The nick man demands diet suitable to his condition of course, and a tough, wooly, asbestos-like piece of white bread is about the last ’ thing I would prescribe for him, and even then, when there is nothing else in the house to eat. It is human weakness that we in dulge too freely in things that entice the appetite, and right there lies the objection to warm, n^rishing, diges tible breads. It is the quantity eaten, and not the temperature that does harm. If two biscuits are all we need, why eat six ? Overeating is to be condemned, no- matter what the article of diet. A natural appetite is a pretty good guide to what the system needs. A depraved appetite is a dangerous pos session. The natural appetite may be sated,—the depraved never! A care ful study of our appetites might be better recreation than writing mani festos opposed to good nourishment. —-“r- CLUB TO MEET The January meeting of the Com mercial club will be held in the club rooms next Tuesday night at 7 o’clock.

The peo ple who have made much of them selves have usually manifested all those qualities of which the president spoke. Boys and girls who stick strictly to their work and obey the home folks are sometimes regarded as “goody- goody”. The high fliers, and the woods are full of them, jeer as they j pension, pass by on their way to Sunday school or as they study next day’s lessons. These sportive youngsters do well to get their laugh in now; as they may not have chance for it later. For the boys and girls who have attended to duty day by day are the ones who attract attention, and who are called to high positions as the years go on. Christmas and New Year have gone, but the perils of Ground Hog Day are still to be met. Are you a resident of Clinton for 1926—or do you just board here? If Congress wants ,to do something, how would it do to give everybody a The New Year will be all right for the fellow who hustles. The bench- warmer has no right to expect any thing. STOCK TAKING January is a time when many busi ness houses take account of stock. It is an anxious period in many con cerns. They may have little idea whether they are making or losing money. The figures from various de partments are therefore added up with intense interset, to see how they compare with previous years. It is a thrilling moment when the final totals ".re reached, and the same show a good profit. But alas, too frequently, the figures of gain shrink very low or show a minus sign. All is not joy in business. Human nature has a wonderful power of recovery after such reverses. The cheerful business man finds the inventory a wonderful help toward seeing his mistakes, and i t enables him to detect some of his losses and No more holidays for some time now, but many folks will continue to get in a good rest every day at their plate of business. College football trains the student’s feet and baseball their hands. These are the important things. The fellows who just won’t pay, can’t understand why their creditors keep sending them bills. Seventeen Years Ago Items From “Our Monthly” of 1905, Dr. Wm. P. Jacobs, Editor. Last Sunday night there were 200 lights shining in the vaulted roof of the First Presbyterian church of this city, but there were only 160 people in the pews. Things ought to be even ed up better than that. Shall we put out some of the lights or draw in more people to the night services. The A. M. E. Church Conference has been in session in Clinton during the past month. The proceedings were altogether worthy of the church court and they were kindly received by the people. Rev. and Mrs. J. B. Branch arrived at the orphanage a few days ago. A cottage has been erected for them on Centennial street which they will shortly occupy. Jacks Township is moving to Clin ton rapidly. So much the better for Clinton. But what of Jack’s town ship. Mr. -J. W. Copeland is erecting a large store building on Main street, adjoining Dr. Wofford’s dentist shop. We are glad to see the good work go Next year will probably see a on number of stores erected on Broad street on the lots recently bought at the Vance sale. We are looking to see who will put up Clinton’s first sky-scraper. Some folks- think it is dull work to sit under the evening lamp and read, but no one gets into the police court or has to go to a hospital as a result thereof. Formerly people were supposed to eern their bread by the sweat of their brow, but nobody ever sweats* nowa days except the boss.

So he picks up ld fool is alwayg the big{?est his courage and goes on again, facing the year with enthusiasm and a deter mination to work. We have often wondered why Dover has not been selected by manu facturing enterprises as a business point. It is as level as a floor and is at the crossing of the Atlantic Coast Line and Seaboard Air Line railways. Its a noble spot for some extensive enterprise.

Wish You a HAPPY NEW YEAR Certainly We shall have a good year if we put our ' hands to the plow and work with a will and use ordinary gumption. Put on your rosy glasses. See the blessings^ that are ours and forget the bumps. Last yegr wa& our very best. Every piano sold from our floor before the end of the year and we start with a clean sfieet and new goods throughout. We have a car load on the way. These will be distributed from Augusta, Batesburg, Lees- . ville, Saluda, Greenwood, Newberry, Pomaria, Chapin, Little Mountain, Whitmire, Union, Cross Anchor, Ware Shoals, Laurens, Woodruff, and goodness only knows where all else. We are known far and wide and our dealings with our customers bring many, many sales through them that we had never heard of before. We have become an institution in Western South Carolina. Now join the happy throng and buy a piano in January. O’Daniel & Reid INFLUENCE The monuments which mark the graves of worthy men do the least to keep their memory green in the world. It is during their lifetime that they, consciously or not, build the monu ments which cause them to remain alive after they are buried. There is thus a brand of immortality which endures in the world after death. With some it takes the form of a book as in the case of “Uncle Remus” of whom it was said that he caused the lowly cabin fires to light the far win dows of the world. Another leaves a business institution which has been built up through his genius and which transmits to the world his industry and ideals of service in a long pro cession of benefits to those who have lost Ji m for a while. The legislature’s usual grind starts next week. The chief center of inter est, as usual, will be the handing out of several juicy jobs. * Love is a queer thing. It will make a girl leave a good home just to live in the same house with a male animal who drinks booze and eats onions. GETTING RICH QUICK The question is asked, and quite frequently, what must be the effect on the ordinary run of young people, 'when they learn about those who have in a short time been able to acquire large amounts of money. They real about Red Grange who picks up^him- drels of thousands of dollars in a Tew Professor Paul H. Douglas of the University of Chicago, tells us that the earning power of the white col lar worker has dwindled 5 per cent since 1900 and that the manual labor- ei has increased 28 per cent, all of which means should go to work and stop worrying about the high cost of laundry. About you? ThmgB You Should KnsVr 1 t - weeks after leaving college, or about moving picture actors and actresses who earn sums far greater than is paid the president of the United States. The question is asked, as to how far such dazzling successes must create discontent with the ordinary Blow process of work which most of us must follow. ^ There is something in human nature that provides amazingly generous re wards for a certain few who manage to get conspicuous positions, and par ticularly those who are able to amuse the public. The ordinary actor who can make the public laugh, no matter how coarse or silly he may be, may be paid many times as much as the The ladies of the First Presbyter ian church recently had a meeting and decided to put their work to the pur chase of_,a handsome pipe-organ. They made a pi’oposition to the dea cons to divide labors and expenses and to buy the organ between them. SEAL CAMPAIGN NEARS FIVE HUNDRED DOLLAR MARK lL The Red Cross Seal campaign has netted so far approximately $425, ac cording to Miss Kate V. Wofford, county chairman. All of the commun ity chairmen had not been heard from, she said, an(f she hopes that their sales will bring the to|al to $500. COTTON GINNINGS There were 18,504 bales of cotton ginned in Laurens county prior to December 13, the government report says. This is about the size of the crop of 1922 in this county. WHAT DO S.
