COTTON MILLS
OPERATING IN
CLEVELAND COUNTY

Shelby, Jan. 25.-All cotton mills
in Cleveland county are again oper-
ating on full time with reduced
wages from 20 to 40 per cent. There
is better feeling among farmers
and business men as to the future
outlook, but farmers are swinging
on to fully $4,000 bales of cotton.
Less than half of the crop is unsold
and it is estimated that 1000 bales
will be left in the fields unpicked.
The Hamrick two story building
on West Marion street is nearing
completion and will be ready for oc-
cupancy by the middle of February.
The building is erected at a cost of
$4,000 and will be used for auto

ceived in Saluda. The book is a his
torical novel of the old South be-
ginning shortly after the War Be-
tween the sections and leadinp up to
recent date, and is study of the
negro of the old and new South
with many quaint sayings of that
race. 1t is also a character study in
novel form.

THE DEADLY FRUIT JAR.

To the sale of blind tiger whiskey
is ascribed by many the wave of
crime that has spread over the state.
"The fruit jar is becoming as COM
mon as weapon as the old six shoot
err" says the Abbeville Press and
Banner and probably rightfully. In
Laurens county, we believe, there is
less whiskey being made than in many
other counties, due in part to the dill
igence of our peace officers, and less
is being sold. A "crime wave," if
there is such, has not reached this
county, and may be explained by the
scarcity of the white lightning. De-
termined peace officers and stern
judges can reduce the crime wave if
they will, but after all, the will of
the people prevails. If the laws are
not enforced public sentiment is not
being brought to bear strongly "a
gainst it. There is no reason to de-
cry the sale of Intoxicating whiskey
if the people are afraid to speak out
against the officers who refuse to en-
force the law.-Laurens Advertiser.

THE HOSPITAL BABY FUND

Elsewhere we publish by request
a list of the contributors to Miss
Reep.s fund for the treatment OF
sick babies in this community. The
fund is to be expended on charity
cases, and in no case is it to be made
the source of profit to any individual!
or to any enterprise.
We are told by those who know
that the mortality among young ba-
bies is much greater than it should
be due to a want of proper treat
ment. Surely thise who are able
should be willing to help little in
the work of saving the helpless chill
dren born into the world who are un-
able to help themselves.
Miss Reep has some definite plans
for th;s work which she will announce
later. Until this is done she says that
a great deal more good may be done
if the subscriptions shall amount to
the thousand dollars which she origi-
nally asked for. Any reader of this
paper who has not already sent in a
dollar for this fund may still do So
The need is the same, and the call is
Just as urgent.

SOL ASKS FLIP

Col. Sol Rosenberg is an interest
ing talker at all times and this week
when a Press and Banner reporter
stopped in one of the four stores
with many departments and inquir-
ed as to the welfare of the country,
the Colonel told us the story of
Clip"
Clip" is colored boy about fiji
teen years of age who some years
ago wandered into the store and
asked for a job as delivery boy. He
was taken on as one of the force
and kept until che got so trifling l
had to run him up home," says the
Colonel. When he gets trifling at
home he comes back to the store
for a while but in these years Flip
has learned many things, among
them, how to cook, how to sweep,
how to put on a fancy apron and
wait on the table and he is a past
master in knowing how to be the
big boss wherever he hangs up his
hat. To illustrate this the Colonel
tells of going home for supper and
asking at the table for cup of cof-
fee and was told by clip" "you
can't have no coffee, it keeps you
wake at night" Mr.. Rosenberg in
formed the family in general and
Flip" in particular, that he would
have cup of coffee or he would
know the reason why" which
brought from Flip, "Mis' Octavia,
you the boss er this family, kin Mr..
Sol have a cup er coffee?"
"I would have killed him right
there" remarked the Colonel sadly,
eff I'd had my gun"
One of clips" recent exploits
was to get himself arrested, charg-
ed with stealing a pistol from one
of the neighbors. Mr.. Rosenberg
"paid him out" and went down with
the police to see him released from
prison. Flip come forth with Mr..
Rosenberg's best hat on his head,
his pistol in his pocket and two
movie tickets in his hand. He hur-
ried past his benefactor with the re-
mark, "Mr. Sol, I'm late for the
MOVIES" and cit a rag" for the
roost in the opera house.
clip" expresses the opinion that
"its a mighty heap of trouble for
Mr.. Sol to "King it" down at the
hospital"

Mat Pressly, negro who had

being that Mat was thrown out and
broken up in several places. She will
remain in the country until she is

VOTING IN WISCONSIN
(Florence Minis in Edgefield Ad.
vertiser.)

(Florence Minis in Edgefield Ad-
vertiser.)
The most interesting thing to me
because of its newness was the sys-
tenn of voting in the Legislature
and Senate of Wisconsin, the only
State using this system.
Above the. main floor, just at the
side of the gallery there is a buile-
tin board arranged with electric
lights in colors. At each desk there
are three buttons. Upon pressing
one of these buttons the legislator
declares his presence, for light is
flashed on the board beside his
name or number. This saves a
chorus of replies when the roll is
called. If any are absent, there is
the corresponding lack of a light on
the bulletin board. To vote aye OF
nay, there are buttons at each desk,
which flash on lights of certain
colors, by which it is easily .ascer-
tanned who is voting for. This i'm
pressed me as being very accurate
and efficient minus ovting. With one
glance the speaker can see the mum"
ber of ayes or nays by the number
of red or blue lights.

PARKER AND REESE

1t is getting to be the style now
to sell goods at one half, one-third,

to the old reliable, that they are
"giving away their clothing pre-
paratory to putting in a new stock
of new styles. They are telling all
about it in today's ,Pressand Banner.

A RARE OLD BOOK.

TOT HdHy years We HdFe HeoAo Va
the book "The Ensign of Liberty and
the Wicked One Revealed" written by
Samuel Jordan, a member of the
Cedar Springs congregation and a
Seceder of the old school.
Col. Pat Roche remembers every
thing that has happened in the coun-
ty in the past hundred years, so we
asked him if he had ever seen copy
of this book. He knew all about it,
had once owned copy and could
tell many interesting stories about
Samuel Jordan. However, he had
presented his copy to "his friend
Tommy Thomson" and had promised
him a bonus of a dollar if he would
read it through" Mr.. Thomson treas
ures the book but, so far, he has not
earned the bonus.
The book is a volume of two hund-
red and ninety six pages, divided in
to fifteen chapters under such head
ings as "The Policy and Plan of the
Government of England" "The Pol
icy and Plan of the Government Of
the Pope," "The Notification Party
in South Carolina" address to the
people of South Carolina, 'Notes, on
the oath of Allegiance" and kindred
subjects.
Mr.. Jordan was opposed to the War
Between the States and the book was
written to help stem the tide of Sc
cession. The story goes that he had
difficulty in getting the book pub
lished and that he carried out his
threat to buy a printing press and
publish it himself.
Mr.. Jordan jumps on the Catholics
and gives them 'hail Columbia
which was popular pastime a.
mong the Long Cane and Cedar
Springs PEOPLE in the olden times. He
says the qualification policy ''comes
nearer the policy of the Pope *
in taking away the power of the peo-
pie" than any policy ever introduced.
He tells about the tariff and gives all
the evils Of abolition,
"The Ensign Of Liberty and the
Wicked One Revealed" did not post
pone the conflict between the North
and the south, so Mr. Jordan, the old
folks tel us, conceived the idea of 4
personal interview with President
Lincoln. He hitched up his mule to =
single seated buggy and started for
Washins;o ;on, getting as far as North
Carolina when the news of the sur
render turned him about and start
ed him home again.
The book 4 something unique and
is highl. pr.z;:i by Col. Thomson. He
says he wG;lld not part with it for big
money '4'l :hat his friend Patrick
will have. to raise the bonus before he

AT CLEMSON COLLEGE

1t was only last year that there
was a great deal of talk of inefficien-
cy at Clemson College. The students
had decided that the faculty did not
know how to run the college and they
staged strike and walkout. The stu
dents had large ideas about what
they could do with the college, and
they were active for a little while in
undertaking to put their demands
into effects.
But the Board of Trustees knew
better. They met and told the stu
dents in no uncertain terms that the
Board and the faculty would run the
college. They found, as everybody
expected, that in the handling of a
large enterprise like Clemson Col
lege, mistakes are made, and that
some had been made at Clemson.
They announced that these would be
corrected but that the students would
be required to take their places in
the institution as students and obey
their superiors.
The results have been gratifying.
Clemson College has just sent out the
following report on the work done in
the first term of the present year:
"The records of ]. C. Littlejohn,
registrar of the college, show a very
interesting and creditable condition
among the students for the first term
of the present session. During the
term ZIG cadets or 81 percent had
no dement's on the military records
and 432 or 62 per cent had no more
than 20 dement's, thereby winning
places on the honor roll provided that
class work met the required stand
ards. Only six cadets exceeded the
term demerit limit"
Not only has the department of the
student body been good as shown by
this report, but the work of the stud
ents has been exceptionally good.
Only four students of the large mum.
Der now attending Clemson failed to
make the required marks for passing
i'm the first term. This too is fine
showing.
The friends of Clemson College,
(and it has many friends over the
State, not only among its graduates
and former students, but among the
people at large for whom it has done
and is doing a good work. will be
glad to know that things are moving
along So we'll at the institution. The
results vindicate the judgment of
the Board of Trustees that they are
able to manage the affairs of the in
stitution and that President Riggs
and his faculty are able to conduct
the sc.l01! 4 ong right lines.
TheI@ sGems to be, too, a better
colieg, F." amongst the boys. They
have S ID a first class manager
for a; IS, and there is determi-
nation to put Clemson at the head of
Southern Colleges in college sports,
EverynoHy will be glad to know this
