COOPERATION*. Paper Read Refore Joint Missionary Society Meeting. The following paper was read before the joint meeting of the Woman's Missionary societies of the city by Mrs. W. P. Jones. "To me, the coming together of the mothers and sisters of our town with unity of purpose and determination of spirit to search our hearts and lives, to see wherein we have failed to make our community an ideal one for the physical and- spiritual growth of our boys and girls, is a most beautiful thing. The fact that we crave the highest and best for them is an indication that these things w.ere intended for us and that we shall gain them. We want Bamberg to grow, want intelligent, progressive families to move here and to he contented to stay after they come. The idea of prime importance with the parents will he Ts the environments of Bamberg such that my girls and boys will be safe there, will they make friends there whose influence will lie ever uplifting, find amusements and recreations which make for health, happiness and service?" If we want to attract this cultured Christian type of folks as well as keep our children contented and fill t*iem with high and noble aspirations, we must think seriously what is best to be done and then act. In reading of a great sculptor who spent his best efforts in moulding a beautiful statue of snow which was ruined by an hour's sunshine, the thought comes?have we been wasting our powers and the precious days of our lives making snow statues of dress, household duties, social obligations, when we might be working for immirtality, encouraging some boy to follow the light of a star he has never seen, our girls to *be true to their highest inspirations, to realize that each one of us is pledged to give the world the best there is in us? Let us plan big things, then do them, all things are possible when there is a spirit of co-operation and when our efforts are approved by God. First, we need to examine ourselves, to be sure that our own lives are such that our influence will ever enrich and ennoble young lives. Then we need to create such a spiritual atmosphere in our town and make it such a habit for bur young people to attend religious services that it will be unusual to see even one stay away. Especially do I long to see our churches filled to overflowing with our boys and girls at the evening services, get them to feel that they are responsible for the music and the congregation, that thej* must seek out those who do not attend. "But, there is another phase of young life, the side which craves amusement and pleasure and w? must lead them into the right channels along this line or they may choose unwisely and develop a taste for amusements on a lower lbvel. We need most of -all a community house in which we might have a public library, rest room, swimming pool, stage for theatricals, some place where young and old can meet for recreation and fun. How fitting it would be for our town to build this as a memorial to the life and works of Dr. J. J. Cleckley, who was a friend to everybody and interested in everything for the uplift of mankind. This would not be an impossible undertaking with the whole town working together. All of our young people should be organized, a Business Girls' Club, a Dramatic Club, Boy Scouts and others', all striving for the same end, to keep well, to learn to have a good time, strive toward an ideal and to serve. Enthuse each club with the thought that Bamberg expects each member to aim high and expects great things of him as an individual. Let each club work for this building in any way they may choose, having fun and recreation meanwhile in their hikes, picnics and pageants. Our Self-culture club has planned among many other things, community singing on the lawns of the different churches each Sunday afternoon during the summer which we hope will prove a source of genuine enjoyment to every man, woman and child and that during this hour all may join in praise to God and laying aside all care and worry, enjoy just being together. At our first concert, we plan to invite all newcomers in our town, all those who have lived here for three years or less, to come and get acquainted with us. learn more of them and they of us. We have also discussed establishing a thrift, shop which would he of great value to tlie community in finding sale for handiwork, jellies, pickles, preserves, rolls, cakes, chickens, eggs, hams. etc.. also bringing about a more cordial relation between the people of the town and country. Here too the different clubs could bring old dresses, hats, shoes, furn ture. etc.. from time to firm, and the proceeds could go towards our building. "The ApolIoMusio club, T think, has already dreamed of attempting a community house on this order, and the members constitute a wide-awake, 1XVEXTOK OF Al TOMOHILK. Native of Anderson Said to Have Heon First to Patent Machine. The Anderson Daily Mail says: Mail says: Patented the Differential Gear. It was in a small machine shop, the power for which was supplied by a small crack near Westminster, S. C., that an Anderson man designed and built the first "Horseless Road Carriage" ever built in America so far as there is any record. There is no doubt but that credit for building the first automobile belongs to John V. Stribling of No. 344 North Fant street, Anderson, S. C. It was on January 13th, 1S82, that the United States government issued Patent Xo. 259600 to -Mr. Stribling covering the principal features of his horseless carriage. Although rather crude in appearance this vehicle embodied many of the ideas used in the construction of the present automobile. This first "Horseless Carriage" was built before the day of the gasoline angines and Mr. Stribling's vehicle was propelled by steam. A small upright boiler was used and was so pivoted that it would remain in an upright position regardless of the position of the car. Mr. Stribbling was probably the first man ever to make and use the Differential Gear on a road machine. Mr. Stribling says that the idea of this complicated gear construction was original with him, but that after he had made it he later found that a similar construction had been used on a spinning frame in a cotton mill. Every automobile user is familiar with what *- 1 t -* l.'.l J ^ ^ uie aiiierenuai ^ears uu wuemei ui not lie knows how it operates. The differential gear allows one of the driving wheels to turn at a faster rate of speed than the other and without the use of Mr. Stribling's idea it would be impossible for an automobile to turn a corner, without turning over. Every automobile that has ever been built has had to use this type of gear in the driving wheels. At the automobile shows a large crowd is always attracted to any open chassis that shows the differential gear in operation. When both driving wheels are on the ground both wheels drive forward, but if the wheels are jacked up off the ground one will turn forward and the other backward. If one wheel is held the other will turn forwa-rd. It is these gears that allow the outside wheel to turn faster than the inside wheel when turning a corner. This one idea is a monument to Mr. Stribling's inventive genius and is of inestimable value to mankind. Nothing should take from Mr. Stribling the credit that is due him. 4- n A T O + o /I ? h i n X?

OLXiUHii5 liiauy HID xxuau Carriage all road vehicles had used wheels that turned oil the axle, but his was constructed, with wheels fastened to the axle and driving axle and Differential Gear were enclosed within a hollow shell just as is used on modern cars. Mr. Stribbling applied the power to all four of the wheels of his carriage and some of the truck manufacturers have recently employed this idea of their construction. Mr. Stribling's patent rights covered a period of seventeen years and it was five years before the expiration of Mr. Stribling's patent that Mr. Selden applied for the patent for use on a gasoline engine in a motor vehicle. The cost of building a steam propelled vehicle at that time was practically, prohibitive and as'gasoline propelled vehicles did not become popular during the last five years of Mr. Stribling's patent right he allowed his patent to expire and it then became public nrnnprfv Although Mr. Stribling was the originator and pioneer builder of an automobile he received no personal benefits from his inventions, other than the knowledge that it has done something and has advanced civilization and given comfort and pleasure to millions of people and has made life more worthwhile. While Mr. Stribling was showing his "Horseless Carriage" to an uncle of lis. the uncle exclaimed: "Johnny, the world is not ready for the Horseless Carriage, you are 'just fifty years ahead of your time!" Born in 1847 Mr. Stribling was 35 years of age when he secured his patent and although he is of rather advanced age at this time he is still very active and any one talking with him cannot but help appreciate the keen and alert intellect. Mr. Stribling is not boastful and yet he is not retiring. He is the type of good citizen who has progressive club of high ideals who make their dreams come true, so le* i-.o (1 ??<>'., : v r? tlincn iif linr /-.lliliO trt fli< i' o * i a i /. v in . m ii \ ~x i i u ' ? c a \ them in th:s undertaking and in th< byndimr of stronsr. staunch characiors.

The Orangeburg Times and Democrat, which has been issued as a morning daily for some time past, has found that it is unable to keep up the pace and goes back to tri-weekly issues. The publishers of the Times and Democrat are among the most experienced newspaper men of the state and the failure of the daily is due to no fault of theirs. The trouble lies in the fact that their town is not big enough, or their business men are not big enough. As a matter of fact, it has been hard sledding for newspapers during the past few years. For one thing, in no other business is there more conservatism in connection with charges of prices. Newspapers always seek to do it for less rather than ask more. Prices of all kinds of materials advanced in price and so did labor. Many newspapers were compelled to meet these advances and neglected to raise their own prices until it was too late. They were able to hold on for a while by reason of the increased volume of advertising business, but in many cases the increased volume of advertising business was not sufficient to meet increased expenses. There has been some drop in the price of paper and other materials, but the volume of advertising has fallen down to the pre-war normal, and as the result many publishers are finding their problems increasingly difficult. ?Yorkville Enquirer.

The controversy between the state of Georgia and the state of South Carolina over the boundary line between the two states is now engaging Mr. Stribling's interest. Mr. Stribling says he can prove that the original treaty between the states gives South Carolina certain territory east of the mountains that includes all of Babun county. Tfiis matter will come up before congress and Mr. Stribling expects to win for his state this valuable territory that* rightly belongs to it. This territory is rich in water power development, one large plant being located at Tallulah Falls. Mr. Stribling is putting his whole soul into this fight and is rendering his state another unselfish service. TOLD IN BAMBERG A Resident Known to. All Our Readers Relates an Experience.
