L he Salarled women uSu-
ally goes to picture shows
regularly.
She is a toiler. And her
toll has to be balanced by
a certain amount of
amusement and recrea-
ton.
These she finds in the
motion picture-and at a
price which she can at
ford to pay.
Science, Travel, News,
Story, classic Drama and
diverting Comedy-these
she finds in the motion
picture, together with the
romance which is dear to
her woman's heart and
the inspiration demanded
by her woman's soul.
So the salaried woman is
what she laughingly calls
herSelf-a movie FAM
But never until now has the
salaried woman had any
solid sort of chance to get in
on the profit side of the mo-
ton picture business.
The FROHMAN AMUSE-
MENT CORPORATION now
gives her this opportunity, at
the same time making it safe
and easy.
The salaried woman is well
represented in the ownership
of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
the United States Steel Cor
poration, and other great in
dustrial companies. She is a
mighty factor in modern
business. Will she leave the
vast and growing motion pic
ture business out of her cal
culations for personal profit?
She will NOT!
The Frohman Anuse-
ment Corporation claims
the honor of being the
first among the standard
motion picture companies
to Systematically and
publicly recognize the
right of the Patron to
have a share of the Profits
of the Screen.
All this is fully explained
in a certain BOOK called
''THE E FROH NJ A n
PLAN" which is regard
: ed by business women
generally as one of the
most interesting books
that has ever fallen into
their hands.

MUST CONSERVE WATER
SUPPLY FOR THE PRESENT

Superintendent Schumpert has in
formed me that because Of short
age in the present supply of water it
will be necessary to forego the use
of the street sprinkler until the wa
ter supply is increased. Water for
drinking and household purposes
comes first, of course, and we must
keep sufficient amount. of water in
the standpipe for use is case of fire.
At my request, Mr.. Schumpert in
vestigated the matter of securing wa
ter for street sprinkling purposes
from SCOTS creek, and he is of the
opinion that this can be done. I ex-
pect to take up the matter with the
aldermen at the meeting of the coun-
ellis tonight, and hope that within the
next few days we may be again using
the street sprinkler.
The water situation at this time is
not alarming, but it is well to be on
guard. Our people should refrain
from wasting water. / trust they
will cooperate in this matter and be
patient especially as to the sprinkfing
of the streets.

IMPORTANT MEETING
NEWBERRY COUNTY POST

There will be a meeting of the
Newberry county post of the Amerl-
can legion on Thursday at $3.50 in
the old court house. J,
In addition to many important de-
tails to be arranged for the COM
mencement dance which the post
will give next Tuesday night in their
quarters there will be action taken
on the matter of the South Carolina
legion withdrawing from the Ma
tional association.
AS was stated in the Sunday pa
pers the national executive commit
tee has pushed the bonus legislation,
which is in direct opposition to the
wishes of the national convention
which left the matter entirely up to
congress. At none of the national
executive meetings have the South
Carolina members been invited and
such action naturally causes resent
ment on the part of the legion of this
state.
I hope that all members will at
tend this meeting, for delegates will
be elected to attend the State con-
vention which meets in Spartarburg
on June Is, at which time action
will be taken on the matter of stay
ing in the national association or
withdrawing.

RUTHERFORD DISTRICT TO
VOTE EIGHT MILL TAX

Rutherford school district was one
of the first in the county a good
many years ago to vote special tax
for the support of the school and a
special act of the legislature was
passed making it special district
and Mr.. Thomas ". .sXeitt taught the
school and it was 5ne of the best
schools in the county.
The school was ;aught the past
year by Miss Mary Brown assisted by
Miss Sease and there was a good
school and az enr 5llment Of about so.
But in orderSe1pay the salary fixed
by the state there is necessity to
raise more money and in order to get
the state and there is necessity to
vote four more mills tax. The dis
trict already has a four mill tax. At
a picnic held in the grove at Mr.. Mon
roe Wicker's residence just below
the school house on last Friday the
patrons and friends of the school and
citizens of this good community de-
cided to ask an election to vote the
additional four mills and the neces-
sary signatures were received on the
spot.
Not only so but there was sub
scribed by private subscription more
than s700 for new building and
there are Others who were not seen
who make the private subscriptions
for this purpose around $1,40o. Thct
is the right spirit.
At the picnic on Friday Mr.. T. M.
Mills made short speech on the
subject of improved schools and then
introduced C. M. Wilson, DIR. G. T.
Wyche and E. H. Aull all of whom
spoke on the school problem and
when the speaking was over the Pc
tition to ask the election was circu-
lated by Trustee -J. A. Sease and
the. requisite number of signatures
secured on the spot to order the
election.
And the tax will be voted and
there will be adequate money to IN
sure good school and to pay COM
petent teachers.
