" PAYING OUR DEBTS
A gentleman in our office fhis
morning remarked that “a great many
people in Clinton are taking their
obligations altogether too lightly and
that the point has been reached where
it is almost impossible to make col
lections.” What this gentleman said,
we have heard others declare recently,
land the indictment is one that should
be called to our attention and serious
ly considered.
The biggest asset any man or
woman possesses is his or her credit.
We are a credit people almost entire
ly; we credit one another, the manu
facturer credits the merchant (for a
short limited time), the merchant
credits his customers, the professional
man credits his customers and clients,
and so on through every avenue of
our whole business institutions, we
find credit the basis upon which the
great bulk of our business is*done.
The trouble with a great many of our
people is that they are abusing their
credit, and when this happens, credit
becomes a detriment to the whole
businss welfare of the community.
The careless, indifferent debtor im
poses on the very merchant who has
done him a favor. Not only is he
imposing on the fellow he owes, but
be is imposing on the whole commun
ity. He is imposing by holding back
dollars that should be useful, doing
beneficial work by circulating ruund
and round.
We need to take our obligations
more seriously and if we are lagging
behind, to start out anew in the pay
ing up of our debts, so that our slates
may be wiped clean, and business re
vived.
Why not start a “Pay-Up Week”
right here in Clinton—a week of debt
wiping-out.
, Make this the slogan: “I’ll pay you
so you can pay the other fellow.”
for a lack of business that is rightly
ours.
One of the biggest assets any town
can have is a live cotton market. We
must impress upon the farmers the
fact that Clinton is equal and just a
little ahead of the average town.
Show them that it is to their advant
age to bring their cotton here to seHr
We have the buyers and there is no
reason why they shouldn’t pay as
good prices as are to be obtained any
where else.
Prosperity is headed Clintonward.
A strong cotton market is needed to
help bring it along. It will be un
businesslike to let any of it get away
from this section and find its way to
some adjoining town. Clinton should
reap a golden harvest this coming
fall and winter. Nothing will help
quite so wdl in turning the trick as
a strong''cotton market.
struggled and died a martyr’s death,
will remain a blessing and an inspira
tion to mankind.
NO CELEBRATION HERE
Other than the closing of the banks,
Clinton took no recognition of Arm
istice Day as did thousands of towns
throughout the state and nation.
There were no flags floating in ma
jestic silence t ospeak of the past,
no decorations of any kind in honor of
this great day of worldlwide history.
Certainly, some such celebration
should have come from the local
Rev. L. E. Wiggins, for the past
four years pastor of the North Broad
Street Methodist church, has been re
turned here for another year by Bish
op Denny. This announcement will
be received with general satisfaction
in the community by the people of all
our denominations. Mr. Wiggins
holds the love, admiration and respect
qf his entire congregation, and it was
upon their request that the usual four
year rule was suspended and he has
been returned here for an additional
year of service. While handicapped
in his work for the past year by. a
serious illness, his people have stood
close by him and have manifested a
beautiful spirit—one that is not * too
often seen. His friends, ’glad of his
return to Clinton, unite in wishing
for him improvement in health and
a successful year’s work in all the
activities of his church.

* A GOOD RULE
"Ask favors where you spend your
money,” is the wording of a sign got
ten out by a large s:ationery house.
It is a good rule, too, and one that
cannot get a just kick from anyone.
If you buy your groceries at home, go
to the grocer and ask a favor, if you
do your banking out of town, go out
of town to borrow your money, if you
buy your clothing or dry goods from
a catalog house, don’t go to the dry
goods man in your town and ask fav
ors of him.
“GIT UP AND GIT”
Everybody can do something for his
town. His capital may be limited—
in fact, he may have no capital at
all, and yet be a strong factor in the
production of bustle, and “git up and
git.” What fs to hinder you frtfm of
fering a word of encouragement to
every undertaking? What is to hin

cost you? It is the manners of the
people that make them loved and re

meeting a stranger kindly and ex
tending to him By warm hand of cor
diality, arid infdfming him that the
doors of the city are thrown open to
him, with an invitation to abide with
us? It is just easy enough to tell all
strangers that you have the best peo
ple in the w >rld, and prove it by car

an introduction. It is not the most

There is a structure which every in

It is called character and every act

OUR COTTON MARKET
The price of cotton seems on the
upclimb. Pickers are busy—ginners
are busy—and hundreds of bales are
going into the markets to be sold.
Rev. Edward Long, the beloved pas
tor of the First Baptist church of this
city, in point of service, is the oldest
pastor in Laurens county. You need
not imply from this that he is an
old man either, for he is just now
reaching the period of his greatest
usefulness. Last Sunday night he
preached his .1107th sermon in his
present pastorate. Mr. Long is a man
of ability and ambition, and both as
a citizen and minister, he is loved and
esteemed in this community. His
many friends, irrespective of denomi
nations, hope his residence here will
be continued for many years without
interruption.
