of inflation ideas—a feeling “goods
are more valuable than money.”
But most textile market men look
ed on it as a more normal trend.
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.

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.

New York, Nov. 1.—Worth street
is riding .in unfamiliar surge of cot
ton texIlTe buying—Between 40,0fK>,-
000 and 50.000,000 yards of cloth in
the past two days.
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?

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.
