Prece en 'erna per boy. For sale ihy McMaster & Co. From Cellar to Garret. We have heard of the succeCSS Of a a Winnsbobo boy and we are proud of it. It does good us to record ithe accomplishments of our ycung men at all times and this case i cs pesially deserving of mneutior. In December Mr. J. II. M.Beaty went to Chester to learn the c->tton mill business; he had worked in the ins ehine shops in Columbia after leaving the South Carolina College and had the benefit of the mechanical expel i ence there. But he commenced at t he lowest rounds of the ladder, i l picker room of the Catawba Cotton Mil's and worked in every department until he thoroughly understood the mill ba-i ness. Furthermore he worked with out pay, for the purpose of lcar:irg, until now he is in charge of the enutire mill, the former superinictndant nc eepting another job made a va-ancy for him. This should stimulate other young men of our town, for we have plenty of talent, it only nceds develepe ment. Mr. Beaty's example is ver; ommendable and let our boys do ikewise. A CORRECTION'. Mr. Editor: A recent issue of your journal has in the local :icws column the following: "Mr. Juo. D. Palmer was sent up as a representatiue of the ately organized club at RidgewaY-" The facts are these: The Ridgeway Democratie Club met on the afternoon of July 4th in resporse to the call of its President, Mr. F. B. Austen, for reorganization, according to custom, as this is a campaign .ear. Mr. Pal mer was, by ballot, duly elccted ex ecutive committeemahn, and armed with duly signed credentials, met the executive committee ii Winnsbc ro on uly 6, where he was refused a su a' >n the score that he came from a new club. There is only one club at Ridge way bearing the proud name of -The Ridgeway Democratic Club." It ws organized in 1876; has never been out f existence, still maintains its integrity nd does business honestly at the old 3tand. The newly organized club Ridgeway Democratic Club No 2, and was lately organized in 1890, with Mr. W. J. Johnston as president, upon tbe occasion when, finding themselvez >t voted at all points, certain of outr ellow citizens who diff.red from us in politics, withdrew and organiz d thcir lnb. Let an honest public opinion ecide as to whether Mr. Phlmer u as ntitled to his seat or not. A parting word: While memtbers )f the executive committee wetre mnak ing quasi apolegetic speeches etc., du: - ing the consideration of Mr. Palmer-'s tase, Mr. J. W. Lyles gave his ruling, lepriving Mr. Palmer of l,is scat, in so doubtful terms. BIe at least had he courage of his convictions. Win. RI. Mood, Sec. Ridgeway Democratic Club Ridgeway, July 8, 189G. [We most cheerfully give space for he correction as to the true status of :he Ridgeway Democratic Club, as hown by Dr. Mood's let ter. We were misinformed, forn r.ec do not desire to mnisrepsent any man or any et of men.
