Commenting editorially on the
death of Mr. Woodworth, The
Spartanburg- Journal said: “We be
lieve it can be said that no man
ever occupied the mayor's chair
here in Spartanburg who had the
interests of the city more at heart.
Some may have differed with the
methods employed by Mayor
Woodworth, but it remains a mat
ter of record that Spartanburg
‘awoke’ from the depression years
and began expansions and im
provements during the Wood-
worth administration that can no
longer be measured in the dollar
costs. Much of the city’s growth
during and following the war
years has to a large extent been
built upon projects started under
’Mayor Tori'.’’
