SANDERS FAMILY REUNION. k \ Held at Home of Mr. William H. \ Sanders on Friday, September 3. ^ ' "And doth not a meeting like this make amends For all the long years I've been wandering away? To see thus around me my youth's early friends, As smiling and kind as in that happy day? . "Though hapiy o'er some of your ftr brows as o'er mine ? The snow fall of time may be vstealing?what then? Like Alps in the sunset, thus lighted by wine, We'll wear the gay tinge of youth's I rr?s#?s Attain." 9 ~o And so it is with families, after many years o4 wandering and separation a meeting together amid the scenes of youth and childhood will | make amends for many weary years of walking apart. And while the i snow fall of time may be stealing o'er one, yet such meetings will i bring back th? glow of youth and we! forget the s,now fall. Two of the j sons of James Michael Sanders have) wandered far away from the old home, one of them to the great northwest and the other to the far away Pacific coast. It is not so easy to get together, but the coming is the more appreciated because of the great distance that separates them, and yet in this day we are beginning to annhilate distance, and the California oast is not near so far away {- as it once was. ' } At any rate the children of James > ' >*--1 -1 O ] u:? Tnlin I. iUlCUitei oaiiucia aiiu ma nuc, u un? * Nickles, met at the home of Mr. William H. Sanders up-, in No. 7 township on Friday, September 3, and all L of them were present, and a barbe cue dinner was served, and the neighL bors and friends were invited to enH joy the gathering, and a most delightI ful: day was spent. The only thing that any one could exactly find fault \ with, is that Mr. Will Sanders lives > in this beautiful country place all . alone, when he should long ago have II gotten a good helpmeet to enjoy the V good things of life with him. * James Mrchael Sanders was mar~ - ried to Miss Julia Nickles in 1856. She was a native of Abbeville county and a lineal descendant of John C. Calhoun. 'Mr. and Mrs. Sanders settled in this same No. 7 township section of Newberry county and reared their family of six sons and one daughter. Three of the sons are now i:..: ?4.u;? living vcxjr iictti cav;u ucuci. 111 uua | section, and all are prospering. Two of the s^ns, as stated, live in distant1 states. . The daughter lives in Saluda - county. Mr. James Sanders served for four years in the Confederate army. He and his wife have passed , tc 'the great beyond. >' The children are: William H. Sanders, a farmer and merchant, now living on his country place in bachelorhood just 12 miles from Newberry, and he is prospering despite his bachelorhood. J/ W. Sanders, a farmer, who lives a couple miies distant on the Chappells road, and T. R. Sanders, who' lives very near Mr. Will Sanders. Rev. J. R. Sanders, a Baptist minister, now living in Des Moines, Iowa. He is at present fii nancial secretary of the Des Moines university, a Baptist school, and is raising an endowment of several million dollars for the university. H. M.

Maggie Sanders, the only daughter, now the wife of Mr. , reter W. Kempson of Saluda county. Mr. J. W. Sanders' was married in 1896 to Miss Lillie A. Davenport and they have 11 children as follows: Claude, Richard, Jolin, George, Jessie, Bessie, Mary, Frank, Belle, James, Maggie. Claude is the assistant to the clerk of court at Newberry, and Miss Bessie is a student at f * ' Anderson college. The others are at I home. Mr. T. R. Sanders was married in 1896 to Miss Fannie Harp, who with four of the five children has passed to the great beyond. The daughter. Miss Vinnie. who is livine. makes her home with her aunt, Mrs. P. W. Kempson, and she is now a student of Anderson college. i Rev. J. R. Sanders, who as stated.! lives in Des Moines, is a bachelor and should of course long ago have set up I a household of his own, but .he han' n >t. Mr. H. M. Sanders, who lives in California, married in 1910, Miss Katherine Rose Dooley of Nevada. His wife aceonpa^icd him to family gathering and on this vish to the old home scenes. Miss Maggie Sander*, th? '!au;*iiter, is now the wife of Mr. P. W. \ Kempson of Saluda county. They v have three children, Mike Kempson, Jr., at present a senior in Clemson college, and two daughters, Misses * > r Julia and Mary Ellen Kempson, juniors in Anderson college. There was a fine barbecue dinner served to about 100 persons, and it was excellent, the meats having boon j cooked by Mr. B. 0. Ending. Among I the many friends and neighbors present were Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W. Reid of Dyson, who at one time lived very near Mr. Sanders at Old Town.] I enjoyed being with tirs family] gathering, and, as I have oftm be-1 fore remarked, I like to see those familv reunions and I like to write the family history in as much detail as I can, for some time maybe in the future when the historian comes to write the history of the vouniy he may be glad to search the files of The Herald and News for information, and if what I write is correct, as I try to make it, and somewhat in detail, it will be useful to him in writ-. ing his history. ? 1 E.

This statement may be confirmed by the first devil one meets. It is all hard work, smudges of ink, an odor of benzine, and very little money on Saturday night. In the case of young James M. Cox?today the Democratic nominee for the presidency?being the devil I in his brother-in-law's printing es-! tablishment at Middletown had cer-1 tain complications, however. For one thing, the brother-in-law publish-! ed the Middletown Signal, and the devil worked at everything from J sticking tvoe to collecting bad debts. | There is a tale which may be apocryphal, but which is nevertheless told of a persistently delinquent subscriber: "If you do not pay up, I'm going to lick your boy," said young James M. Cox. | The delinquent fulminated. He j did not believe that Jimmy could lick J his boy. If he^ did succeed he, the delinquent, would lick him, Jimmy. | Also he would stop his paper. The Delinquent Paid Up. "JBut if you do not pay up I am going to lick your boy," said the persistent James, refusing to be diverted from the principal issue. In the end the delinquent paid up and did 1 not stop his paper, icars aitur v,ua had become a big man in Ohio he used to tell the story, adding to it a statement of his conviction that Cox would' have licked him?the delinquent?also if it had been necessary. "He is a gritty little cuss," said the ex-delinquent. "He is a mighty bad man to g6t into a fight with. He never quits." Thanks to the job in the Signal office he managed to get through the Middletown schools. Then he won a license to -teach school. In those days the county school boards were not exigent of their demands upon ine applicants for school teaching positions. Usually the teacher was the son or daughter of some influential person in the school district. Cox had made himself sufficiently well known to get the job?teaching was a "job" then?on his own. He was not a particularly scholarly boy. Too much of his time had been taken by the effort to get a living. "He could read and write and spell correctly," said an old timer. "But he certainly did raise cain with the dictionary. He found some mighty I fnrmxr monnincrs in n Int t.lmsp lorir words." But he taught school and got $40 a month for it, in the village of Heno. By this time he was 16. Forty dollars a month was not enour* and so h? got a "job" to teach nighi school in Middletown. That was only worth $30 a month, as the school board thought night school teaching was only a side issue of the' teacher. At any rate, it was while teaching night school that he met Paul Sorg, the millionaire tobacco manufacturer, who later on became his warm personal friend, employer and finally backer. Still that was not enough money. So he became the Middletown correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer. That merely involved wandering around town and getting acquainted with every one, for which he had a natural facilitv. Even today there are scores of old inhabitants who are Pete and Billy to Mr. Cox, and to wh.om Mr. Cox is and always will be Jim. He had a few other side issues. There were things to be done for the county officers now and then. He made a deal in calves on one occasion which profited him $18. He was only a kid, but he was one of the most widely known inhabitants of Middletown. His memory for names and faces is phenomenal, he has a genial approach, and he remembers what the other man has ' . . . ' k vmmmaaaaatpmKmajmtmgmBm po? ?a aa wiubi wbwh k '>een doing and asks about it. ' "He always seems to be more in- j 'crested in whot you are doing than j in what he is doing," said one. I The Enquirer did not expect much i from its Middletown correspondent, ' except the Sunday morning contribu- i t'cn to the Ohio valley items, in ; i which the joys and sorrows of the J | citizenry were to be faithfully re counted. But what happened in 31 id-, dletown was always faithfully re- j ported. Young Cox never went to i bed until the last light had been j blown out. So that when "Second ; Forty-five" was crashed into by a I freight after midnight one morning j and a dozen or so excursionists killed' and injured, he was one of the first j to hear of the tragedy. He ran and j trotted four miles?two miles each way?to and from the scene of the wreck. Then, after getting a clean i scoop for his paper, he put.a page of j the Middletown Signal on the wire j and kept a rival correspondent from ; getting the news to his own shoet. j "Just like Jimmy," the old set- j tiers chuckled, when they heard o? it.! "He always likes to win. But the J Enquirer will never stand his runnin' j up ail that expense."- j mxm IfUTPNFY OF C.OX TO KNOW PEOPLE j j (Continued From Page 1.) bc~t minds in all thi civilised naticns." He declared that several of the leaders of the Republican party had an active part in its formation, mentioning' in this connection Former j Piesident Taft, Former Justice Hughes and Elihu Root.
