Annual Event for Benefit of Ep*

Next Saturday.
Columbia, Sept. l.M — It hM long
been the custom for the .Methodists of
South Carolina to ob.serve an annual
“Work Day" for Epworth orphanage,
the idea being for every Methodist to
give his earnings of that one day to
carry on the work of caring for and
training a large family of 320 orphans}
at Epworth orphanage.
This year the day has been .set for'
Saturday, Septeml>er 19, (die offering!

The 294 pastors and 727 superin
tendents of Sunday schools have made
their plnns for observing the day j
throughout the state. .Many of the |
larger Sunday schools have arranged j
a contest between the different de-1
partments in the matter of giving to I
the work day fund. In many of the'
rural districts some good men in these j
communities who have a great deal of
cotton to pick have offered to furnish ^
transfiortation and pay an in; rease(l j'
price for picking fi.r all who will give
their earnings of the day to the or-
jihanage. In fact, thou.>iand.s of thi
children of the church will find some

P. S. JEANES
FORI)
Improvements in the model A an*
to he followed, if rumor is correct,
with a new tyjH* of Ford car in the
spring. I know no more about it than
anyone else does, hut my guess is that
the new Ford, when it comes out, will
be as surprising as was the present
model
Henry Ford has always been a pio-
He was the first automobile
manufaixturer to put the ste<*ring
wheel on the left, where it belongs,
and all the others had to follow suit.
He was the first to detect the flaw in
the Selden patent, on which all the
other makers paid royalties for years,
h'oril refused to pay tribute, fought
the case to the highest courts, and
won a victory for the whole industry.
He was the first to reduce the daily
hours of labor in his factory from nine
to eight, the first to establish a mini
mum wage of $5 a day for the lowR-
est worker, the first to use modern al
loys for strength and lightness, and
I to build engines to such accuracy that
no “block test’’ was required.
Ford can do tho.se things because
he ha.s no board of directors to tell
him what he can’t do, no stockhold
ers clamoring for dividends at the ex
pense of the product. The greatest
achievements have always been, al-
w'ays will be, hy men working single
-handed.
We want you to know that Clinton is every
thing a “good town” should be. Its growth has
been phenomenal during the past ten years, the
latest census report showing am increase in pop
ulation of 50 per cent. As am educational amd re
ligious center it is favorably known fau* amd
wide as the home of Presbyteriam College.
We have been looking forward to your com
ing — we wamt you to know that you au'e^sur-
rounded by a wonderful good fellowship.
