Barnwell and 1 Counties Fu of Vana M. W. Brabham in the State. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 14.?To a South Carolinian residing in Nashville, this week is of more than passing interest. While it is "Vanderbilt University week," it is in a sense "South Carolina week," also. Each issue of the three daily papers" has been carrying from one to three columns for more than a week, featuring the outstanding sporting and society events of the fall season. The occasion is the opening of the great stadium, which has just been completed at approximate cost of $200, ? - * ? m>*li tViis is Bamberg rnished Some lerbilt's Leaders friends and visitors. The South Carolina Woman's club has some memberg present. Preachers, teachers, business men and others, some of whom are natives of South Carolina and otherg who are descendants of former Carolinians, are "among those present." So to a South Carolinian residing in this cultural center of the South, it is good to know that South Caro { .000. Closely laenuueu ?iiu ? , the visit of the young newspaper | man, Cornelius Vanderbilt, 4th. \ Carolina and Vanderbilt. But to a South Carolinian thething of great interest is the intimate manner in which everything is associated with the names of Palmetto j state leaders. The central event of the formal opening of the stadium will be, as it always is, the singing between halves of the university ode to the tune of alma mater. When the more than 1,000 students file down from their seats and march in formation until they have created the great "V. U,"-the student hand begins playing, and as the first strains are souded and "Alma Mater" is started * I ?very Vanderbilt alumnus stands | with uncovered head and joins in the I singing of words written by a South Carolinan. Thousands of eyes turn to'" ward the box occupied by the university's chancellor and there they see him, a South Carolinian, with unx covered head also. And as automobiles drive through the campus to and from the stadium, they pass the ?v tomb of another Carolinian, who L-1 v"' brought the university into being. When from old Barnwell county went young Holland Nimmons McTyeire to attend a college in Virginia, there was the future leader in educa tional matters for the Methodist church, South. He was instrumental r- in founding Central university at Nashville in 1871. The next year Mr. Vanderbilt made his great donation and plans were worked out for changing the name to Vanderbilt university. When the doors were formally opened in 1875, Bishop McTyeire was named chairman of the board of - X! 3 trustees, with active cnarge tu auministration/ Associated with him were Chancel* lor Garland and Vice Chancellor T. 0. Summers, the latter having gone to Nashville from South Carolina as ediM tor of The Christian Advocate and Sunday school literature of the Methodist church. The tombs on the campus today contain the bodies of these eminent leaders of years agone. j; / Chanceller Kirkland. V When Chancellor Garland died in 1895, a young South Carolinian, who had been graduated from Wofford colleg and had been also a teacher in ;v., that institution, was elected chancel: lor. And now for more than 30 years James H. Kirkland has headed the institution. Regardless of the storms which have beat about his head, no one denies for a moment that he has _ : ?en a great leader in educational matters and that vanaerDiu owes much of her growth and present standing to his leadership. The relatives of Chancellor Kirkland are found' in Bamberg and Barnwell ? 4 counties today. The opening of the stadium today is featured by the football teams of Coach Dan \IcGugin of Vanderbilt and Coach Yos$ of Michigan. This contest has been watched through years and years, the pupil, McGugin, trying to conquer his old teacher, Yost. It was fitting that these should be the first to clash on the new field. While the slogan. "Fill the stadium," has not been without its good effect, there is only one thing which will actually fill every corner of th? magnificent field and that is , the si* ging of Olin D. Wannamaker's words to the tune of "Alma^Mater." -Mr. Wannamaker, a South Carolinian, graduated from Wofford, attended Vanderbilt as a graduate student and while there penned these words which are more than dear to the Vandy students, alumni and friends. "On the city's western border" is not altogether true today, since Nashville has grown far beyond the bounds of the campus, but poetiat? ~ ~ ^ ~ trno o n/-J will cany me wui us icmam uuv uuu doubtless always be sung without change. The stadium itself is a great monument to the efforts of believers in clean sport and its splendid architectural lines and excellent facilities for seeing any contest in any part of the field will remain for many years as a tribute to the worth while in college and university sports. Witnessing the game are many South Carolinians, some of them graduates of Vanderbilt, others lina has contributed so greatly to the leadership of Vanderbilt from its very beginning 5.0 years ago. And it is also interesting to know that as James H. Carlisle served at Wofford for so many years, so James H. Kirk! land, a student under Dr. Carlisle, has given so many years to Vanderbilt. And it is fitting that one of the students under Chancellor Kirkland should have succeeded Dr. Carlisle as president of Wofford. So the names of Shipp, president of Wofford until 1875, then a professor at Vanderbilt; Carlisle, president of Wofford until 1903; Snyder, president of Wofford since that time; McTyeire, chairman of the board of trustees at Vanderbilt; Summers, vice chancellor at Vanderbilt; Kirk- ; land, chancellor at Vanderbilt; Wan- < namaker, writer of' Vanderbilt uni-. ; -rrrwni + tT ndo ond o OTQ(1liato ftf VVftf- 1 VUiiJItJ V/UV auu U> {3* Hiuuw w VA. If V* J ford, should be so linked that as the ; years pass, South Carolina and Vanderbilt shall be inseparable. Truly "Vanderbilt Week" is in a sense "South Carolina Week" as well. J WHEN THE TRUTH HURTS. _______ 1 Newspapers Don't Take Pleasure in < Printing the Court Records. 1 Court news is rarely pleasant; it is almost always unpleasant for some one. The staring lines that tell of a j relative's disgrace are painful. It gives a newspaper no pleasure to add to the suffering of the innocent or 1 increase the mortification of the guil- 1 ty, but the public has a right to know ! what its courts are doing, and as si j matter of news, the records of the < courts, from recorder's court to su- 1 preme - urt, are published. Scarcely a week passes that some one does not request, beeseech, cajole < and plead with the Index-Journal ^to ( leave his name or the name of some friend or relatives out of the report of e court proceedings. It is never pleas- t ant to cause pain, and the Index- ^ Journal regrets that the truth hurts, but such requests cannot be granted. ] In fairness and justice to all, names cannot b^ deleted to shield anyone. It would not be just to publish one man's name and leave another's out. High or low, the names in the records of the courts are treated imperson- < ally. It is a matter of news that the (public wants and has a right to know. The Index-Journal makes an (( honest effort to be just and fair to ? all. ' 1 The newspaper that bears grudge j and "has an axe out" to avenge per- j sonal grievances is a failure as a j newspaper. A newspaper should pre- s sent the facts, as accurately as it J < can, without bias or favoritism. , When it fails to do this,* it fails to live up to the ethics of the profession, j for newspapers have a code of ethics, : whether the public recognizes it or ; not. If the devil himself were to 1 come to town with clattering hoofs j and brandished pitchfork, a newspaper would owe it to its code of ethics to be fair in its report of the event?: whether it liked the devil or not. Every descent newspaper stands for order, law, sobriety and decency in the community. It may condemn with vigor in editorials, practices and policies, but when it comes to giving | an account of the news, the facts are i presented, whther they condemn or condone, and these facts, cold and unassailable, speak for themselves.?

Harding has just been purchased by the nation's executive. It is just out of Blooming Grove, Ohio. "Sentimental reasons only," is the explanation given by French Crow, postmaster at Marion, 0., who closed the deal for the president. The old Harding homestead consists of 266 acres, ant^ until repurchased has been owned by two different farmers. The house in which the president was born burned down years ago, according to Dr. G. T. Harding, the president's father, but the old house still standing was the family home during the early years of "Warren Harding. \ Williston Man Says Europe Near War Dr. Clarence J. Owens, On His He" turn Prom Europe, Paints Con-, dition Serious. Hoboken, N. J., Oct. 13.?Europe is closer to military conflict than at any period immediately preceding the World war, members of the international trade commission of the Southern Commercial congress declared today upon their return on the President Harding. The commissioners stated that their study of conditions in all the European countries convinced them that immediate solution of the various financial, economic and repara tion proDiems was necessary 10 avoiu disaster. Fourteen members of the commission, headed by Clarence J. Owens of Washington, D. C., returned on the President Harding. A report of the commission's investigations will be presented to the 15th \ commercial congress in Chicago November 20 to 22. "Notwithstanding the treaty of Versailles and the low economic status of European nations," said a preliminary report of the commission, "Europe is more nearly on the verge of military conflict than at any period immediately preceding the World war. The Belgian compromise is purely temporary and unless some solution of the problem is reached prior , to the expiration of the six months' period the conditions in Europe will be infinitely worse. And Still Unspoiled. "Who are you?" asked the scout for St. Peter. "I," replied the Truthful Celebrity, 'am the only famous person in the world whom an interviewer has dared to say was spoiled by the adula:ion received."
