JV's Rip Wm
Win Over lounens
ball team scored a decisive 2ft-8
Clinton High School’s JV foot-
victory over arch-rival Laurens
Thursday night in Clinton.
The junior varsity looked real
good on both defetue emd offense
as they took the season’s opener.
The defense, spearheaded by Neil
Hall, played real well as they
allowed Laurens their only points
in the Clinton-Laurens series for
the past two years. Clinton won
last year in a run-away, 54-0.
This time the offense went ber
serk behind the running of soph
omore halfback Mike Sanders.
Sanders scored three times and
played well on defense. Gary
Laney, quarterback, scored both
extra points on runs.
With, about SO seconds on the
scoreboard clock, Laney uncork
ed a long TD pass to Roy Haup-
fher. The PAT failed.
. The Presbyterian College an
nual giving program has now
reached $31,300 Alumni and Pub
lic Relations Director Ben Hay
Hammet announced today.
He said this total has been
contributed by 700 donors as the
college points for a $75,000 ob
jective for this program in 1063.
Hammet pointed out that an
increase of $4,000 in the „ past
two weeks has put the annual
giving effort 30 percent ahead of
the 1962 pace at this time. Funds
directed to this program are
used mainly to help meet current
operating expenses, as distin
guished from capital gifts f<
the long-range development i
Presbyterian College.
Of the $31,300 given thus far
by alumni and friends of PC,
$21,300 has been sent to the Liv
ing Endowment phase of the pro-
gram and $10,000 directly to the
Walter Johnson Club. Since $3,000
of the Living Endowment figure
has been designated for the John
son Club, the current total for
this alumni athletic organization
now stands at $13,000.

R. S. Small Saya:
Cotton Markets
Lost Because Of
Two-Price System
“Price of cotton has got to go
lower,” a leading textile execu
tive said here Tuesday nighLj per cent.
Robert S. Small, president of
Woodside Mills in Greenville,
speaking to a group of extension
agents, said markets have been
lost while “we dally with the
problem of our two-priced cotton
system.”
He spoke at a dinner at Hotel
Mary Musgrove sponsored by Jo
anna Cotton Mills.
On Wednesday, members of the
group were guests at a barbecue
sponsored by Clinton - Lydia
Mills, held at a recreation area
on the Thornwell Orphanage
campus.
In the morning the group tour
ed a section of the Joanna plant,
ami in the afternoon a tour of
Lydia Mills was made. They
went on to the Carlisle Finishing
Co. at Carlisle.
On Thursday, a tour will be
made of the Adams plant of
Greenwood Mills at Ninety-Six
and the Chemstrand nylon plant
near Greenwood.
Robert M. Vance, president of
Clinton-Lydia Mills, spoke to the
group on Wednesday. James C.
Self, Jr., will address the assem
bly on Thursday.
The tour is sponsored by the
areas’ textile industries, the
Amercian Textile Manufacturers
Institute, Inc., and the Clemson
College Extension Service.
In his talk, Mr. Small said of
over 14 million bales produced a
year, domestic mills are consum
ing approximately eight million
bales.
The government does not seem
to be encouraging greater con
sumption df our domestic cotton
by our cotton mills, but by the
present import agreement seems
to be systematically liquidating
part of the American textile in
dustry, Small said.
“Rather than limit or control
the amount of imports, political
ly expedient countries like Yugo
slavia, India and the Ryuku Is
lands have shown increases this
year ranging from 103 to 1,500
He said if this percentage was
spread over the 64 categories of
textile products the United States
could absorb its share of this
burden. But instead, he said, ap
proximately five of the country’s
most vital categories account for
more than 70 per cent of total im
port.
The trend to convert to synthet
ic fibers, forced on the textile in
dustry out of necessity, is going
to be hard to stem, and almost
impossible to reverse Small
“Cotton cannot be merchandis
ed or subsidised at its present
price level. And effective import
controls have to be immediately
implemented in order to save the
American cotton farmer and the
American textile worker,” the
executive contended.
Dr. Robert C. Edwards, presi
dent of Clemson College, told
the agents, “It is not practical
ot assume a cotton farmer can
stay in business unless he can
be competitive.
“We have no reason to let our
selves feel we have to give up
top production to other parts of
the nation ... the cotton farmer
is competing on on international
level,” Dr. Edwards said.
He stressed the increasing need
for research and cited Clemson’s
efforts in agricultural and textile
education.

lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Acts
15:25-M) •
Though these words of our text refer specifically to Barnabas
and Paul, they aptly describe the apostles who were in the upper
room on the day of Pentecost. From then onward, they gave them-
selves utterly to Christ. He used them to confront the pagan world
with His gospel. They did this, though the price of obedience to
their Master was costly.
The key to having a great Christian faith is found in the Book
ofthe Acts, stakes waiting and knging for thsHoly Spirit, and! Garner,’ UikT Walter’,

being endued with His power to continue the work Jesus began.
Other requirements are supremely loving Christ, loving one an
other, and having great faith. Discipleship demands boldly obey
ing his Word and seeking to do His Will wholeheartedly.
The discipleship of the apostles meant giving their lives entire
ly to Christ. This same spirit has been evident in Christ’s follow
ers in every age and generation.
PRAYEB
Dear God, we thank Thee for Jesus, for the powerful
beginning of His church, and for the Christian church
of today. Help ns to be faithful in our discipleship, liv
ing according to Christ’s teachings and example. la
His name we pray. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Discipleship requires that we forget self and put Christ and His
kingdom first.

Watershed Dam
Contract Is Let
A contract has been awarded
by the Duncan Creek Watershed
Conservation District for the con
struction of a 33 foot high earthen
floodwater retarding dam, the
first of six proposed in the Dun
can Creek Watershed.
Hunter Brothers Construction
Company of Route 2, Gray Court,
won the construction contact with
a low bid of $41,671.15. There
were nine contractors submitting
bids on the project.
Bids were opened Monday, Sep
tember 23 at the Friendship
Room, Laurens Federal Savings
and Loan Building in Laurens
and the award was made by Con
tracting Officer C. D. Waldrop.
Plans call for the dam, using
54,000 cubic yards of dirt to be
built on Copeland Creek on the
Whitten Village farm as a flood
prevention measure within 140
calendar days. Work is expected
to commence within two weeks.
The second dam scheduled for
construction is on Sand Creek
and is also on the Whitten Vill
age farm, according to J. B.
O’Dell of the Soil Conservation
Service. It is now in the design
ing stages and bids are expected
to be asked within two or three
months, he added.
The third dam is planned for
1964 and is on Beards Fork
Creek, two miles North of Clin
ton. Property easements for it
are currently being sought, Mr.
O’Dell said. The three other damR
planned for the project are locat
ed on Long Branch, Duncan
Creek and a small stream one
mile South of Bethany Church.
The fifth year plans call for chan
nel improvements work on five
miles of the main Duncan Creek,
he added.
The Duncan Creek Watershed
District Directors will adminis
ter the construction contracts on
the works of improvement ac
cording to designs and specifi
cations drawn up by the Soil Con
servation Service.
After the dams are completed
the Soil Conservation Service
turns them over to the local
watershed district for upkeep.
The directors of the Duncan
Creek Watershed are: C. W. An
derson, Bryan A. Goodwin, C. D.
Waldrep and N. B. Senn.
The Laurens Cqpnty Soil Con-
servatino District is a co-sponsor
of the project. The district super
visors are: W. P. Dickson, Sam
B. Fleming,
and James D.
Ryan F. Lawson
