The avreage IQ was 97, which

THE WORLDS MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL CUIDE
Will ye also go away? (John 6:67). Road John 6:66-71
When the crowds turned 1 their backs on Jesus, He turned to His
disciples, His friends, and asked them, “Will ye also go awa^?”
The fortune of Christianity in any generation depends upon the
friends of Christ. Demands are heavy. The crowd turns its back.
What about us. His disciples? We call Him Teacher, the most excel
lent teacher of all tube. Do we try to follow His teachings in word
and deed and spirit? 1
We call Him Master, one to whom we'subordinate all desires and
ambitions. Judas Iscariot said, “Master,” and betrayed Him. Still
another asked, “Mast#S:r, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” He
turned His back upon Jesus when told the cost of eternal life... Is
Christ our Master indeed.
We call Him King. Another said the same thing in his day. Pi
late wrote on the cross, “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.” But
this name Pilate condemned Jesus to crucifixion... We call Him
“Kng,” but do we let Him have sovereignty over our lives?
i PRAYER ~
O God, pardon our tins. Increase our faith. Implant
Thy spirit within our hearts. Give us courage. Grant
us the will to make Christ Teacher, Master, and King of
our lives. Help us as we pray, “Our J ather who art in
Heaven . v viAmen.” A
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
God does not rule over our actions unless we give allegiance to
Him in our hearts. j '

Milam is in Favor of New
Academy Street School
*
Contrary to rumors being circulated, Charles L. Milam has been and
is in favor of building a new school to replace the present Academy Street
* I ‘ *
School in Clinton at the earliest possible date.
The school which is planned will cost an estimated $360,000, which
is more than Laurens County has to its credit with the State Educational
Financial Commission for building purposes. n
However, Milam is in favor of borrowing the balance necessary in or
der that construction may get underway at the earliest possible date and
will endorse such a move if and when made by the trustees. This authori
zation can be given without increasing the tax levy, because under the law
the State Educational Finance Commission can approve applications for
funds to pay principal and interest on the indebtedness. #
Academy Street School is not only in bad condition, but is a dangerous
fire hazard. /
CHARLES L. MILAM WILL DO ALL HE
CAN TO BUILD A NEW ACADEMY
STREET SCHOOL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
primary importance,” Mr. Collins
stated. . —
In summing up, Mr. Collins
said: "Alcoholism could happen
to anyone who ever takes a drink
of alcohoL There is no valid way
to foretell which drinker will be
come alcoholic and which will
not The only sure way we know
is a very simple way: don’t ever
take the first drink.”

District cooperators have al
ready placed orders for 590,000
pine tree seedlings for planting
next season, through the local
work unit office of the Soil Con
servation service. This is suffic
ient number of seedhngs to plant-
59 Oacres. There are many times
this number af acres in the coun
ty, if put to the best use, should
go to pine trees. Many farmers
are using their cost sharing pay
ments through the local ASC of
fice to help pay the cost of plant
ing. This payment Is $7.00 per
thousand trees planted, up to the
soil building allowance for the
farm. Any farmer in the coun
ty is eligible to order these seed
lings at a cost of $3.50 per thous
and. Assistance in ordering them
may be received from the Soil
Conservation service , Extension
service, Forest service officials
and vocational agriculture teach
ers. Landowners desiring these
trees are urged to submit their
orders prior to July 1. The South
Carolina State Commission of
Forestry will bill each fanner for
the trees allotted to him.

Laurens County Delegation
Unanimously Approved Funds
For West Carolina Avenue
1 have been FALSELY charged as SECRETLY providing funds for
widening West Carolina Avenue in Clinton.
WHAT ARE THE FACTS?
During early 1954 about 20 citizens from Clinton appeared before
Laurens County Delegation, all members present, requesting that West
Carolina Avenue be widened by the State Highway Department.
‘ The Town of Clinton would have to secure and pay for rights of way
if the Highway Department and Town of Clinton thought additional rights
of way needed for proper construction of West Carolina Avenue.
The State Highway Department thought it necessary as a measure
of safety that the tanks of H. D. Payne & Company be moved from West
Carolina Avenue; that bids for moving tanks and equipment were received
by the Highway Department. The Laurens County Delegation absolutely
refused to allocate the amount of low bid as received by Highway Depart
ment for this right-of-way.
J
The Laurens County Delegation refused to allocate $7,000.00 unless
requested by State Highway Department and Town of Clinton and unless
the Highway Department stated that such would be a wise investment.
The State Highway Department stated that the sum of $7,000.00 was
necessary and needed. The County Delegation UNANIMOUSLY agreed
to allocate the additional 37,000.00 needed and requested by the High
way Department and delegation of citizens from Clinton. The County
Delegation thought it a wibe thing to do for the Town of Clinton in that
the Delegation had helped the City of Laurens for rights-of-way in the
amount of $7,000.00.
, Any funds allocated were for Clinton and not for H. D. Payne & Com
pany, since Town of Clinton was bound to pay for rights-of-way if street
widened, AND SAID AMOUNT WAS APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY BY
DELEGATION CONSISTING OF MYSELF AND THREE HOUSE
MEMBERS.
After reading the above facts, I believe the people of Laurens County
wiB conclude that I did nothing secretly to favor anyone. •
