recognition for years. 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

that there rs nothing that reflects the i 0V er a morbid sensitiveness to
growth and development of a com- t he acts of their neighbors and be
munity like the progress of schools
and college work and the extension

progress is a great thing, the con
struction of more factories of various
kinds shows development and progress
UT' a- commercial way, but school im
provement and enlargement, and a
steadily growing enrollment in schools
able to live in peace with those all
about them.
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.

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.’ ”

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.
Unnecessary noises are not only a
waste of energy, but they are also a
needless strain on the nerves. We
have enough noise In present-day life
that cannot be avoided. !h tjie city,
the rattle and crash of street cars,
elevated trains and trucks. In the coun
try, the noises of animal life. You
can’t muffle every cow or dog. or put
maxim silencers on all the roosters.
Every locality has Its own necessary
noise end. with few exceptions, they
are enough. Don’t add to the wear-
and-tear on your own and others^
nerves and brains by making .any that
are unnecessary.

tonight. 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. The family lives
in the city.
