Clinton. S. C. CLINTON, S. C., NOV. 5, 1925 8 PAGES SEVERE COMPETITION^AHEAD The opinion was recently expressed by F. Edson White, president of Ar mour and Co., that American industry within the next 20 years will face the severest competition is has ever known. He felt Jhat at present world commerce is repressed as the result of war conditions. But there is a kind of “leashed power” as he ex pressed it, that is bound to break forth and American industries will feel it. * . Those people over in Europe have . been hardened and rendered almost de- ' sperate by war conditions. It is not like America, where so many wage- earners are rolling around in their automobiles. Over there they are having to struggle hard to get along. Any experience of struggle makes people very keen to make good. Our old pioneers exemplified that truth. They were up against hard conditions, and it made them very determined and resourceful. - They could beat the world through their ingenuity and earnestness. ' — v . ,.

Rev. S. P. Fulton, D. D. f will preach the sermon before the graduating class of Ihe Presbyterian College. ' The Ladies Aid Society of the Pres- byteria church has incorporated a movement for the purchase of a pipe organ for the church. Our Freshman class is very much indebted to Mr. G. C. Young for his great kindness in furnishing his wagon and mules and his kind-hearted self, as a driver to take them out to Riverside cottage on a picnic. Rev. J. F. Jacobs and Mr. Geo. H. Ellis are putting up handsome dwell ings in the “Spencer woods.” Both these homes will be ready for use in a month or two. . . COVERING T^E GAMES . We are sure that all lovers of foot ball are enjoying the splendid write ups of the P. C. gameo that are being Europe are up against hard conditions written especially for The Chronicle nnd it will make them very resourceful by Mr. Tommy Grafton, one of the amf determined. In many cases they outstanding members of the college may be able to beat out the easy-goinjr student body. Mr. Grafton is an un- workmen of our own country, who in usually versatile writer and knows many trades find high wages coming how to put football news into attract ive and readable style. The Chroni cle, along with its varied news ser vice, is endeavoring to give complete accounts of all college athletic activi ties, and Mr. Grafton is making a \ahiable contribution towards the realization of this aim. HOSPITAL WORKERS President Coolidge sent a greeting the other day to the convention of the American Hospital Association at Louisville, Ky. He praised the work of mercy done by these people, and rightly so. The country should have a very warm feeling of gratitude for the nurses and doctors and all who serve in the hospitals. Most of us sooner or jater, have to depend upon their kindness and fidelity. They must often perform this service under con ditions of great fatigue, and it must seem depressing to see so much sick ness and suffering in the world. Yet in spite of this drain upon their sympathies and strength, they are a very devoted and cheerful group of people. Their hopefulness has helped many suffering men and women to pull themselves together and take that confident*view that promotes health and strength. ^ to them without great effort The American people must get ready to meet this competition. They have always been bright and quick, but sometimes bright and quick people lack thoroughness. It has often been said that In the race for foreign trade, the European peoples would take more pains and pay more attention to de tail than our people will. It is essential for America to keep all the foreign trade it has, and to do that we shall have to do thorough and energetic work. The workers need to cooperate by efficient production. Our producers will have to hustle to beat out many foreign competitors who are sending goods over ( here and underselling us in our own market. ... \ / OPEN YOUR HOMES The local committee for the Boys Y. M. C. A. Conference which opens here tomorrow, is making an urgent appeal in today’s paper to the people of Clinton to open their homes for the entertainment of the two hundred boys who are to be the city’s guests for their three days’ session. Thus far, only a few have volunteered to provide 'entertainment for the visitors and the work must be completed within the next few hours. This fine gathering of boys, coining from every part of the Piedmont section, will be either favor- -ably or unfavorably impressed with Clinton and the reception they receive here, their verdict resting entirely in the hands of our people. If they are cordially received and shown every reasonable courtesy, they will depart with the highest praise and apprecia tion for our community and our peo ple. Certainly we cannot afford to al low them to leave with any other feel ing. For the committee in chargejof the entertainment of the conference, The Chronicle asks the assistance os every citizen of the town. To the heads k£T families, particularly, is the appeal mode, in the hope that there will be a generous opening of Clinton homes for the entertainment of the boys, and that every, possible courtesy be ex tended them. . Real Clinton hospitality has a fine opportunity to manifest it self during the next few days. : En Passant • ♦ W. W. H. ♦ ♦ ♦ This is good weather for colds.

Broad Send for Clubbing List Satisfied Customers I The reason why property sells high er in Clinton than in neighboring cities, is not far to find. Clinton has but little ^ebt; its taxes are veryldW; its health is marvelous; it has a sple- did educational system; it has first- class society; it is a solid town and is growing, growing, growing. Clinton, dirt is going to be higher neift year than it is now; and a wise man will invest and that very quickly. If he does not he will have to go farther and fare worse. With impressive ceremonies, and in the presence of a large assemblage of interested spectators, the First Presbyterian church of Clinton was solemnly dedicated to the service of Almighty God, on last Sunday by the Rev. Geo. H. Cornelson. A most ap propriate program had been arranged for the occasion, which was carried out with perfectness on that ideal day to the glory of the Risen Lord, to the happiness of the pastor, Rev. Wm. P. Jacobs, and the devout people of all denominations in Clinton and the sur rounding country. ^JVhat the Lord is going to do with Thornwell Orphanage in the years to come we do not know, but we feel sure that He will do good things for it. The orphanage is to go on and on with its good for hundreds of. years. It is our earnest prayer that thro the centuries it may be preserved from all error, that the Lord Jesus Christ may be supreme in its counsels, that education may be secondary to Godli ness in the ambition of those who diAct it, and yet that education may, of all worldly plans, staqd ahead of everything else. It is now almost 30 years since this town of Clinton voted out the liquor shops, and never once has it gone back on that record. The result is not evi dent to the younger generation sim ply because they know nothing of what a liquor selling town is, 4>at the older inhabitants who can remember back to the times of the open bar room could tell the difference by their noses if they were not blind. t The h of this young city, the staKJfty of its population, the solidity of character of its citizenship ia noted. Its business prosperity and its intellectual growth are all tnce-‘ able to temperance. Nor have any people fell the benefit of it more* than the cokxed population. Clinton is noted for its fine colored citizenship. There are many well-to-do people among them; they own nice and com fortable homes, and it is safe to say that ha4 they been surrounded with opportunities for drink, this would not have been the case.

We wish to call yoar attention to a blowing device recently in vented for the purpose of drying garments of all kinds, especially silk dresses. This prevents dresses from shrinking regardless of any process may be subjected to. After the garment is ^subjected to a cleaning process, every thread of the garment is harmlessly blown out to its full capacity, length and size, renewing it to its newness and fluffinesa., And preventa the garment from being subjected to a rigid pressing (which usually shows iron marks, etc.) and this is hereby elimi nated. This btowing machine has been installed for the benefit of oar patrons, and is now in operation in our establishment for the pur pose of overcoming past objectionable features. We solicit your close inspection, and ask that you note the difference In the appearance of your garments when they are returned to -you from our establishment.
