Monier Is Guest of Relatives In This Section. , Mrs. G. C. Monier, of Honey Grove, Texas, is expected within the next few days to visit Mr. W. R. -Ander son’s family and other old friends here;—Mrs. Monier is a niece of the late Mr. James Ren Anderson of this county, who passed away several years ago. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Woods, her mother having been Miss Mattie An derson. After an absence of!39 years from South Carolina, Mrs. Monier is now visiting in Spartanburg as the “guest of her cousins, Mrs. E. M. Atwell and Mrs. P. T. Hawkins. The following story of her visit in this section, taken from The Spartanburg Herald, will be read with interest by those in Clinton who are acquainted with her, or knew her parents: “Having returned to South Carolina after a 39-year absence, Mrs. G. C. Monier of Honey Grove, Texas, is in Dr suspicion and he Anderson College Head Captures " Many Gallons When Bootlegger Abandons Car. Anderson, July lO.-^The* Rev. JbHii E. White, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church and president of An derson. college, figured in a new cap- paeity this afternoon when he cap tured 59 gallons of bootleg whiskey. Dr. White was not out for that pur pose, the bootlegger evidently think ing he was an officer, jumping from his car and running when he encoun tered the car of Dr. White. As Dr. White was returning frdra* Greenville after making an address there, about ten miles from Anderson near Tucker’s gin he saw a car com ing very rapidly toward him and drew to one side of the road. The driver did not slow up; but when he-got op posite Dr. White, swerved aq^l hit the rear of Dr. White’s automobile, smash ing his own wheel.

The majority members of council con tended that they knew nothing of the opening of the street and its grading or work thereon had not been au thorized, and that the whole matted be referred to City Attorney Wade Spartanburg, the guest of her cousins, Mrs. E. M. Atwell and Mrs. P.. T. Hawkins. “Mrs. Monier, who left the state when a very little girl, is a native of Laurens, the daughter of Mr. alnd Mrs. William Woods, both now dead. In those days some of the roads were too rough for horses and wagons, she sqys, and , part of the journey west ward was made in an bx-cart. That is one of the deep impressions that was made in the memory of the little* girl, whose parents settled first in Arkansas, then- two years later went to Texas, where the family bought a farm in the most fertile part of the state and prospered in the adopted home. —>— -. - “Mrs. Monier, whose husband died seven years ago, has active charge of her 250-acre farm, where she grows cotton, corn, oats, hay and other pro ducts similar to those of this state. In talking of farm activity in Texas, she said that there is very little dif ference in the products that are raised from those in this locality, though there is a tremendous difference in the weather conditions this year^she said. “South Carolma has suffered great ly from drought soon after the cot ton seed were, planted, and Texas, while rain ishneeded, had rainfall at the critical time, <Ind many people in the northern part of that state say that farms were never in better shape. “Mrs. Monier lives 80 miles north riq of Dallas, in the rich, black land se^- IntCrWOVCIl oOX f O PRITS tion. She expects to be in South Caro^* ** ^ i lina about a month, visitihg relatives and renewing girdhood acquantances. Although she was born and geared, up to the time of leaving the ? state, in Laurens, this is the was ever in Spartanburg ■time she There are number of local citizens she knew amined the car and found that it was loaded with 59 gallons of pure boot leg stuff. Fifty-nine gallons for a bootofegger never carries an even numr ber, it’s bad luck. It is also bad luck for sqpie of them to meet a preacher in thfe road. Officers came out and secured the find, taking it into the county jail. The maq, however, re turned by the wreck in a Ford car, according to some tourists who were looking over the scenery. They rec- oginized him as the same man who was running in the Durant car when he passed them. The Durant car held a South Carolina license "tag, while the Ford had a Georgia license, it is said. as a girl; she said that she remembers distinctly making mpd pies with W. S. Glenn of this city, when the latter was a youngster in Laurens county. “Neither Mrs. Monier nor Mrs. At well, her hostess, had ever seen each other, and it was thought quite a problem how to recognize each other. However, at the railroad station recognition between the first cousins was instantaneous and mutual, each knowing the other by the marked fam ily resemblance. ~ “Mrs. Monier is accompanied by Miss Mary Thomas ^Gauldin, a friend and neighbor from her homfe town.” for an investigation and report the facts to the council at the earliest pos sible date in order that it might be in a position to act. Mayor Jacobs stated that he received a communica tion from the railway attorneys rela tive to the matter and then read their letter and the reply he had made thereto as Mayor of the city. He stated that he had already investigat ed the matter and didn’t propose to take further action .other than to ad vise the Seaboard attorneys of coun cil’s action. Mayor Jacobs also stated that the street* had been used for a number of years by the public and maintaihed that the city was within its rights in improving the property and ntaking it easily accessible to the population and business of that sec tion of the city. The challenge" of Mayor Jacobs, covering a lack of agreemen^in coun cil came after the litigation proceed ings filed on the 10th of July and served the following day against J. F. Jacobs as Mayojr, Miss Mary Chal mers as Clerk and Treasurer,^the Lau rens County Highway Commission, Engineer P. F. Patton in charge of th^ gang doing the street work, and Hugh L. Watson, foreman of the gang. The injunction proceedings were filed by Councilman Blalock, Siono- and-Bailey in the nam*~ bf the City of Clinton. The action called KEEPING WELL, CRYING BABiES DR.

In that center of business energy It Is an old story that every part of tbs pig except the squeal Is used. In s recent Issue of the American Journal of Dis ease# of Children, three doctocs de vote 28 pages to the effect of .cry ing on new-born babies They don’t say anything about. the effect of the babies crying, on other members of the household. s Put lute ptatfi language, the ques tions which the Investigators were try ing to answer were: how much en ergy does the baby spend In crying and how much food Is needed to furnish this energy. They found that crying uses up a baby’s energy, Just as physical work uses up the>energy of an adblt, and that this lost energy must be restored by food. In other words, crying is work for a baby, ami sometimes hard work. | Few of us grownups realize how hard a baby works when It cries. The authors estimated that If a baby Cried continuously for 24 houi$ (which, thank God. it never doesh. and if It was 20 per cent efficient In using Its energy, which would be better than the best locomotive. It would do an amount of work equal to lifting Its own weight to the top of the Washington monu ment. And all this on only three ta blespoonfuls of milk !

The Mayor expressed his intention of keeping the gang employed, while the council con tended that funds fbr such work werfc exhausted and that they had suffici ent equipment to enable the city to ccmplete the work the outside gang was doing with their regular street force and its overseer at less cost as soon as funds were available. The Ofder was signed by C. C. Feather- stone of Greenwood, Judge of the 8th Circuit, and a hearing has been set A TEST OF YEARS to be heard before him in Greenwood on July 24th. " Several othef fttatters-coverlng thc t down payment of bills, 'the monthly reports of departmental heads, and other rou tine business, were considered by city council at its prolonged session which did not close until near the midnight hour. A vote on the motion of Councilman J. P. Carter for adjournment resulted in a vote of 2 to 4 against adjourn ment. The meeting was, however, de clared'adjourned by the Mayor. Four members of council, Messrs. Stone, Blalock, Bailey and Dillard protested against the result declared by the chair, but the Mayor, stated that he was chairman of the meeting and that stood- adjourned.
