A man residing in Chester, or Darlington, or Greenville, is not enthusiastic over putting his money, in a college in Clinton if an attitude of indif ference and stinginess is manifest ed by the people of the eomnmni- ty where it is located. If ,our folks fail to respond, and that glad ly and liberally, then we have no moral right to expect other towns or individuals to be interested. The undertaking is one that should appeal to us all, especially our men of wealth, those who own the property and have the most materially at stake in the growth vember, 1919. The said W. D. Cope land, Supervisor of Registration, will have his office open for the purpose of registering voters from nine o'clock A. M. to four o’clock P. M. at the office of J. I. Copeland & Bro. in the tpwn of Clinton, each day except Sunday, from the 18th day of Novem ber until twelve o’clock noon on the ixmraay of yoCTtigrrms. —— At said election ^here will be two boxes one for ward’one, in which the voters from ward one will deposit their ballots; one for ward four in which the voters from ward four will deposit their ballots.

BAPTISTS MADE GOOD The Bnpttat* of flte Stad^ are to lie congratulated on the fine progress they are making in their seventy-five million dollar campaign being waged this week. This goal will Ik* reached and passed, present indications }>oint- ing to a hundred million dollars sub scription. The campaign was entered with a determination to put it over and no where along the line has there been any relaxation. In this State their quota of $.>.000,000 has already l>een over-subscribed a million dollars. Bringing the matter dose home, the Baptists of Clinton are to Ik? con gratulated for they have done their part magnificently. With a quota of $25,000 they contributed more than $33,000 last Sunday ami the fact that they came across and gave more than they were asked for makes their achievement all the more commenda ble. Brother Long and this people are to Ik* congratulated oh the enthusias tic and successful manner in which they put the pro|>osition over. In generosity, they have set a fine exam ple for those of us who are not Bap tists, manifested, so that the proposition may be put over in a big way. If at the end of the canvass, our record is one of failure, we will tender of the United States, in the sum of Two Thousand Dollars annually, from 1926 to 1930 inclusive, and the sum of Four Thousand Dollars an nually from 1931 to 1940 inclusive, and in the sum of Five Thousand Dollars have no right to expect success ( annually from 1941 to 1950 inclusive, from other communities. THE VALLE OF EDUCA TIONAL INSTITUTIONS ! prayed for in said petition: and the proceeds of the sale of said bonds to be applied solely and exclusively for the building, erecting, establishing | and maintenance of streets of the Town of Clinton, South Carolina as The cause of Christian educa tion is now claiming the.attention of our people of all denominations more than ever before. Campaigns have and are being waged by all denominations in an effort to make our church colleges greater and broader in their inffuenee. The ap peals are being responded to mag nificently and the striking feature of the big movement is the fine spirit which has taken hold of the people everywhere. A community with an educa tional institution in its midst is all the richer and to be coveted by other tovlns witlKrat-such facilities, CLINTON ON TRIAL. The decision of the Presbyterians of the State to launch a campaign for *1,000.000 in the interest of the schools of the synod will prove to be an impetus, to ihe increased ac tivity of the schools and will mark- a revival in Christian education, a cause that is now receiving increas ed attention ami support at the hands of all our dehominatjons. The fund contemplated will be di vided between Chicora college, the Theological seminaryUtbe Presby terian College and Thornwell Or phanage. Our college will get fifty per cent, *500,000; the Orphanage 12 1-2 per cent, *125,000, and in case the result is an over-subscrip tion both will share in the addi tional fund in the same propor tion. - •■ r — . . .... When we stop to reflect what the result of the campaign will moan to Clinton’s institutions we readily see that no undertaking in recent years has been of greater import ance than thitj drive now just ahead When we give our interest and money to these institutions we are giving to ourselves. This truth is forcibly set forth in the following editorial taken from The State a few days ago in commenting upon the splendid generosity manifested by the city of Spartanburg in giv ing *250,000 to Converse College last week: " The Wealth of Spartanburg ” “The people of Spartanburg have pledged *250,000 to -Con- vcimo College, whereby they have shown 84 much common sense as generosity and a great deal of both. Take oiit of Spartanburg Con verse College, Wofford College, and Kennedy library, the churches and a few oth<*r institutions sup ported by voluntary contributions and the possession of an income of half a million dollars would scarce ly compensate one for living in the town. Without them,. Spartanburg would be no better than a mining town remote front the grates of '‘ivilization. * ■. “The people of Spartanfrurg in giving to Converse give to them selves. If they had no institutions of a cultural character they would bo under compulsion to go to other cities having them to spend their money. No civilized man or wo man would care to live in a com- r munity where money buys pretty things to wear, good things to eat. ‘modem houses,’ motorcars and I- - ^—-» « nothing else. “Spartanburg would bo poorer without its colleges than without its cotton mills.’’ Whereas it appears that said peti tion is in due form of. law and has been signed by the required number of freeholders as prescribed by the Constitution and Statute laws of this State, as such provide. It is, therefore, by the Town Coun cil, of the Town of Clinton, County of Laurens, State of South Carolina, in Council assembled, and by the virtue of the same, ordered, ordained and resolved that the prayer of the peti tion be and-the same is hereby grant ed and that the question of the said bond issue be submitted to the quali fied registered electors of the said town at a special election to be held in said town on Tuesday, the ninth day of December, 1919, for the pur pose, as required by law, of submit ting said question to the qualified reg istered electors of said town; that W.
