J. 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. 'They
were/the representatives of thirteen
cqjdnies, each of which had suffered

tion he has given in this difficult po
sition. , . • "
Since coining to Clinton~thc schools
under Mr. Wither.spoon’s supervision
have hade sub.slantial growth and
marked advancement in the scholastic
type of Vork done until today the high
school fanks and is rated by the Sou
thern Association of Schools and Col
leges as one of the .very best schools
in the South, ranking each year in
the top group with no criticisms filed
against its work. 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

Washington, June 29.—Congress to
day reached the end oflme fiscal year
w4th a record of having voted to spend
$8,200,899,773, most of it in the twelve
months ending June 30, 1936.
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

k Mr. Witherspoon vis an untiring
worker. 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. . '
