\ % 1 ’ PAGE SIX THE CUNTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON. S. C. THURSDAY, AUGUST U, 1924 DIAL’S SECRETARY IN A STATEMENT P. H. McGowan Writes Abdut Em ployment In Senator’s Family. P. H. McGowan, Senator Dial’s pri vate secretary, has made the follow ing statement with reference to al leged employment of members of the senator’s family in his Washington office: “The congress annually appropria tes a sum of money to pay necessary clerical hire for each senator. A senator, who is not a chairman of a committee, is allowed not exceeding four clerks, including his secretary. It is permitted, and in fact, is a com mon practice for some senators to pay the entire appropriation for cleri cal hire to two or three persons, while others employ four. “Senator Dial could properly and without any basis for criticism em ploy his daughter or his son as his secretary or clerk. Many senators and members of the house do this. “The charge is made, as I under stand it, that Senator Dial carries his daughter on the senate payroll and that she performs no service. The senator has several children and very frequently all of them work in his office. There are times when the clerical assistance and at such times the senator employs extra clerks, whom he pays from his private funds. I can truthfully say that no senator in Washington attends to the duties connected with his office more promptly and efficiently than does Senator Dial. It is true that the daughter who draw’s the salary of a clerk does not give her entire time to the office, but it is also true that other members of his family, w’ho draw no pay, give much of their time to work in his office and that at times the senator is compelled to em ploy extra help and pays them out of his private funds. “The law providing $240 a year bonus or extra pay for all govern ment employees became effective March 1, 1919, which was before Senator Dial took oath of office. “I firmly believe that the good peo ple of South Carolina will resent the present method of attempting to be little Senator Dial. If more atten tion were given to Senator Dial’s record than is being directed to trif ling personalities, the people would learn of his ability to serve them further.” KEEPING WELL;!

Enrollment Given County By County 'Total For State Over Two Hundred And Fifty-Seven Thousand. Greenville Leads. Columbia, Aug. 10.—Harryt N. Ed munds, secretary of the state Demo cratic executive committee, yesterday morning made public the enrollment figures, county by county. The total for 1922, Mr. Edmunds finds, was young man. But the muscle fibers of the heart are like rubber. When you are young they can stretch, even be yond the ordinary, without permanent Injury. -But by middle life the heart muscle is like old rubber. It's all right as long aa you don’t put an unusual strain on It, but If It’s stretched. It’s apt to break. Men and woman over forty-five, and especially over fifty, should avoid sud den, extreme and unusual exertion. If the heart muacl# la nat diseased. It’s fully equal to the ordinary, everyday strain which la put on It But sudden and severe exertion may cause serious If not fatal consequences. Unusual ex ertion Increases the rate and force ot the heart’s action. The heart Is like a rubber ball. If It la overstrained. It stretches. This may cause acute dila tation of the heart, sometimes severe enough to produce death, or It may re sult in stretching the valves of the heart so that they never work properly thereafter. Many serious heart conditions havf their origin In some unusual exertion, which Is often unnecessary. If voc ■-ire middle-agen or past, don’t run after -tree! cars or trains. Walt until the next one comes, even If you are a little ate. This may require five or ten min utes’ waiting, hut It may mean several years longer life. •A. 1»J4. W•st»rn Nswap*par Oaiaa.) WOMAN PRESIDENT? NOT YET. WORLD GETTING SMAbLER. THREE AGES OF BARBARISM. STONE, BRONZE, IRON. This is the political stage of “rosy reports.” They pour in on LaFol- lette, Davis and Coolidge. Coolidge is told that Ohio, Iowa and Kansas are already his. Davis is told that with the South and New York, Massachusetts, Illi nois, etc., he is ELECTED NOW. LaFollettes followers say they have “twenty-five states sure.” The “rosy days” are pleasant, only some one is sure to be disappointed. John R. Voorhis, oldest office holder, aged ninety-five, predicts a woman President. She will come, but not in fifty years. Many women in the United States would make Presi dents better than any, with two ex ceptions, since Thomas Jefferson. But man, proud man, dressed in a little brief authority, will take a long time to get over his SUPERIORITY COMPLEX. Men of low intelligence sincerely believe that they are in some mys terious way woman’s superior, and such men decide Presidential elec tions. If a woman becomes President be fore 1890, it will be through promo tion of a Vice-President. That might happen within a generation.

The scientific world notes the dis covery in France of a new anaesthe tic called “sommifaire.” With no bad after effects this anaesthetic makes possible the longest opera tions. It is injected into the blood, causes the patient to remain half conscious for thirty hours, which is excellent for major operations. It is hard to believe as you read of scientific methods for avoiding pain that when anaesthetics were first used they were savagely denounced as works of the Devil. Earnest preachers declared that God WANT ED us to suffer and it was a sin to thwrat His divine will. Joseph Greenberg, of New York, will return to his home with new knowledge of this country and great er respect for the size of Texas. He left Brooklyn in a little automobile to bring his son back from “some where in Texas,” and told his wife he would be gone “about three days.” He will be surprised to find it will take about as long to cross Texas as to cross all the rest of the American continent. When you’ve entered Texas on one side and come out on the other, you have covered almost half the distance from ocean to ocean. YOU NEED NOT FAIL When Edmund Carter Whitney was born on Castle Street in Boston, where Brigham’s creamery now stands, he was the thirteenth child. The family was exceedingly poor. Eddie, as he was called, was practi cally given away. A man named Symms in Lancaster, Mass., “took” Eddie and started to make a farmer out of him. pegging piteously for a chance at some sort of clerical life Symms took Eddie to the town’s Sav ings Bank and got him a job as er rand boy. In his spare time he help ed the chief of the fire department, the postmaster and the board of se lectmen. On summer mornings he drove a milk wagon after first milk ing Symms’ cows. When Eddie was 18 years old he was holding down seven jobs and his total earnings were $11 a week. Out of thii) he sent $10 a week to his mother., He clothed himself on the remaining $1 a week, or $52 a year, and bought books. He College Receives Money From Board Twelve Thousand Dollars Received From Education Board On ^ Endowment Fund. Announcement has been made dur ing the past few days by Dr. D. M. Douglas that the sum of $12300 has been received from the General Edu cation Board by the Presbyterian College. This amount brings the total up to $76,000 which has been received from this source. It will be recalled that the General Education Board of New York two years ngo promised the college $125,- 000 provided $250,000 was raised for endowment purposes. This stipulated amount was raised in the nfUlion dollar campaign and to date $152,000 of it has been collected and applied to the endowment fund. As soon as the re maining $98,000 can be collected, the college will immediately receive a check for $49,000 which is still due from the General Education Board at the knees, of Mrs*. - Final Settlement Take notice that on the 25th day of August, 1924,1 will render a final ac count of my acts and doings as Execu tor of the estate of J.

But while they had begun to leave their great fortunes to education and science instead of seeking to bribe their diety and buy eternal bliss for their own worthless souls, they retained the worst fea tures of earlier barbarism. The dis coveries of science in chemistry and physics were used for war murder on a gigantic scale. “The dregs of the race committed murder with their own hands. The so-called upper classes lived in shameful luxury, utterly indifferent to poverty, disease and ignorance around them. They even herded young children of the poor into fac tories and mills, grinding them into profits for their own use. “On the whole, that culminating period of the iron age was inferior in dignity and decency to the stone age.” To stimulate interest in better roads, the president-of San Salvador has presented an automobile to the governor of each state and stipulated that he must make a regular report regarding the roods hi his territory.
