They said purchasers had held off too long; that they were starting to do business from empty wagons. There was heavy buying of textile goods from late July until mid-Sep tember. Since then the market has been quiet. Clinton's Children's Library -1 WITH THE PRESS ^ Former Slave Is Oldest Member of Carolina Church Clio, Oct. 31.—A 105-year-old for mer slave was honored by a white congregation yesterday as the oldest living member of Carolina Presbyte rian church. A centennial audience of over 500 paid tribute to Lucy Mclnnis Camp bell, who had joined the century-old country church in the days when Ne groes attended services with their slavemasters. “Aunt” Lucy was brought to the day-long anniversary program from her home near Fayetteville, N. C. She was once a slave of the Mclnnis fam ily. a leading clan in this commu nity. ‘ They tell me I'm 100 years old and then five years more,” the aged woman said. "I can remember the slavery time and the war.” She sat quietly, the only Negro present, patting her hands together to the rhythm of the hymns; and hearing three sermons by guest min isters. Honored as the oldest living white member present was Mrs. Annie Jane McDaniel, 84, of High Point, N. C. Mrs. McDaniel is the former Miss Annie Jane McLaurin.

That’s a lot of cotton cloth. It’s more than many single mills could produce in a year. It’s enough to keep a number of large mills busy into next February. The buying" wave rolled into the cotton textile market despite an un dercurrent of such discouraging news as lower department store sales and the coal and steel strikes. And there were almost as many reasons given for the sudden buy ing as there are textile houses on Worth street, world center of the trade. One large dealer, who said he was a little puzzled by the broad inter est, added it could be a resurgence Chief Highway Commissioner C. R. McMillan is calling for another in crease in the state’s already burden some gasoline tax. He says unless highway revenues are increased, ‘‘I can’t forsee anything but getting fur ther and further behind.” Here again is the impression that the way to balance a budget is to raise taxes, instead of to reduce ex penses. The state highway depart ment has been taking into its system more and more byways, and city streets not much bigger than alleys. The state paving program has be come a “see-what-I-got-for-you.” Members of the legislature are al lowed to announce that Such and such Alley will be hard-surfaced, with all the fanfare that once ac companied announcement by con gressmen of WPA projects. The state highway department should be responsible only for arter ial streets and highways. It may be smart politics, but it is not smart ad ministration, for the department to saddle itself with back roads and streets throughout the state. It is physically possible to pave every foot of road, street and drive way in South Carolina. But not with out raising the gasoline tax. Most residents of the state, we believe, would rather keep the tax at the present level, or reduce it, than to have the highway department take over paving all the towns and cities. Present revenues are adequate to maintain and improve the highways —even to build new bridges and super highways. Should the name of the highway department be changed to the high way, back alleys, lovers’ lane and yju-run-a-bulldozer-through a field and we'll pave it department? ~ The News and Courier. A few years ago it was very much a case of “the forgotten child” as far as our library facilities were concerned. A few shelves of books with no place to call their own in an otherwise modern library to of fer our children. Such is not the case today. Since Florida Street school P. T. A. adop ted this most worthwhile project, Clinton can boast of a very good small children’s library. Located on the second floor of the Clinton library in a large bright room is the children’s library. This room is lined with book shelves containing some one thousand volumes care fully selected in accordance with the needs of the different ages of the children. The room has re cently been redecorated, the walls freshly painted, two beautiful Aubu- bon prints hung, new shelves have been added and potted plants adorn the windows. Clinton has every~rfcason to be proud of the children’s library. We are indeed grateful to those indi viduals who had vision enough to foresee its untold value to the com munity. —Mrs. H. L.
