A great many poonle don’t srem any more interested in the suggest ions made for the auvance of their home town than if they were hearing about such ideas for some place hun dreds of miles away. And there are some in Clinton who feel that as citizens they are affect ed by every good propositior for com munity development, and they are eagerly watching si.ch movements .md discussing their pros and cons. They rightly realize that when a city de velops, it helps everyone who has a job or owns property or a business there or who var.ts to find w« rk there. We are all tied together as members of a community where we have a lot of identical interests, and if we will talk in favor of those interests and keep watch of their progress and as sist, we shall all be the gainers.

C. rrv. A GOOD MAN FOR THE PLACE With the matter of Dr. Douglas go ing to the University of South Caro- l’’na definitely settled, speculation : row exists as to who will succeed him to the presidency of Presbyterian Col it ge. While no definite announcement has been made by any one connected with the selection of a successor to Dr. Douglas, several names have been ir-iormally suggested by leaders of the denomination. It is now expected that the board of trustees will meet heie within the next few days to ac cept the resignation of Dr. Douglas and turn its attention towards the problem of finding a suitable man for the place. Dr. Douglas having ex pressed his desire and intention to go to Columbia in January, no delay should be experienced in selecting his successor and the sooner he is on the ground the better for all interests con cerned. The problem before the board of trustees is one that will require thoughtful and intelligent considera tion and no hasty or uncertain action should be taken. The position so ad mirably filled by Dr. Douglas is one ol the most responsible in the Pres byterian church and calls for a man of unusual attainments. First and foremost a leader to heal a church college should be a deeply spiritual- minded man and give to the inst.tu- tion a religious atmosphere. He should be a young man and possess scholarship and personality that will draw and hold friends for the college.

He is naturally a leader of young men and this admirably fits him for the position.
