Four pay days has January, and
that is the month Christmaa billa
come due.
MT. CARMEL, Dec. 31.—When
every heart was happy and glad
with the joy of the coming Christ
mas our joy was turned into
mourning and grief when the news
of the tragic death of Mr. Robert
Boyd, which occurred in an Atlanta
Hospital early Monday morning,
reached us. Mr. Boyd was fatally
injured by the reckless driving of
a motorist in Atlanta Sabbath
night and in the early morning
hours he peacefully passed away.
Mr. and Mrs. S. T. Russell were at
his bedside.
He was the youngest son of Mr.
and Mrs. J. W. Boyd and was an
; honorable upright conscientious
young man, with many noble traits
of character. He had made his
home in Atlanta for several years,
where his bright cherry smile and
winning ways had made a host of
friends.
Just in the prime of a glorious
young manhood and life seemed so
bright, happy and promising, it is
hard, oh, so hard to give, him up
and say “Thy will be done.”
In early life he united with the
A. R. P. Church in Mt. Carmel and
has always been loyal and true to
his church and his God.
THE TOWN DOCTOR
\;
DOCTOR OF TOWNS SAYS:
THINK—IT WONT HURT YOU ANY!
Thomas Edison once said, “The American people will go
to any extreme to avoid the necessity of thinking.”
Notwithstanding that fact—think! This is the time of
times to think. This week a year passes into “what used
to be.” It’s through; it’s gone, and it will never return.
Manv. mnnv things were accomplished in the last 12
months, but that’s ancient history. There are a lot *>f
other things you could have done—that’s ancient historv.
too. It Irn’t what vou did or didn’t do in ’29—it’s what
you are to do in 1930 that counts now.
And what are you going to do—same as in 1929? If you
do. you going to go against every law* of progress. If
~.ou don ,f '•hrnge. you will bo through—not all at once, to
be sure, but you can’t go forward standing still, and if you
don’t do better in 1930 you’ll be where you were in ’29, and
that’s standing still—or going backward.
This reads like a sermon. It isn’t meant that way. It’s
just my peculiar way of leading up to this—
If. in ’29. you sort of went back on McCormick; if you
leaned back with any of your 100-worn-out alibis and let
the other fellow do the work; if you sat in the car while
•tfie other boys changed the tire; if you let some fool petty
jealousy keep you out of the Chamber of Commerce or
Lions Chib; if you turned sour because everybody else
couldn’t see things as you did; if you acted up like a
school kid. and wouldn’t play at all, and tried to spoil the
fun of others just because they wouldn’t play your way
and let you be teacher; if you pooh poohed every attempt
on the part of others to do something to build McCormick;
if you spent your time pussy-footing, scandal mongering
and rabbit-punching; if you kept your hands in your poc
kets, leaning backward, while others were putting their
shoulder to the wheel pushing forward—if you did these
things, and knew you were doing them,’You were a civic
moocher and deserve no consideration from neighbor or
stranger.
Maybe you didn’t know you were doing such things—
that’s why I say think—it will do you good.

Hope Suggests | House Destroyed
School Changes By Fire Yesterday
MAKES RECOMMENDATIONS IN
ANNUAL REPORT
The Columbia State says:
Standardization of elementary
grades, financial assistance from
the state for the transportation of
pupils and higher standards for
the certification of teachers are
among the chief needs of the
South- Carolina school system,- ac
cording to the annual report of
James H. Hope, state superintend
ent of education. The report will
be presented to the general as
sembly in January.
An appropriation of $12,000. to
assist counties and school districts
in providing adequate libraries and
a state director of education con
nected with the state department
are also requested in the report.
In recommending that element
ary schools be standardized Mr.
Hope suggests that the same sys
tem used in standardizing high
schools be used. Under this plan
every county would be divided in
to high school districts including
every elementary school in the
county. In this way state super
visors would have their work as
general supervisors supplemented
by related supervision from the
high schools. A statewide law re
organizing the schools in accord-
,th_ these suggestions is rec-
Hope.
