THE THINGS WE REMEMBER
.What is your most pleasant mem
ory in life? What do you look back
to as the greatest event in your life,
| or your best friend ? What is it that
you turn to, in the past, to cheer
you in your daily grind when the
blues or periods of depression come?
Memory is either the greatest
blessing or the greatest curse giv
en to man.
Memory atones for defeat. It
sweetens the bitterness of present
failure. It destroys the glamor of
iU-goften wealth or mums die stings

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. Business is improving and will
continue to do so if we all catch this
spirit of optimism and work and
hustle. Optimism is the forerunner
«f prosperity. We need to beware,

outside” so that it will not. paas, os

of poverty. It illiminates, with rosy
colors, the drab and dreary now.
Or else, it broods like an evil spirit,
from which there is no escape, tor
turing the mind with thoughts of
things that should not have been.
What are you doing today that will
be pleasant to remember or worth re
membering in the days to come?
What are you storing in memory that
you will later want to forget?
The secret of a happy life is to ac
cumulate a storehouse of precious,
worth-while, sweet memories. These
are the things we should remember,

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.
Prince, Jr., of Boston and later in the
year married Eugene V. R. THayer,
former president of the Chase Na
tional Bank of New York.
Funeral services were conducted
this afternoon at the chapel of the
Massachusetts Cremation society in
the Forest Hills district. They were
conducted by the Rev. Abbot Peter

“Love for Social Life, Dancing and
Smoking Cigarettes” Leads So- 1
ciety Woman to Kill
Herself.
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

“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-
