Whereas a petition of the majority of the freeholders of the Town of Clinton, County of Laurens, State of South Carolina, as shown by the tax books, has been filed with the Town Council of the said town praying for *an order for a special election in said town for the purpose.nf-aubmitting. to the qualified registered electors of the said town of Clinton the question THE IIAPPI- MEASCRE OF NEKS. * There is more happiness in the world than most of us dream of in our philosophy. For that reason many people arc more happy than wc consider them to be and are frequently the objects of wasted sympathy. A man is happy when he is obtaining that which he de sires and for the reason that we cannot fathom the desires of oth ers we fajl to fathom the depths of their happiness. A man may lead a threadbare existence taking toll from his earn ings only for the bare necessities of life. After a long life of toil and penury he has acquired a farm, perhaps, and a s*tor^ and a .gin and added" materially to his hank balance. Then old age and ill health overtake him and the question arises as to whose shall those things he that he -has ac quired. Does it seem that the man’s lot has been hard and* unsatisfac tory! Not necessarily so. He found joy in accumulating and economy was a pleasure to him. He is happy because he has found what he was seeking. Another man is a and lays np no store ture. He is never far from bank ruptcy and poverty, but each day he spends his money as freely as if he were the possessor of unlim ited means. He may he the despair of bill collectors, but he continues to travel his chosen road in*,seeur- ing the things that he desires. The spendthrift places his ha'ppmess - in the present and finds no less joy than the man who hoards his resources. There is therefore more happi ness in the world than we are prone to imagine and a man is not necessarily to he pitied because he does not fceek happiness along those avenues which appeal to us most. While it may not be tme that happiness can be measured with a yardstick there are different grades of contentment and many a man seeks happiness upon too low a level and some brands of eop- _ tentinent are not as broad as they are long. ton, S.

Washington, Nov. 7.—Appeals of su gar refiners in Cuba for coal were met conditionally tonight through orders issued by the railroad administration central coal committee, which modify the original export coal embargo. Un der the new regulations the Cuban re finers will be permitted to buy coal here provided they sign agreements to ship their sugar production to this country. The sugar shortage in the United States was admitted to have been the deciding factor in the discussion to change the committee’s embargo. Es timates of the amount of coal required by the Cuban refineries varied, but officials believed the amount would not be sufficiently large to affect material ly the American coal stocks. Relief from the sugar shortage obtained as a result of tfie excbange nWf permitted is expected to be felt within the next two weeks.
