If you wish to vote, ypur name must be written on the enrolling book of your precinct—that is the party law, and there are no exceptions to it for anybody. The books in the various precincts of the county are now open. We want to impress upon every man and woman, that in order to be qualified to vote, your names must be etnered on the book. The fact that you have voted heretofore and have formerly been enrolled has no significance and means nothing. You must enroll now if you intend to vote. - Voting is one of the highest duties of good citizenship. To be a real good citizen, you must vote—and to vote you must enroll. io Why is it that stylish things are never comfortable? < The best feature of most of the free advice that one gets is that you don’t have to take it. If you want to see how fast time can fly, just make a sixty day note at the bank. Sone one has said, “A friend is one’s better self.” Fortunate you are, if you really have a friend. It is a pity that some folks never get any flowers until after they are carried to the cemetery. CO-OPERATIVE TOWN BUILDING We hear much now-a-days of co operation. A city is built by no parti cular class of people nor by any par ticular line of business, but by all of them working together. Clinton, for instance, can be made a great manu facturing center by the co-operation of the manufacturers. It can be made .a great educational center, by a unit- eSsjmTtbT Interest aK<f support^ to wards its institutions. It can be made a great trading center by the retail merchants working together, a strong distributing center by the co-opera tion of the wholesale people. We want it to be all of these and have other distinctive features ' that will make it a well-rounded community. That can be accomplished by co operation by all of these influences. When every factor and element is working within itself and then work ing with other factors and elements in the greater common cause a city is being built. Every cylinder must be working— constantly working, if Clinton is to Uo forward as it should. YOU NEED NOT FAIL Community growth calls for com munity co-operation. Without it Clinton will lag ^behind. Golf Tournament . Is Announced The shortest days of the year usual ly finds most of us as short as usual. We saw a fellow the other day with a corkscrew on his key ring. Some optimist. Well, if women do roll their stock ings its nobody’s business but theirs You have noticed, no doubt, that fast girls hardly ever catch a hus band. This is election year. Boll weevils and politics make it haid for the peo pie. The Clinton Golf Club announced a special golf tournament beginning ast Monday and continuing every day except Sunday until September first. The lowest scorer over 72 holes will receive honors and a box of cigars as the prize. Suitable awards will also >e given to second and third lowest scorers and a booby award to the highest score. The members of the club have re cently provided a course in Young’s Mature just below the college • and considerable interest is being mani fested in the pastime. The object of :he tournament is to stir up further interest in the game. As long as stores sell on credit, and banks loan money, most of us will never get out of debt. Another thing we don’t understand is why conceited folks get along about as well as the rest of us. It to AS TO BOBBED HAIR We have never been among those who have become all excited am worked-up over the question of bob bed hair, some who have even gone so far as to try to make a moral issue of this popular custom that now pre vails among the feminine sex. Men have enough troubles of. their own and all sensible men, either marrie< or unmarried, have long since learn ed that the women are going to dress as they see fit. And why shouldn’ they— a man dresses as he pleases Bobbed hair is necessarily no indica tion of frivolity of mind, neither is long hair an indication of brains, is a question that is entirely up the eternal feminine of all ages. They are the ones to decide it. On the subject,* The Lancaster News sagely remarks: “We can’t see but what bobbed hair is a matter for the women to settle among themselves, each in her own mind. A man generally dresses as he pleases. If he wants to boycott bar ber shops and let his hair and his whiskers grow, the newspapers don’i take sides as to whether he has right to or not. If a man enjoys the privilege of dressing as he sees fit, why shouldn’t the same privilege be accorded a woman? We know some women and girls that could improve their appearance, possibly, by bob bing their hair; we know others who would not “look good” with, hair bob bed. But in each case we can’t feel that it is up to us, or anyone else, to say what they shall or shall not do.” THE NORDIC CRAZE. TO LIVE WITH MONKEYS. TAILLESS ALLIGATORS, ETC. FOOT AND MOUTH CURE. The “purely nordic” craze has gone far. A scientific association of Ger man “racialists” proposes to plan a new state in which only those “purely Nordic” will be admitted. The scientists allege that blood teats will distinguish the purely Nor dic from the mixed breeds. That’s interesting, as there is not on all the surfaee of the earth any single sample of a plure breed, wheth er of “Nordic,” Aryan, Semitic, Mop- frfdian, ^ff-jcan or Malaysian strain. All the breeds were mficecT up" Tong ago, although they don’t know it. That new Nordic state, by the way, would exclude the founder of Christ ianity, whose mother was a Jewess. He, certainly, was not “purely Nor dic.” Here’s one original thought. John Gromardie, citizen of New York, writes to the Franklin Park Zoo in Boston, saying he’d like to be exhibit ed in the monkey house, with the other primates, “to show the public how much man resembles the ape, accordance with the Darwinian theory.” Some that live in open spaces, exas, Washington, California, Flori- a, etc., will probably suggest that if all New Yorkers adapted to demon strating the Darwinian theory were ocked up in the Zoological Garden there would be many vacancies in r ifth avenue and at Newport. Laurens To Have ——1. Kiwanis Club A joint committee from the Colum bia and Clinton Kiwanis clubs met in Laurens Tuesday to get plans under wpy for the formation of a Kiwanis club in that city.

Read in Marco Polo's Trav els that “great merchants who convey spices and drugs from one country to another are termed mussolini.” ’ v Herr Schomburgk, an African ex plorer, is accused in a Berlin court of stealing from the holy grove in Jberia the “sacred stone of the alli gator without any tail.” Tribes of the African West Coast have worshipped that sacred fetish for years, and want it back, to bring them luck. Schomburgk says he bought the fetish for $5. Only those not afraid to walk un der a ladder or sit thirteen at table eral talks were made and the plan of procedure A dozen Laurens citizens were present and H. S. Blackwell was made temporary chairman and Dr. J. H Teague, vice-chairman.. In behalf of Columbia, Mr. G. Trez Pressley spoke, while greetings from Clinton were given by Dr. Dudley Jones.

'V LAKE THOMAS TO ^ HAVE OPEN HOUSE As soon as the weather permits Lake Thomas will observe “open house” at which time the public wil be cordially invited to spend an after noon as the guests of this popular re sort. George H. Ellis, the owner, stated yesterday that prizes will be offered to both boys and girls for swimming contests and that a most cordial invitation will be extended the public as soon as the date can be de cided upon. Tom Rice, present wealthly head of the Rice Research Laboratories, fnc., of Chicago, was born of extreme ly poor parents in a squalid hut on the banks of the Kansas River, in Topeka, Kansas, 44 ypars ago. His father was a cripple and his mother, a consumptive, was the bread-winner, making her living by taking in wash ing. Tom first attended a local school, conducted by a poor but intel ligent neighbor. He learned to read and write when he was eleven. His days were spent in clam digging and the carrying to and fro of laundry. Five miles from his home was a sec ond-rate public library. By special permission he was allowed to enter the library at five in the morning, and on Sundays. Before he was eighteen he had read 27 books on electrical engineering and. when he was twenty he was the own«r of^ a Is—SWiWSWSMSMiHiHiiiiiMSSliiSSi | . % Groceries ■i 1 : !■ i i small electric shop, which he built in the backyard of his home. There he worked out electrical problems for city contractors and became a house wiring expert before he was twenty- five. When he was twenty-eight, his father having died, he bought a cost ly home in the suburban section of Topeka, where he installed his moth er and two sisters, giving them many luxuries. He invented . an exhaust valve for a brake-shoe on electric trolleys that brought him $20,000, and with this money he established his persent research labroatories on State street, Chicago. Today he employs fifteen expert engineers and a large corps of men and women assistants and his personal wealth is said to be in six figures.

C. v Chinene coolies buy two or three American cigarettes at a time and the dealer makes an additional profit on the tinfoil from each package by sell ing it back to the manufacturers. With about 7 per cent of the world’s population, the United States turns out more than 80 per cent of the worid’s automobile mechanisms. UndeJohn out *vith one blow. Farmers in Ar kansas will not only forgive but cheer their senator for knocking a man down with one blow. Whether they will forgive him for playing golf is another question. I’ve alters been an advocate of fair ness in a fight. ... To rain my blows on weaker folks, I never thought was right. . . . I’ve fit my weight in wild cats, by the law of give an’ take, and, when I got the knockout, they was welcome to the stake! Today I’m scrappin’ varmints of a meek an' lowly class. ... I met their red battalions at the picnic, in the grass. . . . When fiends attack my person in an underhand way, there’s apt to be red pepper in the compli ments I pay. . . .

Me. E. Copeland, deceased, in the office of the Judge of Probate of Laurens County, at 11 o’clock a. m., and on the same day will apply for a final discharge from our trust as Administrators.

W., stabbed in. a fight with farm hands, learns the value of scientific educa tion. A knife thrust penetrated his pericardium sac containing the he*rt. and made a wound three-quarters of an inch long. The sac filled with blood, the heart couldnt work. But while Harris, fully conscious, saw everything that was going on, sur geons in Kansas City removed three of his ribs, drained the pericardium, permitting the heart to continue pumping, put back ’the ribs, sewed him up, and he lives. Thanks to local anesthetics, Harris felt no pain. =1- Six million bonus applications are ready, five millions more will be pre pared and sent out. Some pocket patriots are weeping about that. It makes them sad to pay a few dollars in taxes to men that won the war, and saved them all their money. DR. D. W. DANIEL TO SPEAK AT MOUNTVILLE Yet the paying out of that bonus money will be to general prosperity like pouring water on dry soil. Everybody will share in the prosper ity that the bonus distribution la bound to bring. Ever ydollar of it will be apenl. It’s the money spent that counts. ENROLL AT ONCE Again we are calling the public’s attention to the importance of enroll ing to vote in the August primary. The enrolment books close on Tues day, July 22nd, and the man or wo man failing to sign the club roll with in that time will be disfranchised. Thus far the enrollment has been very slow, and unless the call nf the hour There will be a mass meeting of the citizens of the town of Mountville and the surrounding community held at the school auditorium Friday night, July 11, at 8:30. Prof. D. W. Daniel, of Clemson College, will deliver an address. The public is cordially in vited. Jg heeded, of voters will not services.

That news will be worth myiy millions to this coun try directly, and billions perhaps, in directly. It is reported, although fortunate-' ly not proved, that agitators in the! West have purposely spread foot and mouth disease by means of dogs and otherwise. California is a bad state in which to play a game of that kind. The perpetrators would find it more! dangerous than* horse-stealing in Texas in the old days. A Separate Bed for Each Sleeper Provide a separate bed for each child.
