CLINTON COUNCIL STIRRING UP ROWS Condcmn?ug Property und Opening Now Streets Causes Nome Com plaints?Lau Suits Possible. Clinton, Feb. 21.?The present town council seem to have formed i.n am tion to no down in history as map. makers. In the opening of new streets and extension and widening of old ones they have accomplished quite a good deal. All of this lias not been doue without some ill-feeling and Bens* of injustice on the part of owners of property condemned. Several citizens are contemplating ' damage suits, it is said. In one in- j stance a beautiful row of trees was cut from a piece of property to widen , the street and it is predicted that the town will pay well for this. One of the chief extensions is of Hatley avenue from the edge of the j Thornwell orphange property north for something over a mile to an Intersection with Broad street about the town limits. It will pass through) the property of M. S. Bailey, W. S. { Bean. R. II. Ilatton. R. L. Bailey, W. A. Shands, and perhaps others, and will throw open in the neighborhood adjoining the Clinton mill village and beyond a number of residence or bus iness lots. Another extension that has caused some disturbance is that of Adair street on the north of ihe railroad. The same street south of the railroad I is failed Church street and run past j the Presbyterian church and the Pres- j hyterlan college. It has been wid-j ened twelve feet and the people on it J whose property has been condemned and injured are very indignant. Trees! have bet :i cut and front yards ruined unnecessarily and unfairly as they claim. It is rumored that the street com mittee of the council has resolved to i broad' n and modify the course of West Main street, and developments are a waited with interest. Mr. .1. C. Cook and Mr. Burch of .1.' R. McCravy and Co., Atlanta are en- , gaged by the council in making a sur- . vey of Clinton preparatory to putting in a sewerage system. The necessary steps have been taken to secure the: permission of the legislature for Clin ton to overstep her UOIldcd indebted ness limit for this purpose. Should! everything no without a hitch it will . probably be about eighteen months before the undertaking can be actual ly entered upon, and a contract signed, j What Parisian Sntre Will do of Money Back.

Publicity Work for The Southern. President Fin ley has announced re- ' Cently that the Southern Bail way will in the near future, through its Land ' and Industrial Department, again en large the publicity and promotion work I which It has carried on for tho devel- ! opment of the country leached by its! lines. It was necessary to curtail this work somewhat following the bus iness depression of 1907, on account of both general and special conditions. It is now felt that not only the busi ness conditions I? the country, but the local situation In the Southeast war rants a larger campaign for the loca tion of industries, the bringing of new settlers, and a general development work, tint is the resumption in full of the company's efforts to build up the Southeast. In carrying out this policy, there will bo a hirger use of the trade, agricultural, and other newspapers and periodicals of the North and West, the publication of many special pamphlets, exhibits at many .Northern fairs, and a larger work in .Northern Europe. The South ern has found that one of the best methods of publicity is in the exhibits of tin? products of its territory nt the larger fairs held in the North and West and more attention than ever will be paid to this line of work. The South will he advertised In Northern Europ ean countries by tho circulation of specially prepared natter, and by the use of newspapers, in a way that is consistent with our immigration laws and as Is permitted by the laws of tho respective countries. The Southern has maintained for some years a Eu ropean agency of Its Band and Indust rial Department, with headquarters in London, which will carry on the pro sedition of active efforts to Interest lnnd seekers and Investors from that side of the ocean in the South. The most, thorough co-operation possible is to he given to local business and other Organizations in the development of the various communities along the Southern system. I SOCIAL AND PERSONAL.

During one cold winter his cows got lean like Phar roh's ill-favored kind down In Egypt. They were huddled in the fence com ers, bumped up and shivering with the cold blasts from tho Fast wind. Allen Lowe passed by and saw the herd and critically examined them. Going on over tho river he mel in Jim Sullivan and hailed him with the Inquiry, "who was the commissioner of the poor In Laurens county.'' Toby Allen are you In notion <.;' go Ing to the poor house?" "No doctor. Mose Meyers' COWS tol<) me to make inquiry about who attend ed to the poor, they needed assistance badly." Dr Sullivan told Myers what Lowe bad asked him up the road. He got mad all over, and his girls got madder, In a few days Lowe returned from Greenville county and the Myers worn- J en saw the old man coming up the lane. They piled up some rocks and were ready for him. When near the house they ran out to meet Dim. "We will teach you. you old rascal, to make fun of our cows," tliey cried. They threw rocks at him and chased him down the lane. The old man had to do some fast traveling to get away from the girls. When you get a woman real mad, you bad better get out of her way. If she don't hit you she will tell you ex actly what she thinks of you. An attack, of the grip is oft on follow ed by a persistent cough, which to many proves n great annoyance.
