Resolutions of Coincidence On
Death of Mayor Blackmore As
Adopted Today by Rotarians

Whereas, Almighty Providence in
Its Divine Wisdom has called from
our midst the spirit of Walter A.
Blackmore:
And whereas. Walter A Blackmore
came to Wyoming. t~hirty.four years
g q pioneer and endured h hard
| ships Of the early settlers of that
time and remained steadfast in his
belief in the possibilities OF this great
commonwealth;
And whereas. at all times after re.
moving 10 Casper, he was a builder.
not only in the material things, al
ways having the vision of a pioneer
in the erecting of places OF business
and of residence. but he was also a
builder in the higher sense of advocat-
ing and promoting and assisting in.
the great modern movements, which
have to do with the education and
uplifting of the boys and girls and
the young men and women OF the
community, and of h adult citizens
with whom he associated;
And whereas, 1t was most fitting
that having reached the age when a
nan OF his thought and action can
best indelibly stamp hv personality on
the people. with many OF whom he had
travelled along lies highway for
more than a quarter of a century, he
should be elected to the position of
mayor OF the city which he had seen
grow from little more than a border
town of a few houses to a city Of
approximately twenty-five thousand
inhabitants;

And whereas, as mayor of such
city he had brought to the position
the advantages OF a successful bust
ness career. and a full knowledge OF
all Of the needs and possibilities of
such q city, and a keen n thor
oughly trained mind fully equipped
to meet the high responsibilities of the
office. guided by the highest integrity.
and he was administering the duties
of his position with honor to himself
and with approval Of the inhabitants
Of our municipality;
And whereas. he has left to mourn
his departure. a devoted and honored
family, thousands of loyal friends, the
citizens OF Casper over whose des.
TIMES he 20 ably presided, and hosts
of others in all parts of Wyoming and
elsewhere. wherever he was known;
And whereas. while we realize there
Is no death, and hat which We call
death is only transition. and is life's
greatest venture. yet it is human 10

Now therefore be It resolved, that
we extend the heartfelt sympathy of
this club and of al its members to the
devoted family OF our beloved friend
and mayor. and with 1t the ~consola.
ton that he still lives: and that his
spirit has returned to God who gave
It;
Be 1t further resolved, that this res.
olution be spread upon our minutes
and that a copy be delivered to the
family of the deceased.

Union Springs EIated Over Purchase Of Cotton Mill
 By Conner

UNION SPRINGS, Ala. August 31. (Special.)-To say that Union Springs has silver lined optimism in the face of nearly 40 days of daily rains on an agricultural county calls for explanation. Although crops, especially cotton. are only half crop, and other food crops diminished, yet the county Is not in the dumps, for the reason that 1t is an agricultural county of diversified farming, with eggs in several baskets.
 The construction of hard sur faced road at an expense of over s20O,000 to connect with Montgomery has turned loose considerable money in the urban and other quarters and this will continue for some time to come.
 The sale of the cotton mill and the probability that it will be in operation inside year Is encourag- ing. The old mill will be rebuilt modernized, new machinery added enlarged to 5000 spindles, a model mill village built and with houses for 100 families. This in city of

REV. DR.. C. E. SMITH
RECTOR 21 YEARS
Celebrates the Anniversary Of His
First Service at st.
Thomas Church.

|, Rev. DR.. c. Earnest Smith. rector
of st. Thomas Episcopal Church. yes
terday celebrated the twenty-first an
niversary of his pastorate. At the
morning services he gave a review Of
the church's work In the almost
quarter of a century he has been at
Its head, and at night he preached a
sermon denouncing extreme modern
ism and pleading for the return of
normal procedure in religion. politics
and education.
The pastor said modernism can be
carried to extremes In politics, educa-
tion and religion as we'll as in other
nelds. In the case of religion he
criticized those who would deny the
supernatural and eliminate much Of
the Christian creed; in education he
championed the old system that gave
the student basic training for the
requirement of knowledge and did
not attempt to teach one specific
thing
The extreme course in modern
politics was deplored by DR.. Smith,
put he asserted the time Is past when
America can live apart from the rest
or the world. He did not advocate a
world court, but said that some mid
die course acceptable to both this
country and the nations OF Europe
should be pursued
