. Geo. Y. Hunter was the next
speaker introduced. In few words
Dr.. Hunter assured the boosters that
Prosperity was glad to have them vis-
it them and hoped that these visits
would be repeated often. Dr.. Hun
ter also talked of the great poss!bil-
tiles of the county and that our aim
should be to make it the greatest
producing county in the state, bring
ing out the fact that we now have
several great industries and that we
should work for larger number,
that an industry in any section Of
