DO SOME THINKING ABOUT THE
NEWSPAPERS
Edison R. Waite of Shawnee, Okla
homa, who is not a newspaper man but
a commercial secretary, couples the
newspaper with the upbuilding of a
city in the following manner:
Did you ever stop to think—
“THAT newspapers strive to please
and with your co-operation they will
succeed.
“THAT you should, swear by your
newspapers—not at them.
“THAT they are great boosters for
a city, and the better they are sup-
Wouldn’t it be a fine thing if the
bill collectors would form a unioi* and
go on strike?
Just think. A year front now we
will be on the eve of electing another
legislature.

The death of Mr. S. F. Vance was
the removal of one of Clinton’s land
marks. Mr. Vance was one of the
best known men in the town, a thor
oughly substantial and much liked cit
izen. He was escorted to the grave
by thirty veterans of the R. S. Owens
Camp, U. C. V.
here several years ago and was a stu
dent at Presbyterian college. The fol
lowing account of his death is taken
from an Atlanta paper:
“Rev. J. C. Rhodes, 37 yfears old, a
native of Georgia, died Wednesday
morning in Feriday, La. Mr. Rhodes
was well known in this * part of the
state, having a number of relatives in
Atlanta and College Park. He had
preached for some time in Rosewell
and in Stockbridge, Ga.

four small children, his father, J. E.

Greenwood, Feb. 24.—A. J. Sproles,
71, for 50 years a highly esteemed
resident of Greenwood and efficient
superintendent of the water and light
plant for 28 years, died at a local hos
pital early Thursday after an illness
of five weeks. The funeral services
were conducted Friday afternoon at 3
o’clock by his pastor, Dr. William
Vines, and interment made in Magno
lia cemetery.
Mr. Sproles was a native of Durant,
Miss., but came to this state as*a boy
with a younger brother, J. W. Sproles.
He located first at Donalds where he
was an apprentice in the tin trade
and later worked at Greenville and
Anderson. He was in business here
from 1877 to 1888 when he moved to
Newberry and lived there several
years before accepting a position as
traveling salesman. In 1889 he was
L'lOvted superintendent of the local wa
ter and light plan and served in that
capacity with great ability until he
was overtaken by illness five weeks
ago. He was past president of the
Tri-State ‘Water & Light association
and later was elected honorary life
president when the organization
broadened into the Southeastern as
sociation. .
Mr. Sproles is survived by his wi
dow, who was.Miss Janie Donald, of
Williamston, to whom he was married
in 1882, by one daughter, Mrs. Frank
Boland of Clinton, five grandchildren
and one brother, J. W. Sproles of
Greenwood.

Dr. Frank Crane Says—
NO NEED TO SEND THE DEVIL
TO MARKET
In a brochure recently got out at
Antioch college, Ohio, reference is
made lo the custom of the old-time
Shakers, who generally observed the
laws of Christian brotherhood, of
sending their most unscrupulous mem
bers out into the world to do their
trading. Hence originated the saying
that the Shakers always sent the devil
to market.
The.implication is that while Chris
tian living and principles were suit
able for ordinary affairs and in fam
ily life, they were not suitable for the
outside world. There yyq had to fight

A very common ,id$a is that those
people get along best in this world
who do not strictly adhere to the mor

enough to ($et along and yet not
crooked enough to fall afoul of the
law.
Those who are old and experienced
in this world’s dealing know the fal-
of this reasoning.
The 42nd anniversary of the First
Presbyterian church Sunday * school
was a great affair'. The beautiful
church building was filled to over
flowing. There were a thousand peo
ple present. The ushers were kept
busy. The day, as usual, was a beau
tiful one, not a cloud in the skies and
the weather was pleasant.
No untoward event occurred to mar
the occasion. Mr. Clajr Hays deliv
ered the address of welcome in beau
tiful style. Mr. Frank Whilden’s ad
dress was one of force and was care
fully prepared and worthy of the oc
casion. The city was full of people
who never reached the church. They
had come up for the baseball game
in the afternoon, and to hear Lieuten

“As it must to all men Death has
come to A. J. Sproles. After weeks
of pain and suffering he passed away
early this morning. And though the
passing means rest and relief to a
body long weary with pain it means
sorrow and grief to the community
which loved and esteemed him so high
ly, because it will miss so keenly his
presence so full of interest in others
and so loyal to all that was good and
uplifting in its life.
“It will matter little to him now
what we may say about his life and
services but it will be good for all of 1
us to acknowledge publicly the debt
which the community owes to him for
his life and services, his example of
civic responsibility, and his patience
and courage under any and all circum
stances.
. “Every citizen who knows anything
at all about this city knows how de
voted to and how competent Mr.
Sproles was in the task entrusted to
him, of active management of the
city’s water and light plant. He had
the aid and counsel always of good
business men as commissioners but
the taxing details were in his hands
and that he had been able through all
the years of his management to keep
the plant in excellent condition, en
larging it to meet extraordinary de
mands, and making it more than a
self-sustaining institution is a record
of public service not often to be found.
This is all the more remarkable when
it is remembered that he entered upon
