Wilson of Baltimore and the White House physician, 'Gary T. Grayson, M. D., set out on an open motor car to visit some of the scenes of his boyhood. The party stopped at the north?>rner of Sumter and Washington streets in order that the president might call upon his aunt, Mrs. F. B. Woodrow. She welcomed} him as "Tommy'' and remarked to Mrs. Wil son: "Since he took to writing iK>va.o lie calls himself iWoodrow." Mrs. Woodrow attended the burial service. Thence the party proceeded to 1705 Hampton street, premises owned npw by J. M. VanMetre. :Mr. and Mrs. Wilson got out in order to inspect the dwelling, which Joseph R. Wilson H?m in which the family resided I/Uiib ? f during the four years (1870-74) in which the elder Wilson was ia member of Columbia seminary faculty. Several boys were playing about the house.

He and his wife leave the party at Richmond. John A. Wilson drops off at Baltimore. j At the president's own request,! State and city officials omitted official recognition of his presence, but the j flags on the State house and other buildings were half mnsted. Merchants had offered to close their places of business and drape their buildings, but these formal marks ofj respect were also omitted in deference to the president's -wishes. The people behaved with perfect propriety, baring tlieir heads ins the funeral party passed and keeping q. reverent and respectful silence. I mtm j PRESIDENT SATS HE IS GRATErUL Reception in Columbia All He Conld Wish.?Perfect Order Kept. The State. I I President Wilson, talking in his private car to two members of The State's staff, just before his departure, said that he had been touched and gratified by the spirit in which the people of his old home had received him. He had been pleased ulso, he coir? Kjit not surnrised. at the sense the people showed concerning the proprieties of the occasion. All the arrangements, the president said, were considerate and judicious, and the services were simple and informal, ai he would have them. He asked that his thanks be -borne to those of his friends und "old home folks" whom press of ciroumsiances prevented him from personally receiving. All Carefully Planned, Advance dispositions were made by Joseph Hyde Pratt of Chapel Hill", N. C., a friend of George Howe, in cooperation with two Columbians connected 'with the family. These were reviewed and approved by Henry E. Thomas, a secret service operative, "who arrived via the Southern railway yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. Mr. Thomas, in company with J. )Wl McOormick. the undertaker; J. W. Richardson, chief of police, and the two local committeemen, inspected the station, the route and the churchyard, checked over the arrangements in detail and found all satisfactory. One of the local committeemen all ?Mr. Thomas' request wrote in triplicate a memorandum of these plans. Copies weer delivered to the secret service men aboard the president's train the moment they arrived. Commanding the secret service , smifl:* fn ^harare of the presidential special was Joseph Murphy, chief of the White House staff. His assistants i were Dick Jervais, Edward Starling, 1 Jack JSlj'-e and Miles McHaill. They I were joined at the station by Mr. I Thomas.

ELECTION | Fate of Commission Form to Be Decided. [ The State. I Lewie A. Griffith, M. D., mayor of Columbia, yesterday ordered an elec! tion for 'September 26 on the quesI tion of recall for the commission ; form of government. The order was , issued under a recent decision by Judge Mendel L. Smith. - Mayor Griffith gave out the followjing statement: I "I have ordered the election for the j recall of the commission form of government. The election will be held Tuesday, September 26, 1916. "I originally refused to order this election. My refusal was based on a j written opinion rendered by the city | attorney, C. S. Monteith. i "Now that the court has passed I upon the matter, and having a high i regard for the opinion of Judge M. |-L. Smith, I can see no good reason i for appealing this cuse to the State j supreme court. j "The earliest time under the lav in i which I could order the election 1 would be Monday, 0ept. 26. I think I our citizens know as well now how they would like to vote on this question as they ^vould later. "An early election, with this question settled, will quiet the unrest among our citizens and be conducive i to the best interest of the city, its j people and its government.''

If we were in a business where we sent out bills to customers the first of every month, we should make It a point always to inclose a self addressed envelope for the return remittance. Thl3 practice involves small expense to the creditor, and it makes it a little harder for the debtor to find an excuse for laying aside the bill for a few days.
