other 16, have been charged with
housebreaking and grand lar
ceny, housebreaking and petty
larceny and larceny, here in con
nection with a series of break-ins
early Sunday at Wattsville and

Sheriff R. Eugene Johnson said
the youths were picked up at
their homes by Deputy Sheriff
Jimmie Stevens last Wednesday
morning and brought to the Lau
rens County Jail for questioning
Warrants were sworn out Thurs

Continued Use Of
Cotton Depends On
Price, Vance Says
The president of the largest
all-cotton textile company in
South Carolina said here last
Wednesday that the ultimate de
cision to continue producing all
cotton cloth depends on whether
cotton can become competitive.
Robert M. Vance, president of
Clinton-Lydia Cotton Mills, cited
“unrealistic pricing practices”
as the major cause of the switch
to synthetic fibers by most tex
tile manufacturers.
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.
The purpose of the two-day
tour was to acquaint county
farm agents and other extension
workers with the processes in
volved in making high-grade
cloth from raw cotton.
The tour was arranged by the
American Textile Manufacturers
Institute, Inc.

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?”

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.
