SHfPBUILDING INDUSTRY

A combination of developments in
the shipbuilding industry that have
forged to the front within recent
months have given rise to consider.
able optimism and have served to
brighten the outlook for the ensuing
year, says Clarence Samuel King,
secretary of the Atlantic Coast Ship
builders Association, in an article
published in the current issue of the
Association Bulletin.
Exclusive of large repair con-
tracts and port development plans
recently projected" says Mr.. King,
"new vessel construction bids for
which have not yet been opened but
which are definitely contemplated
are reported to aggregate an eNpen-
diture of approximately $4,000. 900"
Mr.. King states that although
1921 was lean year for shipbuild-
ers it should not be overlooked that
all major industries have suffered
proportionately, and while there is
little pleasure in suffering even in
good company tits gratifying to note
| that the dcarth of shipbuilding con
tracts has been due TO general re-
cession in world trade and rot to
faults inherent in the industry itself.
Busy times are just around the
corner" says Mr.. King, and to jus
tify his optimistic forecast reference
3 is made to-the idle ships now in our
ports which will need much repair
ing before being placed in service. He
also points out that We are greatly
in need of fast passenger ships to
balance our fleet of cargo carriers.
In addition to these favorable
signs Mr.. King directs attention to
the motorship and its possibilities for
profitable development which will be
sure to react favorably on the ship
yards of tho country.
Taking things by the large" saya
Mr.. King, Eve are safely across the

News From Red Oak Grove.

The death of Mrs. Zelphia Thur
mond on the 9th of January, which
occurred in Augusta at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. Arthur Dorm,
caused profound sorrow throughout
the entire community. She was a de-
vout Christian woman, and a most
intelligent Bible student. Her life was
a most useful one, not only to those
of her own household, but her noble
traits being blessing to all with
whom she came in contact. In 1891
the Woman's Missionary Society of
her church was organized, she being
selected as president, which position
was filled to the very best of her abil-
ity, always liberal to its welfare, and
up until her health failed, she was at
her place regularly. Last August she
in her humble, Christ-like way, made
very impressive talk to the ladies
thanking the society for the many
years of cooperation and the sisterly
spirit that had prevailed during the
period since her health could not ad-

nit of her presence regularly. 1t seem
ed real joy to her heart to be per-
mitted to say these things to those
whom she knew she must soon leave,
entreating the continuance of the
work, while at times the way might
seem hard, she said Gods grace was
sufficient for all our needs. The con-
clusion of this last service with US
was most earnest prayer for the W.
M. u. and especially those Of her
church, mentioning each organiza-
tion.

example is truly worthy of emula-
tion, therefore, to think upon it is
nothing but looking upward all the
while, and the Master speaketh
"Well done, thou good and faithful
servant. The remains were brought
to Red Oak Grove to rest beside her
husband who preceded her several

1t is with exceeding regret to this
community that we give up Rev. W.

Banks in Aiken Lose to
Forgers.

Aiken, Jan. 13.-A trick which was
practiced recently on banks in New
berry and Spartanburg was worked
on three Banks Thursday, namely,
the Bank of Western Carolina, the
First National and the Farmers G.
Merchants.
The sum of S76S.9O was secured
by forgers, who had laid their plans
we'll, having cut telephone wires to
aid their project. Of the amount
$294.6O was secured from the First
National, $4,000 from the Farmers
& Merchants and 1882 from the Bank
of Western Carolina.
At each bank two young men ap-
peared, and one of them, with lint
cotton on his clothes, presented a
check from George E. Owens, a local
cotton buyer, signed "per L. E. Eu-
banks" son-in-law of Mr.. Owens,
who as general thing signs Mr.. Ow-
ems business checks.
The checks were for amounts of
several hundred dollars more than
was withdrawn by the young man,
was informed the cashier of the Far
mers and Merchants bank that he
wished to make deposit. He said his
mother had recently purchased a
farm near town and that the bank
had been recommended as being
good.
At the First National he, did the
same thing. The cashier at the West
ern Carolina handed over the money
for the check. These checks overdrew
slightly the account of Mr.. Owens
and this is when the discovered for
gerry took place. The police wire was
also cut. The names used as payee
on the checks were E. P. Gaines, Will
liam Willis and Arts Wilson. The
forged signature was extremely hard
to detect. Police authorities have
been notified of this and tracers are
being sent far and near.

Liberty Teachers Indignant
Over NO Dance Order.

Greenville, JAM. 11.-"Grand-
mothers" put in your applications in
time to fill the vacancies left by the
frivolous and frolicsome teachers,
who can not resist the call of youth
to dance.
This is a statement, in a reply
which number of teachers at the
Liberty Public Schools issued today
to throw some light on their attitude
toward the resolution adopted by the
board of trustees that the teachers
here shall not participate in any more
dances.
The teachers said the resolutions
were wholly unnecessary, that only a
request would have been necessary,
considering the cooperating corps of
teachers. They declared that it would
be impossible for the Liberty teach
ers to be "frolicsome," as there are
no recreational centers at Liberty,
town of several thousand popula-
tion.
eve feel that wholesome amuse-
ment is necessary in a well-rounded
life, knowing the truth of the old
quotation: All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy said the
teachers, who added that, "if the
Liberty teachers become dull, it will
be lack of play rather than the over
abundance"
The teachers said the action bar
ring them from dances had its incep-
ton at a meeting called by Superin-
tendent /. N. Foy, at which resolu-
tions were read that "no dancers or
otherwise frolicsome teachers need
apply"
They say that the mothers and
brothers of several of the dancers
were chaperones and that they know
of but one instance when the dance
continued o a reasonably late hour.

Trenton Members of Growers
Association Enthusiastic
Marked Interest
Shown.

Trenton, Jan. 16.-The Asparagus
Growers Association of South Caro-
lima, which met at Williston on JAN
uary 10, was largely attended by the
growers from Trenton. The members
report it the best meeting they have
ever attended, both in numbers pres
cnt and in the fine spirit of coopera-
tion manifested.
AS matter of fact the association
had its conception at Trenton during
the life of Senator Tillman, who first
planted the asparagus in this neigh
Dorhood, and who helped the younger
growers to get together and form
themselves. into an association for
handling and selling their product.
Progress has been made from year
to year, the package in which the as
|paragus is shipped being made more
attractive and a uniformity of grad
ing attained to a good degree of per-
lection. The asparagus growers do
mot, however, believe they have yet
reached the degree of perfection in
either pack of salesmanship which
is possible or desirable. A strong eff
fort will be made this year to put out
even better and more attractive
pack than ever before, and there
is manifest a tendency to want to go
into the market through the associa-
tons own men as statesmen.
Mr.. Kitchens the newly elected
president of the association, will re-
ceive the heartiest cooperation of the
Trenton growers, and with long,
strong pull together better results
for those who have asparagus to offer
is undoubtedly obtainable.
