.NONSENSE TALK
With the legislature convening next
week, Governor Johnston is expected
to again jump into the limelight by
renewing his poliCical fight -with
which- he \ hopes to l)ecome .the big
“boss” of the highway departi^nt. In
agitating the ailM)lition of the p^sent
cammission (which has given\the
state an excellent system of highways
at a minimum cost) the nansen^e ttnk
will again be heard that'such i actio'
is a “mandate” from the people, wh
he constantly proclaims, elected hi
to gel rid “ of the cornniission whic'
be styles as a “ring” and restore it t
poration when Mr. \yright resigne<l
to accept the 'presidency i)f Watts'
.Mills at Laurens. Four years later, in
1921. the mill was sold to the Harts
horn intere in New York, its name
being Chang 1 to that of Joanna Cot
ton Mills il' honor of the late Mrs.,

manager by the lu w owners and has

a small iH'gmning when^he'went to
Goldville, Mr. Moorhead has seen the
mill amj village grow and develop
into one of the jnost modern and at
tractive in the South.
During theJue twenty-nine years of
service Mr. Mobrhead has made him
