The reports of various committees were received. The committee on the road to the J. H. Tinsley camp reported satisfactory progress in the work, which, it v/as said, would be completed in a few days. Considerable discussion was brou ght out in connection with the report of the committee on good roads. A strong sentiment in favor of working the road from Rosman to Pickens County Line developed. J^o spec ial recommendation, however, was adopted. The committee on the ball park re ported that the work there had almost been completed and that over $200 had already been spent. The advertising committee has pre pared a circular letter, which appears elsewhere in this issue of The News. The question of providing rest ben. che on Main Street and at other plac es was discussed. Serious objection was urged against the movement so far as Main Street was concerned, but a committee was appointed to loot after the matter of providing l>fen- ches at the ball park and possibly elsev/here. This^ommittee consists i of R. K. Zachary, C. H. Klueppel- berg, C. P. White and J. A. Miller. • Two applications for membershipt’ were, acted upon favorably.
