y. o. PYLES DIED IN
A COLUMBIA HOSPITAL
Served as Clerk In General Assem-.
bly, - Years-Compiled Much
Data.

The State, 21.
n. O. Pyles, for many years resi-
dent of Columbia, died yesterday at
the Ridgewood tuberculosis camp,
where he had been taken for treat
ment several months ago. Funeral
services will be held from 1917
Hampston street this afternoon at 5
o'clock, conducted by the Rev C. E.
Burts, D. D., pastor of the First Bap-
tist church. The late Mr.. Pyles was
a member of the Columbia lodge of
Odd Fellows, and the remains will be
laid to rest with ceremonies by the
order in Elmwood cemetery.
Reared in Laurens county, Mr.
Pyles gave many of the best years
of his life to the teaching profession,
having taught schools IT Abbeville,
Greenwood and Laurens counties.
Later he taught several terms in the
rural district near Columbia. His
was familiar face at the annual
meeting Of the State Teachers asso-
citation, and that Of last week was
one Of the very few he ever missed.
He had particular aptitude for
accumulating general information.
He made census surveys of the city
at different times and always directed
the information bureaus for prac-
ticaliy all large conventions which
met in Columbia. He served as post
office clerk Of the general assembly
80 years and in that way cultivated
a large and influential Statewide ac-
quaintance. He was probably the
first to issue a directory of the State
legislature. He also did much work
in connection with the Columbia
postofice and was one Of the first
rural carriers to enter the service. A
brother, also teacher died in Co.
lumbia eight or ten years ago. No
relatives survive. A sister
in-law resides in the West and a
lives in Florida. Mr.. PyleS
was about 80 years old.

rooms, at the club should escape an
atmosphere of oppressive opulence.
A wealth OF upholstery and a super
nuous richness of leather have often
marred what would otherwise have
been the friendliest and most charm

ing-rooms.

error in it's dining-rooms. The grill

1t may be that the club spirit and
the snirit that broods in Libraries are
somewhat incompatible. Or it may
be that the American club man, pc
ing man of affairs, has no time Tor
other reading than that of newspa-
pers and magazines. Yet one would
regret 10 see the persistent expert
ment of creating club Libraries aban-
doned. The word. experiment IS
used advisedly, for most club libra
ries are rather points of pride than
features of utility and by these tokens
experimental. The club library, With
its quiet corners, its goodly volumes,
its accentuated atmosphere of friend
illness and repose, and its studied
adaptation to the needs of the mem
bership, may easily be made to tell
the whole story of the club.

of it's home so thoroughly in accord.
The task of making the clubhouse a
proper setting for the club spirit IS
an exceedingly nice one. Every club
has it's own individuality, and that
individuality together with other at
tributes, must find expression IN
quarters as we'll as in the personnel
of the membership of the body.
Whatever else a mans club may
be- it must be honey. The club Is
that place to which he resorts to feel
at home among men, even as he goes
to his residence to find those COM
forts and associations which we more
generally designate by the term
"home." The residence-home is dom
mated by the feminine influence IN
architecture and furnishings. A mans
club must be altogether masculine IN
atmosphere and setting. To keep the
masculine note predominant, and yet
preserve the nominees OF the clup, IS
one of the delicate problems which
confronts every house Or building
committee.
A club whose membership is con-
fined to the alumni of a given college,
finds most Of the solutions OF these
problems ready-made. 1t has only 70

THE FOURTH WAR WINTER.

\ recent issue Of the London Times
publishes Il letter written by an in
tclligent German who but recently
has left the home country. In which
communication the internal condi-
ticn Of Germany is discussed without

that the fourth winter. Of the war
w'll bring an exhaustion to the re-
sources of the Central Powers that
will mean inevitable collapse. II is
an exhaustion that pertains to foods,
fighting materials and men. The
writer is not pro-English or against
kaiserism. He is simply logicai ami
frank. He puts the main emphasis
upon the growing exhaustion OF men
fit to fight.
While he does not say it in direct
terms. the plain meaning nf his rca-
Soning is that the Teuton powers
have already lost; that. though the
