Clirton cv.es a great deal to Mr. Young, much more, we suspect, than the average citizen of Clinton appre ciates. Mr. Young as a business man dem onstrated remarkable judgment and clear vision. He was an untiring work er and hejoved success, not only for his own personal interests but for oth er people as well. He easily ranked gs one of the most successful farmers and bu>iness men in the county, yet this material success and wealth to no | ‘ acr0 ss. degree militated against his genial 1 and sympathetic disposition; his per sonality was of the democratic, thor oughly free and easy-going type. It was the writer’s privilege to num ber Mr. Young among his intimate friends. 1 Hardly a day passed that he did not drop by our office and we al ways enjoyed his visits-, and conver sation. A man of sound judgment, we frequently sought his advice and it was always conservative and helpful. In his hem? his friends were always cordially received and he was big- hearted and kind towards all. He lov ed and enjoyed his friends and he was as true as steel in his friendships. He wap devoted to his neighbors, his home and life companion, and was always rich in sentiment and deeply affec tionate. HiP cheery greetings and hearty handshakes will be missed. He was a man of his word and a man whose word “was as good as his bond.” There are many who loved Mr. Young and whose joy it will be while life ■ lasts to keep his memory green and fragrant. It is almost impossible for anybody to land in the gutter any more, not because of prohibition, but because seme other fellow has already laaded there. What this country needs isn’t more freedc m but more free parking space. The men who laid out our towns cer tainly didn’t provide for the automo bile. They should have made four curbs on ev%ry street; and why all the houses? Nobody 'stays home any mere. Home is just a place to go to get money for gas. Home is just a place to go to start from.

About the cnly read that isn’t jammed on Sunday is the road to church. There is plenty of room to park in the pews, but nobody ever thinks of that. But everybody ought to own an au tomobile, or at least have one. Or else hire a taxi. We spend more for taxis now than our fathers did for taxes, and nobody complains that the taxes aren’t high enough. But it is hard to see how our forefathers got around—perhaps that is the reason Exchange. Dr. Frank Crane Says— that they have suffered tne irrepara ble loss of so valuable a friend and member. As we think of the life of George W. Young, as we contemplate the scarcity of his words and the great quantity of his deeds, we can all as journeymen in this world below well benefit by those immortal words. “Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and de parting leave behind us footprints on the sands of time.” Respectfully submitted.

Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, famous preacher, warned his congre gation in New York on a recent Sun day, that the present generation wor ships bigness too much, and it depends too much on external things. He thought that real civilization had not progressed \ery much since the time of Washington, and he remarked that many lathers buy the machinery of the home and oil it with money and expect it t lasis. Not ail will agree with Dr. Fosdick that civilization has not progressed much since Washington, but the phil osophers would say that people de pend too much on the things that mon ey can buy. and too little on their own personal qualities. work, but it won’tj on that HEARTS ARE HEADING UP-STREAM When Bishop McIntyre stood on the Canadian bank of Niagara Falls he 1 said that everything in the universe ' seemed to be going down. Yet a clos er scrutiny revealed the little steamer “Maid of the Mist” going up. Pessimists tell us that everything and everybody is going to the dogs. We have the authority of the ralists and the gloomy philosophers that things are getting worse and worse. Yet somehow the world seems strug gling upward. It has made much improvement in the last eighteen hundred years or so and it is liable to make more in the next few* years. The stream of traffic on Broadway is ceaseless, but occasionally a police men raises his hand and the traffic- stops while he leads a little child or an old woman in safety from curb to curb. The newspapers are filled with ac counts of murderers and all sorts of crimes until it seems that the country is afflicted with a crime wave, but every once in a while you hear of a kind deed done by somebody who is not at all afflicted with crime motives. Doubtless there are many k\nd needs not recorded a^l through the world. Many hearts are going up stream. It is pretty hard on them at times and the struggle is pretty severe, but taking all in all the company of those who are struggling to make the world better is considerable and they have the cosmic laws in their favor. Whoever does what is right may be peculiar, but he belongs to a long line of beneficent forebears. He may know that his labor is not wasted.

The Kiwanis club had another good meeting Thursday evening with a full attendance. The club had as its guests, four young men from the college, J. W. O’Neal, W. C. Dendy, H. G. Prince and G. D. Rowe. The entire program was given over to these young musi- sians and they presented a clever pro gram.

Dick Moorhead of the famous Jo anna community at Goldville, was in his chair after an absence of several meetings. He was given the “glad hand” of welcome and responded with , a short talk. Dick referred to the loss Goldville had sustained in the death of M>3. Hack and spoke in the nighest terms of her work and ^ orth to their mill village. He further an nounced 1 that through Mr. Hark, head j of the Joanna cotton mills, he had been instructed on Thanksgiving of each year to present the Thomwell orphanage Of this city with one thous- : and yards of eighty-eight inch best grade sheeting with the compliments of the mill. This announcement was heartily applauded and welcomed by the club. A committee was appointed to send resolutions or sympathy to Mr. Hack and the family of the de ceased. The members of the club were urged to attend the meetings and take an active interest in all of its work.

But people are terribly jestless, a:.d they hate to sit down for quiet thought and discussion. The re- rul tis that many evils are obtaining a strong hold in every community, people are so busy ani occupied, that they will not give time and thought to the problem of overcoming these defects. We ^re living altogether too fast and the human race is paying for It. ' AUTOMOBILEITIS There are so many automobiles in the United States that everybody in the country could get in and take a jide, if there wasn’t something the matter with the ignition or something. On the average every family in the ci determination. Such was the influence of George W. Young, a fellow-citizen, a comrade, a deep sincere friend, whose quiet un assuming life had a very profound ef fect in bettering the lives of those with whom he came in contact. He lived a life that did not preach, but practiced in truth the deepest princi ples of friendship, brotherly love, of right living, honest dealings and fair play. He was a man whose words claimed nothing for himself, but whose deeds earned for him the re spect, esteem, love and confidence of all his fellowmep. As a business man he always exem plified that perfect type and persist ently practiced principles of the Gold en Rule, “Whatsoever therefore ye would that men should do unto you, do ye also unto them,” and thus he as a citizen had opportunity of teaching many Rotarians how to successfully school which has as its central teach ing the constructive idea of “building” j —Kiwanians are taught to shoulder responsibility, not to crawl under life’s | tent; for the only way to enjoy the show is to pay your way. To enjoy i Kiwanis is to pay your way—“Pay* in . Service.” Just before the meeting closed Dick Moorhead took the floor and cordially ; invited the club to hold its next meet-1 ing in Goldville at the Joanna Inn ‘ which is efficiently managed by Mrs. | White. He stated that immediately after the dinner, the Kiwanians would be carried through the mill “in action at night,” as well as other places of interest for an inspection and to gain information as to the enormous devel opment that has taken place in Clin- ton’s thriving suburb during the past two years. The invitation was quick ly and unanimously accepted for next Thursday evening, the regular meet ing date, and the hour of 7:30. ‘ A special effort is being made to have a 100 per cent attendance for this meet ing. President Dillard announced that Butler Boyd would preside and have charge of the Goldville meeting. A dandy good time is in store for the fel lows. Let’s get our plans made now and be “sitting pretty” for the invas ion of Goldville next Thursday even ing at 7^0.
