Mr. Welch celebrated his one hundredth birthday last May. He Is in every way a very remarkable old gentle man, full to overflowing with his native Irish wit and humor. While he was conversing pleasantly In The Courier office a gentleman approach ed him, extending his hand, with the question, "Do you know me. Uncle Billy?" There was a moment's close scrutiny, and Uncle Billy- remarked, "Shu re, shu re, Ol know ye-Ol al ways know a dhom rascal whin Ol see him!" Away back before the war Mr. Welch came to this section from New York, where he had lived for a number of years after his arri val In America from Dublin, Ireland, where he was born. He had a large contract on the old Blue Ridge tun nel, which was never completed. On his contract there ls yet $3.500 due him, as a certain per cent of all work as lt was done was held back until the whole should be completed. The war stopped the work, and of course Uncle Billy never received the per cent that was to be paid when his work was finished. He Is not a Krindlug creditor, as the following will Indicate; Before he came tc this county a friend of his in New York borrowed from him several hundred dollars, and later wrote Mr. Welch that whenever he wanted the money to write him and he would send lt forthwith. Only a few dayt ago Mr. Welch produced this lettei (now over fifty years old), and re quested bin son to write the gentle man that he ls ready to receive the money. In spite of his hundred years Mr. Welch is remarkably spry can still read his paper, and he and his good wife, who ls now about 72 years of age, do practically till ol their own work at their comfortable little mountain home.

Sept. 7.-Special: More and more the university authorities are striving to link the institution t-? the common schools of the State. Several members of the present fac ulty have for years been closely Identified with the com mon schoois teaching in tho State and county schools for teachers. addressing teacher bodies and the public on school matters. Henlizlug that the high school situation In the State was far from satisfactory, the Hoard of Trustees, a little more than two years ago, established in the univer sity a chair of secondary education, and called to lt a man who had taught for nearly twenty years in the common schools, most of that ?time in South Carolina. Prof. Hand i began by giving half of his time to teaching in the institution, and the other half to field work over the State. Within less than a year the demand for his time was so heavy that from that time since he han given almost his entire time to this high school work over the State. In the meantime the Legislature has ap pro ii ria ted $50,000 annually to aid the high schools, and the State Board of Education made Prof. Hand its State Inspector, further, linking the institution to the schools. There are now in round numbers one hun dred State aided high schools, town and rural. These schools are getting the benefit of his services in building courses of study, classifying their work, and urging on the Improve ment of these schools. For the first time in the history of the State all the colleges and the public at large have access to detailed tabulated In formation as to the actual work done In all the high schools of the State. The volume of correspondence and the number of bulletins of informa tion which pass through this office are heavy, and are growing almost dally. This department of the uni versity is devoted to the educational interests of the State rallier than to the Individual Inerest of this institu tion. -Butter milk toilet soap, 3 cakes for 10c. this week.

President is Kxpectcd to Urge Con gress to Make Increase. Washington, Sept. C.-President Roosevelt, I. lils final message to Congress, pi >bably will recommend an increase In the numerical strength of the army to at least one hundred thousand men. At present the army ls on a footing of sixty thousand men, the number provided for in time of peace. To the general staff lt has become evident in the last two years that sixty thousand men are too few properly to garrison the posts at which it ls necessary to maintain an army force. These posts Include the garrisons In the Insular possessions of America. The law provides that the army may be In creased to one hundred thousand men in time of need. This provis ion, in the opinion of the military ex perts of the government, is likely to prove a serious handlea]) to the army if absolute necessity should arise for a larger force. It has been shown by letters re ceived at the war department that the people of the country are im mensely interested in the manoeu vres of the army held at the various permanent posts In the country. In years gone by little has been known of the operations of the army, but in the past two years, since public attention has been drawn to the work of the regular army In connec tion with the National Guard of the various States at the several perma nent camps of the United States, peo ple generally have manifested the deepest Interest In the army's man oeuvres and have exprr -sed to the war department their desire to come more Intimately in contact with the service.
