Another informal dance was held on Wednesday night, in the Armory. Many young people were in atten 'dance, and the affair, as usual with dances in Newberry, was a success. The Newberry of yesterday was a town of which her citizens should be proud. For the greater part of the day the streets were filled with little else than their Sunday stillness, an'd most of the stores were closea. The religious services were well-at tended. The football game on yesterday afternoon between two teams which styled themselves "town" and "college," resulted in a score of o to o. Training had been kept up the past few weeks, and the boys were in good condition. Spectators said the game was one of the clean est and best ever witnessed on the local field. Credit is due the cap tains and players on both elevenk. MTany local hunters took to the woods and fields on yesterday and spent Thanksgiving in disporting themselves in the chase - for the rabbit and the search for the par tridg!. Some of them met with no li'.tle degree of success. Doubtless the birds and the beasts assembled in some forsaken spot last night to give thanks that Thanksgiving pretty faithfully on both sides comes only once a year. Executive Committee Meeting.

Mrs. Julia Kinard Loses Valuable - Property Near Ninety-Six On last Friday evening, at about seven o'clock, fire broke out in a large gin house on the plantation of Mrs. Julia Kinard, near Ninety-Six, and destroyed the building together with six bales of cotton and about eighteen hundred bushels of cotton seed. The insurance was only $300. So far as can be learned the fire was of accidental origin. The whole country side turned out to aid in the attempt to save the building, but their efforts were futile. There were nearly twenty bales of cotton stored under the gin house, and these were saved intact. The gin house was very close to the dwvelling and the other buildings on the farm. and at one time it was feared the flames would spread. This, however, was -revented. Mrs. Kinard is well-known in Newberry. having originally come from this county and being related to many Newberry county families. A Chinese Radish. There is a white Chinese winter raish on exhibition at the Mayes dr2g store which in point of size and weiht is one of the finest ever seen in this section.

The citizens' meeting will be held again on Friday night pursuant to adjournment to hear the report of the committee appointed to suggest changes in the charter of the city. In accordance with the resolution of the last meeting the report of the committe is published for the in formatior of the citizens. To the Citizens of the Town of Newber,.y: Your committee, appointed to sug gest such changes in the charter of the town as to it seemed desirable, begs leave to report the following suggestions with its favorable report thereon for your consideration at a meeting ordered to be held on Friday night, November 25th, 1904. i. That the charter be so amended as provide for two aldermen from each ward as now laid out-the term of office to be for two years except that at the first election (in Decem ber,1905) one alderman shall be elect ed for one year and one for two years so that thereafter one election shall be held annually at the time now fixed by law for one alderman from each ward-the other aldermen holding over. 2. That where a vacancy occurs in the office of mayor leaving an unex pired term of not exceeding sixty days, the aldermen shall elect one of their number as mayor pro tem to serve during such unexpired term. 3. That the term of office of the mayor and aldermen run with the calendar year. 4. That the mayor and aldermen shall meet at least once a month for the transaction of business on a day to be fixed by ordinance, duly passed and published, and as much oftener as the business of the town may re quire. 3. That the words "not to exceed in value in the aggregate the sum of fiftv thousand dollars." in Section 22, of the charter, be stricken out. This relates to the limitation of the power of the town to hold real and personal property. These propositions are submitted in this general form. Their adop tion will necessitate some additional amendments to carry out the ideas involved. Your committee has con cludeA that the proper course to pur sue with regard to such additional amendments is to let them await your action on the general proposi tions submitted above. It will be time enough to throw them in shape to be embodied in the petition re quired by Section 1996, Vol. I, Code of Laws 1902, to be submitted to the town council as the basis on which to secure an election on the question of amending the town charter.
