White who has been a patient in the Newberry County Memorial Hospital for a week un dergoing treatment, returned to her home on Caldwell street last Friday, where she is now doing nicely. I N SOME parts of the country, a license is required for those who live in trailers and pick up pennies by reading tea leaves, yet every day hundreds of prominent folks about the nation make all sorts of fantastic predictions and it isn’t costing them a eent. I propose a profuse tax be levied against anyone indulging in any thing related to the art of prog nosticating. I don’t propose in any way to do away with free speech. Every body has the right to speak his mind. It just seems to me that a lot of people are predicting things they really don’t believe merely to get their name in the headliries. For instance, I read three sepa rate articles recently. Each was written by a V. I. P. They pre dicted, in this order: 1. We will have another war within three months. 2. We will have a war within one year. 3. We will have a war within five years. Seems as if I read somewhere where some body said we wouldn’t have an other war, but if I did, the guy didn’t know what he was talking about. Three-to-one are pretty good odds in any game. War is only one thing. There are predictions we’ll reach the moon in a few years; the world will end soon; America will become an ice berg within a few decades; the Communists will win the world. I’m no worrier, but these things bother me. I wonder if the people who forsee these things so qlearly would be so quick to tell the world about it if they were required to buy a license before prognosti cating? l?v NOBLES Mr. and Mrs. John Ray (Mar garet Alice Haines) Nobles of 934 Cline street announce the birth of a seven pound, 12 ounce son, John Ray, Jr., on Wednesday, March 2, 1955 at the Newberry County Memorial Hospital. voug 1.

Higgins, Presi dent reported to stockholders. Af ter provision for preferred divi dends, 1954 earnings were $4.07 per common share as against $5.07 in 1953. The company is a major producer of textile specialties, sur gical dressings and allied products, and operates 17 domestic and for eign plants, including the Mollo hon and Oakland plants at dew berry, S. C. . Common dividends on the 1,000,- 000 shares outstanding were $2.00 per share hi 1954, as against $1.90 per share in 1953 on a comparable basis. v' : Two He- ■ SF Net sales in 1954 were $93,184,- 000, a decline of $7,149,000 from the record high of 1963—largfely due to a lower volume of Govern ment business. Competitive con-; ditions in the textile industry throughout the year resulted Ih depressed market prices, witk lower profit margins and net earnings. However, demand for consumer products continued show growth. Working capital increased $1,- 680,000 during the year. Capital outlays were $1,742,000 for 1954, and normal capital outlays In 1955 are expected to be slightly higher. In addition, the company has an nounced plans for the construction of a new finishing plant in Beth- une, S. C. * Commenting on the outlook, Mr. Higgins said: “Sincd the turn of the year, incoming orders have been at a higher rate than In 1954. However, there has not yet been any significant improvement in profit maiYtac with this influx of bfUglaese and it is realistic to ex- tp pect a continuation of competitive conditions in 1955.” The University of 1 lina has admitted SIS dents for the spring which began this month.
