Aa aha expressed it to George, “He’s a good enough traveling salesman; the only trou ble is he doesn’t travel enough!” Uncle Andrew was somewhat of a drifter. He made a fair living selling, but was always dropping in on one relative or the other. He was a problem to “get on the road” again. He was fortyish and a bachelor. When Uncle Andrew descended on a household; there was little anyone could do but listen to his loud jokes and com ments: Jan set the clothesbasket down with a bang, and eyed the bulldog across the fence. It eyed her. “Ugly brute,” Jan said. Bozo gave a low growl. Jan growled back. As Jan often told George, they had a “growling acquaintance.” | which'Jan wouldn’t admit was half affectionate. They understood each other. Thank goodness. Jan thought. Bozo wasn’t one of those dogs that’s forever underfoot to be petted, though he liked it well enough at times. r Looking at the dbg. Jan had an inspiration. With Jan, to think was to act. She was through the fence in a minute, stopped to pat Bozo while saying disdainfully: “At least. I can growl at YOU without wor rying about hurt feelings!" Mrs. Browning would never be a close friend; but Jan did have a lot of respect for her. “Just like hen dog,” Jan thought unkindly. “They’re both a lot better than they look!? The widow was short and stocky. Her coarse brown hair was frizzed in a permanent, lipstick usually smeared, rouge dabbed on each cheek. Jan asked the widow over for lunch. Flaying the role to the hHt, the told her about Uncle Andrew who was visiting, describing him as eccentric but a rather wealthy salesman, who was always Jolly and* full of fun. While she talked, the couldn’t help thinking how much better the widow would look if she’d do something about the taint line of mustache that had de veloped on her face. Lunch was all that Jan had an ticipated. The widow was dabbed more colorfully with rouge than usual, and hung on Andrew’s every word, roaring with laughter. “Isn’t he a scream?” she asked every few minutes. Lunch over, the widow bluntly stated it was a nice afternoon for a drive, and Jan al most felt sorry for Uncle Andrew as she dragged him away. “What's the idea?” George asked, when they were out the door. Jan laughed. “I don’t think tfnete Andrew will •stay arround too long, with the widow chasing him!” The next few days Jan and George watched from the sidelines. The widow camped on their door step. Uncle Andrew would hardly have time to sit down before the widow' came in and swarmed over him. They didn’t make a bad cou ple. George commented. But Jan couldn’t see Andrew standing for much of the widow, after all the younger girls he dated. The hectic week passed. Saturday morning George drove Jan to the store for groceries, and when they returned. Uncle Andrew was gone. Not only Uncle Andrew, but his clothes. Jan heaved a sigh for relief. “I guess Uncle Andrew’s visit is over for this time,” she said. “I’d have hated having him around for the next three months or so.” "You can say that again," George said. “I guess even Uncle Andrew can’t take our widow. She is over whelming!" “I haven’t seen her today,” Jan said idly, “But I guess she’s shop ping, or visiting some relatives.” Late that evening Jan opened a telegram from Uncle Andrew. “Left for good?” George asked optimistically. “And how,” Jan said, dazed. Limply, she handed George the telegram. George read: “ON HONEYMOON WITH WID OW. TIME I SETTLED DOWN i AND SOLD REAL ESTATE. BACK IN THREE WEEKS. WILL BE YOUR NEW NEIGHBOR. PLEASE FEED DOG—Uncle Andrew.” NEW SUBSCRIBERS HONOR ROLL Have THE CHRONICLE come in y^ur home each week—the cost is small—you will enjoy it.

Phone 119 SOUTH CAROLINA LEADS U. S. IN PRODUCTION OF TEXTILES Colombia.— Although the Slater Mill, built in 1790 at Beverly, Mass., is generally credited as be ing the first cotton mill establish ed in the United States, records in dicate that as early as 1768 cotton manufacturing was going on in the Cheraw settlement. South Carolina. By 1769 people were purchasing cotton goods made in South Caro lina, and by 1T70 there was a move made to stimulate further cotton manufacturing in the state. Writ ing to his son in 1777, Daniel Hey ward made the following state ment: “My manufacturing goes on bravely, but want of cards will put a stop to it because they cannot be got. If they were, there would be the least doubt that we would make 6000 yards of cloth in the year. of cheese cloth, 435 million yards | print cloth, 70 million yards of dia per cloth, and millions of yards of other type of fabrics. ^ Largest Plant Integration has brought plants to bleach, print, finish and fabricate .the cloth. In one plant near Clem- son the complete operation is car ried out under one roof, from bale to the folded sheet for the shelves of stores. This plant is the largest on one floor in the world, with 14! acres of floor space. The growth in fabrication has been especially notable in recent years. Since World War II, more than 100 new garment .plants have been estab lished in South Carolina. Cottin is not the only fiber pro cessed in South Carolina. Syn- ( The year that Samuel Slater thetic fibers of all kinds are used came from England to the United but the industry*, as^ well as asbes-; States mills were already in pro-1 tos, glass and even rabbit hair has duction in South Carolina.

Recent . 1 1 _ t _ _ _ xl 1 M J ! r early as 1795 the South Carolina General Assembly authorized lot teries to aid in the establishment years has also seen the building of woolen and worsted plants making* world famous trademarked fabrics of cotton manufacturing.

DeMiUe’s THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde Universal NEWS dustry started in the Piedmont sec- tion in 1818, one of the first mills being on the present site of the Riverdale Mill, Enoree. William Bates started a mill at Pelham about the same time. In 1828 a mill was built at Pendleton and a short time later one was built at Autun a few miles below Pendleton. In 1847 William Gregg established a mill at Graniteviile which was the largest mill in the Southeast at that time, and which still is an import ant production unit of the Granite- villt Manufacturing Company. 30t Plant* The development of the textile industry in South Carolina since William Gregg’s mill at Granite- ville has been remarkable. Today, South Carolina has more than 300 textile plants with approximately 6,000,000 spindles, which is one- fourth of all the in place spindles in the United States. Since the middle of the 1920’s, South Caro lina has led the nation in total spin dle hours run. These mills con sume 2,246,508 bales of cotton an nually, provide employment for 147,000 people, and have a payroll of approximately $360,000,000. More than $500,000,000 is invested in the textile industry in South Carolina. The value of textile products in the state is more than $1,600,000,000 a yaer. South Carolina has 28 per cent o£ the looms in the United States. Every type of fabric known to man are woven on these looms from flimsy marquisettes to rugs, scrim to broadcloth, tape to wide sheet ing, diaper cloth to duck. The to tal textile production id the state includes such items as eight va rieties of household fabrics in 34 different classifications, 10 varieties of weaving apparel in 64 classifi cations, and 28 kinds of yams, twisting and finishing. In some of these groups the total production is so huge it staggers the imagination. The list includes such products as 538 million yards Although since 1940 one large or ganization has built ten modem textile plants in South Carolina, making 21 mills it has in the state, existing textile plants have been constantly' expanding and carry ing out a modernization program which makes them as efficient as the newest of plants. We may expect the textile indus try in South Carolina to grow, to operate prosperiously, to bring new and more jobs to boost the econo my of the people. Kelly Receives Promotion To Captain Ernest M.

' 23,000 Daft Call Is6 Issued Washington, June 8.—The Army today issued a draft call for 23,000 men in August. This is the same number as was asked for July. It brings to 1,492,- 430 the total number of men drafted or earmarked for induction since selective service was resumed in September, 1950. The draft calls of the last two months are less than half the av erage monthly draft for the ear lier part of this year and the last three months of 1952. The drops reflect plans of the isenhower administration to trim back the size of the army.
