One thing that helps build up a fine
town here, or anywhere else for that
^matter, is to form the habit of mak
ing the acquaintance of your home
l folks.
^AY hen you-see a-certain .fellow on
the. street day after clay, it is a mighty
good idea to speak to him. Make any
kind of excuse to get acquainted writh
him. He end you are membefs of one
community, with common interests.
You no doubt have ideas in common
that you would like to help put over.
Better find out who he is. and make
friends with him.
The same principle applies to the
women folks in their meetings with
their own sex. Whether the men
should speak to the women and the
women to the men, is a question of
social ethics that Can be referred to
the etiquet editors. But anyway a
town where people get well acquainted
makes a very pleasant impression for
its cordiality and good feeling,' and
it is easier to organize progressive
movements there.

had brood sows, others had dairy cows,
orchards, vegetables, hay, and other
feed for their stock. In other words,
those who had raised their own food
and stock feed, or had been able to
market poultry and dairy products,
had also been able to pay their doc
tor’s bill. And by the same token had
been able to pay their other bills,
without doubt.
Spring will soon be here. The de
cisions the farmer makes, regarding
what he will raise next season will
materially affect his condition next
fall. Will he profit by the experience
of those who have succeeded through
diversification, or will he stick to the
old poverty-breeding one-crop plan?
His doctor and other creditors will
be interested in this question. The
framer should take an interest in it
himself.

GIVING
The following paragraph is taken
from Sunday’s issue of The Index-
Journal:
“Although very small in mem
bership the congregation of the
Greenwood Associate Reformed
Presbyterian church perhaps paid
more per capita for all church
purposes last year than any
church in town. This congrega
tion has only 65 members, only
50 of whom are resident, and it
paid last year to all purposes a
total of $2,500, or an average of
nearly $40 a member.’’
Here is a record to be proud of.
These Greenwood Reformed Presbyte
rians have set an example that few
churches can equal in their per capita
worship of giving. Churches every
where, regardless of denominations,
are finding it difficult to raise prop
er funds fon their causes, and many
people* far more than one might ex
pect, are perfectly willing to attend
church services and enjoy their wor
ship privileges without contributing
to the support of the work. But not
so with these Greenwood Psalm-sing
ers.
There are few more loyal or devout
church people than the A. R. P.’s, and
Unlike a great many other folks, they
take their giving seriously. While
we do not have the information, we
are not afraid to venture a prediction
that regardless of the fine record of
this Greenwood congregation, it can
be matched or even excelled by the
little band of faithful A. R. P.’s in
our city who have as their splendid
leader, the Rev. C. Bynum Betts.
Eggs are reported much cheaper,
but you would never know it if you
happen to land in a restaurant.
There’s this advantage to building
air castles—you won’t have to pay
taxes on them.
The early bird used to get the worm,
and now he has to hustle to get a
place to park his car.
Another nice thing about bobbed
hair is that you can be sure there isn’t
a rat in it.
Some one wants to know what a
quandary is. That’s what the legisla
ture is in.
Money talks, and sometimes i^ in
duces a minister to accept a call to a
new church.
We chronicle with deep regret the
death of young Jayruffe Kennedy. His
death was very sudden, resulting from
pneumonia contracted in his night
work as operator at the Seaboard of
fice. Jayruffe was a bright and in
dustrious boy and was popular with
>oung and old alike.
The A. R. P. church building is to
be ceaioated in August, all debts paid.
We congratulate the brethren, they
are a year or two ahead of us in our
dedication.
The death of Mr. W. T. Vance on the
2Sth of April, was not only a severe
bereavement to a happy householu
but was a loss to the Presbyterian
church, of which for many years he
had been a member. He had been
waiting, watching for his summons,
and that without fear. Life was sjuveet
te him, notwithstanding his physical
trials, an^l his life amnog us was sweet
to us also.

Dr. Frank Crane Says— Tel. 2604 Clinton, S. C.
Y’es, along about this time of the
year we usually have some weather
like this that makes people talk.
The man who lets the hypocrites
keep him out of church is respectfully
reminded that there are hypocrites
in hell, too.
A Chicago man was sent to an asy
lum because he had a passion for go

anywhere. They might have sent him

IMPROVE THE SERVICE
A news item of interest in today’s
paper is the announcement that the
Southern Bell Telephone Company i»
soon to bo located in a handsome new
home on South Broadway, designed
and built expressly for their busi
ness. The building will bs an addition
to the town and will greatly improve
their-local facilities for doing business.
The matter of improved telephone
service for Clinton should be pressed
just at this time following the an
nouncement of the leasj of a new
building in the city. For a long, long
time the company ha ; been promising
improved service here, and yet the re
lief has never come. The old anti
quated system of “ringing the beir’j
should be 4‘scanled and a modern ser
vice installed in keeping with other
towns similar to ours. We suppose
it is contemplated by the company to
improve its service with the erection
of its new home, and thia matter
should be presented to the-pruper au
thorities and diligently pushed. The
“party line” service now offered here
is somewhat of a nuisance and should
likewise go. Clinton, both in local
and long distance business, contri
butes a large volume to the Southern
Bell Company, and in turn, they
should give the community the very
best service possible to which we are
entitled by the rates we are being re
quired to pay.
We congratulate the telephone peo
ple on their move for a new home
here. Let them include in that plant
an equipment that will improve their
local service and contribute to their
mutual benefit and the public in like
measure.

OPINIONS ARE LIKE RIPPLES
Opinions are like ripples.
How long they last depends upon
the surface on which they appear.
The mind of the individual who
holds the opinion is the surface whose
character determines its lasting qual
ity.
Think over your friends. Some
change their opinions continuously,
other with great infrequency.
Y'ou have seen many kinds of rip
ples—ripples on water, ripples on
sand, ripples on ice, and ripple marks
in solid limestone.
All are duplicated in the minds of
men.
On water, ripples alter with each
succeeding breath; in stone they
change only with the orosion of years.
One type of mind is fluid; another
concrete.
The first is plastic but unretentive;
the second is retentive but unchang
ing and indurate.
One changes its opinions too fre
quently; the other not frequently
enough.
In a general way these two charac
teristics of mind represent two stages |
of life. ,
In youth the tendency is to change
our options too often. j :
fn old age the tendency is to change , I-
them too seldom.
^Youth is a time for ripples on wa- <!
tor. It is a time for alternating,)
changing open-mindedness, for a sort

Items from “Our Monthly” of

Old age is a tirhe when the ripples
of opinion seem marked in stone.
They are fixed. They alter only |
after long erosion by contrary evi- ,
dence.
Both attitudes are off balance. One 1
leans too far forward, the other too
far back. Between the two extremes
is the happy mean.
Of the tw r o attitudes the one that
can be most controlled is that of so
lidity. Little can be done to change
the attitude of the mind of youth, and!

would not seem natural to have any
body else at the head of affairs.
There is some objection to the plan
for enlarging the cemetery, the ob
jection coming from the board of
health. The church is perfectly will
ing for the council to move in the
matter of a town cemetery, and does
not feel at all in the matter, but it is
evident that something has to be done
and done quickly.
But open-mindedness is a habit thtt
can be cultivated.
“A new truth is a truth and an old
error is an error,” is a good motto
for advancing years.
The new Presbyterian church is
growing rapidly and will soon be a
handsome and completed building.
