The mailing lists have been correct
ed and all those who have not paid u
to the first of September have bee:
taken from the list, unless they re
quested to be retained for a shor
time. In making the corrections w
no doubt have made some errors an
if our attention is called to them the;
will be corrected. We are mailinj
b statements to those whose time ex
f pires either September 1 or Septem
ber 15 or October 1, and if we do no
i 7
hear from them they will b
taken from the mailing list. We re
gret to do this, but in order to kee;
the mill grinding we must have som
money. We have tried very hard t
retain those who have been sufficient
ly interested to request that the pap
er be continued for a brief time, bu
it may be that we have taken off som
* who made the request, but if so it wa
jp not intended. We must get our lis
on a paid in advance basis and we ar
going to do so. We know that yoi
are going to come back and why no
renew before the name is taken ofi
It would s?ve us trouble and assur
you not missing a single issue.
We understand' that the railroa^
commission takes the side of the rail
road in the matter of the underpas
1 on the Columbia road below Prosper
|| ity. And yet the railroad agreed t
fix this before the road was built
U Why a railroad commission any waj
iH Wo a cpnflp.m?n sflv some tim

ago that he regretted that the peopl
of Newberry ever took the matter ui
with the railroad commission, that h
believed that if the people had gon
Erectly to the railroad authoritie
that something could have been don
to remedy the trouble, and that th
underpass would long ago have beei
fixed. But then the Southern agrees
to pay $1800 toward the expense o
removing the grade crossings betweei
dewberry and Prosperity and th:

1 Talkers
Charleston American.
A really good conversationalist al
ways proves an excellent companion
A somewhat pessimistic and perhap;
rather bored professor of math e mat
-ics in a great university said not lonj
ago that the art of brilliant conversa
tion has been lost. Of course in thi
we cannot agree. There are as man;
good talkers today as ever lived oi
earth at one time in all history, an<
there is no doubt that never befor
have there been so many idle gossip
ers and bores. A good talker is ;
blessing and a delight. The gossipir.]
bore is an unpardonable nuisance.
Even erood talkers may becom
bores. We are told that the grea
Br. Samuel Johnson, who was one o
the most gifted conversationalists o
all time, was frequently cblipred t
, hold his unwiling auditDrs by the la
pels of their coats in order to be abl
to pour into their ears his uninterest
ing words. Even the great lexicog
rapher became sometimes a mere idl
gcssiper.
If people should make it a rule t
talk only when they have something
to say it is certain that the conversa
tional standards of the times woul
be considerably improved. Olive
Goldsmith, one of Dr. Johnson's fa
mous contemporaries, was one of it
poorest talkers. That was a brillian
literary club in which Johnson, Burk*
Sheridan and other great intellectual
held membership, and in spite of th
fact that Dr. Johnson, in a singula
mood, once wrote that Goldsmit
"wrote like an angel but talked Iik
a parrot," it is recorded that ever
time Goldsmith opened his mouth h
said something worth while.
Good talkers are always good thinners
and good listeners. If we woul
become good conversationalists let u
learn to think.
Good talkers generally make sur
that they have something really in
teresting to say before they speak.
A great need of the age is mor
thought and less gossip.
How the past is linked to the pres
ent is shown by the contiguity o
one person of the silk shirt and th
denim overall,
FORMER PRrSIDEN~
LIVES SIMPLE LIFE :
J
Anniversary of Date on Which Woodrow
Wilson Was Stricken Finds
Him Improved
Washington, Sept. 25.?Woodrow j
Wilson fell a sick man two years agotoday.
Since then he has passed un-,
der the shadow of death and out of
j the White House.
Thousands of Americans of what-J
'"jever political faith recalled the an-'
P niversary of the beginning of the for-;
n!mer president's illness and wondered
!~jwhat he was doing. Although he no j
Monger figures in the daily headlines'
? as he used to, Mr. Wilson still is j
, "news." I
Tiiorpfnrp it sppms aDDrocriate on'
j .LI. ..
.this occasion to tell the latest news
:about him.
~ j Mr. Wilson, besides following the
;ways of a retired gentleman with aj
01 lively interest in the world's affairs,'
"ilives by the eight hour day which he'
^; once told congress was "adjudged by
6 j the thought and experience of recent
; years a thing upon which society is
justified in insisting, as in the interest
of health, efficiency and content
t
ment." He aims to have eight hours!
for sleep, eight hours for work and,
s
eight hours for relaxation and keeps'
to the schedule pretty fairly.
I Seven o'clock in the morning is'
j
about his rising time. He once again j
. .shaves* and bathes alone and then
" takes some calisthenic exerciscs pre-1
0 .
jscribed by his physicians as beneficial
j in restoring the use of nerves and
cj muscles which were impaired during
his breakdown. He has breakfast in;
i~ I
s Mrs. Wilson's bourdoir and finds that
two years of illness and slow conval0
esence have not affected his appetite.
n: The morning papers never are neglected
whatever else may demand ate
tention. Half a dozen of them are
e delivered early and Mr. Wilson reads
p them thoroughly.
e ! Work of Morning
rrm may>?i innr'c Wrtvlf
6 llKJIl CVIIlCd WX mvumig, ^
s About that time the mail carrier, six
e days a week,: delivers quite a packet
e of letters. They come from a variety
n of correspondents. Old friends of the
d administration days write informal
f friendly notes or discourse on the
a politics of the day. Schools and cols
leges ask for donations; individuals
jwho feel the pinch of the times ask
| for some personal financial assistance.
11 Others discourse on the shortcomings
e as they see them of the Republican
party. Autograph hunters are represented
in large number. Various
?; gentlemen who think their ailment is
^'the same as Mr. Wilson's want to
'"jknow the names of his physicians.
e | Mrs. Wilson invariably goes over the
e , morning's- mail with her husband,

' | secretary for reply, most of them the I
1 former president answers personally,!
dictating to a stenographer who
comes from his law office every morning
for the purpose. All of them he
signs himself.
" The morning's work is done in the
l* library. The old desk and chair and
s table Mr. Wilson used in his study
" at Princeton are there. Thousands
*
? of volumes which were packcd away
"| while he was in the White House are
s,there. Through the windows may be
y'seen the indigo blue strip of Virginia
a hills where he used to go golfing, and
^inot far away hangs a bag of golf
e sticks, a reminder of a better day.
Princeton Colors Used
?1
The former president and his in
separable companion always have
'their lunches, served in the dining
room. Then comes a nap of an hour
^ and then, unless the weather is most
^ inclement, a motor drive. Mr. Wilson
in fVtP Whifp House became at-1
v> 4iUC ill U14V VI
0
tached to a certain automobile. It
went back, as is the custom each year
0 y
jto the manufacturer, from whom Mr.
'J Wilson bought it as a "use.-, car." He
g had it painted blactf, with orange
j trimmings?Princeton colors?and in
his car which he regards as an old
friend, he goes driving into the coun*
: tryside. He dislikes exploring new
^ routes but rather enjoys driving over
_ the same ground at about the same
r
time. Many folks in the country look
s for him; one quaint old lady recently
t held up the car and presented a
k sweater which she had knitted; a little
g' girl gave him a knitted lap robe. Free
quently the car stops at a farm and
takes on a load of fresh vegetables,
keggs and fowls. The party is always
? 'home before dark.
e I
y Dinner is an informal affair; somee
times there are guests, always old
i friends or associates. Mrs. Wilson
' no longer dresses for the occasion as
d she always did while Mr. Wilson was
s president; it in en famiile. But no
j meal in the Wilson household ever
e proceeds until grace is said. Mr. Wilt.
has always said it himself, and months j
iago when he was so weak he could;
' |
e hardly stand without aid, and his!
voice was almost inaudible he stead-)
ied himself on his chair and whisper- (
>- ed the plea for divine blessing,
n; Friends remember him ever at
e meals. Frequently a Potomac river
fisherman sends a rare specimen from
his catch. Once, another friend sent
him ducks out of season and paid the
game warden a handsome penalty.
Reading or Amusement
After dinner he goes in for reading
or amusement. Once a week Mr.
Wilson has a motion picture show of ,
his own and frequently sees the feature
film at the same time it is beingshown
at the theaters down town.
Occasionally he goes to a vaudeville
sl,n"T fulrinrr seats ill the
Olil/W} ill J VJT ~ ?
last row, and entering and leaving
with every effort to avoid ostentation.
It rarely happens, however, that
somebody fails to discover the visi- ;
tors and a demonstration of hand- ,
clapping always ensues.
Evenings at home, however, arc
spent in the family circles. The for- ,
mor nrosi'dprit and Mrs. Wilson read J
a book together, or perhaps Mrs. ,]
Wilson reads aloud. 1
Sometimes it is one of the detec- <
tive stories of which Mr. Wilson was <
said to be so fond. They do not nowj;
form as large a part of his reading h
as may have been the case years ago. j,
"LT ~ Karl oarlv riot, to sleet). ! '
JLXKZ lU kJ\*\Jk VM& * j ^ ?< v v - v ^ r j
however, but to relax, to read and j
write. Like Mark Twain he does j i
much reading and writing in bed. ,
Propped up by pillows, and with a lit-1?
tie writing board across his knees he I?
reads and makes notes, some of them J
voluminous and in shorthand. Nobody p
knows what they are about. He puts;,
them carefully away. They are not-'i
notes for a book, which many expect. 11
Not to Write Book j<
Unless Mr. Wilson cnanges msp
mind decidedly he will write no reply
to Robert Lansing or any one else! ]
who has criticised his policies. A!1
writer who has been given access to
Mr. Wilson's paper, of which there is
most a ton, is writing a book, but it
>vill be his own; not Mr. Wilson's.
"I'll give you any material I have ,
for your book," Mr. Wilson told him'.
"I'll answer any questions you ask;
but it's your book. I don't even want .
to see wh:. you write."
However the evening may be spent,',
however tired he may be, there is one ;
thing the former president never neglects.
It is the reading of a few '
verses of the Bible. When he says
good nignt he invariably reads aloud ^
some short passage from the book (
which always rests on the reading ta
ble at his bedside.

Wood-row Wilson's real condition? |
* He wiil be 65 years of age next December
and has passed through an or-1
deal which few men survive. The
measure of his progress toward health j
must be measured with those facts in j
mind. His normal weight in health
while he was president was 180 j
pounds. He showed little departure!
from that figure now. His eyesight 11
- i i
is as good aJthough he 'has discarded ij
his favorite noseglasses forspecta-|
cles. His hair .has turned snow white,1
but it has not thinned. His appetite jj
is too robust to please his physicians.!;
Last March when he left the White j |
House with president-elect Harding.j
an attendant had to place his feet on} |
each succeeding step from the porti-j
co. The other day he sent his at-1
tendant away and climbed alone, not j
without some effort, into his automobile,
just to see if he could do it, and
seemed pleased to find that he could.
Walks With Cane
Motor nerves and muscles of his
left side have given more response to
treatment than was hoped for. Of
course they are not fully active now. I
He still walks with a cane most of
the time but frequently hangs the
crook over his arm and "goes it alone
without my third leg," as he puts it.
TT7M C ? ...^11 I
ivir. w nson is iar irom a wen man
today; he was far from a well man
when he entered the White House
over eight years ago. But during the
last two years there have been times
when his voice was inaudible and
when he could not support himself
alone. His condition today shows
more improvement than his family
and friends dared hope for.
There are many angles to Mr. Wilson's
present day psychology. Living
*? Tirrtr.U^/v4-/\v? r. vs An a-P n /i/>acp f a
in VY ajiini^uun cwiu cao^ ui tu
party friends at the capitol he might
give consultation on party politics,
but he does not. Whatever a visitor
may say in criticism of the Republican
administration Mr. Wilson never
makes a reply. He never permits any
one in his presence to speak what he
regards as "disrespectfully of the
presideut of the United States."
Somebody once raised the question,
"How do your ex-presidents live?"
Colonel Roosevelt had a comfortable
fortune of his own augmented by income
from writings. Mr. Taft, until
he became chief justice, had from
time to time profitable sources of in
come.
Mr. Wilson brought with him to
the White House the small savings of
a lifetime, which he preserved. During
his terms in the presidency his
royalties from books mounted into
rather handsome sums. Singi 'arly
enough they have shown a ma-ked
slump since he left the White House.
While he was president circumstances
helped him save money.
The war and the suspension of so1
cial functions and entertainment I
were quite an item. It has been estimated
that the former president's 1
pocketbook was at least $25,000 richer
because he was not called upon to
wine and dine numerous dignitaries (
and official persons.
Upon his modest fortune now he
lives simply, with an establishment of
only three servants and a "used car."
Removal of Preachers' Skeleton
Yorkville Enquirer.
The Spartanburg Herald prints, on
the authority of Rev. S. T. Hallman,
an interesting recital of the removal
of the remains of an old Lutheran
precaher in Newberry county, one
hundred years after burial. The peculiar
thing about the matter was that
the' skeleton was in good condition;
but that was not all. It seems that
fne roots of a tree above the grave had
2:one downward and enveloped the
skeleton almost from head to foot.
Rev. Mr. Hallman seemed to see in
t.his phenomena something bordering
on the miraculous; but evidently the
preacher does not know much of the
theory of scientific fertilization. Since
the roots of the overhead tree were
* " i - - ?.
only after that plant iooa so hcccbsary
for their rapid development and
since they found here just what they
wanted, nothing was more natural
than that they should crowd around
such a rich morsel. To be sure that
this old preacher was .all light; but
the pretty sentiment that has been j
suggested in connection with the matter
of the tree roots has very little to 1
rest on. Had ,the body underneath
* n
been that of a Horse tniei or an ua i
the tree roots would have sought it J4
with no less eagerness.
Clemson Booth at State Fair S
Clemson College, Sept. 26.?The
Clemson Alumni association plans to
maintain a booth at the South Caro- t
lina state fair in Columbia October
24-29, inclusive, with Secretary D. E. c
Folger in charge. All alumni will be c
expected to register, giving their Columbia
address in order that they i?
^ ? -c I
may be located easny Dy lvrmw

decorated with Clemson
colors and the walls are to be adorned
with pictures of Clemson's athletic
heroes of past days. |1
