A Word to Clinton.

A prominent business man of Clinton
who was here last week said that an
artesian we'll ard water works plant
were being discussed in hat town. This
is what Clinton urgently needs. Clin-
ton is the soundest and most solvent
community in South Carolina without
IN exception, it's people are full of
pluck and progress and public spirit
and whatever is undertaken in Clinton
succeeds. Clinton has fine cotton mills,
fine schools, far better streets than
most South Carolina towns, good build
ings and some splendid public institu-
tions, of which the Thornwell Orphan
age and Presbyterian College of South
Carolina are notable examples. But
Clinton should have better water-not
that her present water supply is worse
than that of other towns-but because
any and all towns of 5000 people have
passed the point where surface wells
are safe. Greenville, under the noun
tain's shadow, with admirable natural
drainage, was frequently afflicted with
typhoid fevers ten or twelve years ago.
lhSh bho WGllS WSTc aOdhoOhSo nhu
splendid water brought from the top OF
Paris Mountain. From that time for
ward typhoid has been a rare visitor
and Greenville has been the healthiest
town in the South or perhaps in the
country. In this town, too, a marked
decrease in typhoid fever has taken
place since the people have been
using artesian water and the expert.
enc of many other towns has been sim.
liar. In scattered villages the menace
from wells is not relatively great
but in towns of several thousand it is
considerable. To a town like Clinton.
already n OF the best places for good
citizens to live in that can be found or
the map, a good artesian water system
would be worth hundreds of thousands
of dollars.

Goods Roads are absolutely
necessary in this county. Bad
roads and poverty stricken
people are inseparable. Good
roads double the value of lands
and make farmers prosper.
They should be built, they must
be built, even if it require
higher taxes. Permanent good
roads Laurens must have.

the Senator disowned Mr.. Applet and

WOman's Club Of Kenosha Opens the
Season OF 1902 and 1903 With
an interesting Meeting.
IAN UNPUBLISHED MAGAZINE. +"
Different Members of the Club Contribute
Articles for Unique Paper. Delegates
to. State Convention Named.

The Wofnan's Club of Kenosha
opened the new season of 1902 1908 at
the club rooms in the Gilbert M. Sim
nous library on Wednesday afternoon
and large number Of the members of
the club gathered to take part IL the
first meeting.
Before the first literary program for
the year was given the business meet
ing was held. The club will take a
leading part in the coming State Con-
vention Of the Wisconsin Federation
to be held later III the year. The del
egates selected to represent the Keno
sha club are the Presidents, Mrs. Geo.
Y Redeker and Mrs. James Cavanagh
Mrs. Peter Fisher and Mrs. w. p.
Robinson were selected as alternates.
The literary program was very
unique and interesting one and was
the first thing Of the kind ever pre-
sented in Kenosha. The paper for the
day was entitled can Unpublished
Magazine" Miss Anna Kimball was
in charge of the magazine and inter
esting articles were furnished by many
of the mem bers of the club. The ar
ticles showed a great deal of literary
merit and were great credit to the
club and its members.
In opening her magazine Miss Kim
ball offered a strong editorial telling
of the perils of the editorial position
and the trouble she had encountered
IN selecting the matter for this, the
| first club magazine. Following the
editorials Mrs. G. r. Mcdowell fur

Francis Lewis Balm contributed a
students in Paris. A description Of
West Point, which was of an exceed
ingly interesting nature, was given
by Miss Agnes S1osson, who recently
visited the National Military school.
One Of the best features of the mag
azine was child's story, contributed
by Miss Madeleine Newell. In a very
clever way she told the story Of crab
apple blossom and traced the various
evolutions of the blossom on the tree
until it became jelly on the children's
| bread. Misses Kimbal1 and Balm Of
fered a poem which was a rather
| clever take off of 1.-The Bird Class, =
and Mrs. A. H. Lance gave very in
teresting descriptive article on DR..
John Alexander Dowie and his city to
the south of Kenosha. The article of
Mrs. Lance, was sort of pen picture
of Dowie, his home and his people.
| The concluding articles were clever
little hits on the different presidents Of
the club contributed by the editor.
