THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
FRIEND PAYS TRIBUTE
TO MR.C. B. WALDROP
Editor Progress-Argus: Will you
kindly allow us to pay a slight tri
bute to the memory of our friend,
Clarence Wa'.drup, whose spirit,
passed out with the parsing of the
old year, we hope and believe to
higher and happier realms. All our
life we had knovo him. Through
childhood, school boy days, young
manhood, middle age, and on until
our paths were descending'toward
the sunset of life we had been con
stant companions and our friendship
grew and ripened with the passing
years.
A great lover of books, one of
the most widely read and best post
ed men on general issues of the
times, he took a lively interest in
all matters of public concern.
A great lover of music in all its
forms. A skillful performer on the
violin, there was nothing he enjoy
ed more than any kind of good
mur'c,
At the time of his death he was
owner of four or five good violins,
and three of these he made w.'th
his own hands and with the simplest
kind of tools. One of these instill
ments that ho fashioned with his
own hands is unusually pretty.
Made of curly Maple, inlaid with
some other fine wood, and inside
is this inscription: “C. B. Waldrup,
Anno Domini 1914, Psalm CL.”
Which is one of David’s sweetest
songs. “Praise God in His sanctu
ary; praise Him with stringed in
struments and organs. Let every
thing that hath breath praise the
Lord.” All of the violins that he
owned and made he bequeathed to
near relatives and friends. We have
often wondered vuhat he might have
become as a maker of fine musical
instruments if he had given his tal
ents full sway along that line.
Like the ’•est of us, he may have
had his weaknesses, and who of us
hasn’t them, but he had many strong
virtues that all of us would do well
to emulate and follow. Always on
the side of law and order, quiet and
unassuming in manner, temperate
in his habits, never given to ca
rousing or riotous living even dur
ing young manhood. Of his short
comings and -frailties it is not given
us to judge. “Judge not that ye be
not judged.”
i “It is not ours to separate
The tangled skein of will and fate,
The outward, wayward life we see,
The hidden springs we may not
know,
But He knows our frame is just,
That He remembers we are dust.”
During his last long illness the
writer had several long heart to
heart talks, with him. He talked
with us freely of his past life and
of his hopes of the future. While
there were some things he seemed
to re,gret, just as we all do, yet he
seemed to have no -fears of the fu
ture. He told us.that he had noth
ing but good will and kind thought
toward every one, that he felt that
his sins had been forgiven and that
he was ready and willing to go.
Before he passed on he wrote out
the following lines from Gray’s
Elegy and requested that they be
inscribed on his tombstone:
“Here rest his head upon the lap
of earth,
A youth to fortune and fame un
known.
Fair science frowned not upon hb
humble birth.
And melancholy marked him for her
own.
“No •further reek his merits to dis
close
Or draw his frailties from their
dread abode,
(There alike in trembling hope re
pose)
The bosom of his Father and his
God.”
May death have ca.led thee to a
higher and happier home, is the
sincere wish of
A FRIEND.

THE MIDNIGHT WATCH AT SEA
I paced the deck in the dead hours
of the night,
When the moon and starlight fall,
And the cordage creaks in the lazy
swell,
And Heavily flaps the sail.
In the darkness glimmers the bin
nacle lamp,
With its -feeble and lonely spel 1 ,
And no sound is heard but the sen
try’s tramp,
Or his measured cry “All’s Well!”
To and fro with accustomed step,
I walked in the night alone,
And I think of the thousand watch
es kept
In the years forever flown,
Or the friends in whose manly fel
lowship
I labored long ago,
Until death relieved them of their
watch on earth,
And they went to rest below.
And I think of the gallant ones who
died
When our broadsides shook the sea,
And ti*ars of sorrow subdued the

Advertised Goods Reach You
Without Lost Motion
A big part of the cost of living today may be
charged to lost motion, to slow, slipshod distri
bution of goods, and to wasteful selling
methods.
For example, every year tons of
fruits and vegetable rot on the ground,
because it doesn’t pay to pick them.
Discouraged growers plant less the next
season, and the supply of food is redu
ced. Meanwhile, consumers lh the cit
ies nearby grumble over high prices.
Demand and supply are not brought to
*v gether.
Contrast this with the handling of or
anges; $1,000,000 a year is spent for ad
vertising by the co-operative associa
tion of the California Fruit Growers.
A large sum; yet it is only abopt one-fifth
of a cent per dozen —one-sixtieth of a
cent for each orange sold.
And this advertising has kept down
the cost of oranges—and insured a bet
ter product.
Advertising, properly done, saves money
for the consumer and makes money for the pro
ducer by driving out wasteful methods, increas
ing volume and cutting down the costs of sell
ing and distribution. v

TESTED UNDER

EVERY Clark Grave Vault
before it leaves the factory
withstands the severest possible
tests. It is completely submerged
in water subjected to two and
one-half tons pressure. It must be
' absolutely air-tight andnotatany
time permit water toleak t hrough.
(Stone, brick and concrete vaults
let water in and hold it.)
Its proved protection is made
permanent through the use of
heavy twelve gauge Keystone

All joints are doubly welded; are
thicker and stronger than the
plates themselves. We earnestly
recommend this “quality” vault.
