DPacusville News Letter.
Hon. S. G. Mayfield, a promfnent
citizen of Denmark as well as an emi
nent lawyer, visited at the home of his
sister and family, Dr. and Mrs. W. M.
Ponder, last week. Altho busily en
gaged in the practice of law, he never
fails to visit the blue hills of his native
heath whenever an opportunity offers.
Miss Margaret Jameson of Easley is
visiting Mrs. Ford Williams this week.
Mrs. S. H. Hunt and son, Malvin,
accompanied by Mr and Mrs. George
Williams and Mrs. Mary Hunt, started
on an extended trip to points of interest
in North Carolina Friday. While away
they expect to visit Asheville, Hender
sonville, Brevard and surrounding com
munity, returning by Omesar's Head.
Davis Hunt, one of our former citi
zens but now of Charleston, is on a visit
to his father and family; M. V. Hunt,
Sr., of this section.
Miss Daisy Philpot, who has been
spending some time here, has gone to
visit relatives at Travelers Rest.
Mr. and Mrs. Henry McDaniel have
gone to Washington to visit ther scan
James and his family.
Messrs. Volta and Clarence Lathem,
with their respective families, of Mi
ami, Arizona, are visiting their former
homes for the summer. Father Time
seems to have dealt gently with them,
as they seem to bear no marks of de
cline, and from appearances the lines
have fallen to them in pleasant places.
W. H. Brockman and wife and son
Homer and Mr. and Mrs. William Major
motored over from Greer in their hand
some touring car, visiting many friends
and relatives while here.
The Lenhardt ball team crossed bats
with the Dacusville team on the home

Our school will open the first Monday
in September and we trust we will have
another fine term. Prof. Lupo of
Greenville is principal, with Miss Patti
Major of Pickens and Miss Edith Len
hardt of Easley as assistants.
We feel proud to' say our school has
turned out three boys who have won
scholarships. Two years ago Lucius
Thomas won the one-year agricultural
course at Clemson. This year Malvin
Hunt won the same scholarship, and
Sam Jones has the honor of winning the
four-year course at Clemson over sev
eral other contestants. We think this
shows the results of a good school at
home, and wonder if there is another
rural school in the county that can beat
that-record. Miss Nannie Mae Jones,
another of our graduates. will enter
Winthrop at the opening of the coming
session.
With the exception of an epidemic of
suminer colds and a few chronic pa
tients, the health of our community is
fairly good at present.

Never Too Late to Learn
We heard on the street the
other day of a man who claimed
he was too poor to take his home
paper, but that this same man
read a notice in one of the fake
farm papers telling how to pre
vent a horse from slobbering,
and sent $1.50 for the recipe.
When the $1.50 worth of infor
mation came it said: "Teach
your horse how to spit!"-Hart
well (Ga.) Sun.
She Found a Way
She had tried in vain to get
the. telephone, but the other
parties were using the line.
The last time she heard one wo
man say:
"I have just put on a plate of
beans for dinner."
She triedllater, but the women
were still talking. I~xasperated,
she broke in crisply
"Madam. I smell your beans
burning." A horrid scream
greeted this remark and then
she was able to put in her call.
It's Money
Spent!
It's far better to spend
$50 or $1,000 in ad
vertising in this news
Ipaper and make more net
profit than it is to spend
nothing for advertising
and make less net profit
Out of every ten men
who succeed nine do so
by liberal publicity. The
tenth man is usually a
freak exception.
Consistent advertising
keeps you even with or
ahead of your competitor.
Most of our merchants
are quick to realize that
the best reading element
in this community-the
people who buy most
take this paper and read
the advertisements there
in contained.
