t mean We are growing better?

that the city ought to regulate that
city clock so that it would not be
necessary for people to keep two
times-I reckon that is a good ex-
pression-well, you know what I
mean. We ought not to have city
time and railroad time. They ought
to be the same. How would it do
for city council to require railroad
time to be fixed to conform to city
time-any way so that we will not
have to give two different times
when asked the time @ day. What
say you, city council, if railroad time
is wrong require the railroads to
change their time so that it viii COR
form to city time. Something ought
to be done. It is a small matter and
therefore could be easily regulated
and then the knockers would have 10
find a. new subject. Don't you mind,
they will find it. But any how set
the clock right.
7 r.ad in the Columbia Record }ne
other uay where the Clemson college
people had invited the legislature to
% 10 Clemson. Of course the invl-
tatiou will be accepted. That goes
without saying. and it is just as we'll
for the legislature to go around VS.
ting State institutions as to be tin
kering with the laws We now have
and making others we know not OF,
but the point I am trying to make IS
that some member by name, b. M.
Rucker, moved that the legislature al
81 visit a little town, somewhere IN
the neighborhood of Clemson, I reck-
on, by the name of Anderson. Now
T don't see where our senator and
representatives were, for [ did not
read where an invitation was includ-
ed to visit Newbe1Ty. And unless 1
am misinformed our senator is not
only a member of the board but the
head of the board and life member
and also has a relative in the faculty.
Why not visit Newberry willie OUT on
their junket. We could give the
members a good time. I am sure we
could get Mayor Blease to suspend
some of our sumptuary ordinances
and then we could show the members
of the legislature real live college,
run without a State appropriation,
and at about half the cost Of some
of our State colleges that have no
more students, and I believe doing
Just as efficient work. What do you
say, Mr.. President Mayer and Mr..
Secretary Cunningham? Get up your
Invitation. It is just as easy to 60
by Newberry to Clemson as by any
other route. Let US show the honor
able gentlemen a real live Piedmont
city. or at least give them the oppor-
tunity to see one. Get busy. Now is
the time for action.
I read the other day an extract
from a sermon said to have been de-
livered by one Rev. J. B. Silcox, Of
New Orleans. and he took his text
from that familiar text in the Bible
which reads: Don't fret.' I sup
pose everybody knows just where to
find the text, but if any one is so lg-
norant and will admit it I will be
pleased to furnish additional infor-
nation. When I go down to New Or
leans to Madri Gras I am going |
around to hear Mr.. ~Silcox preach and
if T am not there on Sunday I am |
going. around to talk with him. l !
like the gospel Of love and good cheer
becaus, I believe it is the gospel OF
the pure Bible and the gospel that |
makes the world better and happier.
In fact 1 believe in the gospel Of SAL
walton rather than in the gospel OF
damnation. I want everybody to
read the following extracts from this
sermon. So many Of u; fret over lit
tie things and things we can't help. !!
I think I told you once before that |
the troubles of most people we're
troubles that never happened. Read
the following and be happy and make
others happy: !
The Duty of Being Pleasant.
"Oliver Wendell Holmes tells US
of a plain marble slab he found in
Mount Auburn cemetery with an
epitaph Of four wo1ds: He was so
pleasant That short senteme re-
