Battle Of Factions

"Most of the voters of this state
detest both factions. They have
simply formed the habit Of thinking
they have to vote for one or the 9TH

purgative and binder. They seem
to think they must swallow one OF
the other. Each Injuries them, and
while they groan the ether states Of
the republic laugh at them and say
Poor South Carolina. God only

TRIES TO REACH
ROCKY BOTTOM
Easley Man Finds it impossible to
Reach Isolated Spet Lxeept
On Foot
C,ronnN.iIe News.

GrecGv;i.e News.
Easley. Sept. Rocky Bottom,
one Of the most Isolated spots in
South Carolina. came nearer being
explored this week than al Any tine
in years when a team Of mules &nd
a wagon was able 70 gey within one
nile of q spot that heretofore has
been considered Inaccessible TO aay-
thing bat foot travel.
2. ". Hutchinson, well known
merchant OF this city, accompanied
by Mrs. Hutchinson and MIR. and Mrs.
Arthur King. this week returned
from brief pleasure trip 20 the
mountains of this county. While in
the vicinity of Rocky Bottom Mr..
Hutchinson engaged a a1ouataineer
with wagon and teams 20 Conky the
party to Rocky Bottonp-or as near
there as, the team could go. Rough
as the trail was the team went five OF
tne SIX nile across the mountain but
the final nile the party had TO travel
by foot.
In justice to others who have fail
ed to reach Rocky Bottom except b.
foot, Mr.. Hutchinson stated that al
many points on the trip it was nee
essary for all Of the passengers to
get out of the wagon while even the
driver walked and held to the reins.
But one family. that OF Wayman
Aiken. lived in Rocky Bottom, the
nearest family being SIX miles dis
tant. Because the roads are SO steep
ali provisions carried to the Aiken
home are either gotten by foot or
on the back of an animal. 1t has prob
ably been a number of years since
vehicle Of any nature has ascended
to the Aiken home, the roads having
been largely washed away during the
past few years. The almost inlpas-
sable condition of the read or trail
caused the Hutchinson party to make
the last mile on foot, the animals and
team being compelled to halt.

HOW A BOY WORKS
AND GOES TO COLLEGE

Akron-Arnold Bennett once wrote
a book on "How to Live on Twenty
Four Hours a Day."
He would find an apt pupil in ia
cob V. Naugle, student at the Univer-
sity of Akron who has been getting
along OF about four or five hours of
sleep a night and spending the other
hours IN unique dual existence.
Arising at Z OF s O'clock in the
morning, Naugle is college student
till 3 in the. afternoon. He is a rub
Der worker from then till midnight.
Hurrying out to the Goodyear fac
tory he gets into his overalls in time
10, join the second shift and build
tires in the eight hour shift from
$50 till II 80.
Then home-but not to bed. Be-
tween IL and 3 he prepares his les
sons for the next day. After that
he's got nothing to do but set his
alarm clock and turn in for his well
earned rest.
Naugle has completed his first
three years of college under this
schedule and enters his senior year
this fall. The hard work and long
hours have not seemed to hurt him.
He has made good record in the
class room and is regarded as an ex-
cellent workman in the shop. He is
in first class physical condition.
The Naugle schedule provides for
everything but recreation. He has
no time for dances or class parties.
''Time for that in the summer time
or after I graduate, says Naugle. :
