IL is very plea5inR lot the friends OF
Thomas Z. McGee and Larry Langston
Citadel competitive scholarship. Nc
Gee from this county winning his
scholarship over II others; Langston,
from Spartanburg, because it is the
nome or his parents, winning his schol-
arship over 3others. These two young
men have been raised in Pelzer, and
Tor the past several years been hard at
work IN the mill. Some months ago
Prof. West ,OOk these two young men
in hand and drilled them thoroughly
after work hours and ut night, and to-
day he sees that his efforts have been
crowned with success and doubtless
feels Justly prouu Of them. The sue
cesso these young men rcfutes con
cluslvcly the idea that we hear spoken
40 often that mill work-sO confining
and eXacting in it's demands takes
IRON boy or young man all desire to
study or to improve himself mentally,
virtually takes away all ambition To
rise above the common, every day
lab0lcr. Their success proves that the
man or boy as Il mill operative. work,
ing so constantly with machinery that
is little less than human, makes him
feel Ills ignorance the more sensibly
and creates within himself a laudable
ambition to know more about his work
his slnmDerng senses. Every boy and
young man, every girl On young woman
who has to earn their bread by the
sweat of their brow should take adj
vantage OF every opportunity that ia
afforded them to better themselves by
cultlvatIng their minds rs well as their
hearts. The mill owners are willing
ana ready nj all times, just as in the
case or these two young men, to help
those who are willing and show some
desire to help themselves.
