DOCTOR DAVIS'S
SEVENTEEN MILESTONE

Greenville News:
Greenville joins the Second Presby-
terian chruch in honoring its beloved
pastor, Dr. E. P. Davis, on attaining
! his SEVENTEEN birthday, for number
less people here, without as well as
within his fold, hold him in the high
est esteem and respect.
There is no better man on earth
than Doctor Davis, in our opinion. He
is the living embodiment Of some of
the celebrated characterizations of
those who devote their lives to the
! service of mankind and to the glory
of God. Cowper had just such a man
as the good doctor in mind when he
wrote
81 venerate the man whose heart is
warm,
Whose hands are pure, whose doc
trines and whose life
Coincident, exhibit lucid proof
That he is honest in the sacred
cause"
| Like the preacher in '"The Deserted
Village" he is "a man to all the
country dear" and of him, too, it can
ibe said:
"At church, with meeE:: and unaffect-
ed grace
/ HIS looks adorn'd the venerable place
i Truth from his lips prevailed with
double sway,
And fools, who cfme to scott, re-
main'd to pray?
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1921-07-29

Dryden in the Character. OF a
Good Parson" has another couplet ap-
plicable to him:
"His preaching much, but more his
practice wrought;
"a living sermon of the truths he
taught0"
No other man in Greenville, in the
pulpit and out of it, has welded more
influence for goodness and righteous
ness in the life of the individual and
of the. community than Doctor Davis.
To paraphrase another poet, none
knows him but to love him nor names
him BUT to praise. 1t has been said
that the character of the citizen is
the strength of the city-and no one
can measure the noble work of Doc
tor Davis in strengthening our citizen
ship. In his quiet, serene way ne,
too, has been powerful force for
the upbuilding of Greenville.
How applicable to Doctor Davis is
the sentiment expressed by Oliver
Wendell Holmes to Julia Ward Howe
on her seventeen birthday: "To be
seventy years young is sometimes far
more cheerful and hopeful than to
be forty years old" His "hoary head
is crown of glory" for it is found
in the way of righteouness." May
God give him great length of days
that he may by precept and example
continue to teach US all that 1.-The
path of the just is as the shining light
that shineth more and more unto the
perfect day"

FIGHT ID FINISH
 IN PACKERS STRIKE
Both Sides Preparing For Struggle Which Begins
 Monday
By AssocIated Press

Chicago, December S.-A fight to the finish between the Big Five pack CTS and the Amalgamated Meat Cut ters and Butcher Workmen of North America was in prospect today as each side virtually finished it's plans for the strike of union packing house employees, ordered to begin Monday.
 The packers today posted notices that employees who go out on strike will lose their jobs and also adver- tfsed for men to take the places of strikers. The union officials indicated they had no intention of receding from the stand taken when they ad vised packing house workers in Kan sas City, Kan, to disregard orders of the Kansas court of industrial rela- tions to appear before it. The court of industrial relations issued subpoe- mas for the officers of the Kansas City locals. Later in the day the Kansas court issued a temporary order re- straining either the packers or the union from taking any action what ever. This constitutes a virtual in- junction against the strike in the state of Kansas, 1t was asserted.
 Plant assemblies, the organization composed of packer and workmen representatives by which the pack CTS propose to settle all questions af- fecting employees held meetings today in several cities and issued statements advising the workmen to leave al questions of wages and working con ditions to these organizations.
 The packers expressed confidenc, that the walkout would not seriously affect production, asserting that few men would follow the union orders and that the unions strength Is mol sufficient to cripple the industry. The union has contended that majority of the packing house employees art unionized.
 While union officials have asserted that peaceful picketing will be carri cd out beginning Monday morning at { o'clock, more than 200 policemen were today assigned to reserve duty in the stock yards district by Chief of Pc lice Fitzmorris, who stated he be- lieved this number of men will be able to deal with any disorders that may arise

 "Is not this triumph of the Civic Association sufficient proof of her ability to function for all Birming- ham? But little more than four years old, this association has shown that 1t not only starts but does things for the city-big, fundamental things
 "Other notable achievements of the Civic Association in 1921 are:
 Caused the federal trade commis- sion to bring the celebrated suit against Pittsburg Plus the deadly discrimination against Birmingham in steel prices. The trial of this case Is about ready to begin. The Civic Association is constantly furnishing the federal attorneys with data in the case.
