After Absence of 39 Years Mrs. G. C.
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, 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

of their ownership of rights-of-way.
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.

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

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

served the following day against J.

Engineer P. F. Patton in charge of

Put lute ptatfi language, the ques

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

vice of a Clinton resident who suffer

by using Doan’s Pills— a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys? Here, is a!
Clinton case that the years haven’t
changed. Why not profit by it?

Ferguson St., says: “The continual
bending and lifting brought on back
ache. When I went to pick up a tim
ber, a sharp pain caught me in the
small of my back and it was a task
to straighten. My kidneys acted too
frequently and fhe secretions were
scanty. I also had dizzy spells and a
dull ache in the back of my head. I
used Doan’s Pills^ from Smiths Phar
macy, and they relieved me.”
