CLINTON, S. C^ tHUBSPAY. SEPTEMBER 19, 1985
TREY CANT BE TRUSTED lor get out, th^ public is liOt informed.
Since there is so much agiUtion Why ao heartleaa an ultimatum was
given is not explained. The public
now favoring the government entering
the power business (as well as almost
every other kind of hosiness) these
figures are interesting and convincing,,
In 1913 the cost of government—
federal, state and local—was less than
18,000,000,000. 1931 it was 115,600,-
000,000-^a gain of 431 per cent.
In 1913 the coat of dorpeatic elec
tricity averaged 8.7 cents per kilowatt
hpur. In 1934 it was 5.3 cents—^a re
duction of 39 per cent. <
The same politicians who were re
sponsible for quadrupling the cost of
government in a generation, are rK>w
lamenting the “high cost*’ of electri
city—which when the truth is known,
anjounts to only one or two per cent
of the average family budget—and are
clamoring^ for the taxpayers to let
them'show the country how to run the
power industry.' , ■
This is a timely que.‘ttion to ask—
would the politicians who ran the cost
of government up over 400 per cent
in 20 yeai's be good nrvanagers to re
duce the cost of electricity, or any
thing else? '
wonders why? ~ • '*
Well, while we are ready to admit
that LauBpnb> if # good town and haa
many excellent people, we can’t re
frain from expressing the belief that
the proposed rental was excessive.
Somebody i^going to be up for prof
iteering hret thing you know and re
ported to either Mr. Roosevelt, Mr.
Harry Hopkins, Mr. Ickes or big boss
James Farley.
But upon further reading we learn
that after several conferences were
held, the order was rescinded (the rea
son for the action is not given) and
that peace again hovers over the court
house. It’s satisfying to the people
of the county to know that following
such a- spasmodic and unexpected
eruption, quiet soon ca|ne, the peace^
pipe was'smoked, and^the lamb and
lion lay down togetJier.
And from the account, further il
luminating ihformation is gathered.
It is stated that after the rescinding
agreement had been reached—after
the delegation had marched up the hill
and back down again-^he terms
agreed upon stated that Mr. Cannon
Could keep his office at its' present lo
cation and that the city of Laurens

There are thousand.s of citizens in
the county who are gTad to learn that
peace lias been .made and thaFevery-
body is now happy. We hope that the
business mm of Laurens will see to it
that Mr. Cannon is allowed to retain
his office and Laurens residence to
carry on the helpful and efficient vyork
he is doing to promote the county’s

the last baseball game of the flat

local diambnt at the scboll house last
satturday betwixt the 2 leaders,

YOUN(; PEOPLE IN COLLEGE
Frem all over the country come re
ports that the colleges and universi-
tie.s are crowded with students for the
new year’s work just getting started.
In this state it is repoited that en
rollment is high in all the colleges,
both state and denominational, v^ith
substantial gains in freshman classes
and with many previous matriculation
records broken. - 1
It has become, we might say, the
stylish and proivcr thing to go to col
lege, though ^ucators who should
know tell us that a large percentage
of the young men and women now en
rolled in our institutions are a mis-fit
and have., no business th&re.
Many wonls 'of advice are alwajHP
said to these studeniiS but much of it
falls on deaf ears and fails to make
even a slight impression. However,
whether the advice they are given in
college,does good or not, the undisput
ed fact remains that the world wantfi.
and needs trained intelligence now,'
and that never before has it placed so
much emphasis on efficiency as at the
present time. While our young people
are acquiring knowledge, they would
better not forget the lessons taught
them in their quiet .home circles at
their mothers knees. It well tp re
member that the world is not con
quered primarily by learnipg, but by
the spirit of service, by initiative and
fidelity to duty and id<^8.
Chronicle advised him now that we
will assume the responsibility and se
cure free office space for him in Clin
ton where he will bfe welcomed by
those who know of and appreciate his
services for the farmers.
