Es pecially some Presbyterians. ? ? ? Let's make the year 101!! show more progress in every way than any year before It. ? ? ? The Chleora girls should adopt as their college sonn that pathetic little ballad entitled "O. promise me." ? ? ? May the year 1913 be the happiest, best, most prosperous and less bur dened with sorrow of any year you have ever known. e ? ? Judging from the wholesale par dons of the governor, our jurors must all be somewhat addle-brained and not competent to pass on the guilt or in nocence of the prisoners brought be fore them. ? ? ? About the best thing that the legis lators can do this year is to go down and transact routine business and vote to adjourn just as soon as possible. It is a foregone conclusion that noth ing worth whlie is going to be ac complished. ? ? ? ? Greenwood and Laurens are ahou? in the same boat: Greenwood raised $30,000 to secure a boy's school ami failed to get i'. while Laurens raised $75.000 and failed to get a girl'.-, school. It would have been better for both institutions if they had ac cepted what was offered them. ? * * Several newspapers of cities in South Carolina have recently been "heralding the fact in flaring headlines that a large ice manufacturing cor poration had bought the plants In their respective cities as if it were a sign of progress and growth. Several years hence those same papers will probably be complaining of a corner on ice in South Carolina. ? ? ? ' It is to he hoped that this year will see n decrease in the acreage of the cotton crop in this county. The high price of the staple this past season is bound to cause an immense crop the corning season. The cotton crop in the larger portion of the south was very large this year and the price was Kood, so it is not to be expected that those who were satisfied with their" profits will think much about reduc ing for the coming crop. ? ? ? It appears as if over-eager lawyers, a few gosslpers and flash-light news paper correspondents are weilding too much Influence in the conduct of the Tillman "spectacle". While we hold no brief for young Hen Tillman, though It doea appear that he Is doing belter, yet It appears as if at every opportunity and sometimes without the opportunity, advantage Is taken to show him up in a bad light. If what Mr. H. C. Tillman says is true, and we do not doubt it. there was a direct attempt to misrepresent the at titude of young Til man's children to ward their father when they were sent to his home for the holidays. It seems as if Mrs. Tillman would do better to ;ake a little counsel to herself. ? ? ? The prowbytery which Includes the chnrches of Spartanburg county it la said, voted solidly to take Chleora from Greenville. It is hoped their stand made them feel bettor.--Green ?11 le news. Spartanburg neods no defense from this source. Hut Spartanburg sup ported Greenville so long as Green ville was able to bamboozle her Into thinking that Greenville was going to do something for Chleora. Then, see ing, as others did, that Greenville had nn idea of lending assistance, Spar tanburg dropped her and turned to a source roady and willing to lend aid. Greenville can congratulate herself, however, that she had such an ardent admirer as Clinton to rally to her sup port and to offset the "bad" Influence of Spartanburg.
