C., FEB. 26, 1925 8 PAGES OUR POWER FACILITIES Textile plants and all kinds of im- dustries looking for southern locations where climate, health, labor, power, water supply and such essentials count for the most part, are cordially invited to inspect Clinton and get first hand information. The coming into Clinton of the hydro-electric lines of the Southern Power Company opens up possibilities heretofore unknown. It puts us in a position to present a strong, effective talking point to the mill that wants power to drive its machinery, and fur nishes to capital in general prerequi sites needed for operation. An abundance of cheap power never fails to attract outside capital to a community. These conditions exist here now and the city should put the rates at the lowest possible minimum. Steam power can’t compete in cost of production to hydro-electric. Manu facturers act upon this knowledge >vhen contemplating developments in any community. RULES FOR SUCCESS « The greatest real estate auctioneer of his day, Joseph P. Day, seeks to give the simple causes of his suc cess. His first job was at a salary of $1.92 a week at the age of fifteen. He is now 51. He has sold more than $1,000,000,000 worth of real estate, in one year he and his salesmen sell ing more than $80,000,000. Talking the other day, he gave ten “Rules for Success” that are worth passing on. Here is what he said: “Opportunity is with you all the time, like death and taxes. It is wait ing for you to take hold of it and pull it along the road to success with you. “Success is a state of mind. It is rarely the same for any two individ uals. But regardless of what success may be, it is there for each and every individual. . “Every man is born equal and every man is entitled to success; the great trouble is the average man will not go out and get what he is entitled to. Incidentally, that is what makes him the average man. “There^is no formula for success. There can be none, because it is in nately individual and dependent upon the individual. v “There are certainly a number of simple rules of life, which if one fol lows them carefully, will contribute considerably towards success. Of these, I would suggest the following as being of prime importance: “First: Be honest in all things, in business and in personal matters. “Second: Work hard, physically and mentally. Make every task, no matter how great or how small, a personal test. “Third: Live cleanly and avoid ill ness. Remember that a healthy body is a great asset. Think wholesomely, for to the mind wholesome thoughts are what wholesome food is to the body. “Fourth: Take some recreation/ Have a hobby, but do not let your recreation or your hobby interfere with your business, and don’t make your recreation lopsided. The brain needs exercise and pleasure just as much as your body does. “Fifth: Use your imagination. The radio on which you are now listening in is the child of imagination. The man without an imagination can never succeed. “Sixth: Interest yourself in public affairs and do your part in both civic and charitable work. Charity is a great stimulus to both the heart and the head. ‘♦Seventh: Do not feel that you are over-educated. No matter what your education has been, don’t stop study ing. Read good literature. : ^ T ever let' success torn your head. Success is only relative. There is ho .^Uinan accomplishment • that cannot be improved upon. “Ninth: Never stop smiling. The smile is a great maker of friends in business. 4 “Tenth: Never give up. The world is big but has no place for quitters COSTLY JECONOMY The following timely editorial per taining to the State Training School , of this city, and its work for feeble- e j mjndedness, is taken from Monday s ^ issue of The Greenville Piedmont: “Senator D. M. Crossan, of Lexing- ton, recently interested himself in the case of a little feeble-minded boy and tried to get him into the State Train ing School, especially created for such cases. The superintendent of the in stitution, Dr. B. O. Whitten, wrote him a letter which was later publish ed in The Columbia State and in which he said: “ ‘Judging from the letter from the boy’s father, and from the in formation given in the applica tion, we should believe this to be a-most deserving and urgent case. I assure you that I am filled with regret when I have to advise you of our inability to take the child. This, however, is a common occur rence with us and I trust that you • will hold me blameless when you recall that I have pleaded with the legislature to meet these require ments and enable us to relieve a situation, the urgency of which is proved by such facts as may be illustrated with the correspond ence you have sent me. . . From a little observation up to the pres ent time, I cannot help feeling that this little helpless one and others permanently afflicte^will have to wait indefinitely. So far as I know, the institution has done its best and the responsibili ty for the care of these little af flicted boys is being left^with the legislature and the people who are interested in them and kind- hearted enough to help them. I am afraid that our care of this boy shall be indefinitely post poned.’ “The State Training School was in tended to care for the feeble-minded men, women and children of South Carolina, but it can care for only a little more than a hundred, altho there are thousands who ought to be in the institution. “How many feeble-minded children there are in the State nobody knows, but in the South Carolina Mental Hy giene Survey, made by highly compe tent experts in 1922, it was found that two and eight-tenths per cent of the white public school children and four and two-tenths per cent of the negro pupils were feeble-minded. ‘Applying these figures to the entire school population in the first six grades of the State, we have approximately 13,000 defective individuals.’ “This does not take into account feeble-minded whites and negroes in the higher grades, nor feeble-minded grown persons. “What difference does it make when tens of thousands of feeble-minded children and adults are denied institu- 1 tional care'? “The cost to the State incurred by feeble-minded children in Repeating grades in the public schools and by similarly afflicted adults who repeat crimes has been conservatively esti mated at a million dollars a year. “Many of the feeble-minded, if not grv proper care come paupers and hav.e to be cared for by the public, either as beggars or as poor house inmates. “Feeble-minded girls and women are the most tragic liabilities, for having the mentality of small children, they often easily become the prey of evil men and bring other feeble-minded children into the world. The average number of children in a feeble-minded family is five. No one has ever es timated how many illegitimate chil dren in South Carolina have feeble minded mothers, but the number is probably very large. “When the State of South Carolina fails to provide adequate space for all the feeble-minded needing institution al care, it practices the worst sort of false economy, for it thereby refuses to segregate and gradually reduce a, prolific source of misery, pauperism, and crime in the State. “The State, in sheer self-defense, ought to protect itself against this over-increasing menace to the physi cal, mental and moral integrity of its citizenship. “How long will it be until the legis lature and the people of South Caro lina realize that feeble-mindedness is probably a costlier and greater peril to us than any other form of disease? Much of it could be cured. Much of it in the future could be prevent ed. “Shall we drive back, or, indifferent and careless, shall we let it go on spreading and destroying?” ate increased their salaries the other day from $7,500 to $10,000 a year, all of which shows the advantage of be ing a member of Congress. A beggar arrested in Chicago the other day, admitted that he had never made less than $6,000 a year as a mendicant. A better paying job than running a newspaper. Some merchants ask themselves if they dare spend money on advertis ing. Others, looking at the big amount locked up in goods in their stores, ask if they dare not to. * Both the railroads end philosophers try to persuade the present generation to “Stop, Look and Listen,” but most of us are still stepping on the gas. * The time has gone when a politi cian was accepted a stateman because he wore a jimswinger coat. Leap year has gone but it is still showing results. A 72 year old . wo man married a 70 year old man the other day following her proposal. It will soon be so that a man won’t have any privileges left at all. A bill h«s been introduced in the North Carolina legislature to prohibit flirt ing with college girls.

No matter how brightly the sun shines, a man can get under a cloud if he isn’t careful. It seldom happens that the neighbor who has a garden and one that keeps chickens are good friends. Women may run for office but they will never throw their hats in the ring or tell their ages. The politicians are usually ready to be interviewed except when there is something the public wants to know. So far as,is known, it has never been complained that the women are unfitted for political activity on ac count of their lack of conversational powers. Congress is about to adjourn, but no one seems alarmed over the fact.
