J f as numb attentkm were paid to good roads as is paid to polities we whould have so many good roads that we wouldn’t have a place to put them. Liberality never killed a town or an individual but you can’t make a tight-wad believe it. Be a booster. Stop talking hard times. People who are continually harping about hard times are not only common nuisances, but pub- lie enemies. Folks are hard to satisfy in this world. People in reasonable cir cumstances have visions of the poo rhouse. while the rich grumble that they can Vt get rich faster.

And yet here in Clinton, with a shortage of houses and a crowded population, there is little evidence pt' 7 a resumption of build ing operations. In the meantime the town is suffering .for .lack of living accommodation^. IN GOOD HANDS. A set of splendid leaders have been named to head the mnnage- ment of Clinton’s big Chautauqua sea-som—It- is -nenr- - the duty of every citizen to become a booster for the Chautauqua and to stand squarely behind the officers as they plan and work for the suc cess. of the undertaking. The offi cers and committeemen deserve the solid and substantial support of cit izens generally and The Chronicle feels that they will get it and that in no stingy degree. The Chautau- na is an enterprise of national worth and Clinton should take her place along with the thousands of other towns and cities now enjoy ing such wholesome and instructive entertainment. The success of the Chautauqua is in-the hands of the ticket commit tee in a. very large measure. -In placing Mrs. C. M. Bailey at the head of. this important equunittexy a wise selection has been made. Ln- uer her leadership it is safe to say Tbn-t-tho t'ampaign will go-fovw.ird- FEEIINB OF U1ESI GROINING successfully and that fine progress will be made. For Mrs. Bailey and the other splendid, public-spirited Indies who are associated with hof in putting the proposition across. The Chronicle bespeaks a- liberal and hearty support and encourage ment at the hands of all our people. The ehautauqua is in good hands. The fellow who stands around on the street corner looking for something to gdssip about or an op portunity toj dations adopted at the annual conven tion of the United Daughters of the Confederacy here, was the incorpora tion of the organization In the Dis trict of Columbia, which was accepted by a two-thirds majority vote of the approximate total of 500 delegates at tending. Miss Mary E. Poppenheim, of Char leston, S. C., president-general of the organization, submitted the recom mendation together with others, which included discontinuance of various war activities; appointment of a commit tee to revise-rules for.crosses of hon or; selection of a committee to w ar- range. suitable recognition of Confed erate descendants serving in the world war; completion of the educa tional endowment ffund of $50,000 and investment of the fund in the United States government bonds. Many addresses were made, all eulo gizing great Confederate men and wo men. REDUCTION OF ACREAGE fg ~ ' ANNOUNCED AS 31 PER CENT. The custom of flooding the people at this time of the year with garden seed has been done away with but nobody is the poorer thereby. It has been costing tbe government $150,000 a year it is said and has been productive of no good for the seed have not been used when re ceived. The custom will be missfed however by our congressmen and Columbia, S. C.—The south’s cotton acreage in 1919 will be 31.08 per cent less than in the previous year, accord ing to a report on acregae reduction estimates from all the cotton growing states submitted by the South Caro lina Cotton Association here.
