THE CANDID GIRL
GIVES SOME REASONS
For the Increasing Number
Of Old Maids.
(By Barbara Boyd J

Seeing that | am an old maid, sad
the Candid Girl, and that know pref
ty well the old maids viewpoint, t
makes me feel quite fatigued some
times to hear the things that are said
about Old maids.
Though they do not like to say it
openly, because they do not believe N
hurting peoples feelings, the clan Of
old maids have a private opinion, not
at all fatering to men, as to the size
of their vanity in thinking all women
want to marry them. 1t is impossible
to dislodge from some mems heads the
idea that there is a woman in the
world who doesn't want to get mar
ried"
DO you really think there is any?"
asked The Man
Yes, you are one of them" nodded
the Candid Girl Then she smiled into
his eyes as she said, There are plenty,
Mr.. Conceit.
Some women know they are not cut
out for the domestic life, and they have
sense enough and strength enough to
stand by their convictions
Others" she went on, are clear
eyed They look about them to see
what marriage has brought other wo-
men, and what they see isn't to their
liking. They do not care for the brand
of married life that, as usual thing,
is handed over the counter and so they
can't be cajoled or flattered into step
ping up and getting package. I
know they are terribly unromantic and
unsentimental and all that but they
would rather take their dose of realism
before than after. Their discovery
that they don't like it does no damage
then.
Then, there are others who say de-
liberately to themselves that they know
they don't like bad temper, or intOA-
/ ication, o. smoking, or laziness, 81
certain other habits to which men are
addicted, and what is the use of put
ting themselves into a position where
they will have to endure these things.
And so they decide upon single bless
edness for them.
Then Their are others who are
pure Bohemians at heart, who like the
open road and the campfire and thc
far country. and everything inimica
to the respectable hearth of a staid
married couple; and these say &c
themselves, Go to, thou wouldst be q
fool to marry and they sidestep the
proposition"
Il am something of a Bohemian
too" said The Man.
But the Candid Girl ignored his re-
mark.

PAVING IS DELAYED BY
The LACK OF LABOR
Laying OF Concrete vii
Begin Today.

Americas is shy on labor supply,
and the contractors engaged to put
down the street paving here are Sc
Iriously handicapped thereby. Not on
Ily is there a scarcity of labor of hie--
er quality, but even a sufficient force
of ordinary day laborers, the dirt Gig
gers at SIPS per, are difficult to secure
just now. @Fl;
1t is hoped, however, to supply this
deficiency today or by tomorrow, and
the work will then go forward at more
rapid rate.
Agents have been sent to Alabama
districts, where negro labor is plenti-
full, and a full force will be secured
there and brought to Americas. Men
who can spread concrete are needed
more Just at this juncture than are
others.
Lamar street is in readiness for the
concrete foundation upon which the
creosoted wooden blocks will rest
The surface was smoothed yesterday
by running a five ton steam roller
upon it, and the ground will thus ht
dressed off and made perfectly smooth
for laying down the block cubes.
The first shipment of wood blocks
has not yet arrived, but these can b'
had quickly as soon as the conuactes'
want them.

TRINITY WINS VICTORY.
Score Seven TO Zero at End OF Slow
Game at Park Thursday.

The Clemson baseball team was not
In form Thursday when they went
mp against the strong team from
Trinity college. for they suffered a
most overwhelming defeat and lost
their first game In the State this sea-
son.
The game was one OF the slowest
ever played on the local diamond and
was more like a funeral than n base
ball game. 1t was In fact a funeral
for the hopes OF the many Clemson
supporters who had gathered to see
the game. The crowd on the bleach
ers and grandstand numbered some
where about the 200 mark and was
not In very enthusiastic frame Of
mind. and IL the cheering put forth
was a sign OF their thoughts the
thoughts were only doleful ones.
The hsif dozen rooters for Trinity.
however. were considerably more
lively and could be heard most OF the
time.
Gahtt pitched fine game for
Trinity and was well supported.
while Rivers for Clemson. pitched a
fairly good game and had extremely
poor support from his teammates,
Thomas on first base and Conelly In
left field being the only two other
players on the team that showed any
form az all Leo Miller umpired the
game, and was In fact the best fea-
ture 81 the game. as his decisions
werc always fair and prompt.
AZ took tho game something over
two hourse to drag itself out, at no
part Of which time was the game
exciting or more than barely interest
Ing. During the last few innings OF
the game the Clemson boys seemed
TO lose hope and only struggled to
keep the score from mounting up.

Touching saiuda's Location.

SO1tlllDtd OCdIO.
In North Carolina a great conten-
ton has arisen between two cunties,
Polk and Henderson, concerning the
possession of Saluda, now lying partly
in both, and The Charlotte Observer
hobs up with a suggestion that the
people of the town be "allowedto vote
and choose whether it shall be wholly
within the one or the other county.
This is a matter with which The
Observer has nothing in the world to
do, but there is no harm in its sug-
question if the election be held next
August when the people of Saluda
shall be there to vote. The people of
S9luda are South C~arolinans. South
I~Carolinans founded the dear little vii
liage between the coddling and almost
over tapping hills, they built the town
and own most of it they, together
with a few Georgians and otherRhilis-
tines. Any interference on the part of
the North Carolinians would be gross

take advantage of it.
