PAGE SIX THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CUNTON, 8. d THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1825 TWO FARM BOYS WILL RULE AT WHITE HOUSE Everett Sanders, New Secretary to President Calvin Coolidge, Spent His Youth in the Corn fields of Indiana. By ROBERT FULLER Washington, D. C., Jan. 27,'f—When Everett Sanders reports as private secretary to President Coolidge at the White House next Monday morning, February 1, our nation’s affairs will be in the hands of two former farm boys. President Coolidge from that bleak New England farm near Plymouth Notch, Vermont, and his • secretary, Everett Sanders, from the waving cornfields near Coalmont and Terre Houte, Indiana. Both boyhoods were spent on the farm in the hard work of sowing, reaping and the many other hard rounds of long days, from before sun up ’til after sundown. No doubt many who read these lines now know the farm day and the demands each new dawn make. Perhaps they can gain to law and attain a bit of financial independence. Sanders’ father, Rev. James San ders, was a farmer, when he was not preaching in Indiana. The boy work ed—and worked hard on the farm un til he was full grown. He got such schooling as was possible in the inter vals between ploughing, sowing, reap ing and other farm work. But he was ambitious. Finishing the district school he managed to scramble through the State Normal school, taught school for three years and then by waiting on tables and other such menial work, he managed to get a law education at the Univer sity of Indiana, graduating in 1907. Then he took up the practice of law. Finally he entered politics and gain ed First state office as assistant At torney General of Indiana^ Then he aspired higher and finally entered the NEW SERIES FOR BUILDING & LOAN inspiration, in knowing that Calvin fgce as- representative of the Fifth Coolidge arid Everett Sariders knowj from first hand contact all of these labors, having struggled in youth with the same exacting tasks. The retirement of C. Bascom Slemp as Secretary to President Coolidge and the selection of Everett Sanders came as the result of Mr. Slemp’s re solve to get back to private business. It has been known for some time that our first millionaire secretary to a president was tired of his job since things politically had failed to move as he had hoped. It is no secret that Mr. Slemp aspir ed to a place in the president's family as a cabinet member. It was thought that his ability to line up Southern delegates for Coolidge would be re warded with a higher post. However, many things interferred with that program. Wm. M. Butler beat him out with the president as chairman of the Republican National Commit tee. Then Harry New decided to re main as postmaster-general, the job it had been assumed Slemp aspired to. Sanders has experienced a roman tic career of poverty and must have been reluctant to interrupt his plans, which at last promised much, to be come secretary at approximately the same salary he was receiving as con gressman. Whereas, Slemp is wealthy, Sanders is not. Sanders could have been re- Indiana district and was elected to congress. „He* served four., terir s in ^Washington. , All of his congressional colleagues are for him. He was a regular ad ministration man at all times and was one of Nick Longsworth’s most relia ble lieutenants. He gained first national prominence during the Cleveland convention when after Lowden and Borah declined to accept the vice-presidential nomina tion, a boom was started for him. Senator Watson of Indiana, an aspir ant for the presidential nomination, refused to sponsor the boom, Sb final ly as a comprotnise, Dawes was nomi nated. Everett Sanders was born near Coalmont, Ind., March 8, 1882. He will celebrate his 43rd birthday, just four days after the inauguration of President Coolidge. He was married to Miss Ella Neal of Terre Haute, Indiana, in 1903. Mrs. Sanders is very popular in congressional circles and already has a host of friends in Washington. KIWANIS CLUB MEETS FRIDAY The Clinton Kiwanis Club will hold its regular meeting Friday at 6:30 p. m. at the Clinton hotel. The club elected to congress from his district' will be addressed by Dr. Dudley Jones last fall but he declined to run, an- j and an interesting program announc- ncuncing that he desired to get back ed for the evening. Clinton Building and Loan Associa tion To Open 2000 Shares Series February 15th. An interesting announcement of the second series of the Clinton Building & Loan Association appears else where in this issue. This enterpris ing association surprised the com munity by floating the largest indivi dual series (their first) in South Carolina, with over 4200 shares sub scribed, maturity value $420,000. It is a fine record for Clinton and wor thy of commendation. The principle feature of the asso ciation is the 50c per month per share basis and its long term feature of development. It is designed to care for the increased proportionate cost of construction and enable the young men of moderate means to own his own home at hardly more than the usual monthly rent cost. It is inter esting to note that the association is receiving the support of Clinton’s financial institutions and of Clinton- ians generally. The second series, said to be limited to 2000 shares, opens February 15th, and already a good portion of that amount^ has been subscribed by in vestors and would be hoYne owners.

GARDENING TIME IS ALMOST HERE Clemson College Sends Oct Suggest ions for Winter Planting and Pre parations for Spring Gardens. Clemson. College, Jan. 29.—The time for preparing the spring garden is close at hand, and such vegetable seeds as are to be planted in early February should be secured in ample time for planting as early as the soil conditions will permit. Smooth-seeded varieties of English peas may be planted the first of Feb ruary. Plant the seed fully five inch es deep and very thickly in rows about three feet apart. Secure Irish Cobbler seed potatoes and plant by February 15. Be sure that the tubers are planted fully five inches?- deep—otherwise they may be injured by severe freezes. Well hardened cabbage plants may be transplanted to the garden after January 15. In transplanting cab bage be sure that the entire stem of the plant is covered with soil. This will enable the plant to withstand the freezes. Sow cabbage, cauliflower, and let tuce in frames, for transplanting ip March.

Yellow Danvers, also sets of the White and Yellow Multiplier are suggested. In planting the sets be sure that they are placed 1 1-2 inches below the surface of the soil.
