The outlook is that ice famines

Greenville has at times been to
some extent troubled with in the
past, is to be a trouble unknown
in the future.
The Greenville Ice Company,
Hill Johnson proprietors, is in
stalling an ice plant that will
meet the demands for ice in
Greenville until the town grows
considerably larger than it is.
The plant is located near the
transfer tract connecting the
Atlantic Coast Line Norfolk
Southern tracts near
junction of the two roads.
The Reflector reporter visited
th plant and
prised to fine it one of such mag-
and so complete in its
equipment. Mr. Hill showed us
through the plant, and with Mr.
C. H. Smith, of Philadelphia,
who is here for the York
Company installing the
machinery, explained the parts
and working of the plant.
The freezing side of the plant
is furnished by the York

the other machinery by Sullivan

he ran up to the mail car to hand

president in 1884, a prohibition
candidate for president was
placed before the people also.
His name was St. John. Pro-

means as strong then as was
in 1908 and there only one
lone man in the whole of
to cast a vote for this
Stanley Parker.
Some of Mr. Parker's friends
laughed at him for being the
only man in the county who
wanted prohibition and he said
something like this, I
should have voted for him if I
knew I was the only man in the
United States, because
is what I

Through all the livelong day;

But, says some one. we must
have a certain amount of
trained and uneducated labor to
shovel dirt and drive mules, and
milk cows. I deny it I tell
you rather that there is no task
under heaven which an
gent man cannot do better and
cheaper than an unintelligent
man. We need no
rant labor. Farmers in the
South have grown poor hiring
the ignorant to take one
mule plow an acre of land a
day three or four inches deep,
but farmers in Iowa have grown
rich by paying several times as
much to an intelligent white man
to take three horses and plow
four acres a day six to eight
inches deep.
We must educate and train all
our people. We must increase
the efficiency, intelligence, skill
and energy of our average man.
The man, white or black,
whose efficiency is above par is a
help, and the man whose
is below par is a hind-

frame a scheme of education and

of the way to the
white immigrant. We must either

Better a million acres of unfilled

To help forward every agency
that looks to increasing the

the supreme duty of men who
would rebuild the South; and the

is the most efficient agency ever
devised for this purpose

The world owes nothing to the

extremes is the history making
maps. There are too many re-
placed on the
teacher. The home ought to be
responsible for domestic training
of the boys and girls not the
schools. Girls should be taught
to cook and to sew by their
mothers. The boys should be
taught to plow at home, for
there he comes in contact with
nature and learns her lessons.
The people must either out
more money in educational mat-
or do part the training at

to have such a man preach in our
church and our community.
