C., a city of 5,000 population. Its location' on the main state highway between Char leston and Greenville; on the Atlan tic Coast Line Railway between Char leston and Greenville; and on the main line of the Seaboard Air Line Railway between Washington, D. C., and Birmingham, make it readily ac cessible from all directions to students living in South Carolina and Georgia. • The immediate surroundings afford the advantages of both country and city life. Clinton is near enough to Columbia, the capital, for auto bus connections. Expenses I The total expense for each student during the nine months’ session, in cluding incidentals, medical and hos- j pital fees, room rent, board, light, wa-1 ter, heat, laboratory fees, laundry, books, and student activities, range from $425 to approximately $450, ac cording to the type of room occupied. Abundant, wholesome food is served in the college refectory at what it actually co^ts the students, no profit being made on this department. The College plant provides adequate fa cilities for 300 students and enroll ment will be confined to this total un til the plant is enlarged. - College Spirit The College is frankly Christian in its life and ideals. It is a democracy in which each student counts for all he is worth. Students are selected as far as pos sible from among the morally and in tellectually superior graduates of the standard high schools and preparatory schools. In 1926, a Presbyterian college man was chosen as the Rhodes scholar for the state.

The faculty of the College ia composed of men of ripe scholarship and teaching experience. Each class is taught by a full pro fessor. Student Life In a college for men where the great majority of students live on the campus, it is natural for the student life to center about the dormitories, dining hall, and gymnasium. Dormitory life is comfortable and attractive. An average of one dor mitory room is available for each student living on the campus. Sepa rate shower baths and lavatory facili ties are within easy access of each unit of eight students in the dormi tories.

The magazine is read by some 1,500,000 poultry producers in the United States and Canada. The magazine says, “It wasn’t luck that caused Workman and Dickson, Clinton, S. C., to make an average profit of 22 cents a dozen eggs last year. They fed Purina to cut the cost to 14 cents. They fed Purina to get eggs when prices were at their peak. The average selling price was 36 cents, leaving a profit of 22 cents. That’s not luck, that’s management.’’ The Purina Poultryman contains ar ticles about the most successful poul try producers in America. It also con tains timely advice about feeding and caring for the flock. It is considered a mark of real distinction among poul try men to be given mention by this magazine which has a national circu lation and which is edited by men who are leaders in poultry production cir cles.

BUCHANAN’S UUNDRY PHONE 29 mu The Clinton Chronicle^$1.50 ‘An Indutitry Prospert—So Prosper The People Cotton Mill Earnings—Who Gets Them? T HE tremendous importance of the cotton manufacturing industry to South Carolina is unquestioned. Here is an industry which furnishes ^ direct support to a fifth of the state’s white population, and indirect support to many more of her citizens; an industry whose finished products are w'orth three times the cotton crop and almost twice as much as all the crops her farmers grow. Such an industry must exer cise a profound influence on the economic and social life of any commonwealth in which it exists. • What then of the thousands of men and women w’hose investments make that industry possible? Are they receiving the profits which the importance of their industry would seem to warrant? The plain truth is that cotton manufacture is not the profitable enterprise that some believe it to be. Earnings are dependent to a large extent on conditions-beyond the control of the managment or stockholders, and are not in keeping with the risk involved. Violent fluctuations in cotton prices, unstable markets for cloth, frequent style changes, and economic depressions ail operate to make profits uncertain and manage- ’ ment difficult. * Net returns on actual invested capital in South Carolina mills during the past two years have averaged little more than 5 per cent. In tl »• some recent years there were no profits, and if the abnormal war period were disregarded, the average for the history of the industry in this state would probably not exceed 4 per cent. - V Earnings in almost every other leading industry have far exceeded those of textiles. Even railroads, long regarded as the [nvalids of American business, have fared better than the textile industry. While the securities of most other industries have enjoyed a steady, and in many cases remarkable increase in value duririg the past five years, those of textiles have with rare exceptions, either remained stationary or suffered a decline. — Despite their low earnings, the cotton manufacturers of South Carolina have persistently endeavored to better the living conditions of those who helped to make their industry possible. Data collected by impartial fact-finding bodies indicate that the weekly pay check of the average operative in South Carolina is today more than twice as large as in the pre-war period. Moreover, the houses, the schools, the churches, the recreational facilities and the prbvisions for insuring health have all been greatly improved; improved at a cost of millions of dollars to stockholders. , In many instances, cotton mills have operated at actual losses for the purpose of furnishing employment to their operatives. Truly, it may be said that by far the larger portion of cotton mill earnings has gone to operatives, and not to stockholders. , j— —— , ■ Cotton Manufacturers Association ^ SOUTH Carolina .
