CLINTON, S. C., DEC. 3, 1923 12 PAGES CHRISTMAS SAVINGS 1 At banks all over the country, de positors in Christmas Savings clubs are about to draw out tlwir money, the result of a ye'r of prudent fore sight and thrift. They will have gain ed something more than the mere supi that is credited to them, and the nite things that can be bought with it. Many of them have made a new discovery. They thought previously that it was impossible for them to save money. The demands made on them were so numerous and pressing, that they simply could not lay aside a cent. Now they know they were mistaken. •.Incited by the savings club scheme, they have set to work the past year to form this regular habit of laving aside something out of their income, and have found that they can do it, and not suffer any unhappiness or de privation either. By forethought and planning they can get along all right. Now if they will not use up all this sum they have accumulated, but will lay aside some of it, and regularly add to it each year, they have made a start toward financial independence. THE SEASON ENDS The college football season, claim ing the attention of thousands of peo ple, has ended. Interest in the great gridiron sport- increases with each year and the class of football that is being played is continually improving. One year over, all eyes are immedia tely turned on the next season and lovers of the game dream and pro- phesy aa to what will happen one year hence. But we started out to say that while the Presbyterian College team, under Walter Johnson, did not win the pen nant, all things taken into considera tion, it made a very creditable show ing. The nightmare of the season just ended was the Newberry exhibi tion, but barring it, the Blue Stock ing boys played a good brand of ball and made a fine impression wherever they appeared. This year’s team is composed almost entirely of young men, inexperienced as compared with many others in the things that happen on a football field. With the experi ence they have gained this year, the foundation has been laid for a still stronger team next season, and there is no reason why P. C. should not have as good a team as can be found in South Carolina. Congratulations to the 1925 eleven. The boys fought a manly fight, they played cllkp football, ancl conducted themselves like gentlemen. This in the long run, is the thing that counts. It is the only thing that will protect - and save college athletics. A wdRTHY APPEAL The lo^ral Lutherans, through one of their l^nost devoted and belo 1 members, Ira C. Boland, are making an appeal to the Clinton people for financial assistance in the erection of their cwn house of worship, which is n^w under construction. Certainly, if there are any church people anywhere who deserve congra tulations and encouragement, they are the local citizens of the Lutheran faith. Five years ago, with twenty charter members, St. John’s Lutheran church of ClintAn, was organized, and Dr. A. J. ^Bowers served as its first and beloved pastor. During this period these people have been with out a house of worship, but through the kindness of the Masonic Temple have bee$ able to regularly hold their church services. They have shpwn an interest and a fidelity to the church they love, that is remarkable and is to be commended in the highest terms. During all this period they have had their eves on one goal, that of owning their own church building. They have labored and sacrificed until now their hopes are soon to be realized. They are happy in the thought, and rightly so, for it is a privilege to every man and woman to have a church in his or her community with which to affi liate and to manifest a spirit of loyal ty towards as has this small congrega tion. With a membership of only 35, one can readily see that they have tackled a big task, and one that they cannot accomplish unless the people of our sister churches come to their rescue. With this end in view, several citizens representing the various denomina tions of the city, have volunteered to serve on a committee to raise funds to help the Lutherans in owning their own church building. All in the com munity, regardless of church affilia tions, will be given an opportunity to contribute to this fund, and it is hoped that there will be a generous and sympathetic response. The cause is a worthy one and should appeal to the hearts of our people. None of us would live in Clinton, or in any other community for that matter; where there were no churches. We are all joined in the same purpose, with the same Father over all, and all working with the same end in view. A spirit of unity, of helpfulness among church members is always beautiful and high ly desirable and helpful. It is well to remember this at all times. The Lutherans have undertaken a big job and they must have help if they succeed: Wouldn’t it be fine if every church member in Clinton would Seventeen Years Ago!

ANOTHER “1740” WINTER IS SEEN Mayor McMillan is putting up a handsome residence on Musgrove street. Close by, on the same street, Mr. John H. Young is erecting two nice cottages to rent. They will be rented as soon as finished. Just back of Mr. McMillan’s, Mr. J. W. Leake has built a nice home and has occu pied it. That part of the town is rapidly growing. 0 Prof. Hall of the graded schools is advocating the erection of a hand some $20,000 school building on sonfe eligible site. The new “union station” is being rapidly completed and will be in use before winter. The improvement is Considerable both to the appearance of the town and the comfort of travel ers. Clinton certainly needs a tinner and a good one. It also needs a steam laundry. Next summer it will need an ice factory. It ought to have a hospital. There are openings here for various kinds of manufacturing inter ests. A furniture factory ought to pay here if twenty-eight of them pay at High Point, N.

The electric lights were turned on in the Edit)i Home on the evening cf the 23rd, with “thunders of applause” from the girls of the home. On that same afternoon at the Silliman Cot tage, joy reigned in a few hearts at least. For on that afternoon, Mr. J.

All parlies rejoice with the happy couple. professor in the Distinguished French " Meterologist Says Various Countries Will ‘ Suffer Severely. Caen, France, Nov. 30.—It is going to be a cold winter all around the 41st parallel of latitude, as cold ga- the winter of 1740 in England, when the Thames froze over. This pre diction is made by Abbe Gabriel, France’s most distinguished meterolo- gist and distinguished University of Caeni. “New York, Chicago, all of Canada and the whole of the northern part of the United States will have a bit terly cold winter, which ought to set in about the middle of December or early in January,”' said the priest- meterologist to the Associated Press. “This is my prediction, based on my system of weather forecast I may be wrong, of course, but if the win ter is cold, 9s I have said it will be, it will be proof that astronomic cy cles do exist and it wiR- go far toward establishing a scientific basis for me- terology. France, Germany, and Eng land will have a big share in the cold weather.” With the advent of cold weather yesterday there are not a few per sons who believe that Abbe Gabriel’s prediction will come true. 7 HEBHHHHEHHHI Let Your Telephone Run Your Errands Dr. E.

THE PUBLIC’S ATTITUDE TO WARD ATHLETES Dr. Hopkins, president of Dart mouth college, recently protested against the attitude of the public to ward the athletes in football and such sports. So long as they win, he said, they are heroes, touted to the skies. But let them lose a game or two, and make a few mistakes, they are brand ed as yellow, and as cowards and ig noramuses. Lovers of baseball know too well the type of bleacherite who howls for a player to be taken out for some one mistake, when he himself could not go on the diamond and catch a pop fly hit with a basket. » We demand courteous conduct on the field from the athletes, and then many of the spectators give the play ers this kind of a deal. College ath letes are often made to feel that they must win games or they are dis graced. A game like football demands that the players- act with intelligence and quickness of chain lightning, and act perfectly right, too. The players are , held up by the spectators to an im possible standard, for the human mind is not usually built so it acts that way. When a player makes a bril liant play, some slight shift of luck might turn the whole situation against him, so that he may not be entitled to any more credit than the one who The way to enforce a law is to en force it. Some of our officers think the way is to wink at it. Blease is going to start a paper of his own. Unlike a great many mer chants, he believes in advertising.

Congress is now assembling, but this is not expected to make the coun try any safer. Work is progressing on the Luther an church. Ira Boland says it is something Clinton has badly needed a long time. * The college class rooms may not need any enlarging, but the football stadiums certainly do. It is expected that the biggest thing congress will do in December will be to adjourn for the holidays. It is claimed that old fashioned girls have disappeared, but perhaps they are in such demand for wives that they do not appear much in society. This is a funny world.
