GREAT CROWDS FOR

Mr. E. 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.

you want to see what a modem beauty

The people who hdller so loud at
Saturday’s football game are not near

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.

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

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.

October, 1925, we will render a final

anybody that people don’t rush to a
town and plead to be permitted to
stop there because of its slogan. Many
of the places having the most entic
ing slogans also.had the most wretch
ed hotel accomodations. 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. Nearly,
every town and village likes to be
known for its courtesy to tourists and
strangers. Pavements are of the best.
