Creamed potatoes may then be poured into a buttered, shallow dish and browned a few moments in the oven or, carefully, in the broiler. Or they may be poured into a dish and sprinkled with buttered bread crumbs and grated cheese and then baked un til they are brown. M:nced parsley may also be sprinkled over creamed potatoes to add to their taste and ap pearance. Various sorts of fried potatoes are tempting at this time of year. You an French fry raw potatoes, or pan fry boiled potatoes. Y<ou can miUce latticed potatoes or German shoe strings—that is, finely cut raw pota toes cooked like French fried. You can fry boiled potatoes in thin slices with a little onion, and thus make a sort of Lyonnaise potato. . The point is, if the old potatoes are not now very good and the new potatoes are still expensive, to cook he rAd ones in a way to bring out their'best points and minimize their worst ones. RELIEF FRO.M GURSE OF CONSTIPATIO.V tionally, Clinton has advanced, Clin ton’s cotton mills have been enlarg ed, a silk mill has been built, new business has come to stay. Our insti tutions have grown and their material (quipmenl has been rounded out re markably. A TheW and* beautiful resi dential section is developing—people come, see, and build homes here. All signs are pointing ahead to brighter days. Our growth has been conservative, but it is the lasting kind i state will have to have good roads, cf growth baaed on hT)me»bullding, lo cal investments, and confidence in the future of the town. Such growth is the fruit of confidence—-but it is also the root to a new and greater confi dence. Tht' past ten years is a sam- and progres-sive movement.s; then it fails in its major and only function. However, there is no u.se worrying about difficulties until one gets to tKem7-^nhe~‘oI(r'3aylng bjii»Tt7*^po8^ session is nine points of the law”; and in just the same way accomplishment is nine points of the law. As long as bonds may be sold and delivered in spite of the protestors — as long as roads may be built in spite of them— then there is little need to pay any attention to them. Let the lawyers worry about whether the thing is' le gal or not. What the people of South Carolina are worrying about is wheth er or not there art* going to be any new roads. ^ l.,aw or no law, sooner or later, this Arguments may delay the ma.ter and conatitutiona or laws may hinder— but sooner or later the roads will have to be 'built.

Now that the first steps have 'l)een completed, the have passed. scene is laid for a splendid drama of continued prosperity and increased de velopment. . . “Clinton—Wide-Awake’’ is not an empty b.*asl. Figures that may be printtnl in black and white—official and authentic figures—cannot be de nied. If Clinton has grown, it can con tinue to grow. If it has prospered, it can continue to prosper. Now is the time for Clinton to be wide-awake. Now is the time for every citizen of the town to open his eyes wider to opportunities for advancement. Now is the time to plan and work for the next ten years. Let us not look at the growth of the town as a goal, that has been reached, but as a starting point from which we may work with renewed energy toward a higher and worthier goal. The future is bright. IODINE THE ROAD QUESTION AGAIN At last something has been done. Ten million dollars worth of state road bonds have been sold and deliv ered. The money has been deposited. The State very wisely printed, in last Friday’s issue, a facsimile of the de- p'sit slip—something to prove that the thing had actually been accom- pli.ohed. South Garolina’s iodine-imp^gnated sdtT'is begfnninjf to'fHfact nUice. It' may be that the 1930 license tags had something to do with it. Anyway, a nationally known .soup company has decided to make iodine soup for the nation’s consumption. An arrange ment was completetd last week where by the Campbell Soup company, of New Jersey, would take over some thing like ten million tomato plants froip farmers of Bamberg county. The plants will flourish in their iodine- fields for a short time and then jour ney to New Jersey where they will receive their college education and be made into soup. This action is one step, so we learn, in a general campaign for crop diver sification in Bamberg county. Farm ers are planning to grow asparagus, cucumbers, beans, peas, and other crops before cotton time comes around. With the iodine element to assist in the sale of these products, the project should be a success. In deed, this idea might very well be ap plied to other sections of the iodine country.. Planters w^ are having a hard time with their wtton ought find it very well wprth while to try some of these other products between times. Perhaps this action on the part of the soup company is an indication that South Carolina has real possi bilities in the realm of truck farming. It may be that Bamberg county’s ex periment may prove so profitable that the whole section will drop other pur suits of the season and join in. At any rate, it will be a good policy to when i Jung the bell to his offis, a pretty girl come runnnig out to meet me ani i sed to my self, “say—won der if she is the tooth dentist insted of a man.’’ i would not mind a woman gouging a round in my mouth with her arms around my nake; but it hurts for a man to do that, i soon got dis appointed a.s the regular dentist showed up in his shirt tail.
