At one , ' o ' time we find him cutting corn. At an- . * * other, painting his neighbors' barns. ^ | At still another, driving a team and helping to grade the roadbed of the , v T. & O. C. Railroad, which was then | f building through that community. At1 * % the age of seventeen we find him!e teaching a district school, and "toot- c ing a horn" in the "brass band" of j h the village. One of his fellow musi- i h r dans, who is now at the head of a ^ jLgreat manufacturing concern, and who * - - - v, ^Sh&s since sat with him on various " boards of directors, recounts that the * band once took the third prize at tournament; and he adds that 'should Senator Harding be elected President b <of the United States it would not i cause ,him half the pride which he felt j'\ on that occasion when we came homeJ t with the third prize for our musical! 1 proficiency.' ! s "At odd times he worked -in the; o little printing office in the village, r He seemed to love the odor of printers' ink and to have a passion for i everything pertaining to a newspaper o office, even down to the minutest de- b tail of the mechanical equipment He c ? ^ ?? 1 L..J 4 became an expert typesetter vy uuu, ? ?nd when the linotype was first intro- f duced he learned to operate the ma- c chine. He is a practical pressman, \ job printer, and as a make-up man b has few equals. The 'luck piece' he f carries as a Senator of the United States is the old printer's rule he used F when he was yet 'sticking type.'" g A friend recalls an incident which is s offered as illustrative of Senator } ^ Harding's character.

'You see.' le added, 'this is a holiday, and we * /ant to go to press as early as possi- F ile and let the boys get out and enjoy hemselves; so I am just lending a t lelping hand.' "When the task was finished they eent up to the editorial sanctum, 0 roni which the rambling of the press ^ n the basement could be heard. Presntly, as they chatted, the rumbling 0 eased. The inevitable, which always 0 laums a iiewopapci vmvc m uic xux>u our, had happened. Springing up, he r lastened to the pressroom, and with rained eye located the trouble that c lad interfered with the operation of 0 he press, remedied it, and the cylin- e lers again began toi move. i a "This same mastery of details has a een a characteristic of Mr. Harding * n every sphere of his active life. 1 Vhen he purchased his first automi- * lile he would not rest until he had ? earned to manipulate it with the kill of a chauffeur, and to make such c irdinary repairs as are likely to be j leeded on the road. 1 "But to return to The Star.

Florence, June 12.?The lovely home of Mr. and Mrs. George Stackley on West Palmetto street, Florence, was the scene of a beautiful wedding on Weacesday, June 9; when the;r daughj ter, Agnes Georgie, waf given in marriage t<t William Brooks Tyson.

The county was then )emocratic, and this paper not even he official organ of the minority ?arty. "With the enthusiasm of youth, and he inspiration of one who has his oot upon the first rung of the ladder f his ambition, the young man bent lis energies to the tStsk of making The >tar a beacon-light which should shine iut of the darkness, and to lift it ,nt of the Henths of all but bankruptcy ind give it a financial standing above eproach. "He lived with it day by day, and rftentime far into the night. Hq reamed of it. At times he performed very function from "devil" to managing editor. Thorny was the road .nd sometimes the coffers were so deleted that it was necessary to request advertisers to make advance ayment of bills in order to keep the nterprise afloat But the story of iow it grew and expanded, ultimately utgrowing and taking over its competitor is too long to be written here, t is the same story of love, devotion, nergy, resourcefulness, and deteimitation winning against all odds and oming out triumphant in the encL "The Star today is a prosperous, noney-making plant. It could mot be mrchased at any price. There has tever been a strike or a threatened trike in The Star office. His emiloyees found hftn always liberal and ver generous, and they love him as a irother. After he had established us paper on a firm foundation he rganized a stock company, distribuing shares to each of his employes, nd he and they still own it. "Mr. Harding is closely identified nth many large business enterprises. Since he took over The Star, Marion Las grown from a country town of our thousand inhabitants to a flours-ling city of thirty thousand, and he ;as been a prime factor in this indusrial development. He has been a booster' for every new industry which ias locater there, taking shares of tock in each to the limit of his abiliy. Because of his recognized busiless sagacity he has been made, at ne time or an other, a member of the ' | >oard of Directors of most of these nterprises, lending his counsel and ;dvjce, and in turn gathering much aluable information concerning the iifficulties which beset the various ines of industry. He is at present l director of a bank, director of several large manufacturing plants, and s also a trustee of the Trinity Bapisl Church, of which he is a member, ind upon whose services he is a regilar attendant when in the city. Howver, we are told, he has managed to pet out of town often enough to see a fVin tirnrM "Durring the last score of years Senator Harding has been three i es abroad, visiting most of the Eur opean countries, not on pleasure xmt, but to study at close range their ystems of government and the ecolomic problems with which we have o deal?such as the tariff, the standird of wages paid to labor in the (liferent countries, and the varied conditions surrounding their mode of life; >ut always he has returned with a leeper love for his own land and a 'inner conviction that its form of government is the best which - was :ver devised by man. "After his election to the United States Sanate, and before taking his ;eat, he visited the Hawiian Islands ? get some first-hand information lpon the production and distribution >f sugar. He has spoken many times n almost every State of the Union, iddressing now a wool-growers' association, now a farmers' institute, low a convention of steel and irorn nasters, and now an association of niners or of railroad employes, or a :ombination of laborers from some ither branch of industry, thus familarizing himself with the needs of >very section, and with the thought ind hopes and aspirations of all classes and' conditions of men. Having limself climbed the ladder from the owest rung, he has given an attentive tar and careful thought to the claims tnd problems of men in every station >f life.

Miss Lola Lawrence beautifully sang two vocal numbers?"For You Alone," and "Beauty's Eyes"? accompanied by Miss Jessie Gregg with the violin. The dainty little flower girls, Audrey and Oliver Pendergrass, entered from opposite doors. They were dressed in fairy like costumes of accordion pleated organdie and carried baskets tied with yellow tulle and filled with Shasta daisies. The petite ring bearer, Marion Lee McCown, dressed in accordion pleated white organdie with a silver band across her long black curls, preceded tiie bride, carrying, the ring in a long stemmed lily. To the strains of the wedding march from "Lohengrin," the bride entered the drawing room with her sister, Mrs. E. W. Hurst, of Conway, as dame of honor, where she was met in front of a bank of palms and fern? by the bridegroom and his best man, W. G. Kirkl and. The bride was never lovilier than in her going-away suit of navy blue trico'tine with harmonizing accessories of brown. She carried a shower bouquet of bride roses and lilies of the valley. Following the ceremony, a charming reception was tendered the friends of the bridal couple. The popularity of the young couple was attested by the elaborate display of handsome presents, not the least of which was the deed to a choice lot on the "Circle," the gift of the bride's parents.
