C, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1935 MAKING NO HEADWAY Congress .has been in session for three months. A prominent radio speaker the other night stated that this body is now at the cross-road?, unsettled, confused and ineffective. It has not enacted a single piece of ma jor legislation confronting it. Bringing the accusation closer liome, what about our own general assentbly in session since early in jFi»hmary? It. Hah APPompliahed. little^ and apparently, doesn’t know where it icrheaded. The people are now think ing that it would do jwell to adjourn and go home. A DIFFICULT JOB Business is being told to give em ployment as rapidly as possible to the unemployed in order to relieve the government of the heavy relief load it is how carrying. But business can’t do it — unstabi- lited condiitons do not warrant addi tional overhe^ arid make it impos sible to take up the slack. Policies and experiments now emanating from con gress are calculated in many instances —to curb, rather than stimulate and de velops private enterprise. How may heavily-taxed business be expected to expand or compete with a tax-free government now competing with it on large scales in all lines? The American'Legion innior Base ball league passed the second week with Clinton defeating ycioldville Goldville onrFriday afte|*noon by cl^ ^ot)e of 3 to 2. Abrams, Clkfton pitcher^ was in mid-season fppnti, fan ning twelve and allowing only thi^e hits, while getting three hits out of four trips to the plate himself. Snel- grove got two hits, while-the rest of the team finished out, a dotal of eight jhits. I Clinton Mill defeated Lydia Satux'- jday morning in a thrilling ten-inning 'jgame^full of errors, bases on balls, jand base-hits. Lanford, Kirby, and IHarris stood out for ^ Lydia, while >»■ I Trammel. Cranford and'Hunt did best slaughter- for Clinton Mill. This week Clinton meets Clinton Mill at Mill park on Friday after noon, and Lydin and Goldville cross bats on Saturday morning. * The boys are scrapping hard for a place on the team that will represent the Clinton post and hre asking the interset and attendance of the public.

The fatality total last year was around 36,000—- the injur^ total,near the million mark. ' The automobile accident problem has reached a crucial stage. It has b^ome alarming.

This practice has In’cn followed for years and will continue to go on. The general assembly is dominated by law- 37^*, many of whohlTuse their offTce to land bettor job.s for themselves.

Less than tep per cent of motorists take chances, a nation report showns—but that* ten per cent menace us all. What are we going to do about it, thousands, are asking? The public must help answer the question by be coming aroused and putting into ef fect a real safety campaign. The reckless, the drunken must be driven from the highways. If we are to achieve this the force of public opin ion can be even more useful than law. No matter how good "a state’s traffic law is, or how efficient and conscien tious a highway patrol is, it cannot produce results if the public is in different^, Baniah'Vthe drunken, the reckless, the incompetent driver. It may save your life, or the lives of loved ones. Our record is horrible, destroying as it does, life, health and property. POWER CONTRACT CHANGES The ciy’s new power contract, signed with the Clinton' and’ Lydia Cotton Mills last December to furnish current through their new industrial plant, became effective as of April fir.st. Ajt the same time the previously existing contract with the Duke Power c'iompany was terminated and. this con cern notified that Jts services were no longer de.sired. The new contract is said to be drawn along the same lines as that of the Duke contract and to protect the city’s interests as to the At GoldvMe “Cicero Steps Out,’’ a clever mu sical comedy, will be presented in the new Joanna school building at Gold ville Friday night,' April 6, at 8 o'clock under the auspices of the Joanna Girls club, headed by Mrs. Beatrice Sloan.

The question of a city’s power sup ply is one of extreme importance, af fecting as it does its future develop ment in a large way, both commer cially and industrially. No new manu facturing plant or enterprise'of any kind is going to locate where there is not available an unlimited supply of power at rates that are in line with other communities. 'The prime factors in connection with electric power from the stahdpoint of the consumer, are: adequate supply, uninterrupted ser vice and prohtable rates.

W'e noted in ope of the state’s pa pers the other day that a small cotton mill in that community had been put on the block to be sold for taxes, but that not a bid on the property was obtained. ' Where was Mr. Gorman? He should have been on the spot to buy the property and give the country a prac tical demonstration of how he would run a cotton mill ^ rather than sperttf his time telling the government how they should be operated.

Quite a Targe-number of letters were received during the contest, sev eral states being represented in the competition. It was a vai^ difficult task to select the best letters from the nearly two hundred submitted The final decision was made for The Chronicle by an able and experienced newspaper man_ from another town, unacquainted with the contestants. Reading the letters and studying them from different ahgles was quite interesting. For the sentiment and commendation expressed by our read ers we are grateful.‘Those of us en- gaged in producing "The Chronicle will be spurred on by tlfese words of en couragement and will strive all the harder to serve our large family of readers. It will be our continued de- v-^'^'lermingtion »to produce for you the very ^st newspaper possible in a town the size of ours. REACHING A CRUCIAL STAGE R’f avWul—the startling increase in automobile accidents.

One is to Miafww Ust the Ameri- hectibn factors to^-the consumer Sre not only assured, but guaranteed. The Chronicle gave its endorsement and assistance in bringing the Duke Power company into Clinton ten years ago. The city at that time was suffer ing and badly handicapped by an ex cessive flat rate, and an inadequate, inefficient power supply through its m\micipally-owned and operated steam plant. The service^ren^red by the 'Duke interests during this ten-year period has been excellent,- in fact, al most perfect. We have had a depend able service 365 days in the year£with interruptions a rare thing. T^e Chron icle knows whereof it speaks, for while we are not one of the city’s largest cbhsiijimers of power, we are one of its most-'Constant users, and know what conditions have been in bur plant. Furthermore, the Duke con nection has made possible local manufacturing^ates thaW compare favorably with any in the state, light ing rates jtlmt with one or two excep tions, are as low as any community offers. The Chronicle, along with many oth ers, regrets the exit from our commu nity of the Duke Power company. A connection with a great hydro-electric power^company of its kind is an asset of inestimable value, and can only make for future growth and develop ment. The city will always be indebted to the Duke company for the ex cellent service it/has rendered, and the pleasant business relations that have existed during the years they have served Clinton. ^ Sedan Delivery, $515 107 Whcelbose Half-Ton Pick-Up. $^65 112 Wh.-f'lbos VALVE-IN-HEAD SIX-CYilNDER ENGINES The tnoat importaat consideration of all, in buying and operating thicks, is economy.
