Brighter Hopes.
Orders for nearly 2,000,000 yard:
of ouifccloth to be delivered before
the end of August indicate a gradu
ally improving market for our prod
act which justifies brighter hopes foi
our partnership. One million one
hundred yards are to be taken from
the warehouse and will be a big help
toward clearing up the work of tht
past few months and letting us starl
our new fiscal year on an even footing.
The prices received for this
cloth from other mills was bringing
pared with the cost of its productior
to offset the loss on the cloth from
the warehouse which was produced
while costs were still high. '
One fact of which we can well be
proud is that one order gave us nearly
a cent a pound more than similar
cloth fro mother mills was bringing
on the market. This was simply because
of the satisfaction4 our cloth had
given before and proves the value of
establishing and keeping a good reputation.
Good Partner*
In the rush of recent orders calling
for immediate delivery our partners
in the cloth room showed the
sort of spirit which is sure to bring
success if all of us equally well.
George Williams and "Bud" Smith
at the press put 108,000 yards of
cloth in 108 bales within
nine hours or an average of five minutes
per bale. We congratulate these
two partners on having established
such a splendid record when time was
such an important' factor in making
the delivery.
The girls who are inspecting the
cloth also won recognition ftheir
steady, faithful work. They did so
well in the. hot weather that a big
churn of ice cream was sent into
their department for them by Mr.
Langley just before stopping time.
A little bit better business and
such co-operation will make the future
very much brighter for our
Paxtnership. j
A Valuable Conference.
An event of vital interest to our
Partnership will be the Southern Industrial
Conference on Human relations
in Industry to be held at Blue
Ridge, N". C. on July 29-31. This is
being promoted by thei Y. M. C. A.
but all mills and manufacturing
plants of the South are invited to be
represented. /
Noted men who are working toward
the same idea as our Partnership
will tell of their studies and experience,
and opportunity will be
given for open discussion of plans
or for questioning any of the speak
ers. It is only by such intercourse
between men who are working on the
same problems that confront us that
our plan can develop to the point of
being anything like nationally important.
We have a splendid start in the
race toward industrial democracy but
it is perfectly possible for us to besome
too self centered and be beaten
by others who have plodded along
more slowly than we so far.
' Mr. A. 0. ftoche, T. J. Reames,
Miss Ward and A. R. Thomas will attend
the conference as representatives
of our Plan. This is of real importance
to us in two ways; we must
keep up with new ideas ourselves and
we must let others know of the realv
ly progressive ideas we are ,working
out.
Buy Your Coal.
A supply of very good domestic
coal has been received by the company
and any resident in the village
may buV any- quantity at $8.00 per
ton. This price barely covers the cost
of the coal and its handling and delivery.
'
It is far better to order your coal
now and have at least part of it delivered
before the rush that always
comes with the first sign of bad
weather. Partial payments will be

Jolly Worker* Have Party.
The Jolly Workers can never be
accused of not living up to their
name, as was proven on Thursday,
July 14. They held their monthly social
at that time, an event which was
very nice. Each child was given the
chance to guess the age of Mis3 Ruth
Howie without seeing her, and each
one brought a penny for each year
of her age. Ida Cox, Margaret Able,
OM ACME I
ard of Selectmen of Abbeville
n Mills.) ^
and Sarah Able had to 'draw straws'
3 for the prize, and Margaret was the
i lucky one. The afternoon was spent
in playing games, and listening to
- the songs and recitations of little
: Nona Tutt. Everything ended with
i ice cream and cakes, and everybody
i had a good time. The money brought
> by the "workers" will go on the
> camping fund, which fact proves the
; point that we comlbine work and
. pleasure and become "Jolly Worki
ers."
f __
l Mothers Are Entertained
i Every mother that is not a mem_
1 ber of the Mothers' Club will realize
what she is imissing when she learns
i of the nice social that we had last
. month. Miss Lizzie Edmunds and
Miss Gwen Bristow started the
; evening off by giving several vocal
. selections, and some recitations. After
these, a race to New York was
' run by Mrs. Davenport, president of
. the club, and Miss Rebecca Edmunds.
Mrs. Davenport won toy a short margin,
and received a box of candy as
a prize. At the close of the entertainment,
mint sherbet apd fancy
cakes were served. The evening was
a delightful one, and we sincerely
hope there will be more to enjoy the
next simialr event.
Recent Deaths.
On July 17 Mr. W. P. Norrell, one
of the oldest residents of our village
was taken by death. Mr. Norrell had
worked in the Abbeville Cotton Mills
for nearly fifteen years before he
was compelled ?io give up his active
life some time ago because of the infirmities
of advancing age and sickness.
/
Mr. Norrell is survived by eight
children, five of whom live in our
village. Our sympathy is extended
to all the family and especially to
those who are our neighbors.
Our sympathy also goes out to
Mr. and Mrs. Archie Brown who lost
their baby daughter, May, by death
as a result of heart trouble last
Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have
returned here from Fairfax, Ala.,
only recently but the community
shares their, giref. They live with
Mr. and Mrs. Baker at 1 Railroad
street. \
Anothef loss was recalled by the
entire community when the body of
Mr. Edmund Langley was brought
he^e for burial. He was killed in action
in France in October. Aside
from being a son of Mr. J. B. Langley
and a brother of our superintendent,
Edmund Langley was popular
throughout our community because
of his own splendid character.
His was one of the promising lives
snuffed out by war and the loss is
ours as well as his family'.
%
Easy Saving.
You have no bother or embarrassment
to remember to go to the bank
or to save even as little as 25 cents.
There will be collectors in each department
who will accept savings
right there in the mill and give a
perfectly good receipt. These col_
lectors will 'be elected by the operatives
of the department in which
they serve.
The money and duplicate receipts
will be turned over to a treasurer
who will deposit the* entire
amount in the Operatives TrustvCo.
This money if left in the bank until
December 15 will draw interest
at the rate of 8 per cent per year.
This does not mean eight cents on
every dollar unless that dollar has 1
been on deposit for one year but
+ -1- :-4 i. A
cwii a\j uuai/ auuu nii/Ci'CSt Ull
small savings have never before
been offered. This is almost paying
us to do what we all want to do any. '
way and it is possible only because 1
the Operatives Trust Company is a
Partnership institution also and does
not pay any salaries or rent or hold
back tremendous and unfair profits
for the stockholders alone.
Make up your mind now to join
this plan as soon as it starts and it
will seem like a fairy story to find
saving so easy and profitable.
