C., FEB. 17, 1927 8 PAGES BABSON’S BUSINESS TALKS W*e are beginning today the publi cation of a series of articles written for The* Chronicle by Roger W. Bab- son, that will be highly profitable to boys and business men alike. They will continue for the next ten weeks and will prove helpful to all who read them. As a lecturer on business problems. Mr. Bahson is well known in most of the cities of this country and Canada. A man of unbound energy, he has done more than any other man to make statistics a live issue in business and to get a real vision into business men. His life work may be summed up in these two quotations: “What we get out of life is simply a reaction from what we put into it,” and “We cannot harm or help others without likewise harming or helping our- sehres.” Don’t miss this series of articles. The Chronicle is continually on the lookout for something good for its large family of readers. munity, and from his actions since as suming office—the public has every reason to believe that he is going to discharge this duty fearlessly and without favor. and it is interesting to have these reefs pointed out upon which many a x, t> j u j |human bark has been shipwrecked. ‘I 3 ’ U f r ^ n I M W "W us all to examine this the work at the Clinton and Lydia | Ut of the Lonndon jud and mills under the auspices of the pastor; „. herein we h „ ve heeJ , mistaken in . ttle l ,on °!- the Flrst Presbyterian past and t0 avoid mistakes in the fu . and se church ture.

The first prayer meeting in the new Presbyterian church building was held on the afternoon of the 22nd of July that they will also be interesting to and the pastor conducting. Short talks our readers. Here are a few of the items showing the activities of the automobile industry during 192G, fig ures being in round numbers: Cars produced, /4,480,000; trucks produced, 530,000; wholesale value of cars and trucks, $3,056,950,000; whole sale value of parts and tires for re placement, $1,375,000,000. Persons employed in automobile and allied lines, 3,500,000. Gasoline consumed, 8.650,000,000 gallons; oil, 560.000.000 gallons. It is also shown that 74 per cent of cars produced were closed cars; 64 per cent of new cars were sold on in stallments, and motor vehicle taxes amounted to $735,226,000. Motor vehicles registered in the United States numbered 22,330,000, or 81 per cent' of all cars registered in the world. While the human mind can not grasp the significance of some of these figures, they at least convey the im pression that a sizeable industry has grown up from practically nothing in the last 25 years. were made by Messrs. Harper Boyd, G. C. Young and Y. R. Scruggs. ♦ ♦ CHANGE THE NAME Why not change the name “Gold- ville” to “Joanna”? The suggestion Kas merit in it and we doubt if there would be any objection raised to the idea. The Banna Manufacturing Company of Goldville. after being purchased three years ago by Messrs. Stewart Hartshorn. H. W. Hack, E. L. Durgin and associates, was changed to the Joanna Cotton Mills. The mill was named* in honor of Mrs. Hack, before her marriage Miss Joanna Hartshorn, daughter of the well-known manufac turer, Stewart Hartshorn, first invent or of spring rollers for window shades. It was a gracious compliment to her, and since the present owners acquired the property, Mrs. Hack has shown a spirit of interest and helpfulness to wards the mill and its people that has attracted considerable attention and commendation .by those who are famil iar with her work. Why not go a step further now and name this thriving little village “Jo anna”? There is not a mill in this entire section that has enlarged .and developed during the past three years in a greater degree than the Joanna property. At the time the mill was purchased, it consisted of approxi mately 14,000 spindles. Its continual enlargement has brought this number to over 30,000 spindles, which running on a day and night schedule as it is now doing, is the equivalent to 60,000 spindles. Mr. Hack and his associa tes have shown faith in this part of the country by investing heavily at GoMville and their development pro gram. still unfinished, is destined to make of the mill one of the most modern and attractive in this entire Piedmont section. We would be de lighted to see the mill further en larged to a total of 100,000 spindles, and. that is exactly what we are pre dicting will he done some time in the near future. As a compliment to Mr. and Mrs. Hack, and those associated with them, we make the motion that the city of Goldville be changed in name to “Jo anna.” Goldville means Joanna Cot ton Mills, so why not call it “Joanna”? : En Passant * ♦ W. W. H. It takes a real live man to avoid the dead beats. Yes, a man can find bootleg whis key but he is a fool if he drinks it. Clinton college opened on the 23rd with quite a somewhat larger band of students than heretofore. All of the friends of the institution are pleased to know that there is a brighter out- lock in its affairs. The president elect. Dr. Neville, has not yet signified his intention to ac cept the position to which he was chosen. Clinton will cordially welcome him. Prcf. Cunningham of Nashville, Tenn., has taken the place vacated by Prof. M. G. Woodworth. anee of thepe mistakes may save us much embarrassment. Life is a perilous path at best and to make the journey safely from the cradle to the grave involves much cir cumspection, and perhaps this may be of help. Date Given For School Contests The death of Mr. D. H. A. Mason, elder of the Shady Grove church, re moves a landmark from the Presbyte rian church work in Laurens county. Mr. Mason was one of the three young men who in 1858 secured the erection and organization of the Shady Grove church. He was elected an elder and has served the church ever since. His burial service on the 11th was held at that church, Rev. W. S. Bean, pas tor, officiating. Addresses were made by Rev. W. P. Jacobs &nd Rev. Mr. Boyd of the Methodist church. Married in the Presbyterian church, November 9, Mr. Waters Ferguson and Miss Annie Copeland. Everybody says it was a beautiful wedding. The bride and groom have many friends and they filled the church to overflow ing. The girls reading contest for the schools of the third district, will be held in Greenwood, and the boys’ dec lamation contest at Ninety-Six, on Friday night, April 8th, at 8 o’clock. In both of these events, the Q|inton high school will be represented^ J. B.

Another way in which to shorten your life is to live fast. There is a spirit of unrest abroad the land. Plenty of hard work would be the best cure for it. Yes, a friend in need is a friend in deed. And we never see some of our friends until they are in need. The death of Mrs. Margaret M. Lit tle in Greenville, was a great distress to her many friends. Her body was brought to Clinton and interred on the Sabbath. Mrs. Little was the wid ow of Mr. Milton Little, formerly a deacon in the Clinton Presbyterian church. Courtesy is the quality that keeps you from telling a man that he is a liar when you know die is one. Another trouble with the country is that the average town hasn’t suf ficient parking space for its automo biles. There are two kinds of weather— the kind that starts and can’t stop and the kind that stops and can’t start. Some women marry in order to have a man to lean on, and some others ap parently marry in order to have one to sit on. That preacher who eloped with a young woman, leaving a wife and nine children, declaring that he was mis understood, is mistaken. The country understands him perfectly and knows where he belongs. A perusal of our legislative calen dars reveals some real jokes. The decision of our dearly beloved physician. Dr. Job J. Boozer, to leave us and spend his ripening days with his daughter in Lauren^, is received with sad hearts by his many Clinton friends. We all pray and trust the change will renew his strength. But we shall miss him sorely. J. Roy Crawford SURVEYOR Tel. 2604 Clinton, S. C. H. D. HENRY F. M. BOLAND H. D.

The death of Mrs. Orra Peake, after a protracted and painful contest with invading disease, wsa a source of deepest but unavailing sorrow to her friends, Her sons, her brothers, her aged father and mother, her other lov ing relatives, all have the deepest sympathy of the whole community. Mrs. Peake was for years past a mem ber of the First Presbyterian church of Clinton. She was buried in its cemetery amid a host of friends who followed her, sorrowing, to the grave. Her’s was the first funeral service held in the new Presbyterian church building, so dedicating it to tears, oven as on other occasions, it has been dedicated to service and to hope. a a a a a ai il 1111' Dr. Frank Crane Says— Another trouble with the country is that there are so many laws and such a limited supply of respect for them. UPHOLDING THE LAW The Chronicle had intended to refer to the work of Recorder Blakely and the police department for January, hot overlooked doing it. So we want to apeak of it right now. The report of the police department for the past month showed 43 cases on the docket with fines imposed by Recorder Blakely amounting to $892.- 50. From the standpoint of violation of city ordinances, this is n bad rec- The fact that 43 arrests were daring the month, shows that is a tendency on the part of many to violate jthe law. On the oth er hdnd, fines aggregating $892.50 dearly that Judge Blakely is ft easf for law-breakers, that he is taking a stand to punish foe to obey the Laws by applying of adequate fines. In position, he is correct. Lawless- i cannot be played with, and the to bring about a respect and ob- of all laws is to mate the sufficiently heavy and sure. In this work, Mr. Blakely is entitled to and encouragement of ev Mad woman in the communi It would help this world a lots, if people would live within their means and without their meanness. We ordinary folks may take comfort from the fact that famous people have seldom been happy. Chancellor Brown of New York uni versity says that college men often fail in life through lack of character, rather than through lack" of ability. There’s something in that, no doubt. Fifty-six college men were seat to the United States penitentiary in Atlanta last year. Federal Jurors For County Drawn R. E. Templeton of Laarens, has been drawn aa a juror for United States Court at Rock Hill, beginning March 8. For the second week, E. P. Minter, Herbert Martin of Laurens, J. M. Pearce of Waterloo and Robert Harris of Owings have been drawn. There will be no grand jury as all bills for the Rock Hill term were passed on by the Greenwood grand jury last week.
