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

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.
It is a young man’s association,
though its directors are nin.e of Clin
ton’s most representative and success
ful business men. The officers of the
association are: George W. Young,
president; E. B. Sloan*vice-president;
W. P| Jacobs, secretary-treasurer.
Directors: George W. Young, E. B.
Slcan, E. J. Adair, W. J. Bailey, Guy
L. Copeland, J. F. Jacobs, Sr., Jack H.
Young, J. W. Copeland, Sr., C. W.
Stone.

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.
Onion seeds should be sown in
frames for transplanting in late,
March. Australian Brown, PrizeUfker
and Southport Globe are all excel
lent varieties.
Onion sets may be planted in late
February. 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.
If placed near the surface they Will
be lifted out of the ground by freezes.
Giant Pascal celery seed should be
sown on the north side of a building
in a well'prepared seed bed during
February. The plants will be ready
for transplanting in July and the
celery ready for use by Thanksgiv
ing.
Riding a hobby is all right—unless
you expect to get somewhere.
