Clinton. S. C.
Cothran, a citizen pf sterling: qualities
and a good roads enthusiastand worker
up until the time of his death. 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. Let Clinton be well repre
sented in the jubilee celebration.

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

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.

and the cqld of other sections, I can j

^ 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.

THE AUTOMOBILE-HORN
Not mere’y rfo many automobile
drivers try to/ohstitirte the free use
of their horns for careful driving, buU
they show/lamentably had manners
in the Ihi j use them to urge on
traffic
The/ien who gets into a crowd and
iostlys his way along is regarded as
fg poorly hri-d. -People would
tWrk he *.anH* cut of the gutter. 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.
Publicity is a mighty^ fine thing,
but the only way some people ^eem
able to get it is to commit an offense
against the law-.
Simple pleasures are said to be the
sweetest, but it hard Uo mak ea g:ri

There is plenty of room at the tor.
of the ladder, and many are interest

to take them there.

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.

“I was Hi and had to stay in bed
under treatment for about two
weeks without any improvement in
my condition, which was serious,”
says Mrs.. J. T. Abercrombie,
R. F. D. 7, Brookville, Ind.
"I had intense pain in my side.
1 was so nervous and weak and
just out of heart....
“After taking one bottle of
Cardui, 1 felt like getting up. My
nerves seemed steadier and 1
didn’t feel so weak. 1 kept up
taking Cardui arid was soon feeling
like my old self. ..
“1 am such a believer in Cardui
Until when 1 get nervous and weak
1 take it. 1 took it before my
children were born. It strengthen

“I took a cold and ... my back
felt so weak and I had such pulling

“I fell and broke my arm. The

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.

THE MEMORIAL BRIDGE
An event of unusual significance
will be the formal dedication this af
ternoon of the Thos. W. Cothran
Memorial bridge connecting Laurens
and Greenwocd counties on the Cal
houn highway. It typifies the pro
gress of highway construction and
should be a source of pride to every
citizens of this section. It is one of
the most beautiful structures in the
-- state and is a tnagpificent piece of
tagineering. - , —v

is to bear, the name of^tlje late Mr.

(From The. 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. Results are al
ready >h evidence, and many Wiscon
sin people are beginning to investi-
Mississippi for dairying, general
ilture and other pdVposes.
