They cob of course find instances/where people have made money without knowing much about the field where they were investing. But there are a far greater number of cases where people have lost money because they invested in forms of property with which they were unfamiliar. The majority of people in the world today who have acquired wealth have got it,by their thorough knowledge of the business field into which they, put their money and effort and by hard and consistent work. If they earned it in some line of business, they usually got it because they under stood that business better than the vpeople with whom they competed, and ^because they put more energy and en terprise into it. If they gained it in .the field of investment, they got it in the great majority of cases, because they made n thorough study of the conditions in the particular field they were putting their money into. They were able to form a shrewd opinion as to the developments of the future and the things that would help or hinder the success of such ah investment. It is. pretty hard to get something for nothing, though you’ll never make lots of peopl® believe it. Money com monly- conies as the reward of super ior service or superior intelligence or insight. People who can estimate hu man action and motives correctly are very apt to make money, because •they see ahead and know in advance what people -are-going, to do, and the kind of things for which there is a public demand. ' They are observant people, who es- v timate aright the popular tendencies end can size up people and commer cial and economic conditions. The community is full of people who have lost money because they bought forms of prosperity. they did not know any thing about. People who usually say, “It can’t be done,” usually can’t do it. It is claimed, and we suppose it's true, that the modern bride .is help less without a good can-opener. Those of us who have found noth ing in 1925 to be thankful for, are foolish to look for anything in 1926. People used to be more sociable but now everybody is in a hurry to get to the football game. The farmers can get all the exer cise they need ^without having the hunters tearing down their fences. The slow pay people are not much concerned about quicker mail deliver ies so they can get their bills sooner. The Congressmen are heading for Washington about now and they are expected to succeed in spending money. I • Good time to begin buying Christ mas presents, but as usual many peo ple prefer to get their feet trodden or. in the Christmas rush. The complaint is being heard that this is going to be a severe winter. Better write your congressman about it. With the accession of Dr. Robert Adams, theye are now six Presbyter ian ministers resident in the city of Clinton. Dr. S. P. Fulton gave a farewell talk in the chapel on last Sabbath. On the next day he started on his long jcurney to Kobe, Japan, to begin his work as professor in the Theological Seminary. We have a notice of the marriage of Rev. John W. Carpenter, one of our former pupils, now pastor at Mal den, W. w Va., to Miss Lucy Carter Moore of Portsmouth, Ohio. We give our heartiest congratulations and wish them the greatest prosperity. Drs. Jack and Lee Young are push ing on the construction of their big store on Musgrove street. The foun dation has been excavated and the foundation work begun. This building will be a handsome improvement and will send a stream of trade up Mus grove way. Formerly we used to sing about be ing rocked in the cradle of the deep, but now we are. merely bounced about in our flivvers. The horn of plenty used to rule at harvest time according -*© the old poets, but the automobile horn now has the d^y. r How times change. The families that used to gather around the old hearthstone at Thanksgiving now n'eet around the register or radiator. EDUCATION WEEK How many people in Clinton know that this is “Education Week” or have given it a serious thought? It is a special week set apart by the President of the United-* States, the Governors of the respective states, Mayors and other officials in the hope that the entire country will join in its observance. The week is given ofer to a consideration of educational work and patrons are asked to visit their schools and gain first-hand knowledge of the work'being done in the class- room and manifest their interest. Certainly, a campaign designated 'for the sole purpose of striking at illiteracy, should have the whole hearted support of all our peo ple. No one, especially a South Caro linian,' will deny the great need for a wider education within the limits of , our state. The challenge rings out clqy-ly to all citizens and calls each one of us to do our part. Good citizen- While its true the Oglethorpe boys succedeed in beating P. C., they haven’t anything to write bragging letters over to their mothers. It is claimed that young people of this rapid age are getting married too young, but if so it will hasten the ^ime when they will be deploring the wildness of'their children. The little city of Clinton is waking up out of its dream into the actual business of growing. On every side there is indication ot-anergy. On the southeast the dome of the new recita tion hall of the Presbyterian College, is dominant on the landscape. A handsomer building' it would be hard to find. It is a credit to the Synod that has erected it and to the town. Close by, streets are being cut through and property put on the market by Mr. Spencer and some twenty acres will soon (become the paradise of homes. New streets are being opened in every part of the city. New houses are projected for Owens Hill, /where a handsome suburb has just begun to make itself felt. Between Owens Hill and the railway, a number of improvements, are in evidence. Every main thoroughfare is strewn with water pipes for the new system about to be installed. Wires are up for electric lights. The foundations for the standpipe are ready and the standpipe will be quickly built. The power house is almost ready for use. The city hall is completed and ready for business. On the orphanage grounds, the foundation^ of a hand some, new family home to be of gran ite,‘are completed and the building will quickly rise upward. The old col lege recitation hall is to be remodeled and the whole front of the orphanage grounds fenced in with cement blocks. The cement block curbing will soon become popular. Two dwellings are already so provided for and scorec more will probably,follow. A doze oi more new family dwellings are pro jected in various parts of the town. Lots are changing hands. The paint brush is everywhere in evidence Clinton is coming. FINDS MORE WHITE PEOPLE IN COURTS ship is founded upon education—with the absence of education and enlight enment comes "Crime and lawlessness. Becoming “Meaner and Meaner,” Says Judge Ramage. Fewer Negroes, He Claims. Greenwood, Nov. 16.—Negroes are getting better every day and white people are getting meaner and meaner in every way. Judge C. J.
