Summer. chairman of t the committee on the interurban tro!- I ley line, submitted his report in writ ing as follows: A Report of the Committee on the In terurban Line From Clinton to Newberry. After taking up the matter of thei survey of the line from Clinton to Newberry with Mr. W. J. Thackston, president, and Mr. E. A. Smythe, chairman of the executive committee) of the Greenville, Spartanburg- and, .jAnderson Railway 'company, we are< advised that at the present time theyi could not survey the line from Clintoni to Newberry, as they first wanted to 1 get the main line built before they< 'would take up the building of short< lines to other cities. We think there is a probability of a getting the line built sometime in the future, as it is the opinion of most 'of the citizens of Greenville and Laur ens that the line will be built to Co- t lumbia.~ We would not advise trying to do anything more at the present time, but keep in touch: with the people along the line between here and] 'Greenville, as we think, some day, J there is a probability of getting the line built to Newberry, and no doubt J extended on to Columbia. II We strongly recommend that the t 0mmerce of Doing Thin :o do all in our power to get the lii :o Newberry, as we are satisfied NeN )erry will offer good opportunities f< mother railroad in the near futur -%ith the building of more cotton mil md other enterprises now conter lated. the inducement will be grea Geo.

Thackston in which he stated th t was the purpose of the promote >f the trolley line, first to secure tl nain line and then to extend to tl >ther communities. Mr. Summer w, )f the opinion that this line would 1 )uilt from Greenville to Columbia v: Cewberry, but he did not see th here was anything that could be doi Lt present but he recommended th. he matter be kept before the char er of commerce. Of course, his cor nittee will look after that matter. Augusta-Northern Road. Dr. Jas. McIntosh, chairman of ti ommittee on the Augusta-Northei -ailroad, stated that, his committ( iad held a meeting ,nd th'ey had.wri en to Mr. McNeely, requesting him i ome to Newberry for a conferen< ith the committee, and -that he hE 'eceived a letter in reply, stating th. dr.

Bowles, of the speci. :omfmittee on Meuring d furniture ar nattress factory, stated that the gei leman who had made inquiry aboi ewberry had already made his a: 'angements before the committee g< nto communication with him, and ha stablished his factory in Virgini dr. Bowles stated that he had ma ome inquiries as to the raw materi, vithin reach of Newberry and he w atisfied that there was sufficient i naintain a half dozen factories for f rears, and that it could be obtainE uch cheaper than such materi :ould be had in North Carolina or .ny of the points at which the furn ure factories are now -operating. E hought there were great possibil ies for a furniture factory in' Nev erry if a man could be secur~edi perate it who -knows his b%sines; ~he largest factories now in existenc re at Grand Rapids, Mich., Hig oint, N. C., and Atlanta, Ga., and a f these factoi ies were sh.5pping the aw material from long distances an aying much more for it than th ame material could be obtainedi ~ewberry. He was of the opinic hat a mattress factory could I perated here to an adyn tage. Mr. W. A. McSwain indorsed whi Ir. Bowles had said, and from the e: >erience that he had had in conne< ion with furniture factories he WE atisfied there was no b,tter locatic han Newberry so far as securing ti aw material was concerned. The Alligator Rock BrIige. Mr. C. T. Summer'spoke on the at antages that have accrued to Nev erry by the building of the ste< ridge across Saluda river at Allige or Rock. He said that this brida gas half way between the other tw teel bridges connecting Newberi eith Saluda and equi-distant -frol ~rosperity and Newberry. This brida as of great advantage to the peop] f Saluda in that it put a good markt earer to them. but to .greater advar age to the business interests of Net erry because it opened to the me' :hants a larger field from which 1 [raw trade. The Saluda people pre er to trade at Newberry, but the ferr vas in the way. Mr. Summer complimented the pet >d~ of Saluda and stated that their was a very valuable trade becaus hey generally knew what they wan d and were able to pay for what the ot. The completion of this bridg vill bring more cotton to Newberr hich, of course, brings more trad t also brings the people of Salud .nd Newberry closer together and h ras satisfied as soon as the bridg ras completed, the merchants of Nev erry would get busy in their effort o secure 'this trade. WThat we neede< not greater than that of the C., C. & C railroad. The bridge would not h worth much if there was no road fror the bridge to Newberry and the roa is as necessary as the bridge. He wa satisfied that the trade would net sufficient amount to warrant an out lay which would be enough to mak >r a good road from Newberry to tb e, bridge. Is Mr. J. B. Mayes, who was also o _ this committee indorsed what Mi Summer had said that Newberr ought to put the road in good condi tion if she had to pay some money i order to do it. Newberry Needs the C., C. and 0. M Dr. W. G. Mayes, who was one C 3t the party on the trip of the chamber rs of commerce over the C., C. & 0. rail ie road, said that this was a road tha ie Newberry wanted. That the Newberr, ts party had a most delightful trip in )e the railroad people were exceedingl ia courteous in showing them,,the coa .t mines and the places of interest aldn ie the road and he felt that the peopl It of Newberry ought to do everythin - that they could to secure this road. 2- Mr. R. D. Smith, another member c the party, gave an extended accour of the trip and the beauty of th e scenery and the stability with whic -n the road was built and stated tha e there was no telling what it woul _ bring to this country. He said that 1 - would soon be extended to Cincinna e and when it is built from Spartanbur A to Charleston it will be the greates t trunk line in this country and he fel it that it was bound to be built. H o stated that they carried some of th longest freight trains that he had eve seen. If Newberry doesn't gef thi railroad, Mr. Smith said, she will mis 1 the greatest thing of this age. If w A can get nothing else at this time w ought to make every effort to secur this road via Newberry on its way t it the coast. >t Mr. W. B. Wallace, another membe . of the party, said he had never at a. tempted to speak to a party of gentle Le men but he was .so enthusiastic as t 1l the advantages of securing the C., C s & 0. via Newberry, that he could no o refrain from attempting to say some 5 thing. I.t would mean a great deal t d us if this road was built and he urge t .everY citizen of Newberry to becom t enthusiastic for the road. .~ Enforcement of Law. e Mr. W. H. Wallace was appointe . to speak on some of the needs of New Sberry, and he ha4l made up his min o0 after hearing and realizing the enthu s sism of the party who went over th e C., C. & 0. railroad, that he was goint h to take a trip himself over that roac 11 He said that there were a grea ir many things that Newberry needec d but he was going to speak of only on e and that one is obedience to law. H n said that Newberry was spending; n great deal of money and the two big ,e gest items of expense were about $12, 000~ which it paid its school teacher tt and five or six thousand dollar c which went to its police force. If th _. schools do not make obedient citizen s5 then they are failing i'n one thing an4 n if the police department does not se e cure order, it was failing. A child i not an asset that is worth much to th community if it is not an obedien child so as to develop into an obedien citizen. There were some people wh 1are in favor of a wide open town. Th 1.Bible speaks of a wide open way o road and states that such a road lead to hell. He said that we did not nee! Sliquor houses or blind tigers. We nee 2 a sober people. We need to sustail our churches and to teach obedienc eto law and to constituted - authority tHe had heard of some legislators wh carried pistols in their pockets anm some who sold liquor. If we can hay. a citizenship which will obey the laws an obedient citizenship, if we neve become a large town, we will be: 'prosperous town. Saluda River Bridge. Mr. Z. F. Wright. who was to speal son the same subject, said he couli not think of anything that Newherr: needed. She had twelve or fifteel thousand laiw abiding citizens, th' best chamber of commerce in th; State, execept Columbia, the fines schools without ever having any kick aing about the schools, two of the bes cotton mills in the State. and we are egoing to have a better one, the pret tiest women, and we were going ti s build a bridge for the Saluda peopli a across Saluda river and were placin: BIG RED MEN'S RALLY " IN CITY OF ANDERSON s S '' a 6REAT SAMHEI OTTO RLETT - NER'S FINE ADDRESS. e e Magnificent Parade of Five Tribes. Followed by AddAcbses at Park. a Big Crowd. Saturday was Red Men's day at An - derson, and, with the attendance of a Great Sachem Otto Klettner, of New berry, fhe big crowds, the magnificent parade, and the enthusiasm of the Red Men and the people in attendance gen s erally from throughout the State, its - results will be far-reaching for the t gopd and upbuilding of the order. It was a rally which was inspiring to every Red Man in attendance, and this inspiration will reach hundreds of 1 other Red Men in South Carolina. Great Sachem K-lettner left Newber e ry on Friday afternoon, in order to be present on Saturday morning. He was accompanied by Sachem Jno. K. f Aull, of Bergell tribe, No. 24, New t berry, whom Great Sachem Klettner e deputized for the occasion as great a junior sannap. t The events of the day began with a parade which was participated in by t five of the tribes of Anderson county. The tribes were in regailia which E were handsome and which did a great t deal of credit to themselves and to t the order. There were several very e unique features, not the least of which e was a squaw in Tecumseh tribe, No. r 6, carrying a papoose-and nobody s during the whole day had a more roy s al time than this little fellow. Anoth e er unqiue feature was that of Conas e tee tribe, No. 15-a float representing e a tent, in front of which sat a Red Man, and Just in front of him was a tripod holding a pot over a fire. By r the man's side was a small goat be - decked with ribbons. -- Great Sachem Klettner reviewed 3 the parade with the judges, and he said that it was one of the best dis t plays of the order which he had ever - witnessed. Two prizes had been, of ) fered, one of $50 and one of $25, for I the two tribes making the best dis play. The first prize was awarded to Teeumseh, No. 3, and the second to Conastee, No. 13. The judges were i J. K. Aull, of Newberry; and Messrs - C. N. C. Boleman and E. P. Vandiver. i The prizes were delivered by Mr. Aull - following the addresses at ethe park a casino. The procession composed at least -300 men. It was reviewed from the t Hotel Chiquola. The displays -were all so good that everybody regretted a that all of them c.ould not be award Sed a prize. I When the procession reached the 'park, an exhibition was given on the - baseball grounds. Afterwards the i Red Men and their friends entered 3 the casino, where the addresses were Sdelivered. 3 Those who heard the addresses corn i pletely filled the casino, and, in fact, - there was not standing room when a Great Sachem Klettner began his ad dress, and the crowd on the outside was even larger than the crowd in t. side. ) The Hon. .J. E. Craig, chairman of the local committee, presided, and in r troduced Great Sachem Klettner as 3. the first speaker. Dealing with the i bistory, principles and aims of the or i der, he delivered an address which it 1 would have done every Red Man in the State good to hear. He began with -an appreciation of the success of An ) derson's home coming week and of i the public spirit and enterprise which had made it the great success which .it was. He then took up the history r of the order from its formation down i to the present time. The principles of freedom, friendship and 'charity, for which it stands, he discussed in an eloquent manner, :and he brought i them home to his hearers, telling them of their duty, as members of the 1 order, to keep true in their alleg 3 iance to country, to befriend a brother Sand to extend the hand of charity. t Love of home, of fellow-man, of coun try and of God were included in the principles of the order, he said. While y the width of the blue waters of a great ocean separated him from the > land of his nativity he believed in America, his adopted home, and words than "Home, sweet home." The spirit of a famous and beautiful 'poem was in his words when he told his hearers that love of fellow-man was love of God, and that the way to shov Eriendship and love of fellow-man was to do acts of kindness and deeds of sweet charity-charity, which, being translated, really means love and love applied, and which the Master named as the greatest of the three great es sentials. Great Sachem Klettner's address showed deep study, not only of the principles of the order but of human ictivities. He was frequently inter rupted by spontaneous applause, and it the conclusion of his address he was given an ovation. -No synopsis 3ould do credit to his address. It must have been heard to be appre ,iated. The Rev. J. F. Vines, who followed 3reat Sachem Klettner, is pastor of >ne of the Anderson churches. He ok as the subject of his address the principles of the order, "Freedom, Friendship and Charity." He is an loquent speaker, and he handled in i masterful manner his great subject. Following the addresses, and after ) few appropriate remarks by Chair nan Craig the prizes were awarded. Great Sachem Klettner and Sachem Aull were handsomely -entertained while in Anderson. On the evening of thteir arrival they were taken for an utomobile driver over city and vicin Ity by Chairman Craig and Mr. J. E. Barton, in Mr. Barton's handsome car, and many other courtesies were ex tended them. They were met on their rrival by Mr. A. M. Carpenter, edi tor of the. Anderson -Mail, and Chair man Craig, and from that time until they left they were most considerately and royally taken care of. iThe rally was a credit to the order. rhe Tegalia and the floats and other Eeatures were costly, which showed the interest which 1the tribes are tak ng in the order. The attendance was large, not only of Red Men, but of he people generally. There was noth Ing to mar the pleasure of the occa sion and the stimulus which th'e or ler received in that section of the tate is incalculable. J. K. A. Mr. Klettner on Anderson. The following is from the Ander son Daily Mail of Saturday: "I have'never* seen a town which aas made more remarkable growth in the past few years, and a towi with greater possibilities for the future :han Anderson," remarked Great Sa :hem Otto Klett'ner, of the Ggeat louncil of the Improved Order of Red Wfen, who was in the city today for he Red Men's Rally. Great Sachem Kiettner some twen y years ago traveled this territory n the interest of the mercantile hous ~s which he was then representing. or a number of years past, however, e has been located permanently in Kewberry, where he conducts a large eneral merchandise business. His last trip to Anderson was six rears ago, and natu'rally when he ar -ived in the city yesterday afternoon, 1e was surprised to note the evide@es )f progress siI;tee that time. "Anderson's home coming," he said, 'while it must have come up to the Tost sanguine expectations of An lerson's warmest and truest support rs; is rno surprise to me, because I Cnow enough of Anderson to realize :hat when she gets out to do a thing she does it." Great Sachem Klettner is accom Janied to Anderson by Sachem John . Aull, of Bergell tribe, Newberry, of vhich Great Sachem Klettner is a nember, and which is the banner tribe laing the largest membership and. >f numb eijig among its members the reat sachem and one of the great 'epresentatives to the Great Council >f the United States. Great Sachem Klettner and Sache-m kull have been the recipients of much ttention during their stay in Ander ;on. They were met by Mr. J. H. Taig, chairman of the local Red den's committee, and were made to eel at home immediately upon their rrival. Last evening Mr. J. E.
