Resolutions

The exigencies of human life are
often attended by great sorrow and
disappointment, both in the social and
business world. The cutting down of
buoyant, vigorous manhood is al
ways fraught with sense of sad
ness and consciousness of material
loss; but when one, who has, by his
charity of spirit and his common love
Of humanity, by his acts of kindness
and ways of helpfulness, endeared
himself to all who knew him; when
one, who, endowed with great nat
ural ability, with intensity of appli-
cation, and with unusual executive
genius, is called to answer the sum-
mons that is inevitable, then, indeed,
does the sense of loss and the sadness
of heart become most real. DR.. w.
H. Hawkins, our associate in business
and our friend, whose seemingly un-
timely death we lament, was intelli-
gent, wise, energetic, helpful, kind.
He was stout-hearted and broad
minded, and, with all, ever consider
ate and gentle. Whether it was in
the business or the social circles, his
value and helpfulness, his genial char
acter and his courteous manner were
ever recognized.
Cut down in the very prime and
bloom of strong, hopeful manhood,
his death comes as one of the unex-
pected and disappointing sorrows of
life, which we cannot understand,
but must bravely accept.
Resolved, therefore, That we, the
directors Of the Beech Haven Oil
Company, in business session assem-
bled, hereby express our deep sense
of loss in the death of one who was
a wise President and faithful friend;
Resolved, further, That, as token
of our high esteem Of the deceased,
in business and social life, and as an
expression of our sympathy for his
widow and family, copy of this Res
olution be delivered to Mrs. Hawkins,
a copy to the GreeneviIle papers, and
that copy of same be spread of
record on the minutes of our corpora
tion.

Speaker Trying;
Others Failed

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-(United
Press.--Tris Speaker has become play
ing manager of the Cleveland Indians
despite the long trail left behind them
by Nap Lajoie and Joe Birmingham.
iris became leader of Jim Dunn's
entry for the American league pen
nant because he was popular with
fans and players. Everybody, it
seemed, wanted Spoke to jump in
and manage a ball club like he can
hit. So he did after vain fight
against acceptance of such post.
Well, that was why Nap Lajoie
became manager of the old Cleveland
Blues. The fans and players wanted
him. There never was a more popu-
lar player anywhere. His hitting and
graceful fielding at second base did
it, just as Speakers hitting and grace
full fielding turned the trick for him.
Why, Lajoie became so popular they
even changed the teams name. They
began to call it "Naps," and the name
stuck long time.
Then there came trouble. The
aJues slumpcd and slumped. Finally,
IL heer self-protection Charlie Som
ers had to pick new manager, and
then later he had to pick another
manager, who turned out to be an
other player-Joe Birmingham. And
Joe did a fine job of it. He had his
team fighting for a penna1t for a
brief spell and then the jealousies got
in their work again. Joe stepped out

SEA SHORE RESORTS
 FOR VACATIONS ARE
 CONDUCTED BY W.C.T.U.

LONDON, July 1 Correspondence Ot Associated Press) Americans who ind the cost of vacations so high that they can not afford this year to go to the mountains or sea shore will be interested in the way in which the Young Mems Christian Association is attempting to solve the problem in England.
 Seaside profiteers have made the vacations so expensive for the aver age English family that thousands who before the war sought recreation on the east coast of England were unable to do so this year. The hotels have jumped their prices to unheard of fig ures.
 The Y. M. C. A. is offering these families bed and breakfast in these east coast resorts at $420 a week for each person, and it proposes to fur nish nurses and accommodations for children so that mothers can have a real holiday.
 To accomplish this the association rented a hotel at Felixstowe and an- other at Southend, and established a tent camp at Herene Bay, equipping them with such furniture as it was able to quickly obtain. All valuables must be left at home, and only old clothes can be worn.
 No charge is being made for chil- dren less than year old, and reduced prices are quoted for those of less than eight years. This permits a fam fly in ordinary circumstances to en-
