J. Adair has opened a store ( by Mr. Jacobs as “one of the greatest in Clinton right next to Mr. R. B Vance, and seems to be doing a very profitable business. We wish ,him success. Just stand around on the streets if you want to see what a modem beauty show is like. No need to buy tickets. The people who hdller so loud at Saturday’s football game are not near ly so enthusiastic over getting to church Sunday morning. It is now Haimed that the unsuper- stitious American people no longer believe in signs. The way they disre gard danger signs on s the highways, this statement must be true. Patriotic holidays are all right, but the most interesting days are Pay Days. SAVINGS DEPOSITS Deposits in savings banks in this country increased $2,000,000,000 last year, according to reports to the American Bankers’ Association. This gain in thrift is something remark able, and it proves that a multitude of families are getting on a more se cure footinfpr^' It is also likeT^-that the extensive advertising done by banks during the past few years, has had much to do with this gain. It has convinced many families, who previously were indiffer ent to thrift, that it pays to save a reasonable proportion of their earn ings.- You can take your pick—either go through life scattering sunshine, or scattering seeds of moor.shine. The town has now been authorized to put in electric lights and water ties each paying fourth and half com sights of construction work in South Carolina and js a result of the co operative work of the government and the state.’’ The bridge is 993 feet long and represents an expenditure of $96,000, Greenwood and Laurens coun works and this will be done as soon! ing from federal aid. Foundations as possible. At a recent meeting of the session of the First Presbyterian church, it was decided the Sabbath school should b^ divided. The pupils of-t^e Thom- well Orphanage, 220 inmumber, will be organized iHto a school of their own. The session of the legislature has passed into history. Or is it oblivion ? Still, let us consider it did some things. Among others, it adjourned. weve laid August 1, 1924, and the bridge was completed September 26, this year. One hundred Boy Scouts of Greenwood and Clinton troops, un der the direction of Scout- Executive T E. Epting, served as traffic offi cers during the day. FINAL SETTLEMENT Dr. W. S. Jacobs has moved to Houston, Texas, and taken charge of the First Presbyterian church of that city. People are no longer called lazy if they don’t woidc, but are said merely to be suffering from persistent fa tigue. " The statemen tell us that the home is the foundation of the republic, but many have the idea that the home run occupies that position. y It frequently happens that the dis couraged people who think business is going to be very bad, find that their own business at least is that way. POVERTY AND WASTE. Plans were outlined at the recent convention of the American Bankers’ Association, for a campaign to amel iorate poverty, through educating peo ple to avoid waste and practice thrift. ~ It has often been remarked that a French family could subsist on the things that are thrown away from an American home. Our people have felt that they had a land of lavish resources, and that it was useless to fuss over small savings. The careful economy that used to be practiced, is looked at with contempt of late, though recent gains in savings de posits shoiy that there is an increas ing interest in the thrift idea. If peo ple could be induced to take half the pains that used to be taken to avoid waste, poverty would become largely a thing of the past. Most any kind of an entertainment can get a full house by sending out pretty girls to sell the tickets. A Chicago woman stole a pair of brass altar candlesticks from a church. Evidently, she needed light. Ambition is a wonderful thing. A hen was found the other day in a field adjoining the links of -a club house, tiying to hatch out three golf balls. Everybody saw the Ten Command ments last week. Now, how many of us will keep them? Y. W. C. A. BOYS COMING The annual meeting of the older boys of the state Y. M. C. A. to be held in Clinton next month, will bring to our city a representative gathering of boys from pver the Piedmont sec tion. The Commercial Club at, its meeting Tuesday evening heartily en dorsed the invitation and appointed representatives from its'body to work with committees from other organiza tions in the city to provide for the comfort and pleasure of the visitors while in our midst. The people of Clinton will be asked to open their homes for the entertainment of the conference and there should be a willingness and a spirit of cooperation manifested by all. The bringing of a bunch of such fine boys into our community will prove a valuable advertisement for the town and for our people. To the extent that we cordially receive them and extend a spirit of hospitality, will our community be benefitted by their coming. The boys will go away either favorably or unfavorably impressed. Let’s show them every reasonable con sideration possible. Christmas will soon be here, which means that a little had better be added all along to the savings account to avoid the empty stocking. Those Idaho bank robbers who got only eleven cents found that the safe H asn’t what it was cracked up to be. The newest chess prodigy is named Ezeschewiski. We don’t know what it is, or how to pronounce it. The College has purchased 20 Acres of beautiful woodland from Mr. M. S. Bailey. ' Rev. Mr. Blakely, the new pastor of the Associate Reformed church, has begun his work here. Musgrove stReet is apparently get ting on a boom. Mr. D. E. Tribble is building a handsome residence on that street, and several others are pro jected. The following are the graduates of the Presbyterian College to receive diplomas in Copeland’s Hall at the closing/ exercises: Miss Marion Mc Crary,'Clinton; Miss Elizabeth-Hor ton, Clinton; Richard T. Fewell, Rock Hill; James D. Fulp, Fort Mill; J. E. Wallace, Tennessee; S. W. Sumerel, Clinton; L. St. Clair Hays, ClintoA. An old landmark has disappeared. The old Presbyterian churth of Clin ton, built fifty years ago, deprived of its congregation to a newer and better edifice about a ^ear ago, has-been torn dowh. We are glad that the material of which it was built will be used in constructing a residence on the grounds of the Presbyterian College of South Carolina and will thus be owned by the Presbyteriap church and used for Presbyterian purposes. Sen timent attaches itself even to boards and brick. COURTESY PAYS Some years ago the idea took hold all over the country that aspiring towns should advertise. So univer sally chambers of commerce and citi zens’ committees and town councils began to think up slogans and the world was exhorted to “Watch Wink- ville Win,” and “Boost for Bingtown For a long time the making of the slogan seemed to be about all that was done in these local advertising enter prises. It never seemed to occur to ( ’ eJ ‘ 8 the yreen sorghum. Cut FARM DEMONSTRATION NEWS C. B. CANNON, County Agent Green Sorghum Dangerous Feed I hav^ knowledge of several people of this county who are being troubled with sudden sickness among their live stock after a short time of grazing. This is an ideal year, and is a danger ous year to live stock in feeding them on green sorghum. Due to the long drought this season, the sorghum is stunted, so to -speak, and should not he fed to live stock until cured for hay. Qn account of the stuntness of the plant there is more danger of poison, prussic acid, being formed, v;hkh is deadly to stock at once, pro vided medical aid is nok rendered at once. The poison is always present in a* least minute traces, but becomes dangerous only when the plant is stunted by dry weather at certain stages of its growth. Sunlight, snch prevailed this year, causes the de velopment of the poison in excess. » I find a large number of live stock grazing on the cotton stalk and on small sorghum patches as I travel the county, and dm not surprised at the sickness. The grazing down of the cotton stalks is a good thing, but it is dangerous to let the stock have ac- On the 5th of June, we lost by •death, Mrs. W. B. Bell. Mrs. Bell yras cne of the five members received by the pastor of the church on the day of his ordination 42 years ago. Her husband was a deacon, and afterwards an elder in the Presbyterian church, in whose service he was active and ener getic at the time of his departure hence. He was for a long time treas urer of the Thornwell Orphanage and devoted to its interests. Mrs. Bell for the past few years, though in fairly good health, suffered from, loss of memory, living as one in a dream, but she had always been a devoted friend and an earnest Christian. Many of the friends of her youth have pass ed away, for she had lived three score years and ten, but she has gone to a country where there are plenty of those that she loved who have passed on before.

It was the common remark among those who at tempted to ' drive an automobile through the country that the improv ed roads of the township were vastly safer and better than the main streets of the villages. These were usually left so full of holes and ruts and so cut up with elevated cross-walks that to drive a motor car over them faster than a certain speed would be prose cuted to the full ^extent of the law. And village constables and justices •f the peace were frequently ih a lea gue of watchful waiting to make good the threat. —-r~-i All this has changed now. A spirit of hospitality is' spreading.
