W. H. WALLACE
The members of the South Carolina
Pre.*s Association who knew W. H.
Wallace, for the past thirty-three
years editor of The Newberry Obser
ver, held a real affection for him.
As a newspaper man, he always pro
duced a paper that was clean and
fconest and his influence had a far-
veaching weight. As a gentleman, he
was quiet and kind, yet firm, cultur
ed and scholarly, and he always stood
four-square for the cause of right
eousness. His passing brings sorrow
to thousands who knew him, and
South Carolina has been called upon
to give up a' 'citizen whose upright
example of mankind will always live
and be cherished as worthy of cmula-
tion.
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
The Commercial Club of our city is
just now entering upon a new year
ef work and the officers named to
direct its affairs are" entitled to the
whole-hearted support of every busi
ness and professional man in the com
munity. Working for “Greater Clin
ton” is its motto and purpose, and an
organization with such aspirations will

may come together as a unit to ren
der assistance to any undertaking
iSiat is worth while. Inside this or
ganization all business interests in the
eommunity should be included. y
Clinton’s future is bright and in the
inarch of progress we are anticipat
ing the Commercial Club will be an
indispensable factor. All business
and professional men in the city not
now members, should join and go for

coming year. How can anyone with of The Spartanburg Herald; E. H
them as they go to their respective
places in life.
These young men, as well trained
in body and mind as they are, need
not think they know it all or that
there will be no obstacles. The roac
will be rugged, there will be plenty
of ups and downs, but their college
training should have sharpened them
to deal intelligently with these prob
lems.
The graduates are a mighty force
in the advancement of mankind if
they measure up to their opportuni
ties and make good. They are in a
position, better than any other set of
young men, to climb higher than
their fathers did. They should not
go out to display the learned matter
from the text books or lectures of
teachers, but to use their minds and
influence in dealing with whatever
problems of life they may be called
upon to face. The graduates, imbued
with this spirit, are an asset to any
nation and behind them lie the power
of the schools. They should receive
the hearty support of all who cherish
the welfare of every branch of aoti
vity.
To our P. C. graduates, The Chroni
cle extends congratulations, and the
sincere hope that this old sin-cursed
world will always be good to them.
Veteran Editor
Is Laid To Rest
Newberry Church Is Filled With Peo
ple At Ceremony. Newspaper
men Attended.
Newberry, May 18.—The Central
Methodist church here was filled with
people this afternoon during the fun
eral services for the late William
Henry WaHace, veteran editor of the
Newberry Observer, who died at the
home of his son, Dr. D. D. Wallace,
in Spartanburg last Friday after
noon. The body arrived by train at
3:46 o’clock and services were begun
in the church at 4 o’clock. At their
conclusion, the burial was made in the
Rosemont cemetery.
Rev. J. M. Steadman, pastor of the
church, in conducting the ceremonies
followed the solemn jrtiual of the
Methodist funeral service. He also
added a short eulogy to Mr. Wallace’s
life, prefacing his remarks with the
statement that it was unnecessary tc
speak of his useful life to people
among whom he had been known and
looked up to during the space of a
long lifetime. He did wish to tell
however, he “kaid, of Mr. Wallace’s
inauguration of a fund for the sup
port of aged ministers, and of th-:
fact that he had recently indicated his
desire to settle the. donation he ha(
obligated himself for because he be
lieved that he was soon to begin the
long journey to another world.
The South Carolina Press associa
tion honored the memory of the de
ceased editor by sending the follow
ing representatives to the funeral: J
Rion McKissick of The Greenville
Piedmont and president of the asso
ciation; C. 0. Hearon and P .H. Fike

• Edward Jackson, indorsed by the
Ku Klux Klan of Indiana, swept the
State for the Governorship nomina
tion. He got more votes than all five
of the other candidates put together.
Lew Shank, mayor of Indianapolis,
most important candidate against
Jackson and enemy of the Klan, was
wiped out 10 to 1.
This election is important outside
of Indiana, and indicates that the Ku
Klux Klan Ips gained rather than lost
strength, and will play an important
part in the coming national election.
An El Paso bank closes its doors,

in trouble and only saved by merging
with another bank.

WE HAVE WITH US AGAIN—
COMMENCEMENT
The commencement season—a time
that is always looked forward to and
enjoyed by our people^ is here again.
The exercises at the public schools
are now on, to be followed by the
college program, and later by the or
phanage closing. At all of these in
stitutions interesting programs have
been arranged, bringing into the
eommunity several distinguished vis
itors and speakers. These exercises
are always attended by large crowds
and it is right and good that they are,
for who can measure the value of
these institutions to the community.
Life in Clinton is just one delight
ful thing after another.

old days.

one. “But, Mike, we ain’t got $5,000,”
says the other.
“I know it, but ain’t it a good of

Ford offered to pay the Govern

of his lease, and he has the money.

some at the school exercises was lit

quite embarrassing. Finally a police
man had to be called to quiet matters
by his presence.
Such behavior should not be tolerat
ed for a minute and we trust there
will be no repetition of such conduct
during the approaching commence
ment season. The orphanage authori
ties are kind enough to allow their
auditorium for these public exercises
and in turn the public should show its
appreciation. Folks that can’t or
won’t behave should stay at home so
that those who do go out to listen
and to enjoy will not be disturbed.
In Presidential primary election of
Haverhill, Massachusetts, 693 men,
121 women, took the trouble to vote
out of 17,000 registered voters. Proud
Americans seem to lack interest in
politics. Had a trained champanzee
walked a tight rope stretched above
the principal street of Haverhill, on
primary day, beating a drum as he
walked,- all the 17,000 registered vot
ers would have been out to see that
champanzee.

There’s excitement in France about
the charge that soldiers’ bones have
been collected on battle fields by junk
dealers, ground up and sold for ferti
lizer. The idea is abominable to
many, therefore the official denial is
welcome.
But what better use could be made
of our “remains” than to fertilize the
earth when we are gone? To be
buried at the foot of a fine tree, with
a little brass tablet on the tr$e trunk.
“John Jones is proud to help this trea
