Columbia, Jan. 16.-"Founders' Day" at the University of South Car olina closed brilliantly to-night with tho address of Charles Francis Adams, of Massachusetts, in which lie reviewed his fifty years of experi ence In a public career and gave his estimate of mea and movements In that time. One of 'the most effective incidents of the celebration was tho presenta Hon to Mr. Adams, at tho close of his address, of a floral emblem by the M. C. lintier and Wade Hampton chapters of the Daughters of tho Confederacy. Tho presentation, on the platform, was made by James Simons, of Charleston. In beautiful ly chosen words be dwelt on Mr. Adams's services in behalf of the whole country, saying that no man has done so much to restoro good feeling between the North and South. 10H Years Old. A hundred and eight years ago the doors of this ancient institution were opened to the youth, of the State. The college grew out of the message of Governor John Drayton, on Novem ber 23, 1 80 I. He . ailed for an irsti tiition "not. prompted hy local views or party prejudices, hut springing from the united voice of an ellghten ed Legislature; projected as a rally ing point of union, friendship and learning for the youth from all parts of the State. May the kindest favor ot' Heaven smile on this national un dertaking, may no envious opposition disturb its progress ami may the ?.hanks of a great people remain with . ll those who have been or shall be instrumental in establishing ami sup porting this institution, equally hon orable to their heads and their bea rts." Beginning with thirty students in lS0f>, tho enrollment of the Univer sity the present year will exceed :*>00. The Influence ol' the University is felt throughout all parts of the State, rendering service to the peo ple, in building good roads, in better ment of the common schools and pro moting public health and sanitation and the work for the enrichment of rural life. By extension lectures and practical bulletins the University is Identifying itself with the every-day life of the people. All of these pur poses of the founders come up for review on this historic date. Alumni Election. At a meeting of the alumni at 1! o'clock officers wert- elected for the year. They are: Edwin R. Lucas, of Walhalla, president; H. N. Ed munds, Columbia, vico president; A. C. Viooro, Columbia, secretary and treasurer. Tho new advisory hoard consists of the following: W. W. Ball. Colnn.Ma; 1?. A. Wilcox, Flor ence; \V. H. A y cock, Columbia; Christie Benet, Columbia; R. M. Ki nard, Newberry. Benth of Mrs. X. E. Carter. M; tison, Jan. 18.-Special: De parted this life on January 12, 1913, Mrs. Rozibelle Carter, wife of N. F. Carter, a daughter of Nick Rholet 1er. She leaves a small son and her husband to mourn their great lo^s; a loving father and mother, one sis ter and two brothers. Mrs. Carter was a favorite with all who knew her and it is hard to give her up. 'Tis hard to break the tender cords When love has bound the heart; 'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words, "Wo must, forever part." But again we hope to meet her When the day of life is fled, And in heaven with Joy to greet her, Where no farewell tears are shed. To her dear ones we would say, weep not for her, though gone. While her body rests in the cemerery at Damascus awaiting the resurrec tion, her spirit is safe with the an gels at home. She was a member of Unity Baptist church for some years and was still in the bloom of life, being but 2f> years old. 'Tis sad when ono so young is taken from our midst, but "Our Father's will be done." StripiH-d of His Possessions. Si.

Tho manifesto also removes the Grand Duke from his position-as re gent-designate during tho minority of the Imperial Crown Prince in case of tho death of the present Emi>eror. HON. A. C. JONES TAKES LIFE. No Cause Known for Act Except Hi Health. Spartanburg, Jan. 15.-Telling bin wiro that ho waa going to the wood houso for some fuel, A. C. Jones, a traveling salesman, formerly a can didate for Governor of South Caro lina, and one of the most widely known men in the State, went to a little out-bouse In the back yard of lils homo on Converse Heights, this morning at 10 o'clock and shot, and Instantly killed himself. An inves tigation was at once held, but the officials were convinced that lt was a clear case of suicide, and heneo no In quest was held. Mr. Jones had been in ill health for about two weeks. He was a suf ferer from a severe attack of grip, but this morning was much improved and had planned to come up street. But at 10 o'clock he went alone to the little wood house and fired one shot from a 38-calIbre pistol. The ball took effect in the right temple and death resulted instantly. There wen? no eye-witnesses to the tragedy, but several persons heard tho shot. They hurried to the scene, but Mr. Jones never spoke after the shot. The Jones home is situated on Ma ple street, which runs parallel to East Main street. The little wood house is about one-half a block from East Main street, and about twenty yards from tho back door of the house. li was a narrow little shed, and Mr. Jones, after shooting the fatal shot, fell ha? Ix ward and his head rested on tho door sill. The ?.istol was found near his feet, where he had dropped it while standing up before he fell backw ird, Dr. J. K. Edwards, who lives n<3dr il y, was at one?? summoned, and when he arrived a few minutes after the shot was Hied. Mr. Jones was dead. Dr. Edwards stated that Mr. Jones had been sick for two weeks, and was despondent at times. He recently changed his business connections, but it ls not thought that this had any thing to do with bis despondency, and that lt was rather the result of ill health. He was unquestionably temporarily deranged at the time he fired the fatal shot. Ile left no note or message to his family. Well Known Over State. A. C. Jones was well known all over South Carolina. He was a na tive of Laurens county, but went to Newberry in his early manhood, en tering the mercantile business, and was at one time proprietor of the Newberry Herald and News. For a long time, however, Mr. Jones had been a traveling salesman. He was prominent in T. P. A. circles, and was a Mason, Royal Arch Mason, Knight Templar, Shriller and Pyth ian. Mr. Jones married Miss Lula Gren eker, of Newberry, who, with three children, survives him. He ls also survived by ono brother. Will Jones, of Birmingham, and a sister. Miss lula Jones, tho latter being well known in Walhalla, having taught in the Walhalla Graded Schools. The body was taken to Newberry Thursday afternoon, and funeral ser vices were held at Avelelgh church, conducted by Kev. Mr. Kerr, the in terment being at Rosemont cemetery.

Horo's one about an American prin ter whoso vicissitudes took him across tho ocean last year and landed him In tho town of London. The printer is back in Cleveland now, and he told us tho story himself, says the Plain Dealer. This prlntoi bethough himself of starting u little paper in the heart of England. So he rented a little build ing and then went to purchase his typo and presses. For tho type he stopped at a type founders' place and explained his needs. "I wain some type,'' he said. "Wo don't sell tyj>e here," answer ed tho clerk, blandly. "You might get lt at the drajier's shop, over the wye." "How should I get type at a dra per's shop?" "How should you get lt anywhere else, may I ask, think you, slr?" "Well, in my country tvne is sold at a tyi>o founder's, not at a dry goods . tore." "Aow? Did y' wish toype, slr? 1 thought you wished typo, such as they have In typo measures and type worms. You didn't wish typo to bind on tho edge of frocks, but toype to print a paper with? Step this wye, thonk you, sir." You cannot get through tho world hy hanging un io somebody else's good name. ?KATH OF KICV. O. lt. F008KK. Died at Home of His Daughter Last Thursday.

Washington, Jan. 16.--The mail ing of babies by parcels post is a real infant, industry which Postmaster General Hitchcock is asked to foster. in the circumstances of his bache lorhood, Mr. Hitchcock has consider ed seriously the calling into consul tai ion of experts in the transporta tion of babies, as a letter which he received to-day presents to him a problem wit li which he is quite un familiar. To add to his embarrass ment the letter contains a note of genuine pathos which appeals strong ly to the postmaster general. This is a letter identically as it was phrased and punctuated: "Ft. McPherson Ga. "Postmaster General: "Washington D. C. "Sir I have been corresponding with a party in pa about getting a baby to nils (our homo being with out one) May I ask you what specifi cations to use in wrapping so it (baby) would comply with regula tions and be allowed shipment by parcel post as the express co are to rough in handling, yours--' The name signed to the letter ls withheld at the request of Mr. Hitch cock. As babies, in the opinion of the postmaster general, do not fall within the category of bees and bugs, the only living things that may be trans ported by mail, he is apprehensive he may not be of assistance to his cor respondent. Hack to 1846 Ta ri if. Kansas City, Jan. 16.-"We must go back to the tariff of IS 16 for a solution of our tariff problem," said Vice President-elect Marshall here to-day on his way to Arizona."We've got to get back to the time when the people of the country had equal op portunities; back to the time when there was old-fashioned competition, old-fashioned rewards of comforta ble living and tranquil old age for labor. "If I know Mr. Wilson and old fashioned Democracy they propose to go back to first principles. We pro pose first to go back to a constitu tional tariff. The tariff has corrupt ed fhls country more than anything else. It has corrupted good men and made bad men worse. "I don't care how good a man ls, give him a tariff favor at the ex pense of his neighbor and you weaken his moral fiber. In a little while he can see no wrong in buying a franchise from a city council." One hundred and eighty million dollars is paid out each year to pen sioners in the United States. Nothing can make tho winter shorter than a ninety-day promissory note. Wood's Seeds For The Farm and Garden.

AN He Was Regarded by One Who Knew Him .?ell. Editor Keowee Courier: The wri ter was greatly grieved to read the announcement that C. E. O. Mitchell was dead. I am quite suro that Westminster in particular, and all of Oconee county, has suffered a dis tinct and heavy loss in this tho pass ing away of one of ber most devoted and public-spirited citizens, than whom no more useful and helpful citizen eve?* lived in tho county. It was my pleasure to be associ ated in business with Mr. Mitchell for a number of years, and in this way we became quito intimate, and the longer we were in business to gether the more magnetism he dis played. Being of a quiet and retired disposition, no one would realize his true worth on meeting him, but long before our business was dissolved his noble, high-toned, honorable and lov able life showed up with resplendeut force. C. E. O. Mitchell has passed to the great beyond, but his life and char acter will for a long timo be an in spiration and an example for good to those who were so fortunate as to be associated with him. In writing the above I realize that my pen is too feeble to comment ad equately on such a character as was his. W. A. Strother. Walhalla. Jan. 10, 1913.

The development of Tallulah Falls by the Georgia Railway and Power Company is going to rank as one of the great engineering feats of the age, according to the belief of dis tinguished engineers who have re cently viewed the site. In the development of the falls the natural beauty of the surround ings will not be marred, says a dis patch sent out from Atlanta. The magnificent scenic effects will be en hanced rather than disfigured. With the development of tho falls, power, light and heaL will bo carried to thousands of communities, many of which have not had any power or electricity before. The height of the>dam ls 115 feet; the legnth is 380 feet, while the base is approximately 100 feet. The length of the tunnel through which the Tallulah River is to AW is 6,663 feet, and this is the really re markable feature of the develop ment, as nearly every fojt of the way Is hewn thorugh the soild rock. The lake, seven miles f-om thc power house, will hold 1,205,000,000 cubic feet of water. Ironing Done With Feet. One of the most curious sights which I beheld in Cairo, writes a cor respondent of the Wide World was men ironing with their feet. They had not been mixing their drinks; it is simply a custom of the country. These men were employed in the na tive tailoring establishments. Except for a long iron handle the irons were phaped like Ithe ordinary flatiron, only larger. A solid block of wood rested on the top of the iron, and on this the men placed one foot, guiding the Iron in the direction desired, by means of the handle. For the sake of convenience the ironing boards were raised only a few inches, and however strange the method may seem to our ideas, it certainly does the work well and expeditiously.
