Friday, August 13, 1937 PASSING OF A GOOD MAN With u wad heart wo carry thin week tlm news wf the death of our b#Tovc<l frjend of long standing- Dr. Willlu.m Richard ('lyhurn. We have long held tho opinion and have often remarked, that suve those ' who are called Co the ministry, none other* Hive such liven of unselfish i!e voted service to humanity as do our physicians, and when we have made such a remark, >s e have always thought of Dr. Clyburn. W hile he was not ushered into tills world with a silver spoon in his mouth, Dr. (iyburn'p family was well to do, and had he so elec ted he might easily have gone to some large city and established himself as u specialist in some brunch of the practice, and have achieved wealth and fame with only a small part of the work and effort he actually put forth; hut he chose rather to work among, and serve, the people of his community and his county, and for nearly u half century his name has been a household word in thousands of homes In Camden and Kershuw county. He wvas a skillful and able physician. Many of the wealthy thought first of i>r. ('lyhurn when sickness came upon them; but thy poor people, those unable to pay, wore his especial care, and it is in the homes of these poor and needy where he will he so sorely missed. From tho horse unci buggy days down until practically tire time of his death, he might be seen at uny hour- of the night- miles from home Irr soure secluded and humble shuck, bending over tire bedside of soure poor unfortunate racked with pain or tossing with fever, or mayhap ushering a lowly-born infant into the world. Arrd when iris work was finished, returning serenely to his home without reward of hope of reward, probably to timi another cull to some bedside as far removed and as unprofitable from a money standpoint as the one from which he had just returned. This life he Jived?this service he gave? day after day?year after year?not with pomp or show, but as quietly uud as Inconspicuously as it was possible for him to move, i ..Not only were his time and talents given to the relief of tho suffering poor, but many, many times he gave the medicine which brought relief to those who without his generous goodness would not have found relief?and something else that few knew, and none dared mention to Dr. Clyburn? he bought with his own funds and carried food to those who because of want were unable to provide for themselves, or have provided for them, the things that they should eat. Ho didn't let his light hand know what bis left hand did, and ho would have been oil ended in any friend who inichi have (he temerity to commend him for his good deeds. lie was a quiet, unassuming man. shunning ul all times the glare of puhlu it\, but at the same time quietly wielding one of the largest influences tor good that this community and county has ever known. Many men sought his counsel, and his advice, when given, was ever after careful thought and mature deliberation. His home life was simple, beautiful and gracious. lie loved his family and he loved his Church and no one gave more generously to the Cause than he. Mankind's friend and benefactor, he is gone from among rj?. but be will live for years to come in the hearts of those for whom he so unselfishly lived, and we venture the assertion that over yonder his name Is written in letters of pure gold. Tribute To a Dog I had a dog; his name was King. Now i have but a memory of a faithful companion. Sometime in the lives of all of us, we have had friends to whom we were deeply attached, and when the association ended in the "Great Adventure" wo felt some remorse at the unkind words or remembered too late how we may have failed. Such is not my experience with my departed associate of many years, and that dlfTeronce lies solely in the life of a dog, who never fails you nor permits you to fail him. His moods reflect yours; he is a breathing oxample of sympathy and mute understanding. His welcome, after hours, days or months, was the refreshing clarion note of home-coming reception. And now, no longer will he trudge alongside In my lonely walks Rotary Notes |Sfi| J In- Rotary program on Thursday waH ill charge of "Hill" Hates.

Recruits Wanted For Navy " During the month of August, seventy young men flom lll0 staU,8 of North and South Curolina ure to be enlisted In the United Slates Navy as Upprentice seamen. Immediately after enlistment these young men will bo seut to the United Slutes N'avul Truining Station, Norfolk, Va., where they will receive twelve weeks instruction In Naval life und routine, before being ussigned to one of the ships of the United Slates Fleet for duty. W. A. Shriver, chief electrician's mate, United' States Navy, recruiter la charge of the United States Navy Recruiting Station, United States i Court House Huiidlng, Columbia, S. ( - ',aa announced that applications for enlistment in the United States1 Navy are being accepted every week day between the hours of 11 a. in. uud 4.30 p. m., excepting Saturday when the hours are from 1) a. m. to 1 p. m. THE GIRLS CAN HELP "Two young men and a girl, aged 1< to 111, were killed Instantly late last night returning from a dance, when their car crashed into a tree at a high rate of speed. The fourth member of the party is lu a critical condition in a local hospital." This news Item, .differing only in minor details, has appeared a thousand times, and in papers In every state of the Union. It reflects one of the most tragic phases of the automobile accident problem?the reckless drivers in their teens and early twenties. Out for a good time, they careen ubout the highways and byways?and at regular intervals death follows lu their tracks. Immature Uilnds regard it as au act of enviable bravado to "see what the old bus will do." In many cases the cars they drive should have been sent to the junk pile long ago?brakes are gone, lights are bad, steering mechanisms an* faulty, and tires arc down to the tabrie, ready lor blowouts. The larger part of the blame for .Kvidents that kill and maim young people must he put squarely on the shoulders of their parents. The fat litis and mothers w ho permit their children to endanger their lives with reckless driving, or are too lazy to Ilud out the true state of affairs, are, to put it kindly, derelict in duty. Kveu worse are the parents who, when their children are arrested for dangerous driving practices, move heaven and earth to have them freod without punishment thus, in effect, telling them to go out aud do it again. Hut youth itself, in the form ef the J young girls who go riding with their boy friends, can bo of the greatest assistance in reducing this toll by bestowing a bit of praise and showing admiration for the safe driver and simply refusing to ride with the reckless one?make safe driving the price of a date and watch said boy friend slow down. as In the years of 1931-32 and '33, In those unfortunate, dark days of the past when oach and every one felt the pangs of uncertainty and needed a guiding, unselfish friend. A fearless dog with the kindliness of Qod-glven cheer to me, and I sorely miss him. He was only a dog to the w'orld but a soul to me. Somewhere his spirit survives and porhaps, also, somewhere he is carrying on as an example of enduring faith in man and beast. Do you then wonder at my loss in his passing af ter years of such association? I Pay my humble tribute to him in the simple words, "Ho was my faithful King."?Louis A. Kramer, Philadelphia. ! 1 ? ? / ' AT l_EA8T 100,000 TO ONE LIGHTNING WON'T HIT YOU Atlunta, Ga., July 2#.? Dow lightnliiK give you the heebie-jeebie*?

Original Counties Of This State "\\ hat were the names of the counties of South Carolina as they were first laid off and designated In 1785?" was asked of Views and Interviews the other day.
