C., JAN. 31, 1924 10 PAGES SPIRIT OF omMISM NEEDED The Greenville News of a few days ago had a timely editorial headed, “Why the Poor Mouth Stuff,” in which the editor stated that he did not understand why some people and newspapers continue to preach “hard times,” when there is no apparent reason why it should be preached. The article stated and correctly so, that just as much harm may be done by continually ding donging into the cars of the people that the State is poverty stricken and unable to make any progress or development as by creating a false notion of unbounded prosperity and wealth. We are only making matters worse when we continue to cry hard times and paint gloomy pictures. While conditions are not as we would like them,, still there is no need for alarm and when we compare our condition with that of other states, countries and peoples of the world, how pro foundly grattofuf we should be. There- fore, the- need to stimulate business and confidence is a spirit of optimism, of hopefulness for the future, and a determined effort on the part of all to work and strive to make this year better than last and the preceding anus* i.. Let’s face the future with this spirit.. The time for the pessimist to be at the bat is passed and his depressing sphere should be knocked cleor over the fence and into the marshes of dte&pair. , The thing for South Carolina to do, and fdr each individual citizen lo strive for, is to- go forward. We should expect and prepare for a busy, successfu? year, for one usually finds what he looks fib**— Indications point ta a bright fu ture.

District Attorney O’Brien said the medical examiner had Informed him that “there was nothing of a crimi nal nature connected with Miss Hard ing’s death.” Miss Harding whose mother died some years ago, had taken charge of her father’s household here. One of her sisters, Alice, is Mrs. R. T. Pell, of New York. The other, Mary Elizabeth, was divorced early last year in Paris from Frederick H.

Boston, Jan. 28.—W. £. G. Hard ing, governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, in a statement to night admitted that his daughter, Margaret Eliott, who was found dead at their home last Saturday, com mitted suicide by shooting herself with his revolver. Earlier in the day the medical examiner had reported that Miss Harding committed sui cide, but the immediate cause was not made known. Miss Harding, her father said, left notes addressed to him, to relatives | bout lt and to friends. In the note to her father the young woman asked for giveness “for what she had done and was about to do.” “I couldn’t stand life- any longer,” was one phrase of the note Mr. Harding said. Mr. Harding said his daughter's act was due to her “love for social life, dancing every night and smok ing cigarejttes.” When Associate Medical Examin er William J. Brickley announced his finding today he said that the im mediate cause of death was a he morrhage; that her act probably was due to ill health and that no other person was involved. He did not dia- t’lose the manner in which the young woman ended her life. Miss Harding, before she came to this city a year ago with her fath er, was prominent in social circles of Washington. She was born in Bir mingham, Ala., 23 years ago. Last Thursday she returned from a month's stay in Washlngtofi. HeV father said that she told him she felt tired and ill and he suggested that he defer a visit which he had arranged to make to Washington. Later in the day she said she felt better and urged him not to delay his trip. He was on his way from Washington when she died. Only the maid and the other servants were in the house at the time. Dr. G. A. Watterman said Miss Harding called him to her .home Fri day. He said she informed him that she thought herself on the verge of a nervous collapse, but felt better and made an appointment to see him at his office Saturday afternoon. He made no diagnosis. Dr. Brickley said he was called to the house because Miss Harding (Continued from Page One) in order to show how far the admin istration was back of Fall, the presi dent was thinking of appointing Fall ■ w m “The particularly dastardly part of this whole- terriWe' affair is the at tempt of the Coolidge managers to charge it solely against President Harding, a dead man. As presiding officer of the senate where the first charges were made, and as a mem ber of the cabinet, without portfolio, Mr. Coolidge had opportunities of sensing this scandal that President Harding never had. In honor, de cency and gratitude to the Republi can party, which for 20 years has provided him with public office, Mr. Coolidge should give up his endeavor to force himself on a suffering party.” Washington, Jan. 27.—Senator Johnson declared tonight, when his attention was called to Mr. Payne’s statement, that he knew nothing a- It is difficult to imagine the world without credit to day.
