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

Upprentice seamen. Immediately after

In Naval life und routine,
before being ussigned to one of the
ships of the United Slates Fleet for
duty.

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

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.
