Speaking to approximately 80 county agricultural agents, Vance said Clinton-Lydia is the only textile firm of consequence in the state that is not using same synthetics it will not be forced into a change. “Our tradition has been cotton. It is a tradition that we wish to mainain,” he said. The agents went on a tour of the Lydia plant that carried them from the cloth warehouse filled with bales of raw cotton to the cloth room with bolts and rolls of the finished product. Also included in the tour of area textile industry were Jo anna and Carlisle Mills. Thurs day the group moved to Green wood county for visits in plants at Ninety Six and Greenwood.

RSV.) Through his mother and grandmother, Timothy had developed a sincere faith. Then the timf came when he needed to put his faith into action. His spritual father, the Apostle Paul, recognized Tim othy’s great possibilities, and encouraged him to undertake the things he knew to be right. But Timothy was not a self-starter; be was hesitant to undertake the things he knew to be right. How man of us are Timothys? We have faith in Christ and feel led by the spirit to follow a certain action, but hesitate. "How will this action affect my business? ” “I am trying to increase my security. Will this action tend to make me less secure?” What will my friends and neighbors think?” friends and neighbors think?” Paul said, “Never be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord . . . but take your share of suffering for the sake of the gospel, in the strength that comes from God.” Oar heavenly Father, we see many things that need to be done to promote and strengthen Thy fciagdem.
