The Sunday issue pf thy Greenville N<hvh wits one of the largest papers ? voi issued ironi a South Carolina press ft wiih one of the most valuable and interesting ever gotten out and is worthy of a place in the files of any newspaper or library, ll represented in) immense amount of work and con tain.'. historical information of value not only to Greenville and Greenville county, hut to the entire state. Some of the features noted in this remark able paper are as follows: It contains 150 pages, 15 sections, 1,248 columns; 28,000 copies, weight of each copy 2 % pounds, weight of entire issue 57, 000 pounds, cost ol paper alone in each copy 1 1 V* cents, cost of paper alone in issue, $;!,5K7. It is also said that the height of entire edition if piled high, would be 1,538 feet, or twice as high as the NVoolworth build ing, seven times as high ua the Green ville Woodsido building, and it' the 23,000 copies were opened and spread end to end, a 21 -inch wide paper could la* at retched from Greenville to Washington. When it is known that the News has only been a seven day paper for a little over fifteen years, the enterprise is all the more remark able and shows the rapid growth of the Mountain City as well as the growth of the NeWs and its capacity for keeping abreast of the times." Those in Camden who predicted dil'e results fioni the amount of street paving done in Camden during the past two years might take heart when ? u. ? luwi-w+i? ? tWt? t-tt< years ago not even main street in Greenville was paved. Today as The Ne^vs says, Greenville has thirty-six miles of paved streets and one hun dred and twenty-two miles of concrete sidewalks. Since that time they havi built several sky scrapers, sevvral ho tels and another million dollar hotel under construction. Greenville has an annual payroll from her textile mills <*f $1 J. ..00,000, with banking resources of over $20,000,000. I he Pee Dee Advocate, Hennetts v i He?. Marlboro county, reports that ?John J. Pearson of that county, made 227 bales ol eotlon on 220 acres this year. Mr. Pearson fought the boll weevil with kerosene, dragging a cro cus sack smeared with kerosene against the stalks on both sides of the ro-vrr? nt cnch plowing, fie says thftt the odor ot the kerosene drove- the boll weevils away. A part of his crop was loiij^ si a pie, else he would have made more. ii* says he paid his croppers $15,000 in cash over ex penses. following a collision betweeen his t-ar and n Greenville car near Gafl'ney on Christmas day Senator LalLimure, of Greenville county, was badly beaten up by occupants of the Greenville car, one of his assailants using a clubbed rifle.

Stan dard Grocers ( ?> . f?:;s DeKalb St. ? 10- ! 1 Should Observe Kulev. Kditor Chronicle; 1 would like to tnl! attention through your paper to the practic?f on the part of automobile driver? in putting out their hand? to th<* left side of the car when prepar ing to make a right, hand turn. This is not only necessary but is really dangerous and may lead to serious accidents. The driver Nhould remem ber that no one should pass on his right and therefore can make a right hand turn with entire safety without the necessity of a signal. However, considerable confusion exists in Cam din regarding this, and I have seen two serious near accidents from this cause. Particularly is this true since our. Mtreets have been paved, and it is necessary for one to turn somewhat to the left in order to get in the nar row driveways on the right Ollf drivers should be cautioned to put theiV hands out only wihen mak ing a left hand turn or when in crowded traffic, to denote slowing up in stopping, but never to denote a right hand turn. Automobile Driver. If You Are Discouraged. If you get discouraged, if you feel you cannot sqrmonnt the obstacles that confront you, here is a plan that may help you over the rough places: Sit down and make a list, mentally, if you like, of a few of your friends and acquaintances. Think of a banker, a merchant, a lawyer, a doctor, a farmer, a mechanic, and as you think of him try to picture to yourself just what he is doing at the moment. To save your life you can't picture him as other than going, ahead with his daily affairs. You can't, to save your life, picture him as throwing up hta hands and (putting, for that is not a natural thing to do. And as you think of your friends, carrying on all of them, also get and "fcrrp" U? vrrmrT that each OiKs fir tfteiir has some special burden, something ^calculated to discourage him. His -load, his- discouragements, may' be gi eater than your own, and) yet he is carrying on. The thought should strengthen you. All of us have the blues, at times. All of us feel, at times, that our own particular burden is heavier than we " * deserve. Mut none of us know just how the other fellow is situated. We do know though, that he is going ahead, usu ally with a smiling face to the world. And all of us know how the world despises u weakling, ? quitter. If the other fellow can carry his load, ami ,'?ing as he carries it, you can't afford to whine, or quit. You have simply got to buck up and keep going.? Carolina Citizen.

J. Shropshire was presented with a beautiful leather wallet bearing the Masonic Insignia. The short, but spicy presentation speech was made by Dr. J. H. Thomas. As the guests withdrew for the tables the tloor was cleared and Prof. Mill ler's Orchestra struck the soothing strains of "Three o'clock in the Morning" as an announcement to the banqueters that the house was then open for recreation and relaxation for those who desired to remain. The hall was beautifully decorated with lights and colors suggestive of the holiday season and as the dancers tripped around to the strains of the music their cares and worries were for the moment forgotten. ( No Punishment .Too Severe. chances are that it is accidental. Even though he may be at fault, by driving recklessly or carelesslyl, when he stops his car and comes back to see what he can do to remedy the situa tion, that certainly is an extenuating circumstance in his favor. But, when in utter disregard. .of the rights of others, he plows into an other car, or strikes a pedestrian, and is lucky enough to be able to drive on, then by his act he displays such a contemptible attitude, that we think there should be som6 means of punish ing him more severely when he is caught. ?
