C. fBeeoming Glasses Cost No More) <V, Mwan??i NEWS FR (Acme is Published By the Eo Cotto 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 nn nr/^oro ft# -n ~ MVVVJJ/VVM V?? Vi. UU1 W V* O VVU Vi 111U1V>. 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.
