When the Rotary Club assembled at Wilrik Hotel luesday lor lun cheon, there was found at the plate of each member a card containing the following: IN Memoriam WILLIAM HUNTER FITTS 1872-1930. Also Rotarians Vv 11.1 a in Alexander Monroe, 1926, Charles Chalmers Cheek, 1927. tuiuiugion WiiKins,, 192S, Malcolm James McPhail, 1929. The Rotary Club was organized in ,192a and since that time one mem ber has gone each year, Mr. Fitts be ing the last. • Tributes were paid Mr. Fitts* mem ory by W.R. Williams, Claude Teague and l)r. It. C. Gilmore. Mr. Williams spoke of the deceased as citizen, Mr. Teague spoke of him as ltotarian, and Dr. Gilmore spoke of him as churchman. Mr. Williams said in part: Mi. Fitts came to Sanford and cast his lot with her destiny in tlie year 1900, coming from near Hoffman, in Moore county, where he had been en gaged in the lumber manufacturing business. „ For a few years after coming to Sanford, he was engaged in the wholesale grocery business, and about 1902 he became interested in the Cobb Manufacturing Company along with other citizens of Sanford. This firm was reorganized under the name of Fitts-Crabtree Manufactur ing Company, and the success of this business is an evidence of the bus iness ability of Mr. Fitts. j in the year Mr. ruts was elected to membership on tne Board of Aldermen of the lown ol Sanford, serving one te?m of two years. He | was again elected to this position in 1919, retiring from the board to be come mayor in May, 1921. He serv ed as Mayor for six years—until 1927. Daring tnis period of time the town of Sanford grew from a village to a smail city, and, amid the perplexing problems which the growth of the town constantly presented, through his rare judgment and business abil- i ity, a firm foundation was laid for a real city. it was my pleasure to be t intimately associated with Mr. Fitts * during a part of his service as aider man, and during his entire adminis tration of the affairs of the town as Mayor. We find that during this time something tike a half million dollars was spent upon the streets and water system of the town, that a meat and milk inspection was inau gurate.! for ail meats and milk sold within the town, numerous other steps were taken for the advancement of the interests of the people of San ford. Mr. Fitts was at all times con scientiously and efficiently in the serv-i ice of the town during his adminis tration as Mayor. As a citizen of the town he was called to this position at a time when there was real need of a MAN. He responded to this call as was the duty oi a good and true citi zen, and whenever and wherever we find this man called, he rang true to the trust reposed in him. He was a member of the finance committee of Lee county at a time when financial matters in connection with the county was. entangled. His wise counsel did much to settle the difficulty. He served his political party as a mem ber of the State Executive Commit tee, which position he heJd at the date of his deatlu He was in the thick of the fight for cur County. Hospital—a cause that was dear to his heart for it savored of means for help to humanity. He was active in d hisCohureh, active in the Rotary Club, and active in his political party. Whenever we find a question of pub lic concern presented, we find W. H. Fitts not only with an opinion, but with a conviction which enabled him to present that opinion, and his coup-., sel was invaluable to the citizenship of our town. He knew not the meaning of the words political or per sonal expediency, behind which so many hide who ought to be good citi zens of the community in which they reside; but W. H. Fitts, boldly, wuuyj taxe a bLa.nu on any question presented; and, when the final check up would come, it was usually found that he w-as right. I have never known him to do anything “short.” So, with these activities in the life of this man, it can be truly said of him that he was a GOOD CITIZEN— that he was a man, who, when called fcx service by his fellowman as a citi zen, let not his personal whims and a desire in any manner influence his judgment, but wiur at all times had a first consideration for the thing that was RIGHT, HONEST, and JUST. "But I come not to eulogize the man; nor to bear all the testimony of the noble qualities displayed in his life and relationship to the town as a cit izen. He needs no eulogy amid the men of this club; which he loved so well; he needs no eulogy among the citizenship of our town, and the throngs of devoted and loyal friends with whom he labored and struggled for the upbuilding of Sanford. The greatest witness of his citizenship is the life the man lived, and his accom plishments. No one can point to any particular trait of his character and - pay a particular thing dominated his life, for his was, in my humble judgment, a well rounded life. 1 can not hope to say anything that would add to the inspiration that comes to all who knew him from a life such as hd lived. As much as any man I have ever known, his life illustrates the rum umem, oi rne aivine law tnat • ne who would be great among you,let him be servant of all,* but suffice it for me to say that, because of opposition of difference of opinions, he never hesitated or faltered when once the pathway of duty was made clear. He had this necessary attribute of good citizenship. I have known him inti mately for many years, and I have never seen him called upon in any ca pacity when his response did not ring true to the highest of ideals. He was a genuinely good citizen. By the cbntnbUtion of his life made to the welfare and growth of the town of Sanford, I say, without fear of con tradiction, that W. H. Fitts has had few equals in citizenship in the his tory of Sanford, and no superiors. The awe and silence and sorrow of the grief stricken multitude that as sembled at the Presbyterian church on last Wednesday morning, together w»th the beautiful flowers surround ing his bier, is a tribute to the life of th° man more eloquent and lasting than the pen or tongue of c«’ild render. The multitude of his friends on that occasion, stood shoul der shoulder and mingled their mu tual sorrow and grief in the last tri to their denarted friedd. Jn the iombre silence of sorrow, they watch ed while the last sad funeral rites were porformed and the • remains placed beneath the sod at Buffalo cemetery. Hie life «sd character must have been the inspiration of the poet when he penned the lines: TV. H. FITTS-Two. “He must have so jived when his summons came to join The innumerable caravan, which moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls, of death . ■ Thou go not, like tin- &i world servant to manSpra. t As a loyal citizen, a faithful Rota rian, a devoted Christian, we bid him farewell, knowing that he has passed to his everlasting rest and reward, and we spread this writing on the minutes of our club jn witness to our appreciation" of and love for him and aur sympathy for his family.

At the regular chapel exercises held' at West Sanford school Wednesday of last week, Mis Clara Buckner’s sec ond grade presented one of the love liest programs of the year. This was ‘ the outcome of a very interesting Japanese project which the grade had just completed. For this occasion, the stage, by lighted lanterns and other decorations had been transform into a Japanese garden. The exeer cise opened with a Japanese song by the school.

A. Spivey, Basil Sevmour, Herman Mc lver, James McCormick. Carl Braf ford, Evelvn Howard, Anne Russell, Mildren Williams, Harold Prestrrr.
