Dr. Young read a statement saying he felt highly honored in being'placed at the head of the government of the city ' find that it will be hts aim to give the town of Clinton a fair and impartial administration, coupled with progress and law enforcemejjt/' His statement jfollows: [To Members of City Council: I “I have just a few remarks to make which 1 trust you will accept with ear nestness a?id sincerity, I wish to state I that I am delighted and happy to rep resent the city of Clinton as mayor. “I am delighted and happy to know that 1 have a set of councilmen that i are capable and efficient. In offering myself for the office the most encour aging anl inducing thing was that,' should I be elected I would have a j council that I believed I could work in i harmony with. I realize that we will have our differences; this is natural| and expected, but so long as we are j friendly, unselfish and honest \ye can! always arrive at a satisfactory solu- i tion. , - ‘*I am noTUnmindful that I am suc-i ceeding a departed friend and mayor] whose policies he hai recommended | and which vou Editor, The Chronicle: Having received many compliments by letters and post cards from my old friends , round and about Clinton, where I and Tamily resided 17 years, I desire to return thanks to each and all who remembered me on my 90th birthday. Yes, I came into life and light on this stage of action Feb. 4th, 1839, being bom within one mile of the old brick mansion. Cross Keys, Union county, S. C.—the dear old state, my home, the home of my ancestors, and numbers of their progeny. Many of them still residg in Union and Lau rens countys. The Bishops, Barnettes and Grays are of the blood of our great grand sire Bishop, who came from Fairfax county, W., and set tled in Union county, near Cross Keys, S. C., and fought with the patriots for freedom and liberty in the Revolution of ’75 to ’83. The Bishops are not not ed for wealth, statecraft, official rec ords or society grandees. But I have never known one of them to fail to respond when their 4:ommon country called for action in the defence of her rights and liberties. And this is not to ooast of, but a record of duty that every American citizen should be tru ly responsive and faithful to. Defend the heritage that our fathers left to us at so great sacrifice of life,,blood and extreme privations of_ food and ■ clothes. But for the intervention of God. the Supreme Ruler of all His created universe, with only three m'l- lion all toll against the greatest em pire or nation on earth, what chance or hope, phys’cally or nationally, did our fathers have to continue the struggle for seven long j^ears. “In God We Trust”—see these sacred words in bold, rai.sed letters on our federal-coin. •And is it true? Do we, or do we not, trust ip God? ’Tis written in Sac’vd Word, “Woe to that nation ^vho for gets God.” This \pentence has pro red true in all*histor5*ifrom ancient Baby lon down thrcu.;-h the ages to this present date. See Ro k of Samuel— one of the true prophets of G'.i. He revealed to Nebuchadnezzar his last dream, and wl^ should follow down through the ages fo this dur day and tiipe. Yea, present evidence boldly de- ilares that the world has come to the latter day accoriipg to Daniel’s pro phecy. (See—“Man shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increas ed.”) Truly this is now—wonderfully evident of fulfilling God’s word tjirough His faithful prophet in and of the long ago. Now, lest I weary your patience or impose upon your time and engage ments, I will conclude. With kind memories of the eleraal past, my heart’s desire is to thank each and all old friends and associates of the dear old long ago . that they still remember me, and I hope ere long I shall visit the dear old state, my home, agrain, Clinton included. I have received no less than 150 let ters and post cards with congratu- ' lations and kind sentiments on my I n^al dey, all of which I do appreci- I ate. May Go-i bless each and every j one now and ever more. And let us I hope and strive to meet together in j the promised land in the sweet bye and bye. I am, with many thanks and heart felt appreciation. Truly, James T. Bishop. 311 Napier .-Ave., Macon, Ga. ‘ the following men were accorded let ters in basktball: Orell Dunlap, Jimmy Green, Knox W'yatt, Manager Lati mer, and Marvin Snipes. Those en titled to wear stars in addition to the letter are: Bill Adair, Mac Adair, Phil Roberta, Lonnie Dunlap, Bobby Cald- lyell, and Mason. Instead of having a football ban quet, the decision was in favor of ha"^ ing a gigantic banquet at the of the year for all thi Iblock-letter men. This is a fine feature for the social p^gram of the year, and it is expect ed that It will be made an annual af fair with much the same rating as the Pan-Hellenic and Junior-Senior ban quets.
