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.

items showing the activities of the
automobile industry during 192G, fig

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.

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”?

Clinton college opened on the 23rd

students than heretofore. All of the
friends of the institution are pleased
to know that there is a brighter out-

Life is a perilous path at best and

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^

Some of us are beginning to sus
pect that one trouble with the children
of today is that they are dissatisfied
with their parents.
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.

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.

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

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

It would help this world a lots, if

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.
