THE MEANING OF WEALTH
A Long Island hermit, 94 years of
age, was found dead the other day in
his cottage. He died in rags and
filth, although he had 25 good suits
of clothes hanging about the walls.
The old man probably got great
satisfaction out of contemplating all
those suits and knowing that he would
never want for good clothes.
If he had read Poor Richard’s Al
manac, by Ben Franklin, he would
have seen this: “Wealth is not his that
has it, but his that enjoys it.”
Misers usually forget that money
is only a means to an end. They
aever know how, to enjoy it.
WELCOME P. C. BOYS
All Clinton is happy to again join
in welcoming the Presbyterian Col
lege student body. Our community
appreciates the value and the im
portance of this splendid institution,
and for its fine student body, w^ hold
the highest esteem. $o, in all sincer
ity we can say that we are glad to
see the P. C. boys back and we are
hoping that the next nine months they
are to spend in our city will be of
profit to them, and at the same time
pleasant and enjoyable.
Clinton is proud to have the college
located here and counts it a pleasure
and a privilege to know and associate
with the young men who compose its
student body.
In this spirit, we extend a most cor
dial welcome to the P. C. boys. We
want you to know that you are among
friends. W’e want you to realize that
there is no other place where you
tould feel quite sp welcome as you
tan always feel right here in Clin
ton.

Geneva, Sept. 7.—!‘It is magnifi

personal friends tonight after spend
ing the entire dsy closely following
the opening day deliberations of the
league of nations assembly.
She left the league auditorium deep
ly affected by the day’s experience.
She was particularly impressed by
what Dr. Eduard Benes, foreign min
ister of Czecho-Slovakia, told her of
a practical attribute of the league of
nations, which is not generally known.
"Do you realize,” he said to Mrs.
Wilson, “that by spending four
weeks each year at Geneva I see every
foreign minister in Europe? Like
other ministers I am able to treat in
this neutral atmosphere many ques
tions existing between us .which are
amplified later into important agreesconversations wit

Pictures Mayor As Inspiration To
OUR COLLEGE GROWS
It is indeed gratifying to all friends
•f the Presbyterian College to know
that it opened a new session yester
day with the largest enrollment in its
bistory. The matriculation in the
freshman class broke all records of
previous years, 120 young men having
signed up for the first year’s work.
Every indication'points to an abspici-
•us year and the outlook cannot be
described other than rosy and promis
ing. ' t
A comparison of. the progress the
institution has made under the presi
dency of Dr. D. M. Douglas, is indeed
interesting and reveals a growth that
is phenominal and a source of satis-
fhction and delight to all friends of
the institution, especially Presbyter
ians. In 1911 the college had assets
»©f $150,000 against $1,000,000 today,
•r an increase of 567 per cent. The
apnual budget at that time stood at
$10,600 against $70,000 today, an in
crease of 600 per cent. There were
6 men then on the faculty against 20
today, an increase of 233 per' cent.
The student body then totaled 87,
while yesterday’s enrollment reached
the record total of 300, an increase
exceeding 200 per cent. These fig
ures tell a story of growth and en
couragement, and forecast still great
er progress with the next few years.
Xhe dormitories are now all filled,
ma&trg it necessary in the immediate
future to provide additional facilities
to care for a continually increasing
student body.
The college is one of the commun
ity’s biggest assets. Its growth has
gone forth as the above figures indi
cate, in leaps and bounds, and it now
baa as attractive an appearance as
any college in the state. The build-
atuga are of modern and handsome
tttpstxqction, and the student body is
composed of f. fine bunch of young
mem Clinton is largely influenced
and benefitted by the activities of
such an institution, and we should all
feel a personal pride in it and the
brij|ht future it now enjoys.
All indications point to a still
greater P* C. This assurance should
be a cause of gratification to all
- friends of the institution.

Nevr York, Sept. 7.—William Ran
dolph Hearst, in a letter to The World
published today, denied being Mayor
Hylan’s boss, as charged by Governor
Smith in primary campaign speeches.
“In all the time I have known May
or Hylan,” Mr. Hearst wrote, “I have
never asked a favor of him nor has
he asked one of me. I have never
even discussed his political acts with
him privately.” /
He praised the mayor as a man of
sterling character and genuine ability
—“an inspiration to every poor Amer
ican boy and rich one, too.”
“Because of Hylan’s clean and capa
ble administration,” Mr. Hearst con
tinued, “some decency had reflected
on the Democratic local organization
and Tammany Hall had almost ceased
to be a stench in the noatriU of the
nation. But Tammany Hall does not
mind b^ing a stench if there is profit
in thq stench. It does not mind being
regarded throughout the nation as a
political mafia if the black hand
means blackmail and blood money.
“What do the lowbrows of Tam
many Hall know onKe merits of a
man who, like Lincoln, learned while
lie labored, and through his study and
high principles advanced to be an
engineer, a lawyer, a judge and the
chief executive of the greatest city in
the nation and a conspicuous success
in every sphere of his activity?
“If the New York Democracy wants
a man to run for prebident who would
appeal to nearly every great element
which constitutes American citizen
ship they could nominate John F. Hy
lan and elect him.
“But, the New York city organiza
tion does not want Hylan any more
than they wanted Tilden nor any more
than they wanted Cleveland.”
Governor Smith in his first speech
of the campaign accused Mayor Hy
lan of “blind, obedient, subservience
-to a super-boss.” The governor has
referred directly to Mr. Hearst since
then, and on Saturday night said the
mayor was "groveling at the feet of
tjie publisher.
The beginning of the last full week
of the campaign finds all candidates
professing confidence. Mayor Hy
lan’s supporters claim his renomina
tion by more than 75,000, while Tam
many leaders predict the nomination
of State Senator Walker by at least
60,000. The three candidates foe the
Republican nomination also make
claims of success.

ed by your husband is a great time
saver.”
When Mrs. Wilson attended the op
ening session of the assembly of the
league today she was presented with a
bouquet and an address on behalf of
the citizens of Geneva b y“the Asso
ciation for Geneva’s Interests,” which
paid homage to “your never to be for
gotten husband, the founder of the
league of nations.”
The address declared that GeneVa
ever more will be grateful to Presi
dent Wilson as it was Ijis choice as
the seat of the league and assures his
widow that Geneva will venerate his
memory forever.
The address concludes:
“While respecting your modesty and
reserve we nevertheless desire this
day to join in this public testimony
to the woman who was his faithful
companion in the hours of anguish
of the terrible World war and who
associated herself wholeheartedly
with his generous initiative.”
The public, which occupied all avail
able space in the two great galleries
of the assembly hall, stood up trying
to catch a glimpse of Mrs.Wilson when
she» entered today. ( Wearing a black
gown, she sat modestly in the rear of
the auditorium beside her American
friends. The public broke into loud
applause when Premier Painleve in
his opening address acknowledged
her presece and paid a tribute to the
greatness of her husband.
When the assembly adjourned this
afternoon the new president, Senator
Raoul Dandruand, and several other
statesmen paid her personel homage.
Among these were Dr. Benes, Paul
Hymans of r Belgium, former president
of the assembly, and Lord Robert Ce
cil. A delegation of the American Le
gion, who attended today's session
while on thorr way to Rome for a con
gress of allied veterans, greeted her
in the name of the former American
combatants.
Dr. Edwin Anderson Alderman,
president ..of the University of Virgi
nia, who delivered the Wilson mem
orial address to congress, also paid
his personal respects to Mrs. Wilson.
Premier Painleve, Foreign Minister
Briand and Louis Loucheur of the
French delegation called on Mrs. Wil
son this evening to present their re
spects. M. Loucheur was particulaV-
ly moved by the meeting as he knew
President Wilson intimately during
the peace conference negotiation in
1919, when he was a member of the
French delegation.
Mrs. Wilson received the French
statesmen cordially.

School Enrollment
;—Shows An Increase
The enrollment of the Clinton
schools, white and colored, has shown
an increase during the past week over
the opening day. • Last week’s total
has increased from 829 to .843. The
enrollment of the two colored schools,
Friendship and Bethel, has reached
the mark of 421, making a total of
1264 pupils in all schools.

bringing pressure to bear upon Mr.
McGowan,” said Mr. Baker. “When I
saw my name connected with the case
I felt that' I had Seen knifed by one
of my beet friends.”
Commissioner Baker stated that he
discussed the proposed dismissal of
Thomas with Mr. McGowan before the
matter was put before the commis
sion. He asserted that he knew noth
ing against Thomas at the time and
thought the chief commissioner’s ac
tion was hasty.
Mr. McGowan replied that Mr. Ba
ker had "questioned his right to re
move Thomas and wanted to refer the
matter to the attorney general.”
He added that "If a wrong impres
sion had been created by any state
ment I have made, I sincerely regret
it." „
Commissioner He&rpn also told of
itli the chief com
missioner relative to the proposed dis
missal of Thomas.
Mr. Manning’s motion to abolish the
investigating committee waa made
immediately after the conclusion of
Mr. Rhett’s talk. Little discussion ,
preceded the vote on the question. Mr.
Hearon declared that-in his opinion an
investigation o^ the commission and
departments by members of the com
mission would be open to criticism on
all sides and the committee’s report
would have little weight with the pub
lic.
The investigating committee has
held a number o^meetings since its
ci cation last month and its probe was
underway. '
Arrangements had been made for
an audit and investigation of the fi
nance of the highway department un
der the direction of W. W. Bradley,
state bank examiner.
