GREENWOOD'S COMPLAINT. 1 The following paragraph is taken from the Greenwood Index-Jeurnal: ] "Complaint has been made to The < Index-Journal from one of the towns ^ in the county that cotton yesterday ] sold in Abbeville for twenty-eight * and a quarter cents the pound while ' Greenwood yesterday paid only twen- ( - " ty-seven and three quarters. It is up * to the business men of the communitv." ( This state of affairs is nothing v new. The cotton market in Abbeville has always been better than Greenwood's market, ranging from .10 to ^ 100 points. < We thought that Greenwood had t excepted the situation as inevitable and only prayed that Abbeville I County should not wake up and I build good roads so that Greenwood farmers could bring their cotton to ? the local market in sufficient quan- ^ tities to make it profitable. c Good roads in all sections of the ( county would in like manner, prove ^ profitable to the farmers living in this county. T \ \ High School Monthly. * ? ? Billy Long, advertising manager of "I'roper-Gander", the High School ^ Monthly paper, announced yesterday v that he has secured sufficient* "ads" a to insure a sound financial staus for ? the paper and it is hoped to have the first issue in the hands of the subscribers about Oct. 1st* * Charge Of Sixth Grade. \ ^ Miss Kathleen Coleman of Shelton, a 1917 Winthrop graduate, has ac- " rived in town and has charge of one section qf the sixth grade in the v city schools.

'HICKORY NUTS" OF ) 30TH DIVISION ADD I TO LAURELS I (From the Nashville Tennesseean.) H The Hickory Nuts have come and I ;one. But the v6ry pleasant taste H ;hey left in everybody's mouth last I n'crht caused the announcement that | ;hey would return next fall to be B greeted with thunderous applause. ,B No professionals could have gotten B he appreciation that was showered B >n Captain Irving O'Hay's troupe of B Thirtieth Division boys when they B nade their bow to Nashville in the B iftemoon and evening. B The fact that they wehre as good B ;ntertainejrs as had ever been seen B tere on the vaudeville stage did not B nake that packed house forget that B hey were among the boys who B roke the famous Hun line. H They were not in uniform, those B hirty-six, and for the most part their B ntertainment did not bear the stamp B f the military. But, of course, that B udience, which was made up mostly B f Thirtieth Division men and their B weethearts, just had to have a few B rmy jokes. # ' |B The dominating personality of the B how is Captain O'Hay himself, who B itroduced the performers and told B rhat they were going to do. He sug- H ested the change of scenery, told B le pfice of costumes, and gave away B lany stage secrets. Captain O'Hay was really an in^'B irlocutor, a program in disguise.1B [one of the printed variety was need B d, and there was none. ^ "I have seen many good shows," |B lid a New York woman to Hub B Wilson after the matinee, "and I B ant you to know I haven't seen one B 9 good as yours in many a day.' B [y daughter is so carried away with B that she is going back tonight." |B A Birthday Party. B Miss Gwen Bristow entertained, B i JK er class, the 11th, in the High jfl chool, and a few friends; at a de-'B ghtful party Tuesday night at her|B ome at the Baptist Parsonage. |B hree of the High School teachers B ere present and the time passed B lernly in charades, guessing con-, Bj rsts, and games.
