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

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

welcome and the extended hand of
friendship.

There is nothing else on the place to

get their value we must part with
them, but not so with the hen. In

♦ 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.
