If such folks had dwelt at opposite ends of the Town, they would'never have disputed, but as soon as they were brought close together on one street, they could not adjust themselves mutually. Little frictions would come up, the children would play on the neighbor’s lawn, or the chickens would invade the garden, or some trivial thing would happen from which, hot words would arise, and soon a fned would start that might never be healed. If there have been many who coukl not get along in the comparatively large space given by a country hpme, a spirit of adjustment is certainly needed now that so many of them are dwelling in close quarters and occupy ing houses together. There are still many people, and some in Clinton, who are ^ar too sensitive to the things their neighbors do. If the folks who occupy the apartment of reside next door do a little dancing or singing, or if their baby cries, or the phonograph plays half the night, then they de clare they will not tolerate such dis turbances, and they must have quiet oi they will move. Bus as a whole people are learning to take such things more comfortably io PAGES and to exercise common sense. If they' want absolute peace, they would %. better go to some little country vil- I lage and buy a home on some side ! street ^nd provide themselves with an alert watchdog, $nd they will not be September, bothered much.

LIST OF TEXTBOOKS FOR THIS SESSION For the information of the patrons and colleges shows healthy progress, of the Clinton Public Schools, The in a most vital phase of community Chronicle prints today the list of text- upbuilding. For schools and colleges books, grade by grade, for the session are factories, too, in a sense, and their product is men and women. Anc\ it is men and women who make a city great after all. A city can have no greater asset than a citizenship of good men and women, inspired by high ideals of work and service. f THE WATER SHORTAGE The present prolonged dry spell has caused many people to indulge in weather reminiscences, 'it has become the topic of general conversation on the streets, in the newspapers and elsewhere, and those who have? been accustomed to venturing an opinion •n the rairr outlook, have declared that their good signs have all failed and they have ceased to further prophesy. This unprecedented drought has its serious side, and in many communi ties the situation has become alarm ing. In Asheville, for instance, the wat^r supply has almost been In hausted and several weeks ago it be came necessary for the city authori ties to issue a bulletin on the situa tion, layiqg down very rigid rules and regulations as to its consumption. In cluded in the list of restrictions, is the prohibiting of the use of water for baptism or any religious service. Naturally, this prohibition aroused Much protest. Presumably oqly those denominations practicing immersion would use enough water to affect the aupply, but the city took the positioi that no distinction could be made that all must come under the >ame general rule. The Greenwood Index, cotfrmenting an the Asheville situatipif, carried a clever story from the Rev. R. G. Mc- Lees of Chatham, Va., well knOwn and beloved here where he has preached op several occasions, which was sug gested by the water shortage. The joke referred to, which Dr. McLees asserts is a true story, is worth pass ing on, so here it is: ^Around Chatham, Va., there is a considerable colored population and as is usually the case the religious life of the community is pretty well divid ed up between two of the evangelical denominations and the one which in sists on immersion has a large and loyal following. Some years ago dur ing the early winter this denomina tion had a meeting during which an onusualfy large number of converts jeranented themselves as candidates ffar baptism. The baptizing day was wet t6r two weeks hence and mean-1 ‘ while the weather turned exceedingly ■ •‘old. . colored tenants on the farm 'hf. a prominent farmer in the neigh- j .bqrbood were discussing the coming baptizing which was to be in the '’whters of the river near by. Their j. landlord overhead this much of their talk: **‘Man, don’t you know dat water’s gwine ter de cold next Sunday?’ ' * ‘Hit sho is gwine ter be cold.’ “'I don’t see how dat preacher kin ter stay in dat water dat long baptize all dem folks.’ 'Wall, you know what I’d do wid folks if I was dat preacher?’ *“Whut would y’do wid ’em?’ * Td sprinkle ’em till Spring, dats rnkut I’d do wid ’em.’ ” opening next Monday, August 31st: First Grade Child’s World Primer and First Reader.

Algebra for Secondary minutes, a long line of autos, trucks and busses were standing on each of fiie cross streets. Thie procession was a short one and did not require uiore^than eight or ten minutes to pass. But even this short delay was too much of a strain on the ^nerves of the automobile drivers. Some of them 'began honking their horns and, at once, like a lot of frogs in a pond, every driver turned loose his syren. The result was that for live minutes, every one wlthlh hearing had his nerves tortured with an Infernal, ear-splitting and entirely unnecessary racket. > One can understand, even though he may not entirely sympathize with or enjoy, the noise made by a small boy who urges a stick along a picket fenca or lets off cannon crackers under oqe’a window. This Is simply the Irresslst- Ihle Impulse of the average boy to make a noise. But why did two three hundred grown and suppoi sensible riien keep up this awful and unnecessary din for, fall flve/mmwtca? Did they think it would/^horten the procession or make it-go faster? Not one of the cars could move until the way was clear,, and the police were certainly not gmng to allow them' to proceed unGrthe parade had passed. What possible good did It do any of them tf/keep their horns going? re were probably two reason*: first was the nervous Inability to kit still and keep quiet for a few minutes, and the other was the nerv ous impulse of each driver to do some thing to show Ids displeasure. Cer tainly none of these men, if he stopped to think, would have believed for a moment that making a noise did any good. On the contrary. It did barm both to the men who made It and to the help less bystanders^ Sound Is beard in the brain. Loud, long-continued and unnecessary noises are Just as tiring te the body as are too-bright or too- glaring lights, or long-continued men tal or physical exertion.

Moore had been placed jail about 6 o’clock by local officers on charges of being drunk, disorderly, reckless driving and speeding. was apparently sobering up just be fore the tragedy, officers said, Moore, while driving about the streets wrecked an automobile and was placed in jail. About 7:46 s Vclock officers carried food to him and he ‘was able to eat although still appear ing somewhat dazed from the effects of the liquor, officers said. His wife and mother-in-law called at the jail aboyt 10 minutes before 8 o’clock and talked to him through the jail door They left to get an officer to open the door and let them in. When they re turned at the hour Moore was found hanging with the belt around his neck, dead. A physician was hurried ly summoned and said that the man hkd died of strangulation as his neck was not/broken. He was dead from two to three minutes when found, the physician said.I Officers believe that immediately after his wife and mother left the juil, Moore fastened his belt to the upper bars of the cell door, climbed on a cot, slipped his head through the noose and jumped off. i Moore is a World war veteran and suffered from shell shock. He ha? been a patient in the government hos pital at Camp Oteen for some time, returning frequently to Greer to visit his family. He was on a visit to his wife when arrested.
