HOW PEOPLE SUCCEED
The idea is held by a great many
people that they can gain wealth by
some lucky speculation. 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

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.

Greenwood, Nov. 16.—Negroes are
