Clinton, Nov. 19.?Among the signs of growth in Clinton is the recent di vision of the town into six wards. The purpose of this is to make of tho city council a more distinctly representative body. Another recent advance was the organization of a volunteer fire depart ment. Mr. C. It. Boland, of Columbia, assisted in tho work of organizing and drilling the companies. Two hose com nanies were organized among the white men and a hook and ladder company among the negroes. Mr. J. W. Cope land, Jr., was elected chief of the de partment and Mr. P. S. Jeans, asistant chief. The young men, almost without exception, have entered with enthusi asm into the movement. The Itev. Dr. Robert Adams preached in the Presbyterian church on Novem ber 10. and received a cordial hearing, though, on nccount of the severe weather, the congregation was small. The Rev. Jones Barclay, of Green ville, is assisting the Rev. Fred K. Smith with a series of meetings at the Second Presbyterian church this week. Little Willie Walters, of the Thorn well Orphanage, caught fire Saturday, and would have been severely burned if Mr. Tom Scott had not put out the flames. Mr. Scott was quite painfully burned, but not seriously. Master Maycs Rcmbert, another Orphanage pupil, was operated on for appendicitis Saturday. He stood the oporation suc cessfully and is doing well. Mr. M. S. Bailey is quite recovered from his recent attack of appendici tis. The cases of scarlet fever in Clinton arc all doing nicely, and the disease seems to be stopped. Social affairs of the past week in cluded several pretty club meetings. Miss Essie Young entertained the Ce cilian Music Club on Friday afternoon. Mrs. W. J. Bailey was hostess at the meeting of the Nations' Club on Thurs day afternoon. Mrs. George Wright gave a lovely "Nations' Party" on Tuesday afternoon. Mrs. Henry Young entertained a dozen college students at an elegant dinner last Monday evening. The college students took much inter est in the tennis tournament, in Green ville, last week. Mr. Sam Fulton and Mr. Darby Fulton represented the col lege here and took second place. An election will be held here Friday to decide whether to appeal for a High school in Clinton. There is little doubt that there will be a large majority in favor of the High school.
