When the Calhoun highway idea sprang up, he was one of the first citizens of Greenwood to endorse the project and to put his shoulder to the wheel along with Others in an effort to build the proposed highway, realizing as he did, the importance of such an inter-county route. The -memorial tablet will be unveiled by the youngest child of the deceased and this part of the pro gram promises to be of interest to hundreds of friends who knew and loved Mr. Cothran. Clinton should feel particular inter est in the exercises this aftAmoom The idea of the , Calhoun highway originated in Clinton andwas from here that the spirit of enthusiasm went out and tapped other communi ties along the highway. Therefore, today’s event should find a large gatherng of our pcrp’.o present as an evidence of their interest in highway cohs.ruction. ’The highway to Green wood is in excellent conditjpn and it requires only a few minutes to make the trip.

All courtesies It is an evidence of. the thrift of our colored population to see a neat lot of buildings they are erecting in the West end of Greer, street, and out of Lydia Mills avenue. They are literally taking that section of the town and afe making ot a nice look ing place. It is in that section of the town th^t it is proposed to erect a colored Presbyterian church, an en terprise, by the way, which our peo ple should certainly help. realize the difference between the j advantageous climate of the South, and the cqld of other sections, I can j see no limit whatever to the South-’ ward movement of population ” ^ This conditi£&s opens to the South ; an opportunity fe|ich as it never had before. It should go into the South ern Exposition next year on a scale so complete and comprehensive as to double, triple, quadruple and quin- tiple the effect of the Exposition of last May.. The exposition not only waked up other parts of the country as to the South but it waked the South up to its own opportunity, and the Southern Exposition is only one* way <?f many which should be utilized to hasten the prosperity of the whole South.

But he gets into a shiny car, and blows his resounding blast when people in front of him show a little caution, then he gets by w.thout rebuke. Many drivers are in such a tearing hurry to get somewhere, that they seem to think the rules of courtesy have no relation to the operation of an automobile. In which idea they are all wrong, hut this is just another of the subjects upon which it is useless to write or complain. * Folks used to look for the fountain of youth. Now they look for the fill ing stations. In spite of the progress of civili zation, some men go three weeks without a shave.

THE WORLD SERIES The world series opening yesterday, holds the interest of millions of fans and will Ih? witnessed by record- brvakiag crowds, more than 6500,000 . worth of ticket sales having bedn de clined on account of inability to* ac comodate the people. The series'^wH! determine the championship of the world in baseball. The two opposing teams are Pittsburgh and Washing ton. Pittsburgh represents one of the biggest and fastest leagues in the world, the Nationals, while Washing- a ton represents the other, the Ameri can. These two teams having demon strated their superiority over fhe teams in their respective leagues^-wie clash now on will in reality.be one of giants. The team coming out victor in this series will have'earned the title of world’s champions and there wil! not be a flaw in it. Fully fifty thousand people will wit ness each of the seven games to be played. This is a remarkable tribute tc baseball and shows that it has gained and holds the attention and love of the nation. There is nothing in it to which even the most pipus can abject. It is but a healthy, friendly, harmless tontest between science and strength. Who will win the series? This is now the question of vital interest be- for ethe public. Billy Evans, famous •sport writer, answers by saying “that the breaks will certainly decide the outcome rather than any superiority an the part of either club.” We’ll not prophesy, but to use the diamond expression, “we are pulling for Washington.” Pittsburgh has power and youth; Washington experi ence and spirit. A finer of more courageous bunch of ball players never stepped on a ball field than the Washington club with its wonderful manager. Here's hoping that the Senators will win. It is always a good idea to have someone sitting on the lid, but not on the new fall lid you have just rurchased on credit. Lydia Mills is a very interesting suburb of Clinton. It is a thorough ly well ordered Tnill community, and though quite young is decidedly im proving. Mr. C. M. Bailey is im proving this place greatly. It is the only part of Clinton the streets of i which are lighted by electricity. Clinton, now has two banks. Our people are evidently rtjaking money.

IOC Dr. Shands for ten years past, has given his time to the care of this town. He has done his best. He - has been faithful in~~nnd out season. The town is not ungrateful. It honors those who serve it faithfully. It ap preciates the work done for it by its Mayor. This is a funny world. After los ing money in a foolish speculation many persons decide that they must dc the same thirife again in order to get the first investment back. The college boys can always see educational progress when their foot ball team wins. It is claimed that most people eat too much. Many’ respected land ladies will agree. The kids now demand that they be transported to school. Before long they will require pay for going. * The American people are said to like light literature and the news stands seem to prove the contention. A writer'says that the modern .boy is not properly trained, but as soon as he gets married his wife com pletes the job. Clinton is 750 feet above the sea level. It has not had a bar-room or dispensary within its town limits for thirty years. WHAT EXPOSITIONS DO FOR THE SOUTH WHAT DO C. A. OWENS DO?

Manufacturers Record) Last week we told the story of a Florida town which, under great pres sure, decided only one week in ad vance of the opening of the Southern Exposition to make an exhibit. In that brief period it had to gather the exhibit, ship it to New York and put it in shape there. The secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of that city wrote as recently that invest ments in his community directly due to the exhibit at the Southern Expo-| sition had already amounted to $5,*- 000,000 and the returns were still comizig in. . In this issue we are publishing a letter from western Carolina showing that one community in that section, whiyh had a small exhibit in a booth from which literature was distributed, has already received over 800 inqui ries, some of them from foreign coun tries, directly called forth by its exhi bit at the Southern Exposition. The writer of the letter says: “At least a million dollars in invest ments are under way in this part of the state as a result of the Sautherp Exposition publicity.” An^ he.?adds: “This is conservative, for orie New Yorker is planning to put Inasmuch into a unique hotel proj Mississippi was on® /f the states which failed to make/4n exhibit, but hoping to overcome/its mistake its people have recently sent a train of Pullman cars, yith several exhibit cars attached, through the West and out into Wisconsin especially to enable the people of that ration to see ex actly whajt Mississippi has and what its advariUges are.
