FACTS ABOUT I; OUR PRESIDENTS Interesting Incidents About the Nation's Rulers. I- ' TWO WANTED THIRD TERM ^PfrrtHrles of State Have Been Luck- ] lest in Way of Promotion to i the Presidency. i Possibly you have forgotten some j of these incidents relating to Presidents a \ l Vice P'xorient* ->f it: Uuted Sta-es, says the pliilade'ohiu Ledger: Washington was the onfc ^reunion* ' to be elected unanimously. 'rhe only President or Vice-Prest- ' dent to resign was John C. Calhoun, 1 who gave up the vice presidency to ( become a United States senator. J Q. Adams refused to ride to the 1 Capitol with Andrew JACK son and f left town v hen Old Ilickry took the 1 oath of cfTite. Jefferson and the second Adams were the only Presidents who were i elected by the house of representa- ' tives. neiitlier having had a majority ' d of electoral votes. i William Henry Harrison served: the shortest time as President, hav- * ?ing cnuglit a fatal cold the day he was Inaugurated and died one month!' latei. ! 1 "Are you not President Harrison?" 1 Inquired a gushing woman sometime I after this son of Indiana had left I the White House. "No, madame. I'm j 1 Benjamin Harrison, of Indianapolis. 1 Grover Cleveland is the only Presi- i 1 dent in the United States." 1 The senate elected only one Vice ' President, Richard M. Johnson, in ( 1837, having failed to receive a majority of electoral votes. 1 Five Vice Presidents became Pre- 1 sldent by death of the President, 1 Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson, Arthur i and Roosevelt. t VA nhvolAlAA ?1 I a i v? |fiij oiv.iuii| J) 1 CUV 11X71 til JUU I Ilit! * I ? 1st has become President. 1 i Grant and Roosevelt are the only I two who sought three terms. Cleveland was the only President 1 to have some one else sandwiched be- j tween his two terms, Benjamin -Harrison being the sandwich. 1 John Adams was not only the old- 1 est of ex-presidents when he died, I being more than 90, but he lived the 1 longest after leaving ofllee, about twenty-five years. 1 Relatively, Washington was the 1 richest President, but his private in-' come was hardly equal to that of Roosevelt. Col. Roosevelt was the only Vice ( President to attain the presidency by another's death and then be honored by a re-election. There have been four ax-Presidents living at one time?Adams, Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. At. ter Washington's death, during Adams' term, the country had no exPresident. Now we have two, but they don't speak to each other. Buchanan went through his term a tfichelor. Woorfrow Wilson and James A. Garfield were college presidents and Jefferson founded the University of Virginia after he retired from the White House. Washington, Monroe, Jackson, the two Harrisons, Taylor, Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Hayes, McKinley and Roosevelt were soldiers. Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and Washington's farewell address are <iuu?u mi muic 11?m|ut'iuiy man any | other presidential utterances. Cleveland's "Public office is a public trust," Grant's "Let us have peace," Jackson's "By the Eternal" and Roosevelt'B "Malefactors of great wealths" became universal cr.tch words. Of cabinet officers, the luckiest in | a presidential way were secretaries j of state. Grunt and Tsyft were sec-. retary of war, but there haH been no | secretary of the navy in the White House. Washington and Lincoln were the tallest Presidents, Cleveland and Taft the heaviest. When Buchanan was a young man in Lancaster county some?one told him that if he should change his pol^itlcs he migh become President. He did both. Grant had always been a Democrat until after the war, when the Republicans elected him President. The only President to turn his coat after electllon was Tyler. Elect-1 e<* by the Whigs on the "Tippecanoo j add Tyler, too" slogan he wen' over ! to the Democrats when he had climbed into the presidency over the coffin of-Harrison. Whep the chancellor of New York administered the oath to Washington he ended with this: "Long live George Washington President of tha United States." That form was | n<>ver repeated. L&. - ***--> \ One President was inaugurated in I S'ew York, tvo in Philadelphia, and \ll the others in Washington. At first the salary of the President .'.as $25,000, and that of the Vico Resident $5,000. Now the l'resint receives $75,000. Alexander Hamilton proposed tiiat i President be elected for life. Others in the constitutional convention 'avored two or three Presidents instead of one. The official salute for the Presilent is twenty-one guns. I heard a salute of 101 guns fired for King Edward when the proclamation was ead. When the body of Napoleon vas brought back from St. Helena ind arrived <n the river Seine, a saute of 1,000 guns was fired. "' I THE TOWN LIBRARY. The public library is, if anything, nore important to the towns than to he cities. In the former, such an nstitution becomes the single hub, he single social center from which >mlnates and is diffused public hought and culture plus a rare comnunity spirit and town pride which ire essential in the average communty Far from being a mere storage and ender of books, the town library is i community leader, or so it is beng regarded nowadays. The expedience of a certain town, as published 11 a current magazine, is of intert. This village was given .during i period of depression and discouragnent, a Memorial Library by a proninent citizen. This library included jeople, where- entertainments, fairs md socials are given. Classes in physical culture for both boys' and ;irls are conducted during the winter nontlis. Picture shows are given in I lie auditorium two nights a week I inl serve to keep in their home community the young people who have seen in the habit of migrating to ither towns for their pleasures. The library, moreever, has a room with showers and bathtub, another with a billard table and other games for men and boys. It also has a domestic science room where the girls ire taught sewing and cooking. At i community banquet, the first held In the village, the catering was done by the girls from these classes. With he library as the pioneer, the town -chool has since adopted domestic science and manual training work. But the library's influence was not ; confined to its own walls nor to its 1 connection with the town school. In its first year, the civic spirit it aroused crystalized into a village improvement comiftee and this body of representative citizens has secured for the town many improve, ments. ?Cheraw Chronicle.
