BLIND STUDENT WINS HONORS
Louisville Roy Elected to Plii lleti
Kappa at Columbia University.
New York Herald.
Among the names of those to b<
elected to the high honor of Phi Be
ta Kappa at Columbia this week ap
pears that of Calvin S. Glover, bliiu
student. The students are elected t<
this honorary fraternity only for th<
highest attainments in studes, am
It Is only 20 out of a class or mori
than 150 who can achieve this pin
nacle. It is therefore a remarkabh
feat when a student who has had t<
fight his way against the handicaj
of total blindness is elected to tht
ranks of honor students.
Mr. Grover, who is 2 5 years old
is the second blind man to receiv*
" this honor at Columbia University
The first man to be elected was Abraham
Berinstein, who has a remarkable
career at the Morningside Height?
institution. But his distinct success
has been well seconded by Mr. Glover.
Not only did Mr. Glover makf
his mark in his studies, and especially
in courses of music under Frank
E. Ward, associate director at Columbia,
but he soon became one ol
the most popular men in his classes
The honor that is to be conferred
on Glover on Wednesday, however,
has not come without a long, hard
struggle on his part. Glover was
horn blind in Louisville, Ky. He
showed great talent for music, and
every opportunity was offered to him
to assist him in grasping the technique
of the organ and piano. Before
his majority was reached he had attracted
attention for his finished execution.
Glover's one ambition seems to be
to become proficient to a high degree
in music, and it was with this
Ahlort tn iHow thnt >10 colppfpil Pnlinn
bla University. In spite of his blindnesB
he was not discouraged by the
authorities from entering the University,
for Glover is the fifth blind man
to receive a degree from there.
Upon entering the University
Glover specialized in music, although
he also took a full course of studies.
He was assisted in his studying by
having some one read to him. but he
also did a great deal of reading from
raised type. He makes up in his
hearing for his lack of sight. One of
his specialties is tuning pianos. He
has earned many a penny tuning
pianos on Morningside Heights, and
is always selected to tune the pianos
in Hartly and Livingston halls, the
University dormitories.
The Vanishing Lass.
Pictorial Review.
This is a straight-from-the-shoulder
talk to the fathers of young girls.
We hope mothers will read it also,
but we want them to pass it on to
their husbands without fail. The
American father needs a jolt. And

to another.
We are not giving to deploring the
passing of "the good old days." We
believe that many decayed and useless
customs have been cast aside,
and that today carries much to admire
and rejoice over. But we have
made a mistake in letting our girls
grow up too fast. There is neither
meekness nor shadow in the eyes of
Miss Sixteen today. Neither is she
exactly what you would call "sweet."
She is "smart" and amusing, but she
does not bring a tremulous smile to
the lips of old age nor fill the hearts
of men, young and old, with the fine
old desire to protect and screen her
from all that might hurt or
contaminate. Her bearing announces
an independence that is too asserive
There is nothing reluctant about
her feet. Thither they press eagerly
toward the dress, manners, customs
and pleasures designed for those who
have plucked ripe fruit from the
Tree of Knowledge.
We men are nroud of this new
girl's spirit, of ln-r achievements in
the classroom, of her resourcefulness
and adaptability when economic
conditions fo.n ? her into our factories,
stores and offices. We smile
at her good-humoredly and say, "Go
to it, girlie," when she elbows her
way into the crowded lunchroom or
trolley. Rut we misR the shadow in
her eyes, the lily in her h^nd, and we
do not like to think of her as a wife
for our son. If we stop to analyze
her position in the general scheme
of life, we think vaguely that she
belongs in a class of her own; the
class that must hold its own in the
stern workaday world. Perhaps in
preparing their daughters for the
grinding, pitiless contact with those
who toil, parents have taught girls
at once too much and too little?too
much of how to protect themselves
from the evil of others, too Utile of
how to flee the evil in itself. And
so, flaunting her preparedness, this
type throws off the mysterious veil
maidenhood, melting into womanhood.
An Advertisement is a Challenge.
By Holland.
The man who advertises is fearless,
He courts the light He dares
ail and sundry to put him to the
test. "This is what I offer," he
says in effect. "Can you beat it?
Can you do better elsewhere? Make
comparisons and then do business
with me only if you find it is to your
advantage."
There is nothing hidden about the
advertiser. He stands up for himself,
for his goods, for his reputation,
for his town. He wants everybody
to know him, to know his meth
ods of business and bis manner of
treating customers.
This makes It safe to do business
with him. Having spent much
money making his name known, he
cannot afford to have it tarnished,
and he will go much more than halfway
in an effort to correct a misunderstanding
that is not of his making.
He wants to tell more than the
hare truth, to do more than what is
really square. Deal with advertisers
for a square deal.

STATE'S OLDEST PRINTER.
' Distinction is ( lniincil lor Samuel A.
Drown, of Dennettsville.
8 Pee-Dee Daily.
Se\eral papers have been discusj
sing the question of who is the oldest
, printer in the Caroiinas, and so far
- the nalm is held by Samuel A. Drown
1 of Bennettsville.
i Mr. Brown began setting type in
. Darlington in October, 1853, and has
> been at the case for 60 years this
, fall. He is now 76 years of age.
> Mr. Brown came to Bennettsville
> in 1877, and became edtior and publisher
of the Marlboro Democrat,
which was Malboro county's leading
! paper for many years, and at times
the county's only paper. He coniinu.
ed to publish the Democrat till he
. sold it iti 1008 to John C. Dees and
; his son. Percy M. Dees. After running
5 the paper several months, the Messrs.
. Dees sold it to R. L. Freeman, and
. it was consolidated with the Pee-Dee
. Advocate.
; Mr. Brown retired from the uews.
paper business when he so'd The
' Democrat, but he continued, and still
continues, to assist his sou Walter
I W. Brown, in his job printing office,
whenever he feels inclined to set a
\ few sticks of type. And he can set
( about as much, and as well, as any
. modern printer that can be found.
Occasionally Mr. Brown still con!
tributes to the press, and has fur.
nished many items for the Advocate
. and Daily.
Mr. Brown and his wife, who has
been a real helpmate to him through
his long useful life, reside in a
i comfortable home of their own in
the southern part of Bennettsville,
quitely enjoying life's eventide.
Their children are all married, and
they have a number of interesting
grandchildren whom they always
delight to have around them.
We trust that they may be spared
for many years, and that Mr.
Brown's successors in Marlboro
journalism may reach his age, and
wear their years as worthly.
For (ho Common Good.
Houston Post.
We shall watch with considerable
interest the progress of that new
movement in South Carolina, because
it seems to be fraught with boundlose
nnssihillties for good. We al
hide to the Conference for the Common
Good, which is to assemble in
Columbia next month.
This conference is to be a perpetual
organization of men and women
who are devoted to the welfare of
the state. Every county Is to be
represented and an effort is to be
made to co-ordinate energy and intelligence
for the purpose of achieving
material results.
"They will come," The Columbia
State informs us, "for neither private
gain, nor personal aggrandizement.
but for the purpose of planning
for bettering the condition of
all the people; for bettering conditions
of health and wealth; for increasing
educational advantages, improving
home surroundings and, in
a word, generally contributing to
the peace and happiness of South
Carolinians."
It is to be hoped that the politicians
will he invited to remain away.
Such a council ought to be participated
in by broad minded citizens of
every' walk of life, and if a candid
discussion of conditions be had we
feel sure that in the end South
Carolina will reap incalulable benefits.
A Conference for the Common
Good ought to be assembled in every '
state in Dixie. It ought to take up j
living conditions and deal with them
intelligently and earnestly. Such
subjects as good roads, rural home
lite, living conditions among the negroes,
public health, agricultural education.
the country schools, the
compensation of teachers, enforeement
of law and many others affecting
a state's welfare ought to be
considered.
The time has come when the people
themselves must take such mat
' ? 1
tern in nanu, uisit-uu m ^.
the politicians to do so. When the
people begin to take note of matters
affecting their every day life, the
politicians will not be long getting
in line. If the politicians have been
indifferent in many respects, it is because
the people themselves hftve
been indifferent.
This getting together of the people
is a good thing. Suppose occasionally
in Houston the citizens were
to gather in the auditorium to discuss
subjects vital to the common 1
good. Isn't it probable that before
long we should witness a new birth
of civic pride, a deeper concern for
cleanliness, public health and sanitation,
and isn't it probable that
there would result a more general
co-operation in all things pertaining
to the progress and welfare of the
city?
A state or community benefits
wiien each citizen feels that he is in
deed a part of the state, that he is
personally concerned in all material,
moral and sociological conditions
affecting its life or progress. We
need throughout the South that
awakened interest which makes of
the individual unit a force for good.
It makes for efficient citizenship,
wholesome living conditions, cleaner
politics and better government.
Every man and woman of a state
ought to feel a personal interest in
the conmcn feoo.i, ond good jf all
and each shoni I do something to
>romjt* it. We hope South Carolina
hac started something that will uc so

The Progressive Son at Home.
E. S. Brigham, Vermont, in Rural
New Yorker. <
I have been very much interested
in the discussion of the problem of
the conservative father and the pro- J
gressive son. Some years ago, when
I was a boy in the high school, and J
was trying to decide the question as
to what I would take up for my life s
work, I corresponded with Mr. A. W.
Cheever, one of our most successful j*
Eastern farmers, who was for many '
years a contributing editor to The ?
New England Farmer. Mr. Cheever ;
wrote me a sketch of his life, a portion
of which I now copy as a con- r
tribution to the discussion of the v
case of a conservative father and a
progressive son.
"I have tried to be more than an *
average farmer, because in my part *
of the country the farmer is not |
looked upon as quite the equal of
business men or of those in the professions.
I believed that farming B
well and intelligently followed
would enable one to live such a life
as one need not be ashamed of. I a
have never regretted my choice. 0
Your outlook appears far better than 8
mine did when at your age. My
father's was a small, poor farm and s
not productive. I left home at 19, n
because I wanted a little money for 8
my work, so that I could feel that I
had a dollar of my own. My father
did not see how he could pay me n
wages, and besides he thought I had e
no right to expect any till I was 21. e
He said if I could not be contented
to work at home for board and such
clothes as he could afford me I might p
go somewhere else to work, which I
accepted. I went upon a market .
garden and milk farm combined, and
stay with father, and did so as long v
as he lived and I have never been 0
sorry I did so. He was very happy c,
in his later days seeing the great j|
improvements made, and for the first j<
time in his life had more money than
was immediately needed to meet p
bills. Father's failing had been in j,
going over too much land for the j{
crops produced. My ideas were in 3
the direction of larger crops on j
smaller areas; intensive farming. | ?
We made the farm keep a cow to the I f(
acre. I have enjoyed my farm work ^
well when I could see improvements Q
going on that paid, and I have enjoy- _
ed my newspaper work when it has a,
helped me to be a more successful j_
or better farmer."
I expressed a hope that the ending
of the controversy between the conservative
father and the progressive
son will be as happy as was the partnership
of Mr. Cheever and his
father.
About the Tires.
Anderson Mail.
Col. K. H. Aull, writing in the
Newberry Herald and news, after a
visit to several cities at a distance,
takes occasion to say:
"And talk about your clean city,
your clean streets, and your beautiful
parks and trees?Washington is
the place to see them; all the?e
things and more. Columbia had j
beautiful trees and streets and small
parks in the streets?I say had them,
because I noticed the other day when
I was there that the beautiful shade
trees, that it took generations to
grow, and that it will take generations
to replace, were being cut
down. In Washington, in the same
class of streets, the trees are being
planted and are being protected."
Pnmmontlnor livwiit thiu I
Courier of Walhalla ways:
"The officials of Columbia ought
to he ashamed of themselves. They
ought to know that the trees of a
municipality are public property;
they ought to take a trip out into
the world and note how thinking people
look after Nature's beauties.
What a pity the officials of our Capital
City are so short-sighted and
provincial."
We present these views of our
neighbors to the officials of the city
of Anderson. We do not believe in
letting trees block the coming of development,
but we do believe that
care should be shown in the matter
of cutting down the trees. What Anderson
needs is an experienced landscape
architect to come here and thin ,
out some of the treeB we have on
the streets and lawns. This may be
done without any hurt to the city
and will improve the trees that are

father that year that if he would a
change methods and farm better so ?
he could afford to pay me wages I 1
would stay at home. Some changos ?
were made, and I remained at home, 1
but it was very hard for father to a
work differently from what had been J1
his custom. It was a constant strug- '

increased he finally yielded and I >*
