We should, at once, decide upon a special day to be known as “Acquaintance Day”, ‘ at -which time an .automobile party em bracing representatives from, every business interest in the community, should be included in the party and a CLINTON. S. C., MARCH 19, 1925 12 PAGES THE POULTRY BUSINESS The Southern Poultry Journal, pub lished in Montgomery, Ala., says that f personal visitation into the new terri- “poultry may be grown with more j tories should be made with the ulti- ease rrnd at considerably less expense i mate idea of gaining the friendship in the South than in other sections of and good-will of our new neighbors, the country.” This^s based on the j and turn, of expressing a mutual cis, interest climatic conditions, th.‘ price of lands plant equipment, nearness to the lai'ge markets, shipping facilities and every, other known element that enters into the operation of a poultry farm. The poultry business, up to a few years ago, was seldom tried in this section. The shipping of a carload of chickens or eggs to eastern or other markets, was something out of the ordinary. Now it is going on in all sections of the cofintry and through this channel thousands of dollars are being placed in the pockets of our farming population. Those who have given the business a fair and intelligent try-out, have found it profitable, both from a stand point of poultry raising and egg-pro duction. It adds to the farm revenue, and helps get away from the old idem that cotton alone is a cash producer. On the farm—the cow, hog and hen are profitable. This js the experi ence of thousands of farmers who have made the experiment and have succeeded. UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE The time has gone by when people could succeed in business merely by knowing the superficial aspects of their trade. They have to study the human mind, both their own mental capacities, and the popular habits of thought. Most successful men have done that, or are learning that it must be done. Business concerns do well to encour age their employes to study this line of thought. For instance, the retail trade board of the Boston Chamber of Commerce has been employing an ex-* pert, Dr. Abraham Myerson, to give a series of lectures on “Understand ing People,” to about 1000 employes of retail stores. People who are ambi tious to win their way may well fol low up such a line of investigation. , One of the ideas which Dr. Myer son brought out, was that an infalli ble test of intelligence is the question whether one is interested in other people or not. This idea will be sup ported by the common observation that successful men are very apt to manifest keen interest in other peo ple. Ihe self-absorbed man whose thought is oply on himself, has placed his mind too close to its object. He is like a man who in trying to read, places his newspaper about an inch from his face. . His objective is not properly focused. The successful man, however, is apt to have a hearty and enthusiastic for them from ourselves. The Chronicle has suggested this several times but nothing has ever come of the suggestion. Now we are renew ing it again in the hope that the busi ness men of the city will see in it a splendid opportunity of doing a pro fitable, constructive piece of adver tising from a community viewpoint. Such a trip, arranged by our business nj>en and entered whole-heartedly into, would prove a valuable aid in en couraging and stimulating future business relations with city and coun try. Clinton, or any other town for that matter, in this day of keen com petition, need .not think that it can fold its hands and sit quietly expect ing things to pan out as we would like them. The individual business, or the city «n like measure, that goes after business, will get it. We need to learn this truth and continually put forth concerted efforts in that dir ection instead of forever conplaimng over present conditions and doing nothing to improve them. New highways open new fields of industry. They afford an opportunity to bring in new people as well as new capital. But they are useless unless thp sputions thrmurh wHic*H tHpv !■■**»- V* li7 t/XllVFU£ll ▼TlXtVtt LllXZjf LI C4 verse are populated by a substantial class of farmers. To re-populate the country, to interest outsiders in small farms through this section is a prob lem of momentous importance that is facing us, and at the same time one that calls for some concerted, intelli gent action instead of so much talk ing. The country is in a deplorable condition. With a bad boll weevil season, as is predicted this year, things will be decidedly worse than they now are. This condition is going to react more and more upon the towns and we might as weir face the issue and fortify ourselves to stand against these hardships and disad vantages by encouraging and develop* ing a town-country growth. To do this we must get people in the country and we must encourage and help‘the rural population iiv^every way possi^ hie. The opportunity is ours. Let’s ar range for an “Acquaintance Day” and to the doors of the country popu lation of this section with a spirit of welcome and the extended hand of friendship. Clinton has advantages to offer that will attract if properly presented. Few communities have more substan tial merchants and business houses. For cotton, as well as all other farm products, wg offer a splendid market. to Washington. Better training for musician criti cism is being urged. Most of us, how ever, feel confident tq express an opinion of the girl who practices the piano next door. A presidential parade, which does not come high, should appeal to a president like Mr. Coolidge, who preaches economy. A real man is one who can be in the minority and still have faith in mankind. , You can’t tell by the dressmaker’s bill whether the dress was a short one or a long one. The man who doesn’t believe in him self is not likely to get other people to believe in him. When a woman gives her hand in marriage she usually does so with the expectation of keeping him under her thumb.

The best money-maker on the farm is the hen. She turns grass into greenbacks, grain into gold, and from the sand and gravel she coins silver.* There is nothing else on the place to compare with her. The cattle and horses are heavy consumers, and to get their value we must part with them, but not so with the hen. In her small way she is a little gold mine on the face of the earth, a mill that grinds that which others overlook or refuse. Everybody should have a few hens but keep them out of your neighbors’ yard if you want to live in peace. * manner which throws itself into the Our*climate is excellent, our churches experiences of the people he meets. He makes it clear that it is a pleas ure to serve them if they give him the chance. People who begin with that attitude make friends rapidly, and the public likes to do business with them. Men and women of that type become skillful in understanding people, and they learn how to render the kind of service that people want, and to do it in a magnetic kind of way. I ♦ NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR CLINTON The opening up of the new high ways from Clinton to Mountville-Cross Hill on the south, and of the Clinton- Musgrove ro|d on the north, affords this city and section a wonderful op portunity to expand its trade area and to create a closer spirit of friend liness and co-operation throughout the county. The Musgrove road, open- irtg a heretofore neglected and unde veloped section, is not a new idefl. It has been talked about for the past fifteen years and its needs pointed pened? out, yet no action could ever be pro cured by Laurens county. The Spar tanburg authorities, irrespective of and educational facilities unsurpass ed. We have many strong talking points if we but use them. Get this in your head and hold it— business is going nowadays where it is invited and an effort made to ob tain it. The advertising columns of the newspapers tell the people what is going on, what wares are offered for sale, where desirable markets ex ist, what prices prevail. The town that goes after business is the town that gets it. That’s the whole story. Many men are said to be self- taught. No man was ever taught in any other way. Do you suppose a man to be a bucket to be hung on the well of knowledge and pumped full? Man is a creature that learns by exertion of his own facilities. There are aids, of course, to learning of various kinds, but no matter how many of these aids a man may be surrounded by, after all, the learning is that which he acquires himself. Whether he is in college or out of col lege, in school or out, every man must educate himself. And in our times and in this community, every man has the chance of doing it. him, yet his loss is extremely regret ted. Second, That Campbell Lodge No. 44, A. F. M., Clinton, S. C., wish to extend to the bereaved, loved ones and friends of our departed brother our deepest sympathy an# kindest solici tations.
