HARVEY WITHERSPOON The announcement that J. Harvey Witherspoon is not to be connected with the Clinton ^hopls a?'superin tendent for the coming year will be a aource of regret to hundreds of fath ers and mothers, and boys and girls of this community. Mr. Witherspoon came to Clinton fifteen years ago to accept the super- intendeney of the schools of this dis trict. Each year he has been re-elect ed in recognition of his faithfulness, competence and the general satisfac-grievances which its people could no dence were those in whom two ties of character predoniinated--^^fier mination and courage. As-B^‘amin Franklin remarked, wheiy^ called upon all of those present to affix their signatures to the Declaration: “If we don’t hang together we will surely hang separately.’^ They had no distinct idea of found ing a new nation, these signers of the Declaration of Independence.

Boys and girls go ing out from the^ school have- made, and continue to make, outstanding! records and win -distinct honors in the. colleges and universities of this and other states. No one who is informed has so much as hinted that the schools have been incompetently operated. Mr. W’itherspppn's successive, ad- longe.r boar, and each of which as serted its rights as a free and inde pendent nation. They could not win that independence except by acting in common; but on that Fourth ,of ministrations have been blessed'with an.uncommon equanimity. He i.s popu lar with ihe people, he is highly re garded by his teachers and pupils. He has run the system with, almost no friction. Graduates of the .school al- July, 1776, it is doubtful whether i^ny of them looked forward to anyth^g more than a temporary alliance for war. The idea of a united group of na tions as a permanent institution haj^. hardly been born at that time. From that little gathering in Phila delphia, however, has-arisen the rich est and most powerful nation the world has ever seen. There are many who are inclined to think that Americans take their own birthdays a^s a matter of cour.se, that the anniversaries lose their patriotic favor and that, reduced to the lowest common denominator, the Fourth of July which the nation observes today is merely for most persons a day on which they will not have to. work—a day on which to “lay off’’ and devote themselves to ease ahd'Tecreation. If that should be true universally Mrs. L. V. Pinson entertained a number of young people Thursday evening at a surprise party given in honor of. her niece. Miss Louella Watts of Mountville. Miss Dell Sumerel and Johnnie Aus tin were united in marriage on June 25th-, at the home' of the bride’s broth er, Ryland F. Sumerel, of this city.

At that the legislators had pruned $131,437,557 off the jtmounts original ly requested by President Rbosevett and the budget bureau. When the last gavel rc^s on the fi nancial year sounded in congressional halls, 10 appropriation bills were on the statute books. Two more were in the mill, and a third was due before adjournment. By far the largest already enacted, of course, was the $4,880,000,000 for work relief, which the executive branch is having trouble .spending. Next biggest was the measure mak ing $903^635,878 available for the treasury and post office departments. Around a third of that will be used to pay interest on the all-time record debt of $29,000,000,000. The administration’s effort to bol ster national defense accounted for another $260,682,549. To the wir de partment went $401,998,170; to the navy $458,684,379. _ Other bills already enacted* includ ed: state, justice, commerce and labor T Vi^jy D. E.

Hi.s whole- life has been wj-apped up in the .school system and its children. Faithfulness to duty has' alvvay.s been one of his outstanding characteristics, and this .spirit he has alway.-: insisted upon and received by those associated with him in the, train- inir^and dtaeloimient of the youth of this comnuinity. During his fifteen years of service here he has been ab- .sent from his job one day and that bt'cau.si' of absence from the city at tending his mother’s funeral.. In ^the betterment and enlargement of the school system Mr. Witherspoon p has always manifested a keen intereswfa Durirg his administration^gn.additipn- al white and Negro. scho'ol buildings have b^n provided to properly care for the fajui grow-ing enrollment of the district. He - has likewise given liberally of his time to the beautifi cation of the .school buildings and ground.^ as one readily realizes upon visiting the buildings or inspecting their premises. 1 Besides from his heavy duties as th« I directing head of a school district of nearly two thousand children Mr. Witherspoon has always taken an ac tive part in civic affairs and gives lib erally of his time in promotHig the community’s interests. In the Cham ber of Commerce, Kiwanis club and other organizations with which he is affiliated, and in tlie^urch, he is al ways faithful and ready to do his part, and do it well. As superintendent of the Sunday school of the church of his denomination, he has systematized, well organized and efficiently directed that department and here in this —sphere also has rendered helpful ser vices to a large groyp of children of this community. Knowing" his”Work for the -schools, and his true worth to them, The Chronicle does not hesitate to express Its appreciation of the -outstanding services rendered this community by Mr. Witherspoon. Neither do we hesi tate to say that he is a school man and administrator of the first calibre. ~ This ^ same belief that we hold is shared by thousands of"fathers and mothers who appreciate the conscien tious work he and his associates have done for the training and development of their children during the past fif teen years. _There is a genuine regret on the part oi many that his term of service witl\ our schools has terminat ed. ’The work he has done here will stand as a monument to him for many years to coffie regardless of what his ^tks may say or dq. does stand for a little of-that sort of thing,—#elief from the daily grind or the royal grind that the “mother of colonies’’ imposed on her children. No other nation in history was bom as ours'was born; no othei^'nation was dedicated to quite the ideals to which ours is dedicated;, and not other nation is following quite the path' that ours uj following. Unwittingly, our forefathers* did more than declare {>olitical_indepeii- dence on that hot July day in 1776. W'ithout realizing it, they declared the imlependen'ce of their descendants from other thing.s — from poverty, from war, from ignorance, from un remitting toil, from blindness of mind can conger-gate instead of at the citty hall and play checks, allso cards if the w. c, t. u. do not break their games up as they done on the sidewalk last year which was led by the ladies aid. there is some talk of getting a dog- race track on the outskirts of flat rock like they have in floridy. yore corry- spondent, nm. mike Clark, rfd, is push- jing this<enterprize, as he has 6 bugles and 4 hounds that he knows can out run anny other dogs in the country, he is counting on getting rich w’ith them, no rabbit has ever^ got away from them up tO‘ now unless he run into a hole or dumb a tree. there is some interest^in hoss-rac- ing, but this is not being, planned at pressent. a new.beer garding mought spring up anny niinnet within sight and spirit. To ^uch a goal, slowly andlof the boanling-house; that will be a painfully, but none the less surely, we re making our way. We are richer than any <fther people; we have more leisure, more time for recreation and enjoyment; and dimly we are begin ning to realize that thiq is making it possible fdr us to breed better, Ijiap- pier, stronger men-than other people. ^ppiness—perhaps there, after all, is the one word, that expresses our goal. Happiness that comes through release from material cares, through release from fear—fear of foreign ag gression, fear of domestic discord or fear of poverty—happiness that comes from perfect freedom and perfect self- command. We have not reached this yet. Not by many, many years of struggle. But we are heading toward it. It is in front of us—shining a beautiful vis ion, drawing us on forever. And so, .^we repeat, the average American is wiser than he knows when he makes Independence Day a day of recreation and rest. His action symbolizes the freedom and leisure that the American^ more-than anyone else, enjoys. . ' iSk.
