THE CHRONICLE’S DAILY
From our subscribers, the members
of the South Carolina Synod, ard a
number of newspaper, friends over
the state,. The Chronicle has received
congratulations on its ‘‘daily’ issued
th ree days last week in honor of the
Synod. These expressions of appro
val and encouragement are apprecia
ted for they come so seldom in a
newspaper man’s life. We endeavor
ed to make the paper interesting to
the visitors and to give a compre
hensive review of the activities of the
Presbyterian church- and the proceed
ings of Synod, while in session here.
We are glad to know, that to a cer
tain extent at least, we succeeded in
our endeavor.
To produce a daily paper in a plant
the size of ours requires considerable
expense and hard work, yet for the
sake of our town and institutions, we
were willing to make the effort. To
all who co-operated with us we extend
our sincere appreciation. It could
never have bgeh accomplished With
out this co-operation and the untiring
efforts of our entire office force of
which we are justly profld.
The Chronicle stays on its toes to
serve its large family of readers, the
town of Clinton and this community.
plart is now capable of turning out
composition consisting of correct
type faces in many different sites,
and the change from one size to
another is made by a “twist of the
wrist.” In the flicker of an eye
lash the versatile operator—whose
hand is made famous L>y the Mergen-
thaler Linotype Company as “the
hand that keeps the world informed,”
on the versatile machine sets type of
all faces and sizes.
This installation is a testimonial of
our faith in Clinton and this vicinity.
And that “the good people of the
community are duly appreciative of
our efforts to serve them in all de
partments of the printing business, is
manifested by the many compliments
received from individual patrons
since the arrival of our new machine.
The illustration in today’s paper
will give our readers some idea of
the marvelous mechanism of the lino
type, a composing machine on which
are assembled matrices (or little
brass molds) and lines of type cast
—lines .such as you are now read
ing. The particular model of maeh-
ne which we have just installed car
ries at one time four sets of matrices

gentlemen said in leaving our office,!
“This is the most enjoyable meeting
of Synod I have ever attended, and
I am pleased with everything I have
seen and heard in Clinton.” It pays
a town, like everything else, to adver
tise. A good impression made upon
strangers is of inestimable value:
Some folks value an education, oth
ers say it amounts to little and is
hardly worth working for. But. a
cash value has just been placed upon
a college education 'to it% owner, the
amount stipulated being $72,000, ac
cording to a report made public a few
days ago by Dean Everett W. Lord
of the Boston University of business
administration. The report is based
on a long study of the earning capa
city of college graduates, while the
high school seniors are said to have
an asset worth $33,000. But you can’t
always tell what it is worth—some
of the biggest cranks and fools of the
present day belong to the highly edu
cated class.
Uncle John
There is an effort now on foot to
secure clemency for Frank Harrell,
under conviction along with King for
the brutal slaying of Major McLeary.
The petition is,going before Govern
or McLeod, but surely will meet with
no favorable action and not get very
far. Harrell it is plated did hot have

paper headings, booklets, catalogs, I dynamite torch while the other stands
and other various kinds of printed at the back of the building to give the
matter, our new model 14 enables one
operator to set in the same time more
type than ordinarily could be produc

While for a long time wc have re

subscribers, advertisers and printing
buyers in general, we look forward to

It has been our aim to present the

necessary if society is to be protected

FOR THE UNDERPRIVILEDGED
CHILDREN
Laurens county, ard Clinton parti
cularly, has nobly stood behind the
State Training School for mentai de
fectives located here. Through the
efforts of our county delegation last
year, the school received enough mon-
fY from the legislature to begin the
erection of two extra dormitories.
These are now in process of erection.
While we take a county and city pride
in the fine plant that is being de
veloped, the main thing we ought to
keep in mind is the work that this
school is to do. Hundreds of poor
children whose minds, through no
fault of theirs, are twisted, are grow
ing up'where there is no proper care
for them. The State School has ex
perts, who in every way know what
these children need. The big thing is
to keep the feeble-minded from repro
ducing. Outside of the big work be
ing done to make these young people
happier and better citizens, the State
will be protecting itself against the
spreading of feeble-mindedness if it
properly builds up this institution.
There are two other schools under
State control and support that along
with our school make a strong appeal
and should merit abundant support.
They are the School for the Deaf,
Dumb and Blind Children at Cedar
Springs, and the De la Howe School
for poor boys and girls at Willing-
ton. Hundreds of helpless little ones
are looking to these for protection,
the one class for sight, hearing and
speech, and the other class for rescue
from poverty and training in normal
vyays so as to become independent
citizens.
The bond issue for building these
schools will be voted on in the general
election on November 4th. Will you
not vote for the hundreds and hun
dreds of underpriviledged children When money and the right man are
who are holding out their hands to brought together, great good is ac
thdwoters?
Evidently there is something wrong
over at Clemson College and what
ever the trouble is, it should be cor
rected. The recent walk-out makes
three such occurances in the past few
years, all uncalled for and calculated
to work an injury to the institution.
Just whit the trouble is, the public
does not know. The students tell one
tale, the authorities an entirely dif
ferent story. The fact is quite evi
dent however, .that something is
wrong and that a real investigation
should be made and the bottom of the
whole affair should be reached. A
spirit of rebellion or defiance to au
thority on the part of students, should
not be tolerated for one minute. In
cidentally, the board of trustees ought
to elect a president for the institu
tion and make him responsible for the
various phases of the college work, as
well as the behavior of the student
body which is not becoming, to say
the least. "We have ^an idea that there
is too much politics mixed up with
this institution and not sufficient au
thority vested in its directing heads'
by the board of trustees to act
promptly and firmly when such trou
ble arises. The taxpayers of South
Carolina foot the bill for Clemson’s
operating expenses and it goes with
out saying, that they do not approve
of these constant insurrections, re
gardless of who is at fault.

help came, thus preventing her two

IMPROVING OUR SERVICE
With a good deal of satisfaction
the publisher of The Chronicle an
nounces the installation this week of
a new model 14 linotype, supplanting
the model L, formerly used. This
mechanical marvel is specially equip
ped with a completement of type
faces which enables us to serve ef
ficiently the large number of per
sons who look to our publication for
enlightenment and entertainment, and
who patronize our job printing de
partment.
The rapidly increasing circulation
of The Chronicle, together with our
desire to place at the command of
our advertisers and others, the high
est grade of typography, induced us
to add to our mechanical equipment,
at a heavy expense, the multiple-

Association.
The ladies of the Hurricane com

arid enjoyed a very pleasant social
hour in reorganzing an improvement
association of the Hurricane school.
On account of the rain this meet
ing has been delayed, but most of the
ladies of the community were present
at this meeting.
The following officers were elected
Mrs. Jobe Simpson, president; Mrs
Grover Nabors, vice-president; Mrs
Marion Young, secretary, and Mrs. J
F. Whitmire, treasurer.
The ladies of the community be
lieve in and boost the association for
several reasons. It brings the par
ents of the school in closer touch with
the work being done by the pupils
: and also in closer touch with the
teachers. It helps the teachers in
knowing and understanding more o

It is hoped that all the ladies of
the community will be at the next
meeting ana help in boosting the com
munity and the school and teachers.

If the quality and depth of everyone’s
sleep were the same, it would be an
easy matter to decide the number of
hours of sleep required to sustain the
highest degree of mental energy and
bodily health and vigor.
But only those who waken natural
ly, fully rested and ready for the
day, sleep WELL ENOUGH and
LONG ENOUGH. If your mornings
always come too soon, you are being
cheated of rest you need to achieve
efficiency and personal success. It
may be that your sleep equipment is
the cause.
Because the quality of sleep you get
depends almost wholly upon the
kind of spring and mattress you use,
aren’t they worth your careful con
sideration right now?
Spare a few minutes tonight to ex
amine your bedding critically. Then
come to our store and -compare it
with the Simmons mattresses and
