Will Not Lease Building.
"It is not the idea of the city council
to lease the new city hall auditorium,
said J.. H. Carroll, clerk of council, the
other morning. Council proposes to
rent the auditorium to local organiZa =
tions who desire to put on entertain
ments on a basis of twenty-five per
cent OF receipts from such enterc. in
ments. OF course, where the audito-
rum is desired for community meet
ings of a public nature. where no ad-
mission ch rye is made, there will be
no charge made for use of the hall"
Thinking.
Here" said one this morning, "is a
bit of verse that think is worth pass
ing along:
If YOU think you are beaten, you are.
IL you think you dare not, you don't.
If you'd like to win, but YOU think you
can't,
It's almost cinch you won't.
For out of the world we find
Success begins with a fellows will,
It's all in the state of mind.
II you think you're outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the one who thinks he can.
After the Agents.
1T would appear" remarked an OBJ
server yesterday. that number OF
the county legislative delegations in
their zeal to reduce county expenses
are going to do away with the services
of farm demonstration agents. For in
stance, / understand that the Green
vile county delegation has decided TO
make no appropriation this year for
the work OF the home demonstration
agent in that county. although it is en-
pected that they will continue the farm
demonstration agent. The Greenwood
grand jury recently recommended thai
the services of the home demonstration
agent and the farm demonstration
agent in that county be discontinued.
Afraid of Newspaper Men.
Toy Rhea, the genial assistant cash
Ter of the Peoples National bank in
Rock Hill, is afraid of newspaper men,
He said so himself the other day.
Asked what was new, when Views
and Interviews met him on the street
in Rock Hill the other afternoon, he
said smilingly:
Don't you ask me anything. I'm
afraid to talk to you newspaper men.
Some time ago talked to newspaper
man in an adjoining town and the next
issue of his newspaper contained an
interview based on what l had said.
And maybe l told him some things
should not have done, because that in
terview got me in trouble. Son, I'm off
newspaper men
Mr.. Rhea did admit that business ir
Rock Hill wasn't as brisk just now as
it has been.
Lobbyists.
The meanest feature in connection
with being member of the general as
Sembly," remarked a member Of the
South Carolina body the other day, lis
in dealing with the lobbyists and with
d. these fellows who are always seeking
jobs Around the capitol and in the
hotels in Columbia you are constantly
pestered and bedeviled by some smooth
fellow who is interested in this bill or
that and who seeks to get you to pledge
your support. These folks simply
hound the life out of you. Then there
is the fellow who seeks election to
some state job, honorary or pecuniary.
They flatter you and worry you and al
most make love TO you and keep at it
so cverlastingly and continuously until
you feel like kicking them. They have
all sorts, OF. ways of coming at you and
you are on the defensive all the time.
Being a. member of the general assem-
bly, isn't SUCH an easy job as one might
think" .rr...
