LOCAL AFFAIRS
The progress of a city depends to a
Irrge extent on whether the mass of
the people take an interest in the de
velopment of that city.
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.

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.
